Han Zhou came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's okay, let's go digest the food."
He memorized the appearance of the girl named Yan Chujing and left the street with Guzheng.
Gu Zheng's method of digesting food is quite hardcore. It is to go to the amusement park and play exciting rides. This guy's body must be made of iron. He ate so much and did not vomit it out after riding the roller coaster and the pirate ship. Instead, he happily said that he had digested a lot.
Han Zhou was amazed. He could only say that people's physiques cannot be generalized.
You can’t learn it. You can’t learn it at all.
Time soon came to evening, and they made an appointment to meet Lin Anyu at the school gate. Then the three of them went to a specialty restaurant near the school together.
Lin Anyu never stopped talking along the way, and kept talking about how special this restaurant was and how the taste would definitely leave a deep impression on them.
Han Zhou found an opportunity to tell him about Yan Chujing. Lin Anyu was also a little surprised when he heard it, but soon he didn't take it seriously.
He is now ready to say goodbye to the past. Even if that woman is a monster, it has nothing to do with him. It is just the right time for him to make up his mind to break up online romance and pursue real-life love wholeheartedly.
The "real-life romance" he was referring to was obviously Bai Tongtong. Han Zhou did not comment on this. This guy always had a flash in the pan. He might like this person today, but he might like someone else tomorrow. He hoped that he would still have this determination when he came next time.
When she heard that Lin Anyu wanted to pursue Bai Tongtong, Guzheng was quite supportive. Although the misunderstanding about Lin Anyu liking Han Zhou had been resolved, she still felt worried occasionally. If this guy could pursue Bai Tongtong wholeheartedly, then she could be completely relieved.
She even cheered Lin Anyu up, encouraging him: "Most people have to be a couple for a long time before meeting their parents, but you have already entered this stage in advance, which means you have won at the starting line. There is a promising future ahead of you. Come on!"
Lin Anyu's smile froze. Thinking of the ferocious bald uncle, he didn't know whether he should accept Guzheng's "encouragement" or not.
But speaking of meeting the parents in advance...
He glanced at Han Zhou and Gu Zheng one by one, thinking that the two people in front of him were the ones who had truly won at the starting line. No, to say the starting line was too restrained. It should be said that the two people were just about to sprint at the finish line. He didn't know why they hadn't officially been together yet...
Lin Anyu has actually always been curious about this question, but has never asked it actively.
He knew that Gu Zheng had a huge appetite, so he ordered all the special dishes in the restaurant with a wave of his hand. Then he handed the menu to Han Zhou and Gu Zheng, telling them to order whatever they wanted as long as they didn't waste food.
Considering that he and Guzheng had already eaten quite a few snacks in the afternoon, and even after a "quick digestion" they might not be able to eat much, Han Zhou did not order any more dishes.
Gu Zheng probably had the same idea, so she just added a dessert and handed the menu to the waiter.
The three of them were chatting casually. Lin Anyu tried to ask Gu Zheng for information about Bai Tongtong, but Gu Zheng was completely in the dark. Although she was the class monitor in high school, she was not familiar with almost everyone in the class. The same was true for the girls. She had no idea what "boudoir secrets" were.
Lin Anyu didn't care. He didn't have any expectations for Gu Zheng's interpersonal relationships. He just asked casually and took the opportunity to bring up the doubts he discovered when meeting Bai Tongtong today.
"Are you saying that Bai Tongtong knows that Han Zhou and I have a good relationship?"
Gu Zheng was puzzled after hearing this, "What's so strange about this? Isn't it like this?"
Lin Anyu smiled bitterly: "Maybe you think so, but in high school, you seemed to be completely indifferent to Han Zhou in class. People who don't know you two probably don't know that you have a good relationship."
Gu Zheng looked at Han Zhou, who nodded: "That's true."
"Is that so?"
Gu Zheng thought about it and said, "That's a bit strange indeed. Bai Tongtong and I have an average relationship and we don't communicate much on weekdays. At least she won't know from me that Han Zhou and I have a good relationship."
Han Zhou shrugged: "Me too."
The three of them thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, they attributed the reason to Bai Tongtong's sharp intuition and then changed the subject.
As the waiter began to serve the dishes, Lin Anyu seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "I heard that you guys are going to watch a movie after dinner. Logically, I should drive you back home tonight, but my car has been borrowed and I can't use it tonight, so you may have to go back by yourselves."
"It's okay. We were planning to take a taxi back."
Gu Zheng said casually, her attention completely attracted by the delicious food on the table, her eyes shining.
Han Zhou found it a little strange. Lin Anyu said at noon that he wanted to go for a drive, but he looked normal. Maybe the car was really borrowed by someone.
"Han Zhou, I can only help you up to this point..."
Looking at the two people across the table, Lin Anyu said silently in his heart.
It was already 7:30 when the three of them finished dinner. Lin Anyu knew that Han Zhou and the other man were going to see a movie, so he didn't bother them anymore. After saying goodbye to them, he went back to school.
The cinema was not far from the restaurant where they were going to have dinner, so Han Zhou was not in a hurry. He and Guzheng walked leisurely to the cinema to check their tickets. The movie had just started when they entered the theater.
Guzheng was a little full after dinner, so she didn't buy Coke and popcorn. The main reason was that she was worried that the movie was too scary. If she didn't dare to eat, it might reveal the fact that she was afraid of watching horror movies.
Although this has already been revealed...
There weren't many people in the cinema, only about twenty at most, most of them were couples. The girl looked nervous, while the boy hid his smile amidst his nervousness, and their thoughts were all written on their faces.
The name of the movie is "No One's Hotel", and it naturally tells the story of a haunted hotel.
The story is about a group of six people who were traveling by car. Their car suddenly broke down in the middle of the night. They saw a hotel that was open in the wilderness. After checking in at the front desk, they moved into different rooms. Everything was normal. However, as time came to midnight, the hotel receptionist suddenly disappeared, and a series of horrible things happened one after another...
The story is not novel, and there are many logical flaws that exist in most horror movies. However, in terms of the horror level, it is still quite good, and the ending of the story does not abruptly involve hallucinations and dreams. This alone makes it much better than the domestic horror movies of the previous life.
Han Zhou felt quite satisfied.
However, Gu Zheng's viewing experience was not so good. She was tense throughout the whole process, ready to close her eyes at any time. She also had to devote part of her energy to control herself from screaming, so that her body moved completely on instinct.
Although she tried her best to appear not to be afraid, she almost stuck to Han Zhou like a curled-up cat before the movie was halfway through, and she was completely unaware of it.
Han Zhou laughed in his heart, changed his position slightly so that she could lean more comfortably, and then continued watching the movie.
There were constant screams in the cinema. As the plot of the movie progressed, almost all the couples hugged each other. Only their style was unique. Both of them were as motionless as a piece of wood.
After the movie ended, an easter egg appeared. Gu Zheng, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly tensed up.
Although she seldom watched horror movies, she knew that the Easter eggs in horror movies were usually placed at the end to scare people.
But she was worrying too much. This Easter egg had nothing to do with the content of the movie. It was a very short proposal video.
The lights in the theater suddenly turned on, and under the gaze of everyone, a man in the first row suddenly knelt on one knee in front of the woman next to him and held a diamond ring high in front of her.
"Miao Miao, marry me!"
The man proposed loudly, his voice was full of energy, but it trembled slightly, and it was unclear whether it was because of nervousness or because of the horror movie he had just watched.
The woman covered her mouth tightly with her hands, her face full of surprise and touching. Finally, amid the jeers of everyone in the theater, "Marry him," she accepted the ring and hugged the man.
Seeing the couple finally get married, the onlookers cheered.
Gu Zheng also waved her arms happily and said excitedly: "Han Zhou, Han Zhou, it's a proposal. This is the first time I've seen a live proposal. It's so romantic!"
Her face was full of excitement, her cheeks were a little red due to excitement, and her eyes were flashing brightly.
Han Zhou sent his blessing to the couple in his heart, and then sighed softly: "If we hadn't chosen a horror movie as the proposal scene, it might have been more romantic..."
He noticed that the makeup on the woman who had just been proposed to had been smudged, and he wondered if she had been scared and cried while watching the movie.
"You're such a killjoy."
Gu Zheng rolled her eyes at him unhappily, then curled her eyes.
The two left the theater. It was almost eleven o'clock. I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I realize that the movie is nearly three hours long. It is hard not to wonder how malicious the director is to the audience who want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the movie.
But then again, the protagonists in the movie escaped for three hours but still couldn't escape the fate of being wiped out, which was really hard for them...
Han Zhou shook his head in his heart. It was already late. He was wondering whether he should take out the surprise now or take a taxi back first, when he suddenly noticed a lot of noise in the distance.

Chapter 152 You Let Gu Zheng Answer the Phone
"Is there someone arguing over there?"
Guzheng also noticed the movement in the distance. There were many figures standing under the street lights, and it seemed that they were having a fierce argument. The shouting and cursing could be heard from far away.
Although it was difficult to hear clearly what the two sides were arguing about from a distance, one could tell from the scattered words how intense the argument was. There was a strong sense of tension between the two sides, and it seemed that a fight could break out at any time.
Han Zhou was not interested in this kind of quarrel. He glanced at them casually and then looked away, saying, "Don't worry about it. The school closes at twelve o'clock. If you don't go back, you will have to live outside."
"Oh."
Guzheng nodded. She didn't want to join in the fun, but was just a little curious about the reason for the quarrel between the two parties.
Han Zhou took out his cell phone and was about to hail a taxi using the taxi app when the phone suddenly rang. The caller was Chen Long.
Why is this guy calling me at this time?
Han Zhou was a little surprised and answered the phone immediately: "Hello?"
"Hey, Han Zhou!"
Chen Long's voice was very loud, accompanied by harsh and noisy music, sounding like he was in a bar, "It's me, Aaron!"
"I know it's you, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something!" Chen Long probably knew that his voice was too loud, so he raised his voice and asked, "Are you going back to the dormitory tonight?"
"Of course I will go back. I will be ready to go back soon."
"Then I have to remind you that Hi Ge and Lao Huo are both out and we won't be returning to the dormitory tonight. Do you have your keys with you?"
"That's not true..."
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, and said with a strange look, "Besides, didn't you tell me not to bring the key? You said you would all be in the dormitory tonight and could open the door for me at any time. Why are you all outside now?"
He vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
"What? Speak louder, I can't hear you!"
Chen Long shouted at the top of his voice, "Anyway, if you don't have your key, you'd better not come back tonight, or you won't be able to get into the dormitory!"
"Then I'll come over to get the key..."
"It's too late! By the time you find us and go back to the dormitory, the school gate will probably be closed! But I think I reminded you to bring your ID card before you left. If you really can't make it, just get a room outside tonight! That's it, Hai Ge seems to have vomited from drinking, I'll go check on him!"
Without giving Han Zhou a chance to speak, Chen Long quickly hung up the phone.
Seeing Han Zhou looking at his phone with a complicated expression, Gu Zheng beside him asked in confusion: "Han Zhou, what happened?"
Han Zhou shook his head: "Nothing, it's just that I probably won't be able to go back to school tonight..."
He told Gu Zheng what Chen Long said.
Although he was confused at this time, he did not think too much about it, so he had no idea that this was actually a "conspiracy" planned by Lin Anyu——
A "conspiracy" to make him and Guzheng stay outside together.
Lin Anyu watched the movie "No Man's Hotel" two days ago and knew that the movie was nearly three hours long. A movie that started at eight o'clock would have to be finished at eleven o'clock, which saved him the effort of finding ways to delay time.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, Han Zhou must return to school as soon as possible, because the drive between the two schools takes about 40 minutes, and the school gate will be closed at 12 o'clock, so he must hurry back.
Once Han Zhou finds out that he cannot enter the dormitory and there is not enough time left to think too much, he will most likely choose to stay off campus for a night.
Of course, asking the dormitory manager for a spare key is actually a feasible solution, but Lin Anyu knows Han Zhou. If he is not 100% sure that he can enter the dormitory, Han Zhou will most likely give up the option of returning to school. After all, it is not necessary to return to the dormitory.
