After staring at Han Zhou for a while, Gu Zheng suddenly curled her lips and said reluctantly: "But don't be complacent, I just haven't practiced much, otherwise I can do what's in the video..."
How am I proud? And...
Han Zhou was struck by lightning, his jaw dropped in shock. He hesitated for a moment and said, "What you mean by this... is it the same as admitting that your throwing skills are not as good as mine?"
He found it unbelievable that Guzheng would one day admit that she was inferior to others. It was simply a fantasy. He even suspected that he had heard it wrongly.
Gu Zheng gritted her teeth and said unwillingly: "No, I just didn't practice much, otherwise I would definitely be better than you!"
“Well, that’s true.”
Han Zhou nodded in agreement. To be fair, his throwing skills originated from the guzheng. Without this skill, the opponent would definitely be stronger than him.
Hearing this, Gu Zheng felt a little embarrassed. She thought Han Zhou was trying to accommodate her and her eyes avoided slightly.
She tucked her hair behind her ears, hesitated for a moment, and muttered softly, "There's no need to be so modest. It's true that you're a little better now, but only a little bit! It's probably the difference between positive infinity plus one and positive infinity..."
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment and thought that today's class monitor seemed particularly cute. Who said she was difficult to get along with?
The two of them chatted back and forth, as if they had completely forgotten that there was another person present.
Lin Youya had been looking up at Han Zhou, acting very well-behaved. When the conversation between the two ended, she couldn't wait to say, "Brother Han Zhou, you are so awesome!"
Han Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This little girl changed her expression so quickly. Before, she had a sour face and refused to say thank you, but now she changed her expression to "Brother Han Zhou is so awesome".
He returned the phone to the other party and suddenly felt that the phone looked familiar. He asked suspiciously, "Whose phone is this?"
"It belongs to Lin Datou!"
Lin Youya smiled sweetly and betrayed Lin Anyu directly. "I saw him hand the phone to my uncle before he went downstairs. He was smiling obscenely and said something like he would ask the agents to dance with him later. Remember to take a picture of Han Zhou's dancing."
At this point, she said proudly, "However, Lin Datou's evil plan did not succeed. I used a little trick to stop the agent's performance and successfully dismantled his conspiracy!"
"The spy show was forced to end due to an accident. What does it have to do with you? How can you come up with a trick with your melon seed-sized brain?"
Lin Anyu appeared behind Lin Youya at some point, snatched the phone away, and said in amazement, "You're so shameless at such a young age. When I was your age, I was too shy to even talk to an older sister."
Han Zhou gave him a look of contempt, but he ignored it.
"Anyu, you can't say that about Yaya."
There was another person standing next to him, a woman with burgundy hair and wearing high heels. She was well-maintained and looked to be no more than 30 years old. Her voice was very soft, as if she had no temper. Her tone was clearly dissatisfied, but it sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
"Yaya, I told you not to run around, why are you not listening again?"
Lin Youya secretly stuck out her tongue.
Lin Anyu put the phone in his pocket and introduced with a smile: "My aunt, Yaya's mother."
At the same time, Chen Xinyou turned her gaze away from her daughter and showed a kind smile on her face: "Hello, my last name is Chen, just call me Aunt Chen."
Han Zhou and Gu Zheng said hello.
"An Yu said that you three are classmates. You are all handsome men and beautiful women. There are more guests today than expected. Please don't mind if there is any inadequacy in the hospitality."
Chen Xinyu was a very easy-going person who spoke in a soft voice. Soon she was chatting and laughing with the two young men, praising them non-stop.
She looked at Han Zhou, suddenly bowed slightly, and said sincerely: "Classmate Han Zhou, I know that Yaya is safe and sound thanks to you, I am really grateful."
Lin Youya is an only child. If something really happened to her, it would be like the end of the world for their family.
Lin Youya had been watching from the side, and seeing this, she followed suit and quickly bowed to Han Zhou, her head almost dropping to the floor: "Thank you so much, Brother Han Zhou!"
Han Zhou never knew why this girl's attitude changed so quickly. Was it just because she watched a video?
Before he could speak, Lin Anyu said to Lin Youya earnestly, "Brother Han Zhou is my friend. I took great pains to invite him here today, so I deserve half the credit for your rescue. You should thank me, understand?"
"Bah, shameless!"
Lin Youya glared at him sideways and said dissatisfiedly, "You still have the nerve to say that I am thick-skinned..."
Chen Xinyou touched her daughter's head and said softly, "Yaya, don't be rude."
Then he looked at Han Zhou and said softly, "Yaya seems to like you very much. This child is usually a little naughty. If there is any offense..."
"I'm not naughty."
Lin Youya was afraid that these comments would damage her image, so she interrupted her mother quickly, but her voice sounded obviously lacking in strength.
"Han Zhou glanced at her and asked curiously, "Why does this child suddenly like me?"
Lin Anyu said sourly: "It's because she watched the video and then thought you were so awesome and handsome, just like the protagonist in the anime she watched."
How could he not be jealous? He, the legitimate cousin, had never heard Lin Youya call him brother before. She always called him ugly nicknames like "Lin Big Head". But Han Zhou called Yaya brother on the first day he met her. He was so envious and jealous that he almost had a breakdown.
"Yes, Brother Han Zhou looks like the leading actor. No, no, no, he is the leading actor!"
Lin Youya's eyes lit up and she danced with excitement. It seemed that she had completely forgotten about her "superpower" that had been taken away from her.
Chen Xinyou looked at her daughter tenderly, then looked at Gu Zheng and the other person, and said, "Anyway, you two can come to our house and An Yu's house anytime in the future. Yaya likes playing with her brothers and sisters very much, so please don't feel restrained today and have fun."
Gu Zheng nodded quickly and said with a smile: "I will definitely go if I have the chance."
She likes children very much, especially cute little girls like Lin Youya.
At this moment, she saw Lin Youya looking around, as if looking for something. Just as she was about to ask, she saw the girl suddenly look up at her and asked, "Sister No. 2, where is the sister who looks like No. 1?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Han Zhou and Lin Anyu changed.
The smile on Gu Zheng's face became stiff, and there was only one thought left in her mind.
Forget it, I'm not going. This kid doesn't seem to welcome me...

Chapter 24 It’s not impossible
"What second female lead sister? She has a name, Sister Guzheng."
Lin Anyu corrected unhappily, secretly observing Guzheng's expression.
"Oh."
Lin Youya followed suit and asked with a blink of an eye, "Where is the leading actress, Sister Guzheng?"
You did this on purpose, didn't you? Lin Anyu was horrified and said quickly, "That sister shouldn't be called the female lead sister. Don't force the characteristics of the characters in the anime to correspond to reality. This is very rude, understand?"
Without giving the other party a chance to speak again, he changed the subject and said in surprise, "Hey, Guzheng, the pendant on your neck looks familiar. Did Han Zhou give it to you?"
Gu Zheng came back to her senses, without a trace of embarrassment on her face: "Yes, I gave it to you last year."
"It's true."
Lin Anyu seemed to be reminiscing, and said with emotion, "I remember that he took an advance on his winter vacation salary and kept asking me for advice, saying that it was his first time giving a gift to a girl and he didn't know what to choose, tsk tsk tsk."
In fact, he did not make it up, but what he said was slightly different from the facts. It was true that Han Zhou had received an advance on his salary at that time, but it was not for buying gifts.
The pendant he gave to Guzheng was actually not worth much money. After all, she was just a high school student at the time, and he himself was not rich. He could not afford too expensive gifts, and he never thought about giving her one.
However, the first time he gave a gift to a girl and the matter he discussed with Lin Anyu were both true, so Han Zhou didn't say anything and just glanced at this guy.
Gu Zheng also looked at him and asked casually, "Is this true?"
"it is true."
After receiving a positive answer, Gu Zheng instantly frowned and stroked the fish-shaped pendant on her neck, but said dissatisfiedly, "You almost didn't recognize this pendant?"
Han Zhou was a little embarrassed. The gift was chosen by staff officer Lin Anyu. He only remembered that the pendant meant "with you". He didn't care much about the rest. He felt that many pendants looked similar.
However, even though she complained, Gu Zheng couldn't hide the smile on her face. Lin Anyu was secretly amazed and thought to himself, if this guy didn't like Han Zhou, I would eat his shoes on the spot.
Just then, Lin Youya suddenly spoke.
Lin Anyu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, but when he wanted to stop it, it was too late.
"In the movie "Agent", the protagonist gave a pendant like this to his childhood sweetheart, the second female lead, but he ended up getting together with the first female lead."
The smile on Guzheng's face froze.
Lin Youya's face was full of melancholy, and she continued, "The second female lead cherished this pendant very much. At the end, someone asked her why she didn't confess her love for him. You two were obviously childhood sweethearts."
"The second female lead tightly grasped the pendant, shook her head and said, 'There is no way he and I can be together, I'll just keep this feeling in my heart. It's said that fish only have a memory of seven seconds, maybe our meeting was destined to be short-lived from the beginning, but even so, I will always live in these 'seven seconds'."
Seeing the girl sighing repeatedly, Lin Anyu said with great sorrow: "You can't even recite a few ancient poems, how come you remember this one so clearly!"
But this "Agent Operation" sounds interesting. Maybe I can watch it as a documentary when I get back...
Lin Youya glanced at the stupid Lin Datou with great pride and sneered, "How can a fool like you understand love?"
"Yaya, don't talk nonsense."
Chen Xinyu was educating her daughter helplessly, and suddenly she felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a little strange. Wasn’t that girl named Guzheng very happy just now? Why was she so distraught now?
Lin Anyu signaled to his aunt with his eyes to stay calm, and then glanced at Gu Zheng, only to see that the latter had a dull expression, as if her soul had been taken away.
He sighed in his heart, not knowing what to say for a moment. He thought that Lin Youya did it on purpose, but her eyes were very clear, and she admired Han Zhou very much, so she would not cheat him.
But she couldn't say that she did it on purpose. This guy's every word was a critical hit, and almost every word hit Gu Zheng's weak spot.
Looking at Han Zhou again, this boy was obviously stunned as well, with an expression of doubt on his face.
Lin Youya was confused and looked around. Could it be that the story I told was so touching that Brother Han Zhou and Sister Guzheng were stunned?
"Han Zhou."
After a while, Gu Zheng's eyes finally lit up. She stared at Han Zhou fiercely, like a wolf staring at a lamb. "How long do you think a fish's memory is?"
Looking at her fist hidden behind her back, Han Zhou knew that if he gave a wrong answer he might have to lie down for a long time, so he gave the answer solemnly.
"At least seven hundred years!"
"Seven hundred years?"
It can be seen that Guzheng is quite satisfied with this answer and she should not get beaten.
Lin Youya looked at her mother blankly: "Mom, can fish's memory last that long?"
Isn't it true that a fish that can live for seven hundred years is more powerful than a great shark?
Chen Xinyou stared at Han Zhou and the others, and seemed to understand something. She smiled softly and said, "It depends on how long the fish wants to remember."
……
After the birthday party started, Lin Youya was dragged to blow out the birthday candles.
She seemed very reluctant about this and ran away after a while. Before leaving, she slapped a piece of cake on Lin Anyu's face.
