Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 414: Last wish???

"So… this is why my parents decided to come to visit me next week?"

Under the warm light, Ouyang Lianyu wiped her wet hair with a towel while looking at Han Zhou, who was sitting in the wheelchair with an embarrassed expression, with a helpless smile.

As soon as she left the bathroom, she heard from the other party everything that had happened on the phone. She also learned that after hearing Han Zhou's last words, her parents immediately decided to visit her next week to see for themselves whether she was living a good life.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Ouyang, I didn't mean it..." Han Zhou sighed. He didn't expect that his words would have the opposite effect. Not only did it not make Teacher Ouyang's parents feel that she was living a good life, but it also brought the Japanese into the village.

I shouldn't have added drama to myself if I had known this earlier.

"Are you still embarrassed?"

Ouyang Lianyu rolled her eyes at him helplessly, then shook her head and laughed, saying in a nonchalant tone, "Well, it has nothing to do with you. My parents had planned to come and see me anyway, and it has nothing to do with whether you said this or not. At most, you just brought their plans forward."

"Doesn't it still matter?" Han Zhou felt a little guilty.

"Some things have to be faced sooner or later. There is no point in avoiding them. This is the teacher's problem, and it is also your problem. I intend to teach you this principle by setting an example myself." Ouyang Lianyu smiled, "Besides, I have missed them all these years, so it is only right that I meet them."

Han Zhou understood what the other party meant. It was clearly a reference to his two-timing. He muttered guiltily, "I'm not trying to avoid it anymore..."

"is it?"

Ouyang Lianyu studied his expression and a gentle smile appeared on her face, "So the teacher won't run away anymore."

Seeing that the other party still looked troubled, she felt angry and amused. She stood up and put the towel back in the bathroom, and took out a hair dryer from the bedroom, "Okay, if you really feel sorry for the teacher, come and help the teacher blow dry her hair."

"it is good."

Han Zhou took the hair dryer and stood behind the sofa. After thinking for a while, he reminded, "Let me tell you in advance, I don't have any skills in drying hair. Don't be angry if something goes wrong."

"When I was in a wheelchair, you dared to push me around the school every day. Why are you so careful today?" Ouyang Lianyu smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, I won't be angry unless you blow it into fire."

"It seems that you, teacher, have had experience in making a hair dryer spray fire." Han Zhou joked and started the hair dryer.

Ouyang Lianyu sighed, and suddenly felt that the other party’s attitude before was more correct. If she had known earlier, she would have acted a little angrier just now.

The hot wind moved back and forth above her head, giving her a very comfortable feeling. She had a headache. Han Zhou was really full of lies, or he was pretending to be modest. It was obvious that he had practiced the technique of blowing hair many times and was quite skilled.

I just don't know who the training object is...

"Teacher Ouyang, your mother seems to think I'm your boyfriend. What should I do? I can't wait for your parents to come and pretend to be your boyfriend to deal with them, right?"

While he was thinking, Han Zhou's joking voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Han Zhou didn't think that he would be forced to continue playing the role of Teacher Ouyang's boyfriend. After all, the other party had just firmly stated that "there is no point in escaping". It seemed that he had made all preparations to confront his parents. There was no need for him to find a fake boyfriend. He said this purely as a joke.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ouyang Lianyu kept her head down and did not respond, as if she had fallen asleep.

No...he's not asleep at all, it's obvious that he's feeling guilty!

Han Zhou suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and the smile on his face gradually froze.

"Teacher Ouyang?"

"Teacher Ouyang?"

"Teacher Ouyang."

After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and looked at the other person's thick hair expressionlessly, "There is no point in running away. Aren't you going to set an example yourself..."

"Stop talking, I heard it!" Ouyang Lianyu was too shy to continue pretending to be dead, so she stammered, "Um...you...you're right."

"What's right?" Han Zhou's expression eased a little. "You want to set an example and admit it bravely?"

"No...I really need you to pretend to be my boyfriend when the time comes..."

Ouyang Lianyu's cheeks were burning. She was very glad that Han Zhou couldn't see her face at this moment, otherwise he would definitely see the blush on her face. Asking her students to pretend to be her boyfriend was embarrassing just thinking about it, let alone saying it out loud...

At this moment, a hot current suddenly hit her from the side. She turned her head and was immediately startled. She saw that Han Zhou had moved his face closer to her with a scrutinizing look on his face.

The blush on her face intensified, and she quickly distanced herself from the other person, tightening the collar of her pajamas, and asked in a panic, "What are you doing?"

"Nothing." Han Zhou sighed, and stood up to continue to help her blow dry her hair. "I just wanted to see when you became so shameless, teacher."

"No, don't say that to the teacher..." Ouyang Lianyu wanted to refute, but she really didn't have the confidence.

Han Zhou cleared his throat and imitated the other person's previous tone and said: "Some things have to be faced sooner or later. There is no point in avoiding them. This is the teacher's problem, and it is also your problem. I..." "Stop talking!"

Seeing Han Zhou starting to repeat what he had just said, Ouyang Lianyu felt embarrassed and quickly stopped him from continuing.

She was already feeling guilty, so she couldn't put on the airs of a teacher. She hesitated for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly, "I know this is very difficult for you, but it doesn't matter if you don't want to."

After saying that, he fell silent and stopped talking.

"I didn't say I didn't want to, but you have to give me a reason, right?"

Seeing that Ouyang Lianyu seemed to be in a low mood, Han Zhou stopped teasing her and raised his doubts seriously, "Aren't you going to tell your parents that you don't plan to fall in love for the time being?"

Ouyang Lianyu hummed, letting the other's large palm wander over her long hair. After a while, she spoke up, "Since you've already talked to my parents, you should be able to tell that they want me to find someone to marry as soon as possible."

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "But why do I feel like your mother is on your side?"

"She's on my side because she thinks you're my boyfriend and she likes you a lot." Ouyang Lianyu had a complicated look on her face. "If I didn't have a boyfriend, she would definitely stand on my dad's side. I have indeed decided not to run away anymore, but at least in the next few months, I will try my best to make my mother happy."

"Why?" Han Zhou wondered.

Ouyang Lianyu bit her lip and said, "Because it was my mother's last wish to see me find someone worthy of entrusting my life to."

"what?"

Question marks appeared on Han Zhou's head.

Your mother is fine, why did her last wish come true?
He immediately suspected that Teacher Ouyang was trying to trick him with a huge prank, but he also thought that the other party would never joke about such a thing. It was not until he heard the other party's story that he realized that the one who wanted to trick him was not Teacher Ouyang, but Teacher Ouyang's mother.

Of course, whether it was a scam or not is still debatable, but he always felt it was a bit strange.

According to Ouyang Lianyu, her mother was recently diagnosed with a serious illness and will soon pass away. She has all the hospitalization receipts and critical illness notices, which cannot be fake.

In fact, Ouyang Lianyu also felt that her mother did not seem to be seriously ill, but she knew her father. Although her father was rigid, he was a man who never lied. Even he said that the hospitalization was true, so the fact that her mother was in critical condition was obviously true.

Han Zhou really wanted to tell the other party that being hospitalized could be true, but being seriously ill and dying was not necessarily true. Mixing two things that seemed related but were actually not necessarily related could easily confuse others. This was the art of lying.

He suspected that this was a conspiracy of Teacher Ouyang's parents, but did not jump to conclusions. If this was true, it would be even better. Then he could pretend to be Teacher Ouyang's boyfriend and deceive them without any psychological burden.

Of course, before that, I need to ask Guzheng and Mo Yixia for their opinions.

Han Zhou vaguely guessed that perhaps it was because of his consideration for Guzheng and Yixia's feelings that Teacher Ouyang was so conflicted.

Speaking of which, this should be the thing that Teacher Ouyang wanted to ask of me as mentioned in the activity mission. If I agree to it, does it mean I have accepted the mission?
He muttered in his heart, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and said suspiciously: "No, Teacher Ouyang, if you want to find someone worthy of entrusting your life to, you shouldn't look for me. After all, we are a teacher-student relationship. Although I don't mind, but..."

"It's enough that you don't mind."

Ouyang Lianyu was looking down at her phone, seemingly absent-minded, and subconsciously added, "As long as you don't mind, you are the best person to pretend to be my boyfriend."

Han Zhou was stunned.

As if realizing that her words were ambiguous, Ouyang Lianyu's breathing stagnated, and she quickly added, "Because I know you well enough, and you know me well enough, this way it won't be easy to be exposed when the time comes."

"Of course I know the reason. Why are you in such a hurry to explain?" Han Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I have to call Yixia and Guzheng first. If they agree, I will help you."

"Thank you."

Ouyang Lianyu nodded first, then shook her head and said hesitantly, "How about I do it?"

After saying that, he called Guzheng without further ado and told her what happened hesitantly.

To be honest, this is also a very embarrassing thing. Given the relationship between Han Zhou and Gu Zheng, it is like asking the other person "Can you lend me your boyfriend for a few days?"

Gu Zheng on the other end of the phone said that this was Han Zhou's business and there was no need to ask for her opinion, but in fact she was very happy and agreed to her request very readily. She also took the initiative to ask if she needed help, as if she didn't think much about it.

After a brief thought, Mo Yixia also said that she could lend Han Zhou to her for a few days, but she made a request, which was that the meeting time must be set on Sunday.

After hanging up the phone, Ouyang Lianyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She had already prepared herself to be scolded, but she didn't expect things to go unexpectedly smoothly. Both of them were easier to talk to than she thought.

In fact, the reason why she insisted on letting Han Zhou pretend to be her boyfriend was not to embarrass Han Zhou, but because her mother had sent a message not long ago, stating by name that she wanted to meet Han Zhou, but did not give a reason.

I haven't been home to fulfill my filial duties for a long time. Now that my mother is critically ill, all I can do is to meet her requirements as much as possible.

but……

Why does mother insist on seeing Han Zhou?
