She was worried that Han Zhou would be too accommodating to her, even though this worry had no basis. Perhaps due to the self-blame accumulated from the past, she subconsciously considered the worst-case scenario.
Gu Zheng has experienced many times how her competitive spirit hurts the people around her. As one of her closest people, she is afraid that Han Zhou, the only one who can tolerate her, will leave her one day, even though he has said more than once that he doesn't mind.
This is a psychological state formed under the influence of many factors. She is unable to change herself for the time being, nor will she ask others to tolerate her, so she subconsciously wants to maintain a safer distance.
And this is just one of the reasons. There are some things that Guzheng herself cannot explain clearly, so she seems to be worried these two days.
Eager to take a step further, yet worried that this step would bring about bad consequences, this should be the current state of this girl...
Gu Lang came to a conclusion in his mind and felt a headache for a moment. He was silent for a long time, and suddenly came up with a plan. He said, "If you are afraid, go ask that kid."
"What?" Gu Zheng was stunned.
"Instead of putting so much pressure on yourself, you should go and ask that kid what he thinks. Take advantage of this opportunity when he returns to his hometown with us."
"Just ask Han Zhou..."
"Well, not only the issues you are worried about now, you can also ask him if he has similar concerns as you."
Gu Lang looked a little more serious. "I said yesterday that if you want to fight for everything, then you should put love first. After all, this is not a competition that gives you enough time to prepare and participate on time. It is full of variables at any time. You can even treat it as a war."
"War?" Gu Zheng blinked and asked blankly, "Is it that exaggerated?"
"Exaggerated?" Gu Lang smiled mysteriously, "Think about it, if one day you see Han Zhou with someone else, what would you do?"
"Oh!"
In Guzheng's hand, the rope connected to the swing broke with a loud bang, and one end of the swing board fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.
This... should just be because it has been in disrepair for thousands of years, right?
It's okay, you don't have to pay...
Gu Lang took a deep breath, then said with a look of relief: "Very good, it seems that you have experienced it firsthand - love is a war."
"And since this is a war, you should always be in a state of war. Even if you are not willing to mobilize troops now, you can still take action in advance. Even if you don't want to establish a romantic relationship for the time being, you can still plan many things - you can ask your mother about this, she is an expert in this area."
Having said this, Gu Lang paused, a melancholy look appeared on his face, as if he was thinking of some unpleasant past.
He couldn't think of how to solve Gu Zheng's new knot for the time being. People with simple minds are often more stubborn than ordinary people, and they can't be persuaded with just a few words. However, as the saying goes, it takes the person who tied the bell to untie it, and this time the person who tied the bell was still there, so he threw the problem to Han Zhou, who was still unaware of the problem, without any psychological pressure.
"If you like that guy so much that you can't help yourself, it means the war has already begun."
Gu Lang looked solemn. "So get to know that boy better, and let him get to know you better. It's okay to be afraid. You don't have to be in a romantic relationship for the time being, but there is one thing you must pay attention to - this is the magic weapon for victory in the war."
"War will start sooner or later, so you must make sure that kid's spearhead is always aimed at you. Compared to actively attacking, it is better to let him crave you. You don't have to rush to start a war, but you must issue a declaration of war."
Gu Zheng had been listening attentively since she broke the rope. She was puzzled when she heard the words, "A challenge?"
"Yes, issue a challenge. You don't have to attack him, but you must make him realize that he has a mortal enemy, a mortal enemy that will tangle with him for the rest of his life!"
That’s right, let that guy worry about it…
Gu Lang looked solemn, as if he was praying solemnly, "You must let him know clearly and definitely that he belongs to you, let him hear your voice, and eventually realize that this is also his own voice—"
"I can't live without you!"

Chapter 180 Let's Create an Avalanche
At this moment, Han Zhou, who was in the snowy mountains, certainly had no idea about the conversation between Gu Zheng and Gu Lang.
The sun has set and the sky has become completely dark.
"what happened?"
Feeling the backpack in his hand being pulled, Han Zhou turned around and looked at Mo Yixia. Because the wind was too loud, he had to increase his voice so that the other party would not hear him. "Let me make it clear first, I will not return the backpack to you. Just follow me obediently."
He suspected the guy was trying to take the backpack back.
Seeing that the girl was silent for a long time, he raised his eyebrows at first, then realized that the other party's voice might be covered by the wind, so he changed the status skillfully, changing "leave it to fate" to "leave it to fate", and then strengthened his listening.
"What did you say?" he asked loudly.
"I'm thirsty."
The next second, Mo Yixia's slightly panting voice sounded in his ears. Probably because she noticed that the wind was too loud, she increased the volume this time.
"Give me the bag."
"Thirsty?" Han Zhou looked at the backpack in his hand and did not let go immediately. He asked suspiciously, "Are you planning to take the bag away and not give it to me?"
"So what if I don't give it to you?" Mo Yixia sneered breathlessly, "You will still snatch it back."
She seemed quite dissatisfied with Han Zhou's previous behavior of forcibly taking away her backpack, and her words sounded like she was throwing a tantrum.
Han Zhou was a little embarrassed, but she didn't think she had done anything wrong. If she had really let this guy continue to carry the bag, she probably wouldn't even have the strength to speak now: "Then hold on tight, I'm going to let go."
Mo Yixia hugged the backpack in her arms, unzipped it, took out the water cup, and then handed the bag back to Han Zhou.
The backpack is not actually too heavy, but it is indeed a big burden for her now, and she does not intend to continue to force herself.
Han Zhou took the backpack and reminded without turning his head: "Give me the cup when you finish drinking."
"Do you want to drink too?"
"Of course not. I was just helping you put the cup back in your bag. It's not like I don't have a cup."
"Oh."
Mo Yixia sighed weakly, her tone sounding a little regretful, "If I had known earlier, I would have only bought one cup."
Han Zhou was too lazy to respond. Soon he felt someone tug at his backpack. He turned around and asked in surprise, "Did you finish drinking so quickly?"
Mo Yixia shook her head and handed him the cup in her hand.
"I told you I have a cup."
"I didn't say I was going to give you a drink."
"Then what do you mean?"
"I can't unscrew it."
Can’t unscrew it?
Han Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took the cup and unscrewed the lid easily. He handed the cup back to the other party and sighed, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're so tired that you don't even have the strength to unscrew the lid. How can you still have the energy to be angry with me?"
"Who said I was angry?"
Mo Yixia pulled down her mask, exhaled a breath of white air, raised her head and took a sip of water.
The quality of the thermos is very good and the water in the cup is still hot.
"Even if you're not angry, you're at least unhappy." Han Zhou's tone was quite firm, "Otherwise you wouldn't be upset with me."
This time Mo Yixia didn’t deny it, and drank the hot water elegantly: “Then why do you think I’m upset with you?”
Although her voice sounded a little weak due to fatigue, her tone still gave people a calm and relaxed feeling.
Han Zhou laughed and said, "Isn't it because I insisted on carrying your backpack? Since you hate expectations so much, you should also hate relying on others. What's more, I remember that you seemed to hate others forcing you in the name of 'this is for your own good'."
Mo Yixia said, "Tsk, you are really brave. Since you know that you are so annoying, why do you still tease me like this?"
"You mean provocation?"
"It's just teasing, snatching the branded bag by force."
After taking a breath, Mo Yixia continued, "Also, these speculations of yours can only be said to have some truth, but not much."
"why?"
Han Zhou felt that he should have accurately figured out this guy's true thoughts this time.
"Think for yourself."
Mo Yixia said seriously, "What really makes me unhappy is that you said you could carry me up the mountain, but you didn't do anything but just said it and chose to carry my bag. This makes me very jealous of it. I will burn it after we get down the mountain."
Han Zhou would have believed such nonsense, so he said unhappily, "If you want to be treated like your backpack, then I can carry you... Also, you don't need to speak so loudly, I can hear you even if you speak softly."
In order to make him hear clearly, Mo Yixia kept speaking louder, he wanted the other party to save a little more energy.
"Oh, I'm done."
Mo Yixia tightened the cup lid, handed the cup to him, and then held the backpack strap tightly again.
Han Zhou put the cup into his bag. Seeing this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "You remind me of those kids in kindergarten. Every time they lend something to someone, they hold on to it tightly, as if the other person will snatch it away and not return it."
"The bag is fine, but I'm afraid it's not the bag that's taken away and not returned."
Mo Yixia sighed quietly, suddenly loosened the straps, and said calmly, "You should carry the backpack with you. It won't be tiring to carry it."
So you forgot why I left with my bag...
Han Zhou muttered to himself and casually put the backpack on his shoulder.
Before he had taken a few steps, he felt Mo Yixia poking the back of his head with her fingers from behind, and her strength was not small, and she seemed quite dissatisfied.
This guy……
"what are you doing?"
He sighed and looked back at Mo Yixia.
The latter also looked at him and spoke after a few seconds, his tone sounding a little aggrieved.
"Aren't you afraid of losing me now?"
Han Zhou was stunned, but Mo Yixia didn't give him a chance to speak. She slowly stretched out her right hand and pointed at the gloves on her hand with her chin.
Perhaps knowing what Han Zhou was worried about, she hesitated for a moment and comforted him, "Don't worry, it won't count as a gift if you wear it."
Han Zhou almost vomited blood: "Where did you learn such a sentence?!"
Mo Yixia pretended not to hear and just looked at him silently, with her raised hand showing no intention of putting it down.
Han Zhou glanced at Xiao Yuyan not far ahead and felt a little hesitant.
But thinking about the sky that was getting darker and the strong wind, it was difficult for him to pay attention to Mo Yixia's situation behind him while walking in front. If something happened to the latter, he might not be able to react in time, so he was a little hesitant for a moment.
Forget it, there’s nothing to worry about. Safety comes first, and it doesn’t count if you wear it... Ugh!
Although he was worried, Han Zhou did not hesitate for too long and held Mo Yixia's hand hesitantly.
Perhaps worried that he would change his mind, Mo Yixia immediately clenched his hand hard, as if she wanted to crush his hand bones.
