Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 376 You Need Insurance

Looking at the girl sitting beside the bed, Han Zhou couldn't let go of his worries.

Although Gu Zheng did not continue looking, she had no intention of leaving. She did not say anything, but just thought about something with a melancholy look on her face.

Fortunately, the other party's attention was never on the bed, otherwise he would have discovered Mo Yixia hiding in the quilt.

The heavy rain continued, raindrops hit the glass heavily, and cold air kept drilling into the room through the gaps in the windows, but it was no match for the warm air from the air conditioner, so the room was always filled with warmth.

Although the room was warm and Gu Zheng was healthy, Han Zhou was still worried that she would catch a cold. After hesitating for a while, he did not send her back to her room. Instead, he asked, "Gu Zheng, what's wrong with you? Why did you come to my room so late at night?"

"Looking for someone." Gu Zheng replied sullenly.

"Looking for someone?" Han Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he said calmly, "Who?"

Could it be that Gu Zheng discovered that Mo Yixia was not in the room?
Gu Zheng didn't answer, but glared at him in dissatisfaction: "First tell me what's the matter with the message that Sister Yin sent you?"

"what news?"

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, his expression suddenly became a little strange, "Wait, Sister Yin...you didn't peek at my phone, did you?"

He looked at Gu Zheng with suspicion. The latter turned her head away guiltily, as if she didn't dare to look at him, but soon she frowned and made an unhappy expression.

Han Zhou has realized that Gu Zheng was talking about the message that Sister Yin asked the senior to come over to give her a massage. This guy probably thought that this message was sent to him by Sister Yin.

I see...the person this guy has been looking for is actually Jong Eun?

"Who...who peeked at your phone!"

Although Gu Zheng had a stern face, her aura had weakened a lot. She defended herself with a guilty conscience, "I was originally going to your room to look for you. Who knew that your phone screen would light up at that time, and the font size was set so large? You know I have good eyesight... Anyway, I saw it by accident!"

At this point, she suddenly realized that there was no need for her to explain this matter. It was Han Zhou who should have explained it. So her face sank, she punched the other man's thigh hard, and asked fiercely, "Now I'm asking you! Tell me, what's going on!"

"So you suspect that Sister Yin has come to me?" Han Zhou said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Why don't you just ask me about this? Do you have to stay up late at night to catch her cheating?"

"What do you mean by catching an adulterer? That's such a harsh statement..."

Gu Zheng blushed slightly and said unhappily, "Don't change the subject! If you wanted to lie to me from the beginning, you wouldn't be able to answer me honestly even if I asked you."

"Tsk."

Mo Yixia wrote a word behind Han Zhou.

Han Zhou's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and he explained seriously: "Listen to me, Guzheng, that phone is not actually mine. My senior sister took it by mistake..."

He explained the whole thing in detail. Worried that Gu Zheng would not believe him, he handed the phone on the bedside table to her, pointed at the back of the phone and said, "Look, the patterns on the back of my phone and my senior's phone can be spelled into a heart, but the pattern on my phone is mainly concentrated in the lower half, while the pattern on this phone is obviously in the upper half, and my fingerprint can't unlock this phone, so it is actually..."

In fact, Gu Zheng had already believed Han Zhou when he said that the phone was taken by mistake, and her mood immediately improved a lot.

But seeing that the other party kept talking about the differences between the two couples' phones, she felt uncomfortable for some reason and interrupted impatiently, "Okay, I get it. You want to say that this is actually the senior's phone, right? Your phone is with her?"

What’s so great about couple phones… she thought sourly.

"Yes." Han Zhou smiled, "So this is just a misunderstanding. You should have asked me earlier."

After a pause, he suddenly felt a little scared and said with a wry smile, "Fortunately you didn't run to Sister Yin, otherwise there would be a big misunderstanding."

"How could I be so inconsiderate?"

Gu Zheng had her reasons for only raiding Han Zhou's room. She asked unconvincedly, "Since you knew you took the wrong phone, why didn't you return it to Senior Sister?"

"When I realized I had taken the wrong phone, everyone had already gone back to their rooms. I'm afraid the senior has already gone to bed. There's no need to disturb her so late at night. It's nothing important anyway. It won't be too late to return it to her tomorrow morning."

"That's right."

Gu Zheng nodded, thinking that what Han Zhou said made sense. Given the senior's personality, if she found out that she had taken the wrong phone, she would definitely return it immediately. The reason why she hadn't returned it yet was probably because she had fallen asleep before she realized it.

"All right."

Seeing Gu Zheng's expression ease, Han Zhou realized that the time was almost right, and said with a smile, "Well, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it's time for you to go back to bed. We can talk about it tomorrow morning."

The longer Gu Zheng stayed in the room, the greater the risk of Mo Yixia being discovered.

Gu Zheng hesitated for a while: "Don't you want to know why I went into your room to look for you before?"

Han Zhou was stunned. Of course he wanted to know, but now was not the time to chat, so he chuckled and said, "It's late now. We can talk tomorrow morning if we have anything to say."

"Ok."

After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng nodded gently, stood up and walked towards the door. But before Han Zhou could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the other party suddenly retreat back to the bedside, sat down suddenly, and looked at Han Zhou with burning eyes, "No, I want to tell you now!"

She was aggressive, as if she had made some kind of determination.

Meeting the girl's slightly burning gaze, Han Zhou felt inexplicably nervous, worried that she was planning to take this opportunity to confess her love to him.

Late at night is not a good time to make important decisions, because it will amplify emotions and weaken rationality, making usually cowardly people brave and usually calm people crazy, causing them to make certain impulsive decisions.

Of course, an impulsive decision is not necessarily a wrong decision, but for Han Zhou now, Guzheng’s confession is obviously not the right decision.

Because Mo Yixia was hiding in his quilt.

Han Zhou pretended to be calm, yawned deliberately, and acted sleepy: "Is it something serious?"

"Yes!" Gu Zheng looked determined.

"Does it have to be now?"

"Yes, we must tell you now."

"Can't I do it tomorrow morning?"

"no!"

Guzheng was worried that she wouldn't have the courage to say those words after tomorrow morning.

"but I……"

"I'll leave when I'm done!"

Seeing that Gu Zheng had said this, Han Zhou naturally couldn't continue pretending, otherwise it would be too suspicious.

At the same time, Mo Yixia suddenly wrote the three words "Let her speak" on his back with her fingertips, obviously very interested in what Gu Zheng would say next. This guy really just wants to watch the fun... Han Zhou sighed in his heart and had to bite the bullet to meet Gu Zheng's determined eyes.

"Then tell me."

It doesn’t matter what you say, just don’t let it be a confession… he prayed in his heart.

"Oh...oh, I—"

Guzheng was very determined the last second, but when it came to the moment to speak, she hesitated again. She lowered her head to brew her emotions for a while, took a deep breath, and was about to grit her teeth and speak when she suddenly noticed the slippers on the ground again.

She felt that the slippers were suspicious when she first entered the room. Now that she looked closely, she suspected that they were a pair of slippers for girls. She stretched out her feet to compare the slippers on her feet with the slippers on the ground, and she became more certain of her guess.

The two pairs of slippers are almost the same size.

Although Han Zhou has a delicate face and a relatively thin body, he is still a boy of nearly 1.8 meters in height. It is impossible for him to have such small feet, nor can he wear such small slippers.

So this pair of slippers definitely does not belong to Han Zhou, but to a girl.

Gu Zheng thought about it and first ruled out the possibility that these were Senior Sister Zhong Ling's slippers.

It's impossible that the senior student not only took Han Zhou's phone by mistake, but also happened to take away Han Zhou's slippers?
It is understandable that she took the wrong phone because the two phones looked similar, but the senior student would not have failed to notice such an obvious thing as whether the slippers fit or not.

Similarly, it is impossible for Han Zhou not to notice this problem.

So...whose slippers are these?
Or in other words...where did Han Zhou's slippers go?

The more Gu Zheng thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. This time, she didn't plan to wait until late at night to "catch the adulterer". Instead, she asked directly, "Han Zhou, what size shoes do you wear?"

Han Zhou was stunned: "43, what's wrong?"

"Where are the slippers?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Of course it's 43." Han Zhou didn't understand and asked curiously, "Is this what we have to say tonight?"

Gu Zheng ignored him and continued to look at the slippers on the ground, asking, "You don't have a habit of making things difficult for others, right?"

"of course not."

"Do you know what size shoe I wear?"

"How would I know? Probably less than 40."

Han Zhou became more and more confused as he listened. He wondered what kind of questions Gu Zheng was asking. Suddenly, his heart trembled and he suddenly realized something. His heartbeat accelerated sharply. He pretended to be calm and asked, "Why are you asking these questions all of a sudden?"

He didn't dare to look at the slippers on the ground, let alone touch the slippers under the pillow, but he could still vaguely sense that he might have hidden the wrong slippers - the slippers left on the ground were probably Mo Yixia's slippers, not his own!
And Guzheng has already discovered this!
Han Zhou broke out in a cold sweat.

The villa is not a hotel, so it is impossible to prepare slippers for everyone. Therefore, everyone has to bring their own slippers. If Guzheng insists on finding out the owner of the slippers, then she only needs to take the slippers away and confirm them one by one tomorrow morning.

No...she didn't even have to wait until tomorrow morning. She could knock on the doors of every room now and check who didn't have slippers or who was wearing a pair of slippers that didn't fit.

And if this is true, then Mo Yixia, who is not in the room at the moment, will definitely be discovered!
At that point, even if he could change his slippers back in time, he wouldn't be able to explain both things at the same time.

Han Zhou was in a panic, but fortunately Guzheng did not have the same hearing as him, so she could not hear his heartbeat that was like a drum.

What is even more fortunate is that, perhaps because there was a misunderstanding first, Guzheng seemed to think that this might also be a misunderstanding. Therefore, although her eyes were suspicious, her expression was still calm, and she had no intention of taking the slippers to each room to confirm. It was obvious that she intended to give him a chance to explain.

Gu Zheng didn't rush to ask about the slippers, but asked curiously, "You seem to have huddled in the quilt since I entered the room, and you're still like this now. Are you going to keep lying like this and talking to me?"

Han Zhou's heart skipped a beat. The slippers incident triggered a chain reaction. Gu Zheng was obviously beginning to doubt his behavior further. He could only bite the bullet and explain, "It's too cold in the room. I'm worried about catching a cold."

"But isn't the air conditioner on in the room? I still feel a bit hot."

Gu Zheng obviously didn't believe this explanation. She stared at him with one hand already grabbing a corner of the quilt, and asked suspiciously, "Did you hide something in the quilt?"

As he said this, he was about to lift up the quilt.

"Don't!"

Han Zhou was quick to respond and quickly stopped him, "I'm not wearing any clothes. I'm only wearing a pair of shorts!"

Unlike Mo Yixia, Guzheng is a very thin-skinned girl. Unless she is extremely sure, she will not easily lift the quilt when she knows that he is not wearing any clothes.

As expected, Gu Zheng's expression froze when she heard that, and her hand movements stopped. Her face turned slightly red, and she muttered something in a low voice.

Han Zhou vaguely heard the word "hooligan".

No, you broke into my room late at night, and that makes me a hooligan?

He complained in his heart, but when he saw that the guzheng stopped moving, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But now is not the time to relax my vigilance, I must find a reason to send the guzheng away quickly...

Han Zhou was trying hard to think of a way to get Gu Zheng to leave, when suddenly his expression froze, as if he had been electrocuted.

"what happened to you?"

Gu Zheng had been stealing glances at him and immediately noticed the strangeness on his face.

"No, nothing..."

Han Zhou forced a smile, his tone a little unnatural, because at this moment Mo Yixia under the quilt was quietly taking off his clothes.

The reason why he did not resist was because Mo Yixia wrote a sentence behind him.

"A lie is always just a lie. You need an insurance policy."

Mo Yixia's meaning was very simple. Gu Zheng might lift the quilt again at any time. If she found that he was actually wearing clothes, she would definitely become suspicious and would never believe his explanation again until she lifted the quilt completely to confirm what was inside.

But if you lift the quilt and find that he is indeed not wearing any clothes, you will most likely blush and completely give up the idea of ​​finding out.

——This is an insurance policy.

Han Zhou understood what Mo Yixia meant, but it was difficult to determine whether this guy really wanted to give him advice or take advantage of him.

This guy has no shame at all and has already started pulling down his pants.

But then again...

Isn't this guy a little too skilled at taking off people's clothes quietly under the quilt?
