Mo Yixia didn't really want to hide at first, but after getting under the quilt, she seemed to have changed her mind. She pressed her body tightly against his back and behaved quite cooperatively.
Han Zhou was relatively thin, but Mo Yixia was obviously slimmer. Even his not-so-broad back was enough to completely block the opponent behind him. In addition, with the thick quilt as cover, as long as Gu Zheng didn't turn on the light, or didn't go around behind him to take a closer look, it would be difficult to find Mo Yixia hiding in the quilt.
That's why he prayed that Guzheng would never turn on the light.
While praying, he couldn't help but feel puzzled and couldn't understand why Guzheng broke into his room late at night.
You know, Gu Zheng is not as "impolite" as Mo Yixia, and usually would not break into the room of the opposite sex at night. But now, not only did she break into his room aggressively, but she also said nothing and had no intention of leaving. It was hard not to make him think of a bad word -
Catch an adulterer!
Could it be that Gu Zheng happened to discover that Mo Yixia was not in the room and suspected that she had run into my room, so she ran over here in a rage?
Or maybe this guy Mo Yixia wanted to trick me and deliberately led Guzheng into my room for some reason?
It’s not that Han Zhou didn’t want to think positively, but Gu Zheng’s current behavior was too much like someone who came to catch someone cheating. He didn’t dare open his eyes, but he could clearly sense that she was looking for something everywhere. Wasn’t this suspicion that there was someone else in the room?
The more Han Zhou thought about it, the more frightened he became. However, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt a little itchy on his back - Mo Yixia seemed to be writing something on his back with her fingers.
With his photographic memory, he quickly connected the strokes on his back in his mind to form a complete sentence -
"This matter has nothing to do with me."
Even though the only thing she could see now was Han Zhou's back, Mo Yixia's "mind reading" was still working steadily.
Nothing to do with Mo Yixia?
Han Zhou was stunned at first, and then he became more confused. If it had nothing to do with Mo Yixia, why would Gu Zheng come to his room in the middle of the night? It couldn't be that she was here to chat with him, right?
His thoughts raced, but he still couldn't figure it out. Fortunately, the lights in the room hadn't been turned on, which made him feel relieved, because this might mean that Gu Zheng had no intention of staying for long and might leave after a while.
However, after a few minutes, Guzheng not only did not leave as he expected, but instead began to tiptoe towards the bed.
What does Guzheng want to do?
Han Zhou's heart trembled, and he realized that he could not continue pretending to be asleep. The closer Gu Zheng got to Mo Yixia, the greater the possibility that she would be discovered. If Gu Zheng found Mo Yixia under his quilt, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As the footsteps got closer, he pretended to be a little cold, smacked his lips and pulled the quilt closer to himself, then opened his eyes drowsily and just in time to see Gu Zheng standing by the bed with a cell phone in her hand.
The two looked at each other and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Seeing Han Zhou wake up, Gu Zheng froze for a moment, then quickly pretended to be indifferent, retracted her hand that was about to reach out, and muttered, "You're awake?"
The tone sounded somewhat dissatisfied.
"Gu Zheng? Are you still awake?"
Han Zhou tried his best to make his performance look natural. He yawned and muttered, and suddenly his expression froze, as if he suddenly woke up. He said in shock, "No, why are you in my room?"
"Exaggerated."
Mo Yixia, who was under the quilt, had no intention of hiding her feelings and wrote such a comment behind him.
Fortunately, such acting skills may be too exaggerated for Mo Yixia, but it is enough to deal with Guzheng.
Gu Zheng dodged a glance. Although she felt a little guilty, she still gave the excuse she had prepared long ago: "The rain is getting heavier, and I was worried that the window in your room was not closed properly, so I came to check..."
The air was quiet for a moment.
"Do you think I would believe this?"
Han Zhou sighed slightly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Judging from Guzheng's performance, the other party obviously didn't know that Mo Yixia was in his room, otherwise he would have already started questioning her, and there would be no need to find such a poor excuse.
"Believe it or not... you don't even know how to lock the door, so why is it strange that the windows are not closed properly?"
Gu Zheng curled her lips and changed the subject. She moved towards the closet and said, "I said your window was not closed. Raindrops are floating in."
You are lying with your eyes wide open. I almost welded the windows shut, so where did the rain come from?
Han Zhou resisted the urge to complain and asked suspiciously, "Why are you walking towards the closet when the window is not closed properly?"
He was nervous because the wardrobe was located right in front of the bed. If Gu Zheng looked at the bed from that angle, she would easily notice that he had "gained a lot of weight" and thus discover Mo Yixia hiding under the quilt.
One thing was basically certain. Gu Zheng was probably here to look for someone, but there was no evidence that there were other people hiding in the house, so she was relatively restrained and did not conduct a large-scale search.
Han Zhou secretly felt lucky that he had hidden Mo Yixia's slippers under the pillow instead of under the bed. Gu Zheng obviously wanted to look under the bed just now, but in her opinion the huge wardrobe seemed more suspicious, so she did not bend down to check.
He still didn't realize that he had hidden the wrong slippers.
What confused Han Zhou was that, since Gu Zheng was not looking for Mo Yixia, who did she suspect was hiding in the room?
Gu Zheng ignored Han Zhou's words and walked straight to the closet, pretending to mutter, "There's no closet that big in my room. It's too big to put clothes in..."
Before she finished her words, she flung open the closet door.
The closet was completely empty. There wasn't even a piece of clothing to be seen, let alone a person.
"Are you looking for something?" Han Zhou showed confusion at the right time and asked tentatively.
"No, I said I was here to close the window."
Gu Zheng was quite stubborn. She shook her head and walked to the window, pulled open the curtains and looked carefully, but didn't see anyone. After thinking for a while, she suddenly squatted down and pretended to tie her shoelaces, completely forgetting that she was wearing slippers. She lowered her head and looked under the bed vigilantly, but still found nothing.
Two minutes later, Han Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Guzheng searched almost every corner of the room, but her attention was never on the bed. Even though she looked at the thick quilt several times, she didn't think much about it. Finally, she sat down on the edge of the bed, looking a little depressed.

Chapter 376 You Need Insurance
Looking at the girl sitting beside the bed, Han Zhou couldn't let go of his worries.
Although Gu Zheng did not continue looking, she had no intention of leaving. She did not say anything, but just thought about something with a melancholy look on her face.
Fortunately, the other party's attention was never on the bed, otherwise he would have discovered Mo Yixia hiding in the quilt.
The heavy rain continued, raindrops hit the glass heavily, and cold air kept drilling into the room through the gaps in the windows, but it was no match for the warm air from the air conditioner, so the room was always filled with warmth.
Although the room was warm and Gu Zheng was healthy, Han Zhou was still worried that she would catch a cold. After hesitating for a while, he did not send her back to her room. Instead, he asked, "Gu Zheng, what's wrong with you? Why did you come to my room so late at night?"
"Looking for someone." Gu Zheng replied sullenly.
"Looking for someone?" Han Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he said calmly, "Who?"
Could it be that Gu Zheng discovered that Mo Yixia was not in the room?
Gu Zheng didn't answer, but glared at him in dissatisfaction: "First tell me what's the matter with the message that Sister Yin sent you?"
"what news?"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, his expression suddenly became a little strange, "Wait, Sister Yin...you didn't peek at my phone, did you?"
He looked at Gu Zheng with suspicion. The latter turned her head away guiltily, as if she didn't dare to look at him, but soon she frowned and made an unhappy expression.
Han Zhou has realized that Gu Zheng was talking about the message that Sister Yin asked the senior to come over to give her a massage. This guy probably thought that this message was sent to him by Sister Yin.
I see...the person this guy has been looking for is actually Jong Eun?
"Who...who peeked at your phone!"
Although Gu Zheng had a stern face, her aura had weakened a lot. She defended herself with a guilty conscience, "I was originally going to your room to look for you. Who knew that your phone screen would light up at that time, and the font size was set so large? You know I have good eyesight... Anyway, I saw it by accident!"
At this point, she suddenly realized that there was no need for her to explain this matter. It was Han Zhou who should have explained it. So her face sank, she punched the other man's thigh hard, and asked fiercely, "Now I'm asking you! Tell me, what's going on!"
"So you suspect that Sister Yin has come to me?" Han Zhou said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Why don't you just ask me about this? Do you have to stay up late at night to catch her cheating?"
"What do you mean by catching an adulterer? That's such a harsh statement..."
Gu Zheng blushed slightly and said unhappily, "Don't change the subject! If you wanted to lie to me from the beginning, you wouldn't be able to answer me honestly even if I asked you."
"Tsk."
Mo Yixia wrote a word behind Han Zhou.
Han Zhou's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and he explained seriously: "Listen to me, Guzheng, that phone is not actually mine. My senior sister took it by mistake..."
He explained the whole thing in detail. Worried that Gu Zheng would not believe him, he handed the phone on the bedside table to her, pointed at the back of the phone and said, "Look, the patterns on the back of my phone and my senior's phone can be spelled into a heart, but the pattern on my phone is mainly concentrated in the lower half, while the pattern on this phone is obviously in the upper half, and my fingerprint can't unlock this phone, so it is actually..."
In fact, Gu Zheng had already believed Han Zhou when he said that the phone was taken by mistake, and her mood immediately improved a lot.
But seeing that the other party kept talking about the differences between the two couples' phones, she felt uncomfortable for some reason and interrupted impatiently, "Okay, I get it. You want to say that this is actually the senior's phone, right? Your phone is with her?"
What’s so great about couple phones… she thought sourly.
"Yes." Han Zhou smiled, "So this is just a misunderstanding. You should have asked me earlier."
After a pause, he suddenly felt a little scared and said with a wry smile, "Fortunately you didn't run to Sister Yin, otherwise there would be a big misunderstanding."
"How could I be so inconsiderate?"
Gu Zheng had her reasons for only raiding Han Zhou's room. She asked unconvincedly, "Since you knew you took the wrong phone, why didn't you return it to Senior Sister?"
"When I realized I had taken the wrong phone, everyone had already gone back to their rooms. I'm afraid the senior has already gone to bed. There's no need to disturb her so late at night. It's nothing important anyway. It won't be too late to return it to her tomorrow morning."
"That's right."
Gu Zheng nodded, thinking that what Han Zhou said made sense. Given the senior's personality, if she found out that she had taken the wrong phone, she would definitely return it immediately. The reason why she hadn't returned it yet was probably because she had fallen asleep before she realized it.
"All right."
Seeing Gu Zheng's expression ease, Han Zhou realized that the time was almost right, and said with a smile, "Well, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it's time for you to go back to bed. We can talk about it tomorrow morning."
The longer Gu Zheng stayed in the room, the greater the risk of Mo Yixia being discovered.
Gu Zheng hesitated for a while: "Don't you want to know why I went into your room to look for you before?"
Han Zhou was stunned. Of course he wanted to know, but now was not the time to chat, so he chuckled and said, "It's late now. We can talk tomorrow morning if we have anything to say."
"Ok."
After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng nodded gently, stood up and walked towards the door. But before Han Zhou could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the other party suddenly retreat back to the bedside, sat down suddenly, and looked at Han Zhou with burning eyes, "No, I want to tell you now!"
She was aggressive, as if she had made some kind of determination.
Meeting the girl's slightly burning gaze, Han Zhou felt inexplicably nervous, worried that she was planning to take this opportunity to confess her love to him.
Late at night is not a good time to make important decisions, because it will amplify emotions and weaken rationality, making usually cowardly people brave and usually calm people crazy, causing them to make certain impulsive decisions.
Of course, an impulsive decision is not necessarily a wrong decision, but for Han Zhou now, Guzheng’s confession is obviously not the right decision.
Because Mo Yixia was hiding in his quilt.
Han Zhou pretended to be calm, yawned deliberately, and acted sleepy: "Is it something serious?"
"Yes!" Gu Zheng looked determined.
