She heard that many loves start from the first meeting. If you leave a deep impression on that day, you are likely to have a good impression of each other later.
"I don't remember." Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng shook his head, "We only started to interact in our second year of high school."
After a pause, she suddenly bent her eyes and smiled, a look of memory appearing on her bright face.
"But although I can't remember the first time we met, I still remember the day we first met."

Chapter 270 Winning with confidence
Even though many years have passed, the girl still cannot forget that bright afternoon.
The afterglow of late summer has not faded, and the sunshine that day was hotter than before. The sunlight shined through the gaps in the branches and leaves on the path outside the playground, forming mottled spots. The September wind gently blew the girl's long hair, blowing away her thoughts. scattered.
The pages of the book made a "clatter" sound in the wind, and a densely written collection of wrong questions was blown to the ground. The girl pushed her hair behind her ears, bent over to pick it up, but happened to bump into a slender fingers...
Combining the plots of TV dramas and novels that are rarely seen, in Ouyang Lianyu's imagination, an unforgettable first acquaintance on campus should be like this.
Then Gu Zheng quickly shook her head to interrupt her idea, and corrected her unsatisfiedly: "Teacher Ouyang, I have always had short hair since high school, and I don't have a dense collection of wrong questions."
"Feel sorry……"
Ouyang Lianyu smiled awkwardly, realizing that he had just been overthinking, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "Is it convenient to tell the teacher what happened that day?"
Gu Zheng said while sweeping the floor: "It's pretty much the same as what you said before. The time is September, and the location is indeed the playground. I was sitting under the shade of a tree studying, and Han Zhou suddenly came over to me."
She looked reminiscing, "Han Zhou was in poor health at that time and rarely participated in sports activities. Everyone said he was sick, but do you know what he wanted to do with me that day?"
"doing what?"
"He wants to compete with me in running."
Perhaps in order to let Ouyang Lianyu understand what this concept is, Gu Zheng added, "At that time, I was ranked first in almost all sports in the class and even the whole level, but Han Zhou was struggling to even run. So his challenge doesn't make any sense to me, it's not an exaggeration to say it's an egg against a rock."
"So you refused?" Ouyang Lianyu asked curiously.
"No, I agree."
Ouyang Lianyu was stunned, but she had heard Han Zhou talk about Gu Zheng's character, so she was not too surprised, "Because you are not afraid of any challenge and are willing to give every challenger a chance?"
"Of course not." Gu Zheng pouted, looking very resentful, "It's because he insisted on provoking me and asking me if I was scared."
Isn't this an obvious way to provoke generals...
Ouyang Lianyu smiled bitterly: "He must have a crush on you. I heard that many boys like to attract girls' attention like this."
"is that so……"
Gu Zheng blushed a little, "I was talking to him nicely, but he suddenly said he wanted to challenge me. Later I asked him why and he didn't tell me the reason."
In fact, the situation that day was like this -
Although Han Zhou, who was dying, got a status bar, the ability of the first-level status bar was too single and did not help his terminally ill situation. And he still didn’t know where to get the information needed to upgrade the status bar. Points until I saw the words "unlockable" on Gu Zheng's head in school.
The distinctive suffix naturally attracted his attention, and he planned to take advantage of the physical education class to have a chat with the monitor who made him the second-largest student in ten thousand years, to see what was special about him.
At that time, Gu Zheng was doing English reading comprehension exercises, and she was not bothered when he came over to her. She responded sentence by sentence, and from time to time she would silently recite the content of the answer options.
By coincidence, she happened to say "I want to fall in love (I want to fall in love)", and the status bar responded immediately. The three words "Unlockable" on Gu Zheng's head changed to "Already." Unlocked", followed by a series of words——
[The keyword is triggered, the target character Guzheng has been unlocked, and 10 points are obtained]
[Daily Task 1 (Guzheng): Make the target fall into a state of accelerated heartbeat ten times, and you will get point]
[Daily Task 1 (Guzheng): Get the target ten sentences of 'I'm afraid' and get point]
[Side mission has been opened: The target character Gu Zheng has a strong desire to win and lose, and has a deep desire for any form of victory. Please choose any one of the talents that the target character is good at, and complete at least one gorgeous victory under fair competition. , after completing the task, you can get 20 points and extract an enhanced skill from the target]
Seeing this scene, Han Zhou was ecstatic at that time. However, the points were not enough to complete the upgrade of the status bar. He had to consider completing the side mission as soon as possible, so he immediately challenged Gu Zheng. The speed of his face change made Gu Zheng unable to help himself. Look at him one more time.
Guzheng only mentioned running because she was only impressed by this one thing. In fact, Han Zhou proposed many challenges that day, including but not limited to English listening, cloze test, and answering the final math question in advance, but all ended in failure without exception.
There is no other way. The side quest has requirements. You must defeat Guzheng in the field she is good at, and it must be a gorgeous victory. Only in this way can you meet the requirements of the side quest and get the quest reward.
At that time, he had limited knowledge of guzheng. He only knew that she was good at learning and sports. He was too lazy to answer other questions, so he could only bite the bullet and think of solutions in these two fields.
Fortunately, he quickly came up with a crooked idea and proposed running with the guzheng.
Compared to others, Gu Zheng had a pretty good impression of her second-year-old son who also worked very hard. She couldn't bear to bully him, so she declined his challenge. Unexpectedly, the other person kicked her nose in the face and said she was scared. , so she sneered and accepted the challenge, determined to chop off this guy's head.
Listening to Gu Zheng's resentful description, Ouyang Lianyu had already vaguely guessed that Gu Zheng should have lost to Han Zhou in that game, but she was curious, if it was like what Gu Zheng said, how did Han Zhou win? What about hers?
Could it be cheating?
"It's not cheating." Gu Zheng sighed. She was still depressed when she thought about it, and said dissatisfiedly, "I was too careless. I didn't expect that guy to cheat on the rules."
"What do you mean?"
"We started at the same starting line. He said that the rule is whoever returns to the starting line first wins. I subconsciously understood that whoever completes a lap first wins."
Ouyang Lianyu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said, "Isn't this just cheating?"
"No, he told me the rule twice just to remind me that there was something wrong with the rule, but I didn't listen carefully."
Guzheng pulled the ball up and dumped it into the trash can, and said funnyly, "He was probably afraid that I would beat him. At first, he didn't dare to turn around and return to the starting point. He even pretended to run a few steps, but he fell down before he could run very far."
"I turned around and wanted to help him up, but he also advised me righteously not to look back and to run forward quickly. The game is a game and the rules are the rules. There is no room for letting go. He must compete with me in my heyday to feel at ease. "
Ouyang Lianyu covered her mouth and smiled: "He deliberately emphasized that 'the rules are the rules'. He should be afraid that you will be angry."
"Who says it isn't?"
Thinking of Han Zhou's disgraced look at that time, Gu Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't realize that I had been teased until I ran as far away as I could and saw him running towards the starting line. But it was also because I underestimated him. , I did lose that time."
Looking at Gu Zheng's expression, Ouyang Lianyu suddenly remembered what Han Zhou had said before -
"Guzheng is very competitive, but she only pursues a victory that is clear to her heart. She is obviously a tough-talking person, but when she loses, she loses, and she won't make any excuses. This is something that many people can't do."
Win with confidence, lose with magnanimity... Ouyang Lianyu seems to suddenly understand Han Zhou's concerns. It's not that such a girl doesn't dare to compete in relationships, but that she thinks she will lose once the competition starts.
As long as the person you like doesn't firmly choose you, even victory is meaningless.
Who knew that such a victory would be mixed with nostalgia and compulsion?
Such a victory is unfair, and unfair means that the victory is false.
But... I understand, but can Han Zhou really make Gu Zheng accept Noila Mo's existence?
Ouyang Lianyu was full of worry.
She was worried that Gu Zheng would notice something strange, so she forced a smile and asked, "Is it because Han Zhou defeated you that you are deeply impressed by what happened that day?"
Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled.
"It's more than that."

Chapter 271 I won’t hate you
"Xiaoxiao, are you feeling unwell?"
On the campus corridor covered with fallen leaves, several girls were walking side by side on the way to the playground. One of them, a petite girl, had her head drooped, her hands hanging feebly by her sides, and she would sigh from time to time, with a look of despair on her face. look like.
"No……"
Hearing his roommate's question, Xiao Xiaoxiao shook his head feebly. However, although he did not admit it, coupled with his wilted look, his words did not sound convincing at all.
Zhou Ting said worriedly: "You didn't sleep well last night, and you didn't catch up on much sleep today. Are you too tired?"
She knew very well how serious Xiao Xiaoxiao's insomnia was. In the past, she would find time to catch up on sleep at least the next day, but she didn't sleep much today, and she didn't know if her body could handle it.
"I'm not tired, but I have some backache, as if someone beat me last night..." Xiao Xiaoxiao yawned, rubbed his shoulders and sighed, "It's mainly because there were too many people in the cafeteria today. I'm almost overwhelmed. There have never been so many people in the cafeteria on weekends. I have to work overtime even though I have a part-time job. It's a huge loss."
"You forgot, because there is a social event today." A roommate said with a smile, "I heard that not only students from all majors and grades will participate in this event, but people from outside the school are also welcome to join in the fun. It's not surprising if there are more people."
"It should be like this. I've been to the playground before. The layout is almost like a large-scale party. There are even food stalls on the runway. Tang Wenshuang is really amazing. He can create such a big battle in any party."
"Haven't you heard? This is not all the result of Tang Wenshuang alone. How could she organize such a big event by herself? I heard that she has a brother who is a cadre of the student union, and she plans to take this opportunity..."
Xiao Xiaoxiao is not a person who likes gossip. After listening to it casually, he lost interest. He yawned lazily and looked up at the blue sky. He thought that in this weather, he should stay in the dormitory and sleep.
Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Zhou Ting advised in a low voice: "Xiao Xiao, if you are really sleepy, you should go back to sleep. There is no need to accompany us to the playground."
Xiao Xiaoxiao shook his head nonchalantly: "I promised to accompany you before, how can I go back on my word now? It's not too late to go to the playground for a while and then go back to sleep."
Stretching, she continued: "And I heard that there are some places on the playground where you can get free prizes. Don't give up. I don't want to miss it."
"Then you have to participate in the corresponding activities." Zhou Ting said with a wry smile, "You have to find someone of the opposite sex to participate with you. Many activities have such requirements."
"Why does it have to be of the opposite sex? It's really just a blind date event..." Xiao Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, obviously a little dissatisfied. Without such restrictions, getting free prizes with her ability would be like picking something up.
"That's right..." Zhou Ting didn't know how to answer the question. She hesitated for a while and asked, "By the way, Xiaoxiao, are you worried about something recently?"
"No, why do you ask?" Xiao Xiaoxiao looked at her.
"It's not necessarily something on your mind..." Zhou Ting asked in a cautious tone, "I mean, is there anything you care about recently... or someone?"
"No, if you have anything to say, just say it. Why are you so weird?" Xiao Xiaoxiao wondered.
"It's nothing, I just feel that you seem to be getting closer to Han Zhou recently, and you seem to be seeing him more often..." Zhou Ting carefully tested.
She knew that Xiaoxiao had a good relationship with Han Zhou, but it was only a good relationship. There were some daily interactions, but not much. But recently, for some unknown reason, the relationship between the two seemed to have heated up sharply. , they would get together to communicate from time to time, and the frequency of Xiaoxiao peeking at each other in class has skyrocketed, which is weird no matter how they look at each other.
She suspected that Xiaoxiao and Han Zhou were together.
She didn't object to this. Han Zhou was handsome, had a good personality, and had a strong sense of justice. He injured his hands trying to save someone on the first day of school. If Xiaoxiao could be with him, she would naturally have both hands and feet. Agree.
But the question is whether this development speed is too fast. The two people don't have much interaction at ordinary times. Why did their relationship suddenly heat up?
It took Xiao Xiaoxiao two seconds to understand what his friend meant: "Do you think I have fallen in love with that guy?"
"Yeah." Zhou Ting did not deny it and nodded seriously.
"Do you think it's possible?" Xiao Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes.
"It's...possible."
Unlike Xiao Xiaoxiao who doesn't care about gossip, Zhou Ting clearly knows that many girls in the class have a good impression of Han Zhou. If there is a chance to have a relationship, most of them are willing to give it a try.
"That's impossible!" Xiao Xiaoxiao said angrily, "Han Zhou and I just have something to talk about, don't talk nonsense, and that guy already has a girlfriend..."
As soon as she said this, she noticed that several roommates were stunned for a few seconds at the same time, and then asked in unison: "What? Han Zhou has a girlfriend?!"
