Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 330 November th
November 18, Saturday, sunny weather.

As predicted by the "mysterious tips bag", today is indeed a pretty good sunny day, the sun is shining brightly, and the temperature is much warmer than the previous few days. People can't even imagine the heavy rain a week ago.

In early winter, the sunshine on campus is rarely warm. The sky is clear, and the clouds move with the wind, gathering and dispersing. Sometimes they gather into white flocks, and sometimes they are scattered on the blue sky.

Walking along the basketball court towards Angel Lake, you can see the tree-lined path paved with fallen leaves, which rustles when you step on it. Students in twos and threes sit on the benches by the lakeside, admiring the scenery of the lake in winter.

"It didn't take long for the temperature to drop and then it started to heat up again. It looks like it won't snow this year."

Lin Anyu casually threw the Coke can into the trash can, put his hands in his pockets, and glanced at the female students wearing long skirts on campus, his tone was quite melancholy.

"Isn't this what you expected?"

Han Zhou next to him yawned and said with a sleepy look, "If it snows, there won't be as many girls wearing skirts as now."

He rubbed his face and felt a little strange. It seemed like a similar conversation had happened before.

"I don't understand what you mean, but I can see that you seem to have a big misunderstanding of me."

Lin Anyu looked righteous and said righteously, "Han Zhou, I don't know why you have such a deep misunderstanding of me, but I hope that when you see Bai Tongtong later, you can temporarily put aside your prejudice against me. Tell her my truest and best side.”

He gave Han Zhou a meaningful look.

Before the other party could open his mouth to expose him, he preemptively said, "By the way, what did your kid do last night? You looked listless?"

"I'm preparing a gift for Gu Zheng."

"You prepare gifts the day before your birthday?"

Lin Anyu looked disdainful and said sadly, "Even I bought the gift in advance. I don't know how long I have been struggling with it, but you are so negligent. Are you worthy of Gu Zheng running with you every night?"

"Where did you get so many dramas?" Han Zhou glanced at him helplessly, "Do you think I don't want to rest early? But for someone's throbbing heart, I had to find ways to call Bai Tongtong to attend Gu Zheng's birthday , otherwise the gift would have been made long ago.”

Just a week ago, Lin Anyu suddenly called him and told him that he fell in love with a girl at first sight. He thought it was another senior student, but unexpectedly the other party was talking about Bai Tongtong, and he was resolute, asking him to help no matter what. Tips.

After much thought, he felt that inviting Bai Tongtong to attend Gu Zheng's birthday would be an opportunity. He thought it would take some effort, but after learning that Lin Anyu would also come, Bai Tongtong agreed without hesitation.

As early as the last trip to Beicheng, Han Zhou had noticed that Bai Tongtong's attitude towards Lin Anyu was unusual, but he didn't expect it to be so unusual. Unfortunately, Lin Anyu himself seemed not to be aware of this at all.

Hearing this, Lin Anyu immediately changed his tone, gave a thumbs up and praised: "It turned out to be a gift made by myself. I stayed up late every day to work on it. Gu Zheng will definitely be moved to tears when he finds out."

"Stop talking about useless things, I'll remind you again..."

"Understand, understand, today is Gu Zheng's birthday, everything must go according to her wishes, and don't mention any topics that can affect the outcome...I almost memorized it."

"Just memorize it."

……

Today’s birthday has special meaning for Gu Zheng.

She had basically spent her birthdays at home in the past. Due to the lack of friends since junior high school, she rarely had the opportunity to celebrate her birthday in the company of a group of friends. Today can be said to be the largest number of people.

Gu Lang and Miao Yaner originally planned to cook a sumptuous meal for Gu Zheng to celebrate her birthday as usual, but they soon changed their minds. They were delighted when they learned on the phone that their daughter had made so many friends. Ru Kuang immediately gave up the idea of ​​letting Gu Zheng go home and decided to let these young people play freely. They would celebrate their daughter alone in the future.

The birthday party was held at Zhong Yin's newly opened "Yin Ling" pastry shop. Zhong Yin personally made a six-layer cake for Gu Zheng - this was Han Zhou's request. Gu Zheng's competitiveness was not reflected in his desire to compare. The size of the cake doesn't really matter to her, but no one is unhappy when they see a big cake.

The birthday party attendees included Han Zhou, Lin Anyu, sisters Zhong Yin, Bai Tongtong, and the shameless Wang Runxue, a total of six people.

When Han Zhou and Lin Anyu arrived at the pastry shop, everyone else had already arrived. They were the last to arrive. As the only two boys on this birthday, they consciously took on the purchasing task and were also responsible for "exploration." "I have to go to the venue today, so I came a little late.

"I'm here to help!"

As soon as he entered the store, the sharp-eyed Gu Zheng rushed over, took the things from the two people's hands and put them on the table.

Seeing the cream on the tip of the girl's nose, Han Zhou knew that this guy really couldn't take any time off. He was probably helping everywhere all the time and had no consciousness of being the protagonist of his birthday.

But this was Gu Zheng. Let alone her nineteenth birthday, even if it was her ninetieth birthday, she would probably not be willing to sit in the living room and wait for dinner.

Thinking of this, Han Zhou couldn't help but smile.

"why are you laughing?"

Gu Zheng saw the cream on the tip of her nose through the glass of the cupboard where the cakes were stored. She thought he was laughing at her, so she couldn't help but blush slightly and immediately put on a serious face.

Han Zhou smiled and said, "I was wondering what your ninetieth birthday would be like."

"Why are you thinking about this when you have nothing to do?" Gu Zheng was stunned and said nonchalantly, "I'm not sure whether I can survive until then."

She quietly glanced at the gift box in the bag, curious about what kind of birthday gift Han Zhou had prepared for herself.

Lin Anyu said with a smile: "I don't know about others, but Gu Zheng, you will definitely live to be ninety years old. I remember that during the college entrance examination, the doctor said you were too healthy."

These days, most people are in a sub-healthy state, let alone students who sit in the classroom all day long. Even the physical education teachers who teach them often ask for leave due to illness, so when I saw Gu Zheng’s physical examination report, , the doctor’s expression is quite wonderful.

"Really?" Wang Runxue, who had just walked over, looked surprised and said in shock, "Is there anyone who can be too healthy?"

"it is true."

Bai Tongtong, who followed closely behind, said with a slight smile, "Han Zhou was also evaluated as healthy by the doctor. His biggest problem is that he is too thin. The doctor recommended that he eat more meat."

Wang Runxue's eyes widened and she looked Han Zhou up and down in disbelief for a while: "You? Are you healthy?"

She believed that Gu Zheng was too healthy, but this guy doesn't look very healthy at all!

Han Zhou said without changing his expression: "Rule a regular schedule, go to bed early and get up early, and never be picky about food. If I'm not healthy, who will be healthy? Not to mention that I've been doing guzheng exercises recently."

His health is maintained by the status bar, but this is obviously impossible to say. Fortunately, no one doubts his words.

To be honest, there are very few people who can maintain a good work and rest habit like him, otherwise there would not be so many sub-healthy people in the world.

"It must be that your physical examination requirements are relatively low..."

Wang Runxue still didn't believe it, but she was quickly distracted by other things, "By the way, it was clearly cloudy yesterday, and the weather forecast also said there would be light rain today. Why did you insist that today was sunny, but it was still cloudy?" correct?"

She looked at Han Zhou with burning eyes.

Han Zhou knew that she wanted to ask him if he had divined today's fortune, so he casually said: "I told you to read the weather forecast in Lincheng backwards."

"cut."

Wang Runxue had a look of disbelief and an expression of "Don't try to fool me." She thought to herself that this guy must have divined today's fortune in advance, so he knew it would be a sunny day. At this moment, Han Zhou suddenly said thoughtfully, "But having said that, when it comes to sunny days, what can you think of?"

"It's going to be a nice sunny day next Saturday."

——This was the tip given by the "Mysterious Tips Bag" last week. He had never imagined the meaning behind this sentence.

Everyone was stunned and didn't understand why Han Zhou suddenly asked this.

Lin Anyu didn't think too much. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "It should symbolize something beautiful. Generally, I feel much better when I see a sunny day - except when there is a physical education class that day."

For high school students, physical education class can be said to be something that is not available to young people. On the day of physical education class, they are most worried about rain, for fear that the physical education teacher will "take sick leave". However, when they reach college age, rain has become the expectation of many people. Maybe this is the change in growth mentality.

"I will think of the sun." This was Gu Zheng's answer.

"Some divination can only be performed on sunny days." Wang Runxue thought.

"The wind is beautiful and the sun is beautiful, suitable for traveling." Bai Tongtong said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you."

Han Zhou realized that he couldn't count on others. It was still too much to rely on just one word to associate the key information, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, where are the seniors and the others?"

"Still busy inside." Gu Zheng pointed to the door behind him.

"Then let's go in and help." Lin Anyu said excitedly, "It's rare for everyone to get together today. It's Gu Zheng's birthday. Han Zhou, you have to cook a few dishes, right?"

Ever since he ate the food cooked by Han Zhou last time, he had always wanted to eat it again.

"no problem."

Han Zhou smiled. Of course he wanted to show off his cooking skills today.

Pushing open the door is Zhong Yin's residence. The space inside is relatively small, and the kitchen can only accommodate two people. As soon as Han Zhou arrived at the door, he saw Zhong Ling in an apron. The other person was concentrating on chopping vegetables, not paying any attention at all. Noticed his arrival.

Zhong Yin can't be seen, but her busy voice can be heard: "Xiao Ling, help me get some garlic, some minced ginger, is the chili over there? Pass me a plate for the fish. that……"

He watched silently, until he coughed due to the sudden smell of oil smoke, and then Zhong Ling looked back with a delighted smile on his face.

"Junior, you are here."

Han Zhou smiled and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work."

Today is Gu Zheng's birthday. In fact, Zhong Ling and Zhong Yin shouldn't have to worry about it, but they took the initiative to "contract" the venue for the birthday party. Now they are responsible for cooking, which is really a hard work for them.

"Ahem, cough, what's wrong, Xiao Ling? Is it that little...is Han Zhou here?"

Along with several coughs, Zhong Yin's voice sounded in the kitchen.

Zhong Ling nodded toward the room.

"Ahem, cough, cough, the room is a little choked. Let him stay outside and come back later."

Han Zhou heard Zhong Yin's words and raised his voice and said, "Sister Yin, I'm here to cook, please give me the kitchen!"

He had already told Zhong Yin that he wanted to cook before he came.

"I know, I'll let you go when this dish is finished, and you go out first."

He didn’t know what Zhong Yin was cooking. The whole room was filled with a choking smell, but it smelled quite delicious. As soon as Han Zhou walked out of the door, he saw Zhong Ling following him. He coughed and explained: " The room was too choked, so my sister asked me to come out.”

"What is she cooking?" Han Zhou looked curious and handed the water glass on the table to Zhong Ling.

He recognized the other person's water glass.

Zhong Ling wiped her hands on her apron, then took the water glass and said with a smile: "My mother used to make a dish for us. It is a specialty of their hometown. It tastes delicious. My sister has been learning it recently and wants to make it." Give it a try to everyone.”

"It does smell delicious." Han Zhou smiled.

Zhong Ling nodded, with a nostalgic smile on her face: "My mother's cooking skills are very good. She said it was this dish that captured my father's stomach and heart. She also let my sister and I learn to cook with her when we have time. But we were still in school at that time and rarely had the opportunity to enter the kitchen, so we only learned a little bit.”

At the end of the sentence, a trace of sadness flashed in her clear eyes.

But she also knew that today was a happy day, so she quickly calmed down her emotions and plucked up the courage to say, "So if my sister's cooking is not delicious, please forgive me."

Han Zhou was stunned and said with a smile: "Of course, but the taste just now was very fragrant. Sister Yin will definitely make it delicious."

"Ok!"

Zhong Ling nodded vigorously, with a gentle smile on her face.

Not long after, the door opened, and Zhong Yin's voice came from inside the house: "Han Zhou, come in!"

Han Zhou walked into the room. Before he could speak, the door was slammed shut. Zhong Yin turned his back to him and was taking off his apron. He said without emotion: "The kitchen has been cleaned. You can go in." Remember to keep the range hood on and the ingredients in the refrigerator.”

"Thank you."

Han Zhou nodded and took the apron from Zhong Yin. Seeing that the other party never looked back at him, he couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with you, Sister Yin?"

"Nothing, let's go make your dishes. It's almost noon, don't wait any longer." Zhong Yin still had his back to him, his tone couldn't be called cold, but it definitely couldn't be called gentle. It sounded rather stiff.

But this is already the result of Zhong Yin's hard work for a long time.

"Could it be that oil splashed on your face?" Han Zhou asked.

"No, don't be so busy."

"So you didn't put on makeup when you woke up today?"

"When have I ever worn makeup?"

Zhong Yin was a little impatient and was about to let this guy get out of the kitchen quickly, but there was no sound behind him.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned to look to her side. She saw Han Zhou coming to her side at a glance, with a bit of concern on his face and an uncertain expression of hesitation.

"Sister Yin...are you crying?"
