Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 262 Similar People

Ouyang Lianyu lived in an apartment not far from the school. Without wasting much time, Han Zhou walked there according to the address given by the other party.

"Yixia, why do you think Teacher Ouyang came to us?"

Noila Mo sighed: "First of all, the person she is looking for is you, not 'us'. Secondly, do you think that I am omnipotent? I don't know much about Teacher Qi, so I can't guess her thoughts out of thin air." .”

If you didn’t tell me, I really thought you were already omnipotent...

Han Zhou murmured in his heart and asked curiously: "You mean if you know something about a person, you can guess what the other person is thinking?"

Noila Mo glanced at him: "What do you want to say?"

"Nothing, I was just wondering if you could guess what I was thinking if I invited you to my home."

"It depends on whether it's day or night."

"daytime."

"Can't guess." Noila Mo looked uninterested.

"What about tonight?"

"Then I agree."

"What agreement?" Han Zhou was stunned.

"Didn't you invite me to your house at night?" Noila Mo looked at him pretending to be confused.

Han Zhou's mouth twitched: "I never said that, please don't misinterpret my meaning..."

"Anyway, I take it seriously. Remember to tell me your new address later. If I run away from home and spend the night at your house in the future, you can't drive me away."

"My house only has one bed." Han Zhou had a headache.

Noila Mo pondered for a moment: "Isn't this better?"

"..."

Han Zhou sighed and was about to say haha ​​when he suddenly received several messages.

The results of the investigation by Gu Zheng, Tang Wenshuang and others came out. The girls' dormitory did not seem to be haunted in the days when Xiao Xiaoxiao left last week, but it has reappeared recently.

Tang Wenshuang didn't know the significance of this matter, but Gu Zheng was aware of it. She was not a slow person. Thinking of Han Zhou's strange behavior of suddenly paying attention to the haunted incident, combined with the anomalies discovered in Beicheng, she quickly Then I thought of something.

So he sent a message asking: "Do you suspect that these things are related to Xiaoxiao?"

"Yes." Han Zhou replied, "Although it sounds incredible, these anomalies can indeed be connected to Xiaoxiao."

Gu Zheng was a little hard to accept: "No way... Xiaoxiao doesn't look like a ghost at all."

"I didn't say she was a ghost. This matter requires further verification before we can draw a conclusion. However, even if these anomalies are really related to Xiaoxiao, it seems that she herself is in an unknowing state. Don't talk to her until we find out what's going on. Mention this matter.”

"I see."

Gu Zheng also understood that this matter was not trivial, and immediately took it seriously, "I will pay more attention to the 'haunted' time and see if I can find any clues."

"Be careful, and don't chase him out to check, otherwise it will be bad if it is really haunted." Han Zhou reminded seriously.

"So what if there is a ghost? I'm not afraid. It may not be my opponent."

"I'm just afraid that if you kill the ghost, there may be no clues by then." Han Zhou praised him with dignity and emphasized again, "Anyway, you must not go out to check at night."

He actually didn't know if leaving the dormitory door at night would be a problem, but for safety reasons, he didn't want Gu Zheng to take risks.

"I see."

Noila Mo remained silent until Han Zhou put away his phone and asked, "How's it going? Did you find anything?"

Han Zhou nodded: "You are right. The girls' dormitory was normal in the days when Xiaoxiao left school. However, this phenomenon has reappeared since Xiaoxiao came back... What do you think?"

"As I said, I'm not omnipotent. I can't understand this phenomenon that is beyond ordinary people's cognition for the time being. You can find an opportunity to ask her if similar situations have happened around her before. If not, then let her think about it. What’s the difference between then and now?”

This is indeed a feasible direction of exploration. No one has connected the abnormal phenomena encountered with Xiao Xiaoxiao before, so he has not thought about asking about these things. Now it seems that it is necessary to inquire.

Speaking of which, he has never given the sleeping pills to Xiao Xiaoxiao. First, it is because it is a bit weird to suddenly give sleeping pills to someone. After all, the products in the monthly mall do not have trademarks and ingredient labels, and they may be regarded as Suspicious elements were sent to the police station.

The second reason is that the relationship between him and Xiao Xiaoxiao is not good enough for him to risk the status bar being exposed to save the other person's insomnia.

After all, he still doesn't know whether the ingredients of the product listed in the status column can be tested, and regardless of whether the unknown ingredients can be tested, he doesn't know how to explain the origin of this bottle of sleeping pills.

The status bar is Han Zhou's biggest secret. So far, he has only fed Noila Mo the Dali Pills produced by the monthly mall once, and this was based on the fact that the other party fell into a coma. Under normal circumstances, he would not dare to take such a risk. .

But then again, the timing of the appearance of sleeping pills is too coincidental, as if the status bar was tailor-made for Xiao Xiaoxiao...

If this is some kind of gift from the status bar, why does it pay so much attention to a non-unlockable character?

Is it because Xiao Xiaoxiao is special, or does it mean that the status bar attaches great importance to Xiao Xiaoxiao, or the relationship between him and Xiao Xiaoxiao, or...

Is there a problem with Xiao Xiaoxiao's insomnia itself?

Han Zhou suddenly had an idea and felt that this guess was possible.

"Have you thought of anything?" Noila Mo quickly noticed the excitement on his face.

"Not really. It can only be said to be absurd associations based on absurd reality." Han Zhou shook his head and said, "I'm wondering if these are related to a little insomnia?"

Noila Mo was thoughtful, she had just heard about Xiao Xiaoxiao's severe insomnia: "Why do you think so?"

Of course, it was impossible for Han Zhou to tell her that this was a judgment based on the status bar, and he casually replied: "Because apart from severe insomnia, I really can't think of anything unusual about Xiao Xiao, but this is just a guess. direction."

"That's it." Mo Yixia was noncommittal and said calmly, "Speed ​​up, your teacher may not be able to wait any longer. Her tone didn't seem happy when she called."

……

At the same time, in a living room.

Ouyang Lianyu, whose left hand was fixed in plaster, picked up her phone for the third time to check the time, seeming a little anxious.

Sitting on the sofa is a dignified middle-aged woman. Her skin is well maintained, but it is still difficult to withstand the wear and tear of time. There is a trace of eye wrinkles in the corners of her eyes. She looks like she is in her forties. She is gently sipping tea and looking at people with every gesture. A sense of elegance.

"Lianyu, hasn't the student you are waiting for arrived yet?"

"Should be here soon."

Ouyang Lianyu forced a smile. To be honest, she really didn't want to see her aunt.

"Then just wait a little longer."

Auntie put down the tea cup and said calmly, "You always told me that you can take care of yourself, but look at how you look now. Only one hand can move freely in your whole body. You can't even make a cup of tea for your elders." , if I hadn’t come here in person, I really couldn’t believe that you would have lived like this.”

The cultivation he had learned since childhood kept a smile on Ouyang Lianyu's face: "I just can't move my left hand temporarily, and my feet can already move on the ground. I only plan to rest for a few more days on the advice of the doctor, and I can make you a cup of tea." It can be done.”

"So what if you can do it? If it takes too long, it's a poor reception. It's very rude to the guests."

"But you are not a guest..."

"Do you want to say that we are relatives? It seems that you have almost forgotten your upbringing after being away from home for so long."

The aunt interrupted her niece and said in a leisurely tone, "Your parents have been urging you to find someone to marry for a long time. I have always protected you and allowed you to do what you like. This is because of you. You promised me that you can take care of yourself, but now it seems that I mistrusted you, and you can't do what you said."

Ouyang Lianyu said seriously: "Auntie, you can't deny my ability to live independently just because of this meeting. If you really come here with the idea of ​​considering me, you should be able to find that every corner of my house is neat. , although it is inconvenient to move, it does not matter..."

"Keeping the house tidy is a basic quality for a woman. Otherwise, how will she care for her husband and raise her children in the future?"

The aunt interrupted her again, "The purpose of my visit is very simple. One is to see how you are doing, and the other is to send a message to you on behalf of your parents. You should either not go back for the Chinese New Year this year, or prepare for it." What a blind date.”

Ouyang Lianyu was silent for a while: "Is that really what they said?"

Auntie picked up the tea cup: "By the way, there is another option. Your parents are not pedantic people. They still support free love. You can also bring a boyfriend back to show them, but you must carefully investigate it then. Yes, you can prepare to get married if you pass."

"Auntie, I have said many times that I don't want to get married so early."

"I know." Auntie said, "But your marriage is not something I can control. It's not easy for me to buy you so much time."

That's it again.

always like this.

Ouyang Lianyu put away her smile, lowered her head and remained silent.

She turned out to like this aunt very much, and her parents always urged her to get married early. If her aunt hadn't been trying to manipulate her, she would have married someone she didn't like. It was with her aunt's support that she was able to escape to a place far away from her parents. Do what you love.

But she didn't know until later that her aunt didn't help her because she supported her idea of ​​living independently, but simply looked down upon their family.

The ancestors of Ouyang Lianyu's family were from a scholarly family. When his grandfather was still alive, he always liked to talk about cultivation, so that the thoughts of his son and two daughters were more or less affected.

This is certainly not a bad thing. Ouyang Lianyu likes his kind grandfather very much. In addition to educating his children verbally, this old man often teaches by words and deeds, demonstrating his educational philosophy with every word and deed.

Just like his grandfather's words and deeds, Ouyang Lianyu's father also paid great attention to cultivating his children's education, but he was too conservative and strict and always felt that girls should marry early.

As for his second sister, Ouyang Lianyu's aunt, she is a typical person who prefers words over actions. She always talks about self-cultivation and likes to show off her superiority intentionally or unintentionally. This is only because she is married to A rich man.

That's right, Ouyang Lianyu realized not long ago that her aunt would speak for her in front of her parents entirely because she looked down upon her parents and thought that the blind date they found was not worth mentioning and could not compare to the one she helped find. Rich object.

But even so, Ouyang Lianyu is still very grateful to her aunt, after all, she has indeed allowed her to touch freedom, even if the other party will take this as a favor every now and then, it doesn't matter.

What she really can't stand is her aunt's outdated ideas——

Whether it's getting admitted to a prestigious school or practicing how to speak, all a woman's efforts are to marry into a wealthy family. She doesn't need any ability to be independent, she just needs to learn how to care for her husband and raise children.

The aunt has always supported her "independence" because she has never found anyone who can catch her eye. Now maybe she has finally found someone, so she will deny everything in her past and let her return to the correct path of caring for her husband and raising children.

Ouyang Lianyu was not unaware of this, but she never thought of it. As a person who was also influenced by her grandfather's ideas, she also attached great importance to personal cultivation and was unwilling to fall out with her elders easily.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and said seriously: "Aunt, thank you for your help all the time. My marriage is indeed not something you can control. It should be decided by myself - I can take good care of myself now. This matter I will tell my parents myself.”

She was still a little nervous, but when she realized that she had subconsciously changed the address from "you" to "you", she actually relaxed inexplicably, and at the same time she thought of the student who never knew how to respect her.

"I always say that kid is ignorant. It turns out that we are actually the same kind of people..."

With this thought in his mind, Ouyang Lianyu's smile reappeared on his lips, and he said gently: "That's all I want to say, aunt, if there is nothing else, please come back."

The aunt frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with her niece's attitude: "I have already said that you can't take care of yourself now, you need a man."

"I am twenty-seven years old. I have been living alone away from my parents since high school. I am the youngest professor at Linda, which means I can live a good life without a man."

"Then why do you have a pair of men's slippers outside your door? Don't think I don't know. You have a nickname in school called 'Wounded All Over'. There will always be times when you can't take care of yourself. What should you do then? ? Someone has to take care of you, right?"

"Even in this state, I can take care of myself, and even if there comes a day when I can't take care of myself, I can still find students to take care of me - if you have asked about me in school, you should know that I am a A very popular teacher.”

After the words fell, there was a knock on the door.

Ouyang Lianyu gave an excused smile to her aunt.

"They're coming."
