Chapter 57: You won’t be angry after hearing this, right?
The short man drove away hurriedly in the truck with the new tires.
In order to express his gratitude, Zhong Yin specifically said that the tire change was free, but the short man insisted on paying and left his contact information, saying, "Those stupid...those guys might come again. When the time comes, you can call me and I will deal with them."
His expression was quite complicated when he said this, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. He was almost about to say "I've been through this before." I guess he was remembering the times when he was collecting debts for others.
He helped Zhong Yin not out of kindness, but simply to thank Han Zhou for his help last night. Besides, those guys with mixed hair looked like they were not a big deal, so it was no big deal to provoke them.
Han Zhou was very thick-skinned. Although he had not done much work just now, he followed suit and gave his contact information to Zhong Yin. He said seriously, "You can also call me and I will punish them."
Zhong Yin now returned to his indifferent attitude, taking off his gloves while repeating: "Repair?"
I'm just translating what that guy said...
Han Zhou complained in his heart, but his face was righteous: "They left the car here, which means they have an excuse to come back. Maybe they will bother you again when the time comes."
Zhong Yin had a blank expression on his face: "So you think that in order to avoid their entanglement, I should let you entangle Xiao Ling and me?"
"Please don't look at me with tinted glasses. I don't want to pester you."
"So you want to harass Xiao Ling?"
You are really good at judging people...
Han Zhou said seriously: "That's not what I meant. I mean, I'm not doing this to entangle you."
"Then what are you doing?"
Zhong Yin wiped the sweat off his face with a towel. "You just heard the name Chen Zixiao, right? He is someone I knew before. At that time, he approached me under the banner of helping me solve my problems. I also thought he was a friend I could trust, but you saw the result."
There was no expression on her face, but a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, she handed the other towel on the hook to Han Zhou.
Han Zhou was a little surprised, thinking that emergencies are still useful. After thinking for a while, he asked curiously, "So is he your boyfriend?"
Zhong Yin gave him a cold look and said, "I said no, what do you want to do?"
"Just asking casually."
Han Zhou wiped the sweat off his face with a towel. He had previously thought that this woman was hurt by love, but now it seemed that this was not the case. He did not intend to answer the other party's previous question and asked, "So do you still plan to repair this motorcycle?"
He looked at the old motorcycle parked in the repair shop.
"Of course we have to repair it. This way they won't have a legitimate reason to cause trouble. But don't worry, let's go in first. Remember, don't tell Xiaoling about what happened just now."
"Yes." Han Zhou agreed readily.
"Also, there's no one around now, so you can still return that punch to me. You can't regret it after you get into the house."
"Can you please stop thinking about this?"
"..."
When the two returned to the house, Mo Yixia was watching a video on her phone with Zhong Ling.
The phone used was of course Zhong Ling's broken-screen phone. Jiang Baiqian was very strict and Mo Yisha's phone could not be used casually. Moreover, her phone was very expensive. Now as a poor sister, it was not convenient for her to take it out, otherwise her character would be ruined.
It seems that the two of them get along pretty well. Zhong Ling is now very self-aware and knows that others can hardly hear what she says, so she chooses to communicate in this non-verbal way.
But this undoubtedly gave people a very strange feeling. Perhaps it was because she was feeling a little uneasy. She was clearly the owner of this room, but she seemed a little restrained.
Seeing Han Zhou and the other person enter the room, Mo Yixia smiled sweetly and said, "You guys are back. We were just about to play chess."
She looked Han Zhou up and down without any concealment, as if she was examining a criminal suspect. The latter's face darkened. He always felt that this guy's eyes were malicious, as if he was suspecting that he had been beaten by Zhong Yin and was looking for the wound.
"What chess are you going to play?"
Zhong Yin took over the conversation gently. This woman had never concealed her double standards from the beginning. She was gentle and calm when facing Mo Yixia, but extremely cold when facing Han Zhou. Even though the latter had just helped her once, her tone of voice still seemed very stiff.
Han Zhou observed Zhong Ling's lips and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he answered quickly: "Don't tell me yet, let me guess... chess! It must be chess, right?"
He saw Zhong Ling's lips move, and judging by the shape of her lips, they should be the word "chess". He was quite confident in his conclusion.
Mo Yixia smiled: "Brother is really hardworking. The chess box is clearly in my hand, but brother doesn't even look at it. He insists on exercising his intelligence by giving up his eyes and relying on guessing."
She was indeed holding a chess box in her hand. As she spoke, she took the chess pieces out of the box and placed them one by one on the chessboard.
There are many kinds of chess in Zhong Ling's house, which should be the entertainment method used by the two sisters to pass the time.
Han Zhou felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He had been concentrating on observing Zhong Ling's lips since he entered the room, and he didn't even notice this. It was really embarrassing.
However, he was very strong in psychology, pretending not to understand what was said, and asked calmly: "When did you learn to play chess?"
He didn't doubt it, he just found it interesting.
Mo Yixia doesn't have many opportunities to show herself on a daily basis. All she does is study. If we exclude the somewhat abstract agent skills, the only normal skill Han Zhou knows of her is cooking.
She has always been incomplete, bound by her mother and hiding herself, and she doesn't even know whether the part she reveals is real.
At this moment, Mo Yixia seemed to have completely immersed herself in the play. She rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Brother, I know a lot of things. How come you don't understand me at all?"
Han Zhou's scalp tingled. Why did he feel that these words sounded a bit like coquettishness? Are you really Mo Yixia?
Zhong Ling smiled slightly and thought that this brother and sister pair was very funny.
The two girls soon started playing chess on the chessboard. They were both fair-skinned girls with long hair flying in the air under the blow of the electric fan, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Han Zhou moved over and wanted to see how good the two men were at playing chess.
He thought he was pretty good at playing chess, and since Mo Yixia had been insulting him, he had to seize the opportunity to teach this guy a lesson.
Zhong Yin also stood by and watched for a while. The three girls had long fluttering hair and the fragrance from their bodies kept entering Han Zhou's nose. It was a pity that the short girl didn't see this scene, otherwise she would never have said something like "It's not easy for you" just now.
Han Zhou's attention was all focused on the chessboard at the moment. The two girls were obviously not novices, and they played chess quite well. However, Mo Yixia's level seemed to be slightly inferior. It didn't take long for her to be defeated by Zhong Ling and was killed by the opponent's horse.
After playing a few more games, Mo Yixia didn't win a single game. She was always one move behind. But Zhong Ling was very serious and had no intention of letting up. He would rearrange the chess pieces as soon as he finished a game. With such momentum, Mo Yixia soon achieved the achievement of five consecutive defeats.
This aspect of Zhong Ling is very similar to Gu Zheng, but the latter does not care about the so-called social conventions at all, while she is more like being completely immersed in the chess game and forgetting about the social conventions.
Seeing that Mo Yixia was about to die again, Han Zhou was about to laugh at her, but she suddenly looked up and complained, "Brother, Sister Ling is so powerful, I can't beat her, please help me get revenge!"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and almost burst into tears - Sister, was this also part of your plan?
He almost forgot that, just like Mo Yixia pretended to be bad at math and physics, she might have also pretended to be no match for Zhong Ling just now, just to let her "brother" take action and take the opportunity of the game to get in touch with Zhong Ling.
It's so thoughtful.
But isn’t it a bit too exaggerated that this guy can achieve this level?
No, there must be something fishy...
Han Zhou was a little suspicious and sat opposite Zhong Ling instead of Mo Yisha. Zhong Ling didn't say anything about it. She placed the chess pieces, glanced at him, and started playing chess.
The only person who might have some complaints was not here at the moment - Zhong Yin was busy somewhere else.
Han Zhou cheered up and played chess with Zhong Ling silently.
In fact, as of now, although Zhong Yin's attitude remains tough, the plan to contact Zhong Ling is still progressing steadily, and Mo Yixia has made an indelible contribution to this.
Thinking of the other party's usual character, Han Zhou was a little moved. Although this guy had been sarcastic to him today, everything he did was to help him. As long as he didn't engage in any conditional exchange in the end, he would definitely praise this guy afterwards.
"elder brother."
As if she had heard Han Zhou's thoughts, the next second, Mo Yixia, who was standing aside watching the fight, suddenly spoke.
"I suddenly remembered that there's something I haven't told you yet. Will you be angry if I hear it?"
Han Zhou's mouth twitched and he suddenly retracted his hand, feeling that the chess pieces were a little hot.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 58 Screen Name and Notes
When Han Zhou heard that Mo Yixia had something that could make him angry that she hadn't told him yet, he stopped playing chess and asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"
"I'll tell you if you win."
Mo Yixia smiled faintly and handed him the water, appearing quite attentive.
"is it?"
Han Zhou was suspicious, thinking that this guy was deliberately disrupting his chess thinking, so he did not dare to be careless and devoted his body and mind to the game.
Zhong Ling played chess very quickly and rarely thought too much. Each move took no more than three seconds, and a crisp sound was made on the chessboard. In comparison, Han Zhou's speed seemed a bit slow. After all, he hadn't touched chess for a while and needed to get familiar with it.
Zhong Ling did not urge him either. She kept her head down and focused on the situation of the chess game. She did not even look up at Han Zhou for a long time. Her two small hands were folded on her round thighs. From time to time, she tidied her hair that was messed up by the fan. She looked quite peaceful.
Her eyes were big, bright, and quite clear, just like the clear blue sky outside the house, pure and simple, without the slightest impurity. Her small oval face looked a little childish, and her red lips were plump, giving people an irresistible urge to protect her. If one only looked at her appearance, Han Zhou would find it hard to imagine that this was actually a senior schoolmate who was one grade older than him.
Thinking of this, Han Zhou took advantage of Zhong Yin's absence to try to strike up a conversation: "Senior, what is your major in college? How is the cafeteria at Lincheng University? Is the dormitory environment good?"
He didn't just want to strike up a conversation; these were indeed the issues he cared about. Although he had chosen Lincheng University, he had never learned about the specific situation of the school. He only remembered that Guzheng said it was not bad.
Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment. Perhaps it was because it was the first time she heard the title "senior sister", a sense of ritual appeared on her face. Her waist straightened up a lot, and she opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she did not open her mouth. Instead, she carefully took out her mobile phone and quickly typed a line of text.
Han Zhou's phone rang. He took out his phone to check and found that it was indeed a Fetion message sent by the other party.
“Department of Finance.”
“Delicious, but a little pricey.”
"The girls' dormitory is very good. I don't know about the boys, but I heard it's a four-person room."
These three very simple messages answered Han Zhou's three questions one by one.
I didn't expect it to be from the Finance Department...
Han Zhou moved the car forward and asked, "I heard there is a big lake in the school?"
This time I was just chatting, the kind that made small talk.
Zhong Ling was not impatient. She first moved a chess piece and then typed on her phone: "Yes, it's called Angel Lake. It's very beautiful."
"How beautiful?"
"very beautiful."
"Really? Then I'd like to see it..."
Han Zhou wanted to say more when he suddenly smelled a fragrance. He turned around and saw that it was Mo Yixia who had come closer to him and the brim of her hat almost poked him in the face.
Perhaps due to his current identity as a younger sister, this guy had no awareness of snooping into other people's phones. He first read the message sent by Zhong Ling, and then suddenly said in surprise: "Oh, so the note you gave to Sister Ling is Big Eyes Girl, how rude."
Han Zhou glanced at her and said unhappily, "This is not a note."
