Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 459 I Won't Let It Fly Away This Time
Han Zhou rarely talks about his family on his own initiative, but he doesn't avoid it deliberately, so people around him basically know his family situation.

Including bells.

A mother who died young, a father who left home due to gambling, an empty and deserted home - in Zhong Ling's impression, her junior brother always seemed to be optimistic and cheerful, so much so that she often forgot his family situation and forgot that he was truly alone.

At least I still have my sister to accompany me, but when my junior brother returns home, he really has nothing. The only people who occasionally knock on the door are the delivery men and the vicious debt collectors.

Zhong Ling had never heard that her junior had any familiar elders, and her junior had never mentioned this matter, so she was a little curious about the relationship between these two people who claimed to be her junior's elders and her junior.

But no matter what, since she is the elder of her junior, she should show enough respect to them so as not to leave a bad impression in front of them.

She didn't know why she subconsciously wanted to leave a good impression in front of her junior's elders.

On a cold weekend morning, there were not many people on the second floor of the cafeteria. Most people were discussing when it would snow. Except for Zhong Ling, no one focused their attention on the middle-aged man and woman who claimed to be Han Zhou's elders.

Zhong Ling put down the spoon and typed, "Did you come here specially to visit my junior?"

"Yeah, I came by to find out how he's doing."

Liang Hongfei smiled and nodded, jokingly saying, "You look like a high school student. I never thought you would be Xiao Han's senior."

Zhong Ling smiled shyly. She looked a little childish, and that was what almost everyone said. Sometimes when she and her junior classmates walked outside together, they were mistaken for siblings.

The more Liang Hongfei looked at the girl, the more she felt that she was well-behaved. She thought that maybe she shouldn't think too much about it, but she couldn't help asking, "You and Xiao Han seem to be in contact very often. It seems that you have a good relationship, right?"

Zhong Ling smiled and nodded, then typed back, "We are friends."

Looking at the girl's clear eyes that were almost free of impurities, Liang Hongfei asked in a joking tone: "It should be more than just ordinary friends, right?"

Ouyang Wenhao, who had been eavesdropping, frowned slightly and couldn't help turning his head to see how the girl would respond.

What shocked and angered him was that the girl nodded without hesitation!
If they are not ordinary friends, doesn't that mean that this girl and that boy named Han Zhou have an ambiguous relationship, or even that they are boyfriend and girlfriend!
Two-timing... He knew there was something wrong with that guy!
It has to be said that Ouyang Wenhao's intuition is quite sharp. Although this inference is totally untenable, he did find a big stain on Han Zhou.

The smile on Liang Hongfei's face faded a little. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Zhong Ling lowering his head and typing a line of words on his mobile phone and showing it in front of her.

"We are good friends."

Ouyang Wenhao’s eyesight was not very good, and he wanted to immediately move his face closer to check the words on the phone screen, but he couldn’t do it because of his face loss, so he had to pretend to be calm and said nothing.

Liang Hongfei knew what kind of person her husband was, so she helped to convey his message: "So that's how it is, you two have a very good relationship, so please take good care of the child in the future."

She was just casually saying a few polite words, but in fact she was secretly relieved. Most people would not deliberately distinguish between "ordinary friends" and "good friends", let alone between opposite sexes. She was also shocked by Zhong Ling's answer just now, and now it seems that this girl is just too naive.

However, girls like this are generally not good at lying. Coincidentally, she has a good relationship with Xiao Han, so she can just ask her about Xiao Han's situation.

However, although Liang Hongfei was just being polite, Zhong Ling took it seriously. When she heard "Please take care of the child," she was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but recall the scene a long time ago when her sister asked her junior to take care of her. She inexplicably felt a subtle feeling in her heart, and then nodded solemnly.

I will try my best to take good care of my junior, she thought to herself.

Liang Hongfei didn't know what Zhong Ling was thinking. Just as she was about to ask about Han Zhou's situation, she heard Ouyang Wenhao beside her say, "Let's eat first. The food will be cold soon."

Liang Hongfei then realized that because the girl named Zhong Ling next to her had been typing with her head down, she had hardly eaten anything. She couldn't chat while eating. If she continued chatting, the other party might really have to eat cold food.

Thinking of this, an apologetic smile appeared on her face, and she agreed: "Yes, let's eat first."

At the same time, Gu Zheng had received Han Zhou's message and was wiping her sweat while walking towards the locker room, planning to change clothes and go find Ouyang Lianyu's parents.

She came to the dance studio to practice at eight o'clock. If Han Zhou didn't send her a message, she would practice until twelve o'clock to have lunch, take a half-hour nap, and then go back to the dance studio to practice until six o'clock in the afternoon.

For junior and senior high school students who are not very mature, such people are just pretending and are the test-taker kings who don’t want to make things easy for everyone. But for those who got into Linda University with their talent and hard work, everyone will only admire such persistence and hard work, and will sneer at those guys who just want to get by.

Therefore, during this period of time, Guzheng's hard work in the dance studio has infected everyone. Even the strictest senior students would smile at her and give her patient guidance.

"Gu Zheng, are you going back?"

Seeing Guzheng walking towards the locker room, a senior schoolmate showed curiosity. Except for Wednesdays when she had classes in the morning, this was the first time she saw Guzheng leave the dance studio before lunch.

"Well, something urgent happened. I will be back as soon as possible." Guzheng replied.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" "No thanks, senior."

Guzheng walked into the dressing room, changed into a clean set of clothes, and then quickly left the dance studio.

Teacher Ouyang's parents came early? Are they still spreading the word that Teacher Ouyang has a boyfriend?

Guzheng's steps were very fast. A while ago, there were rumors in the school that Senior Wang Lengqiu was Han Zhou's girlfriend, which had already upset her. Now she didn't want to hear rumors that Teacher Ouyang was Han Zhou's girlfriend. This would not only affect Teacher Ouyang's reputation, but would also make her upset.

Even if there are rumors that Han Zhou has a girlfriend, she should be the first one that comes to mind!

Gu Zheng was dissatisfied. If she had not lost the last competition, she would have confessed her feelings to Han Zhou long ago. She wouldn't have to worry about these rumors.

He Ling somehow found out that she liked Han Zhou, and at first she didn't want her to be with Han Zhou because there were too many girls around Han Zhou.

However, after learning that Han Zhou was the only one who stayed with her steadfastly throughout high school, He Ling was silent for a long time, and suddenly changed her mind. She told her to pursue Han Zhou and gave her advice, planning to confess her feelings on Christmas Day.

"It will definitely snow on Christmas Day. I heard that a big Christmas tree will be erected in the center of Qingyuan Square. In previous years, many people would go there to make Christmas wishes. One-third of couples in Linda confess their love under that tree. It's so romantic. You must take Han Zhou with you to give it a try, and then find a hotel nearby to stay in. I don't need to teach you the rest - don't worry, I will book a nearby hotel for you in advance."

"That girl named Mo Yixia helped me before. It was because of her that we were able to get back together. So I can't help you deal with her, but I must remind you that this Mo Yixia is a very scary rival in love, so you must make a quick decision. If necessary, you can force her to do it and make it a done deal as soon as possible."

Thinking back to He Ling's words, Gu Zheng's cheeks couldn't help but blush. Although she was pure, she still understood what "forcing someone to do something" and "making a fait accompli" meant. She didn't know where He Ling learned these things from. It was too shameless for a girl like her to take the initiative to do that to a boy...

If, it would be fine if Han Zhou took the initiative...

No, no, not even if Han Zhou takes the initiative!

Gu Zheng's cheeks turned red. She quickly put aside all those messy thoughts and quickened her pace towards Angel Lake. Han Zhou said that the last place where Teacher Ouyang's parents were seen was near Angel Lake.

When she arrived at Angel Lake, she did not find any trace of Teacher Ouyang's parents, but she saw Wang Lengqiu by the lake.

Whether it is the front face or the back, this girl is very recognizable. Even wearing a thick down jacket, it is difficult to hide her thin body. The whole person seems to be softer than a willow branch and will fall down if the wind blows. At this moment, she is surrounded by a group of boys in strange costumes by the lake. Some of them are holding lighters in their hands, and it is unknown what they want to do.

Gu Zheng frowned slightly, thinking that this group of people were bullying Wang Lengqiu, so she immediately stepped forward and asked them to leave. However, when she realized that these people had no bad intentions but were trying to make Wang Lengqiu laugh, she was stunned for a moment, and finally scolded them to stay away, and soon everyone dispersed.

"Thank you." Wang Lengqiu said softly.

She did not turn around to look at Guzheng, but saw Guzheng's silhouette in the lake.

"Senior, you are too close to the lake. You'd better stand further away, otherwise it will be too dangerous." Gu Zheng advised.

"Thank you." Wang Lengqiu thanked him again softly.

Sure enough, this guy only becomes easy to communicate with when he is with Han Zhou...

Gu Zheng was in mixed feelings and became more and more curious about what had happened between this girl and Han Zhou. However, she knew that she couldn't get any useful information out of him, and she had important things to do, so she turned around and left immediately.

At this moment, Wang Lengqiu's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

“The pigeon has come back.”

"Ok?"

Guzheng turned her head. The lake surface was rippling with ripples as the cold wind blew. The broken lake surface reflected the clear sky. Not a single bird could be seen in the sunlight, let alone a pigeon.

After a moment's hesitation, she asked doubtfully, "Are you talking to me?"

She waited for a long time, but still didn't get any answer from Wang Lengqiu.

This girl is like the Angel Lake in front of us. The surface of the lake is changing all the time. Unless you go deep into the bottom of the lake, no one can know what she is thinking.

Guzheng did not stay any longer and soon left the lake.

Not until she was completely gone did Wang Lengqiu's voice sound again in the cold wind.

"I won't let it fly away this time."
