Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 234 New event task
"I have something for you."

After eating the bread and taking a sip of hot water, Ouyang Lianyu finally got down to business.

This is not a good opening... Hearing this, Han Zhou, who had just leaned back in his chair, straightened his expression, immediately stood up and said, "Teacher Ouyang, I just said that I am not good at computers at all, how about you... …”

"Don't be so nervous. It has nothing to do with whether you are good at computers or not."

Ouyang Lianyu glanced at him helplessly, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water. In the process, he accidentally touched the ballpoint pen on the table. The ballpoint pen fell to the ground and made a "pop" sound.

Han Zhou consciously helped to pick up the pen, and threw the bread bag that the other party had just lost into the trash can. He said with a serious expression: "If it is manual labor, then I am willing to contribute, but I definitely can't take the lead. , look at my thin arms and legs..."

"It's not physical labor either." Ouyang Lianyu found it funny, raised her forehead and said, "Can you think of something better?"

Han Zhou thought for a moment and wondered, "Is he going to appoint me as a cadre on duty?"

"How is that possible? You have a beautiful idea." Ouyang Lianyu couldn't laugh or cry. "I gave you a chance before, but you were unwilling. Now it's not that easy even if you want to be a cadre on duty."

"Then what are you looking for me for?"

Han Zhou really couldn't guess it, but he was always wary. Normal things could be discussed on Fetion or on the phone. Since Ouyang Lianyu specially called him to the office, it meant that this matter was not simple.

It was rare to see this guy looking nervous. Ouyang Lianyu deliberately let it slip, with a gentle smile on his face: "You must have heard that your class is organizing a party, right?"

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about the specific situation..." Han Zhou said confused, "Teacher Ouyang, are you planning to let me be responsible for organizing this matter?"

Ouyang Lianyu did not answer and continued to ask: "The friendship in the university is a very interesting activity. How about it? Do you have any intention to participate?"

"No."

Han Zhou vaguely guessed what the other party meant and said sternly, "Teacher, you know that I have always been obsessed with studying and have no interest in things other than studying. Friendship will only delay my study."

"I see, students who love studying so much are rare these days."

Ouyang Lianyu nodded approvingly, but did not expose his lies, "It just so happens that my class is currently missing a class representative. I have always felt that I should find a student who loves to learn..."

"The teacher is wise, but it's a pity that I haven't loved studying so much since I went to college. Unlike my roommate Chen Long, who is never lazy."

Han Zhou looked ashamed, "As for the social gathering, it's not that I don't want to participate, but that I have been afraid of society since I was a child and dare not participate in large-scale group activities."

"Afraid of society?" Ouyang Lianyu laughed angrily, "When did you become afraid of society?"

She would never forget the guy's ridicule to her when they first met. Seeing that he was talking about falsehoods, she sighed helplessly, "Didn't you just promise that night that you wouldn't cheat on the teacher casually?"

"It's not a lie, I mean..."

"Forget it, let's just be afraid of society."

Ouyang Lianyu interrupted Han Zhou, adjusted his glasses, and said seriously, "But university is a place to cultivate comprehensive qualities. I personally think that social interaction is more important than study in many cases. Since you are afraid of social problems, you should exercise more. .”

Han Zhou's expression froze. He was originally using an excuse to evade, but he didn't expect that he shot himself in the foot.

He opened his mouth, but Ouyang Lianyu didn't give him a chance to speak. He said in a decisive tone: "So you must participate in this party. This is what I want to tell you. You don't need to do anything else." Don’t worry, just be there on time.”

it is as expected……

Han Zhou felt a headache. He hesitated for a while and asked, "You just need to participate...do you mean you just have to go through the motions?"

If that's all, then it's not that he can't accept it.

"What does it mean to go through the motions?"

Ouyang Lianyu glanced at the student helplessly and said earnestly, "Friendship is a rare opportunity to make new friends. You'd better be more serious. Friends in school are easy to find. When you go out into society in the future, you will have to find them again." It’s not easy to be a close friend.”

"Okay... I understand. Although I am afraid of society, I am willing to follow the teacher's arrangements."

Han Zhou could see that Ouyang Lianyu was sincerely thinking about him, and his attitude became more serious, no longer as perfunctory as before. He first expressed his attitude, and then asked the most confusing question in his heart.

"But Teacher Ouyang, it's just a social gathering. I'm probably not the only one in the class who doesn't want to participate. Why do you have to name me and let me go?"

He always feels that the other party is targeting him.

Ouyang Lianyu seemed to have known that he would ask this question for a long time, and smiled: "You probably haven't read your class's group messages recently, right?"

"I didn't pay much attention, what's wrong?"

Han Zhou looked confused. Recently, the class group was basically discussing friendship matters, and the atmosphere was quite heated. He was not interested in this matter, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"This party was organized by Tang Wenshuang, the current monitor of your class. What do you think she used to attract other classmates to join the party?" Ouyang Lianyu gave a rather mysterious hint.

What other premise could it be? Isn't it just a "blind date" between college students?

Han Zhou murmured in his heart and asked tentatively: "'Rabbits don't eat the grass beside their nests', 'The fat water doesn't flow to outsiders' fields'?"

These were the two sentences he heard the most in the dormitory these two days.

"What a mess..."

Ouyang Lianyu was stunned for two seconds, then shook his head, "Forget it, you can ask Tang Wenshuang for the specific details. I heard that she asked for your opinion... Anyway, although I only found out about this matter after the fact, I I’ve agreed, don’t forget to attend when the time comes.”

Have you asked for my opinion?
Han Zhou was confused, but since Teacher Ouyang said it all, he couldn't say that he was not happy anymore, and said: "Then I will ask later. When is the date of the reunion, it shouldn't be Will it delay my time to ask for leave?"

"Don't think so much, it won't delay." Ouyang Lianyu rolled his eyes at him charmingly, thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the 22nd of this month."

"On the 22nd... I understand, is there anything else?"

"If you are willing to help the teacher share the worries, things will still happen."

"goodbye teacher."

Han Zhou fled the office as if fleeing, leaving behind Ouyang Lianyu who shook his head and smiled.

He took his time and as soon as he reached the elevator door, he saw Gu Zheng with a glum look on his face.

"Guzheng? Why are you here?"

"Han Zhou?"

Seeing Han Zhou, Gu Zheng's depressed expression finally looked better and asked, "I still want to ask you, why are you here?"

Han Zhou sighed: "Teacher Ouyang asked me to come."

"Why did she ask you to come here? What bad things did you do?" Gu Zheng looked at him suspiciously.

Han Zhou was very happy: "I've just returned to school for a few days, how can I have time to do bad things? Can you think of the best for me?"

The elevator door opened and the two of them walked into the elevator together. He looked at the girl's expression and guessed, "You must have been called here by the counselor, too. Could it be that you hit someone randomly in the class?"

"You're the one who hit me!" Gu Zheng punched him unhappily, "You said you wanted to think of the best, but you thought of me so badly."

Han Zhou let the weak fist hit him and said with a smile: "Why, you are in a bad mood?" "It's not that bad..." Gu Zheng curled his lips and said dissatisfied, "The counselor just asked me to go to the office. It’s going to be very troublesome for me to go to some social gathering.”

Han Zhou was stunned: "Did he tell you the reason?"

"Yes, they said they wanted me to contribute to the class. There are many people who plan to come to the party just because of me."

That's what happened...

Han Zhou recalled the scene when Chen Zheng and Chen Long excitedly surrounded him when he first returned to school. He had a guess in his mind, and then he frowned: "Since you are going to be used as a front, you should ask for permission in advance for such things. What do you think, your counselor actually forced you to go?"

"Actually, I asked for it..."

Gu Zheng turned her head guiltily, "The squad leader did tell me about this a while ago... but she said it more tactfully. I felt a bit verbose at the time and agreed without paying much attention."

Han Zhou was stunned, and suddenly remembered that Tang Wenshuang had sent him a message to ask about something before climbing the snow mountain with Noila Mo. They were about to climb the mountain at that time, and he agreed without much careful consideration.

What's this about co-authorship?
As for the coercion of the two counselors, it seems that it was not actually to make the two of them contribute to the class, but because Ouyang Lianyu knew that both of them needed to participate in the party, so she specially made it happen, for fear that one of them would not participate...

Teacher Ouyang, do you want to be a moon elder?

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Han Zhou's troubled and complicated expression, Gu Zheng immediately cast a concerned look, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"It was not good at first." Han Zhou sighed, then smiled, "But it's much better now."

"why?"

"I am the same as you. I was ordered by Teacher Ouyang to participate in this party. I was originally reluctant to do so, but now that I know that you will also participate, I have nothing to worry about."

Guzheng was taken aback.

Not only because he learned that Han Zhou was also forced to participate in the party, but also because of what the other party just said.

"You...you mean...are you happy just to have me here?"

She looked away and asked sheepishly.

"Of course." Han Zhou smiled.

Gu Zheng's cheeks felt a little hot, and then she realized that the moment she heard that Han Zhou was going to join the party, her originally bad mood had unknowingly turned brighter.

She finally regained her composure, raised her eyes and was about to say something when she heard Han Zhou say happily: "After all, I am not the only unlucky one with you, a fellow sufferer, accompanying me."

After saying that, he laughed.

Gu Zheng's expression darkened, and she punched him with gritted teeth.

"Who are you and your brothers?"

……

As the college entrance examination approaches, senior high school students spend the whole day busy, including evening self-study.

In order to get a good result in the college entrance examination, both teachers and students are racing against time, wishing to break one minute into two minutes.

There are one small test in three days and one big test in five days. In addition to the weekly test that is held every week, teachers of various subjects often organize in-class tests, daytime tests, and evening self-study to explain the test papers.

This was the case for Class [-] of Senior High School at this time. The head teacher was using a projector to announce the answers to the day's exam.

In order to improve efficiency, teachers for small tests like this usually don't spend time grading test papers. They basically announce the answers after the test, and classmates exchange corrections.

"Noila Mo, you are so awesome. You got all the multiple-choice questions right."

Looking at the test paper with beautiful handwriting in front of her, Zhang Meng couldn't help but praise it in a low voice, her eyes full of envy.

It would be great if she could do so well in the exam one day.

"You've made progress too."

A cold voice sounded beside me, with a calm tone, "I made one fewer multiple-choice question mistakes than last time."

Looking at the girl next to him who was wearing a mask and a peaked cap but still couldn't hide her charm, Zhang Meng smiled bitterly and said: "What kind of progress is this? Two of them are right. In fact, it's not as good as last time..."

"Examinations are determined by scores. As far as results are concerned, luck is also a part of strength."

Noila Mo finished correcting the test paper without raising her head, then turned to look out the window.

The clouds are thick tonight and the moon cannot be seen.

"That's true, but I still want to understand what I don't understand..."

"You can ask me if you don't understand."

"Thank you."

A smile appeared on Zhang Meng's face.

Since coming back from vacation, Noila Mo has become surprisingly easy to talk to. Not only is she willing to teach her how to do questions, but sometimes she will also discuss some strange questions with her. Although she can't answer them, since she can discuss these things, she should Does this mean that Noila Mo regards her as a friend?
While I was thinking about it, I heard the head teacher on the stage suddenly say: "Everyone is answering my questions while listening to what I have to say."

"In order to stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning, the school is planning to organize a university campus visit in the near future, scheduled for Sunday next week, which is October 22."

He raised his hand to stop the agitated people in the audience, and continued, "However, due to limited time, we cannot choose universities too far away for this visit. We can only visit nearby universities. Currently, the school has selected five universities, including the University of Finance and Economics, An University, Bai Normal University, Ming University and Lin University."

Zhang Meng noticed that when she heard the last sentence, Noila Mo, who was looking out the window with little interest, suddenly turned her head.

The head teacher continued: "Of course, although the school believes that after the last period of hard work, everyone will eventually have the opportunity to be admitted to a top university like Linda, but for now it is better to set a goal that is in line with one's own ability. Therefore, this time each school The number of places to visit the university is determined based on this month’s monthly exam rankings. The higher the ranking, the better the school you can visit.”

It's not that the school insists on putting grades first in this kind of thing, but there are thousands of people in the entire senior year of high school, and it's impossible to cram all of them into one university for a visit.

The time in the senior year of high school is already tight, and it is a blessing for the school to organize such an event. It is impossible to slow down the overall review progress of the grade by visiting in batches at different times, so I choose to use ranking to decide the schools to visit. It can also be regarded as letting students feel the competitive atmosphere of the college entrance examination in advance, so as to stimulate everyone's learning fighting spirit.

Perhaps because he was worried that some students would feel anxious, the class teacher comforted him: "I need to emphasize here that both the monthly test results and the universities you are about to visit are only temporary, and it does not mean that this is the limit of your students' results. After the college entrance examination, students still have enough time to make progress. In short, the purpose of this event is to let everyone experience the university atmosphere in advance and relax at the same time. Don’t be anxious about it, do you understand?”

"understand!"

The classmates in the class shouted in unison, and their tone was quite excited. For the senior high school students who have been under huge pressure for a long time, it is good to have one day to relax, and they do not have too many worries.

The class teacher smiled: "In addition, it is not compulsory to participate in this event. The round-trip fare will be borne by the school. Please remember to discuss this with your parents this weekend. The monitor will give me a list. Okay, that's it. Everyone, please be quiet. If there are no questions, I will start talking about the test paper."

"Teacher, I have a problem."

At this moment, a hand was raised high.

The classroom suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes focused on the girl wearing a mask and a peaked cap by the window.

"How many students do you need to pass the exam if you want to visit Linda?"
