Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 435 Late Wind

On the playground, Guzheng was a little absent-minded. After making sure that she had never seen the tall boy in front of her before, she ignored him and lowered her head to think about other things.

"Guzheng small-chest..."

After a few seconds, she suddenly heard Wang Runxue beside her let out an anxious cry, but the voice quickly changed from panic to strange, as if she had seen something incredible, so that even the syllable of the last word was completely changed.

"Ok?"

Gu Zheng raised her head with a frown on her face, only to see Wang Runxue looking in one direction with her mouth wide open. Her expression was more like confusion than panic.

"what happened?"

She didn't understand and looked in the direction he was looking, but there was nothing there but a crowded crowd.

Gu Zheng suspected that Wang Runxue was teasing her, so she held her shoulder and was about to ask her to explain what she meant by "small breasts". The next second, she saw the crowd parting to form a path. Han Zhou, who was in a wheelchair, stood outside the crowd, waved to this side with a smile, followed by Xiao Xiaoxiao, Wang Lengqiu, and Zhong Ling, who was responsible for pushing the wheelchair.

It was obvious that Han Zhou's treatment of being surrounded by several beauties was very enviable, not to mention that among them were the famous 'Dumb Bride' and 'Smiling Princess'. If it weren't for the two of them, many boys would not be willing to give way at all.

And when some people saw that the person this pretty boy was greeting was actually another beautiful woman, their eyes almost spit fire, and they wished they could burn this hateful scum to death.

"Han Zhou!"

When Gu Zheng saw the people coming, her eyes lit up at first, then dimmed imperceptibly. She didn't care about settling the score with Wang Runxue for the moment, and walked towards the few people with curved eyes.

She didn't notice at all that the tall boy who had just stood in front of her had disappeared at some point.

Wang Runxue's face was dull. She really wanted to tell Gu Zheng what had just happened, but Han Zhou on the other side stopped her with a look.

After being ignored by Guzheng, the tall boy seemed to be completely enraged. He raised his hand to hit Guzheng, but before he could slap her, he was suddenly covered by his mouth and dragged away by a man and a woman who looked a bit like Guzheng.

That's right, towed away.

The two men had grim expressions, just like gangsters in the movies. The woman among them was incredibly strong, and such a strong boy had no power to resist in her hands. Her heels plowed the lawn leaving two deep drag marks, but he couldn't escape the fate of being dragged away.

The movements were clean and neat, without any drag.

Wang Runxue vaguely guessed that these two people were probably Gu Zheng's parents, and the strange powers of mother and daughter were simply inherited from the same source.

I just don't know if it's an illusion. Recalling the dangerous look in their eyes when they turned around, Wang Runxue always felt that they seemed to want to drag me away with them.

why?
Did I just do something wrong?
Putting away his messy thoughts, Wang Runxue swallowed his saliva and trotted to catch up with Guzheng.

Gu Zheng didn't know that Wang Runxue was targeted by her parents because of the "small chest" comment. She walked to Han Zhou and pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Han Zhou, where did you go just now? Why didn't you finish watching my game?"

She spoke in a carefree tone, as if she didn't care about losing the game, but was just dissatisfied with everyone's "desertion".

"I signed up for a fun activity for tomorrow, but the registration deadline is almost up. If I don't hurry up, it will be too late." Han Zhou said with a smile.

"Fun events?" Gu Zheng looked suspicious. "Don't you hate sports? And you can't participate in the competition in your current condition, right?"

She pointed at the wheelchair under the other person with an expression that said, "Don't mess around."

Han Zhou smiled and lightly ignored the question: "I signed up for you as well."

"You signed me up too?"

Gu Zheng was not angry at his unauthorized decision, and asked curiously, "What project?"

"You'll find out later."

"You just keep me in suspense..."

Gu Zheng curled her lips and stopped asking. She looked around and asked, "Where are my parents? Why aren't Teacher Ouyang and Sister Yin here? I seemed to have seen Lin Anyu and Yaya just now. Have they all gone home?"

Han Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Gu and Sister Miao said they haven't been to school for a long time and wanted to relive the feeling of their student days. They are trying to build relationships with the young people. Teacher Ouyang is guiding them. Sister Yin has returned to the store. There are a lot of things going on in the store today, so Lin Anyu and the others have gone over to help."

Zhong Ling and others behind him had strange expressions on their faces. They really didn't expect that Han Zhou could actually describe committing a crime in public as "building relationships". It was a bit too far-fetched.

However, it is not wrong to say that Teacher Ouyang acted as a guide. You know, dragging someone away in broad daylight is not a trivial matter. If it weren't for Teacher Ouyang, who has an excellent reputation in the school, to help clear the way, Guzheng's parents probably wouldn't have been able to go far and the matter would have quickly become a big deal.

The reason why Ouyang Lianyu was willing to help was, of course, because of Han Zhou's repeated requests. Otherwise, even if she was also dissatisfied with the boy who wanted to play the guzheng, she would not have done such a ridiculous thing.

In addition, Xia Qing, the president of the student union, also expressed her willingness to help with the aftermath.

Of course, Han Zhou did not intend to turn a good university into a passionate one. He believed that Uncle Gu and Sister Miao knew their limits and would not do such criticized things as beating people in school. At most, they would just give a few verbal warnings.

Therefore, this matter will not cause any trouble.

As for whether it was necessary to make such a big fuss over such a small matter, he thought there was, it was just that guy's fault for choosing to cause trouble for Guzheng at this critical juncture.

Gu Zheng didn't know what everyone was thinking, and said suspiciously, "At their age, they're still trying to get in touch with young people. Aren't they afraid of scaring them..."

She knew her parents too well. Even though they didn't behave like adults at all, they shouldn't go and mingle with young people. She always felt that Han Zhou was fooling her, so she cast a tentative look at the girls behind Han Zhou. When she saw everyone nodding, she felt relieved.

They were indeed not afraid of scaring others because they were aiming to intimidate others from the beginning...several girls thought.

Standing next to Guzheng, Wang Runxue was hesitant to speak, wanting to muster up the courage to tell Guzheng the truth, but she soon backed off, fearing that she would also be dragged into the relationship.

At this time, Han Zhou suddenly smiled and said, "Let's go. The game is over. It's boring to stay on the playground. Let's walk around. It's been so long since we came to school, but we haven't walked around the school properly once."

"What's there to do in school..."

Although she said so, Guzheng still took the lead and walked out of the playground, as if she didn't want to stay here at all.

Looking at the girl's back, Zhong Ling and the others looked worried.

Xiao Xiaoxiao looked serious and whispered, "Han Zhou, according to the plan, we will all find excuses to leave later. I'll leave the task of comforting Gu Zheng to you."

Although Guzheng looked normal on the surface, everyone understood that she must be feeling very bad. She just didn't want to make everyone worry, so she pretended not to care.

Guzheng has a strong personality and rarely shows her vulnerable side to people around her, not even to her parents.

Therefore, it is not only meaningless for her to have friends and relatives comfort her, but it may even have a counterproductive effect. In comparison, it is safest to choose a representative to comfort her.

And Han Zhou is undoubtedly the best representative candidate.

If there is anyone in front of whom Gu Zheng is willing to completely tear off her mask of strength, it can only be Han Zhou.

"Well, leave it to me."

Han Zhou nodded. This was the task assigned to him by Uncle Gu and Sister Miao, and he naturally did not refuse to do it.

In fact, he did not tell everyone that he discovered that someone in the Guzheng team fell down and lost on purpose. The thing had already happened, and there was no need to say it out loud and affect everyone's mood. They could not catch the girl who lost on purpose and beat her up, and it was even more impossible to force her to admit the fact of intentional defeat and hold the competition again.

No matter what, Guzheng has already lost.

Although he hoped that Guzheng could keep winning, to be honest, no one in this world can always win and never lose. Defeat is inevitable, it is just a matter of time. In Han Zhou's opinion, this defeat was a big blow to Guzheng, but if you think about it from another perspective, this may not be a bad thing.

This is also the reason why he is too lazy to cause trouble to that girl for the time being.

Of course, it's only temporary.

He absolutely could not tolerate someone choosing to hurt Guzheng using the thing she cared about most. Even if he didn't beat or scold her, he would teach that girl a due lesson.

Han Zhou can do these things by himself, there is no need to trouble others.

As for why he took everyone away with him, it was not to seek justice from anyone, but because he knew that Guzheng hated being seen losing, so he disappeared for a short while.

Apart from that, he did not lie. He had indeed just gone to ask Senior Xia Qing about the fun projects. Who would have thought that he would unexpectedly learn the whole cause and effect of the matter from her.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have thought that this was actually a revenge from three years ago.

As one of the masterminds, he has already taught the guy named Chen Fei a profound lesson. As for the other mastermind He Ling, he has not yet figured out how to deal with him.

In fact, Han Zhou had been hesitating whether he should tell Guzheng about this.

No matter from which angle, it seems that there is not much meaning in letting Guzheng know about this matter. Instead, it will only add to the trouble. After thinking about it, he decided to wait until he has talked to Guzheng before making any plans.

He respects Gu Zheng's decision, whether in the past, present, or future.

Of course, there is one exception.

"What are you guys still doing standing there? Aren't you supposed to go for a walk?"

Guzheng, who had already walked to the gate of the stadium, shouted loudly, as if she was dissatisfied with the slow movements of the few people.

"right away!"

Han Zhou responded loudly, and left the playground with Zhong Ling and others and came to Guzheng.

"Why are you so slow? Are you hiding something from me?"

Gu Zheng turned around and looked at everyone suspiciously, her fair cheeks glowing slightly in the sunlight.

Perhaps because summer has passed and she hasn't been out in the sun very often recently, the girl's skin looks a lot whiter, like faded wheat.

"No." Han Zhou shook his head honestly.

Wang Runxue opened his mouth, and felt threatened the next moment - the soft flesh on his waist was pinched tightly by Xiao Xiaoxiao. He couldn't help but gasp and had to give up the idea of ​​telling the secret.

In fact, she also knew that what Han Zhou and the others said made sense. Guzheng did need someone to comfort her, but the person responsible for comforting her should not be this stinky scumbag.

Even though she knew Han Zhou was the best candidate.

"Are you sure?" Gu Zheng looked unconvinced.

"Really not. If you don't believe me, ask Wang Runxue."

"Ah? I don't know, probably not..."

The few people walked away while talking and laughing, leaving a row of long shadows on the ground, until they disappeared from He Ling's sight.

"very nice."

She looked at Gu Zheng's back reluctantly, "It seems that Gu Zheng has a lot of good friends now. Is the boy sitting in the wheelchair the one that Gu Zheng likes?"

"Ah."

Mo Yixia raised her hand to tuck the hair beside her ears, "But he is mine."

"You are really frank." He Ling smiled bitterly, "I may not be able to compare with you in this aspect of Guzheng."

Mo Yixia didn't respond to this and asked casually, "Aren't you going to apologize? Or say goodbye."

"No need. Gu Zheng is doing well now. There's no need for me to bother her anymore. To be honest, I don't even know how to talk to her."

He Ling was silent for a long time, as if imagining the scene of chatting with Gu Zheng in his mind, and suddenly he smiled bitterly.

"Besides...she probably doesn't want to see me again, after all, I just destroyed the wish she had held on to for so long."

"You're right. There must be a very important reason why Gu Zheng was so obsessed with the first place. Compared to that, my motivation at the time was just a play. I have no right to ask her to give up her wish and give in to me. It was right for her to refuse to give up the competition at the beginning."

He Ling bent down, bowed sincerely to Mo Yixia, and said softly, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to figure out the problem that has troubled my heart for so many years today."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Just as she was about to walk down the stairs, the lazy voice of a young girl suddenly sounded behind her.

"Are you sure you have figured out everything?"

He Ling's body trembled, but he didn't look back.

"Why do you have to keep it in your heart when you can understand it by just asking?"

These words seemed to pierce He Ling's heart, and she struggled: "But..."

"Are you worried that the girl doesn't want to see you? Or even afraid that she will start to hate you after knowing what happened today?"

"Um……"

"You still don't really understand."

The air was quiet for a long time. Just when He Ling didn't know whether to turn back, the girl's voice sounded behind him again. It was hard to tell whether her tone was regretful or some other emotion.

"Haven't you already remembered what kind of person that guy is?"

"..."

When He Ling left the gymnasium in a daze, it was windy outside.

She was very afraid of the cold and had been in the habit of wrapping herself tightly since autumn. But perhaps because she was too distracted when leaving the gym, she forgot to put on her scarf, so she was shivering in the biting cold wind as soon as she went out.

It was not until I hurriedly put on a scarf that the coldness around my body was relieved.

She didn't know what she was thinking of, but half a minute after putting on the scarf, she suddenly took off the glove on her right hand while there was no one around, and imitated the way she remembered the guzheng not long ago, carefully raised her arm and raised her index finger, making a "first" gesture.

This was the first breeze she felt in this early winter.
