When Zhou Yi went to the training base for training the next day, he was blocked by reporters in front of the training base gate.

These reporters who came to wait outside the training base early actually came to block him because they couldn't block other players. Only the only player in the team who didn't drive could get close to him, ask their questions before he walked into the training base gate, and hope to get his answer.

Today's problems are all related to Mark Wagner's injury, because everyone knows that Zhou Yi is Mark's good friend.

"I feel regret and sad about his injury, but I am not desperate." Zhou Yi said. "Will we wait for him, and wait for the day when he recovers from injury. Then I will hug him with a smile, tell him, welcome back."

After saying that, Zhou Yi nodded to the reporters with a smile, and then walked into the training base.

The reporters stared at his back blankly, and all recalled the meaning of his words in their hearts.

As Mark's best friend, he didn't seem very sad and spoke with hope.

But everyone can understand him. Mark's operation was very successful. Zhou Yi's smile must have been because he knew the news.

At this time, hope is more important than anything else.

※※※

After a day of training, Zhou Yi returned home again. He was the only one in the room. Hannah was away all year round. It was normal for Cortana to be away from Zhou Yi today. After all, her younger brother was injured so seriously, as a sister, she must be with her side.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Zhou Yi began to make dinner in the kitchen. Although his skills were still far inferior to Cortana, he would not pay much attention to eating alone, and he could fill his stomach.

But just as Zhou Yi put the flesh beside his mouth and was about to bite it, there was a sound of the door lock from the door, and then the door was pushed open.

Then Cortana appeared in front of him.

Zhou Yi kept feeding himself the action of eating meat, tilted his head and looked at Cortana in surprise.

"Is it so unpalatable? I can't even taste it?" Cortana asked as she looked at Zhou Yi.

"Nonsense!" Zhou Yi reacted when he heard this, bit the piece of meat on the fork into his mouth, and then started chewing it.

But after just chewing two bites, he spat and spit out all of them: "Damn, I forgot to put salt!"

Cortana walked up, picked up Zhou Yi's plate, then took it straight to the kitchen, sweeping everything inside into the trash can.

"Hey, what are you doing..." Zhou Yi finally realized.

"I'll do it for you," Cortana said.

So Zhou Yi stopped talking, but he liked to eat food made by Cortana.

It didn't take long for a plate of fragrant fried pork chops to be served on the dining table.

Zhou Yi took a bite and it was tender and juicy...

"Is it much better than the garbage you make?" Cortana asked.

"Well, salt is added this time!"

Cortana curled her lips.

After swallowing the meat piece, Zhou Yi did not continue to eat it, but put down the knife and fork, looked up at Cortana: "Why are you back? Mark is discharged from the hospital?"

Cortana nodded and said, "I'm back packing up and moving home tomorrow."

"Can't stay?" Zhou Yi was not surprised. Since Cortana was a top student in sports medicine, of course she had to take care of him by her side.

"Don't hit my room," Cortana said. "I just can't stop for the time being."

"Come back in ten months?"

"Maybe it won't take ten months."

"That's good."

The topic ends here, Zhou Yi lowered his head and ate meat.

Then he heard Cortana get up. Because Cortana went to his room to pack up his things, he didn't expect that with a thud, he raised his head and found that Cortana put a bottle of red wine in front of him.

Meanwhile, Cortana shook the two cups in her hand: "Go to me for a drink."

She did not use a questioning tone, but said it was not something that Zhou Yi refused.

Although Zhou Yi was a little surprised, he did not refuse: "Okay."

Cortana put down the two cups, then started the wine, poured them directly into the cup, without paying attention to sobering up.

Then she drank it all in one go.

Zhou Yi was stunned and didn't expect that he would like to toast...

Cortana, who was respectful first, looked at Zhou Yi with an empty cup. Under her eyes, Zhou Yi had to pick up the cup and drink it all. Then he wiped his mouth: "I'll drink one..."

"Another drink." Cortana interrupted him.

"..." Zhou Yi looked at Cortana, his eyes turned, as if he had figured out something, so he nodded, "Okay, drink with you!"

So he drank it all in one cup at a time, and Cortana didn't say anything in the middle and just drank like that.

Zhou Yi didn't even have time to eat a bite of meat, and he was drinking it with Cortana.

Soon, the bottle of dry red wine was poured out.

After the last drop of wine was poured into the glass, Cortana did not drink it all up, but did not drink it at all.

She picked up the wine glass, but did not drink it. She just squinted her eyes and looked at the red wine swaying in the glass. Through the glass, she saw Zhou Yi on the opposite side. Because of the curved wall of the cup, Zhou Yi's face was twisted and deformed, and it looked very funny.

Cortana smiled, then suddenly asked, "Do you think I'm incompetent?"

Zhou Yi was very surprised: "Why did you say that suddenly?"

"Because I studied sports medicine, I still hurt Mark..."

Zhou Yi raised his hand: "I haven't thought about it that way. And if you want Mark to avoid injury, how is it useful to study sports medicine? You have to study theology and pray to God every day."

Cortana heard the joke in Zhou Yi's words, so she smiled: "Aren't you always curious that I hate athletes so much, why do you still need to learn sports medicine?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "It's quite strange. I even doubt whether you are masochistic."

"You are M!" Cortana gave Zhou Yi a blank look, then put down the wine glass, lowered her head and said. "Do you know why Mark plays football?"

"Why?"

"Mark has been weak in constitution and is prone to illness since he was a child. He was in the goal of exercising, so he started playing football."

Zhou Yi thought about the physical data when he first saw Mark, and he was indeed not a strong person, so he was crushed by Schneider at that time and had no day to turn over.

So he believed that Maka was not in good health during her youth.

"At that time, Mark's body seemed thin compared to his peers. He was often attacked by opponents on the court. They thought he was a soft persimmon that was easy to bully and could be kneaded at will. So Mark was often injured at that time..."

Cortana told the story. In her narrative without any ups and downs, Zhou Yi seemed to be able to imagine what the situation of the young Mark was.

"I advised Mark not to take football too seriously, but he has already regarded it as his dream to become a professional player. It seems that he had forgotten that he played football only because he wanted to exercise. So I thought, if my brother insisted on playing professional football, at least I would have to make him suffer less damage in the future... So when I was in college, I chose sports medicine."

Zhou Yi was stunned when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Cortana chose sports medicine for this...

This is really a real sister, a deep love for her!

"I want to protect my brother, I want to stay away from injuries, I want him to fulfill his dream... but I still couldn't stop him from getting hurt..."

"I said that you are just a team doctor, not a god, how could you stop him from getting injured? Don't worry, Mark will get better, come back, and play football the same as before." Seeing that Cortana was so moved, Zhou Yi almost reached over and patted Cortana on the back, but in the end he didn't dare to do this, just comforted her with verbal relief.

"A lie." But Cortana seemed to be unhappy and glanced at Zhou Yi. "After the anterior cruciate ligament rupture, no matter how it recovers, it is impossible to achieve exactly the same as before the injury."

"I'm just a metaphor for the modification method. Don't care too much... Of course, the way of playing football will be different from before the injury, but there is always a way. No one stipulates that football can only be played like that. Maybe Mark needs to change his style of playing football after his comeback, which is not a big problem. Mark himself is not the kind of player who relies on his body, so he should be able to adapt to the new style soon."

Zhou Yi said to Cortana.

In sports medicine, Cortana knows much more than Zhou Yi. But in football, Zhou Yi must know much more than Cortana. Even if Zhou Yi says this, Cortana can't refute it.

So she said, "Let's trust you now."

"Hey! What do you mean to believe me? I'm sure Mark will definitely be reborn after returning from injury and appear in front of the world in a new posture!" Zhou Yi was very confident in his friends.

"Thank you for your good words." Cortana smiled sweetly at Zhou Yi, and then drank the last wine left in the glass.

Then she supported her body with both hands, stood up from the chair, turned around and walked towards her bedroom.

"Goodbye, Chinese boy. I will not see you for a few months, but don't be self-indulgent, I won't miss you."

After saying that, she waved her hand and walked into her bedroom without looking back.

Zhou Yi turned his head and looked at the closed bedroom door and frowned.
