Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 441 After the game
After meeting Han Zhou Guzheng in the milk tea shop, Gu Lang and Miao Yaner boarded the return bus.

Although they heard that there would be a Guzheng competition tomorrow, the two did not plan to stay here any longer. They were relieved to see that their daughter was not affected by this failure.

"Sure enough, it was the right decision to let Han Zhou comfort Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng seems to be more energetic than before."

Gu Lang looked at the scenery outside the window that was rapidly receding, with a smile on his face, and suddenly changed the subject, "But are we really leaving like this?"

"What else? Stop the student who wants to attack Gu Zheng at the school gate and beat him up?"

Miao Yan'er looked down at her nails and said, "Although I really want to do this, it will have a bad influence and will prevent Xiao Zheng from making friends at school."

Gu Lang was speechless: "That's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying, don't you think there are too many girls around Han Zhou? It's like..."

"Just like you in the past?" Miao Yan'er looked over with a smile.

"It does look a bit like me back then."

Gu Lang smiled awkwardly but didn't deny it. Then he showed a vigilant look and got down to business. "Based on my years of experience, let's not talk about other people. Wang Lengqiu is definitely interested in Han Zhou. And that girl is so pretty. What do you think will happen if Han Zhou falls in love with someone else in the future?"

"Don't project your own thoughts onto Han Zhou. Han Zhou is different from you." Miao Yan'er glanced at her husband.

"What do you know?"

As an expert in the field of scumbags, Gu Lang still expressed doubts about Han Zhou. "Don't you think that even Teacher Ouyang and Han Zhou are too close? As long as Han Zhou opens his mouth, Teacher Ouyang is willing to help us clean up the mess. She even lent her wheelchair to Han Zhou. This is not just an ordinary teacher-student relationship."

Miao Yan'er looked at him strangely: "Are you trying to say that Teacher Ouyang also likes Han Zhou? I warn you, don't say such things casually."

"Of course that's not what I meant!"

Gu Lang quickly explained, "I just want to say that Han Zhou seems to have a very good relationship with the girls around him. They are definitely not just ordinary friends. I believe you can see that they are even willing to team up to help Han Zhou lie..."

"Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."

Miao Yan'er said helplessly, "Aren't you just saying that it is necessary for Han Zhou to keep a distance from those girls, otherwise they might become Xiao Zheng's love rivals in the future? Do you think I haven't worried about this kind of thing?"

"Then why did you keep stopping me from giving that kid a proper warning?"

"Xiao Zheng was sitting right next to them. When you reminded Han Zhou to keep his distance from other girls, wasn't that Xiao Zheng's way of expressing his feelings in disguise? If it was our turn to help Xiao Zheng make the decision, they would have been together a long time ago."

Miao Yan'er shook her head and continued, "But you also know that Xiao Zheng has never been a timid person since she was a child. She obviously likes Han Zhou so much but doesn't confess her feelings. She must have some concerns. We can try to help her solve this kind of thing, but we can't interfere casually."

"Besides, although we have always regarded Han Zhou as our son-in-law, we cannot really interfere in his life. This child's life experience is pitiful. We must give him enough respect, unless he really hurts Xiao Zheng one day."

In Miao Yaner's heart, Han Zhou has always been a well-behaved child. Like Guzheng, he had few friends in high school. Now he has made so many friends in college. Although there are more females than males, it is also a good thing.

"I have never considered that boy as my son-in-law. He has eaten at our house so many times. What's wrong with me disciplining him?"

After a pause, Gu Lang lowered his voice and said sourly, "Besides, why didn't you respect me when I made friends with the opposite sex before..."

"Ok?"

Seeing his wife's scrutinizing gaze, he tactfully shut his mouth.

After a while, he couldn't help but said, "We can't really do nothing, right? If Gu Zheng is really heartbroken by that boy, it will be too late to do anything then."

It's not about worrying about something that may happen, but about preparing for a rainy day.

Gu Zheng has been sad once. It was because they did nothing at that time that Gu Zheng's current personality was shaped. No matter how they tried to remedy the situation afterwards, it was useless. He didn't want to see the same thing happen again.

Seeing her husband's sad face, Miao Yan'er said with a smile: "Have you forgotten how I got together with you in the first place?"

Gu Lang was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly: "You mean..."

"Let's leave the young people's affairs to them for now. It's not time for us to step in yet."

Miao Yaner interrupted her husband and signaled him not to worry. She then tightened her coat and leaned back in the chair to take a nap.

"...Anyway, Xiao Zheng has a sure-fire way to win."

……

"We must win! We must win! Sister Guzheng must win! We will definitely win the championship tomorrow!"

Inside the pastry shop, Lin Youya waved her fists, cheering excitedly for Guzheng who had just arrived.

Of course she knew that Sister Guzheng lost today's game, so in order to comfort her, she decided to cheer for tomorrow's game from now on, hoping to make Sister Guzheng happier.

Seeing Yaya jumping up and down, Guzheng narrowed her eyes, walked up to the girl and touched her head: "Thank you, Yaya, I will try my best tomorrow. By the way, you seem to have grown taller. It seems that you have been eating well recently."

"Really?" Lin Youya's eyes lit up and she nodded excitedly. "I also feel that I have grown taller, but Big Stupid Pig always says it's my hallucination, or the insoles of my height-increasing shoes are higher than before. Anyway, it's impossible that I have grown taller, but I have never changed my height-increasing shoes!"

The girl looked aggrieved and seemed very dissatisfied with someone's slander.

Gu Zheng knew who the big stupid pig was that Yaya was talking about. She snorted coldly and immediately showed an indignant expression: "How dare you talk nonsense? Come on, I'll take you to find Lin Anyu to settle the score!"

"No, no, no."

But Lin Youya grabbed her, blinked slyly, and whispered, "Little sister is already helping me vent my anger."

As soon as the voice fell, the three of them heard Xiao Xiaoxiao's exasperated voice in the room at the same time: "Tell me! Do you dare to make fun of others with your height in the future? Is there anything wrong with the height-increasing shoes being a little higher?"

Then came Lin Anyu's begging for mercy: "I was wrong. I will never make fun of Yaya's height again..."

"Hmph! Remember to tell this to your good brother! Got it?"

"My dear brother...Okay, okay, I understand. I will definitely pass it on, I will definitely pass it on!"

"..."

Han Zhou and Gu Zheng looked at each other.

"...It seems that Xiaoxiao is not just trying to help Yaya vent her anger." Han Zhou curled the corner of his mouth.

"It also means killing the chicken to scare the monkeys." Gu Zheng added, trying not to laugh.

The three of them came into the house, only to see Lin Anyu sitting on a chair with his head down and repenting, while Xiao Xiaoxiao was standing in front of him angrily. Although she was obviously not as tall as the other, she exuded the aura of a big sister who was not easy to mess with.

Bai Tongtong sat aside and watched the show, her manners were dignified, and she had no intention of speaking for Lin Anyu. Seeing Han Zhou and Gu Zheng enter the room, she nodded and said with a smile: "You are here."

Han Zhou and Gu Zheng nodded and looked around: "Where are the others?"

Apart from these three people, no one else was seen in the store.

"Han Zhou, you are finally here!"

Seeing Han Zhou, Lin Anyu was as if he had been pardoned. He quickly ran over under Xiao Xiaoxiao's angry glare and explained, "Sister Yin is in the kitchen, and Senior Sister Zhong Ling and Senior Sister Wang Lengqiu went out to buy groceries. They asked us to stay here for dinner tonight."

According to the original plan, tonight should have been a celebration party for Guzheng, but he lost the afternoon's match after all, so he naturally wouldn't be so blind as to bring it up.

"Where is Wang Runxue?" Gu Zheng asked.

"She went out with him."

Lin Anyu carefully observed Gu Zheng's expression. Seeing that she looked normal, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to frantically wink at Han Zhou, suggesting that he help deal with the little kid who was glaring at him from behind.

Han Zhou understood and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, come out for a moment, I have something to ask you."

Xiao Xiaoxiao looked suspicious and saw through the two men's tricks at a glance, but still left the room with him.

In fact, Han Zhou did have something he wanted to ask Xiao Xiaoxiao, which was about a recent activity mission -

[You already know the correct way to use the mysterious kit. Please use the mysterious kit again at the right time next month and obtain important information from it. After completing the task, you will get an important opportunity.]

Although he knew the correct usage of the mysterious sachet, he still couldn't figure out what the so-called "correct time" was after thinking about it for a long time. He could only pin his hopes on Xiao Xiaoxiao, hoping that she knew something.

Of course, he would definitely not directly follow the task prompt and ask Xiao Xiaoxiao if she knew the correct time. Instead, he changed the way he said it and asked if there was any day next month that was very important to the other party, or had some special meaning.

Han Zhou’s idea was very simple. Since this task was closely related to Xiao Xiaoxiao, the clue about the correct time might be on the other party.

And if even Xiao Xiaoxiao doesn't know the correct time and can't give any clues, then he can only guess blindly.

The mysterious trick can only be purchased once a month, and one mysterious trick can be used three times. He still has one trick left, which means he has a total of five chances of trial and error next month. He plans to use all five chances and try his best to find the right day to complete the task.

Of course it’s not all for the mission rewards.

Compared to the reward, he was more interested in the important information mentioned in the task prompt - since there was a chance to recover his lost memories, he certainly would not let this opportunity go.

In addition, there is another important point.

Since they have made up their minds to fulfill their wishes, Xiao Xiaoxiao's wish is naturally no exception.

...But he still doesn't know what Xiao Xiaoxiao's wish is.
