Han Zhou nodded and said, "Don't you find it strange? Both of us have good memories. Logically speaking, if we have seen Xiaoxiao, we shouldn't have only a little impression of her and can't remember her at all..."
At this point, he smiled bitterly, "Also, that girl is the same age as us, don't call her like a child."
The elevator door opened, and the two walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the fourth floor.
"I can't help it. She looks too much like a middle school student. I was shocked the first time you said she was your classmate."
Gu Zheng looked thoughtful. "I am actually quite concerned about this. A girl like this... a girl with such unique characteristics should be hard to forget after seeing her. But we don't remember her. It's really strange..."
She reached into the bag and secretly ate a grape while Han Zhou wasn't paying attention.
Han Zhou shook his head: "Let's put this matter aside for now. Let's take care of business first. When you see the counselor later, don't say anything. Just act like a harmless good girl. I'll tell you what you want to say."
Gu Zheng raised her eyebrows and said unconvincedly: "What do you mean by pretending to be a harmless good girl? If I don't pretend, will I not be a good girl?"
The only thing you can associate with a "good girl" is probably the word "girl". Don't you know that...
Han Zhou glanced at her and said unhappily, "I've never seen a good girl steal the fruit that was to be given to a patient."
Seeing that she was caught cheating, Gu Zheng felt guilty and quickly explained, "How can this be called cheating? Didn't you say you would buy me an extra bunch of grapes?"
Han Zhou laughed and said, "I did say that, and I did buy you an extra bunch of grapes, but you should at least take it back and eat it first. Otherwise, what will others think when they see half a bunch of grapes left?"
"It doesn't matter. I can finish the rest in no time. You can have some too."
Gu Zheng didn't care. She pulled off a small bunch of grapes and handed them to Han Zhou, and stuffed the rest into her own mouth.
Han Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This guy said he was full before, but now he started eating again.
He didn't take the grapes, but said, "I can't eat any more. You can eat these too. Just don't get sick."
The elevator door opened again, and they had arrived at the fourth floor. The two came to the door of a ward. After confirming that the room number was correct, Han Zhou knocked on the half-open door, then pushed it open and walked in.
"Teacher Ouyang, let me see..."
There were two beds in the ward, one of which was empty. There was a person lying on the other bed. It was Ouyang Lianyu, who was wearing a hospital gown. She was lying on the bed with her long hair disheveled. Her right foot in a plaster cast was hung high. She looked tired and listless.
Han Zhou originally wanted to come in and say hello, but when he saw this, he immediately shut his mouth, turned around with a stern face and was about to leave.
"Han Zhou?"
However, Ouyang Lianyu obviously heard his voice, and immediately turned her head to look over, narrowing her eyes and asking, "Where are you going?"
Han Zhou paused and said seriously, "I'm going to go out and answer a call. I'll come back later."
Ouyang Lianyu was silent for a moment, then turned her head to glance at her right leg that was hung high up. She seemed to understand something and said expressionlessly, "Laugh if you want to. Just stand here and laugh. You don't have to go out specially."
"Teacher, you misunderstood. I am in a very sad mood right now. How could I possibly laugh at you?"
Han Zhou walked to the bedside with a heavy expression, placed the grapes on the table next to him, and asked tentatively, "But can you tell me how your leg was injured this time? The last injury should not have healed completely, right?"
He was really curious. To be honest, if he had Ouyang Lianyu's physique, he would have been able to cure all injuries by "long-term illness becoming a doctor", right?
Ouyang Lianyu certainly wouldn't answer, lest this guy burst into laughter again. He said unhappily, "Didn't you say you wouldn't come to see me? Why did you come anyway?"
"Of course I was joking. In fact, I was worried about you, so I rushed here right after dinner."
Han Zhou showed his courtesy and asked with concern, "By the way, teacher, have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
"Are you full?"
"I am full."
"Do you need some fruit after dinner? I brought you some grapes."
"No, thank you, and I should have told you not to bring anything."
Han Zhou pretended not to hear and continued, "I heard that grapes have many benefits, especially for people like you..."
Ouyang Lianyu couldn't stand it any longer, so she forced a smile and interrupted, "You didn't come here to talk nonsense, did you?"
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the guzheng behind Han Zhou, wondering, "And I just wanted to ask, who is the person behind you, your friend?"
"Yes, her name is Guzheng. She came with me to visit you." Han Zhou introduced with a smile. Guzheng laughed at his servile appearance.
"That's it."
Ouyang Lianyu smiled, cast her eyes towards Gu Zheng, and said in a gentle tone, "Gu Zheng, right? Thank you for taking the time to come and visit me."
His expression was gentle and his voice was soft, which was completely different from his attitude towards Han Zhou.
In fact, this is the state Ouyang Lianyu shows when facing most students. Her attitude towards Han Zhou is rare.
Ouyang Lianyu had a smile on her face. Seeing that Gu Zheng hadn't said anything, she squinted her eyes and looked at her carefully. She couldn't help but ask with concern: "Gu Zheng, what's wrong with your face? Is it swollen?"
Is your guzheng swollen?
Han Zhou was stunned, he turned his head to look at Gu Zheng, his expression instantly fell, he saw that this guy's cheeks were bulging, it was obvious that they were stuffed with something, like a hamster, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were swollen.
Guzheng's chewing movement paused, and she turned her head away guiltily, while her cheeks continued to move.
She had just stuffed all the grapes into her mouth in one breath, but she hadn't finished chewing them until she reached the door of the ward. Han Zhou walked straight into the ward, so she had no choice but to follow him in.
Han Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought that this was a good thing. At least this guy couldn't speak now, so he could barely pretend to be a good girl. However, he soon realized something and asked, "Teacher Ouyang, are you not wearing contact lenses today?"
In fact, you don’t need to ask to know that you can’t even tell whether Gu Zheng’s face is swollen or not. This guy is definitely not wearing glasses.
Ouyang Lianyu said, "Contact lenses are not suitable for farsightedness. I only wear them occasionally. Most of the time I wear ordinary glasses."
Han Zhou hesitated for a moment: "Then your ordinary glasses..."
Ouyang Lianyu was a little embarrassed and said, "I put it on the bedside before, but I couldn't find it just now. It must have fallen under the bed."
"It's okay, I'll help you find it."
Han Zhou was about to bend down to look for it, but was stopped by Gu Zheng. She frowned and shook her head at him. It was a quite normal expression, but with her bulging cheeks, she looked like a meat bun.
Han Zhou almost laughed out loud. He of course understood what Gu Zheng meant. The other party was worried about his hand, so she asked him to stay where he was while she was responsible for finding the glasses.
There was nothing to argue about, so he just stood there without moving.
"Thank you."
Ouyang Lianyu thanked him softly. She took a short nap after dinner and found that her glasses were missing when she woke up not long ago. She was wondering whether she should ask the nurse to help her find them, but then Han Zhou came.
If you think about it carefully, even though this guy doesn't respect her very much, at least his concern is real. Even though this concern has a certain purpose, if you think about it from another perspective, this guy is at least the first person to visit her.
To be honest, when she saw Han Zhou guess that she had been hospitalized again in the afternoon, she felt embarrassed and angry, but also felt incredible. After all, in a sense, this guy knew her quite well...
While he was thinking, Han Zhou's depressed voice suddenly rang out in the ward: "By the way, teacher, I forgot to answer you just now. Gu Zheng's face is indeed swollen, and it's swollen from crying."
After these words were spoken, Ouyang Lianyu and Gu Zheng were both stunned, and the latter turned around and glared at him fiercely.
Han Zhou ignored it and said sadly: "You also heard what happened on the playground the day before yesterday. Guzheng was the girl who kicked someone, but there was a reason for that..."
He described the scene of that day with tears in his eyes, but he did not add any exaggeration or nonsense. He just focused his narrative on his own psychological activities and the follow-up of the incident.
"After that, Gu Zheng couldn't even eat every day, and she cried every night. You don't know, she has been weak and sickly since she was a child, and she is shy. She can't stand the torture of tears. After crying for two nights, her face was swollen..."
This part is of course a lie. Guzheng was confused. Sickly? Shy? Do these two words have anything to do with her?
Ouyang Lianyu couldn't see Han Zhou's expression clearly, and was skeptical when she heard what he said, and asked worriedly, "Is it that serious?"
"Of course."
Han Zhou said worriedly, "We dare to take responsibility for our actions and are not afraid of the school's punishment. I don't mind what happens, but Guzheng's family has always been strict and they also use stick education. If they knew that she got into trouble in school... Sigh."
Ouyang Lianyu seemed quite touched. She was silent for a long time before she said, "I understand what you mean, but don't worry too much. If anything happens, I will be responsible for negotiating with your parents. Besides, this matter is not as serious as you think. There is no need to make a fuss about it."
Of course she could tell that Han Zhou was playing the victim. He had been calling her “you you you” non-stop since he entered the door. His only purpose was to protect the girl named Guzheng.
Try to be careful...
She said helplessly, "I have negotiated with the school. You will not be punished for this incident. Both of you have admitted your mistakes in a very positive manner, so just writing a self-review will be enough."
"Is this true?" Han Zhou wondered, "Didn't you say that the parents of the party involved came to cause trouble?"
"It is true. It was the parents of the girl surnamed Liu. They were very aggressive yesterday and insisted that the school give an explanation. But they stopped pestering us this morning and said they were willing to accept the school's handling of the matter."
A girl named Liu?
Han Zhou thought about it, could it be that guy named Liu Qiumin? No, this conflict has nothing to do with her, what does she want to explain?
He wondered, "Why did they suddenly stop bothering each other?"
Ouyang Lianyu shook her head: "I don't know about that. Maybe it's too much trouble. I'll help you find out when I have time."
Her understanding of the incident basically came from her colleague's account over the phone, and she was not very clear about the specific circumstances.
Han Zhou didn't care, as long as nothing happened. However, the next second, he suddenly thought of something and said stiffly, "They stopped bothering us this morning, and the school also decided to let us write a self-criticism... So the matter was over this morning, wasn't it? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Doesn’t this mean it’s a wasted trip?
Ouyang Lianyu blinked her eyes and a triumphant smile appeared on her face: "Sorry, I forgot."
Of course she did it on purpose. This guy liked to joke around, so she would joke around with him too to see who would suffer first.
This time she won.
Hearing Han Zhou's bitter tone, Ouyang Lianyu felt proud.
Just then, a hand reached out from the bedside and placed a pair of glasses in her hand.
Apparently, Guzheng had found the glasses under the bed.
"Thank you."
Ouyang Lianyu smiled gently, thinking that this child was indeed quite shy. He had not said a word since he entered the door. However, being too gentle was not a good thing. How could he let his face become swollen from crying over such a small matter?
She took the glasses and put them on, then turned around and saw a girl with short hair. She was stunned for a moment. The girl's appearance was beyond her expectations. She was quite beautiful, with big eyes, but her face was swollen. It turned out that she was swollen...
Ok?
She was stunned for a few seconds, veins on her forehead throbbing, and she looked at Han Zhou suddenly, took a deep breath and said, "Tell me again, is her face swollen?"
Han Zhou took a few steps back without changing his expression and explained: "I was also surprised when I first saw it, but the doctor said that this is called internal swelling, and it is said that the cause is..."
Gu Zheng couldn't stand listening to these words anymore. She quickly swallowed the grapes in her mouth, hit him with her fist, and then said to Ouyang Lianyu: "I'm sorry, Teacher Ouyang, he just likes to talk nonsense, don't blame him, my face is not swollen, I just kept eating and couldn't speak."
Ouyang Lianyu had a good sense for the guzheng and said with a smile, "It's okay, as long as you're fine."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Han Zhou with a frown and asked, "Han Zhou, how could you lie to the teacher?"
Han Zhou laughed awkwardly: "I just thought that you must be bored here alone, so I wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere... By the way, is there no one to take care of you now that you are in this state?"
"Don't change the subject!"
