"Does it have to be now?"
"Yes, we must tell you now."
"Can't I do it tomorrow morning?"
"no!"
Guzheng was worried that she wouldn't have the courage to say those words after tomorrow morning.
"but I……"
"I'll leave when I'm done!"
Seeing that Gu Zheng had said this, Han Zhou naturally couldn't continue pretending, otherwise it would be too suspicious.
At the same time, Mo Yixia suddenly wrote the three words "Let her speak" on his back with her fingertips, obviously very interested in what Gu Zheng would say next.
This guy really just wants to watch the fun and not mind the trouble... Han Zhou sighed inwardly and had to bite the bullet to meet Gu Zheng's determined eyes.
"Then tell me."
It doesn’t matter what you say, just don’t let it be a confession… he prayed in his heart.
"Oh...oh, I—"
Guzheng was very determined the last second, but when it came to the moment to speak, she hesitated again. She lowered her head to brew her emotions for a while, took a deep breath, and was about to grit her teeth and speak when she suddenly noticed the slippers on the ground again.
She felt that the slippers were suspicious when she first entered the room. Now that she looked closely, she suspected that they were a pair of slippers for girls. She stretched out her feet to compare the slippers on her feet with the slippers on the ground, and she became more certain of her guess.
The two pairs of slippers are almost the same size.
Although Han Zhou has a delicate face and a relatively thin body, he is still a boy of nearly 1.8 meters in height. It is impossible for him to have such small feet, nor can he wear such small slippers.
So this pair of slippers definitely does not belong to Han Zhou, but to a girl.
Gu Zheng thought about it and first ruled out the possibility that these were Senior Sister Zhong Ling's slippers.
It's impossible that the senior student not only took Han Zhou's phone by mistake, but also happened to take away Han Zhou's slippers?
It is understandable that she took the wrong phone because the two phones looked similar, but the senior student would not have failed to notice such an obvious thing as whether the slippers fit or not.
Similarly, it is impossible for Han Zhou not to notice this problem.
So...whose slippers are these?
Or in other words...where did Han Zhou's slippers go?
The more Gu Zheng thought about it, the more suspicious she felt. This time, she didn't plan to wait until late at night to "catch the adulterer". Instead, she asked directly, "Han Zhou, what size shoes do you wear?"
Han Zhou was stunned: "43, what's wrong?"
"Where are the slippers?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Of course it's 43." Han Zhou didn't understand and asked curiously, "Is this what we have to say tonight?"
Gu Zheng ignored him and continued to look at the slippers on the ground, asking, "You don't have a habit of making things difficult for others, right?"
"of course not."
"Do you know what size shoe I wear?"
"How would I know? Probably less than 40."
Han Zhou became more and more confused as he listened. He wondered what kind of questions Gu Zheng was asking. Suddenly, his heart trembled and he suddenly realized something. His heartbeat accelerated sharply. He pretended to be calm and asked, "Why are you asking these questions all of a sudden?"
He didn't dare to look at the slippers on the ground, let alone touch the slippers under the pillow, but he could still vaguely sense that he might have hidden the wrong slippers - the slippers left on the ground were probably Mo Yixia's slippers, not his own!
And Guzheng has already discovered this!
Han Zhou broke out in a cold sweat.
The villa is not a hotel, so it is impossible to prepare slippers for everyone. Therefore, everyone has to bring their own slippers. If Guzheng insists on finding out the owner of the slippers, then she only needs to take the slippers away and confirm them one by one tomorrow morning.
No...she didn't even have to wait until tomorrow morning. She could knock on the doors of every room now and check who didn't have slippers or who was wearing a pair of slippers that didn't fit.
And if this is true, then Mo Yixia, who is not in the room at the moment, will definitely be discovered!
At that point, even if he could change his slippers back in time, he wouldn't be able to explain both things at the same time.
Han Zhou was in a panic, but fortunately Guzheng did not have the same hearing as him, so she could not hear his heartbeat that was like a drum.
What is even more fortunate is that, perhaps because there was a misunderstanding first, Guzheng seemed to think that this might also be a misunderstanding. Therefore, although her eyes were suspicious, her expression was still calm, and she had no intention of taking the slippers to each room to confirm. It was obvious that she intended to give him a chance to explain.
Gu Zheng didn't rush to ask about the slippers, but asked curiously, "You seem to have huddled in the quilt since I entered the room, and you're still like this now. Are you going to keep lying like this and talking to me?"
Han Zhou's heart skipped a beat. The slippers incident triggered a chain reaction. Gu Zheng was obviously beginning to doubt his behavior further. He could only bite the bullet and explain, "It's too cold in the room. I'm worried about catching a cold."
"But isn't the air conditioner on in the room? I still feel a bit hot."
Gu Zheng obviously didn't believe this explanation. She stared at him with one hand already grabbing a corner of the quilt, and asked suspiciously, "Did you hide something in the quilt?"
As he said this, he was about to lift up the quilt.
"Don't!"
Han Zhou was quick to respond and quickly stopped him, "I'm not wearing any clothes. I'm only wearing a pair of shorts!"
Unlike Mo Yixia, Guzheng is a very thin-skinned girl. Unless she is extremely sure, she will not easily lift the quilt when she knows that he is not wearing any clothes.
As expected, Gu Zheng's expression froze when she heard that, and her hand movements stopped. Her face turned slightly red, and she muttered something in a low voice.
Han Zhou vaguely heard the word "hooligan".
No, you broke into my room late at night, and that makes me a hooligan?
He complained in his heart, but when he saw that the guzheng stopped moving, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But now is not the time to relax my vigilance, I must find a reason to send the guzheng away quickly...
Han Zhou was trying hard to think of a way to get Gu Zheng to leave, when suddenly his expression froze, as if he had been electrocuted.
"what happened to you?"
Gu Zheng had been stealing glances at him and immediately noticed the strangeness on his face.
"No, nothing..."
Han Zhou forced a smile, his tone a little unnatural, because at this moment Mo Yixia under the quilt was quietly taking off his clothes.
The reason why he did not resist was because Mo Yixia wrote a sentence behind him.
"A lie is always just a lie. You need an insurance policy."
Mo Yixia's meaning was very simple. Gu Zheng might lift the quilt again at any time. If she found that he was actually wearing clothes, she would definitely become suspicious and would never believe his explanation again until she lifted the quilt completely to confirm what was inside.
But if you lift the quilt and find that he is indeed not wearing any clothes, you will most likely blush and completely give up the idea of finding out.
——This is an insurance policy.
Han Zhou understood what Mo Yixia meant, but it was difficult to determine whether this guy really wanted to give him advice or take advantage of him.
This guy has no shame at all and has already started pulling down his pants.
But then again...
Isn't this guy a little too skilled at taking off people's clothes quietly under the quilt?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 377 Another one?
Seeing Han Zhou's expression becoming more and more embarrassed, as if he had encountered something difficult to talk about, Gu Zheng couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
It's not strange to sleep without clothes, and I, a girl, don't care. But Han Zhou looked weird, as if I was taking advantage of him. It was really puzzling.
She didn't believe that this guy was so thin-skinned.
Either this guy was pretending to be like this on purpose to irritate her, or there was definitely something hidden under the quilt.
Gu Zheng became suspicious, and suddenly her heart was shocked. She suddenly woke up and realized that she had fallen into Han Zhou's trap - this guy's real purpose was to divert her attention and make her forget about the slippers!
She completely forgot that she was the one who brought up the topic.
"Please explain the slippers first." Gu Zheng said with a straight face, "The slippers beside the bed are obviously girls'. Why are they in your room, your own slippers?"
"You said this."
Han Zhou knew that he couldn't answer "I don't know" at this moment, otherwise it would be too suspicious. How could someone not notice when they wore the wrong slippers? So he smiled and said, "These are actually Teacher Ouyang's slippers. She wore my slippers and left."
After much thought, he felt that it was most appropriate to let Ouyang Lianyu take the blame.
Of all the people, it would be wrong to let Mo Yixia take the blame, as this would make Gu Zheng very unhappy. Zhong Ling had already taken the wrong phone, so it would be a bit unreasonable if she wore the wrong slippers. As for Zhong Yin, he already had a lot of complaints about his scumbag behavior, so even if he was willing to cooperate with him, he would not look at him well.
Xiao Xiaoxiao's slippers are the smallest of all, and one can tell at a glance that they are different from the pair on the ground, so he is not suitable to take the blame. Wang Lengqiu may be willing to help him, but ultimately he is not as reliable as Teacher Ouyang. After all, the two of them do not have much in common and lack the corresponding tacit understanding.
Of course, the most important thing is that Gu Zheng has great respect for her teacher Ouyang Lianyu, and she is also aware of her careless character. After learning that she wore the wrong slippers, she will probably not ask her to confirm, which is relatively safe.
Therefore, Ouyang Lianyu is the best person to take the blame.
However, Han Zhou understood that although Gu Zheng might not necessarily ask Ouyang Lianyu for confirmation, she would definitely ask him for clarification, so he had to make up a reasonable excuse.
As expected, Gu Zheng suddenly showed a confused expression and asked, "Why did Teacher Ouyang take your slippers?"
Han Zhou lied with his eyes open, and said helplessly: "You know, I took a shower in the room with a bathroom. There was a table in that room. Teacher Ouyang came in to work for a while. It seemed to be some kind of questionnaire. After I took a shower and left the bathroom, she asked me to fill it out."
"The table was placed next to the bed. We were both sitting on the bed. When she left, she was thinking about work and didn't notice that she had taken my slippers. When I noticed, she had already returned to the room."
Guzheng suddenly realized that it was indeed possible for Teacher Ouyang to forget some unimportant details because of focusing on work, but she still felt it was a bit strange: "Then why don't you go to Teacher Ouyang to exchange the slippers?"
"It's too cold tonight, so I went to blow dry my hair first. I originally wanted to go back to the room to send a message to Teacher Ouyang to return my slippers to me, but my phone was taken away by my senior. It was already very late, so I thought I would just talk about it tomorrow morning." Han Zhou sighed.
"You really like to put off everything until tomorrow..." Gu Zheng muttered.
Although she looked disdainful, she obviously believed Han Zhou's words.
Han Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and decided to check with Teacher Ouyang as soon as possible tomorrow morning to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. The sound came from far away and then disappeared, as if someone just stopped outside the door.
No, are you coming?
Han Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and Gu Zheng's face also looked a little flustered. She was a shy person, and was embarrassed to run into Han Zhou's room so late at night. It would be bad if others saw it.
"Han Zhou, are you asleep?"
Ouyang Lianyu's low voice and a slight knock on the door were heard outside the door. She deliberately lowered her voice, as if she was worried about disturbing others.
