"It may be quite far." Han Zhou reminded.
He remembered that Xiao Xiaoxiao was from Beicheng. If the place the other party was talking about was in Beicheng, then they would have to travel far away.
"It's far, it doesn't matter."
Gu Zheng shook her head. She was also very curious about this matter. The important thing was that she could go out and play with Han Zhou, so there was no reason not to go.
Lin Youya and Lin Anyu also wanted to join in the fun, but the former had to go to school and did not have as much time as they were college students, while the latter was in another school. Han Zhou promised to notify him when the time came, and if the other party was free, they could go together.
They played until six o'clock. As it was time for dinner, Han Zhou cooked a meal for everyone using the food in the refrigerator.
In order to ensure that he could stay focused, he didn't ask anyone else for help. Unfortunately, even though he was very focused, he still couldn't make delicious food.
This probability does not seem to be controllable by humans.
However, even though it was just the most ordinary food, with the blessing of the regular food attribute of "Mastery of Cooking", everyone still praised the meal tonight, and Lin Youya repeatedly asked him to come to their house more often in the future.
Han Zhou smiled bitterly and nodded.
This is a transition chapter. Originally, I should have entered the main plot of Gu Zheng, but suddenly I felt that the rhythm was not right. A large number of chapters were used to write about Yixia before, and now a large number of chapters are used to write about Gu Zheng. It has been dozens of chapters, and there are only interactions between a single character. In this way, the space for other characters to appear is squeezed, and time has not been able to move forward. After the two main plots are over, it is still during the National Day holiday. When other characters appear again, it will give people a feeling of being very far away, and they may be almost forgotten. Therefore, the main plot of Gu Zheng needs to be pushed back a little and adjusted.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 211 No dregs left
After dinner, Han Zhou sent Guzheng home and said hello to Guzheng's parents.
After a brief greeting, he left behind the specialties he brought back from Yecheng and left, saying that he needed to go back to clean up his new home.
Why is this guy walking so fast?
Seeing Han Zhou close the door and leave, Gu Lang lowered his head and stared at the specialties on the table for a long time, stroking his chin with a thoughtful look: "Gu Zheng, did this kid tell you what he did in Yecheng?"
"No."
Gu Zheng shook her head, picked up a piece of cake from the coffee table and stuffed it into her mouth. "He must have gone out to play. I remember one of his roommates was from Yecheng."
"You don't even ask about this?"
"What's there to ask?" Gu Zheng puffed her cheeks and made unclear sounds, "Han Zhou also has his own things to do. He can't stick with me every day like in high school."
So you also know that you two were always together at that time...
Gu Lang and his wife Miao Yan'er looked at each other and wondered, "That's true, but I remember you were still upset about this matter a few days ago. How come you suddenly came to your senses?"
"How can I be unhappy!" Gu Zheng's stubbornness was passively triggered, and she immediately retorted.
Gu Lang's expression became more serious: "You used to eat a big bowl of rice for every meal, but these past few days you've basically only eaten half a bowl. Isn't this just being depressed?"
Miao Yan'er nodded in agreement, obviously thinking that this was quite abnormal.
"That's because the food you cooked was so bad..."
Gu Zheng rolled her eyes at her father without confidence, then puffed out her chest, "Han Zhou said he would tell me everything, and he didn't want to hide it from me, so why should I be unhappy?"
"You really trust that kid enough..." Gu Lang looked sour.
Gu Zheng curled her eyes and did not deny it: "By the way, Han Zhou's cooking is delicious now. His new home is not far from ours. I plan to learn cooking skills from him in the future."
Gu Lang was unhappy: "If you want to learn cooking, can't you just go to dad?"
"But your cooking is not as delicious as Han Zhou's." Gu Zheng's honest words deeply hurt the father's heart.
Girls can’t stay at home when they grow up…
Gu Lang let out a long sigh. As a father, how could he not understand his daughter's true thoughts? While he was envious, jealous and resentful of that brat Han Zhou, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
It seems that this girl listened to what he said two days ago and is planning to take the initiative.
"Okay...it's up to you then."
He hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but remind him, "But you have to promise dad that you can learn cooking, but you must not learn things that you shouldn't learn."
"What is something that I shouldn't learn?" Guzheng looked confused.
"Ignore your dad. He talks nonsense all day long."
Miao Yan'er glared at her husband unhappily, and seeing that the "head of the family" had spoken, Gu Lang said no more and the topic was interrupted.
After that, Miao Yaner looked at her daughter's expression for a while and asked curiously, "Xiao Zheng, did you encounter any happy things when you went out today?"
She noticed early on that Guzheng looked extremely happy from the moment she entered the door. Her tone was cheerful, her movements were light, and her eyes were full of joy, as if she had encountered some great joy.
"No."
Gu Zheng denied it flatly, swallowed the cake, clapped her hands, stood up, and said in a brisk tone, "I'm going to take a shower."
After saying that, she walked into the bedroom humming a little tune, and went into the bathroom with her clothes in her arms. The word "happy" was almost written on her face.
"Oh!"
The bathroom door was slammed shut.
Retracting his gaze, Gu Lang lowered his voice and said solemnly, "There is a problem, absolutely a problem!"
Do you need to say this?
Miao Yan'er didn't want to pay attention to her husband who was talking nonsense. She thought for a moment and lowered her voice and said, "Do you think it's possible that Han Zhou confessed his love to Xiao Zheng?"
She thought about it and felt that this was the only thing that could make her daughter so happy.
"No." Gu Lang shook his head with certainty.
"why?"
"You know our daughter well. If Han Zhou dared to express his feelings to her, she would immediately agree. If that were the case, they should have walked into the house as boyfriend and girlfriend. There would be no need to hide it from us."
At this point, Gu Lang showed a look of deep sorrow, and after a pause he continued, "Besides, if that boy really confessed his feelings, Xiao Zheng's face would have been as red as an apple when we asked her just now. How could she pretend to be calm?"
Miao Yan'er thought it made sense and thought for a while: "Could it be some kind of unconscious confession?"
The so-called unconscious confession refers to the act of saying blushing and heart-moving words at certain unintentional moments.
For example, when a girl is walking on a scary and eerie path at night and she looks back every three steps, the boy walking with her suddenly says, "Don't be afraid, I will walk with you on night walks from now on." Or, when a girl praises a boy's cooking and the boy replies, "If you like, I will cook for you every day in the future," these can all be considered unconscious confessions.
Of course, the "confessor" himself may not necessarily have the intention to confess, and some of his words may even sound quite rustic and awkward, but it is undeniable that this unconscious expression of one's inner thoughts is quite touching.
Especially for someone who already has a crush on you, these romantic words revealed unintentionally are even more heartwarming than a formal confession, enough to make many people imagine and be immersed in happiness all day long.
If you don’t quite understand, here’s a relatively common extreme example:
A man who loves his girlfriend can be so happy that he can't sleep all night just because his goddess says good night to him. He wonders all day long whether the goddess likes him or not. The principle behind both of them is basically the same.
It is worth mentioning that unconscious confession is usually most effective only for men and women who like each other. As for other situations, you should be careful to know when to stop. If you say "I will protect you forever" to a girl you have only known for three days, you may be labeled as a douchebag and become famous on the Internet the next day...
"I think so too."
Hearing his wife's guess, Gu Lang nodded in agreement, and soon showed a worried look on his face, "Unconscious confession?... As far as I know, many scumbags like to use this trick..."
"Are you speaking from your own experience?" Miao Yan'er glanced at him with a sidelong glance, as if smiling.
Gu Lang shut his mouth tactfully.
"Let the children deal with their own affairs and don't interfere all day long." Miao Yaner said as she applied a facial mask.
Gu Lang sighed, "I'm just worried that my daughter will be cheated by a scumbag. You know, Han Zhou's looks are no less than my youth. I'm not afraid that he will be unfaithful, but I'm afraid that he can't resist the temptations around him."
There is a sense of empathy in his words.
"Don't treat Xiao Zheng as a fool. Besides, you know what kind of person Han Zhou is. Don't put your own thoughts on others."
"It's better to be safe than sorry. What if that kid really..."
"What do you see here?"
Miao Yan'er interrupted him impatiently and pointed to the plate of pastries on the coffee table.
Gu Lang was stunned and asked tentatively: "Plate?"
"I'm asking about what's inside the plate."
"There's nothing." He looked confused and looked closer for a while. "There's not even a cake crumb."
The last two pieces of pastries on the plate had just been eaten by Guzheng, and now there was nothing on the plate.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Lang suddenly had an idea and asked, "I see. Do you mean that the boy's character is as spotless as this plate?"
"Do not."
Miao Yaner shook her head slightly, her cheeks covered by the mask, leaving only two smiling eyes exposed.
"What I mean is, if Han Zhou really dares to deceive Xiao Zheng's feelings and be a scumbag..."
"Then there won't be any dregs left."
……
"Ah!"
I don’t know if it’s because the weather is a little cold, but Han Zhou suddenly sneezed when he got home, and his back felt a little cold.
He was wondering in his heart, he was clearly immune to all diseases and wouldn't catch a cold, could it be that someone was saying something bad about him?
Before going home, he went to the supermarket to buy some vegetables, intending to make a midnight snack when he got home and master the skill of "mastering cooking" as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, the midnight snacks still haven't become gourmet delicacies.
Han Zhou was eating his midnight snack, thinking that a 20% increase in the deliciousness attribute would make the food taste great. He didn't know what a 50% increase would mean, would it make his taste buds picky?
After eating supper, he went into the bathroom to wash up, returned to the bedroom, set the alarm for eight o'clock, and soon fell asleep.
Perhaps because he was not used to the bed in his new home, Han Zhou did not sleep very well. He woke up before eight o'clock. He wanted to sleep for a while but was no longer sleepy, so he got up to make breakfast.
Breakfast still failed to produce fine food.
After three consecutive failures, Han Zhou couldn't help but question the 30% success rate. In addition to wondering if he was just too unlucky, he also thought that this might be related to the so-called properties of the ingredients. Ordinary ingredients in reality might not meet the standard requirements of the skill, so that the success rate was reduced.
I don't know how much it has dropped...
As I was thinking, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was Guzheng calling.
Han Zhou originally thought that Gu Zheng wanted to urge him to go there quickly. After all, he had made an appointment early in the morning to follow Gu Zheng's family to their hometown today. However, after answering the phone, he found that it was not what he thought.
The sound of the guzheng sounds a little hoarse and has a strong nasal tone, and you can tell that you have a cold.
Han Zhou was shocked, wondering how he could suddenly catch a cold. He immediately asked how serious it was.
