Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 14 Lin Anyu's Intentions
Around 5:30 p.m., the sunlight was still glaring as Han Zhou walked out of the gate of Huadu Residential Area.

Although there were some minor setbacks, he managed to complete all four daily tasks for the day. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at his current points.

【Name: Han Zhou】

【Intelligence: 7】

【Charm: 7】

Stamina: 3 (Weak)

[Skills: Efficient learning, culinary expertise, speed reading, practical medical knowledge gained through experience, powerful throwing]

[Current Status: On the verge of death (modified) → On the verge of death: Ten breaths remaining, can survive for one day, will enter a near-death state after twenty-four hours]

[Status bar level: 2, current points remaining: 27]

With his points about to break the 30 mark, Han Zhou was in a great mood, even ignoring the sweltering weather. He suddenly felt a little hopeful, thinking that it would be great if there were more temporary missions in the future.

Just then, he saw a black sedan parked far across the street. Lin Anyu was leaning against the car door, holding a white suit jacket in his hands, his eyes behind his sunglasses scrutinizing the girls coming and going.

Han Zhou paused for a moment, then quickened his pace and walked over. Lin Anyu was indeed waiting for him. He waved and first opened the back door to let him in, then sat down in the back seat himself and slammed the door shut.

With the air conditioning on in the car, Han Zhou felt comfortable and closed his eyes in contentment.

Lin Anyu took off his sunglasses, looked out the car window at a 45-degree angle, and said calmly, "You've arrived."

"Ah."

"You shouldn't have come."

Without saying a word, Han Zhou was about to push open the car door and get out.

Lin Anyu immediately stopped pretending and quickly pulled him back, urging the driver to drive while muttering, "Can't you cooperate with me this once? You should be answering 'But I still came' right now."

Han Zhou ignored that question and asked, "How did you know I was here?"

Lin Anyu said with a smirk, "Just like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, no matter if it's windy or rainy, you'll come to see that super-strong woman Guzheng every day—that's the law of nature."

At this point, he suddenly became curious, "But I didn't expect you two to have such a good relationship. That girl clearly ignored you at school, but she actually agreed to let you into her house. Didn't her parents say anything?"

"I already told you to come and spend more time with Guzheng whenever you have time, and to treat this place like my home."

Lin Anyu was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Do you know why I insisted on finding you today?"

Han Zhou, of course, had no idea; he didn't even know the other party would deliberately wait for him here: "Why?"

"I'm getting married tonight."

"Do not make jokes."

"You were the one who made the joke first."

Han Zhou then realized that Lin Anyu hadn't believed him at all, and said helplessly, "But I was telling the truth..."

"me too."

Lin Anyu grinned, clearly still not believing it.

The driver was a stern-faced middle-aged man who silently drove the steering wheel, seemingly oblivious to their conversation.

Han Zhou didn't want to explain further: "Just tell me, what do you want from me? You should at least let me go home and change my clothes, right?"

He looked out the car window at the road and guessed that the car was probably heading towards the city center.

Lin Anyu smiled without saying a word, bent down and took out a black leather case from under the car seat, and said mysteriously, "Guess what's inside?"

Han Zhou looked at him for two seconds: "Uncle Zhang, could you please turn left up ahead and take me home first..."

"Would it kill you to cooperate with me just once, you little brat!"

Lin Anyu looked annoyed, but had no choice but to open the box. As he opened it, his expression became serious, and he hesitated, saying, "You need to be mentally prepared. After seeing this, you'll have to live a life far removed from normal people..."

Han Zhou was about to speak when his eyes widened in surprise, clearly startled by what was inside the box.

The box contained a dark, black rifle!
Seemingly anticipating his reaction, Lin Anyu said solemnly, "You guessed right. On the surface, I'm just an ordinary rich kid, but in reality, I'm a young soldier king who's involved in the underworld..."

Han Zhou couldn't hold back any longer. He picked up the gun, pressed it against the idiot's forehead, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The next second, the gun flashed with multicolored lights and emitted a continuous 'rat-a-tat-tat' electronic sound effect. "What, even the young soldier king is playing with toy guns?"

"puff!"

Uncle Zhang, who was driving, seemed to suddenly sneeze.

Lin Anyu wasn't embarrassed at being exposed. He reached out and pushed the gun away, saying with some dissatisfaction, "This outfit is brand new, don't get it dirty."

"Uncle Zhang, could you please stop up ahead for a moment..."

"Hey, what's the rush? I'll tell you, okay?"

Lin Anyu gave Han Zhou a disgruntled look and said honestly, "Today is my cousin's birthday, and I'd like you to help celebrate it."

Han Zhou was skeptical and asked warily, "I don't know your cousin. Why would I be invited to celebrate her birthday?"

Lin Anyu hesitated for a moment, seemingly finding it difficult to speak, before finally saying, "Well... she's a little bit of a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)..."

Secondary disease?
Han Zhou pondered for a while and believed it this time, but he still felt there was a question worth noting: "Are you sure it's your cousin and not your biological sister?"

Lin Anyu: "?"

……

After Lin Anyu's explanation, Han Zhou finally understood why this guy insisted on dragging him to help celebrate his birthday.

It turns out that Lin Anyu's cousin is a super enthusiastic anime fan. She loves watching action-packed anime and then tries to imitate them. She dreams of one day awakening superpowers.

Recently, she has become obsessed with a thrilling action anime about espionage, and has since become convinced that the human body is strong enough to surpass the gods. She also really likes the cool agents in the anime who wear suits and carry guns.

My cousin is still a child at heart, which is one thing, but Lin Anyu's uncle and aunt are doting fathers to their daughter. They plan to fulfill her wish on her birthday by organizing a spy show for her.

In reality, there is no need for combat, so it is obvious that the first requirement for an agent responsible for the performance is to be handsome.

However, this birthday celebration was just a family gathering. The so-called spy performance was more of an entertainment program. My uncle's family naturally wouldn't go to great lengths to hire handsome models, so they just wanted to ask friends to help out.

Lin Anyu's father and his uncle had been inseparable since childhood, and upon hearing the news, he readily accepted the task without hesitation.

However, he forgot about it after only two days, and only remembered it the day before yesterday. He quickly passed the task to his son, thinking that if he couldn't finish it, the kid would take the blame.

However, this was not a difficult task for Lin Anyu. He had a wide social circle and knew many young people. As soon as he made the offer, many people expressed their willingness to help.

But his cousin was not satisfied at all, feeling that these people did not fit the image of a secret agent.

To put it bluntly, he's just not handsome enough.

At the time, Lin Anyu asked with a smile, "Is my cousin handsome enough?" However, he soon realized what it meant to humiliate himself and received the comment, "Too ugly."

To be honest, he's not bad-looking. He's not exactly a dashing gentleman, but he definitely deserves the title of a roguish and charming rogue.

Seeing that even someone as handsome as himself couldn't satisfy his cousin, Lin Anyu had no choice but to contact Han Zhou, who was slightly more handsome than him.

He admitted that, in terms of looks, Han Zhou was the only man who could make him bow down.

After listening to the other party's embellished account, Han Zhou pondered for a moment and asked, "So I have to wear a suit later too?"

"Of course, I picked them out myself."

Lin Anyu understood what he meant and was overjoyed, but also found it hard to believe. "You just agreed like that?"

"This is not a troublesome matter to begin with, and it seems quite important to you, so it won't hurt to help you this once."

Han Zhou said half-jokingly, "But let me make this clear beforehand, I have absolutely no idea what a special agent is like, so please don't expect me to do anything like scaling walls or anything like that."

"Not at all. My cousin may have a tendency to daydream, but she can still distinguish between reality and fantasy. We're almost there, let's get ready to get off."

Lin Anyu breathed a sigh of relief, "But you were able to accept my cousin's chuunibyou so quickly; everyone else was stunned when they heard it."

Han Zhou smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself, "Aren't you being chuunibyou enough? Even a young soldier king who hangs out with the underworld has come. I guess that cousin is probably in a similar pattern."

Seeing his strange smile, Lin Anyu, who was about to open the car door, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and asked suspiciously, "You're not planning to make a move on my cousin, are you? Just so you know, today is her twelfth birthday, and she'll only be in the first year of junior high when school starts!"

Han Zhou opened his mouth, then suddenly wanted to go home.
