"Of course we can find it. You should have heard the story of Kuafu chasing the sun..."
Han Zhou stopped talking halfway through his speech. The story of Kuafu chasing the sun was a story from the previous life, not this life.
Miao Yan'er's expression became a little strange, and she repeated, "Hips and abdomen chasing the sun?"
Han Zhou shook his head and said, "Anyway, I don't think there's anything wrong with Gu Zheng being the way she is now. Unless one day she wants to change, I won't make any suggestions."
Miao Yaner smiled narrowly: "Are you planning to support Xiao Zheng without any reason now? 'As long as it's you, I'm happy with it', this sentence left a deep impression on me."
"No, I have a reason, but it's all the same if there is no reason."
Guzheng is not someone who cares about what others think. If she doesn't want to compromise, then there is no need to compromise.
Han Zhou looked at the sun outside the balcony.
"The sun should shine as brightly as it can. It is born to be dazzling, so it is high in the sky. If it were to lower its temperature by 5,500 degrees to please someone..."
"Then it's not the sun."
This chapter took me a lot of effort. I am still not satisfied with it after revising it for a long time. I will probably make some adjustments. It should have been written at the end, but I decided to put it at the beginning. The next two chapters will be finished quickly. They will be sent out before five o'clock. I won't owe you anything.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 48 This is Favoritism
Shame, it's so shameful...
Han Zhou looked at the ceiling with an annoyed look on his face, feeling mixed emotions.
What kind of mental state was I in to say something like that?
With the end of the conversation not long ago, Miao Yaner ran to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Usually, Guzheng was responsible for washing the dishes, but because Guzheng cooked today, the task of washing the dishes naturally fell on her as a mother.
The division of labor between mother and daughter is very clear.
Han Zhou suspected that he was most likely affected by the side effects of ending his elite bootlicker status, causing his emotions to fluctuate more easily than usual, which was why he said so many words in a fit of excitement.
This is Guzheng's biological mother. How dare I teach her so shamelessly? What about the sun shining...
Han Zhou was extremely embarrassed and he didn't know how Sister Miao would laugh at him in secret.
At this moment, Gu Zheng walked out of the room with an unhappy look on her face. The huge bowl of rice in her hand was empty. This guy said he was on a hunger strike in protest, but he didn't treat his stomach badly at all.
Han Zhou reminded him, "Your mother went to wash the dishes. She said there's some rice left in the pot. If it's not enough, you can add more."
"Do you think I'm a good-for-nothing?"
Gu Zheng glanced at him viciously, walked silently to the rice cooker, opened the lid and looked inside, then said, "I'll eat when I come back. You can go out for a walk with me."
"Now?"
Han Zhou was stunned, looking at the glutton in front of him.
"What's wrong? Aren't you full?"
"I am full indeed..."
I get angry when I mention Han Zhou. He was full from drinking the soup and didn't even have a proper bite of rice. He would probably be very hungry at night.
Dog lickers harm people.
"Let's go." Gu Zheng didn't say anything. She walked to the door and started to change her shoes. At the same time, she reported loudly, "Mom, let's go out for a while!"
"Be careful! Remember, you can't hit people casually! I taught you how to use self-defense properly!"
Miao Yaner's voice came from the kitchen, and the reminder she gave was quite tough.
Are you a gangster?
Han Zhou put on his sunglasses while complaining and went out with Guzheng.
Although the sun was about to set, the air was still unusually hot and dry. One could feel the scorching heat as soon as they stepped out of the door. The two took the elevator and went downstairs without saying a word.
Han Zhou remained silent because he was embarrassed. After all, he had just said those words to Gu Zheng not long ago. Given this guy's temper, he was already giving him face by not throwing a few combo punches at him.
As for why Gu Zheng didn't say a word, no one knew. Logically, she should have asked him what he talked about with Sister Miao as soon as they went out, but at this time she didn't seem to care at all.
As an old residential area, Huadu is not big, even very small. Most of the residential buildings are close to each other, and the remaining gaps are filled with green plants. The roads left are quite narrow, and there is not much space for walking. So Guzheng got off the elevator and took Han Zhou out of the community.
Han Zhou greeted the security guard and asked, "Where are we going?"
"There's a park on the left ahead. We've been there before."
Gu Zheng tied her hair up and looked very quiet. She usually smiled when she spoke, but her indifferent expression at this moment gave her the feeling of a quiet girl.
The clouds in the west were dyed into gorgeous fiery clouds, and half of the sky was illuminated red, spreading all the way to the horizon, as if bidding farewell to the sun that was about to set.
The breeze brought the hot air, blowing along with the girl's hair. She suddenly stopped, looked up and stared at the scene, her lips slightly parted, with a somewhat touched expression.
"What a nice view."
Han Zhou thought it was normal and sighed, "You probably rarely look up, so this kind of scene is very common."
Gu Zheng retracted her gaze and said unhappily, "Do you think I'm as idle as you? When you don't come to see me, I'm usually at home."
"doing what?"
"Studying, exercising, doing housework... In short, a lot of things. But this is a holiday. If I were in school, I would probably spend most of my time studying."
"You're so cool then."
"..."
The two came to a park in the old city. The park was not big, and there was no one around. There was almost no scenery worth seeing. However, after walking a little further in, you could see a swing, the kind you could step on, and it looked quite old.
Guzheng likes the swings here very much, because she can swing very high, and no one can compare to her.
When children see this scene, they will be amazed and jump up and down to call their friends to come and watch, but their parents usually pull the children away in a hurry because they think this behavior is too dangerous and may lead the children astray.
Not everyone can be like Guzheng.
Han Zhou was a real weakling. He could only swing on the swing twice, almost like an old man. But at this time in the past, Gu Zheng would run behind him and push him hard, and once she saw his embarrassed look, she would hold her belly and laugh.
Then he sent the newbie away with a look of disdain and demonstrated the real fun of swinging himself.
However, Guzheng did not do this today, nor did she swing high as usual.
Looking at the girl standing on the swing and gazing into the distance, Han Zhou suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Is Guzheng going for an artistic style? So he tiptoed behind her and pushed the swing hard with all his strength.
I have to say, his face with sunglasses and sneaky look made him look like a criminal on a scouting trip.
With his full force pushing, the swing suddenly swung much higher and faster. Gu Zheng's hair and clothes fluttered instantly, and the dolphin pendant on her neck swayed as well, but she was not afraid at all, nor did she scream like an ordinary girl.
She just looked at Han Zhou with contempt, then smiled helplessly.
"Han Zhou, you are so childish."
"Heh, that's not what someone said when he pushed me like this before. Instead, he said it was a kind of experience."
Han Zhou pushed the swing hard again. Seeing that Gu Zheng looked normal, he knew that revenge was hopeless. He could only sigh and accuse her, "Besides, you used much more strength than I do now."
Guzheng felt the hot wind blowing by her ears and said slowly, "That's because I can catch you no matter what and won't let you get hurt, but can you catch me?"
She glanced at Han Zhou.
The latter thought carefully for a moment and said hesitantly: "That shouldn't be possible, you are quite heavy..."
Gu Zheng didn't say anything. She took advantage of the swing falling to give him a punch, which made the annoying guy shut up.
Han Zhou suffered a loss and quickly hid aside, rubbing his arm and saying, "I may not be able to catch you, but I believe you will not fall, so there is no need to worry about this kind of thing."
Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled complacently, her eyes curved into crescents: "That's right, unless there is something wrong with the swing, I will definitely not fall off."
This sentence sounded too much like a flag. Han Zhou's heart tightened suddenly. He immediately got on high alert and was ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time. Fortunately, the quality of the swing was better than expected and there was no problem.
Guzheng stopped talking and just swayed on the swing silently. Its swaying shadow stretched out long in the setting sun.
Standing on the swing, she could just see half of the setting sun sinking into the western hills. She didn't look at it for long before she fell into deep thought, looking as if she was in a daze.
Her expression suddenly became a little strange, and she asked, "Han Zhou, what does 'hips and abdomen chasing the sun' mean?"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, then said unhappily, "You are eavesdropping."
Gu Zheng curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "It's because you spoke too loudly... So what does this word mean?"
She actually didn't intend to eavesdrop at that time. She just wanted to go out to get some food, but suddenly she heard Han Zhou and her mother talking, so she hid behind the wall and listened for a while.
Well, this can only be considered as eavesdropping at best, not eavesdropping.
"Literally."
Han Zhou was vague. Kuafu chasing the sun was a mythological story from his previous life and he didn't want to explain it in too much detail.
"Literally..."
Gu Zheng's expression became more and more strange. She shook her head and hesitated for a moment. Suddenly she mustered up the courage to ask loudly, "Han Zhou, you said I am your sun. Is this true?"
Her voice was full of energy, but she turned her head away when she asked this question, obviously not wanting Han Zhou to see her expression.
I did say that you are like the sun, but where did I say that you are my sun?
Han Zhou smiled bitterly in his heart, but he did not deny it: "Yes, it's true."
Gu Zheng's lips curled up, but soon she turned stern and asked, "But I have a bad personality, will you hate me in the future?"
She didn't point to any particular aspect of her character, but her voice sounded a little uneasy, as if she was worried about hearing a negative answer.
No one spoke, and even the wind stopped at some point. The surroundings were eerily quiet.
Gu Zheng felt a little scared for no reason after not hearing Han Zhou's answer for a long time. She turned her head quickly, only to see that this guy had come to her side without her knowing. He was standing by the swing and looking into the distance. His sunglasses reflected the red light of the setting sun, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. At first glance, he looked quite handsome.
"Gu Zheng, have you forgotten something?" He spoke in a deep voice, as if he was talking about something very important.
"what?"
"I can't live without you."
It would be more handsome if he wasn't so mean.
Although it was still the same irrelevant words, Gu Zheng's face showed a bright smile, and it seemed as if a big stone had fallen from her heart. She tilted her head again and said with great compassion: "Then I will let you live well."
Although there was no direct answer, Han Zhou's meaning was already very clear.
She smiled broadly.
Han Zhou also laughed. He was worried that Gu Zheng would continue to be in a depressed mood, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.
