Chapter 198 Love Affair

Every morning, some fans would wait outside the Brackel Training Base. If there was any recent news, a number of reporters would appear as well. The reporters hoped to interview the players and learn some information from them, while the fans simply wanted autographs and photos.

However, not every player would stop their car to be interviewed or fulfill the fans' requests. They would roar into the training base's gate and drive away.

As Borussia Dortmund's most popular player, Zhou Yi naturally had the most fans. Many fans came to him for autographs every day, and Zhou Yi was also the most approachable person in Borussia Dortmund's first team, almost always obliging.

This time was no exception. When a fan appeared on the side of the driveway, waving an autograph book at him, he slowed down.

Then he lowered the car window.

"Good morning, everyone," he said.

The fans who were craning their necks to ask Zhou Yi for autographs were stunned for a moment, because they saw a woman sitting in the passenger seat.

This had never happened in Zhou Yi's car before!

"Still want autographs?" Zhou Yi asked when he saw that everyone hadn't responded.

But not many people were focused on autographs anymore.

Zhou Yi simply signed a few autographs and drove into the training ground.

What he left outside was endless reverie and confusion—who exactly was the woman sitting in the passenger seat?

If that woman was Zhou Yi's girlfriend… they had never seen a player bring his girlfriend to training…

If that woman wasn't Zhou Yi's girlfriend, then wouldn't she be afraid of causing some scandal for Zhou Yi by sitting in his car in front of everyone?

"Ah!" Suddenly, a reporter in the crowd exclaimed in realization. "I know who that woman is!"

Everyone turned to look at him.

"Kotana Wagner! Borussia Dortmund's team doctor!"

"Team doctor? Why is the team doctor in Zhou Yi's car?"

"Could there be some special relationship between them?"

…

The reporters were the first to get excited. They felt they had caught a big story, a big story about Zhou Yi's private life…

You see, the media had never seen Zhou Yi alone with a woman before. He was always surrounded by teammates, agents, but never a woman.

Why would a team's doctor ride in Zhou Yi's car to training?

Someone couldn't wait to call the newspaper, TV station, and radio station: "Hey, hey, hey, I've discovered a big piece of news! Send more people from the company!"

After the day's training, Zhou Yi didn't go straight home as usual, but went to the physiotherapy room to have Kotana massage him. He was also waiting for Kotana to get off work so they could go home together.

Being able to enjoy Kotana's massage and relaxation after every training session was a privilege that only Zhou Yi enjoyed.

The other players now knew about Kotana and Zhou Yi's relationship, so naturally they wouldn't bother them at this time.

Speaking of which, other people dated in restaurants and shopping malls, but Zhou Yi and Kotana dated in the physiotherapy room, which was truly unique…

After the massage, it was time for Kotana to get off work. She packed up and went to the parking lot with Zhou Yi.

When Zhou Yi drove the car out of the training base, he saw that there were still many reporters gathered outside, and he knew what they were there for.

Seeing Zhou Yi's car appear, the reporters rushed out and pressed the camera shutter, clearly capturing Kotana in the passenger seat.

Zhou Yi and Kotana exchanged a look, and then Zhou Yi simply stopped the car and lowered the window. The reporters immediately surrounded them and threw their questions at Zhou Yi.

"Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, what is your relationship with Miss Kotana Wagner?"

After throwing out this question, the reporters were actually prepared to hear Zhou Yi make excuses.

But to their surprise, Zhou Yi didn't make any excuses, and said very frankly, "She and I are in a relationship."

It was a simple sentence, but it made the reporters feel like they had been struck by lightning…

They really didn't expect Zhou Yi to admit it so readily!

"So, can you let us go home now?"

The reporters didn't react in any other way, and no one asked any other questions. They just watched Zhou Yi drive away.

It wasn't until they could barely see the taillights of the car that everyone came back to their senses—we should have asked more questions, why did we let them go like that!

We still had so many questions we didn't ask!

For example, "How did you two get together?"

"How long has your relationship lasted?"

"Will your relationship affect the internal relations of the team? After all, Kotana is the team doctor, and it is quite rare for a team doctor to be in love with a player…"

…

As a result, none of these questions were asked, and Zhou Yi slipped away.

They could ask again tomorrow, but could the prime time programs of various TV stations tonight only say, "Zhou Yi has a girlfriend, and his girlfriend is Borussia Dortmund's team doctor"?

Of course not, that's not how you do a program.

※※※

Although Zhou Yi only said one sentence, admitting his relationship with Kotana, the media was best at "making a mountain out of a molehill." They made various guesses about Zhou Yi and Kotana's relationship based on Zhou Yi's sentence.

So Zhou Yi and Kotana's leisure activity in the evening was to sit in front of the TV and watch the TV, watching those experts and famous reporters confidently say that they had seen through everything long ago.

As he watched, Zhou Yi laughed.

Kotana turned to look at him. "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing…" Zhou Yi waved his hand. "Because 'they're all wrong about us'…"

Hearing Zhou Yi say that, Kotana also laughed.

When they trained the next day, Zhou Yi still appeared in front of everyone with Kotana. This time, it wouldn't be so easy for them to "escape" easily.

But Zhou Yi wasn't thinking about escaping either. This matter wasn't that big, but it wasn't that small either.

It wasn't that big because, to put it bluntly, it was just a personal emotional issue. How big could it be?

It wasn't that small because he had never revealed any signs of personal affection before. This time, he suddenly went from being a single dog to having a girlfriend, which would naturally attract everyone's attention.

This matter would actually pass in a few days, because it wasn't a very important part of the football world.

Everyone was just curious as to why Zhou Yi would choose to be with a team doctor. With Zhou Yi's fame and wealth, even if he wanted to find Miss Germany, it would probably be very easy. In his home country, China, there would definitely be countless celebrities willing to have a relationship with him.

So why did he choose an ordinary person, and still Borussia Dortmund's team doctor?

Zhou Yi answered this question with a smile: "We just clicked, it's that simple."

The reporters looked at each other, what kind of answer was that?

But when everyone thought about it again, they didn't think it was surprising.

Zhou Yi suffered a serious injury some time ago, and it is said that he has been receiving massage treatment in Borussia Dortmund's physiotherapy room. Kotana is also a physiotherapist, and they often spend time alone, and have "intimate contact", so isn't it normal for them to get closer and closer?

And looking at the heroine, she is also very good-looking, and the two of them together can be worthy of the phrase "a talented man and a beautiful woman".

"Have you been together for a long time?"

"No, we just confirmed our relationship." Zhou Yi shook his head. He and Kotana had been together for a long time, but at that time their identities were not "lovers".

"Can Kotana come down and accept our interview?"

"I'm afraid not, she's not someone who likes to show her face in front of the camera." Zhou Yi shook his head and declined.

Then he answered a few more questions from the reporters, and then left on the grounds that he was going to be late for training.

The reporters still felt very magical, never expecting that the highly anticipated superstar Zhou Yi would finally choose an ordinary woman to be his girlfriend…

Looking at other stars, many of their girlfriends are either supermodels, stars, or hosts and flight attendants. If Zhou Yi and Kotana were together before Zhou Yi became famous, it would be normal, but the problem is that Zhou Yi is obviously already famous, but he chose an ordinary girlfriend.

Zhou Yi's choice was really a bit unexpected.

But if you think about it carefully, it's quite in line with his character. Because outside the stadium, he is such a low-key person…

Zheng Lulu saw that her colleague and friend came to work with a very bad complexion.

"What's wrong, dear? Who offended you?" Zheng Lulu asked with concern.

The colleague put a newspaper in front of Zheng Lulu with a sad face.

Zheng Lulu glanced at it, and then was attracted by it, she took the newspaper.

The headline on the newspaper read "Love Affair Revealed! Zhou Yi Actually Holds Hands With Beautiful Team Doctor!"

Below was a photo of the two sitting in the car, with a beautiful woman with an outstanding temperament sitting in the passenger seat, presumably the "beautiful team doctor" mentioned by the media.

She understood why her colleague was so frustrated, because Zhou Yi was finally no longer a single dog…

She laughed: "What are you sad about when someone has a girlfriend?"

The colleague pouted and said, "Lulu, of course you can't understand the feelings of a loyal fan like me! Zhou Yi is my secret crush! I've had a crush on him for three whole years since I saw him play football three years ago! Now that he has a girlfriend, don't you think it's like I'm heartbroken?"

Zheng Lulu quickly reached out and touched her colleague's head: "Okay, okay, we'll go drinking after work, I'll accompany you to drown your sorrows with wine."

Hearing Zheng Lulu say that, the colleague's mood improved, and she hugged Zheng Lulu: "Lulu is still the best!"

Zheng Lulu smiled and patted her head.

What is a three-year crush?

I've had a crush for six years…
