Forced into a relationship

"How do you make it up to me?" Mo Yixia said meaningfully, "Will you let me smile at you ten times a day?"

Han Zhou was shocked. What was wrong with this guy? He guessed his true thoughts in an instant?

He climbed up the pole and sneered, "It's not ten times, it's twenty times, and you have to take off your mask and smile every time."

"Are you sure?"

Mo Yixia said in a light tone, "My mother can see this scene through the surveillance. The innocent female high school student was forced to take off her mask and forced an unwilling smile at the beastly teacher..."

What a pure and innocent high school girl...

Seeing that this guy was getting more and more outrageous, Han Zhou quickly interrupted and said, "Then don't take off your mask, but you must laugh at least 20 times a day!"

"Okay, I agree, but you have to agree to one condition."

Mo Yixia nodded, and naturally exchanged the compensation for the conditions, "In fact, I did give up the price in this negotiation, which is that you can no longer wear a mask at home after school starts."

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his heart seemed to be suddenly touched. He inexplicably felt that this sentence was a little sad.

Perhaps for this girl, the meaning of the mask is not just to prevent her mother from reading her lips, but also a protection for her inner self that has been hidden all along.

Compromising on this point might mean that the girl would lose more freedom from now on...

But Han Zhou soon realized that he was overthinking.

I only heard Mo Yixia say: "But it doesn't matter, we can practice ventriloquism together. When you go back, search for relevant techniques online and start teaching me from tomorrow."

Han Zhou's face darkened. Everyone else was preparing to develop new skills, so why would he feel sad for this guy? He sternly refused, "You don't have time to learn these now, and I don't need to learn them. I'm going to school after the semester starts, and then..."

Having said this, he suddenly fell silent.

"You won't come, right?"

Mo Yixia took over his words, her tone as calm as ever.

She didn't seem to care much, and after a pause she continued, "As my teacher, you should satisfy my desire to learn, even if it's just to teach me the basic methods of practicing ventriloquism - I need it."

Han Zhou realized that Mo Yixia was serious. Perhaps his previous guess was not wrong. The mask had some special meaning to this girl, and taking off the mask might not be a pleasant thing for her.

He didn't know why he suddenly fell silent, and said unhappily, "When you are useful, you are a teacher, but when you are not, you are used as a scapegoat. You are really good."

Mo Yixia didn’t answer, but suddenly said: “I heard from my mother last night that you looked for me at the birthday party the night before last because you were worried that I wouldn’t be able to take off my mask and eat in the crowd.”

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why did your mother bring this up when you were arguing?"

"Of course it was to belittle you, saying that you are too worried about me and are afraid that I won't have anything to eat, as if she can't cook."

Seeing Han Zhou's expression stiffen, Mo Yixia lowered her head and pursed her lips, "You don't think she is trying to praise you, do you?"

Han Zhou glanced at the characters casually and asked, "By the way, you haven't told me how you got your mother to keep me as the scapegoat."

"I made her an offer she couldn't refuse."

"What conditions?"

"My test will be extended to ten days, which means seven days from now. I promised my mother that all my grades will improve dramatically by then, and my scores in all subjects will reach more than 80% of the total score. Because this was the first time I made a promise to her, she accepted it."

Han Zhou's eyes widened: "Are you crazy?"

All the math and physics nerds shook their heads when they saw this guy. He expected to get 80% of the total score in just seven days?

Mo Yixia continued, "By the way, I also told her that this was your suggestion. You signed a military order and will leave on your own if you fail to do it."

Han Zhou was struck by lightning, with an expression of disbelief on his face: "No, you clearly said that you would do whatever it takes to protect me..."

How can this be considered as protecting him? It's clearly harming him!

"Yes."

Mo Yixia lowered her cap and said seriously, "I have already used whatever means to protect you, so now it's your turn to use whatever means to make me keep my promise."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 31 The task is difficult

You actually have the nerve to laugh. I usually tell so many funny jokes but you don’t laugh. But you laugh at this time. How can you laugh?

Han Zhou's face turned black.

Not only do they let me take the blame, but now they throw such a troublesome task to me, and it's 80% of it. Don't you know your own strengths in math and physics?

Just thinking about it makes me angry. What's the difference between this and repaying kindness with enmity...

He said angrily: "Why are you using unscrupulous methods to help you cheat?"

"of course not."

Mo Yixia shook her head seriously, "If it's not necessary, I won't cheat."

Hmm, it seems there is a flexible bottom line.

Han Zhou's eyes lit up, and he asked tentatively, "If your level still can't be raised after seven days, does that become a 'necessary situation'?"

"Stop telling those bad jokes. Failing the test won't affect me. Why should I cheat for you? And do you think my mom will give me a chance to cheat?"

Han Zhou's face turned bitter: "How can you say such cold words with a body temperature of 37 degrees..."

Mo Yixia raised her eyes to look at him and said disdainfully, "I've never heard of a teacher encouraging students to cheat. If I remember correctly, you just taught me the key points of lying seriously... At this time, shouldn't you try your best to teach me the knowledge I don't understand?"

"I've never heard of anyone who could let someone take the blame so comfortably..." Han Zhou curled his lips, then smiled bitterly, "I would like to teach you, but seven days is too short."

As he spoke, he pushed the fish in front of him back to the other person and said sincerely, "I think you should actually eat more of this, then there might still be hope."

Mo Yixia paused with her chopsticks in her hand, and her tone turned cold: "Are you mocking me for being a rotten tree that cannot be carved?"

"No, it's just that you study very hard, and eating more meat can replenish your energy."

"..."

……

After lunch, the two quickly entered the teaching state.

Looking at Mo Yixia's slender back as she bent over the desk, Han Zhou felt a headache.

It's not that he doesn't want to create a miracle, but considering the girl's current talent in mathematics and physics, it is obviously impossible to raise her grades to a good level in seven days.

Although the other party is not lacking in basic knowledge, it is obviously impossible to get a high score based on basic knowledge alone, not to mention that the test paper used is relatively difficult and there may not be many basic questions.

In just seven days, let alone whether one can catch up with the learning progress, just the other party's comprehension ability in these two subjects is a big problem.

Mo Yixia is a contestant with serious subject imbalance. Except for physics and mathematics, her grades in other subjects are pretty good. It’s not that she has no ability. What’s more, she is forced to study every day, so she should be working hard. It shouldn’t be like this.

Then the biggest possibility is that she has no talent in this area, that is, she is born not to be interested in mathematics and physics, and is not compatible with them. This situation is not uncommon among high school students.

Of course, Han Zhou did not forget his initial guess, that is, Mo Yixia was actually pretending to be stupid and pretending that she could not learn it, and her real level might not be so.

But he didn't say it out loud, for fear that the other party would get angry again soon after being happy. He also didn't intend to put his hope on such unfounded speculation. He racked his brains to think of a feasible solution.

He definitely couldn't be fired like this, otherwise Jiang Baiqian would definitely settle all the old and new grudges and wouldn't give him any good face. Losing his part-time job was a small matter, but he was afraid that he would never have the possibility of coming to work again in the future, and would have no chance to be with Mo Yixia at all.

To be precise... it has nothing to do with Mo Yixia's points.

"After thinking about it, cheating is the most reliable way..."

Han Zhou was feeling depressed. He actually noticed one thing: Mo Yixia talked more today than usual. He didn't know if it was because she was in a better mood today or because their relationship had become closer.

However, there is only one name on the other person's head, and no information has been added from the beginning to now, which means that the relationship between the two is still at the same point and there is no progress.

"Is it that difficult to just not hate me?... First, this guy let me take the blame and reaped the benefits. Now he has come up with a military order that may cause me to be fired. It seems like he is just killing me after I have done my job..."

"But she just asked me to teach her ventriloquism in the future. She doesn't want me to leave so soon, does she?"

I don’t understand, I really don’t understand, what is this guy thinking?

Han Zhou lamented that the road to the fifty points was long and arduous, while secretly sighing that women's minds were really complicated.

It's not that he didn't think of finding a solution from the status bar, but no matter how he looked at it, "dying" had nothing to do with studying, let alone applying the effect to Mo Yixia.

Even if he could really change "dying" to a state similar to the teaching aura, he probably wouldn't have time to teach Mo Yixia, because he would immediately revert to a sickly state and could die at any time.

One thing needs to be clarified-the status that appears in the status bar is just a digital embodiment of a certain trait, and does not directly represent the status itself.

In other words, although dying is a state caused by a terminal illness, it does not mean that it is a terminal illness.

If "dying" is changed to another noun, Han Zhou's dying condition will not disappear. On the contrary, it will temporarily decouple the condition from data and make it impossible to accurately observe it, thus becoming more uncontrollable.

All along, Han Zhou has never really gotten rid of his illness, and the twenty-four hours of vitality he gained through the "Ten Breaths of Dying" is only used to suppress the "dying" brought about by the terminal illness.

The dying breath does not disappear, but is suppressed.

This will not make the symptoms go away unless the condition is permanently fixed, but will only temporarily suppress the negative effects of the symptoms.

The same is true for “dying”.

These states derived from "dying" all represent extremely powerful vitality, which is the key to Han Zhou's survival to this day.

However, once Han Zhou tried to change "dying" to a noun that has nothing to do with vitality, regardless of whether it would succeed, it would first mean that the state reflecting vitality would disappear.

The word "dying" no longer exists, but the terminal illness will not disappear. Instead, it will get out of control and may lead to Han Zhou's death at any time.

In short, the status in the status bar is just an entry that reflects the status, and does not represent the status itself. For example, the "full of vitality" status that can often be seen on the Guzheng, but even if these four words are erased, it cannot completely deny the fact that it has vitality. We can only make certain adjustments on this basis.

In Han Zhou's judgment, the modification of a certain state cannot deviate too much from the original state - if it involves vitality, it can only affect vitality; if it involves speed, it can only affect speed. The modification result cannot deviate significantly from the scope of the original state.

This has a fixed area.

A simple example is that you can transform an ordinary car into a supercar that is beyond recognition, but you can never transform it into a building because the difference between the two is too great.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that the current level of the status bar is too low. When the level is higher in the future, it may be possible to get rid of this limitation. Han Zhou is not yet luxurious enough to use a large number of points to verify it, so many guesses are just guesses.

If he really had so many points to verify, he probably wouldn't be so worried about not being able to stay with Mo Yixia.

At that time, let alone "dying at ten thousand breaths", "dying a billion times" or "dying forever" may be hanging in your head every day, and I don’t know what it would feel like.

But the problem is that he has no points now.

There are only four regular sources of points every day, and sometimes you may not be able to get all of them, so points must not be wasted, and the sources of points should be retained as much as possible.

"The points I can get this way are still too few. It seems that once I complete the task of making Mo Yixia no longer hate me, I have to find a way to get close to the girl named Zhong Ling. Not to mention the ten points for unlocking the character, she must also have a side quest with a lot of points..."

"But it's a bit strange. Why are there only side quests? I don't know when the main quest will start, and what the quest content is..."
