When Cortana used her key to open the door, there was no movement inside. The house was quiet, without any sound. The evening light made the house dim, so she turned on the living room lights and saw that no one was there. It seemed she was the first to return.

Hanna wouldn't be coming back, and Zhou Yi was nowhere to be seen.

Cortana didn't care about any of that; she just wanted to change her clothes. After walking around outside, she was hot, and her clothes were soaked with sweat, sticking uncomfortably to her skin.

So she went straight back to her room, not even bothering to close the door, and started changing.

First, she took off her clothes and pants, leaving only her underwear. Then, she reached behind her back to undo the metal clasp of her bra…

Zhou Yi, who had been lying on the sofa, suddenly woke up from a deep sleep. He felt nothing but exhaustion… He still couldn't move his body; the only part of him that could move was his eyelids.

Coming home from the training base, he felt it was already an achievement that he had managed to walk home at all.

So, after entering the house, he collapsed directly onto the sofa, not wanting to move at all, and then he just fell asleep…

Now awake, he slowly raised his eyelids.

The blurry view gradually became clearer.

Then he saw a snow-white body swaying in front of him…

If his hands weren't immobile, Zhou Yi would have rubbed his eyes to see if he was hallucinating.

He blinked hard, and no matter how many times he blinked, the body in front of him was still there, and it was becoming clearer and clearer.

Finally, Zhou Yi saw Cortana's profile…

A herd of *cao ni ma* galloped wildly through Zhou Yi's mind.

He never expected that this woman would be so bold, not even closing the door, just stripping naked in front of him!

No… wait, did she not know he was there?

Zhou Yi's mind was quite sharp, and he immediately reacted.

After all, he had been living with Cortana for a year, and in this mixed-gender situation, Cortana behaved quite normally, far less openly than Hanna. The most open she had ever been was probably in the bar when she主动 kissed Zhou Yi to win the bet for her brother…

So Zhou Yi knew that Cortana would never change her clothes with the door open if she knew he was in the room.

Then the only explanation was that Cortana didn't actually know he was there…

This was extremely embarrassing.

Seeing that the dazzling sun was about to break free from the shackles of darkness, Zhou Yi suddenly shouted, "Ah!"

This sudden roar startled Cortana, and her hand trembled. Then, she instinctively covered her chest with her bra.

That light disappeared again, and the room was plunged back into darkness…

Cortana, after reacting, turned around and saw Zhou Yi covering his eyes, rolling on the sofa and screaming, "Ah! My eyes! My eyes…"

By the time Cortana had put her clothes back on, Zhou Yi was still rolling around covering his eyes, until he rolled off the sofa and onto the floor with a thud.

"Ouch!" Zhou Yi clutched the back of his head, and the endless cycle of "My eyes" was finally interrupted…

Cortana, who had been leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed, finally asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"I'm blind!" Zhou Yi was still covering his eyes.

"Did you see something dirty?" Cortana sneered.

"No, it was too dazzling…" Zhou Yi was still covering his eyes. "I was blinded by the light!"

Cortana was stunned for a moment, not expecting Zhou Yi to give her such an answer.

She had been a little angry that Zhou Yi had peeped at her, but after hearing Zhou Yi's words, she suddenly didn't know how to be angry…

She could only complain about how well Zhou Yi had hidden himself: "What were you doing lying on the sofa? Someone came in, and you didn't even know?"

"Would you believe me if I said I was too tired from training, and I just collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep? I didn't even know you came in," Zhou Yi said, still covering his eyes.

Seeing his comical appearance, Cortana was amused and angry: "Take your hands away, I'm wearing clothes."

Hearing Cortana say this, Zhou Yi hesitated to let go of his hands, and then hesitantly opened his eyes. At the same time, there was an "animated effect" - when he opened his eyes and looked around, he said with a look of surprise, "Ah! My eyes! My eyes can see?! It's a miracle!"

Cortana saw that he was still acting, and this time she couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't ridicule Zhou Yi: "Stop pretending! With your acting skills, you shouldn't be playing football, you should be an actor, maybe you'll even have a chance to win an Oscar!"

Zhou Yi nodded seriously: "I can't help it, who told me I love football? Although I have a talent for acting, I can only reluctantly give it up. I think it's a great regret for movie fans all over the world…"

Cortana really wanted to punch Zhou Yi when she saw him sighing regretfully – he was too cheap! He took her sarcastic words and turned them into a compliment!

"Regret my ass!" she couldn't help but shout at Zhou Yi.

"Eh, won't the fans regret it?" Zhou Yi was still acting.

"No!" Cortana put her hands on her hips and looked down at Zhou Yi, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor.

"Okay…" Zhou Yi spread his hands and shrugged, making a helpless gesture. "Then I can concentrate on developing my football career."

Then he got up from the ground and said to Cortana, "I'm going to take a shower… No peeking!" He looked very wary.

Cortana yelled at him, "Who wants to see you!"

So Zhou Yi went back to his room and closed the door, as if he was really worried that Cortana would peep at him, while Cortana stood愣 in the living room for a while.

After Zhou Yi left, she realized that she had almost been seen naked by Zhou Yi…

In fact, Zhou Yi had the opportunity to see her, if he had stayed on the sofa without saying a word, Cortana wouldn't have noticed him at all. But he gave up such a chance to peep, in a style that was very much his own.

What style?

A crazy style.

Well, a crazy person did something gentlemanly, so he's a crazy gentleman.

Realizing that she was almost seen naked, although the most important parts weren't seen, Cortana still felt a little embarrassed and ashamed. After all, she was only wearing underwear in front of Zhou Yi, which was equivalent to being naked.

So this would have made Cortana embarrassed, but now she didn't feel that way.

Was it because of her strong mental fortitude?

Of course not.

It was because Zhou Yi's covering his eyes and shouting that he was blind and saying that he had a talent for acting was a "nonsensical mess," that she had no energy to care about being embarrassed or not. Now, when she had time to think about it, she realized that thanks to Zhou Yi, she didn't feel any shame or embarrassment at the most critical moment, and she behaved quite naturally in front of Zhou Yi.

That kid's nonsensical mess wasn't just because he was crazy…

But he's still a crazy person, hmph!

Cortana smiled and turned back to her room, her hair lifting and falling back onto her back as she turned cleanly.

※※※

Back in his own room, Zhou Yi closed the door and slapped himself in the face in frustration: "What do I need this face for at a critical moment!"

Then he sat down in a chair with a thud and sighed melancholy.

In the end, he didn't see anything. Why was he so impulsive at the time?

Alas, alas, alas.

A pure young man only has regrets, and can only be sadly despondent alone at this time.

But young people are always optimistic, and he quickly put it behind him, took his clothes, and went to take a shower while humming a song.

Cortana, who heard Zhou Yi humming a song in his room, wondered - since this kid didn't see anything, what was he so happy about?

Actually, there was nothing to be happy about, it's just that the young man was simple and had nothing to worry about.

The next day, Zhou Yi continued to go to the training base to receive his exclusive customized special training.

Klopp only came once on the first day of training, and then he didn't come again. As the head coach, he had too many things to do and couldn't stay here to accompany Zhou Yi all the time.

So the only ones who accompanied Zhou Yi were physical trainer Bartlett and strength trainer Wang Le.

The training content was basically half a day of physical training, half a day of strength training, and three training sessions a day. Except for the evenings when he didn't have to train, Zhou Yi had to train at all other times.

In such high-intensity training, Zhou Yi was as tired as a dog every day when he went home. That's why he fell asleep directly on the sofa yesterday. He wasn't waiting there specifically to see Cortana's body.

It was really just a coincidence.

Today, after finishing training, Zhou Yi returned home and collapsed directly on the sofa again.

But this time he didn't fall asleep. His mind was alert, but his body was tired and he didn't want to move.

He lay there for who knows how long, and when he heard the sound of the door lock and footsteps behind him, he raised his hand from behind the sofa back: "Hi, I'm here, can the friends downstairs see me?"

Cortana, who had returned from shopping with paper bags, was so frightened by this suddenly extended hand that she almost threw the paper bags in her hand.

After reacting, she said unhappily, "Crazy!"

"I'm just kindly reminding you, lest you…"

"I know how to close the door, thank you!" Cortana interrupted him, quickly walked back to her room with her things, and then, as expected, closed the door.

Zhou Yi turned his head slightly, changed his posture slightly, and continued to lie on the sofa…
