Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 399 Leng Qiu doesn't feel young

Han Zhou's degree of shock at this moment was no less than when he first saw the status bar.

Of course, Jiang Taigong is Jiang Ziya. This is common knowledge that almost everyone knows. But the problem is that this is common knowledge in his previous life. Jiang Ziya does not exist in this world, and naturally there is no story of Jiang Taigong fishing.

As a person of this world, Wang Lengqiu actually knew that Jiang Taigong was Jiang Ziya. Han Zhou didn't know how to describe this absurdity. His first reaction was that there might be a niche celebrity with the same name in this world, but after searching on his mobile phone, he found that there was no such person in history. Even if there were a few people with the same name occasionally, they had nothing to do with the title "Jiang Taigong".

In other words, the Jiang Ziya mentioned by Wang Lengqiu and the Jiang Ziya in his knowledge are probably the same person.

"You don't fit in with this world."

Considering what the other party said when they first met, Han Zhou found it hard not to suspect that Wang Lengqiu was his "fellow countryman" - a time traveler who also came from Earth.

What puzzled him was that even if Wang Lengqiu was really a time traveler like him, he shouldn't know his identity as a time traveler. But the other party didn't seem surprised at all to hear the story of Jiang Taigong fishing from him.

"Speaking of which, this guy seems to have known me when I was a child. Could we be time travelers from the same family? But we are two years apart in age..."

Han Zhou complained in his heart, thought for a moment, and decided to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Wang Lengqiu——

If the other party is really a time traveler, then that would be a big problem.

And if the other party is not a time traveler, then the problem will be even bigger.

"Senior Wang Lengqiu, can you come with me for a moment?"

He stood up and looked back at Wang Lengqiu, "I have something I want to talk to you about."

The latter did not say anything, but stood up silently, his long hair fluttering in the wind, and his thin figure seemed as if it could be blown down by the wind.

"Han Zhou, what are you doing..."

Ouyang Lianyu looked at Han Zhou in confusion, with a complicated expression, thinking that he wanted to talk to Wang Lengqiu about the past.

"It's okay, let's just chat."

Han Zhou smiled and took Wang Lengqiu to a tree not far away. Everyone could see the figures of the two but could not hear their voices.

Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at Han Zhou's back with disdain and asked, "What do you think these two people will talk about?"

"It should be something from the past." Zhong Yin also looked at the two from a distance, "Didn't they know each other when they were young?"

"But didn't Senior Sister Wang Lengqiu say that she had never seen Junior Brother when she was a child?"

Zhong Ling was a little confused, but Han Zhou was not around at the moment and there was no one to help her relay the question, so she had to take out her cell phone and type.

Xiao Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced at the message on her phone, then shook her head and said, "Sister Zhong Ling, you are too trusting. You can't just believe everything they say. I bet that guy has definitely seen Han Zhou before."

"Why do you say that?" Ouyang Lianyu asked curiously.

Although she thought so too, she couldn't be as sure as Xiao Xiaoxiao.

Zhong Ling was a little concerned about Xiao Xiaoxiao's address to her. She had heard many people call her senior sister, but this was the first time she heard someone call her Sister Zhong Ling. She couldn't help but feel happy.

But she felt a little strange. She and this cute school girl were not actually very familiar with each other. Why could she call her by her name so naturally?

Xiao Xiaoxiao observed the two people in the distance, pouted her lips and explained: "Look at the way that guy looks at Han Zhou, it's obviously different from the way he looks at other people. If he didn't know Han Zhou before, how could he treat him so specially?"

"Indeed it is."

Han Zhou is special in Wang Lengqiu's mind, and everyone present can feel it clearly.

"I really want to hear what they are talking about..."

Xiao Xiaoxiao muttered again, "Why not pick a good time to send us away to chat when Gu Zheng and Mo Yixia are not around? If these two were a couple before, what if their old feelings rekindle while chatting? This stinky scumbag..."

Everyone smiled awkwardly, and they all heard the strong resentment in Xiao Xiaoxiao's tone, especially when the other party said the word "stinking scumbag", there was a feeling of contempt and helpless exhaustion.

Could it be that this child really likes Han Zhou too...

Ouyang Lianyu was in a complicated mood. While she was worried about Xiao Xiaoxiao's future, she suddenly had an idea. Han Zhou's popularity with the opposite sex was ridiculous. What's more, he was surrounded by outstanding girls. It was really difficult to make a choice. It seemed that it was understandable for him to be a scumbag...

Do not!
Ouyang Lianyu, what on earth are you thinking about!
She soon realized that her idea was very dangerous. Love should be loyal and last a lifetime for a couple. She could understand Han Zhou, but she could never accept this child's attitude towards love!

Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Lianyu quickly put aside those messy thoughts and subconsciously thought of another question -

Faithful and faithful, a couple for life... Will I be able to meet such a partner in the future?
……

Of course Han Zhou couldn't hear the conversation between Xiao Xiaoxiao and others in the distance. Although he had enhanced hearing, he still couldn't hear clearly because the distance was too far. It was precisely based on his current hearing that he chose to be frank with Wang Lengqiu under this tree.

After all, what he is going to talk about next is one of the deepest secrets he has hidden for many years.

Winter is the season when all things wither, and the tree above their heads is no exception. The leaves have long since fallen off, leaving only bare branches that cannot block even half an inch of sunlight, and the sunlight without much warmth falls entirely on their faces.

Wang Lengqiu stood quietly under the tree. She didn't seem curious at all why Han Zhou called her over. She just looked at him silently, as if she would keep looking at him as long as he didn't speak.

Han Zhou thought he was thick-skinned enough to ignore most looks. But ever since he found out that he and Wang Lengqiu might have a complicated relationship, he inexplicably developed a feeling of guilt, and soon felt uncomfortable when being looked at.

But Wang Lengqiu didn't seem to understand the ways of the world. Even though he coughed several times, the other party didn't show any intention of looking away.

But in fact, Wang Lengqiu was not ignorant of the ways of the world, otherwise she would not have spoken up to help him out many times last night, nor would she have responded when he called her "Senior Sister Wang Lengqiu" again and again.

You have to know that when there was no one around before, the other party would never tire of asking him to call the other party "Qiuqiu" or "Qiuqiu".

The reason why I didn't say this these two days was obviously because I was worried about causing trouble for him.

Thinking of this, Han Zhou's mood became a little complicated. Seeing that Wang Lengqiu was still staring at him intently, he simply let her go and called out softly.

"Senior Sister Wang Lengqiu?"

"Yeah." Wang Lengqiu nodded slightly.

Han Zhou decided to get straight to the point. He looked into the other person's eyes and asked, "How do you know that Jiang Taigong is Jiang Ziya?"

Under his nervous gaze, Wang Lengqiu tilted his head: "Do you know that this is strange?"

"You didn't understand what I meant." Han Zhou said patiently, "I mean, how did you know that Jiang Taigong is Jiang Ziya?"

Wang Lengqiu thought carefully for a moment and replied, "From you."

"From me?" Han Zhou was stunned. "What do you mean? Have I ever told you about this?"

He didn't remember that he had the habit of telling others who Jiang Ziya was.

"No." Wang Lengqiu shook his head slightly.

"Then why do you say you learned this from me?"

Wang Lengqiu stopped talking, and it was unclear whether he didn't know how to answer or didn't want to answer.

Han Zhou had a headache. He knew that he was already doing well. If it were someone else, Wang Lengqiu would probably have replied with "thank you" several times.

"Okay, let me ask it another way."

He sighed and asked patiently, "Don't you find it strange when you heard me talk about Jiang Taigong fishing?" If you were also a time traveler, then when you suddenly heard information from your past life from someone in another world, you should be as shocked as he was.

Unless the time traveler is uneducated or comes from a foreign country, he doesn't even know the story of Jiang Taigong fishing.

Wang Lengqiu obviously did not meet either of the above two situations. After all, she knew that Jiang Taigong was Jiang Ziya.

Wang Lengqiu was silent for a moment, then asked in confusion: "Should I feel strange?"

"It's not a question of whether I should be surprised or not. What I mean is... yes, what I mean is, aren't you curious about my identity?"

"Not curious."

"why?"

"Because I know who you are."

Han Zhou's heart trembled, and just as he was about to ask, he heard the other party say in a very confident tone, "You are a matchstick man."

Han Zhou: "..."

Okay, I almost forgot about this. I also have the title of a stickman.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he wanted to say loudly, "To tell you the truth, I am actually a time traveler. If you are from the same hometown, just deduct one point." However, he was worried that if he guessed wrong, his identity would be exposed. So he had to resist the urge and asked the question in a different way, or to make a connection.

That’s right, if everyone is a time traveler, then we can definitely communicate with each other using the common sense that all time travelers know!
Han Zhou thought for a moment and realized that “odd things change but even things don’t change” could not be used. After all, this formula also existed in this world. However, he could try the well-known ancient poems.

Thinking of this, he had an idea and asked tentatively: "The moonlight shines brightly in front of the bed?"

Wang Lengqiu looked at him, then looked up at the sky and tilted his head.

Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was clear - what moonlight?
Han Zhou did not give up and continued to ask: "Sleep in spring and don't know when it's dawn?"

Wang Lengqiu hesitated for a moment, looked down at her small breasts, and said seriously: "I don't think they are small."

Han Zhou: "..."

"Um...Senior Wang Lengqiu, are you sure you're not kidding?"

"determine."

"But what I just said was actually a poem..."

"Me too."

"What are you?" Han Zhou was stunned.

“I’m also talking about poetry.”

As if worried that he didn't understand, Wang Lengqiu patiently added, "Lengqiu doesn't feel small."

The air immediately became quiet.

Han Zhou was silent for a long time: "Senior sister, you are really a genius in poetry."

According to this sentence structure, a series of classic poems can be derived, such as "The summer does not feel small", "The bells do not feel small", "The zither does not feel small", etc.

No, the phrase "the zither doesn't feel small" is not acceptable...

Wang Lengqiu seemed unable to hear the complex emotions in Han Zhou's tone and nodded slightly.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

In the following time, Han Zhou used many methods to test whether Zhong Ling was a time traveler, including but not limited to Tang and Song poems, classic allusions, famous sayings, and even popular memes about basketball and chicken. In the end, he confirmed one thing -

Wang Lengqiu should not be a time traveler.

If he really was a time traveler, after such a long period of testing, even if he wanted to play dumb, it would be difficult to completely hide his flaws. Moreover, he was just short of saying "I am a time traveler" out loud, so there was no need for Wang Lengqiu to hide it from him.

But the question is, since Wang Lengqiu is not a time traveler, how does she know Jiang Ziya?

It's impossible that he really heard it from me, right?

Han Zhou originally thought that this "frankness" would answer many of his doubts, but who knew that it would only create more doubts.

But he did not lose heart. Since he could not confirm this matter for the time being, he could start by confirming other things. There must be some gains.

So he asked, "Senior, I heard that we knew each other when we were young?"

Teacher Ouyang asked Wang Lengqiu this question last night, but he got a negative answer. He wanted to see if he would get a different answer if he asked in person.

Wang Lengqiu shook his head: "I don't know him."

Han Zhou frowned slightly, then reacted and reminded: "Senior sister, don't worry, there is no one else here now, you can tell me the truth."

Unexpectedly, Wang Lengqiu answered very seriously: "I am telling the truth."

The truth? This is the truth?!

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, then asked blankly, "So you really didn't see me when you were a child?"

"Yes, but I didn't know you when we were kids."

"I've seen him but I don't know him..."

Han Zhou found it a little difficult to understand. Although Wang Lengqiu did not seem to be lying, the answer did not match his memory. Although he only had a vague memory, he did not think that the relationship between him and Wang Lengqiu would be so shallow.

Besides, if they had only met a few times, would Wang Lengqiu still remember this incident until today?
This is not reasonable.

It's so unreasonable.

"Senior, are you sure what you just said is true?" he confirmed again.

Wang Lengqiu nodded: "I won't lie to you."

Her voice was very soft, but it somehow gave people a very solemn feeling.

Han Zhou took a deep breath and said, "Then tell me, what is our relationship in the past and now?"

Wang Lengqiu fell silent and did not answer for a long time.

The sun gradually shifted in the sky, and the sunlight slanted on the girl's face. It was a pitiful face with no extra expression on it, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"You won't lie to me but you can choose to remain silent, right?"

Han Zhou expected Wang Lengqiu to have this reaction, so he smiled indifferently. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Xiao Xiaoxiao's anxious voice behind him.

"Oh no, Han Zhou, Gu Zheng and Mo Yixia fell into the water!"
