Forced into a relationship

He was about to speak when Zhong Ling suddenly raised her hand and punched him in the chest with little force. Then she lowered her head carefully and said softly, "I'm sorry, my sister said you said something too much to her, so she asked me to help her punch you."

She retracted her fist and bowed her head in acknowledgment of her mistake.

Han Zhou was amused. Was this the legendary little fist hitting your chest? He denied it flatly: "I didn't say anything excessive."

Seeing that he was not angry, Zhong Ling breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion: "Then what did you say?"

Her sister had never asked her to hit anyone before, so Han Zhou must have said something bad.

Han Zhou looked at his nose and his heart without saying anything.

Zhong Ling took out her phone and asked a few questions. Soon, she put on a serious face and acted like a senior student. She punched him lightly and said seriously, "Although it's the truth, it's really too much!"

Her voice was soft, and even if she was dissatisfied, it would be difficult to make people feel fear. It sounded very gentle, like a wind chime blown by the gentle breeze. It was a pity that few people could hear such a voice, which was undoubtedly a regrettable thing.

Han Zhou was filled with emotion and honestly admitted his mistake with a very correct attitude. He then changed the subject and said, "Sister Yin hopes that I can respect your ideas. I also think that I should listen to my senior sister, so we won't cheat anymore."

Zhong Ling is a simple and innocent girl, and Zhong Yin should have been trying her best to protect this innocence, otherwise she wouldn't have such an unpolluted pair of clear eyes, so Han Zhou is willing to respect their ideas.

Of course Zhong Ling understood that this was a compromise made by Han Zhou. She hesitated for a while, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally grabbed the small cloth bag and nodded slightly.

The two went to line up.

The line was very long, but fortunately it progressed quickly. Almost all the challengers on the stage failed in the first stage. Many of them couldn't even guess the first word, so there was naturally no need to continue. Therefore, a group of challengers would leave the stage in less than two minutes.

This also indirectly illustrates the difficulty of this game.

Of course, there were contestants who successfully advanced to the second stage, but unfortunately they did not make it to the third round and left the stage after fifteen seconds.

The host on the stage was very good at speaking. He constantly heated up the atmosphere and in just a few words he made this game into something that couples must try. Suddenly, more and more challengers came forward.

Han Zhou and Zhong Ling were chatting while waiting, when suddenly, his expression changed.

Because he finally saw Lin Anyu in the mall again, but this time this guy actually appeared on the podium, mixed in with a girl among this group of challengers.

Chapter 94 Cousin

No wonder this guy is so sneaky. He said he was free before and asked me if I needed him to take me here. It turns out he was on his way...

Han Zhou felt strange because he didn't know the girl next to Lin Anyu and didn't know where she came from. The two of them were talking and laughing until they went on stage and were separated by the host.

The host is a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean accent, but it's not difficult to understand him. On the contrary, his conversation is quite humorous, which combined with his accent creates a comedic effect.

"Okay, six more pairs of handsome men and beautiful women are on stage. The longest effective time of the game before was two and a half minutes, and no one has successfully entered the third stage so far. So this time, will someone set a new record and successfully break the two and a half minute record? Let's wait and see."

This is not a TV show; efficiency is the main focus, so the host did not waste too much time. He quickly separated the six teams of contestants into male and female teams, with a distance of about five meters between them. He then handed six cards to everyone and announced the start of the game.

As soon as the words fell, everyone on the stage started dancing.

Han Zhou focused his attention on Lin Anyu, but this guy's movements were so abstract that he couldn't tell whether it was "Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg" or "White Crane Spreads Its Wings". No one could make the wings look like chicken claws, right?

I have to say that this part is quite challenging. In addition to imitating his own movements, Lin Anyu also needs to observe the movements of the girl opposite him at all times. It can be seen that the first word stumped him, and the scratching look almost made Han Zhou laugh.

He wanted to record this expression, but considering that it might cause unnecessary misunderstanding, he did not take out his mobile phone.

Zhong Ling asked curiously, "You are watching so seriously, are there any of your friends on the stage?"

"Yes, the one jumping on one leg is really stupid." Han Zhou couldn't help laughing.

Zhong Ling quickly found Lin Anyu on the stage. She seemed to be amused as well. She looked at him carefully and asked in confusion, "It seems to be the guy who approached me last time. He pretended to be blind at that time..."

She gradually recognized Lin Anyu.

"That's him. Senior, be careful. This guy is a big shot and loves to flirt with girls."

Han Zhou slandered Lin Anyu without blushing or beating his heart. Zhong Ling believed it and nodded vigilantly.

During the conversation, nearly a minute had passed quietly. What surprised Han Zhou was that Lin Anyu had not been eliminated yet and became one of the only two pairs of challengers still continuing the game on the stage. It could be seen that he was trying very hard. There were some embarrassing actions that Han Zhou might not be able to do.

The girl with Lin Anyu must have practiced dancing. She has good body flexibility and her body language is much richer than that of the clumsy Lin Anyu. Another minute passed. Although the process was difficult, the two of them successfully passed the first stage and became the only pair of challengers to enter the second round.

The host didn't waste any time and started the second segment right away, handing two pieces of cardboard to Lin Anyu and the girl respectively. When fifteen seconds passed, he immediately announced that the time was up and took the cardboard back from the two without any delay.

He looked down at the contents on the two cards, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Guess, have you successfully completed the second round of the telepathic challenge?"

Lin Anyu's eyes sparkled with wisdom, and he immediately said confidently: "I think it's successful."

"Oh?" The host was a little surprised. He touched the few hairs on his head and asked, "It seems that this challenger is quite confident. What is the basis for your confidence?"

"Because before this, you had never asked similar questions to any of the challengers. Instead, you directly announced that they had failed the challenge and then let the next group of challengers come on stage. But this time, you broke with your usual practice and kept the suspense..."

Lin Anyu became more and more confident as he spoke. "There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary, so we succeeded. Otherwise, you wouldn't have wasted your time."

The host was stunned and said with a smile: "I thought you were confident that you knew each other well enough, but it turns out that you are studying me."

Lin Anyu smiled without saying anything, his eyes searching for something in the audience. The girl stood beside him with her hands behind her back, smiling, and she didn't say a word.

The next second, the host showed a look of regret on his face. He patted Lin Anyu on the shoulder and said, "I admire your confidence, but unfortunately, both of you failed in your challenge."

He showed the two of them their cardboards. There were sixteen rare characters, and neither of them circled a single one that was the same. This was actually quite normal, but it was somewhat embarrassing in the game of "Telepathy".

The smile on Lin Anyu's face froze.

The host looked at him meaningfully. "But this challenger's analysis is very accurate. I did say that on purpose with the intention of misleading you. I didn't expect you to follow my line of thought completely. Perhaps we are more in tune with each other."

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

The more Lin Anyu looked at the bald man, the more he felt that his eyes were strange. He quickly took the girl and fled off the stage. As soon as he got off the stage, he received a message from Han Zhou.

"I think you and that uncle get along well. You can try to get in touch with him. Who is the girl next to you?"

Lin Anyu looked around for Han Zhou and replied, "As expected, you are here too. Zhang Chengfan told me that if you are compatible with him, go find him. The one next to me is my cousin, who practices dancing."

"You have a cousin?"

"I have a lot of messy relatives in my family. She will stay in Lincheng for a few days. My dad asked me to take her around when I have time. I don't know where this guy heard about this Chinese Valentine's Day event here, and he insisted that I bring her here to check in and win a 10,000 yuan prize. I really had no choice but to come here."

Han Zhou asked curiously, "How could your family be short of this ten thousand yuan?"

"I'm not short of money, but I've never made any money since I was a child. Playing cards doesn't count. Isn't this a way to try to be self-reliant? Alas, making money is really too difficult. I'm still suitable for just eating and waiting for death."

"This is just the beginning. It's much harder to make money." Han Zhou said disdainfully, "I really envy you for being able to just eat and wait for death, unlike me, who has nothing but struggle."

"It's okay. You have more to envy than these." Lin Anyu replied cheerfully, "Don't talk about me. Where are you? I know you are with a girl. It shouldn't be Guzheng, right?"

"You've seen it. Last time you were blind in front of her."

"Oh, I remember. Is she the girl with very white skin?" Lin Anyu was very impressed by what happened that day. After all, he had been exposed to the sun for half a day and was forced to pretend to be blind twice in a row. He replied, "But I'm not saying anything bad about you. This kind of game is suitable for young couples. You should call Guzheng over."

After all, they are classmates, so he personally prefers to see Han Zhou and Gu Zheng together. Besides, the more he looks at them, the more he feels that the relationship between these two guys is unusual, and it would be unreasonable if they were not together.

"You also know it's suitable for couples, so why did you and your cousin come to participate?"

"A distant cousin, a very distant one." Lin Anyu glanced at the girl beside him and added righteously, "And I was forced."

"I don't have as many ideas as you do. I'm not participating in this event for anything else. I just want to see if I can get the bonus. Okay, it's almost our turn. Let's talk later."

Han Zhou put down his phone. The game on the stage was still going on. It would be their turn after the next group, and it looked like it would only take a few minutes.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the stage, Zhong Ling's expression suddenly became nervous. Han Zhou thought she was worried about not being able to win, so he comforted her: "Don't worry, senior sister, we can do it. It doesn't matter if we can't win. Just think of it as joining in the fun. I heard that this has become a check-in point."

Zhong Ling hesitated and said, "But if you lose, you won't get the prize money. You will be very disappointed, right?"

Han Zhou finally understood what she was really worried about and asked in a low voice, "Are you afraid that we won't be able to win if we don't cheat?"

Zhong Ling nodded first, then shook her head: "I wasn't worried before, I was very confident, but after rejecting your proposal, I started to get scared again. What if I lose and you can't get the prize, then I..."

[The temporary task has been triggered. Please complete the "Telepathy" challenge without the help of the status bar to untie the knot in the heart of the target character Zhong Ling. The time limit is fifteen minutes, and you can get 15 points.]

Han Zhou was stunned. He didn't expect that a temporary task would be triggered at this time. However, he was not happy. Apart from anything else, the second part of the game was completely based on luck. It would be difficult to pass it without the help of the status bar. Was this really intended to test whether he and Zhong Ling were in sync with each other?

"It seems that Zhong Ling is hesitating whether to 'cheat' as I said before. She certainly doesn't want to do this, but considering my interests, she must be wondering if she is too stubborn and selfish..."

Han Zhou roughly guessed what Zhong Ling was thinking at the moment, and said indifferently: "Senior sister, do you think that we are not in tune with each other enough?"

This is the question the other party asked not long ago, and he is now asking it back.

Zhong Ling shook her head gently: "No."

"That's fine."

Han Zhou chuckled. Seeing that the other party was still struggling, he suddenly asked, "Senior sister, do you know why I told you about my past in the milk tea shop before?"

"Because I told you about my past, this is a courtesy..."

"Not only that, I think we are indeed quite similar. Although this is not very relevant to what I want to say now, I feel that if I don't explain it clearly, the senior sister may not understand."

Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment. Did this mean that she was stupid?

Han Zhou said: "Since I was little, my father would always remind me that my birth caused my mother's death. I do feel a little guilty about this, but I never think it is my fault. I live my life the way I should. Living negatively like my father would be a disservice to my deceased mother."

Zhong Ling nodded, as if she felt the same way and said, "Yes, my sister always taught me this way."

Han Zhou hesitated for a while: "If I'm not mistaken, you should also feel guilty, right? You think your parents' death is related to you, so you suddenly didn't want to continue talking about it."

Zhong Ling is a very easy to understand girl, and her thoughts are basically written on her face.

Zhong Ling tugged at the small cloth bag, took a deep breath, and nodded gently: "Not just mom and dad..."

Han Zhou knew that this was not the time to talk about this, so he interrupted, "I don't know what happened to you in the past, but I think you can be more confident."

"Justified?"

"I know a guy who, as long as she feels cheating is wrong, will never comply with my wishes, and will probably even beat me up to force me to change my ways, rather than suddenly feeling regret and remorse."

Zhong Ling was silent for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "Is your friend a girl?"

Han Zhou was stunned. Is this the point?

Also, how did you hear that?

Fortunately, Zhong Ling seemed to understand what he wanted to express. Just as she was about to speak, she found that the person in front of her suddenly walked forward. It turned out that it was their turn.

Han Zhou smiled and said, "Let's go, it's our turn now."

"Well, come on."

Zhong Ling nodded slightly.

The college entrance examination is tomorrow. I wish all the candidates a successful start and good results. Well, I will also take the college entrance examination tomorrow, and I am a little nervous...
