Forced into a relationship

Han Zhou shuddered and his eyes almost popped out. He thought to himself, did you install surveillance cameras next to me?

He calmly changed the subject: "Stop talking nonsense, where is your mother?"

It wasn't just to change the subject. He was indeed curious about where Jiang Baiqian was going. Generally speaking, she would stay at home in the morning.

"out."

Mo Yixia didn't say much, suddenly picked up the pen and said, "Come here and teach me this question. I have been calculating for a long time but I can't get it right."

Han Zhou nodded and walked forward to check the questions. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Mo Yixia's father suddenly walked into the study, deliberately making his footsteps sound heavy, and walked straight behind the two of them, looking at them without saying a word.

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

The man said coldly: "Xia Xia, have you forgotten what I told you? A guest is coming today, so why don't you ask your teacher to leave? My words don't seem to work on him."

However, subsequent facts proved that his words were not only ineffective on Han Zhou, but even more ineffective on Mo Yixia.

Mo Yixia seemed to be completely deaf to his words. She handed the paper and pen to Han Zhou and said, "Go ahead. This is the draft paper."

Seeing that Mo Yixia didn't care, Han Zhou naturally didn't care either. So he immediately took the draft paper and started explaining as if no one was around.

"The question is this..."

Seeing himself being exposed to the sun, the man's face suddenly became ugly. He wanted to get angry but didn't dare to: "I've called your mother, let her come and tell you later!"

"Want to eat oranges?"

Mo Yixia picked up an orange.

"No, just listen carefully."

"Shall I peel it for you?"

"I told you to listen carefully."

"..."

The man was so angry that the two men not only ignored him, but became even more aggressive.

"Mo Yixia doesn't seem to care about this father at all..."

Han Zhou was secretly pondering the story between Mo Yixia and her father, but suddenly noticed something.

The question that Mo Yixia was asking was obviously calculated by her herself. The corresponding calculation process was on the draft paper, and the result was completely correct.

This is certainly not a strange thing. Mo Yixia pretends to be a top student who is good at only one subject. This kind of questions are not difficult for her. She usually asks questions and does exercises just to pretend to deal with Jiang Baiqian, and takes some time off in the process. This is something she and Han Zhou know tacitly.

Han Zhou knew very well that Mo Yixia could solve this problem, but what really caught his attention was another thing.

He discovered that Mo Yixia had added some punctuation marks during the calculation process that shouldn't have appeared on the draft paper. And it wasn't just one or two, but they appeared repeatedly, hidden in each formula, and it was difficult to notice if you weren't careful.

Commas, question marks, quotation marks.

An ordinary person would probably subconsciously ignore it, as it was just a few punctuation marks. However, Han Zhou had an excellent memory and of course remembered the punctuation codes that Mo Yixia had set not long ago. Considering that this seemed to be the first time that the other party had taken the initiative to hand him the draft paper, he couldn't help but be shocked.

what's the situation?

In Mo Yixia's code, the comma represents that she is under some kind of surveillance, and she needs to speak properly at this time. In this guy's words, it means "there is a traitor, stop the affair." In short, they have to behave like a normal teacher and student pair, and must not let this "illicit love affair" be discovered.

But the problem is that this guy didn't seem to speak properly just now...

Of course, the question mark also has a meaning. It means that Mo Yixia has something to ask him, but cannot ask it for various reasons. Therefore, Han Zhou must figure out what the question is and give the corresponding answer. It is a very strange request.

However, what Han Zhou cares about most is the quotation marks in the book title, because in the code set by Mo Yixia, quotation marks in the book title have a very important meaning -

"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 was in doubt. They had just practiced using punctuation yesterday, so it was unlikely to be a coincidence. And Mo Yixia was unlikely to joke about this...

So the other party is in danger now?

But where does the danger come from?

Han Zhou looked at Mo Yixia calmly, expecting the latter to give him a look, but unfortunately the latter didn't even look at him. She just listened to him explaining the exercises seriously, as if she was completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

During this period, Mo Yixia's father had been watching coldly from the side, and seemed to be planning to stay in the study.

"I can't tell whether this guy is nervous or not..."

Han Zhou was a little distressed. He felt that Mo Yixia would not play tricks on him, but he was not sure what the danger she was referring to meant. Was it related to personal safety or was it referring to the situation of being taken away?

After thinking it over, he still felt that the former was more likely. After all, if it was the latter, the other party would not have to remind him in such a subtle way...

If the meanings of commas, question marks and quotation marks are combined, it would be a bit scary. It means that the other party is now in a dangerous situation of being monitored and restricted, unable to speak, and having to send secret codes for help...

hiss--

Imprisonment of girls?

It can't be that outrageous, right?

The more Han Zhou thought about it, the more frightened he became. He only regretted that he did not have Mo Yisha's "mind-reading" ability, and he really couldn't guess what the other party wanted to express.

He collected his thoughts and pointed at the draft paper and said, "This is how it is solved. The process is not complicated, but there are some small traps to watch out for. Do you understand?"

He winked at the other person secretly.

"understood."

Mo Yixia nodded slightly, then asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with your eyes? You keep blinking. Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Han Zhou almost had a myocardial infarction: "Nothing, I didn't sleep well last night, I feel a little sleepy..."

"I have coffee at home, would you like some?"

"no need……"

This guy is pretending to be stupid. Han Zhou suddenly felt a toothache. Just as he was about to speak, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. It was Jiang Baiqian calling.

He answered the call.

"Hey, is it Xiao Han?"

"it's me."

"I just heard from my husband, you are at my house, right?"

"Correct."

“Well… it’s like this.”

Jiang Baiqian's voice was a little nervous. "I'm so sorry. My husband has a bad temper and is not very good at talking. But he is right. Xia Xia really doesn't need a tutor in the future, so can you please leave first? We have guests at home today. I will explain the specific reasons to you later. Don't worry, your salary will be settled until the end of the month."

Han Zhou glanced at Mo Yixia who was concentrating on doing the questions and frowned, "Can I see you before I leave? I have some questions I want to confirm."

Jiang Baiqian apologized, "I'm sorry, I won't be home until the afternoon, and my husband hates strangers coming into contact with Xia Xia... so I have to let you go."

"I understand." Han Zhou sighed.

Seeing him hang up the phone, the man next to him finally took action and said impatiently: "This call is from my wife, right? She must be your employer, and now she doesn't agree to let you stay in my house any longer, so please leave immediately, otherwise I will call the police!"

Han Zhou looked at him strangely: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

The man snorted coldly and said nothing.

Han Zhou looked at Mo Yixia beside him, as if asking her what she meant.

"My mom called?" Mo Yixia asked.

"Ah."

"She asked you to leave my house?"

"Yes, or the kind of leaving that never comes back."

"And leave now!" the man added.

"Really?" Mo Yixia said calmly, "Then you can leave. The notes you gave me before are in this box."

She pulled out a box from under the desk, seemingly not caring whether Han Zhou stayed or went.

Han Zhou looked at her deeply, rummaged in the box for a while, found all of Gu Zheng's notes, packed them up and put them aside.

"Can I go to the bathroom before I leave?"

"Go."

Mo Yixia thought for a while, and suddenly handed him two apples from the fruit plate on the table, "You can eat these, I don't like them."

"Thank you."

Han Zhou put the apples into his pockets, one on each side, and walked straight into the bathroom.

The man looked at the closed bathroom door in surprise, wondering why this guy would bring an apple to the bathroom? Would it taste better in the bathroom?

About five minutes later, there was a flushing sound in the bathroom. At the same time, the air conditioner in the room suddenly stopped working and the lights in the study suddenly went out.

Mo Yixia looked normal, but the man frowned.

"Is there a power outage?"

He was looking at the extinguished light above his head in worry, and didn't notice a figure quietly approaching the study door, and when he was not prepared, he threw the apple in his hand hard at the back of his head.

The man was wondering why there was a power outage when he suddenly felt a pain at the back of his head. His eyes went dark and he fell straight to the ground, falling into a complete coma.

Obviously, the person who threw the apple was Han Zhou. He ran into the house quietly and confirmed that the man was indeed unconscious. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and came to Mo Yixia, looking serious and asked, "What happened?"

"what do you mean?"

Mo Yixia also lowered her voice and the brim of her hat, looking at the man lying on the ground with some surprise, “Also, why did you beat him to death?”

"Don't worry, he wasn't killed, he was just knocked unconscious." Han Zhou said he knew his limits.

Mo Yixia was even more confused: "Is there any difference? So why did you knock my dad out?"

"Of course because..."

Han Zhou was about to answer, but suddenly his expression froze, as if he couldn't believe his ears. He asked in disbelief, "What the hell?"

Mo Yixia sighed and repeated, “I asked you why you knocked my dad out.”

"Is this guy really your dad?!"

Han Zhou was dumbfounded. This was completely different from what he had imagined!

"if not?"

Mo Yixia's tone was somewhat helpless.
