The woman was confused: "What does it mean not yet?"

"It means we are not a couple yet, but we will be one day." Noila Mo answered her question calmly, "This is a problem between us, please don't ask any more questions."

The woman was stunned, frowned slightly and said, "You kid is too rude..."

Noila Mo did not comment, picked up the cup in front of Han Zhou and took a sip of water, and said calmly: "Do you mind telling us about the love life between you and your husband?"

Ouyang Lianyu opened his mouth. Isn't this an obvious indirect kiss?

And if she had used this cup, wouldn't it mean that the three of them had indirectly kissed?

Her brain was confused.

Han Zhou didn't notice this. There were many glasses filled with water in Ouyang Lianyu's refrigerator, so he didn't think much about it at all.

"Yixia, talk nicely."

Looking at the calm-looking girl next to him, he pretended to remind him, but in fact he wanted to laugh in his heart. Of course Noila Mo is not an impolite person, but her character of not caring about most things means that she will not be bound by etiquette and respectability. Coupled with the "mind-reading ability" that can almost see through people's hearts, her verbal attack power is quite high.

He always felt that what this guy wanted to ask just now was about his sex life, but he restrained himself after seeing Ouyang Lianyu.

"Oh."

Noila Mo responded lazily, but she didn't mean to apologize at all, "If it is rude to dislike others asking about one's love life, then this is my answer."

Ouyang Lianyu was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know if it was an illusion. She always felt that the other person was also talking to her.

Before she could speak, her aunt suddenly picked up her bag and stood up, saying calmly: "Lianyu, I have something else to do, so I will leave first. You should educate your students well. I will come back in a few days."

After saying this, she quickly left the room on her high heels without giving anyone a chance to speak.

Seeing the door being slammed shut, Ouyang Lianyu smiled bitterly. Han Zhou thought she was angry and quickly stood up to apologize, "I'm sorry, Teacher Ouyang, Yixia didn't mean it...well, she did it on purpose, but she... "

"Okay, I know what you want to say."

Ouyang Lianyu rolled her eyes at him, wondering whether to laugh or cry, "You were actually eavesdropping outside the door just now, right?"

"How do you know?" Han Zhou was surprised.

"Although there are two apartments nearby, they are not close to each other. How can anyone easily go wrong?"

"Then you said at that time that you had gone wrong before..."

"Of course this is nonsense." Ouyang Lianyu said helplessly.

Han Zhou expressed doubts about this and subconsciously looked at Noila Mo, hoping that this "human lie detector" could help see if Ouyang Lianyu was lying.

Noila Mo was too lazy to pay attention to him.

He sighed and gave up the idea. He looked at Ouyang Lianyu in the wheelchair and asked, "Teacher Ouyang, are you the eldest daughter of a big family who fled?"

"Of course not, why do you ask?"

"Your aunt just talked about Ouyang's family. It sounded like she was very powerful."

Ouyang Lianyu didn't really want to arrange it for others behind his back, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not an arrangement, so he explained with a wry smile: "That's because she is now the wife of a rich family, and she also likes to use her upper-class status to think of herself. Her husband’s family is rich, and her mother’s family and several brothers and sisters are from ordinary families. She is worried about losing face when going out, so she likes to think of herself as a scholarly family, and she often talks about the Ouyang family.”

Han Zhou was thoughtful and asked curiously: "So is the Ouyang family really a scholarly family?"

"I can't talk about it. I heard from my grandfather that our ancestors had high officials, but that was all many years ago."

Ouyang Lianyu smiled, pushed the wheelchair to the table, picked up the cup on the table, and said, "This is ordinary pure water. Let me get you drinks."

"No need." Han Zhou shook his head, "We are not thirsty in the first place. If your aunt hadn't insisted on telling you how to treat guests, I wouldn't have taken this glass of water."

Why did you drink the water if you weren’t thirsty?

Ouyang Lianyu was already sure that this was the cup she had used. She smiled bitterly in her heart, but did not show it. She apologized: "Sorry, I have nothing to do with calling you here this time. It's because my aunt always feels that I can't take care of her." Be good to yourself, even if you are unconscious at home one day, no one will find it, so I called you, didn't I delay your business?"

"No, I have nothing to do over the weekend, but if you really feel guilty, teacher, you can consider giving me a day off tomorrow." Han Zhou said with a smile.

"Don't even think about it."

Ouyang Lianyu glanced at him angrily, looked up at the clock on the wall, and said with a smile, "It will be noon soon, why don't you stay at my house for dinner."

"It's okay, but Teacher Ouyang, can you cook in your current state?"

The smile on Ouyang Lianyu's face froze, and then she realized that it was difficult for her to even cook now. It would be fine if she was just cooking for herself, and there was no need to be too particular about it, but since she was entertaining guests, she couldn't be so casual.

She was a little embarrassed and said sheepishly, "Then let's go out to eat. I'll treat you."

Han Zhou looked at her for a while and then said with a smile: "Let's forget it. It's hard for you to eat outside like this. You probably have to get a spoon. Why don't I cook for you?"

"How can this be done..." Ouyang Lianyu was stunned.

"What's wrong? Didn't you just say that you are a beloved teacher? If you wave, students will take care of you?"

Han Zhou smiled and walked to the refrigerator to see what dishes were available.

"I never said that..."

Ouyang Lianyu's face was slightly red. Although she had said similar words, she did not mean the same thing at all. It was inevitable that she would feel ashamed if she was mentioned again.

However, she could realize that Han Zhou was actually trying to make her happy, and by taking the initiative to cook, he was denying her aunt's words with his actions - even if she was really comatose at home and couldn't move, it didn't mean that she couldn't find someone to rely on. .

From the beginning to the end, Han Zhou never asked about her being forced to get married by her family, nor did he suggest the conflict between her and her parents. It seemed that as long as he didn't take the initiative to talk about it, he wouldn't ask easily.

This is undoubtedly a sign of respect for her.

Ouyang Lianyu felt warm in her heart.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 264 You should help me too

Ouyang Lianyu's home is not big, but even though it is small, it has all the necessary organs. The refrigerator is mostly filled with fast food, as well as simple and easy-to-handle vegetables such as tomatoes and cabbage. After all, she knows her current physical condition and wants to make a good meal. The food is too much.

There was a bag of chopped ribs and two steaks in the middle of the refrigerator. They looked quite fresh. Han Zhou looked at them in confusion, thinking that Ouyang Lianyu couldn't cook these things even if he bought them, unless they stew the whole piece together. The latter explained that it was her I bought some meat on sale last night when I was grocery shopping. I saw the price was really cheap and bought it back.

In order to ensure the freshness of vegetables and meat, some large supermarkets will sell the day's fresh vegetables, especially meat, at a discount at night. This is the case in the supermarket near Ouyang Lianyu's home, so she usually likes to buy vegetables at night. She originally thought of ribs and steaks. You can only eat it by yourself. Now that Han Zhou and Noila Mo are here, it happens that they won’t waste it.

Han Zhou came to the kitchen to handle the ribs and steaks, and Noila Mo followed silently, but just stood at the door and watched, with no intention of helping.

"You just stand there and watch? I remember you know how to cook, right?"

"I'm a guest."

"I'm a guest too."

"I am a guest brought by a guest."

"Okay... then I'm the one bringing guests?" Han Zhou smiled helplessly, lowered his head to chop onions, ginger and garlic, and asked casually, "By the way, do you know how to prepare steak? I've never made anything like this before."

"I haven't done it either. It should just be fried on both sides. I heard from my mother that it can also be done in the oven, but the steps are much more complicated."

"Will your mother teach you this?"

"In the evening, we occasionally talk about irrelevant things, but most of the time she is the one doing the talking."

Mo Yixia recalled, "To cook steak in the oven, you must do enough preliminary preparations. In addition to choosing high-quality ingredients, you also need to use repeated massage to make the meat firmer. After evenly applying the marinade, at least You have to wait for two hours, and you are very particular about the heat and time, so that the steak will be juicy and fragrant."

"Too complicated."

Han Zhou gave up as soon as he heard "We have to wait at least two hours." He didn't have that much time now, so he said, "Forget it, I'd better find a video to study. Do you want to wait outside?"

"No, I'm going to watch you here."

At the same time, Ouyang Lianyu was looking at her mobile phone in the living room. On the screen was a Fetion chat interface. The contact's note was "Dad". The last chat record stayed three years ago and was her "Dad, Happy New Year".

She hasn't been home for three years.

It's not that she misses home, but she doesn't want to quarrel. The reason why she doesn't go home is because her parents always urge her to go on a blind date. The two of them seem to have deep-rooted old ideas, believing that a girl's future life can only be guaranteed if she gets married early.

Get married first and stabilize her life. After that, no matter how she pursues her life, neither of them will interfere. Even if she doesn't want to take care of the children, they are willing to help.

Ouyang Lianyu knew that her parents were thinking about her, but in her opinion, this idea was not good for her. She knew very well that unless she brought a boyfriend home, a blind date would be the inevitable outcome, and even if she brought him casually, When a boyfriend goes back to deal with it, there will only be two possibilities -

First, her parents were dissatisfied with her boyfriend and ordered them to break up. Second, her parents accepted her boyfriend and asked them to get married as soon as possible.

No matter what, she couldn't accept it easily.

Ouyang Lianyu is twenty-seven this year. Some of her classmates are already married. Some of them are happy and some are unhappy. She has also asked them about the meaning of marriage. However, none of these highly educated classmates seems to be able to give an accurate answer.

But she was deeply impressed by one of the answers——

"I don't know what the meaning of marriage is, but I know one thing very well. If you don't want to get married, it only means that you don't really like someone yet. This has nothing to do with material conditions and external factors. As long as you really like someone. People, subconsciously, they must want to stay with him for the rest of their lives.”

"Do we have to get married? Can't people who really love each other still be together without getting married?" She asked at that time.

"Lianyu, you... you have been obsessed with studying mathematical formulas since you were in school, and you would often be so focused that you missed the next staircase. If you could like someone to this extent, do you think you would be willing to give up on him? Forget it, it doesn’t matter whether you get married or not, but you should have a good relationship. This can at least cure you of being careless and getting hurt every day."

"Where can I go to fall in love at this age? And I have no plans to get married for the time being."

"It's really stupid. Who said that you must get married if you fall in love? At least feel the love first! Aren't you a teacher at Linda? There are a lot of teachers in the school. There must be good men. If it doesn't work, there are still students. Come on. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a vigorous teacher-student love affair?”

"But you just said you wanted to get married after falling in love..."

"Please, what I'm saying is that if you really like someone, you will subconsciously want to marry him. Isn't it okay if you don't like breaking up?"

"Isn't this too hasty? Can falling in love be so casual?"

"Oh my god, don't you have to fill up several pieces of scratch paper when doing math problems? Who can guarantee that the answer is correct before you finish checking it over and over again?"

"I think I understand when you put it like that."

"You... forget it, find an opportunity to treat me to a meal, and I will teach you a lesson. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"I'm in the hospital now, so I may not be able to find you for the time being..."

"..."

Looking at the chat records with her college roommate, a hint of melancholy appeared on Ouyang Lianyu's face. This was a chat record from two years ago. At that time, she still had contact with her former classmates, but now they have basically all been disconnected. I don’t even send out blessings for New Years and holidays.

Relationships need to be managed. No one will miss the past forever. Once there is no contact, the relationship will gradually fade away and become completely alienated.

While sighing in his heart, Ouyang Lianyu heard the Ruowuowu conversation in the kitchen.

She was a little far away from the kitchen, and the conversation between Han Zhou and Noila Mo was not loud, so the sound was intermittent, and it was difficult to hear clearly even if you listened carefully.

She didn't care at first. It was very impolite to eavesdrop on other people's speech. However, after vaguely catching a few nouns, her ears perked up subconsciously. She didn't know if it was preconceptions. The more she listened to these words. It feels weirder and weirder.

At this time, Han Zhou and Noila Mo were discussing how to handle steak. It was obviously a normal topic, but now it completely changed the taste in Ouyang Lianyu's ears.

Because she couldn't hear clearly, she made many corrections in her own head.

Han Zhou: "By the way, have you ever done anything like that? I've never done that before."
