In order to get to the coffee shop early to help Lin Anyu deal with his online love interest, he got up very early today. In addition, he had not been idle the whole day, so he felt sleepy soon after he sat down, and his eyelids kept fighting.

In a daze, he heard a cell phone ringing beside the bed, so he picked up the phone and answered it.

"Hey?"

"It's Uncle Gu... Yes, we are together now... Are you asking about Gu Zheng? Oh, she is taking a shower now."

"Hello? Hello?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then Gu Lang's almost gritting voice was heard.

"Let Gu Zheng answer the phone!"

Chapter 153 Time Management Master

"No corner should be left untouched!"

"Look under the lights. Check every light one by one. Don't miss any!"

"And the TV. Look at the set-top box. What's that glowing thing? Is there something on the ceiling? Quick, quick, go and have a look. Pay close attention to everything facing the bed!"

"..."

When Gu Zheng came out of the bathroom drying her hair, she saw Han Zhou, with a look of despair on his face, busying around the room with her mobile phone in his hand, looking around here and there, even under the bed, as if he was looking for something.

She walked behind Han Zhou and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "What are you doing?"

Seeing Gu Zheng finally come out of the shower, Han Zhou felt as if he had been pardoned. He immediately handed her the phone and said with a wry smile, "You'll have to ask your dad about that."

"My Father?"

Gu Zheng was a little confused. She took the phone and saw a huge eye suddenly appeared on the screen. She was immediately shocked and almost threw the phone away.

Fortunately, at this moment, the eyes that occupied the entire screen quickly zoomed out and were replaced by a gloomy face. It was Gu Zheng's father Gu Lang.

This is a video call.

What... Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and wondered, "Dad? What are you doing?"

"What else can you do?"

Gu Lang sighed, "Of course I'm helping you check if there are any pinhole cameras in the room. I've always told you that you have to be more careful when staying in a hotel these days. Did you check the bathroom before you took a shower just now?"

"I checked it, it's fine."

Gu Zheng grew up listening to Gu Lang's various safety educations, so she still has a strong sense of prevention. She said, "What I want to ask is why you called me at this time?"

Gu Lang got angry when he thought of this and sighed again: "If I hadn't called you at this time, how would I have known that you would actually check into a room with Han Zhou in the middle of the night?"

Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then she realized how embarrassing the situation was. Her expression became a little unnatural, and she said calmly, "This... this is a special situation! Han Zhou should have told you the reason, right?"

"I did say it, but how can I put it... You should be thankful that I'm the one making this call today. If your mother knew that you and Han Zhou are staying in a hotel, I'm afraid you won't see the sun tomorrow."

Hearing this, Han Zhou, who was beside Gu Zheng, trembled his eyelids and interrupted cautiously, "Um... Uncle Gu, I'm right next to Gu Zheng, I can hear what you said..."

"Nonsense, I just said this for you!"

Gu Lang said in a bad tone, "You little bastard, how dare you kidnap my precious daughter and take her to a hotel in the middle of the night? If I didn't know you inside and out, I would have driven over here to kill you!"

Gu Zheng couldn't help but defend Han Zhou: "Dad, don't scare Han Zhou. He didn't kidnap me. I...I voluntarily lived in the same room with him!"

She was embarrassed to say that the main reason was that she was a little scared of living alone, and her expression was vague, so to Gulang, these words meant something completely different.

voluntary?

Gu Lang's breathing stagnated, and he covered his chest in pain: "It would be better if you didn't say it. Once you said it, I would want to kill this kid even more..."

Like his wife Miao Yan'er, he also dotes on Guzheng. It might be an exaggeration to say that he is a daughter slave, but it's not far from the truth. How could he tolerate his lively and lovely daughter living in the same room with a bad boy late at night?

What's more, this guy is more handsome than him!

He almost jumped when he heard Han Zhou's voice on Gu Zheng's phone just now. And when he heard the other party say in a frivolous tone that Gu Zheng was taking a shower, his brain almost crashed. When he came to his senses, he wanted to eat this guy.

Even though he already understood the details and knew that neither of them had any intention in that regard, he could never predict whether a flame would ignite. His precious daughter was so beautiful, what if Han Zhou had some bad intentions?

This is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is what if Gu Zheng has evil intentions? By then, Han Zhou, the stinky boy, will not even have a chance to resist!

Just like he did back then...

He had just warned Han Zhou that if Gu Zheng lost half a hair tonight, he would make sure that boy would be punished.

Seeing her father beating his chest and stamping his feet, Gu Zheng, who was already feeling guilty, quickly changed the subject: "It was usually my mom who called me before, why did it happen to you today?"

Gu Lang replied with a dark face, "We were busy at work today and didn't get home until after eleven o'clock. She was so sleepy that she fell asleep as soon as she entered the house. Fortunately, it happened, otherwise Han Zhou would definitely not see the sun tomorrow."

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He repeated what he had just said with gritted teeth. Although they had previously agreed to let Han Zhou and Gu Zheng stay at home alone, that was completely different from the two of them checking into a hotel alone. His wife would definitely not accept it with a smile if she knew about it.

Looking at the depressed father on the phone screen, Gu Zheng said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's not as exaggerated as you say..."

Gu Lang sneered: "Think carefully about your mother's character. Is what I said really exaggerated?"

Gu Zheng thought for a moment, glanced at Han Zhou, and remained silent.

Han Zhou, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt creepy.

What the hell? Does this mean I almost won’t see the sun tomorrow?

No, could your family really be a gang?

"Uncle Gu, I'm still listening..."

He spoke with difficulty, saying that it would be better if he didn't hear such a cruel topic.

Gu Lang said unhappily, "I'm telling you this specifically to prevent you from having any thoughts that you shouldn't have. For Gu Zheng's sake, I'll keep tonight's events a secret for now. Be careful."

"dad!"

Gu Zheng was unhappy. If she had to say it, it was she who forced Han Zhou to live in the same room with her. Why was she now making it sound like it was Han Zhou's fault...

"Okay, okay, just protect this kid."

Gu Lang was heartbroken. He was extremely worried about his daughter's disloyal attitude. If he didn't know that Gu Zheng and Han Zhou were both sensible people, he would have said anything to make them live separately.

No, or let them live separately...

If Guzheng really has any bad intentions, this brat will definitely not be able to stand it!

Gu Lang sighed in his heart, hesitated for a long time, but didn't say much, and turned to business: "I called for two reasons. One is that I am a little worried because you haven't replied to my message, and the other is that I want to ask you if you want to go back to your hometown with us during the National Day."

"go."

Guzheng agreed without thinking.

Gu Lang looked at his daughter's expression through the screen and reminded her with a wink: "This time we may be gone for three or four days. If you are worried about being bored, you'd better take the boy with you."

He was now extremely displeased with Han Zhou and no longer wanted to call his name.

Gu Zheng was slightly stunned, with a mixture of surprise and confusion in her eyes, and asked, "Can I bring Han Zhou with me?"

"Of course you can, but you have to ask his opinion... Never mind, don't ask. As long as you want to take him with you, don't worry about the rest. I will force him to agree."

Han Zhou spoke again: "Uncle Gu, I have been listening the whole time. Isn't it too disrespectful for you to force me in front of me..."

"I know, I'm telling you that."

Gu Lang said impatiently, "Gu Zheng, give the phone to that kid."

Of course Guzheng wanted Han Zhou to accompany her back to her hometown, otherwise it might be boring, but she didn't want to force Han Zhou, and didn't know whether she should give him the phone. But before she hesitated, Han Zhou had already taken the phone.

"Uncle Gu."

Han Zhou looked at the man on the phone screen, forced a smile and greeted him.

Although he is no longer young, the man's appearance is still worthy of the word "handsome". It is not difficult to imagine what a suave figure he was when he was young.

In fact, Gu Lang was indeed a well-known playboy when he was young. It was said that he hooked up with many girls. It was not until he was beaten up by Miao Yan'er and taken to get married that this "sinful" first half of his life ended.

The above content comes from Miao Yaner’s narration, and Han Zhou doesn’t know whether it is true or not.

"Boy."

Gu Lang had a toothpick in his mouth without knowing when, and he looked like a gangster. "You should have heard what I just said. Come with us to our hometown for two days. Food and lodging are provided. Each meal has at least three dishes and a soup. It's like a free trip. What do you say?"

Han Zhou looked at him, then at Gu Zheng who was pretending not to care but was actually eavesdropping, and said, "I'm not free in the three days before National Day, but I can consider it in the days after..."

"Then it will be the next three days." Gu Lang said firmly, "That's settled. It's just right for you and Gu Zheng to go back to school together at that time."

Seeing that Han Zhou seemed to be hesitant, his face darkened and he sneered, "Boy, you don't think I'm discussing this with you, do you?"

He put his face close to the camera, spat out the toothpick in his mouth, and threatened in a low voice, "You don't want your sister Miao to know that you and Gu Zheng checked into a hotel, right?"

Han Zhou took a deep breath and said, "Oh my goodness, Uncle Gu, have you ever studied in an island country?"

In order to ensure that he could see the sun tomorrow, he quickly said, "I understand. I should be free in the days after National Day. But can you tell me where your hometown is?"

Seeing that he agreed, Gu Zheng's eyes lit up, and she suppressed her excitement and replied, "It's in the countryside of Lincheng, not very far away. I grew up with my grandmother when I was a child, so that's my hometown."

"That's it."

Gu Lang took over his daughter's words, "The scenery there is nice, but the internet is not very good, and there are not many entertainment activities. It might be a bit boring if you stay there for a long time. Her mother and I have things to do in the next few days, so I hope you can accompany Gu Zheng."

Having said that, Gu Lang's expression became a little more serious.

It was not a sudden idea for Han Zhou to accompany Guzheng to his hometown, but something he had discussed with his wife long ago.

In the eyes of the couple, the reason why Guzheng became so competitive was closely related to her childhood experiences in her hometown. This is the knot in Guzheng's heart, and it is also what they have always felt deeply guilty about.

They feel deeply indebted to the Guzheng.

Because of this, there are some things they may not be able to say much about, but Han Zhou is different. He may not necessarily make Gu Zheng change, but at least he can help the latter to resolve her worries a little bit.

[The event mission has been opened. Please fulfill the target character Guzheng's wish and accompany her back to her hometown to spend at least three days during the National Day holiday, and relive her childhood memories with her. After completing the mission, you can randomly draw an enhanced skill from the target.]

Looking at the activity task that suddenly appeared, Han Zhou couldn't help but be stunned.

This year's National Day holiday lasted for eight days in total. Mo Yixia's activity tasks had already taken up three days of her time. Now there was another activity task that lasted for three days. Fortunately, these two tasks did not conflict in time, otherwise he would have to become a master of time management...

He still has a lot of tasks to complete, including Zhong Ling's side quest, Xiao Xiaoxiao's event quest, and Gu Zheng and Mo Yixia's event quests. If he needs to contact the 'Smiling Princess' in the future, it means there will be one more side quest...

Fortunately, all the tasks in the status bar do not require mandatory completion, and there are no time limits except for temporary tasks, otherwise he would really be too busy.

"I understand. Just let Gu Zheng notify me when the time comes."

Seeing this boy being so sensible, Gu Lang was satisfied. He had said almost everything he wanted to say. However, when he thought about his daughter staying in the same room with this boy for a night, his good mood disappeared instantly...
