Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 320 Rose Earrings
In hotel room 1207, Han Zhou was also discussing things about Xiao Xiaoxiao with Noila Mo.

Just now, at Mo Yixia's request, he told the other party in detail about his experience of going to Beicheng, especially the trip back to Yancun. Mo Yixia asked him to tell it in as much detail as possible. , seems to be trying to find some useful clues.

Han Zhou had a photographic memory, so naturally such a request would not trouble him. Just as he was talking about the rumors about pirates and human traffickers that were rampant in Beicheng in the past, Mo Yixia suddenly interrupted him.

"Didn't you realize that there is something wrong with what you just said?"

"what is the problem?"

Han Zhou immediately stopped narrating and looked like he was listening carefully.

"You just said that the bus driver told you that unless you drive yourself, almost everyone going to Linhai Town must take his car, and he is sure that you are outsiders at a glance."

"Yes, what's the matter..."

Han Zhou was about to ask what the problem was, but suddenly he was stunned for a moment, and he immediately understood what the problem was that Mo Yixia said.

Although he didn't finish his words, it was obvious what the other party meant.

"You mean..."

"Yes."

Noila Mo saw what he wanted to say and said calmly, "The driver's meaning is obvious. He doesn't know all of you, including that Xiao Xiaoxiao. Before that, he emphasized that you are all handsome guys. Beauty, if she is a resident of Linhai Town, it is impossible for him not to be impressed."

After a moment of silence, Han Zhou took over her words with a complex expression: "And with a small degree of recognition, if she has been in that car before, it stands to reason that the driver will not forget her..."

In his eyes that seemed to be asking for confirmation, Noila Mo nodded affirmatively and expressed the guess that emerged in his heart——

"Unless he has never met Xiao Xiaoxiao."

A ray of white light streaked across the sky, and the thunder was deafening. On the sofa on the other side of the room, Zhang Xinyue, who had just received a good deck of cards, was startled. She almost threw away the cards in her hand, and quickly stood up and closed the curtains.

At this time, everyone was gathered in the room. Han Zhou and Noila Mo were chatting at the door, while the other four people gathered together to play cards.

It is worth mentioning that this proposal was made by Ouyang Lianyu. Although she did not say it clearly, everyone could see her good intentions. She just wanted to cheer up Wang Lengqiu, who had always been in low spirits.

At this time, both Ouyang Lianyu and Zhang Xinyue learned about Wang Lengqiu's lost dog. However, they were unable to help and could only find ways to comfort each other.

Wang Lengqiu was quite cooperative. Although he didn't speak much, he still joined Zhong Ling and the others to play poker.

"Sister Lianyu, what do you think the two of them were talking about there? They deliberately ran so far away. Obviously they didn't want us to hear."

Zhang Xinyue returned to her seat and muttered quietly while playing her cards.

"I didn't know that young people have young people's topics. Why are you so concerned about it?" Ouyang Lianyu pushed up his glasses and shook his head helplessly.

"Look at what you said, we are not old either." Zhang Xinyue corrected unhappily, "I just want them to play cards together. I don't know when the rain will stop. It's a rare opportunity for everyone to play together." Isn’t it good to play in a group?”

"They may have important things to talk about, and they will come over after talking. Okay, it's your turn to play your cards."

"A pair of kings! Hum, my cards are very good, you will definitely lose!"

Zhang Xinyue was triumphant, and the smile on her face turned stiff in the next second. Wang Lengqiu played a pair of kings without any delay, and then played all the cards in one breath. The whole process was very smooth, as if he knew that no one You want the same.

Zhang Xinyue was dumbfounded.

"You won again, classmate Wang Lengqiu." Ouyang Lianyu looked at Wang Lengqiu with a smile.

"Thank you."

The latter spoke slowly, turned to look at Han and Zhou, and then looked down at the playing cards scattered on the table in a daze.

Zhong Ling started to shuffle the cards a little clumsily. Although she lost another round, she was not discouraged. She has a character that will be serious about whatever she does. Even if she is not very good at playing cards, she still has to go all out to deal with it.

On the other side, Han Zhou fell into deep thought and began to recall the details on his way to Linhai Town, and quickly came to the conclusion——

Noila Mo was right. Judging from the driver's reaction at the time, he had probably never seen Xiao Xiaoxiao.

Or maybe they have lost the memory of meeting each other.

You must know that Xiao Xiaoxiao is beautiful, and with his petite figure, it can be said that he is highly recognizable. He is a type that most people will not forget in a short time after seeing it, even if they forget the second time. It's easy to remember when you see it.

Listening to the driver's rather complacent tone at that time, he was obviously very confident in his observation and memory. He could tell with such certainty that they were outsiders, which obviously included Xiao Xiaoxiao, which meant that he I don’t feel like I’ve seen Xiao Xiaoxiao before.

...But this is unreasonable.

Even if you think about it in the most extreme direction, Xiao Xiaoxiao has never left Linhai Town before going to college, that is, she has never taken the bus with the driver before that, but at least she will always take it on the day she goes to college. That car?

What's more, Xiao Xiaoxiao went back once before during the National Day. It took at least two rides back and forth, and at least three encounters. It is impossible for the driver to have no impression of her at all.

Han Zhou remembered that the driver said that he was specifically responsible for the line in Linhai Town. He made one trip in the morning, noon and evening, and never changed shifts with others. He had been working for several years.

In addition, Xiao Xiaoxiao also mentioned more than once that it was the only bus that ran between Linhai Town and Beicheng, otherwise they would not have had to catch the bus early in the morning.

Therefore, there was no situation where Xiao Xiaoxiao encountered other drivers when he got in the car.

So...why didn't the driver remember Xiao Xiaoxiao?
Assuming this is some kind of "memory erasure" method, if the driver does not remember Xiao Xiaoxiao, will Xiao Xiaoxiao still remember the driver?

Is this just a casual misunderstanding, or is there some unknown reason?
Is it simply forgetting, or is there something similar to human interference?

Many doubts arose in Han Zhou's heart, and he suddenly thought of another point worth paying attention to -

The driver didn't know that there was a place called Jianyan Village near Linhai Town.

But you must know that as a veteran driver who has been traveling between Beicheng and Linhai Town for many years, he should be familiar with most of the areas around Linhai Town. However, he is completely unaware of the existence of Jianyan Village.

This is actually not very strange. After all, even for an experienced driver, it is normal for him to have never heard of some remote place names, but if it is connected with the fact that he does not remember Xiao Xiaoxiao, it seems a bit suspicious. .

Could this be the impact of "forgetting" Xiao Xiaoxiao?

Han Zhou told Noila Mo about this suspicion, and the latter said without hesitation: "Instead of spending time thinking, it is better to ask the person involved directly."

The person she was referring to was not the driver, but Xiao Xiaoxiao. It was very important whether Xiao Xiaoxiao still remembered the driver.

"I think so too."

Han Zhou immediately picked up his cell phone and called Xiao Xiaoxiao. However, he quickly frowned, looked at the screen and said, "No signal at this time?"

Noila Mo was searching for information about Jianyan Village on the Internet. She also saw an error message on the web page. There was no signal on her mobile phone. She looked up and looked out the window. Although the window was blocked by curtains, it was not difficult to escape from the heavy rain. From the sound, I learned how heavy the rain was outside.

But this is not a snow-capped mountain far away from human habitation. Even if it rains harder, there should be no signal for mobile phones.

She felt something was wrong.

Han Zhou also felt that something was wrong, so he walked up to the people playing cards and asked, "Can you see if your mobile phones have signals?"

This question was asked by Zhong Ling and Wang Lengqiu. After all, Ouyang Lianyu and Zhang Xinyue's mobile phones could not be turned on.

Zhong Ling immediately put down the cards in her hand, took out the mobile phone in the small cloth bag next to her, looked at it, and then shook her head in confusion, as if she felt a little strange.

"No, not a single signal." Wang Lengqiu took out his cell phone silently and shook his head.

Noila Mo glanced at her thoughtfully. Although this girl was not completely boring, she only fully responded to Han Zhou's words.

Zhang Xinyue wondered: "Why, all your mobile phones have no signal?"

"Ah."

Han Zhou looked a little distracted.

"Is there any problem?" Ouyang Lianyu saw the worry in his eyebrows and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I just feel like I forgot something important."

Han Zhou smiled and shook his head and said, "You guys can continue playing. Yixia and I still have something to say."

After saying that, he and Noila Mo returned to the door again.

"How disgusting..."

Zhang Xinyue muttered, then turned her attention back to the card game, and said proudly, "Come on, come on, keep on going, who of you can afford my three aces?"

After the words fell, Wang Lengqiu silently played three twos.

The air becomes quiet.

This girl must be poisonous...

Zhang Xinyue looked depressed.

Han Zhou walked to the door and thought hard for nearly a minute, but he still couldn't remember what he had forgotten.

This is abnormal. You must know that he now has a photographic memory. Recalling the past is like flipping through a book. As long as you are patient enough, it is impossible to miss anything that happened.

...Unless the incident is erased from memory.

He reacted immediately and said eagerly: "Yixia, I seem to be able to almost remember what happened that night during the live broadcast."

Mo Yixia glanced at him and said calmly: "If you want me to use hypnosis to help you retrieve your memory, then I'm sorry that I can't do anything. I don't know how to hypnotize you."

"It's rare that there is something you don't know how to do." Han Zhou smiled bitterly and quickly calmed down, "But it doesn't matter, don't worry, I can always remember it."

He was not in a hurry, thought for a while and continued, "By the way, I want you to help me analyze a sentence, 'The end of remembering is forgetting' - what do you think of this sentence?"

"Is it important?" Mo Yixia looked into his eyes.

"It's very important, and it should be related to Xiao Xiaoxiao's matter, but I can't tell you the origin of this sentence for the time being." Han Zhou looked at her seriously.

"I understand." Noila Mo nodded slightly, "You continue."

Han Zhou first continued to talk about the experience of going to Jianyan Village, and then told Mo Yixia the prompt he saw on the "Mysterious Tips Bag"——

"The end of remembering is forgetting."

"Go back to your former home and search patiently. You may be able to find something that does not exist in your memory."

“If you can’t find anything, you can ask others for some help.”

"If you still get nothing, it is recommended to put this matter behind you and live your current life."

"The end of remembering is forgetting, and the end of forgetting is remembering."

Noila Mo fell into thinking.

About half a minute later, she shook her head slightly: "Without knowing the cause and effect, I can't judge the specific meaning of this sentence unless we find more clues. But you should also be able to see that these contents are reminders. ...No, I'm warning you."

Her tone became unusually solemn.

Han Zhou was silent for a moment and said, "I know that these contents are telling me that once I start looking for the truth about this matter, I may lose my current life."

"But you still want to find it." Mo Yixia easily saw his thoughts as usual.

"Yes, my intuition tells me that I don't want to forget this." Han Zhou breathed a long sigh of relief and said frankly, "But I will prepare in advance. I don't want to lose my current life."

He has a status bar that can save him from even the worst situations.

Of course, the premise is that you have enough points.

Mo Yixia was noncommittal, thought for a while and reminded: "Maybe forgetting is a good thing for you. After all, as you just said, 'The end of remembering is forgetting, and the end of forgetting is remembering'."

She looked at Han Zhou's face, and there was no emotion or anger in her tone, "Maybe in your current state, you really remember the thing you forgot, and trying to remember it is a kind of real forgetfulness. "

"Is this your interpretation?" Han Zhou looked at her curiously.

"one of them."

Han Zhou hesitated for a moment and asked with some uncertainty: "Don't you think I should go find the truth about this matter?"

Mo Yixia thought for a moment: "Growing up, exploring the unknown has never been an interesting thing to me, and it remains the same until now, so to be honest, I don't really like to find the so-called truth."

"I guess there is a 'but' at the end." Han Zhou tried.

"There is no 'but', but there is a 'however'."

Mo Yixia glanced at him, "But...if this is what you expect, then exploring the truth might not be an interesting thing."

There seems to be no difference between "but" and "but"...

Han Zhou smiled: "I knew you would help me."

"After all, I am also very curious about the relationship between you and the girl named Xiao Xiaoxiao." Noila Mo lifted the hair from her ears and added unhurriedly.

Han Zhou hesitated for a moment: "Although I don't remember, I think there should be innocence between us..."

"Did I say you weren't clear?"

"That's not what I meant..."

"It goes without saying."

Noila Mo interrupted her, "Since you have made up your mind to find the truth, it's time for me to tell you the thing you forgot--"

"Go and see what's in your inside coat pocket."

Han Zhou was stunned, and the feeling of remembering something became stronger in his mind. He quickly walked into the cloakroom, found his wet coat, and took out two small, slightly cold objects from the inner pocket of the coat——

It was a pair of silver-white rose earrings.
