At that time, Gu Zheng thought that Han Zhou had already noticed that there was something wrong with those two people, so he said those words to test them. She also kept asking him how he found out. But only Han Zhou knew that this was the credit of "long-term illness makes a doctor".
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that there was an activity task on Mo Yixia's side. After completing the task, he could randomly upgrade a skill. It would be even better if he could upgrade "Long-term illness makes a doctor".
This skill has great potential. It's useless only because of the low skill level. Once it's upgraded, it will definitely have great potential. Just being able to tell if someone is sick is already very powerful. Apart from anything else, it will definitely be useful for setting up a stall and being a charlatan...
"Han Zhou, what are you thinking about?"
At the dining table, the sound of the zither brought Han Zhou back to his senses. He said, "I admit that your cooking is indeed a little better than mine, but that's only because I don't cook much. Don't be too proud."
She had just witnessed Han Zhou's skillful cooking skills in the kitchen, and now she had tasted the food. She knew that the only thing that could help her beat him was her knife skills. But she still refused to admit defeat. She just didn't focus on cooking.
However, the food Han Zhou cooked was indeed delicious, but the bowls in Lin Anyu's house were too small and not as convenient as the large bowls in her house. Thinking of this, she got up and added another bowl of rice.
Seeing this scene, Lin Youya, who was holding a small bowl across the table, was shocked and asked Lin Anyu in a low voice: "Little slave, did you count just now? Did Sister Guzheng eat her fifth bowl of rice?"
Lin Anyu was also a little surprised by this. He and Gu Zheng were actually not familiar with each other, or rather, no one in the class except Han Zhou was familiar with Gu Zheng. He had never eaten with her before, and he did not expect that this guy had such a big appetite. However, compared with her strange strength, this appetite did not seem exaggerated.
"Although you eat a lot, sister Guzheng is very strong." He lowered his voice and took the opportunity to advise, "Eat a lot to be healthy, and you have to eat well."
Lin Youya held the small bowl and nodded seriously.
She had originally planned to ask Han Zhou to help her prove to her friends that she was not bragging, but now she has given up this idea. She feels that she is no longer a naive child.
But the food cooked by brother Han Zhou is really delicious, better than that cooked by mom and the nanny. I should invite him to come over and play more often in the future.
But I still can't think of how to repay him for saving my life. This question is so difficult...
The little girl was very distressed.
Everyone ate in silence. Suddenly, Han Zhou seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Lin Anyu and asked, "By the way, Gu Zheng and I were busy in the kitchen just now and didn't have time to check our phones. You should have checked them. What happened in the group chat after you confessed?"
Hearing this, Gu Zheng, who had been eating with her head buried, also became interested and said excitedly, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it. I also want to know what happened next."
Seeing the two people looking at him eagerly, Lin Anyu looked a little unnatural, but he knew that it was useless to say anything, after all, they could check the group messages themselves later, so he had to pretend to be calm and said, "Nothing special, Bai Tongtong didn't reply, maybe she's shy."
Han Zhou observed his expression and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you harassed Bai Tongtong before and she got angry and blocked you?"
He still remembered that this guy had told him a method to test favorability before, and if nothing unexpected happened, he might have used it on Bai Tongtong.
And if Bai Tongtong had already felt disgusted with Lin Anyu at that time, then it would not be surprising that she did not reply to the message.
Lin Anyu's expression changed slightly, but he didn't deny the harassment, he said nervously: "It shouldn't block me, maybe I'm just shy..."
"I think I just simply don't want to pay attention to you." Gu Zheng added vaguely.
"It's also possible that he hates you and has no desire to reply." Han Zhou continued.
Lin Youya looked at the two of them and felt that she should say something, so she continued, "Also, maybe that sister's phone is broken."
Lin Anyu was overjoyed. He didn't expect that this girl would actually help him save face. It was worth it that he had just played with her for so long. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Youya continue, "Because she didn't want to see your message, she was so angry that she smashed her phone."
Lin Anyu's face darkened.
Gu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ask Bai Tongtong in private? There are usually two reasons why girls don't reply to messages. They are angry and don't want to reply, or they hate you and are too lazy to reply. If they really have something in mind, they won't delay replying for so long even if they feel shy after being confessed to."
Lin Anyu nodded thoughtfully, thinking that what Gu Zheng said made sense, but it felt like these words were specifically said to Han Zhou...
He pondered for a moment, slammed the table, and said, "Okay, then I'll ask now, but if Bai Tongtong is angry because of my confession just now, you have to help me testify."
Han Zhou and Gu Zheng looked at each other and said in unison, "Okay."
Lin Anyu put down his chopsticks, found Bai Tongtong in his Fetion contacts, and sent her a message.
"Are you there?"
Several minutes passed and Bai Tongtong still didn't reply. Lin Anyu felt helpless and shrugged at the two of them to indicate that it was useless. He was about to put down his phone and continue eating when he saw a video call from Bai Tongtong suddenly pop up.
He was startled by the ringing tone and asked in confusion: "Bai Tongtong didn't reply to the message, but called me, and it was a video call. What does this mean?"
"video call?"
Han Zhou raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but act as a military advisor, "Could it be that she is interested in you, and she didn't reply to your message before just because she was thinking about how to accept your confession. After all, simple texts are not serious enough, and it's too late to meet in person, so meeting face to face like this is more ceremonial?"
Gu Zheng looked at the two boys unhappily. Han Zhou was too abominable. He was obviously instigating them on purpose. But she didn't expose him. She said, "Why think so much? Can't you just answer the phone and ask clearly?"
Lin Anyu thought so too, and quickly found a mirror to look at himself, not forgetting to tidy up his hair. His cocky look made Lin Youya roll her eyes.
Seeing that his handsome face was impeccable, Lin Anyu sat upright, forced a decent smile, and answered the video call.
I thought I would see Bai Tongtong's quiet face first, but the person who appeared in the video was not Bai Tongtong, but a bald man with a face full of flesh, a very conspicuous scar on his face, and a cigarette butt that was almost burned out in his mouth. He was looking at Lin Anyu on the screen with a fierce look on his face.
Lin Anyu was dumbfounded. What was going on? Who was this gangster-like man?
After repeatedly confirming that this was indeed Bai Tongtong's flying signal, he suddenly changed color as if struck by lightning, and asked in doubt: "Who are you? Baldy, what do you want to do to Bai Tongtong?"
It's no wonder that he thought too much. The guy in the video doesn't look like a good person at all. He looks like a gangster. Considering that Bai Tongtong hasn't replied to messages in the past few days, which is similar to a lost contact state, what else could it be but kidnapping?
Seeing Lin Anyu's frightened look, Gu Zheng thought something had happened. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and was about to go and check, but Han Zhou reached out and held her back. She shook her head slightly, as if she was trying to hold back a laugh.
She was a little confused, and then she heard a shocking roar suddenly coming from Lin Anyu's phone, which scared Lin Youya so much that she dropped her chopsticks.
"Who am I? What do I want to do? I also want to ask you what you want to do!"
The bald man on the screen had a ferocious face and spit flying as he said, "I am Tongtong's father. You stinky boy, why do you send Tongtong all these messed up things every now and then? I wanted to scold you when I saw it before. Today, you even dared to confess in the class group. What do you mean? Do you want to die? "
"I'm telling you, I made this video today just to remember your face. You'd better not let me see you in the future, and don't let me see you and Tongtong together, otherwise I will beat you to death!"
Lin Anyu was completely dumbfounded, his mind went blank.
What the hell?
Is this guy who looks like a hippopotamus Bai Tongtong's father? Was he the wrong child?
He had a toothache.
It would be fine if the confession was just seen by the girl's parents, but he still remembered what stupid thing he had just done...
He actually called Bai Tongtong's father "baldy dead"!
it's over...
Lin Anyu was completely hopeless and immediately looked to Han Zhou for help, only to see the latter touching Lin Youya's little head and whispering, "Yaya, it looks like it's going to rain outside soon. We'll leave first and come back to play next time, okay?"
Lin Youya nodded obediently.
Guzheng was still eating as if no one was around, and seemed to be planning to eat a few more bites before leaving.
Damn, this guy Han Zhou clearly wants to escape!
Lin Anyu's heart trembled. Seeing Han Zhou's look that left him wishing for the best, he was completely in despair.
Seeing that Lin Anyu didn't say anything, the bald man on the screen shouted angrily: "Don't play dead, you little bastard, tell me your name if you dare!"
Don't know my name? Didn't Bai Tongtong leave a note for me?
Lin Anyu's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly saw a glimmer of life from the endless darkness. He took a deep breath and looked at the bald man on the screen.
"Hello uncle, my name is Han Zhou."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 80 But there is no sun today
Compared to the scorching sun when we came in the afternoon, the sky in the evening seemed particularly gloomy and cloudy, and it looked like a heavy rain would come soon.
Even though the sun has set, the temperature is still very high and the air is stuffy. I don’t know if the temperature will drop a little after the rain.
On the way to the subway station, Han Zhou recalled what had just happened, a carefree smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Lin Anyu, that guy, even though his face was already remembered, he still wanted to falsely report my name to get away with it. I don't know what he was thinking."
Gu Zheng glared at him and said, "What's so funny? And is it really okay for us to just run away like this? We should have stayed a little longer. We agreed to help him explain."
"You just feel hungry, right?"
Han Zhou saw through the girl's thoughts and said with a smile, "Of course I will explain, but I can't explain it in the video. Otherwise, what if your face and mine are remembered? Bai Tongtong's father is very fierce."
"What are you afraid of? He may be fierce, but he won't hit you."
"What if he hits me?"
"You're spineless." Gu Zheng gave him a displeased look and raised her fist. "It's not like I won't protect you."
Han Zhou looked at her profile, smiled and said nothing.
Gu Zheng was not bragging, she actually protected him in the past.
The cause of this incident is quite bloody. It was probably that there was a girl in the school who liked him and seemed to be quite obsessed with him. She often talked about him in private with her girlfriends. After hearing about this, another boy who liked this girl was unhappy. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He immediately found several students to cause trouble for him.
The incident happened after an evening self-study class. Han Zhou came to the playground to run laps. At that time, he thought that exercise might be good for physical recovery. It was not until later that he realized that there was not much significance in doing so. His current health comes from the status bar. The status is inherently floating. If the status is not stabilized, even exercise will not help improve the body.
He was physically weak and was exhausted after a few laps. Naturally, he was laughed at by the group of onlookers.
He was too lazy to pay attention, but these people came here deliberately to cause trouble, and soon surrounded him. Seeing that Han Zhou didn't even know why they were bothering him, the leading boy felt greatly despised, and pushed him hard a few times in anger.
Just then, the guzheng appeared.
She first warned these people not to fight in the school, then took advantage of someone's hand reaching out to shout and bumped into him with her elbow, and then she staggered and fell to the ground. The whole set of movements was smooth and seamless.
Then she got up and started.
It was from that day that Han Zhou first witnessed and experienced Gu Zheng's powerful fighting ability. It was also from that day that Gu Zheng taught him the key points of "being forced to counterattack" through her own actions.
No matter how exaggerated it is, or whether it is credible or not, at least the victim's appearance must be made clear before taking action.
This was a fight of a serious nature, so both parties involved were called to the office the next day.
There were not many people on the playground on the night of the fight, so not many people saw it. Gu Zheng and Han Zhou were the two best students in the school, so the school naturally did not want to punish them hastily. They planned to make a big deal out of a small matter and just wait and see whether the attitudes of both parties were correct enough.
Guzheng and the other man insisted that the other party was the first to attack, and judging from their appearance, they did look like the victims. Although the ones who were beaten were several boys from the other party, the school's main accountability targets are still these boys, who have criminal records.
This group of boys were the ones looking for trouble in the first place, so naturally they didn't dare to say anything. Besides, a group of grown boys were beaten up by a girl, so they didn't want to make such a shameful thing public. Therefore, they quickly admitted their mistakes with a very proper attitude.
The two sides quickly shook hands and made peace, and the matter was forgotten. There was no criticism or notice in the school, and basically no one knew about it.
In fact, if this matter was reported, once the news of Gu Zheng fighting for Han Zhou spread, there would definitely no longer be the saying of "suck-up", but rumors would gradually emerge that the two were in love with each other and had a tryst in the playground after class.
The reason why the head teacher asked Han Zhou to concentrate on his studies was not to ask him to stop bothering with the guzheng as everyone thought, but because he received instructions from the school, which believed that the relationship between the two was too close, and planned to provide them with psychological support to prevent both of them from suffering a drop in their grades.
There's no need to rush into love; it's not too late to do it in college.
As for why Gu Zheng was not mentioned, it was of course because mentioning two people's names at the same time would definitely cause unnecessary misunderstandings and create some disturbances.
Although it happened a long time ago, Han Zhou still remembers it.
I was not only surprised that Guzheng rushed out to protect me, nor was it just because I saw the strong side of the other party, but also because the incident itself was interesting enough.
To be honest, he didn't know the real reason why those people were causing trouble for him until the moment he entered the office, so when the school asked the leading male student about the reason and found out that the latter was actually jealous of a girl, he was already confused enough.
