It must be said that his demonstration was quite good. He even imitated Ouyang Lianyu's demeanor and tone of voice, fearing that the other party would not be able to grasp the key points.
Ouyang Lianyu was silent.
Han Zhou urged, "Hurry up, teacher. Please don't make demands on me like this. It's too late."
The time limit for triggering the mission is only twenty minutes. If the mission cannot be triggered within twenty minutes, it means that this opportunity has been wasted, so he needs to seize the time to make various attempts and prepare for the next use of the mission detector.
He wasn't making fun of Ouyang Lianyu, he just suddenly remembered that in the game, many NPCs would start their quests with a pleading tone like "please", so maybe he could get the quest this way?
But Ouyang Lianyu obviously didn't think so. She just felt that she was being teased again. She was a counselor, but she had to say something like "please" to her students. How could this be?
"Impossible!" She said coldly, "Even if I asked you to do something, you still wouldn't listen and you still wanted to make fun of the teacher."
Han Zhou thought about it and asked tentatively: "How about you change your request?"
"Just shut up and watch the parade, that's all I ask of you now."
"This request is quite simple..."
Han Zhou was silent for a few seconds, still unwilling to give up, and looked at Ouyang Lianyu eagerly, "Can't you really say it again in a beg you way?"
Ouyang Lianyu closed her eyes in pain: "Do you really have to write a self-criticism?"
Han Zhou didn't say anything, just stared blankly into the distance for several minutes without saying a word.
Seeing his dejected look, Ouyang Lianyu felt a little sorry and asked, "What's wrong with you today? Are you worried about something?"
Han Zhou was silent for a long time, then said with a sad face: "Teacher, you probably don't know about my family situation, right? My mother passed away very early, and I never saw her since I was a child. I never felt her love, and I never had the chance to repay her kindness for giving birth to me. I only saw her in photos, which is a big regret in my heart."
"I have always wanted to make up for this regret and do something to compensate my mother, but she has passed away, so I can only put my thoughts on making up for it on other people and find a spiritual sustenance. However, I have never had any female elders. You are the first one and you are very similar to my mother, so I want to do something for you to make up for this regret."
His tone was sad, and Ouyang Lianyu felt a little distressed. She asked softly, "Are you telling the truth?"
"it is true."
Han Zhou nodded. It was true that his mother had passed away, and he was not afraid to verify it. However, what he said afterwards was of course nonsense.
He didn't really want to deceive Ouyang Lianyu, and he still felt a little apologetic in his heart, but the twenty minutes were about to be up, and he wanted to try a new idea.
"So, Mr. Ouyang, I just want to meet one of your requests. I promise I have no other intentions. You can tell me if you have any requests."
"is it?"
Ouyang Lianyu was a very gentle person. Even though she had been cheated once, she did not doubt Han Zhou's words. After thinking for a while, she said, "How about this? You come with me this afternoon. There is something you should be able to help with. Is that okay?"
[Temporary task has been triggered]
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 139 Temporary Mission
"Um... Teacher Ouyang."
"Ok?"
"I have something to confess to you..."
"You've lied to me again?"
Han Zhou was stunned and asked in surprise: "Did you figure it out?"
"Of course, if you think about it carefully, you will know that you are talking nonsense. If you really regard me as your mother's spiritual support, you will not be so disrespectful to me. If you think that I can't even see this, then you underestimate the teacher."
"As expected of Teacher Ouyang, you are indeed very smart." Han Zhou flattered him, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Then aren't you angry?"
"Not too angry."
Ouyang Lianyu smiled gently, "You haven't submitted your self-criticism and letter of guarantee yet. Just add another thousand words to each. And although I don't know why you want to meet my requirements so much, it's not bad to have free labor. There's no need for me to be angry. And..."
She paused, and her tone suddenly softened, "Your mother must have passed away a long time ago, right?"
Han Zhou was startled and asked in surprise: "How did you know?"
"I told you not to underestimate teachers. I am willing to believe that most students will not lie, but that doesn't mean I can't tell the difference between truth and lies."
Ouyang Lianyu said helplessly, "But if you really dare to use this to deceive me, then I will definitely be angry."
"Then I wouldn't dare."
Han Zhou smiled bitterly and pushed the wheelchair forward.
It was just eight o'clock and the sky had almost completely darkened.
The area near Lincheng University is very prosperous, with colorful lights on both sides of the street and huge signboards shining. Fashionably dressed college students are talking and laughing as they walk through the streets, occasionally stopping in front of a milk tea shop or a cart carrying fried skewers of snacks. Those who recognize Ouyang Lianyu will greet her from afar, and Ouyang Lianyu will greet them back with a smile.
Seeing a student who came to offer milk tea being politely turned away, Han Zhou said with deep emotion: "Teacher Ouyang, you must be very popular in school, right?"
Ouyang Lianyu smiled and said, "Yes, it is quite tall. You have also heard of my nickname, 'Wounded All Over' Ouyang Lianyu, one of the six famous people in the school."
"Although you deserve the name, a nickname won't make you that popular. I guess you must be very nice to the students?"
"It's not that we're very close, we're just getting along normally." Ouyang Lianyu shook her head and said, "Also, you don't have to say the previous sentence."
"You're too modest. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen a teacher like you who is greeted by students wherever he goes. Do you have any tricks?" Han Zhou asked curiously.
"As long as you are willing to say hello to others more often, people will say hello to you over time." Ouyang Lianyu said earnestly.
"Forget it then." Han Zhou lost interest instantly. "It's troublesome to say hello to everyone I meet."
"You know that's not what I meant."
Ouyang Lianyu turned around and rolled her eyes at him. Seeing him pushing the wheelchair with one hand, she couldn't help but look worried. "But is your hand really healed? Will it be a problem for you to help me push the wheelchair like this?"
Han Zhou said confidently: "It's okay, my right hand is completely healed, and the left hand will be able to remove the plaster in a few days. I can't say more, but it should be no problem to push a wheelchair with one hand."
Seeing his relaxed expression, Ouyang Lianyu gradually felt relieved. She couldn't help but recall the scene when the other party grabbed the wheelchair that was sliding down at high speed to save her. She smiled and tucked up the hair that fell by her ears.
In the future, many people will be willing to take the initiative to say hello to such people.
Han Zhou couldn't see her expression, and couldn't help asking, "Teacher Ouyang, what exactly do you want me to do for you? You can tell me now, right?"
Although the temporary task was successfully triggered, the task prompt did not clearly state what he needed to do to help Ouyang Lianyu. It only said that he needed to fulfill the other party's current wishes, so he still didn't know what he needed to do.
However, the mission reward was quite generous, as much as twenty-five points, which made him quite motivated.
Ouyang Lianyu smiled and said, "Come with me to buy something."
"Just like that?" Han Zhou was a little surprised.
Is it so easy to earn points now?
"of course not."
"What else?"
Ouyang Lianyu was silent for a while, then said sadly, "Actually, I have a blind date tonight, but my family forced me to go."
"and then?"
“But I don’t want to participate.”
"so?"
"So I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend and come home with me to meet my parents."
Han Zhou laughed dryly: "No, teacher, that's not how you tell lies. At least make your story more convincing. Who would go on a blind date in a wheelchair?"
He thought for a moment and then gave a serious advice, "In my opinion, you might as well make up this story. Say that you had a conflict with your parents and your relationship became strained. You haven't been in touch with them for a long time. But today, you were deeply touched by what I said and suddenly had an epiphany. You felt that things shouldn't have turned out this way, and you shouldn't have any regrets about getting along with your parents, so you wanted to ease the relationship with them or something..."
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
He felt that this way of telling the story made more sense, but when he saw Ouyang Lianyu suddenly turned around and looked at him with a look as if she had seen a ghost, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly admitted his mistake.
"I was wrong, teacher. I shouldn't have taught you how to lie. It's just that the blind date you mentioned is too cliché..."
"The blind date is indeed fake. I wanted to play a joke on you. Who knows you wouldn't fall for it."
Ouyang Lianyu took her eyes off him after a long while. She also wanted to let Han Zhou experience the feeling of being deceived, but she couldn't compare to this guy in terms of her ability to talk nonsense. She sighed and said, "But how did you know what I was thinking?"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment: "What's the idea?"
"As for what you just said, about the conflict with your parents, how did you know about it?"
"I was just talking nonsense..."
Han Zhou looked puzzled, then suddenly realized what was happening and said with a strange look on his face, "Could it be that I was right?"
Ouyang Lianyu nodded gently. A gust of evening breeze blew by, ruffling her hair, and she tidied it up carefully.
Han Zhou was stunned: "Are you still joking?"
"No."
"That's a shame, but this is between you and your parents. I can't help, right?"
Ouyang Lianyu heard the resistance in Han Zhou's words and said helplessly: "I didn't ask you to help me do this, I just need you to be a laborer for one night."
"That's good."
Han Zhou finally felt relieved and didn't need to meddle in other people's family affairs.
He pushed his wheelchair to the supermarket where he bought fruit last time.
During this process, Ouyang Lianyu also roughly recounted the conflicts between her and her parents. It was probably that Ouyang Lianyu's parents had implemented stick education on her since she was a child, had very strict requirements on her, and liked to impose their will on her. In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she cut off contact with her parents.
The more Han Zhou listened, the more familiar it sounded. He thought, wasn't this the same story about Gu Zheng's family that he had lied about the first time he visited Ouyang Lianyu?
It can only be said that some people listen to the story, while others look in the mirror. No wonder Ouyang Lianyu's expression was so complicated at that time, as if she felt the same way...
It’s true that every family has its own unforgettable experience.
Ouyang Lianyu didn't say much, and Han Zhou didn't ask much either. They went to the supermarket and bought a lot of things under Ouyang Lianyu's arrangement. There was a mix of everything, and he couldn't figure out the purpose of these things for a while.
Although there were a lot of things, they were not heavy overall. Obviously, the "coolie" Ouyang Lianyu mentioned did not mean helping her carry things. She didn't even think of asking Han Zhou for help, but put the things on her legs.
The two went to the cashier to pay the bill. Han Zhou was thinking about the purpose of these things when he suddenly saw Ouyang Lianyu looking at the cashier on the other side with a gentle expression. He couldn't help but follow her gaze.
On the other side, a family of three was paying the bill.
I saw a man took a lot of ice cream and put it in front of the cashier. He counted them and felt something was wrong. He lowered his head and said to the round-headed boy, "Didn't you say you wanted nine yellow ice creams? Why did you only take eight?"
The boy was too short to see the cash register and couldn't count them to confirm, but he still shook his head seriously and said firmly: "No, I clearly took nine, not eight."
The woman at the side smiled and said, "There really are only eight. You took one less. You must have counted wrong. Do you want to get another one?"
The man ordered in a serious tone, "Go get it."
