Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 82 How about you stay at my house tonight
The sky has completely darkened.

A dim yellow light was lit in the distance, and the pouring rain poured down. The dense raindrops intertwined into lines and merged into a continuous rain curtain. The sound of the huge rain seemed to overwhelm everything, becoming the only sound in the world.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, and the splashed water just landed at the feet of the two at the entrance of the subway station.

"The rain is really heavy."

Han Zhou was amazed, it was a torrential rain, and under the dark sky, it was almost impossible to see the distance clearly through the rain curtain, even the headlights of the cars were blurred, and only the nearby scene could be seen.

He was a little nervous, there was still some distance between the subway station and Guzheng's house, and they didn't have an umbrella, so it might be difficult to go back to the community through the heavy rain.

If I had known this earlier, I would have taken a taxi. Now that I am in this situation, it may not be easy to get a taxi nearby.

Guzheng also showed worry, took out her mobile phone and said, "I'll call my mom and ask her to pick me up."

She called Miao Yan'er, but it didn't take long before she frowned and said, "My parents won't be able to come back today. Let me figure out a way by myself. It seems that I can't count on them."

Seeing the heavy rain, she looked at Han Zhou and said angrily, "It's all your fault. You insisted on sending me back. It's raining so hard now, so hurry up, or you won't be able to go back."

"What about you?" Han Zhou asked.

"I'll wait here for a while to see if the rain will get lighter. If it doesn't work, I'll take a taxi back."

"There's no need to wait. The rain will definitely not stop in a short time. It will only get bigger and bigger. Hurry up and take a taxi now. I'll wait here with you. I'll leave when the car comes. You haven't finished your sentence yet." .”

Gu Zheng glared at him: "You're more gossip than girls, aren't you afraid you won't be able to go back?"

Han Zhou shrugged: "It's too late for me to leave now. My house is farther away from the subway station, and there is no place to shelter from the rain. It's the same if I go back early or late, so I'm not in a hurry. Go ahead and talk about it. It happened on the third day of junior high school." What's the big deal?"

Guzheng knew that this guy would not give up until he finished listening, and wanted to send him home quickly, but had no choice but to continue talking.

She took a few steps back to avoid the splashing rain, and pulled Han Zhou back together, saying, "It's not a big deal, there was a competition in the third year of junior high, and five students from each class had to be selected to participate, you know, we I have always been very interested in this kind of competition, so when the teacher called my name, I agreed directly."

"But when school was over at noon, He Ling suddenly found me."

"She looked haggard at that time, completely different from the first grade of junior high school, and had no vitality. I heard someone comment before that He Ling's parents were very concerned about her studies and always regarded her first grade as pride. , seems to be the reason why she has been failing me in the exam, her mentality gradually has some problems, her grades have slipped to outside the top ten at that time, and she is not as cheerful as before."

Speaking of this, Guzheng's eyes dimmed a little, and she always felt a little self-blame for this. He Linghui has something to do with her, even if it wasn't her original intention, but it still hurt the other party inevitably.

She tried to unravel He Ling, took her out to play, and studied with her, but she didn't have the talent to comfort others. Instead of making He Ling happy, she was called hypocritical by others.

Han Zhou didn't speak.

There are always some people in life, they are quite outstanding existences in the eyes of ordinary people, they are dazzling, but sometimes the more radiant and hot, the more they will inadvertently burn other people, so it is inevitable that they will appear out of place.

Is it their fault?
of course not.

Is it wrong for Guzheng to strive to become No.1?

Of course you are right.

So whose fault is it?
Han Zhou didn't think about the answer behind it, because this question didn't need a definite answer.

Guzheng didn't know what Han Zhou was thinking, and recalled: "The reason why He Ling found me was very simple. She wanted me to give up participating in this competition, because this competition was very important to her, and she hoped that I would let her once. Give her a chance to win the prize."

"I don't remember how I felt at the time, but I just couldn't believe that He Ling would say such a thing. I always thought that we were both friends and rivals. Although she was defeated for a while, wouldn't this behavior be equivalent to admitting defeat?"

"I can't accept this kind of mentality, and I don't want to give up any victory, so I rejected her."

Guzheng looked a bit complicated, and continued, "That day was the first time I saw He Ling get angry. She asked me loudly, why did I study like I was desperately studying, and I have surpassed No.2 so much, why? She also refused to give other people a way to survive, she said that I made the atmosphere in the class so tense, it was me who put everyone under great pressure, everyone hated me, why didn't I notice it. "

"Obviously we are best friends, why I don't want to let her once, this opportunity is very important to her, is it more important for me to be number one than friends?"

"That was the first time He Ling confided in her heart. She said that I was too selfish, and that's when I realized that she saw me that way. I said that many schools participated in this competition. Even if I didn't participate, she might not be able to win the prize." The quota, she said it doesn't matter, as long as I give up the competition, there will be one more quota, so her chances of getting the quota will increase."

"I was very surprised. It was still some time before the competition started, and it was obvious that improving myself was the best way. Why did she insist on making me give up, but I didn't ask this question because she cried. "

"'Guzheng, you only need to let me do it this time, obviously just this time', I still remember what He Ling said at that time."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the stop sign was constantly beating by the wind and rain, shaking slightly.

Guzheng shrank her neck.

"Seeing He Ling crying, I was at a loss for the first time about what I did. I wondered if I really shouldn't do this, so I went home and asked my parents if I was wrong."

"They told me that I am not wrong, but there are not only right and wrong in this world, I can actually do better, this competition is not that important to me, I can indeed take a step back, give up the competition and give my good friends a chance, Even if she may not be able to seize this opportunity. This will make her feel my kindness, and I don’t have to be so tired to prepare for the competition, which is good for both parties.”

Guzheng took a deep breath. Miao Yan'er told her more than once that her competitiveness is like a double-edged sword, which can make her invincible, but it can also hurt others and herself.

"Han Zhou."

She suddenly looked at Han Zhou, a flash of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, and she lowered her voice a little.

"Do you think I'm wrong?"

In the heavy rain, the girl lowered her head, her expression hidden under the light, as blurred as the car lights outside the rain curtain.

"Of course you are right."

Without hesitation, Han Zhou immediately gave an affirmative answer.

"really?"

Guzheng gritted her teeth and blamed herself, "But He Ling didn't come to school for several days. It is said that he went to see a psychiatrist for a while. Everyone said it was my fault, although parents never said so , but they felt I should make a change."

"Such a result is indeed regrettable, but it has nothing to do with you. No one can blame you from any standpoint."

Han Zhou shook his head, "But Guzheng, I don't want to tell you any philosophy of life. In fact, it's hard to say right or wrong in this matter. Everything depends on your position and choice. If this is your choice, then I support you .”

Guzheng lowered her head and said with a gloomy expression, "So you also think it would be better for me to give way?"

"You should ask yourself this, I said, I support your choice. By the way, do you still remember how our relationship became better?"

Han Zhou suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Guzheng froze for a moment, and recalled: "I remember, one day you suddenly came to pat my table, saying that you would become my opponent, and that you would surpass me one day. Everyone was laughing at you."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help laughing, "At the beginning you were too overpowering to compete with me in running, but you were as tired as a dead dog after running two steps, and you fell down, and then shamelessly Let me help you back to the classroom."

Han Zhou's face darkened. This is his history in high school, but he soon laughed and said triumphantly, "But I won that race, and I crossed the finish line first."

Mentioning this guzheng made me angry: "It's not that you are taking advantage of your injury to play tricks! Instead of being ashamed, you are proud, you have a thick skin!"

Han Zhou laughed. As an unlockable character, Guzheng naturally had a corresponding side mission at the beginning. The mission content was to defeat her once and make the opponent truly recognize him as an opponent.

At that time, he didn't think about the significance of this task, and then he gradually realized that for this lonely and unwilling girl, only her opponent can become her friend.

Blurry car lights suddenly appeared in the distance, and Han Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, it should be the taxi you took, so that's enough, there's no need to talk about the follow-up."

Guzheng was startled, and subconsciously asked: "Don't you want to know if I gave up the competition in the end?"

She seemed to want to tell Han Zhou her choice.

"No need, I said it, no matter what you choose, I will support you, even if everyone thinks you are wrong. If you don't want to care about other people's opinions, then there is no need to care, you only need to remember one thing .”

Han Zhou said seriously, "No matter what happened before, I am standing by your side now, and I will always be your opponent. I will not let you, and you don't have to let me. After all, I have a thick skin. No matter what you do You don't have to worry about hurting me."

He knew that this was the answer Guzheng needed.

Right and wrong Guzheng must have thought about it many times. The reason why she is so worried and entangled is because she is afraid of the past happening again.

Han Zhou pressed the girl's head and said, "I know, it's not necessarily your nature to be competitive. There must be a reason why you want to win so much, otherwise you wouldn't work so hard. Others can't see this, but I See, if winning is really important, then you don't need to back down."

This is what he said in his heart. As an opponent, he has been chasing Guzheng, so he can understand Guzheng's efforts and feel her determination to win.

The strong should not compromise to mediocrity, why should the sun bow to the torch?
Gu Zheng was stunned by the temperature above her head for a long time, but for some reason, her eyes suddenly became moist.

Until just now, she was still very afraid, afraid that Han Zhou would hate herself like this.

But she is not afraid of anything now.

Seeing that Guzheng didn't speak, Han Zhou thought she was still struggling, thought for a while and said, "Do you still remember the Kuafu Chasing Sun I mentioned at your house a few days ago? This is actually a story. Kuafu is a man who can chase The giant of the sun, I thought it was too hypocritical at the time, so I didn’t finish the following words.”

Guzheng pricked up his ears.

Han Zhou took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, just treat me as Kuafu. You will always be the sun in my heart. You don't need to restrain your light, just keep running forward."

The rain was loud, and he really felt a little embarrassed, and he paused for a long time before speaking again.

"I'll keep chasing after him."

Guzheng's eyes widened, her heart trembled violently.

But she soon muttered, if only this guy had the guts to chase me...

Wiping the corners of her eyes, she was obviously moved, but she said, "You can't catch up with me."

Han Zhou smiled: "Not only will he catch up, but he will also overtake you. Just don't cry when the time comes."

"I won't cry."

"is it?"

Han Zhou looked away, not revealing the fact that the girl was crying.

Guzheng is indeed his sun.

Maybe this guy has already forgotten it. One day when he felt too tired and almost gave up using the status bar to continue his life, it was this guy who enlightened him in a clumsy way.

They're actually pretty hypocritical.

A car approached slowly in the rain, and it was indeed the car that Guzheng dialed on his mobile phone not long ago.

"The car is coming, be careful on the road, I should go too."

Han Zhou withdrew his thoughts. Seeing that Guzheng's mood improved, he also felt relieved and planned to leave.

"Han Zhou!"

Guzheng suddenly stopped him.

"what happened?"

"Well, it's raining so hard, maybe it will last for a long time, it seems too late for you to go home now."

Guzheng lowered her head, her expression was coy, her eyes were a little dodgy, and her voice was very low.

"Otherwise...you can stay at my house tonight."
