Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 456 Caught off guard
In December, Lincheng was not covered in snow. Although the temperature continued to drop, there was still no snow.

The Meteorological Bureau predicts that Lincheng will welcome its first snow in nearly a decade by mid-December at the latest, and it will be a rare heavy snowfall.

A heavy snow——

Except for the innocent boys and girls on campus, such news did not bring much expectations to people outside the campus.

So what if it snows?

Apart from staying in bed longer, wearing thicker clothes, and spending less time outdoors, the lives of people in Lincheng would not change much.

"You must be passionate about life" - most people will understand this truth sooner or later, but when they reach this age, they often have lost the ability to find passion.

Just as one cannot have youth and the feeling of youth at the same time.

Fortunately, such "numbness" is still far away from the students of Linda University. At this moment, they are at an age of youth and passion. Almost everyone is looking forward to the arrival of heavy snow. The first thing they do when they get up every day is to look at the balcony to see if the branches outside have turned white.

In addition to looking forward to heavy snow together, many interesting things have happened in Linda recently.

First, with the end of the fun sports meeting, the video of Han Zhou's wheelchair drifting quickly went viral on the Internet, causing his fame in Linda to soar, to the point where almost everyone knew him. Even using the term "dog student" to reduce his presence could not isolate everyone from paying attention to him.

Almost every day, many people would run outside the classroom to see this "big star". There was even a serious agency that came to invite him to participate in a talent show, hoping that he would debut as an inspirational image of a disabled but strong-willed person.

When he said expressionlessly that he was not disabled, the man was not disappointed but became even more excited, saying that he could completely rewrite the script to create a more touching and powerful image.

Although he was disabled, he used love as a crutch to stand up again, and even trained his arms into new legs for love. This is a medical miracle among medical miracles.

As for who the kidnapper was, it was naturally the rumored mentally unstable Wang Leng...

Han Zhou told the man to get out before he could finish his words.

Second, with the New Year's Day approaching, various colleges are working overtime to rehearse their programs. Therefore, Lin University is quite lively recently. You can feel the vigor of young people everywhere you go. I heard that even the status of the aunties doing square dance in the nearby park has been challenged.

Like previous years, this year's New Year's Eve party is still organized by the Student Union. In recent years, the New Year's Eve parties have become increasingly monotonous and boring, with either singing or dancing. This has been criticized for a long time, and I don't know if President Xia Qing will come up with anything new this year.

Everyone is looking forward to this.

As a member of the dance club, Guzheng has naturally been rehearsing intensively recently. In the afternoons, whenever she doesn't have classes, she will run to the dance studio to practice, and she only has time after seven in the evening.

Third, there is a rumor on campus recently - as long as you can crack the code word "abstract stickman", you will have a chance to win the heart of senior Wang Lengqiu.

According to insiders, this news is absolutely true and reliable. Therefore, there are many Abstract Brothers around Wang Lengqiu in the past few days, and they even set up an Abstract Club together. It's a pity that Wang Lengqiu still doesn't even want to look at them.

The fourth is the latest news that has just appeared in all major chat groups - Teacher Ouyang’s boyfriend is suspected to have appeared in Lin University and is about to meet with Teacher Ouyang’s parents to discuss marriage!

——The news comes from a Mr. Chen Long who does not want to reveal his name.

"Damn it! Which bastard betrayed me again?"

"Just eat the melons, why do you always like to eat the melon owner as well? Is there still justice? Is there still law?"

"I emphasize again that the news that Teacher Ouyang is going to get married this year was not spread by me, and I never said that she was living with her boyfriend! Don't slander me!"

"'I am really Chen Zheng' has been banned by the administrator for 24 hours."

Seeing the reminder of being banned in the group, Han Zhou's mouth twitched. He looked up at Ouyang Lianyu who was typing frantically across from him, and said helplessly: "Teacher Ouyang, you need to give me an explanation. Who leaked the news at such an important time?"

The timing of this rumor is too dangerous.

Today is the day he will meet Teacher Ouyang's parents. His fame in Linda is at its peak now, and he can be easily recognized when walking around Linda. If some "paparazzi" find him with Teacher Ouyang today, it will be hard not to associate it with this rumor and suspect that the two are having an affair.

It's fine if they have an affair, they are just in love, but it's not nice to make it public for a teacher-student relationship. He is thick-skinned and doesn't care, but this can easily affect Ouyang Lianyu's future life.

In order to prevent this from happening again, he has been asking to move back to the dormitory these days, but Teacher Ouyang refused to agree and insisted that he recover from his injuries before leaving, so he still lives in the other's house until today.

"You still have the nerve to ask me?"

Ouyang Lianyu was sending a message to punish Chen Long to clean the toilet. Hearing this, she said without even looking up, "Chen Long is your roommate. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

His tone was gentle, but also a little complaining and helpless, not like he was trying to hold on. "I haven't even been back to the dormitory recently, so how could I have the chance to talk to Chen Long about these things? What's more, I have always kept my mouth shut, so the problem is definitely not with me." Han Zhou said seriously.

"It's not my fault."

"Whose fault is that?"

"I don't know either--"

Seeing Ouyang Lianyu's hand suddenly stop moving, Han Zhou looked strange and asked suspiciously: "Teacher Ouyang, can you raise your head and look at me when you talk?"

Ouyang Lianyu's body froze and she didn't dare to look up for a long time, looking like a guilty thief.

Sure enough, there is a problem... Han Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sighed: "Teacher Ouyang, I just let it slip by accident. It's not a big oversight. What's wrong with admitting it?"

"It's not really me."

Ouyang Lianyu wanted to explain, but her voice sounded guilty. "Yes...my parents arrived in Lincheng early. They are now hanging out in the school. They spread the news that I have a boyfriend, and Chen Long happened to hear it when he passed by."

She had just heard about this from Chen Long.

Han Zhou's heart skipped a beat: "Didn't you say your parents didn't arrive in Lincheng until noon?"

In order to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring during the meeting, they booked a well-known restaurant far enough away from Linda University early on, planning to have lunch there to reduce the risk of being seen by Linda University students.

But Ouyang Lianyu’s parents actually went to Linda in advance?
"That's what they told me."

Ouyang Lianyu smiled bitterly, "I think they may have suspected that you were a fake boyfriend I found, so they came here early to look for evidence and catch us off guard."

"It really caught me off guard..."

Han Zhou was very glad that the older generation nowadays didn’t like playing with mobile phones and seldom watched short videos. Otherwise, if Ouyang Lianyu’s parents saw his video online and ran to the school to announce “this is my future son-in-law”, it would be like the sky falling.

According to Ouyang Lianyu's description, her parents are such a middle-aged couple. Even if they bought smartphones, they are not keen on trying new things. They have not even downloaded short video apps on their phones, so they probably won't see him on the Internet.

"What should we do? Anyway, we can't meet your parents at school, otherwise it will be a big trouble. But if we just let them ask around at school, I'm worried that things will get out of control." Han Zhou frowned slightly, thinking about a solution.

For him and Ouyang Lianyu, whether their fake relationship was exposed or their "real" relationship was made public, it was a difficult thing to accept. However, it was difficult for them to appear in school at this time and they could not come forward to solve the problem directly.

After hesitating for a moment, Ouyang Lianyu said hesitantly: "How about... we find someone to help us?"

"To?"

Han Zhou's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood what the other party meant. "You mean to ask someone to pretend to be an insider and send them away with news that will satisfy your parents?"

Ouyang Lianyu's parents were not going on a school outing. Once they got the useful information, they would probably leave and not ask around.

"Correct."

Ouyang Lianyu felt a little embarrassed. If possible, she didn't want to use various means to deceive her parents. The lies would be exposed sooner or later, and the buried truth would only hurt people more. However, since things had come to this point, she could only bite the bullet.

If being honest could get the desired outcome, then she wouldn't have to make things so complicated.

Han Zhou thought this plan was completely feasible, so he took out his phone and said quickly, "Then quickly ask Chen Long where he met your parents. I'll send a message to Gu Zheng and ask her to intercept him."

Except for Mo Yixia and Gu Zheng, no one else knew that he was going to pretend to be Ouyang Lianyu's boyfriend. Now that Yixia was not around, in order to prevent things from becoming more complicated, he could only ask Gu Zheng to help him act as a stand-in.

…It’s a bit weird, but there’s nothing we can do about it.

Han Zhou and Ouyang Lianyu each sent messages, trying to resolve the problem as soon as possible before things became troublesome.

What the two of them didn't know at the moment was...

Before Gu Zheng, the "assistant", arrived, Ouyang Lianyu's parents had already found a suitable person to ask.
