Forced into a romantic relationship

The kitchen was filled with aroma.

In the rising white mist, Han Zhou had a dazed look on his face, and he looked at Wang Lengqiu beside him in shock.

Senior Wang Lengqiu, did you major in Japanese in college? Why can such words come out of your mouth?
He complained in his heart, but he was more worried. He didn't know how Wang Lengqiu knew that he and Mo Yixia had gone hiking together. Logically speaking, even if this matter would be exposed, Wang Lengqiu should not be the first to know. Could it be that he had overlooked some details recently and accidentally exposed something?
Thinking of this, Han Zhou's heart suddenly rose to his throat. If this was true, then it would be a big problem -

Gu Zheng must not know about this!
If Guzheng knew about this, the dream she had on the snowy mountain might become reality.

But fortunately... he quickly calmed down. Judging from what Wang Lengqiu had just said, Gu Zheng should not know about this... But why did Wang Lengqiu know about it?

Han Zhou was puzzled. Even though his expression just now had betrayed his inner nervousness, he still pretended to be calm and said, "Xue...Qiuqiu, I don't understand what you are saying."

In fact, the reason why he couldn't control his expression was mainly because he didn't expect Wang Lengqiu to suddenly transform into a "Japanese netizen" and try to threaten him in some way -

That's right, as we all know, the sentence pattern "You don't want your secret to be known by someone, right?" has always been used in certain coercion scenarios, and the fact that Wang Lengqiu suddenly said this clearly shows that she wanted to use this secret to achieve a certain purpose.

So what does the senior want to exchange for this secret?
Han Zhou didn't think that Wang Lengqiu had any ill intentions towards him, but if he didn't think in this direction, he would not be able to guess the other party's purpose at all.

Facing Wang Lengqiu's slightly empty eyes, Han Zhou sighed inwardly. As expected, he couldn't tell what this girl was thinking. However, he was sure of one thing -

Wang Lengqiu would not joke. Since she said something that was obviously threatening, it meant that she must want to get something from him.

But what could she expect?

Han Zhou silently waited for Wang Lengqiu's answer, but the other party remained silent and no one knew what he was thinking.

Just when Han Zhou thought Wang Lengqiu would not speak, he heard the girl suddenly ask: "After you finish looking at the photos, the pigeons will fly away, right?"

The voice was very light, with a kind of coolness that was completely different from Mo Yixia's, like iced lemon tea.

The girl had her back to the window, and outside it was the darkening night. In the darkness, she could vaguely see moving spots of light and looming airplane clouds.

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, and vaguely understood what the other party meant: "Are you asking me if I will leave after looking at the photos?"

Wang Lengqiu did not answer, but asked: "Do you think it will fly back?"

Han Zhou was about to answer, but at this moment, the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open, and a furry head poked into the room, saying excitedly: "Sister Wang Lengqiu, you are really back! I thought Grandpa Wang was lying to me, come to my house to play tomorrow afternoon, okay?"

Han Zhou looked in the direction of the voice and saw a chubby little girl outside the door. She looked about six or seven years old, with a round, rosy face and eyes like two black grapes. She wore a white woolen hat and a thick white cotton coat, and looked like a little snowman.

"Senior, this is..."

Han Zhou initially thought that this was Wang Lengqiu's biological sister, but he soon realized that this was not the case. Although the girl was cute, she did not look like Wang Lengqiu at all.

"This is Old Chen's granddaughter, her name is Doudou. She heard that Youyou was back, so she came over to look for her as soon as school was over."

Wang Lengqiu's grandfather appeared at the door and said with a smile, "This girl likes to stick to Youyou. When Youyou is not around, she comes to ask me when Youyou will be back every now and then. I don't know if she reports to Old Chen when she comes."

It can be seen that the old man likes this round-headed little girl very much. The smile on his face is very kind. Even Wang Lengqiu, who usually has no expression, has a little tenderness in his eyes when he sees the girl.

"I told grandpa, grandpa asked me to come to your house for dinner."

The girl said this confidently, and it was obvious that she had come here many times before to eat for free. However, she soon became worried and said, "But grandpa didn't tell me that there would be so many people at your house today. Why don't I go back to eat..."

She said this, but her feet were rooted to the ground, not moving at all. Her eyes were fixed on the steaming pot, and she couldn't stop swallowing her saliva.

It's not that Chen Doudou is not doing well, it's just that the aroma in this pot is too fragrant. She has never smelled such a fragrant aroma, and she doesn't know what it tastes like... She doesn't want to eat it! She just wants to see what's cooking in the pot. Of course, if Sister Wang Lengqiu really wants to keep her for dinner, then she can only take over the show - this is a new idiom she learned today, which means that guests should respect the host, and the host's words are what they say.

Chen Doudou felt strange. A long time had passed. If it were in the past, Sister Wang Lengqiu would have let him stay for dinner long ago. But today, she had not yet let him get amnesty. There must be something else going on.

She looked up in confusion, only to find that Sister Wang Lengqiu had been staring at the handsome older brother, as if asking for his opinion.

This... who is this person?

Chen Doudou was struck by lightning. Her legs, which were originally firmly planted on the ground, suddenly took several steps back uncontrollably. If Gu Zheng behind her hadn't supported her in time, she might have fallen to the ground.

"What's wrong with this child?" Gu Zheng asked in a low voice with a confused look on her face.

Zhong Ling beside him shook his head, indicating that he was not sure.

"Just stay at my house and eat."

After a while, Wang Lengqiu finally retracted his gaze and whispered the words that Chen Doudou had been thinking about. However, the latter had no desire to live at this time and had to accept a horrible fact -

She fell out of favor.

She is no longer the favorite child of Sister Wang Lengqiu. If she wants to eat at Sister Wang Lengqiu's house in the future, she will have to consider other people's feelings.

And all this is thanks to this new pretty boy!
Chen Doudou glared at Han Zhou in the kitchen viciously. She would never forget this grudge and secretly made up her mind that she would not give this man a good face later.

With this belief, she quickly gave this pretty boy a warning -

When Grandpa Wang introduced the two pretty sisters one by one, she called out "Hello, sisters" sweetly. But when he introduced the pretty boy named Han Zhou, she pretended not to hear and found an excuse to leave the kitchen.

She was so proud and confident that even without looking back, she could imagine the ugly expression of the pretty boy, and she couldn't help feeling proud. At this moment, Grandpa Wang's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Dou Dou, this is your favorite braised pork, come and try it."

Braised pork?
Chen Doudou immediately stopped, turned 180 degrees with his left heel as the axis, ran into the kitchen happily, and opened his mouth wide to wait for food.

"Be careful of the burn."

The old man picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork and blew on it gently before putting it into the girl's mouth. He smiled and said, "By the way, Brother Han Zhou prepared all the food tonight. You must thank him later."

Tsk, so what if he made it? What's so great about it? It doesn't taste good at all, why should I thank him...

Chen Doudou sneered in his heart, but was stunned the next second.

The braised pork in your mouth melts instantly, it’s full of juice, and the aroma is so rich that it goes straight to the top of your head - how can there be such delicious braised pork in this world!

"Doudou, what's wrong with you?"

"Doudou?"

Chen Doudou stood there for a long time, suddenly gritted his teeth, trotted over to Han Zhou, put his hands around his thighs, tilted his little head back to look into his blank eyes, and tried to put on a sweet smile.

"Hello, brother."
