Forced into a relationship
Page 429
Ouyang Lianyu naturally also heard Zhong Yin’s scolding from downstairs. She was curious about what Han Zhou had done when she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her head. She immediately turned around to look at Han Zhou and asked in confusion: “Han Zhou, you…”
“Teacher, you have a white hair on your head.” Han Zhou interrupted her seriously.
“White hair?” Ouyang Lianyu was horrified and frantically pulled the hair behind her to the front to check, “Where is it?”
For a woman under 30 years old, growing white hair is undoubtedly terrible news like a bolt from the blue, and even she is not immune to it.
“Don’t worry, Teacher Ouyang, there is only one, and I have pulled it out for you.” Han Zhou comforted.
Ouyang Lianyu couldn’t be reassured. She stared at his hand for a while and asked in confusion, “But isn’t that black hair on your hand?”
Han Zhou explained: “I have thrown away the white hair, and this black hair was plucked out.”
Ouyang Lianyu had a lot of hair, so she didn’t mind him plucking a few more strands. She was just a little curious: “Why did you pull out an extra black hair?”
Han Zhou smiled faintly: “This is called killing the chicken to scare the monkey.”
The air was quiet for a moment.
Ouyang Lianyu hesitated for a moment: “Han Zhou, has anyone ever told you that your jokes are uncool?”
“Yes, there is more than one.”
Zhong Yin, who was downstairs, answered the question on behalf of Han Zhou, “Teacher Ouyang, don’t listen to this guy’s nonsense. You don’t have any white hair. Come down and have dinner.”
Ouyang Lianyu gave Han Zhou a reproachful look, but the latter pretended not to see it and went downstairs with a wry smile.
Just as Ouyang Lianyu said, everyone woke up. Even Xiao Xiaoxiao, who seemed unusually tired yesterday, had already sat down at the dining table, holding chopsticks and waiting for dinner to start.
Seeing Han Zhou coming, she rolled her eyes from afar: “I’ve been waiting for you. You just got up in the middle of the day. You’re such a lazy bum.”
Han Zhou didn’t take it seriously. He found a seat and sat down while saying, “I heard that you woke up only half an hour earlier than me. If I’m a big lazy bum, then you’re a little lazy bum.”
Gu Zheng beside him glanced at him with dissatisfaction: “Are you talking about me in a roundabout way?”
She also got up at half past eleven.
Across from her, Mo Yixia was blowing the hot porridge in her bowl slowly. She answered without even looking up, “Do you really need to turn around?”
“What qualifications do you have to criticize me?” Gu Zheng said disdainfully, “You didn’t even get up until half past eleven.”
“But I left the room before you.”
“That’s because I need to clean up my room!”
“But I left the room before you.”
“You came out without even cleaning your room, what are you so proud of?”
“There’s really nothing to be proud of.”
Mo Yixia took a sip of porridge and said, “But I did leave the room before you.”
“you……”
“Okay, okay, stop arguing.”
Han Zhou interrupted the two helplessly and said, “You all got up at 11:30, you are all equally diligent, but I didn’t get up until 12 o’clock. I am a lazy bum, okay?”
“There’s no need to say more about this obvious thing.” Mo Yixia said lightly.
“Indeed.” Xiao Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
Ouyang Lianyu smiled and said, “In fact, not everyone wakes up at 11:30. I heard that Xiaoxiao wakes up at 10 o’clock and she usually prepares lunch.”
“You?” Han Zhou looked at Xiao Xiaoxiao in surprise.
“Can’t you?”
The latter puffed out her chest proudly and glared at him in dissatisfaction when she heard what he said.
“It’s not impossible.” Han Zhou shook his head, looking suspicious, “But from what I know about you, you should be the last one to get up.”
“Stop talking nonsense. I always go to bed early and get up early, okay?”
“I remember……”
Han Zhou was about to give an example when Zhong Yin suddenly spoke up: “Since everyone is already gathered together for lunch, don’t worry about going to bed early and getting up early.”
Everyone stopped talking, shut their mouths and concentrated on eating.
The sky outside the window was clear blue and the sun was bright. If there were not dewdrops hanging on the trees and puddles of varying sizes on the ground that were particularly conspicuous, no one would have known that there was a heavy rain last night.
Han Zhou drank the porridge in small sips, but his mind was still thinking about the third scent left on the bed.
His eyes swept over everyone in the room. Except for Ouyang Lianyu who had been cleared of suspicion, the remaining suspects were Wang Lengqiu, Xiao Xiaoxiao, Zhong Yin and Zhong Ling.
The most suspicious among them is Wang Lengqiu.
Because among all the people, only the smell on Wang Lengqiu was something he had never smelled before, which was consistent with the perception that “it smells a bit familiar but can’t be matched.”
Coincidentally, Wang Lengqiu was sitting on his left at this moment, and not far away.
“Do you want to take this opportunity to smell each other’s scent?”
Han Zhou was a little hesitant. He didn’t want to waste too much time confirming this matter, but he was also worried that if something went wrong he would be misunderstood like before.
Just then, an opportunity came quietly.
Maybe it was because he was too distracted, but Wang Lengqiu accidentally dropped the chopsticks next to him, and he had no intention of bending down to pick them up.
The chopsticks fell right beside her legs.
As long as you take the opportunity to get closer to the other person while helping to pick up the chopsticks, I think you will be able to clearly smell the scent on the other person.
