He sighed in his heart, telling one lie really requires countless lies to cover it up, and he seemed to be getting more and more accustomed to lying.
"Are you saying that what you remembered is related to Wang Lengqiu?"
As expected, Ouyang Lianyu was really attracted. After hesitating for a moment, she smoothed her nightgown and carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, "What kind of past event was it?"
She forgot about the slippers for the moment.
Under the quilt, she was also very curious about the guzheng in Han Zhou's arms. Of course, she didn't know that this was a lie Han Zhou made up on the spur of the moment to keep Ouyang Lianyu. She thought Han Zhou was really going to say something incredible, so she immediately pricked up her ears.
"I told you, it's a strange past event." Han Zhou said in a sighing tone.
"Of course I know that. The teacher is asking you why you think this is strange?"
"That's a long story."
"Don't be in a hurry, just take your time." Ouyang Lianyu said patiently.
"In fact, I don't remember much. I'm not even sure if it was a dream or a real memory."
"But didn't you just say that this is a long story?"
"It's because I can't remember that it takes so long to tell you this." Han Zhou said seriously.
Ouyang Lianyu hesitated for a moment: "Why do I feel like you are deliberately delaying time..."
"Of course not, I'm just organizing my words." Han Zhou said calmly, "After all, I just remembered this when I was sleeping."
In fact, he was indeed delaying time, mainly to fabricate a memory that could stand up to scrutiny as much as possible - because the person he wanted to deceive was not only Ouyang Lianyu, but also the guzheng under the quilt.
"Okay, the teacher misunderstood you." Ouyang Lianyu did not doubt it and smiled gently, "Then wait until you organize your words."
With nothing to do, she took a closer look at the small white bottle in her hand and found that it was just an ordinary small bottle, not quite the same as the common medicine bottles. The strangest thing was that there was no label on the bottle, and it didn't look like a regular medicine at all.
In doubt, Han Zhou, who had been "organizing his words" for a long time, finally spoke, and said in a deep voice: "I remember when I was about eleven or twelve years old, I saw a girl being bullied by many people on the way to school. I wanted to go over to take a look, but before I could get close, those people all ran away. The girl at that time seemed to be Wang Lengqiu."
When I was eleven or twelve, that was probably fifth or sixth grade...
Ouyang Lianyu silently calculated the time and asked curiously, "Is there anything strange about this?"
She remembered that Han Zhou had just said that he was remembering a strange past event, but this event was obviously not strange.
Han Zhou recalled for a moment: "The strange thing is that it was still early in the morning and there were not many people on that road. And without anyone trying to stop them, the group of children suddenly ran away as if they had seen something scary."
Ouyang Lianyu opened her mouth and said, "Are you saying that the group of kids who were bullying Wang Lengqiu suddenly got scared and ran away?"
"That's it."
Han Zhou nodded, and quietly took out the slippers hidden under the pillow and handed them to Ouyang Lianyu without making a sound.
Ouyang Lianyu was still thinking about what Han Zhou had just said, and asked in confusion: "Do you think there is something wrong with their escape? Could it be that it has been too long and you have forgotten some details of the time, such as the fact that there were adults who stopped them at that time?"
"I don't remember any stoppers, but maybe I remembered it wrong."
Ouyang Lianyu nodded thoughtfully and confirmed: "But no matter what, you are sure that you have indeed met Wang Lengqiu before, right?"
"Correct."
Han Zhou said with a firm tone, and then changed the subject, "By the way, Teacher Ouyang, haven't you noticed that you accidentally put on the wrong pair of my slippers?"
He stuffed the slippers in his hand into Ouyang Lianyu's hand.
"what?"
Ouyang Lianyu took the slippers in a daze, not understanding the situation for a moment. She didn't know why Han Zhou suddenly changed the subject and why he gave her a pair of slippers.
Han Zhou believed that the other party would understand what he meant, so he said seriously: "I said that the slippers you are wearing now are my slippers, and the slippers on the ground are yours."
"I... wore it wrong?"
Ouyang Lianyu looked confused. It was not like she couldn't recognize her own slippers. Even without her glasses, she could clearly feel that the slippers in her hands were very big. No matter how you looked at them, they should be Han Zhou's. What did this kid mean by giving his slippers to her?
By the way, there are two pairs of slippers in the room...
No, if you add the pair Han Zhou just gave me, that would make a total of three pairs of slippers. Could it be that...
As if she suddenly thought of something, Ouyang Lianyu's expression changed slightly, and then she looked at Han Zhou who was curled up in the quilt with complicated eyes.
Han Zhou looked at her awkwardly.
The air was quiet for a moment, and Ouyang Lianyu let out a barely audible sigh, and said helplessly: "Okay, it seems that the teacher really wore the wrong slippers, but the teacher is not wearing glasses, so it is a little difficult to see. Can you tell the teacher where my slippers are?"
If I guessed correctly, I need to put on the right pair of slippers and leave here.
Han Zhou was overjoyed. It seemed that Ouyang Lianyu not only understood what he meant, but was also willing to help him get through this crisis.
He stretched his head to look at the bedside and said with a smile: "It's right next to your left foot, teacher."
That pair of slippers belonged to Mo Yixia. What Ouyang Lianyu had to do was to put on Mo Yixia's shoes and put his slippers back on the ground, so that it would create the illusion that the two of them had exchanged slippers.
Ouyang Lianyu felt a little helpless. She took off her slippers and put on the slippers on her left foot. After thinking for a while, she put Han Zhou's things in her hand on the ground.
She was glad that she didn't wear glasses, otherwise many people would be embarrassed tonight.
At this moment, Han Zhou suddenly coughed and reminded: "Teacher Ouyang, can you give me my slippers? I am not feeling well right now..."
Ouyang Lianyu was stunned, thinking, didn't you just hand me your slippers? Why do you want me to take them back now? But she soon realized that what Han Zhou really wanted was not his own slippers, but her slippers.
After hesitating for a moment, she bent down, picked up her slippers, and handed them to Han Zhou hesitantly.
Although slippers are not considered private items, she felt somewhat embarrassed when she thought that Han Zhou was holding the slippers in his hands, which were still warm from her feet.
Especially when she saw with her own eyes that the other party put the slippers under the pillow, she felt even more embarrassed, and even suspected that this student had some special fetish.
Han Zhou did not notice anything strange about Ouyang Lianyu. He just felt that Teacher Ouyang was indeed not stupid. At the same time, he was a little worried and hoped that Mo Yixia would not hate wearing the slippers that Teacher Ouyang had worn.
Seeing that the problem with the slippers had been solved and there shouldn't be any further problems in the future, he finally felt relieved. Just as he was about to send Ouyang Lianyu away, he heard another knock on the door.
No, doesn’t everyone sleep at night?
Han Zhou felt a little numb. Including Mo Yixia and Gu Zheng who didn't knock on the door, this was the fourth person who ran to his door tonight, but he didn't know who it was.
Apart from the continuous knocking on the door, there was no shouting from outside, and it was not known whether it was intentional.
Is it Xiao Xiaoxiao?
Or Wang Lengqiu?
Han Zhou was suspicious and felt that the latter was more likely, because Xiao Xiaoxiao's temperament was similar to Guzheng's. If there was no response after knocking twice, she would just push the door open. She would not be so quiet.
Ouyang Lianyu was originally quite calm. After all, she came here for a reason and had enough reasons to explain it. But she soon remembered that there were other girls hiding in the room besides her, or maybe even more than one, and she couldn't help but become nervous.
With so many girls gathering in Han Zhou's room late at night, it was hard not to have some bad associations.
Especially when she thought of her slippers being placed under her pillow by Han Zhou, she felt inexplicably guilty and hesitated, "Do I need to find a place to hide?"
Han Zhou was stunned. Ouyang Lianyu's question stumped him. He immediately grasped the edge of the quilt tightly and said solemnly, "You can't hide under the quilt."
The place is full, there's no room for any more.
Guzheng blushed under the quilt.
Ouyang Lianyu thought about it, stood up and walked to the large wardrobe against the wall, opened the door, carefully got in, and then closed the door, leaving only a small gap.
In fact, she regretted asking that question as early as when she asked it. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. This is the truth she has always taught her students. But now, although she clearly did nothing wrong, she inexplicably felt guilty and even offered to hide.
She didn't know why she did this subconsciously, even though it was more likely to be misunderstood.
She was hesitating whether to go out of the closet when she suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open. She immediately held her breath and held the closet door tightly, fearing that she would be discovered by someone who walked into the room.
It's too late to get out now.
The gap in the door was quite narrow, and Ouyang Lianyu had no idea who came in. The same was true for Guzheng and Mo Yisha who were under the quilt. Fortunately, Han Zhou spoke up and answered the three people's questions.
"Senior, why...why are you here?"
Obviously, the person who just entered the room was Zhong Ling.
No wonder no one heard the shouting.
Zhong Ling obviously didn't expect that Han Zhou would not lock the door when he went to bed, and she didn't expect that the other party was not asleep yet. She was a little flustered for a moment and hurried to explain.
Han Zhou strengthened his hearing in time, and suddenly realized what he said: "So that's it, you are here to give me a mobile phone?"
Zhong Ling nodded slightly, with an embarrassed smile on her face: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Don't say that. If you must, blame me for being careless and forgetting to bring a towel. Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken the wrong phone." Han Zhou laughed.
He spoke in a relaxed tone. Zhong Ling should be the one he trusted the most among all the people, and it was highly likely that she would not bring about new troubles.
Seeing Zhong Ling smiling but not saying anything, he felt helpless and shook his head, saying, "Actually, you don't have to rush to send the phone over. It won't be too late to give it to me tomorrow morning."
This senior student is just like that. She is always worried about causing trouble to others.
Guzheng couldn't hear the sound of the bell, so she could only judge the content of their conversation through Han Zhou's words. She felt a little bored, so she secretly poked Han Zhou's arm and felt the other's breath.
The air-conditioning temperature in the room was not low to begin with, and the temperature in the quilt was even higher. Moreover, she was being called and held in his arms. At this moment, her forehead was already slightly sweaty, but she did not feel uncomfortable at all.
Han Zhou usually looks thin, but unexpectedly he is quite strong. Seeing that the other party did not react for a long time, Gu Zheng suddenly plucked up the courage and wanted to press the other party's chest.
If I pretended to be careless, Han Zhou shouldn't have noticed, right?
Gu Zheng's breathing gradually became rapid, and she quietly stretched her arms backwards. However, before she could touch Han Zhou's chest, she suddenly felt a pain in her lower back, and her whole body trembled violently.
What was that hitting me just now?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 379 I really can’t fit any more
Han Zhou took the phone from Zhong Ling, unlocked it, and casually glanced at the information in the notification bar. The latest weather forecast said that the typhoon was moving away from Lincheng, and the rainfall would return to normal before noon tomorrow.
Most of the messages on Fetion were irrelevant group messages, and there were several missed calls, all from Ouyang Lianyu. In order not to affect everyone's viewing experience when he used his mobile phone to cast the movie screen, Han Zhou set his mobile phone to do not disturb, and forgot to cancel it after the movie ended. Therefore, there was no sound from the incoming calls, and Zhong Ling did not see these calls.
Apart from that, there was nothing else worth noting. Lin Anyu did send several messages, saying that he was now with Bai Tongtong and the situation was quite complicated and could not be explained clearly on Fetion. He also asked if there was any way to calm down and reduce desires.
From the words between the lines, we can tell that this guy was so excited and nervous that he even forgot to maintain his persona as an emotional master.
I also need a way to clear my mind...
Han Zhou sighed inwardly. He was now being attacked from the front and back by two soft bodies, and he was still naked. It would be a lie to say that he had no distracting thoughts in his mind, otherwise he should have gone to the mountain to beat the wooden fish long ago.
But he really didn't dare to think too much at this time.
Didn't Lin Anyu say he was going to stay in the dorm to play games? Why was he with Bai Tongtong?
Unfortunately, now is not the time to ask. Han Zhou put away his thoughts, turned off his phone and put it on the bedside. He looked at the girl standing quietly beside the bed and said with a smile: "Okay, senior sister, you should go back to your room and rest. You've made a trip so late at night."
