"That's not the case, but I didn't expect you to notice this."
Han Zhou laughed and imitated her tone and said, "That's because you have shown your interest in this area in front of me more than once. If you keep it to yourself, I probably won't notice it even if I want to."
"That's right."
A gust of wind blew by, and Mo Yixia tied up her hair for the second time.
Large pieces of leaves fell to the ground, thick clouds moved slowly, and the sun's light shone through little by little, sprinkling on the two people on the bridge.
"What you really want to ask is whether I have ever liked someone in particular?" After a moment of silence, the girl who was proficient in "mind reading" suddenly asked.
"You can say that."
What Han Zhou really wanted to ask was whether the other party really understood the feeling of "liking", but the two meanings were similar, so there was no need to correct him deliberately.
"The answer is no, so there's no need to be jealous."
The sun shone on the girl, making her long hair black and shiny. She spoke in a rare cheerful tone, "You guessed right. I really don't understand what it's like to like someone, so I've been groping for it."
Han Zhou was infected by her emotions and couldn't help laughing: "Did you find out anything?"
"Not yet. Psychology is not so easy to figure out."
"Can't you easily see what I'm thinking?"
"Paramecium doesn't even have a brain, so isn't it easy to figure out its thoughts?"
The girl rolled up her hair for the third time and chuckled, "But this is also a heartless creature. Do you think it is the brain or the heart that determines a person's emotions?"
"You don't have to scold me in different ways."
Mo Yixia pretended not to hear and looked at a squirrel that suddenly appeared on the other side of the bridge. "Although I can't figure it out for now, you can teach me. As a teacher, this is your duty and responsibility."
Han Zhou was stunned: "We are no longer a teacher and student relationship, right?"
"It doesn't matter. Just think of this affair that could have rekindled at any time as just a rekindling of its own accord, isn't it?"
"I don't want to correct your wording anymore..." Han Zhou shook his head and sighed.
He could see that the guy was very happy, but he didn't know why he was so happy.
I can understand his mood but not his thoughts. According to his logic, does he have a brain but no heart?
"ah……"
Mo Yixia didn't look at him, so she didn't seem to notice his thoughts, and said to herself, "From a certain perspective, I am really a very dull student, so you will give me special lessons, right, teacher?"
She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the four words "special lessons" and stepped onto the Wenxin Bridge while speaking. Her body swayed constantly and she had to raise her arms to keep her balance. Even so, she was still a little unsteady. The hem of her blue skirt swayed along with her long hair, making her look inexplicably cute.
"I told you not to speak in such a tone that could be misunderstood..."
Han Zhou was afraid that Mo Yixia would fall, so he quickly approached her, ready to hold her back at any time, and said with a sigh, "Besides, I have never been in a relationship, so I may not be able to teach you how to like this kind of thing."
He told the truth.
"Do not."
The sun was shining, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the girl on the bridge shook her head slightly. Since only her back was left, it was impossible to see her expression clearly.
"It's better to say that this is how you can teach me."
The sound was very light, and was blown by the wind along the bridge to the other side of the bridge, swirled and floated back, lightly touching the riverbed and skimming across the river. Perhaps it was because it was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants along the way, the ending sound was indescribably light.
"If you are better than me, I can consider giving you special lessons."

Chapter 165: Being Caught Again
Although she was ready to "outperform her teacher", Mo Yixia was stuck on the first course she had planned in her mind -
She couldn't pass the Wenxin Bridge.
Not only was she unable to pass, she couldn't even take more than three steps on the bridge.
But this obviously did not pose a problem for her. As a person, one should not be ashamed to ask questions. If you have any questions, just ask the teacher for help.
"Han Zhou, look at it..."
She skillfully pretended to be aggrieved and pointed at the bumpy Wenxin Bridge to complain.
However, Han Zhou obviously didn't buy it and said helplessly: "Do you really have to cross this bridge?"
I have to say, it's really unbearable when this guy pretends to be pitiful. Fortunately, he is determined. If it were someone else, they might have started smashing the bridge with sticks to vent their anger on him.
"want."
"What's the reason?"
“Those who walk across this bridge together will end up together.”
"I've already said this is just a gimmick." Han Zhou said earnestly, "Whether we can be together or not is not something that can be decided by a bridge. Otherwise, if I bring a few more girls across the bridge, wouldn't I be able to hug them left and right?"
It's not that he was unwilling to fulfill Mo Yixia's little wish, but this girl was a weak girl after all, and it was very difficult for her to cross the bridge. When the other party was crossing the bridge alone, he could still pay attention to prevent the other party from falling, but once two people crossed the bridge together, it would be difficult for him to take care of each other at all times, and they might fall off the bridge together.
Although there was no danger in falling off the bridge, his clothes would definitely get dirty, and he didn't want the two of them to walk back to the street like destitute beggars.
Mo Yixia obviously didn’t listen, or maybe her focus was elsewhere, and she said coldly: “You seem to have spoken your mind.”
Han Zhou said confidently: "I'm just making an analogy."
"Scumbag."
Mo Yixia looked disdainful, "Not only is he a scumbag, he's also a straight man. He doesn't understand romance at all. When I said I wanted to cross the bridge, you only needed to loudly say 'Yes, Princess'."
"Is this the ceremony for crossing the Wenxin Bridge?"
"That's not the case, but that's how it's played out in TV shows."
"Don't you watch TV series?"
"I watch it occasionally. Is it fun to dwell on this?" Mo Yixia glanced at him.
"I don't mean to be entangled, but Princess, I really can't take you across the bridge."
Han Zhou had just tried a few times. He was able to cross the bridge by himself, but he had to cross it quickly. If he walked slowly, it would be difficult to keep his balance. This meant that once he brought Mo Yixia along, even if they held her hand, it would be difficult for them to cross the bridge.
"Then let me try a few more times."
Mo Yixia didn't mean to embarrass him, and thought, "Give me some time, I can quickly figure out a way to control my balance on this bridge."
Han Zhou laughed dryly: "You have been studying for nearly an hour."
“So I’m almost there.”
Mo Yixia walked onto the bridge, took the fourth step unsteadily, and finally stood still. She turned around and asked, "How is it?"
Han Zhou stood by the bridge, ready to hold her at any time, and said hesitantly: "Very impressive, but your four steps are not as good as my one step. If each extra step takes an hour, then we may not be able to go back by night..."
"That's perfect. Camping outdoors is also a good experience. With the moon, you don't have to worry about not being able to see clearly. It's hidden enough under the bridge, and the sound of the water can cover it up..."
"Are you starting to act like a jerk?"
Seeing that Mo Yixia was seriously considering the possibility of sleeping here tonight, Han Zhou interrupted helplessly, "Can you tell me why you have to cross the bridge? I want to hear the deeper reason."
Mo Yixia hates most things, which means that she has no interest in many things. And because she has no expectations, most people and things are dispensable in her eyes, so she will not deliberately waste time pursuing anything.
This should be the first time Han Zhou saw Mo Yixia so obsessed with something, and the reason must not be as simple as "people who cross the bridge will be together".
After a moment of silence, Mo Yixia sighed softly: "Can't you occasionally guess my thoughts correctly at the right time?"
She carefully backed away from the bridge, but suddenly her foot slipped, her body tilted sideways, and she almost fell off the bridge. Fortunately, Han Zhou caught her in time and helped her back to the shore.
"Are you OK?"
"fine."
Seeing her calm expression, Han Zhou shook his head and said with emotion: "Most people would scream out in shock in a situation like that just now, but you were too calm. Even your expression didn't change. How can I guess what you were thinking?"
Mo Yixia adjusted her skirt and sighed faintly: “It can only be said that people with a heart don’t need to be taught, and people without a heart can’t be taught. It’s normal for a careless and brainless paramecium like you not to understand.”
"Then you still want me to guess?"
Han Zhou's face turned dark. He should have let this guy fall under the bridge.
Mo Yixia seemed to have sensed something, staring into his eyes and asked, "Are you thinking, 'I should have let this guy fall under the bridge just now'?"
Han Zhou's mouth twitched, and he quickly denied it: "No, and you haven't answered my question yet. Is it important for you to cross this bridge?"
"What would you do if I said it wasn't that important and I just wanted to go to the other side of the bridge and take a look?"
"If you want to go, you can go there..."
Mo Yixia interrupted him and emphasized, "What would you do if I said that I just wanted to cross this bridge to see the other side?"
Han Zhou was stunned. Seeing the other person staring at him with complicated eyes, he let out a long sigh, then shook his head and smiled.
"Isn't this great?"
He found that he might have thought too much. Many things actually did not require reasons, or those reasons were extremely absurd and might be difficult to understand for ordinary people, but they had important meanings to him.
Even I can't explain what it means.
The most crucial point is...
The girl who hates expectations has high expectations for something, which is a very meaningful thing in itself.
After tidying up her skirt, Mo Yixia walked towards Wen Xinqiao again and said in a suppressed and depressed tone: “I’ll try again. If it doesn’t work, we’ll leave.”
"Forget it. If you try like this, it will take forever."
Han Zhou called her helplessly, "I do have a way to get you across the Wenxin Bridge."
"Really?" Mo Yixia turned her back to him, and there was no joy in her tone, "But what I want is for the two of us to cross the bridge together."
"Isn't this nonsense? If you want to cross the bridge, you can only rely on me. If I take you across the bridge, doesn't that mean we cross the bridge together?"
Han Zhou sensed a hint of pity in her voice, but he was too lazy to expose her. "But this method may not guarantee success."
Mo Yixia looked back at him and thought, “You don’t want to carry me across the bridge, do you?”
"You wish." Han Zhou recalled this guy's "plot" last night and said unhappily, "I'm afraid I can't even stand steadily if I hold you in my arms, but I can carry you on my back. As long as you don't move, my center of gravity shouldn't be off, and I can run over quickly."
"Oh."
Mo Yixia’s tone was indifferent, and I didn’t know if she was unhappy.
