Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 242 Because a pigeon flew away

"I said, Senior Sister Wang Lengqiu."

"Call me Qiuqiu, or Qiuqiu."

Han Zhou originally wanted to ask about something else, but he sighed after hearing this: "Why do you have to let me call you that?"

He has been holding this question in his mind for a long time.

"I heard that a term of endearment can bring two people closer together."

"But the relationship between us obviously hasn't reached the level where we can be called affectionately."

"That's why we need to use affectionate terms to close the relationship."

"Your logic is really impeccable..."

"Have it?"

"Have."

"Thank you."

"……You're welcome."

At this time, the two of them were sitting on a bench on the steps of the square. In order to speed up the pigeons coming to eat, Han Zhou deliberately turned on "Animal Affinity" to attract more pigeons to fly towards him.

Facts have proved that Wang Lengqiu's "theory" is indeed correct, or Han Zhou's guess is correct. The temporary mission's mission requirements are indeed based on Wang Lengqiu's will.

【Current Progress 7/10】

When the three pigeons finish eating the pigeon food, the mission will be completed.

Han Zhou was quite satisfied. Compared with the huge reward of [-] points, this temporary mission was not difficult at all. However, thanks to the mission target being Wang Lengqiu, another person might not be able to cooperate so well.

The only thing wrong is the current posture of him and Wang Lengqiu. Since they need to stretch out their left and right hands respectively and close together, their bodies are almost completely next to each other, which looks a bit ambiguous.

It's hard to say that his heartbeat was accelerating, but it would be false to say he didn't care at all. Han Zhou didn't even dare to turn his head, for fear of "colliding" with Wang Lengqiu.

There was no way to separate them for the time being anyway, so in order to ease the embarrassment, he simply asked questions.

"Um, Wang... I have a question for you."

"what is the problem?"

"Why do you have to fall in love with me? There must be some other reason besides me being a stickman, right?"

Han Zhou originally didn't want to ask this question, but this was to avoid any involvement between the two people. But now he has asked everything that should be asked. He and Wang Lengqiu are already involved. There is no need to deceive himself and others to draw a clear line. Ask earlier. If you know better, you may be able to respond better.

"Nothing."

Perhaps because he was worried about turning around and bumping into Han Zhou's face, Wang Lengqiu kept looking down at the pigeon in his palm and gently touched its head with his right hand, "Just because you are a stickman, there is no other reason. .”

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then he said calmly: "But the world is so big, maybe we can find other stick figures, and it doesn't necessarily have to be me, right?"

"No." Wang Lengqiu shook his head seriously, "You are the only stick figure."

"But since you know how to become a stickman, it means that others can also know it, so there must be more than just stickmen..."

"Only I know the method, and only I can become a stickman like you."

"Why are you so sure?"

Han Zhou looked suspicious. Although they had not been together for long, he knew that Wang Lengqiu was not a lunatic who talked nonsense. What she said was just difficult to understand, not unfounded.

"Because stick figures are unique." Wang Lengqiu said.

"so what?"

"Uniqueness means there will never be another stickman, so you are unique. I want to fall in love with you like this."

At this point, Wang Lengqiu shook his head gently and said seriously, "No...it's not just about falling in love, I also want to marry you."

Han Zhou felt as if he was struck by lightning and almost shook the dove out of his hand.

what?

What did he just hear?

This girl who had never met him more than ten times actually said she wanted to marry him with a serious look on her face?

Just because he's a stickman?

What kind of classic Japanese romance setting is this?

"Etc., etc……"

He took a deep breath, finally put away his messy thoughts, tried to remember for a while, and asked tentatively, "Have we met when we were children?"

Wang Lengqiu asked doubtfully: "What do you think?"

"Definitely not."

Han Zhou quickly denied this idea. Wang Lengqiu is not only a beauty, but also a very unique beauty. This kind of temperament that I feel pity for is not only unforgettable, but it is definitely enough to leave a deep impression. If he I will never forget seeing each other when I was a child.

Moreover, Wang Lengqiu is now two grades older than him, which means that the same is true at other times. His social circle has not been large since he was a child. He basically only knows his classmates, and he doesn't have much contact with, let alone know, the students in the same grade. A girl two levels ahead of me.

In other words, we can exclude the setting of a certain childhood sweetheart that we forgot when we grew up...

"That means you think I picked up your grandfather's wallet and returned it to you. This money is very important to your family, so you are so moved that you burst into tears and wish you could give me your life? I need to clarify this point again, It was really not me who picked up the wallet, but Teacher Ouyang."

"What are you talking about?" Wang Lengqiu was a little confused, "Why did I pledge my life to you when you found my grandfather's wallet?"

Well, it seems that it is not a setting where a drop of grace is promised with one's body...

Han Zhou thought about it for a while and said hesitantly: "This guess is rather presumptuous. I hope you won't be angry if I'm wrong."

"I am not angry."

Although he didn't know what the other party was guessing, Wang Lengqiu still nodded.

"Is it..." Han Zhou hesitated for a moment, "Is it that your grandfather was too ill that day and was about to die, and his dying wish was to see your boyfriend or something..."

Wang Lengqiu fell into silence.

Guess it right?

Han Zhou's heart skipped a beat. Among all the speculations, the last thing he wanted was for this one to come true.

He looked at the girl next to him, only to find that she was looking at the pigeons in the distance at some point, her eyes a little obsessed.

Hundreds of pigeons soared into the sky again, circled low in the sky, and then fell back to the ground again, like clouds that gathered and dispersed.

"It's so spectacular," she said softly.

Han Zhou's face turned dark. He was about to ask if he could listen to him carefully when he heard the other party reply, "No, my grandfather is in good health, but he does often say that he hopes to see me find a boyfriend to take back to him. have a look."

Han Zhou was stunned and asked tentatively: "So this is the reason why you want to marry...and want to fall in love with me?"

Wang Lengqiu shook his head: "I like grandpa, but this cannot be the reason for me to fall in love."

Well, it seems that it is not a setting where happiness is sacrificed to fulfill the wishes of those close to you...

Han Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, but then he got even more headache.

Because apart from these, he really couldn't think of a reasonable reason. Maybe "stickman" could explain everything, but he couldn't decipher it.

Sighing, he asked again without any hope: "Then why do you have to fall in love with me?"

"Because you are a stickman."

All right. Han Zhou knew that Wang Lengqiu would answer this way, which was why he had been guessing on his own just now. After all, he couldn't get a definite answer directly from this girl.

But it was not without gain, at least he knew one thing——

In Wang Lengqiu's eyes, stick figures seem to have a unique meaning.

Although knowing this is of no use...

[The temporary task has been completed and you have obtained thirty points]

While he was thinking, a reminder that the task was completed appeared in front of Han Zhou. He looked at the pigeon in his palm and gently touched its head. The latter stopped pecking and rubbed his fingers affectionately.

"It seems to like you very much." Wang Lengqiu said.

Han Zhou said casually: "Maybe it's because my index finger looks more like its relative."

"Dear?"

"It's nothing." Han Zhou turned off "Animal Friendly", stood up and said, "Okay, the pigeons are almost finished feeding, and it's time for me to go back."

After getting the points, he was ready to run away.

"Are you going back now?" Wang Lengqiu looked up at him.

"Well, I suddenly felt a little hungry. It's time to go back to school for dinner." Han Zhou made an excuse.

"Oh."

Wang Lengqiu nodded gently, poured the last bit of pigeon food in the bag on the ground, stood up and said, "I'm hungry too, let's go eat together. I know there is a window in the canteen that is delicious."

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, then forced out a smile and said, "It's a rare trip today. I don't plan to go to the cafeteria. I want to eat something good outside the school."

Wang Lengqiu nodded and silently took out two discount coupons from his pocket: "I happen to have two discount coupons for a luxury buffet here. Let me treat you to a good meal."

Han Zhou: "..."

"No need, I suddenly miss the braised chicken in the canteen again."

Wang Lengqiu put away the discount coupons and took out two more discount coupons: "I also have the discount coupons for the canteen. Let me treat you to the braised chicken."

Han Zhou opened his mouth, wondering if he heard wrongly, and said with a confused look on his face: "No, where do you get the discount coupons from the canteen? Why have I never heard of it?"

"I don't know. Last time, a sister said that I looked cute, and then she gave me a few of these. Don't worry, I tried it, and the coupons can be used."

It turns out that cuteness can really be eaten...

Han Zhou took a deep breath and said with a headache: "Why are you carrying so many coupons with you?"

"Because I want to treat you to dinner." Wang Lengqiu was too straightforward, making no secret of his long-standing plan.

That look was so sincere that Han Zhou couldn't bear it, but he still showed his cards coldly: "I appreciate your kindness, but I hope you can understand that the main purpose of accompanying you this time is to prevent you from harassing me again in the future. I don’t really want to accompany you to feed the pigeons, let alone eat with you, do you understand?”

"I know."

Wang Lengqiu looked directly into his eyes, the sunlight behind him a bit dazzling.

"That's why I wanted to treat you to a meal before that."

Han Zhou was stunned, completely unable to see the emotion contained in those eyes.

It's really hard to understand how much this girl cares about him, and she has even shown herself to be a bit flattering. If she gave up on herself because of the so-called stickman, it would undoubtedly be a very sad thing.

Is this self-isolation? Or stuck in the past?

Thinking of the prompts in the side mission, he hesitated to speak. After a while, he said: "Why do you have to do this..."

Unexpectedly, this time Wang Lengqiu did not answer "Because you are a stickman", but gave a brand new but equally difficult answer.

The sky turned completely crimson, and the sun became larger and larger as it gradually sank. The surrounding clouds seemed to be ignited and turned red.

A strong autumn wind suddenly blew and blew down a billboard not far away.

The pigeon was startled by the sudden sound, flapping its wings and flew up under the red sky.

Against the background of the red sky and white doves, the girl in white clothes turned her back to the setting sun, raising her hands to pull up the wind-blown hair around her ears, with a blurred expression on her face.

"Because a dove flew away."

The pigeon flies away...

What does this mean?

Han Zhou was slightly absent-minded. He looked past that adorable face and looked up at the sky. He did not see any pigeons flying away from the square.

Obviously, this is some kind of "imagery" again.

This guy is really a psychopath...he thought.

[Daily Task 3 (Wang Lengqiu): Capture the target’s expression change 10/1 ten times, and you will get [-] point]

……

Saying goodbye to the sunset, Han Zhou finally agreed to have dinner with Wang Lengqiu.

Because he really couldn't refuse the other party.

Especially when I thought about how he repeatedly emphasized that he would not eat with Wang Lengqiu, and the other party lowered his head and silently put away the discount coupon, and said, "The discount coupon will not expire until next month, so I will keep it and treat you to dinner next time." When he looked like this, he suddenly felt that he was an ungrateful bastard.

Maybe this is the so-called "sincerity is the eternal nirvana"?

The place where the two of them were now was a buffet restaurant. It had to be said that this restaurant could indeed afford to be luxurious. There were many things that Han Zhou had only seen on TV, and there were also smiling waiters standing by at all times.

However, he couldn't stand the feeling of being stared at all the time while eating, so he spent some time to send the waiter away, and then looked at Wang Lengqiu across the table.

The girl was looking at the crabs on the plate in a daze. She seemed to suddenly notice his gaze, raised her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Han Zhou shook his head, "I'm just curious about the discount coupon."

He actually didn't know what to say, so he could only find a random topic.

"[-]% off, you can save a lot of money." Wang Lengqiu said.

"Is this also given to you by someone who thinks you're cute?"

"No, I grabbed it online just for today."

"For today...last night?"

"The day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday?" Han Zhou felt strange, "How are you sure that I will accompany you to feed the pigeons today?"

"Because I feel like that's the way it will be."

Wang Lengqiu said slowly, "And even if you don't come out with me today, you will always come out with me in the future."

"Do I look like such an unstable person..." Han Zhou couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"That's not what I meant, but you seem to think so."

Wang Lengqiu shook his head, said nothing, and continued to look at the crabs on the plate in a daze.
