Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 204 You Are Not A Fool

"Staying at your house tonight?"

Han Zhou paused, turned around and looked at Ouyang Lianyu, as if doubting his own ears, and said in surprise, "Teacher, are you serious?"

"Ah."

Although hesitant, Ouyang Lianyu nodded slightly.

It was actually embarrassing for her to actively invite members of the opposite sex to spend the night at her home, but she had just made a promise before. Although it was more of a joke, since Han Zhou was really homeless, Then she couldn't just use jokes to get over it.

She had said time and again that she was not a liar like the other person, so there was no reason to go back on her words now.

Moreover, it could be said that Han Zhou was delayed so late entirely because of her. The other party had never repaid the kindness of saving her before. Now that the other party had nowhere to go, she had to provide some help out of reason and emotion.

Thinking of this, she added: "It's too late now. You don't feel safe leaving the teacher alone."

"No need, there are plenty of places to live, so I won't bother the teacher. Of course, I won't live in the bridge cave." Han Zhou waved his hand and smiled.

Of course he could see that Ouyang Lianyu was actually very embarrassed. The idea of ​​letting him stay overnight was probably the limit, and he couldn't agree without knowing it.

"stop."

Seeing him turning around to leave, Ouyang Lianyu immediately stopped him with a straight face, and her tone became more serious, "Do you find it troublesome when you send the teacher back?"

Han Zhou was stunned and said: "No."

"Then why do you think it would be troublesome for me to stay at my house for one night?"

"Well, that's not what I meant, but after all, there are differences between men and women..."

"I am your elder, I don't mind, what should you mind?"

Han Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "You can't live in the same room even if you don't mind..."

"Who told you that my house only has one room?"

Ouyang Lianyu rolled her eyes at him angrily, turned on the light and pushed the wheelchair into the room, "Come in, if you are free tomorrow morning, I will accompany the teacher to the police station. The teacher has never been to the police station in his life."

It's like I've been there...

"Then I'm disturbing the teacher."

Han Zhou smiled bitterly in his heart. Now that the words had come to this, he naturally couldn't refuse anymore, so he put away his phone and followed Ouyang Lianyu into the house, closing the door smoothly.

The moment he heard the door close, Ouyang Lianyu, who was walking in front, trembled in his heart. Only then did he realize what he had just done.

No matter what the reason was, she actually plucked up the courage to invite a member of the opposite sex to stay at her home, and this member of the opposite sex was not a child, but a full-blooded young man.

How bold...

Her cheeks were slightly hot. She was not worried about what Han Zhou would do, but she would inevitably have some strange emotions in her heart. She was even worried that the student would think she was inappropriate.

She actually agreed with Han Zhou's previous statement that the two of them had a good relationship. If it were any other student, she would not invite him to spend the night at home under any circumstances.

"Mr. Ouyang."

While she was thinking wildly, Ouyang Lianyu suddenly heard a voice behind her. She was startled, she quickly put away her thoughts and asked in a calm tone: "What's wrong?"

"These should be men's slippers, right?"

Han Zhou looked down at the several pairs of slippers placed in the entrance hall. One pair was much larger than the others. It was obviously for men. He felt frightened and guilty - if Teacher Ouyang had a boyfriend, wouldn't he be in a very bad situation now? Not good?
Thinking of this, his hand quietly touched the door handle behind him.

Ouyang Lianyu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Han Zhou's nervous expression and sneaky movements. He couldn't help but laugh and cry: "What are you doing?"

Han Zhou forced a smile: "It's nothing, I just want to go to an Internet cafe suddenly..."

"If you want to play games, teacher, we also have computers here."

How could Ouyang Lianyu not see his concerns? She raised her forehead and said, "Don't think too much. I bought these slippers specially to protect myself. Sometimes I put them outside the door to deter people with bad intentions."

Han Zhou suddenly realized that he knew this. Most of the vulnerable groups in today's society are women living alone. After all, women are relatively weak and are more likely to be regarded as criminal targets. In order to protect themselves, many women living alone will put a pair of men outside their door. Slippers imply that there is a man in the family, thereby deterring criminals.

"I see."

He then felt relieved, removed his hand from the door handle, lowered his head and re-examined the pair of large slippers, and joked, "Such a big foot must be very intimidating, right?"

Ouyang Lianyu was a little embarrassed. She had indeed chosen an extra-large shoe size. She said helplessly, "Although it's a bit too big, you can still wear it."

"I wear?"

"I only have this pair of men's slippers at home, so you can only wear these." She chuckled, "Of course, it's not impossible if you want to walk barefoot, but you also know that I can't clean the room during this time, so I have to Be prepared to get your feet dirty.”

"Okay...thank you teacher."

Han Zhou had no choice but to compromise and decided to wear these slippers suitable for Bigfoot.

He followed Ouyang Lianyu into the living room, put his bag on the sofa, and seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked, "By the way, Teacher Ouyang, I have a question that concerns me."

Ouyang Lianyu's heart tightened, and she subconsciously thought that the other party wanted to ask her questions about whether there was a man in her family, but she soon realized that she was overthinking it.

Han Zhou touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face: "If you leave your slippers outside at night, is it possible that the slippers will be stolen?"

Ouyang Lianyu: "..."

"Slippers are not valuables. How could anyone steal them?" After a moment of silence, she said helplessly, "What on earth are you thinking about this day?"

"Not always."

Han Zhou shook his head. Silk stockings and underwear are not valuable items. Don't some people like to steal them?

Of course, relatively speaking, the probability of Bigfoot slippers being stolen is much lower than the probability of underwear being stolen.

He looked at the things in the living room and asked, "Teacher Ouyang, you must live alone, right?"

"Yes." Ouyang Lianyu became nervous again, "Is there any problem?"

"Does one person need to rent such a big house?" Han Zhou looked confused.

Ouyang Lianyu breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "I originally planned to live here temporarily for a while, so I found two girls to share a short-term apartment. These two girls are from the same company, and they moved out together some time ago because of work needs. , so I’m the only one left.”

"That's really good. One person occupies such a big house." Han Zhou nodded enviously, took out a water glass from his bag and took a sip of water.

"The water dispenser is over there, and the paper cups are in the cabinet below."

Ouyang Lianyu first pointed to the water dispenser next to the wall, then chuckled and said, "I still prefer to be more lively, but after all, the rent has been paid, and I don't usually live here regularly, so I will stay here until the lease expires." Leave when it’s over.”

As if she suddenly remembered something, she continued, "If you want to move, I can't help you much here, but if you want to find a place to live near the school, the teacher can help you."

"Okay, thank you, teacher." Han Zhou smiled.

"The other room contains the things that the two girls who moved out haven't finished moving, so you can stay in this room tonight."

Ouyang Lianyu pushed the wheelchair to the door of a room, opened the door, and turned on the light. The room was unusually clean. Apart from a floor-to-ceiling mirror, there was only an empty bed frame and mattress.

"There are plenty of beddings in my room, but the teacher has difficulty moving now, so I have to ask you to make the bed yourself." She continued. "good."

"The toilet is over here, and everything on the sink can be used, but there aren't many towels and toothbrushes..."

"It doesn't matter, I have these things with me."

Han Zhou pointed to the backpack on the sofa.

"That would be great."

Ouyang Lianyu smiled and introduced roughly everything in the room that Han Zhou might use, and then said, "That's about it. If you have any questions, just come to me, but you must remember to knock on the door." .”

At this point, her expression became a little serious, as if she was afraid that this student who had no respect for her would forget this.

Han Zhou was very hurt and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Of course I still know about this kind of thing."

"It's good to know."

Ouyang Lianyu returned to the room and found the bedding from the cabinet. This should be her own replacement. It had been washed carefully and had the fragrance of laundry detergent. Han Zhou spread it in the room with a subtle mood. , in addition to the guzheng, this was the second time he stayed in the home of the opposite sex.

Ouyang Lianyu quietly watched him make the bed at the door, and suddenly asked: "By the way, do you want to eat anything tomorrow morning?"

Han Zhou was a little surprised and looked flattered: "Teacher, are you planning to make breakfast for me?"

"Of course, you are a guest now." Ouyang Lianyu was amused by his expression, "But I don't have many ingredients here, so I might not be able to make a decent breakfast."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can eat it." Han Zhou didn't care.

Ouyang Lianyu pinched her eyebrows, feeling offended, because she read the meaning in the other person's tone that "you must not be good at cooking".

Her feeling was correct. At this moment, Han Zhou's mind did subconsciously conjure up a terrible scene of Ouyang Lianyu hurriedly frying vegetables and putting sugar into the pot as salt.

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to say: "But Teacher Ouyang, you are inconvenient to move now, why don't I prepare breakfast, and it will be considered as tonight's rent."

He assured that this was out of concern for the wounded and that he had absolutely no intention of doubting the other party's cooking skills.

"Can you?"

After the words fell, Ouyang Lianyu also subconsciously doubted Han Zhou's cooking skills.

Han Zhou felt that he had been provoked.

His cooking skills have been certified by the status bar, and he has even developed the skill of "good at cooking". Now someone actually asked him if he could do it?

"I will show you my skills tomorrow morning, teacher." He put his hands behind his back, looking inscrutable, "Just wait and see."

As long as he has the ingredients, he can make a delicious breakfast.

Ouyang Lianyu couldn't help laughing, but did not give in: "Then I'll trouble you."

……

Silent all night.

Nothing happened that night. There was no scene where Ouyang Lianyu accidentally fell and needed Han Zhou to help her. There was no awkward encounter between the two of them when they went to the toilet in the middle of the night. There was no vague sight of underwear hanging somewhere. A cliche plot.

Everything is calm.

Ouyang Lianyu has been in a wheelchair for so long, so she naturally has enough experience in taking care of herself, so that accidents will not occur frequently for multiple people in the family.

At 07:30 in the morning, Han Zhou got up on time. He first went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went to the refrigerator to prepare to show off his talents.

He moved very gently so as not to disturb Ouyang Lianyu who might still be sleeping in the room.

This teacher is a busy man. He was still busy on the computer while drinking coffee in the middle of the night last night. He probably hasn't woken up yet.

The moment he opened the refrigerator, Han Zhou was stunned.

Although he prides himself on his superb cooking skills, as the saying goes, a good woman cannot cook without rice. He rummaged through the refrigerator and had to accept the cruel fact - except for two eggs, there was no other food in the refrigerator. There's not even any leftovers, so why don't we each have to eat a boiled egg this morning?

The nutrition was barely enough, but it obviously couldn't fill my stomach.

Out of reluctance, he searched around and finally found a tomato in the kitchen cabinet. The date on the label was from the day before yesterday and it didn't look bad.

Although he didn't know why this tomato appeared here, he finally avoided the embarrassing fate of having to eat only boiled eggs this morning. Han Zhou searched carefully again, and after confirming that there was no more harvest, he decided to make tomato and egg soup.

Of course you can make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but one tomato and two eggs are really not enough. He washed the rice first and put it in the rice cooker, then went to the kitchen to make soup.

"This thing alone can't show off my cooking skills. Teacher Ouyang must be afraid that I will hide the ingredients..."

Thinking about what he had and what not, just as the soup was about to boil, Han Zhou suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the house.

At first he thought it was an illusion, so he walked out of the kitchen and listened carefully for two seconds, and found that someone was knocking on the door. He couldn't help but feel confused. Would someone come to see Teacher Ouyang so early in the morning?
Just as he was hesitating whether to open the door, he suddenly heard the sound of the key being inserted into the door lock again. He was suddenly startled and walked quickly towards the entrance.

"Sister Lianyu didn't come back here during the holiday..."

Zhang Xinyue had a fried dough stick in her mouth and the soy milk in the bag hanging on her wrist. Seeing that she knocked on the door several times but got no response, she had to mutter and take out the key from her bag to open the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she saw someone standing at the door. A man with an expressionless face.

man?

She was so frightened that she opened her mouth wide, and the fried dough sticks in her mouth immediately fell to the ground. She lowered her head and glanced distressedly, then quickly took two steps back and said warily: "Who are you? Why are you at my house?"

She looked at the other person, and after a closer look she realized that the boy was young, probably at school age, and he was very handsome.

Han Zhou also looked at the strange woman in front of him, and after two seconds he asked, "Are you Teacher Ouyang's roommate?"

"How do you know?" The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked shocked, "Wait... Teacher Ouyang? Are you Sister Lianyu's student?!"

Sure enough... Han Zhou knew it in his heart, so he just said, no thief would be bold enough to come and break the door so early in the morning. The woman in front of him was indeed one of the two roommates he shared with Teacher Ouyang.

Thinking of this, he smiled kindly and said, "Yes, my name is Han Zhou, and I am a student of Teacher Ouyang."

He looks so handsome when he smiles...

Zhang Xinyue almost became a nymphomaniac, but she quickly reacted and said cautiously: "No, this is not a school. Even if you are a student of Sister Lianyu, why are you here?"

She noticed a detail. This young man was wearing a pair of unusually wide slippers, and his hair was a bit messy. A normal person would definitely not wear slippers when he came to visit...unless he stayed here for the night.

Sister Lianyu has not appeared until now. Only this guy came to open the door wearing slippers. If all of this is connected, it can only explain one possibility...

"I see……"

She looked at Han Zhou with burning eyes and a sneer on her lips. If she were wearing glasses, her lenses would definitely emit an extremely dazzling light.

"Are you actually a thief who sneaked in to stay while no one was in the house?"

The air was quiet for two seconds.

The smile on Han Zhou's face froze.

Are you afraid that you are not a fool?
