Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 38
After walking with this girl named Zhong Ling for a while, Han Zhou realized how remote the place she lived was.

Hutongs and alleys can be seen everywhere, surrounded by low-rise bungalows that have been in disrepair for a long time, and there are basically no landmark buildings to be seen along the way, perhaps because the weather is too hot, and even few people are encountered.

I don't know why Mo Yixia's friend went to such a place to sing last time... Han Zhou suddenly felt a little confused.

Zhong Ling was very familiar with this area, not only was he able to tell the direction easily, he even found a shortcut to the supermarket by turning here and there.

Her strides are small but fast, and her small steps give people a sense of haste. When she walks, she keeps holding the small cloth bag at her waist and takes out a towel to wipe her sweat from time to time.

Han Zhou quickly followed behind her, trying to say a few words out loud from time to time, but most of the time Zhong Ling responded silently, only occasionally nodding or shaking his head.

The location of the supermarket is relatively far away, but since the two of them walked very quickly, they arrived in a short time.

This supermarket is small, with only one floor. There seems to be no business at this time, and the only salesperson in the supermarket is dozing off as soon as you walk in.

Zhong Ling found a small trolley, carefully took out the mobile phone with the broken screen from the small cloth bag, and began to choose products on the shelf according to the shopping list in Fetion.

Han Zhou observed for a while, and found that most of what the other party bought were daily necessities, as well as condiments such as salt and pepper oil. Combined with the news from Fetion he had seen before, he guessed that the girl was sent by his sister to do the shopping. .

It seems that Zhong Ling's family conditions are not very good, otherwise she would not still be using a mobile phone with a broken screen. The things she bought are very cheap, as if she has a clear goal, and she takes the goods very quickly. Just throw it into the cart without a trace of muddy water.

However, when passing by the shelf with shampoo, her movements suddenly slowed down, she looked around for a while, clenched her fists a little uneasily, squatted down and stared at the shampoo in a daze.

Han Zhou had been pretending to choose products not far away, took a piece of toothpaste casually when he saw it, walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing Han Zhou, Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment, wondering why this man was still here. She moved her lips and wanted to speak, but suddenly remembered that the other party was hard of hearing, so she typed a word in the Fetion input box with her pale fingers. typography.

"The shampoo I used to buy was sold out and both were cheaper but they cost exactly the same and I didn't know which one to choose."

What the hell?
Han Zhouxin asked if there was any need to worry about it. Anyway, the two shampoos looked similar, so he said, "Can't you just choose one?"

Zhong Ling shook her head lightly, then hugged her knees and continued staring at the shampoo in a daze.

Han Zhou hesitated for a moment, remembering that girls seem to be more serious when choosing these things, and should not be too casual, so he suggested: "Then choose the one you like."

Zhong Ling was at a loss for a while, but still shook her head—she didn't know which one she liked better.

The shampoo I bought before was chosen by my sister. After that, she has been buying according to that brand. Now that she can’t see the same shampoo, she doesn’t know how to choose.

She wanted to send a message to ask her sister, but she was worried that her sister was working at the moment, and she didn't want to disturb her for such a trivial matter.

Han Zhou looked a little anxious, he just chose a shampoo, this guy shouldn't have difficulty choosing, right?After hesitating for a moment, he sent a message to Guzheng.

Guzheng replied almost instantly, but was obviously very upset, and sent several chopper emoticons in succession.

"Last time I asked me to borrow notes, but this time I came to ask me how to choose shampoo for a girl? What do you think of me, can't you search the Internet?"

Han Zhou typed out a line without hesitation.

"Look at what you said. Searching the Internet is not reliable for asking the squad leader."

Guzheng was silent for about 30 seconds, did not answer, but replied with a long text.

"The choice of shampoo depends on the hair quality. For dry hair, choose a shampoo with weak moisturizing ability. For oily hair, choose a shampoo with strong cleaning ability. Neutral hair does not need to be so particular..."

The dense text is divided into several messages, all of which are Gu Zheng's experience in choosing shampoo.

too professional……

Han Zhou praised sincerely: "As expected of the squad leader, it is more reliable than searching on the Internet!"

Guzheng replied with an emoji of a villain with his arms crossed, followed by a sentence.

"So, who are you going to buy shampoo for?"

"If I don't buy it for anyone, I'll just ask casually, that's all, see you later."

Han Zhou put away his mobile phone and saw that Zhong Ling was still squatting in front of the shelf in a daze, looking like he was going to struggle until night, so he said helplessly, "How about I help you choose, I think the bottle of shampoo on your left is more suits you……"

He organized his words silently, but before he could say a lot of reasons behind, Zhong Ling directly picked up the shampoo on the left and put it into the cart, got up and walked quickly to the next shelf.

Han Zhou was dumbfounded. He co-authored this guy and didn't even intend to choose by himself?
Seeing the other party walking away, he hesitated a little, thinking whether to follow him cheekily, but found that the girl suddenly came back with the cart, and came straight to him, as if she was looking for him.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhong Ling pinched the corner of her clothes, a trace of panic flashed in her clear eyes, she seemed a little embarrassed, but she still raised her phone and pointed to a line of text on the screen.

Han Zhou took a closer look, and thought that the long list was indeed a shopping list, and then he read the line pointed by the other party with a strange expression——

"Rewrite two, three and four, and read the sum as nine... What does this mean?"

He was suspicious in his heart, guessing that since this line of words was written together with the shopping list, shouldn't it refer to some kind of product?
Zhong Ling quickly wrote in the input box: "This is a riddle posed by my sister. The answer is what she wants me to buy, but I can't guess it."

Han Zhou was overjoyed, and thought that it was true, but this sister is really interesting, and she makes everything so fancy.

After thinking for a moment, he quickly guessed the answer and said, "Is it wine?"

Zhong Ling's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she was not curious about how the answer came about. She nodded in agreement - her sister used to ask her to buy wine often, and this time the shopping list didn't list wine, so the answer There is nothing wrong with the wine!
She turned around and was about to leave, remembering that she hadn't thanked her yet, so she typed "thank you" in the input box, and then took small steps and pushed the trolley to the wine area.

Han Zhou was secretly amazed when he saw it, but he didn't expect this girl who seemed to have choice phobia to be surprisingly agile. She quickly bought a lot of items on the shopping list and pushed them to the cashier to pay.

The movements were so fast that he didn't even have a chance to strike up a conversation.

The salesperson was a middle-aged woman. She yawned and casually scanned the products. Suddenly, she noticed that the young customer was staring at her. She couldn't help wondering, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Zhong Ling held the banknotes in his hand, and his expression was dumbfounded. He just clearly said the request, didn't this person hear it?
He was about to speak again, but Han Zhou suddenly walked over quickly and said with a smile to the salesperson, "She plans to pay in cash, please give her as much small denomination change as possible when you change the money."

The salesperson didn't feel much when he saw a beautiful girl like Zhong Ling, but when he saw a handsome guy like Han Zhou, his attitude was a little warmer, with a decent smile on his face: "No problem."

She looked at the goods in Han Zhou's hand and asked, "Are you paying together?"

"No, pay separately."

Hearing this answer, for some unknown reason, the salesperson suddenly laughed even happier, and gave Zhong Ling some change with a smile on his face.

Not long after, Zhong Ling put the change into a small cloth bag, lifted the big plastic bag with some difficulty, and walked home after walking out of the supermarket.

Soon Han Zhou also came out of the supermarket. Seeing this, he wanted to step forward to help share, but Zhong Ling firmly refused.

After being silent for a long time, she suddenly put down the bag, typed a few words on the phone and held it up to Han Zhou: "Why do you know?"

Knowing that she was asking about the cashier just now, Han Zhou answered honestly, "I saw it when you showed me the riddle just now, and it says 'remember to change back' under the shopping list... sorry, I It was not intended to be seen."

He has the "speed reading" skill, which can complete text reading in a short period of time. This is a skill formed through long-term study and has a wide range of practicability.

Zhong Ling shook her head, feeling a bit depressed for some reason, and stopped typing, picked up the bag and continued walking.

The bag was very heavy, and she couldn't walk as fast as before. She kept silent on the way, and didn't even ask why Han Zhou was walking with her.

Until he bought a wrench at the hardware store, Han Zhou still failed to get her to say the words "I want to fall in love".

He was a little impatient, thinking that there would be no progress today. Seeing that Zhong Ling was about to walk into the alley, if he continued to follow, he would probably be regarded as a hooligan.

"that……"

Looking at Zhong Ling's back, he hesitated to speak, but at this moment, a tall woman suddenly appeared in the alley ahead. Her appearance was three points similar to Zhong Ling's, and her expression was very stern. No doubt about my sister.

【Name: Zhong Yin】

Zhong Yin looked past his sister, narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Zhou, and Han Zhou also looked at her.

After looking at each other for a short time, Zhong Yin frowned suddenly, his eyes were so fierce that he seemed to see a piece of garbage, he clenched his fists and walked over aggressively.
