Chapter 142 Her Honor

The next morning, Zheng Lulu checked out of her hotel room in Dortmund, ready to return to Heidelberg and then travel with Catherine.

After checking out, she pulled her suitcase and walked out of the hotel, standing on the side of the road, the streets of Dortmund covered in white snow.

Her phone rang, and she took it out to see a message from Zhou Yi: "Thank you. It's my honor to have been liked by you. I hope you encounter even more beautiful scenery and people in your future life."

Looking down at the message, Zheng Lulu smiled.

She didn't reply to Zhou Yi, but put away her phone, then took a deep breath, the air cold, crisp, and refreshing. Then she pulled her suitcase and walked towards the bus stop, leaving a trail of solid footprints in the snow.

Zhou Yi turned off his phone and said to Yang Muge sitting next to him, "Lao Yang, how did you spend Christmas Eve yesterday?"

"How else could I have spent it? Just like that…"

"Sounds sad. Tsk, tsk, Christmas Eve for a single dog!" Zhou Yi winked.

Yang Muge retorted angrily, "You have the nerve to say me, you single dog!"

"Heh, did you see me show up in the group yesterday?" Zhou Yi smiled confidently.

Yang Muge was taken aback. There were two people who hadn't shown up in the group all night yesterday. One was Sun Pan, which wasn't surprising, but the other was Zhou Yi!

Could it be that this kid actually went out on a date?

But he quickly realized, "That's not right, weren't you going to the Mark's for dinner?"

"Tsk, didn't fool you!"

"I'm not stupid, Zhou Yi. Don't always think I'm easy to fool."

As he spoke, the plane vibrated, and an announcement came over the loudspeaker that the plane was being pushed back from its gate and was preparing for takeoff. Zhou Yi leaned back in his seat, raised his head slightly, and closed his eyes.

Finally going home.

After returning home, Zhou Yi posted a photo on Weibo of himself shrinking his neck, wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket and pajamas, sitting on the bed playing on his phone, with the caption: "It's still comfortable at home, I can do whatever I want. Happy New Year, everyone!"

His Weibo post immediately attracted everyone's attention, and it had nothing to do with his words, but mainly with the picture. The image of Zhou Yi in obviously loose pajamas in the picture was too different from the Zhou Yi image everyone was familiar with on TV. He wasn't handsome at all.

But this self-deprecating approach made netizens feel very fresh—when celebrities take selfies, they can't wait to use beauty filters ten times, and then carefully retouch them with Photoshop, and finally send them out, hoping to show everyone their most perfect side. But Zhou Yi did the opposite, exposing such an "unbearable" side of himself to public attention.

Some netizens quickly wailed below: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it! This is not the Zhou Yi I know!"

"Pfft, this pajamas, this flowery bed sheets... so down-to-earth!"

"I'm so honored to wear the same cotton jacket as the famous soccer star Zhou Yi!"

"I have the same bed sheets!"

"Then I can only have the same tissues..."

"Saw the tissues on the bedside table!"

"Find the highlights!"

"I went, there's a feeling of Tony Leo, an elite white-collar worker in the city, turning into Ergou Fugui in seconds when he returns to his hometown..."

"Little Yi, you're an idol! Don't be so self-destructive, okay! [Laugh cry]"

"Okay, this is very 'do whatever you want'!"

"233333333333"

"Red, red, fiery, dazed, and confused"

"Yesterday Sun Pan posted photos on Weibo of him enjoying the beach sun in the Maldives. It was so high-end and fashionable. Why is my Zhou Yi this style? You are also an internationally renowned soccer star, can you also go international!"

"Our Little Yi is just unconventional!"

"What to do, I think Zhou Yi is so cute..."

"I'm asking what the psychological shadow area of Little Yi's sponsors is at this moment, 2333333333333333"

……

In half a day, Zhou Yi's Weibo post had more than 60,000 reposts and 40,000 comments, quickly topping the list of trending Weibo topics. In addition to various complaints and funny comments, some people made various Photoshopped images of Zhou Yi's photo, putting his rustic appearance in a cotton-padded jacket into various scenes, with very "laughing" results.

Soon in the evening, some netizens discovered that a large number of "Zhou Yi's same cotton-padded jacket" products were being sold on Taobao, and some stores directly Photoshopped Zhou Yi's photo as a product display image.

The advertising copy read: "The love of China's number one soccer star Zhou Yi! He personally recommends it to you! Wearing it will not only bring you warmth, but also allow you to feel the style of an international soccer star! The most popular style and pattern this year!"

Moreover, this matter was not only developing domestically in China, but also crossed the Great Wall and flipped over the wall.

Some Chinese fans posted this photo on Twitter and Facebook, which quickly aroused heated discussion among foreign netizens.

However, the content of their heated discussions was somewhat different from that of Chinese fans. They all said that the clothes Zhou Yi was wearing looked good, and it looked very warm, and it must be very comfortable to wear... They also said that this was very Chinese and began to inquire about where to buy this dress.

The reactions of foreign netizens were naturally passed back to China, and everyone joked that would it be possible to get rich if they wholesale cotton-padded jackets and sell them abroad at this time?

There are also domestic netizens who can get over the wall, or people who are already outside the wall, who very enthusiastically posted Taobao addresses in the comments of foreign netizens...

In this way, a photo of Zhou Yi completely became a hot event on the Internet, becoming a network carnival in which everyone could participate.

And what was Zhou Yi doing at this time?

He was wearing the cotton-padded jacket that had become an Internet sensation, gnawing on ribs at home...

"Come on, eat another piece, eat more..." Mom put another rib into his bowl.

"Xiesie mama!" Zhou Yi's mouth was full of meat, and he couldn't speak clearly. He felt the strong maternal love.

"Anyway, this is the only meal you can eat as much as you want." But what Mom said next almost choked him. "From tomorrow on, you still have to strictly abide by the dietary rules of a professional player."

"Mom, can you not talk about this now..." Zhou Yi swallowed the meat and protested.

Dad next to him said, "Let's cook a braised pork knuckle tomorrow."

His wife nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Yi could only chew the meat on the ribs more carefully as he listened.

He knew that this was another bad trick from his father, so-called training his psychological quality, but it was actually a disguised boast!

Since his first vacation back home, this has been a fixed experience in his holidays.

In addition to the different treatment when eating, Zhou Yi cannot relax his physical training.

Although it is impossible to do too professional training during the holidays, it is still possible to maintain the physical condition through some daily exercises so that it does not deteriorate.

Zhou Yi only slept in one day during this vacation. At other times, his mother would force him to get up for morning exercises. In addition to going downstairs for a run, he was not allowed to take the elevator every day when he got home, but had to climb the stairs. But when they bought the house, it was on the highest floor in the community—the twenty-fifth floor!

Don't think that you don't have to climb the stairs just because you stay at home. Zhou Yi will be driven out by his mother, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. After dinner, he will accompany his parents downstairs for a walk. After the walk, his parents will take the elevator home with a swoosh, and only Zhou Yi has to climb his twenty-fifth floor stairs with a grunt.

These are all measures to ensure that Zhou Yi's figure will not be out of shape during the holidays.

But Zhou Yi was still very indignant and protested to his parents that other people walk their dogs after dinner, but they are good, they walk their son after dinner!

Of course, his protest was ineffective.

Who told them that the new house they bought was so high?

When his parents told him that they bought the highest floor when they bought the house, he was very happy and said that he could see far from a high place and the view was good, praising his parents for making a good choice.

How could he have imagined that behind his parents' choice was such a kind (yin) intention (mou) and (gui) effort (ji)?

Later, he realized that his parents chose such a high floor so that he could climb the stairs. He had to sigh "the hearts of parents all over the world"...

※※※

Although going home for vacation is very "bitter", Zhou Yi is still willing to come back.

Because this is his home, just like he said on Weibo, nothing is more 'do whatever you want' than being at home, and only at home can you truly relax physically and mentally.

A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.

It would be even more perfect if this doghouse was on the first floor... Zhou Yi thought while sticking out his tongue and climbing the stairs.
