Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 447 This is a very new way to move forward
On the track, seeing that although Gu Zheng and Mo Yixia moved slowly, the whole process was relatively peaceful, Han Zhou, who was in the second stage, breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to the competition on the lawn.

Just go slow, the most important thing is to avoid any trouble. Unlike yesterday, Guzheng's teammate today is himself. He will cover for this game and win first place with everyone.

The main reason why Han Zhou is so confident is that although this competition is in the form of a relay race, it does not mean that the people in front will not be able to participate in subsequent competitions after finishing the race. Whether as foreign aid or as a think tank, they can help the people behind to complete the race.

In other words, people in the previous stages can provide intellectual or physical support for subsequent races, but only one person can be sent out at a time.

Like Mo Yisha, Han Zhou also vaguely felt that the adjustment of the rules of this competition might be related to himself. After all, even a segment like "wheelchair racing" was created, and it was hard not to see some kind of selfish motive. He just didn't know why Senior Xia Qing did this.

But in general, this is indeed an excellent way to break the deadlock. At least he no longer has to rack his brains to think about how to make Guzheng and Yixia win at the same time, and he doesn't have to face any choices.

Although there were some minor accidents and it was a little scary that Gu Zheng and Mo Yixia became teammates, it was better for them to be teammates than opponents. At present, it seemed that everything was moving in a good direction.

Senior Xia Qing, my superman!
Thanking Xia Qing for her gift again in his heart, Han Zhou withdrew his thoughts and looked at the other superman standing beside him. He said seriously: "Senior sister, thank you for helping me this time."

Her face is like a lotus emerging from water, and her waist is as slender as a willow swaying in the wind - the superman beside her is naturally Wang Lengqiu.

At first he didn't know that Mo Yixia had privately informed everyone not to team up with him today, including Wang Lengqiu. He thought that everyone had formed teams in advance because they didn't want their "love triangle" to be too involved. It was not until the draw not long ago that he vaguely understood the real reason.

In a sense, when Wang Lengqiu took the initiative to propose to team up with him, it was tantamount to "betraying" the group and breaking the agreement with Mo Yixia.

So it is no exaggeration to say that the other party really came to participate in today's competition entirely for him.

Han Zhou felt very guilty about this. After all, he seemed to have never given this girl a good look since the first time they met, and he was suspected of "playing" with her feelings since childhood. However, Wang Lengqiu not only never got angry with him, but also always treated him well without asking for anything in return.

To be honest, he didn't know how to respond to this feeling.

Wang Lengqiu was watching the game on the lawn. Hearing this, he tilted his head and asked, "Why should I say thank you?"

She was not being pretentious, she really seemed to have no idea why Han Zhou wanted to thank her.

"Because in order to help me, you broke the agreement between you and Yixia." Han Zhou said.

Wang Lengqiu thought about it for a while before he realized, "Are you referring to the time I said in front of everyone that I wanted to team up with you?"

"Yes." Han Zhou smiled bitterly, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have bothered you."

"No trouble."

Wang Lengqiu shook his head. There was not much expression on his pitiful face, but his tone was exceptionally gentle.

Han Zhou hesitated for a moment: "Next time you can reject me..."

"Are you unhappy to team up with me?" Wang Lengqiu turned his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"of course not……"

"Then why should I reject you?"

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and patiently explained: "What I mean is, if it is something that will cause you trouble, you don't have to accept it without thinking about it."

Wang Lengqiu thought for a moment and asked, "Will this matter cause you any trouble?"

"Of course not, what I'm saying is..."

"It won't cause any trouble to you, and it won't cause any trouble to me."

As if she had sensed Han Zhou's self-blame, the girl thought for a while longer this time and asked carefully, "Are you worried that Yixia will be unhappy?"

It seemed that after thinking it over, she felt that this was the only thing that would bother the boy in front of her.

Han Zhou sighed and was about to say that it had nothing to do with other people and that he should think more about himself, when he heard the other party continue to say, "Don't worry, I didn't break the agreement with her."

"At that time, Yixia said that I would not team up with you even if you begged me, but in fact, I wanted to team up with you anyway, whether you begged me or not." Wang Lengqiu explained seriously.

Han Zhou was stunned for two seconds: "Is there...any difference?"

"Have."

"What's the difference?"

"I already told you."

"..."

Han Zhou was about to say something but stopped himself. He almost forgot that this guy had his own impeccable logic and his train of thought was different from that of ordinary people. No wonder even Mo Yisha could never read her thoughts.

"Then why didn't you just approach me to team up in the first place?" he couldn't help but ask.

He didn't understand, since Wang Lengqiu wanted to team up with him so much, why didn't he take the initiative to speak up last night?

"Because you seemed to want to team up with others, I thought you would be unhappy to find you."

Wang Lengqiu exhaled lightly, his tone gentle.

"So when you said you wanted to team up with me, I was really happy."

The winter wind dispersed the clouds, making the girl's already soft voice even softer.

But Han Zhou could still hear it clearly.

Wang Lengqiu is not stupid. She knows that she is actually the last option. If everyone else had not already formed a team, Han Zhou would not consider choosing her as a teammate.

But she still said she was very happy.

And she was never one to joke.

A complex emotion surged into Han Zhou's heart.

Seeing Han Zhou staring at him blankly, Wang Lengqiu thought that he still hadn't gotten rid of his worries, so he patiently comforted him, "Don't worry, I volunteered to team up with you. If Yixia is still unhappy, I will apologize to her."

"I won't hold you back. In fact, I have always had the habit of running. Although I can't run as fast as Gu Zheng, I'm not slow either..."

"I say, Senior."

Han Zhou suddenly spoke, interrupting the girl.

"what happened?"

"sorry."

Wang Lengqiu tilted his head: "Why do you have to say sorry?"

Han Zhou did not explain, but just shook his head, took a deep breath and said: "I also volunteer to team up with you."

"I know."

Wang Lengqiu nodded slightly, remained silent for a moment, and asked as if to confirm, "Starting from now?"

This girl is not ignorant. On the contrary, perhaps her thoughts are more complicated than most people. It's just a little hard to understand. "From now on." Han Zhou smiled.

Wang Lengqiu seemed to want to laugh too, but he didn't laugh. He looked calm and lovable.

"Thank you," she said.

Han Zhou smiled bitterly: "I should be the one to say thank you."

Wang Lengqiu first shook his head, then nodded.

"Then you shouldn't say sorry."

"why?"

"Because you can only choose 'thank you' or 'sorry' at a time."

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Where did you learn this nonsense from?"

He didn't realize that he was trying to dismantle the heart of the person in front of him.

"It's not a fallacy." Wang Lengqiu corrected seriously.

"All right……"

It was not the first time that Han Zhou heard words he did not understand from the other party. He was used to it. After hesitating for a while, he asked tentatively, "By the way, senior sister, do you have any wishes that you want to realize?"

He was somewhat curious about what this girl desired deep in her heart.

"Marry you."

Wang Lengqiu's answer came out almost immediately.

"Ahem, besides this?"

Han Zhou guessed that this might be her answer, so he immediately pretended not to hear and asked about her other wishes.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when Wang Lengqiu finished speaking, he always felt that Guzheng, who was far away on the lawn, seemed to suddenly turn her head and glare at him with murderous eyes, as if she had heard what Wang Lengqiu said.

Wang Lengqiu was not disappointed. She thought about it seriously and said, "I hope you don't call me senior sister, but call me Qiuqiu, or Qiuqiu."

To be honest, this is actually a very simple wish.

Han Zhou hesitated for a moment: "Xue...Qiuqiu, I don't understand why you have to insist on these two titles?"

He remembered asking this question before, but he couldn't help asking it again.

"Because affectionate names help to bring two people closer together."

Wang Lengqiu's answer was exactly the same as it was then.

Han Zhou remembered that his answer at that time was "But the relationship between us has obviously not reached the level where we can use intimate terms."

The other party’s subsequent response was “That’s why we need to use intimate terms to build closer relationships.”

An impeccable logic.

He didn't plan to struggle this time. After all, even if he changed his answer and told the other party, "But our relationship is not that distant now," the other party would definitely say something like, "Shouldn't you use more intimate terms?"

Besides, apart from being a little embarrassed, this is not an unattainable wish.

In fact, what he really wanted to ask was another question -

"Is that what I called you when you were little?"

"Ah."

Wang Lengqiu rarely responded with a perfunctory "thank you" but nodded slightly.

it is as expected……

Han Zhou first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned slightly. That’s not right. This answer clearly proves that they have known each other since childhood, but didn’t Wang Lengqiu say before that they didn’t know each other before?

He thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Then what did you call me at that time?"

Wang Lengqiu still had no intention of just saying "thank you" to get away with it.

"Han Zhou——"

She was about to answer, but at this moment, Xia Qing's excited shout suddenly sounded on the radio.

“Unbelievable, unbelievable!”

"Mo...the girl wearing a mask in group one...she flew up!"

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood who Xia Qing was talking about. He quickly looked in the direction of the lawn, and then his eyes widened as he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life -

On the lawn, Mo Yixia was hugging Guzheng's shoulders tightly, her whole body almost completely hanging on Guzheng's body. With Guzheng's support, her right leg was exaggeratedly hanging in the air. The only left leg still standing on the ground did not use much strength. Her whole body was being pulled by Guzheng like a kite, running faster and faster. It was no exaggeration to say that she "flying", which caused an uproar on the playground.

In addition to the basic rules, there is only one core rule of the three-legged race, which is that the ropes that tie the legs cannot be untied under any circumstances. Other than that, you can run however you want.

It is not difficult to see that Gu Zheng's speed is obviously still reserved. After all, Mo Yixia's left leg is tied to her right leg. Running too fast may hurt each other, so she is very careful in her movements. But even so, the two are gradually catching up with other teams.

It is worth mentioning that Mo Yixia's left hand firmly grasped Gu Zheng's left ear, and Gu Zheng surprisingly did not resist except for looking depressed.

This was the result of Mo Yixia's coordinated action of acting first and reporting later. She tried to use the force of pulling Guzheng's ear to feedback the pain in her left leg, so as to control the opponent's maximum speed.

As for whether there was any intention of settling personal grudges, perhaps only Mo Yixia herself knew the answer.

Han Zhou was dumbfounded. He had to admit that this was a very new way of moving forward. Probably only someone with Gu Zheng's physical fitness could completely transfer a person's center of gravity to himself, lift up his teammates, and to a certain extent achieve the effect of getting rid of the burden.

But without Mo Yixia's trust and cooperation, she would not have been able to fly the latter like a low-altitude kite.

So... these two people had discussed this beforehand?

It’s okay for Guzheng, but is it necessary for Yixia to work so hard for the competition?

Han Zhou was full of doubts about his life.

At the same time, the other half, Ouyang Lianyu and others, were worried because Gu Zheng and Mo Yixia's running method was actually quite dangerous. Fortunately, nothing went wrong until the end of the entire three-legged race. The two immediately participated in the next event, and Mo Yixia's legs showed no signs of injury.

Although the two of them made subsequent efforts and quickly overtook the three groups of players, they were so far behind in the early stages that they were still lagging behind when the second event ended.

There are only two events in each competition, which means that the competition between Guzheng and Mo Yixia has ended. If they want to catch up, they can only rely on their teammates behind them.

At this time, the baton representing the start of the second race was passed to Han Zhou.
