Forced into a relationship

Lin Anyu didn't move until more than ten minutes later, when he replied with a shocked expression and explained, "I'm sorry, the message was sent to a group of people, and I accidentally selected you."

Han Zhou knew this was the case, and replied with a sigh: "I guessed it, but what do you want to do?"

Lin Anyu seemed very excited and quickly sent a long message: "You don't understand this, right? This is a new method I learned recently to test whether a girl likes you. You can test it with just the few messages I sent just now. Do you want to learn it?"

"Do not want to."

Lin Anyu didn't even bother to look at Han Zhou's reply, and sent a message to himself: "I know what you want, so learn it well. First, you send a message to a girl saying 'Do you think I'm stupid?' If she replies with words like 'stupid', 'what's wrong', 'I don't think so', then it means that you two have a chance and she has a good impression of you. But if she just replies with a question mark, then you may be in trouble."

"Then, you can send a message to a girl like I did just now, such as 'What do you think of me' or 'Forget it, good night, go to bed early'. Make sure you use the right punctuation. Then, after a while, check your phone again. If she sends you more than three messages to follow up or answer you, then it means that you two have a good chance of success. On the contrary, if she only sends you a message like 'OK' and has no intention of continuing the conversation, then it means that she is not interested in you. Do you understand?"

After Lin Anyu sent this message, there was no further movement, as if he wanted his "disciple" to digest and experience it on his own.

Han Zhou quickly read through this guy's so-called testing method and was reserved about it. Girls' minds were not that simple and you wouldn't be able to tell anything from just a few words.

He was not interested in these, but he was quite curious about how the girls who received the group messages responded to Lin Anyu.

“How many people did you send the group message to?” he asked.

"I don't know how many, maybe a dozen girls." Lin Anyu replied quickly.

"So what did they say to you?"

Lin Anyu didn't reply for a long time, and he didn't know if it was because he didn't see it.

Han Zhou typed a line of words on his mobile phone.

"If I'm not mistaken, quite a few of these girls responded to you with the word 'idiot'."

Lin Anyu was horrified and stopped pretending to be dead. He quickly asked, "How did you know?"

I have to admit, the word "idiot" is quite hurtful. He was really embarrassed to tell Han Zhou this just now.

"Because I almost couldn't help scolding you."

After a pause, Han Zhou replied unhappily, "It's morning now. Only an idiot would choose this time to say goodnight to someone! You should send your next messages in the evening, right?"

Lin Anyu felt like he was struck by lightning.

After a while, he said as if waking up from a dream: "So that's how it is. The video did say that this sentence should be posted at night, but I was anxious to know whether they like me..."

No, you are so stupid and yet you ask others if you are stupid or not. Isn't this just asking for trouble...

Han Zhou was now basically certain of one thing, that was Lin Anyu didn't know how to chase girls at all, and his flirting that day was a complete mess.

At this moment, Lin Anyu suddenly urged, "By the way, Han Zhou, why don't you also ask Gu Zheng about these pieces of information?"

Han Zhou frowned: "Why ask her?"

"Mainly I wanted to see how she would respond to you."

Han Zhou was startled, his expression suddenly became a little strange, and asked, "Your group message didn't even let Guzheng go, did it?"

"What a surprise." Lin Anyu was a little embarrassed. "I accidentally chose the wrong person. I only sent the first message. When I wanted to withdraw it, it was too late."

Han Zhou became interested: "What's the matter with Guzheng?"

"He didn't say anything. He just sent me a screenshot of the transcript of the last unified exam in class, and marked my 21st place in red... Really, how can IQ be simply measured by grades?"

Lin Anyu was very unhappy.

Han Zhou pondered for a moment: "I think she simply doesn't want to spend time thinking about how to reply to you..."

"..."

After a while, Lin Anyu said angrily, "No, go ask Gu Zheng this question too. I want to see how she answers you!"

Han Zhou shook his head: "Don't you think Gu Zheng would find it problematic if she saw two identical questions in such a short period of time?"

Han Zhou decisively rejected Lin Anyu's plea, even if the latter offered a meal in exchange.

But he was actually a little curious, so he sent a message to Guzheng.

"Do you think I'm smart?"

Guzheng replied almost instantly.

"Not as smart as me, why ask this?"

It was followed by an emoji of a little man with his arms crossed.

This guy would really say that... Han Zhou smiled, put down his phone and continued reading.

Time quickly came to twelve o'clock noon, and Jiang Baiqian suddenly called. Han Zhou answered the call immediately, but the person on the other end of the phone was not Jiang Baiqian, but Mo Yixia.

Her tone was light, and she said something that surprised Han Zhou——

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 51: Marriage is something you can consider

The fan was whirring, but the flowing air had no cooling effect at all.

Han Zhou was silent for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Did you also receive the group message?"

"Ok?"

Mo Yixia on the other end of the phone made a nasal sound, not too light or too heavy.

"I mean why are you asking this out of the blue?"

Mo Yixia didn't answer, but said calmly: "I'm going to have lunch soon. It's made according to the amount of food for two people. If you haven't eaten yet, come and join us."

Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed. They had even prepared his share of the meal. Wasn't this a hint that he didn't have to leave?

Can't be wrong... this guy definitely passed the test!

"Is this a celebration party?" he said excitedly.

"It's a farewell dinner." Mo Yixia said in a cold voice.

Han Zhou's expression froze.

……

When Han Zhou came to Mo Yixia's house with a bitter face, Mo Yixia was packing the notebooks she had borrowed from Gu Zheng into cardboard boxes one by one.

She was still wearing a mask and a cap, and her movements were neither fast nor slow, nor did she make a sound. Seeing that Han Zhou's expression was getting worse, she asked curiously, "What's that expression?"

Han Zhou habitually took the mask from her and put it on. He looked around and saw that Jiang Baiqian didn't seem to be at home. Then he plucked up the courage and said unhappily: "What's that expression? What are you doing?"

"Put these things away. I won't need them later."

"No need? You're not really asking me to come to the farewell dinner, are you?"

"Take off your sunglasses. Then I'll tell you."

"Do you have any evil tastes..."

Han Zhou sighed and took off his sunglasses helplessly.

Mo Yixia sealed the carton with transparent glue, looked up and stared into his eyes carefully for a while, but didn't smile, got up and said: "The look in your eyes tells me that you can't accept the result of disbanding, so I can understand that you Haven't you achieved your real purpose of getting close to me?"

Han Zhou was stunned.

In fact, his main purpose of approaching Mo Yixia was to obtain the fifty points from the side quest. Now that the side quest has been completed, if nothing unexpected happens, he will basically not see Mo Yixia after school starts in a dozen days.

The period at the beginning of college is very busy, and the third year of high school is the most tiring period in high school. Both of them have to stay in school and have no chance to meet.

In other words, the remaining ten days of summer vacation would be the last time they could spend together, and with the completion of side quests, Han Zhou could basically only get a few points from daily tasks.

From the point of view of points alone, the priority of staying with Mo Yixia is no longer high. The remaining time is better spent getting close to Zhong Ling and getting all the points from her side missions and unlocking missions. Don't be obsessed with continuing to stay here as a tutor.

It’s no longer something that has to be done.

But why am I still unwilling to leave like this?

Han Zhou quickly figured out the reason, because he already regarded Mo Yixia as a friend.

Even though the initial bond of community of interests is no longer necessary, from a friend's perspective, he still doesn't want the girl to be locked up at home alone, eating a large table of meals by herself, doing homework alone in a room full of surveillance cameras while wearing a hat and mask that closes her heart, not being allowed to go out, and even being given the right to open the curtains.

It was not out of sympathy. Mo Yixia didn't need sympathy. He just wanted to spend some more time with this special girl until she returned to school after the semester started. Then life might not be so boring.

"Why do you have to worry about my purpose?"

Thinking of this, Han Zhou smiled and said, "There is a free and sumptuous lunch to eat every day, and you can get such a high salary just by catching fish. Such a tutoring job is not easy to find. It is normal for me not to want to leave like this, right?"

"is it?"

Mo Yixia retracted her gaze, clapped her hands and walked towards the living room, “Since you like the free lunch so much, let’s eat first.”

"Also, bruises on the eyes can be relieved with hot compresses. Don't you even know this common sense?"

Of course Han Zhou would not tell the other party that he deliberately wanted to maintain such a miserable image. After washing his hands, he sat down at the dining table.

Mo Yixia took off her mask, revealing her delicate face with the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye. It was hard not to be amazed by this face no matter when you look at it.

Han Zhou looked at the dishes on the table and asked in confusion, "Why is there no fish today?"

There was fish in the dishes every day, even if Mo Yixia didn’t eat it.

"Because I cooked today's meal, and I don't like fish." Mo Yixia looked up at him and said, "But it was indeed my negligence to forget that someone needed to eat fish to nourish the brain, so..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly closed her mouth and started eating rice silently.

Han Zhou reacted instantly and said with a smile: "With what? Tell me, why didn't you say the rest?"

He lowered his voice and said in an aggressive tone, "You don't mean to say... I will pay attention next time, right?"

"There is no future."

Mo Yixia didn’t want to look at him, “Your expression right now is disgusting, and it’s a self-righteous disgust.”

Han Zhou took it easy and said confidently, "You can't lie to me. I've clearly remembered what you said last time—"From today onwards, I will do whatever it takes to protect you, and I will never let you be replaced." Drop', since I won't be replaced, today's meal will definitely not be a breakup meal."

Mo Yixia ate the vegetables in small bites, her tone seemed a little helpless: “What I said is correct, but why are you so proud?”

Han Zhou smiled without saying anything, completely relaxed, and tasted the dishes on the table. Mo Yixia's cooking skills were good, but probably not as good as Gu Zheng's - except for the soup.

Mo Yixia was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "I did pass the test, and you don't have to leave."

She glanced at Han Zhou.

The latter was not too happy too soon, and tentatively said uneasily: "I guess there is a 'but' behind it."
