Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 417 Relay Race

At 7:30 in the morning, Han Zhou got up on time at the urging of his biological clock. After eating the lean meat porridge prepared by Ouyang Lianyu, they went to school together.

I have to say, it feels good to be taken care of by someone. Although Han Zhou doesn't like to have everything handed to him, perhaps because he has been alone for too long, the moment he wakes up and smells the fragrance of food outside the house, he can't help but feel a little touched.

On a winter morning, the sun seemed to have difficulty waking up and was slow to show its head. A little sunlight passed through the clouds and lazily fell on the earth, making the crystal dewdrops hanging on the branches sparkle.

Suddenly, he felt a cool touch on his hand. Han Zhou looked down at the dew drops dripping on the back of his hand and said with emotion, "The weather forecast said that it will snow in Lincheng this year. I don't know if it's true."

Although he could indeed feel that the weather was getting colder and colder and there was a high possibility of snow this year, the credibility of the Lincheng Meteorological Observatory was not high in his mind, which made him subconsciously worried about the possibility of snow this year.

He hasn't seen snow for many years since he traveled through time, so he is quite looking forward to it snowing this year.

"I don't know either, but this year is indeed colder than usual." Ouyang Lianyu behind him smiled.

"Teacher, you are not from Lincheng, right? Does it snow in your hometown in winter?" Han Zhou asked curiously.

"Occasionally, I've only seen snow twice since I was a child. But both times it only lasted less than a day and then stopped. The snow melted the next day. So apart from that time when I went to climb the snowy mountains, I've never seen real snow."

Ouyang Lianyu smiled and said, "Oh, I probably haven't told you yet, the teacher is from Yecheng, which is very far from Lincheng. It takes at least a day and a night to get there by high-speed rail."

"It's so far..." Han Zhou looked thoughtful and said while stroking his chin, "That would be troublesome."

"Trouble?" Ouyang Lianyu was stunned. "Why do you say that?"

Han Zhou said seriously, "Since your parents are coming to see you, they must be here to test your boyfriend. Where the man is from is usually one of the important factors to consider. Our hometowns are so far away from each other, they may have already started to have objections to this marriage before they even met me."

"What marriage? We are just..."

Ouyang Lianyu blushed. She only asked Han Zhou to pretend to be her boyfriend, but she didn't expect that he had already thought about getting married. She was about to correct him, but she could see that Han Zhou looked serious, as if he was really considering helping her deal with her parents' affairs. Her expression softened a little.

"It doesn't matter. The teacher will find a way to deal with these things. You just need to do what you should do."

Han Zhou's worries are not unreasonable. If she wants her parents to stop thinking about her going on blind dates all the time, it is definitely not enough to just find a fake boyfriend. She must make them think that her boyfriend is a person worthy of marriage, so that they will not interfere in the affairs between the two of them in the future.

Ouyang Lianyu suddenly realized that she had to accomplish her goal in one fell swoop, so that most of the problems could be solved at once. She didn't want to continue asking Han Zhou to pretend to be her boyfriend in the future. Even if she had to use lies to fill in lies, it was enough for her to be the only one lying.

Han Zhou nodded. What he should do is to play the role of a qualified boyfriend. After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Teacher Ouyang, don't you have any plans to fall in love in the future?"

Ouyang Lianyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course there is, but not now, and compared to blind dates, I hope to find someone I really like."

Han Zhou became interested and asked tentatively: "Have you never had someone you like since you were a child?"

"No."

Ouyang Lianyu did not show any shame or anger as he had imagined, but smiled calmly, "Many people around me have already married and had children, but I seldom think about this."

Han Zhou understood. After all, Teacher Ouyang focused on studying mathematics most of the time, so he seemed careless in other aspects. He was afraid that he really didn't have much time to think about love.

Curious, he continued, "Even if you don't have someone you like, you must have an ideal type, right? Haven't you ever thought about what your future partner would be like?"

Ouyang Lianyu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sighed, as if she was so angry that she laughed. She couldn't help but reach out and knock on the other person's head, saying helplessly: "There are so many students in Linda University, and you are probably the only one who dares to ask the teacher about this kind of thing."

Han Zhou also felt that he was being a little presumptuous, but he was very thick-skinned and said calmly: "After all, I have to pretend to be the teacher's boyfriend. I want to try my best to be your ideal type."

"You..."

Ouyang Lianyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She knocked on the other person's head again, raised her hand to tuck up the scattered hair beside her ears, shook her head and smiled, "That's not necessary. It's enough for you to stay like this."

"Keep it like this..."

Han Zhou hesitated for a moment, then suddenly widened his eyes and said incredulously, "Could it be that I am..."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Ouyang Lianyu interrupted him, looking helpless, "Two girls already like you the way you are now, there's no need to change. Besides, I don't think there's such a thing as an ideal type."

"why?"

"If ideal types really exist, why do you like Gu Zheng and Mo Yixia, two girls with completely different personalities?"

"Well, maybe it's because they are all very beautiful..."

Han Zhou was suddenly speechless. Two-timing was the most guilty thing he had ever done in his life. Even though he had made up his mind to face it calmly, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard Ouyang Lianyu mention it. He immediately calmed down and stopped asking any more questions.

"You." Ouyang Lianyu sighed, and also stopped talking, pushing the wheelchair towards the school.

The cold wind tore through the clouds and forced the lazy sun into the early morning sky.

The sunlight suddenly became bright, making the cheeks of the person sitting in the wheelchair glow slightly.

I don’t know if it’s because of the focusing effect of the dewdrops, but the other cheek seems to be slightly hot in the sun and gradually turns red.

……

If we don't count tomorrow's fun events, today is the last day of the sports meet. The total scores of each college will be calculated and announced in the afternoon. The college where Guzheng is ranked first is naturally the one that holds the helm, but the second place is very close. Therefore, today's team event is very important and will play a decisive role in the final ranking.

All team events were scheduled to be held today, including the 4×400m relay in which Guzheng participated, which was also her last event in this Games.

Team competitions test the ability of teamwork, but relay races don't focus on this. To put it bluntly, it depends on the individual abilities of the four athletes. Guzheng is confident that she can bring great advantages to the team, so she is determined to win today's competition.

She will definitely win today's game, and then confess her feelings to Han Zhou in one go!

The competition didn't start until two o'clock in the afternoon. There was nothing to do in the morning, so Guzheng came to the cafeteria and ate breakfast while looking down at her vocabulary book. Occasionally, when she looked up, she could see people around her whispering about her, but she didn't care, as she was used to it.

At this moment, Han Zhou pushed his wheelchair into the cafeteria and saw Gu Zheng sitting not far away. He immediately approached her and asked with a smile, "Why are you having breakfast now?"

"I slept a little late last night and just got up."

Gu Zheng looked up at him, her cheeks puffed up. She looked around and found that Han Zhou was the only one there. She asked in confusion, "Didn't Teacher Ouyang come with you?"

"She suddenly had something to do and is only free at noon, but she notified the senior, and the senior said she would come over later."

Han Zhou sighed and looked a little distressed. Everyone really treated him as an injured person who couldn't take care of himself. He thought that since Teacher Ouyang had to leave for something, he could finally be free for a while, but who knew that the other party immediately notified the senior schoolmate to take care of him.

"Why are you sighing so much? You don't know how much the boys in our class envy you. They say you are more emperor than the emperor."

Gu Zheng rolled her eyes at him and pouted, "What do you mean a man should have three wives and four concubines? You are a modern role model. Some people even want to learn from your experience."

Han Zhou's heart trembled, wondering which bastard was plotting against him behind his back? Wasn't this clearly an attempt to harm him?

Fortunately, Gu Zheng didn't mean to attack them indirectly. After she commented that those boys were just daydreaming, she stopped talking and pushed two fried dough sticks on the table over to her: "Do you want some?"

"No, I've already eaten."

Han Zhou shook his head, still a little nervous. After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively, "Guzheng, I don't really want to be the emperor. How about..."

"No."

Gu Zheng knew what he wanted to say, so she interrupted him immediately, picked up the fried dough sticks, broke them into small pieces and put them into the soy milk, and said unhappily, "Since you don't want to have the operation, then you must rest well, otherwise what if something goes wrong?"

She looked at Han Zhou with some dissatisfaction and warned him not to joke about his body.

"All right……"

Han Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Gu Zheng didn't think too much about it. She was just worried that she didn't take care of her body.

He waited silently for a while, and saw that Guzheng was just eating silently. She never took the initiative to ask about pretending to be Teacher Ouyang's boyfriend, and she didn't even look at him. He couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Given Gu Zheng's personality, even if she really didn't care about this matter at all, she would have taken the initiative to ask about the situation when they were alone together. Why was she so honest today?

Could it be that she actually cares about this matter and is even mad at me?

In fact, Guzheng didn’t want to ask, but she didn’t have the heart to ask.

As soon as she saw Han Zhou, the scene of her confessing her love to him in the afternoon subconsciously emerged in her mind. She was so nervous that the chopsticks in her hand were almost broken.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally and had even anticipated many possible developments last night, as soon as he saw Han Zhou's smiling face, all these things seemed to be thrown out of the window.

She had never been so nervous before, and she even dared not look Han Zhou in the eye.

Especially when she thought about the fact that they would be living together as a couple in the future, she felt both excited and uneasy, fearing that she would not be able to become the ideal girlfriend, so she kept her head down while eating.

I hope the senior sister can come sooner. I won’t be nervous if there is a third person here... Guzheng is secretly looking forward to it.

Just then, her cell phone rang suddenly.
