Forced into a romantic relationship.

She didn't lower her voice deliberately, so the two people in front of her heard her. Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling quickly explained, "No, I've never been very lucky. My junior picked that lottery ticket for me. It must have been his good luck that he won."

Han Zhou smiled wryly and said, "Senior, this has nothing to do with me..."

“I’m telling the truth.”

Zhong Ling said earnestly, "When I texted my sister to tell her I won the lottery, her first reaction was to confront you, because I've never been lucky before, and she was worried that I'd been scammed."

Han Zhou was stunned: "It can't be that exaggerated, can it..."

"It's true. If you don't believe me, I can show you the chat history."

"It's not that I don't believe you..."

"..."

The two chatted as if no one else was around, unaware that Lin Anyu and Xiao Yuyan had looked into the car at least three times and thought there was another person inside.

Lin Anyu waved his hand in front of Han Zhou's eyes, looking anxious, and said, "Han Zhou, are you possessed?"

Han Zhou slapped his hand away and sighed, "What's wrong with you now?"

"Not possessed?"

"You are the one who is possessed by evil spirits."

Lin Anyu asked, puzzled, "Then who are you talking to?"

"Of course..."

Han Zhou was about to speak when he realized the problem, but after thinking about it, he decided to answer truthfully, "I was talking to my senior."

"Senior? Which senior? Could it be..."

Lin Anyu felt a chill run down his spine. He suddenly remembered a legend that had circulated in their high school for a while. It was said that a girl from the previous year had died because she talked too much, so after she died, she would often talk to people in the school...

Han Zhou looked at him like he was an idiot: "What are you thinking about? Of course, it's Senior Zhong Ling."

Lin Anyu was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed that it was impossible. Xiao Yuyan said weakly, "But I didn't hear Zhong Ling say anything just now..."

Zhong Ling quickly shook her head, indicating that she had actually spoken, but Lin Anyu misunderstood and said irritably, "See? Senior sister also said she didn't say anything. You must have misheard."

Han Zhou said somewhat helplessly, "She did speak, but her voice was a little soft, so you couldn't hear her."

Lin Anyu remained silent for a while, then looked at Zhong Ling with a serious expression: "Senior Zhong, could we turn around and go to the city hospital?"

He still refused to believe it.

Let alone him, anyone would probably not believe Han Zhou's story. The car is so small, if someone is talking, everyone can hear it, just not necessarily clearly. He was quite sure that he hadn't heard anything. Why should Han Zhou be the only one who could hear what others were saying? Did he think he was writing a novel?

Left with no other choice, Han Zhou had to prove his words with actions. As he and Zhong Ling interacted, Lin Anyu's expression changed from disbelief to blank disbelief.

What day is it today? Is Han Zhou about to become the main character?

Unlike Lin Anyu, Xiao Yuyan's eyes never stopped sparkling. She asked excitedly, "My God, are you communicating telepathically?"

Han Zhou smiled wryly and said, "As I just said, it was just a normal conversation, it's just that the senior's voice was a little soft."

"It would be a miracle if this could be called 'normal conversation'..."

Lin Anyu took a while to come to his senses and asked suspiciously, "With such good hearing, you wouldn't actually be a hidden agent like Ya Ya said, would you?"

Han Zhou joked, "So remember to keep it a secret from me."

The more Xiao Yuyan looked at Han Zhou and Zhong Ling, the more she felt they were a perfect match. Her eyes sparkled, and finally, she couldn't help but blurt out, "This is like something out of an idol drama! You two are such a perfect couple..."

Seeing her drooling expression, Lin Anyu's heart tightened, and he quickly scolded, "I told you not to play matchmaker!"

"I'm just telling the truth," Xiao Yuyan said, clearly unconvinced.

Lin Anyu sneered: "Have you forgotten what I showed you before?"

Xiao Yuyan was speechless for a moment, then shut her mouth and stopped talking.

Han Zhou was a little curious. How could Lin Anyu make his cousin obey with just one sentence? Could he have caught her doing something wrong?

He cleared his mind of all distractions and asked in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"

Lin Anyu didn't speak. Seeing that Zhong Ling wasn't looking this way, he lowered his voice and said in a boastful tone, "I gave the second and third challenges that you guys played on stage to Guzheng. Guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

Han Zhou was taken aback, thinking to himself that it was no wonder Gu Zheng had suddenly sent him a message before; it turned out that Lin Anyu was the one who had interfered.

He wasn't angry, after all, he didn't care about this so-called telepathy game and didn't think the result meant anything.

Lin Anyu smiled mysteriously, found the chat interface with Gu Zheng, and handed the phone to Han Zhou.

Han Zhou glanced at it casually, initially not taking it seriously, but his expression changed the next second.

Because his choice of Guzheng was exactly the same as his!

"No way……"

Even Han Zhou was somewhat dumbfounded at this moment.

He remained silent for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "It's just a coincidence. In the end, it's just a matter of probability. You don't really believe this, do you?"

Lin Anyu looked at him with a resentful expression: "But why is it that I never encounter such a situation?"

Just as Han Zhou was about to speak, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He took it out and was somewhat surprised, because it was a message from Mo Yixia.

That's quite a rare thing.

Mo Yixia rarely had the opportunity to use her phone. The only time she could remember the other party sending her a message was when they first met and the other party asked her to apply for a job. She never expected to receive a message from the other party again today.

He opened the message and saw only a period in the chat bubble.

A period? What does a period mean?

Han Zhou was somewhat puzzled, but fortunately, he had a photographic memory and quickly recalled a conversation he had with Mo Yixia not long ago—

"I might have the opportunity to message you in the future. Considering my situation, I think it's necessary to devise a code. Listen carefully."

"If it starts with a comma, it means my mom is watching me, so you should speak carefully."

Han Zhou chuckled dryly, "I've been speaking properly the whole time. You're the one who's not speaking properly..."

Mo Yixia ignored her and lightly touched the paper with the tip of her pen, thinking, "If it starts with a period, it means that I am safe around you and it is time to chat. You can relax a little."

"Okay, okay, is there any more?"

"Of course there are. If it starts with a question mark, it means I have something I want to ask you, but for various reasons I can't bring myself to ask, so you have to figure out the answer yourself; if it starts with a colon, it means..."

Han Zhou listened patiently, then said with a wry smile, "You've almost used up all the punctuation marks with this code, why don't you just include quotation marks too?"

"The quotation marks in book titles certainly have meaning, and a very important meaning at that."

Mo Yixia stretched and lazily lay on the table.

"If it starts with quotation marks, it means your princess is in danger. At that time, you must do everything you can to save me."

……

Han Zhou snapped out of his thoughts.

Since it starts with a period, it means the other person is in a casual conversation mood...

He messaged me asking, "How come you can suddenly use a cell phone?"

"The power is out in our neighborhood, and my mom isn't home yet. I'm texting you from another phone, so don't worry about being caught cheating."

Is there a power outage?

Han Zhou ignored the last sentence and said, "It's hard to bear a power outage on such a hot day. Why don't you go outside for a while?"

"No need, it's just the community's power system being repaired. The power will be back on soon. I came here specifically to ask if my clothes smell good."

Han Zhou's face darkened: "Are you ever going to stop?"

"Isn't it delicious?"

"It doesn't smell good."

"Have you smelled it?"

"Never smelled it before!"

"That's not honest. How could you not smell it when it's on your body?"

Han Zhou sighed and was about to reply when he saw that the other party had sent another message.

"Messages like this are nice, but it's still better not to meet in person. Otherwise, your expression would be quite interesting. If I end up leaving anyway, you shouldn't forget to contact me, right, Mr. Jerk?"

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment before replying with a message.

"That depends on what punctuation you use."

Lin Anyu peeked at her for a while and whispered, "This should be the girl named Mo Yixia, the student you tutor."

"Ah."

How's your relationship?

Han Zhou considered it carefully for a while: "It should be pretty good."

"Yeah……"

Lin Anyu's eyes darted around, and he urged, "Why don't you send her those two tests from before and see?"

Han Zhou sneered: "Sure, you send 'I love you' to Bai Tongtong first, and I'll consider sending the test to Mo Yixia."

This guy is always stirring up trouble; all he does all day is think about doing these pointless things.

Lin Anyu's expression changed, and he immediately became hesitant.

He just angered Bai Tongtong's bald father yesterday. If he goes against the grain again, the other party might come and attack him with a knife...

He hesitated for a long time, then suddenly became fierce and said through gritted teeth, "Then it's settled, whoever lies is a coward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes reddened, he took out his phone and sent Bai Tongtong a message saying "I love you" without saying a word.

Han Zhou was filled with awe. For a fleeting moment, he had even seen a hint of tragic heroism in this guy's face, as if he were willing to die together with him.

The next second, 'Bai Tongtong' made a video call.

Lin Anyu hung up the phone immediately and temporarily blocked Bai Tongtong's Fetion. He didn't even blink during the whole process, just staring intently at Han Zhou.
