Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 141 Six Famous Figures
"Hello everyone, I am Ouyang Lianyu, your counselor in the School of Science and Management, and also your advanced mathematics teacher."

On the stage, Ouyang Lianyu, who was in a wheelchair, was introducing herself. There was a tablet computer on her lap, and she wrote the four characters "Ouyang Lianyu" on it with a stylus. A line of elegant text immediately appeared on the electronic whiteboard.

She has difficulty moving around and can hardly write freely on the blackboard, so she can only choose this method to teach everyone.

"I believe many of you have heard of my name, but this is the first time I'm meeting you all. So, I won't start the lesson in the first class. Let's chat casually. Now, let's take attendance."

"Tang Wenshuang".

"arrive."

"lei."

"To!"

"Chen Long".

"To!"

"..."

"Han Zhou".

"arrive."

After taking attendance, Ouyang Lianyu saw that no one was absent and smiled with satisfaction: "Very good. I want to emphasize here that I will take attendance every time I start class, so it's best if you don't have any thoughts of skipping class. If you need to ask for leave, please tell me in advance, understand?"

Han Zhou always felt that she seemed to glance at him deliberately when she spoke.

What do you mean? Do I look like someone who would skip class?
"understand!"

Apart from Han Zhou's somewhat listless answer, everyone else in the class was quite excited. After all, Ouyang Lianyu was not only a beautiful woman, but also said to have a particularly good temper, which made her famous throughout the school. Many people had been looking forward to attending her class, so it was probably only Han Zhou who would find it troublesome.

Ouyang Lianyu liked the youthful energy in the young people and chuckled, "As your counselor, I'll start by giving a brief introduction to our major. I believe you all had some understanding of it before choosing your major. In fact, the e-commerce major..."

The students in the audience listened attentively, as it concerned their future job prospects. Although most college students may not be able to find a job that matches their major after entering the workforce, and many even end up with a job that has nothing to do with their major, they, as freshmen, are still very concerned about the relevant situation of their chosen major.

Han Zhou listened attentively. As far as he knew, his previous life's e-commerce major was actually quite average. The course content was haphazard and not in-depth. He learned a little bit of everything, a major that even a dog would shake its head at.

However, the e-commerce major in this world is still pretty good. At least what you learn is very practical, and even if you don't work in this field in the future, you can still find a good career path.

Moreover, in Han Zhou's view, a university degree is more of a stepping stone, and one's major may not play a decisive role. In the end, it depends on the improvement and application of personal abilities after entering society.

There are better majors out there, but his current situation means he can't fully focus on his studies and needs more free time to do his own things. So it would be better for him to choose a major with a more relaxed curriculum, where he can pay less attention to the less important courses.

That means you can consider skipping class.

Ultimately, however, his biggest advantage is still the status bar. If the status bar is powerful enough to solve even terminal illnesses, then most problems are no longer problems, and choosing a major is not that important to him.

Ouyang Lianyu spoke for five minutes straight, but no one found it boring at all. Some people even asked questions, which she answered one by one.

Chen Long, standing next to Han Zhou, looked on with emotion and said hopefully, "Teacher Ouyang's lecture was really good, but Han Zhou, tell me, how is she going to get downstairs after class? Do you think I still have a chance?"

"I'm not sure, but I think so."

Han Zhou couldn't bear to tell him the truth.

In fact, since Ouyang Lianyu was going to class, she had naturally already thought of corresponding strategies in advance, including how to go up and down the stairs—

Gu Zheng has already taken on the task of escorting her up and down the stairs, and Han Zhou only just found out about it.

Gu Zheng had just finished military training and immediately entered a period of intense competition. Unless she was called by someone, she spent almost all her time in the library except for classes and meals. The library was quite close to the teaching building, so she could quickly come over and help Ouyang Lianyu up and down the stairs.

Han Zhou jokingly asked if he could be carried downstairs, to which Gu Zheng immediately replied that she was dreaming and that she would never carry him unless he could no longer walk.

While she was pondering, Ouyang Lianyu finished explaining the subject and began asking everyone to give a brief self-introduction. This was to allow her to get to know everyone and also to help the students deepen their impressions of each other.

She asked everyone to introduce themselves one by one according to the list, so Han Zhou was the last one.

In fact, Han Zhou didn't need to introduce himself again. His classmates had a deep impression of him, not to mention Ouyang Lianyu, who had been with him just yesterday.

So he stood up and said, "Hello everyone, I am Han Zhou."

After saying that, he plopped down and started thinking about whether he should use up the remaining uses of the mission detector today. He thought that if the temporary mission given by Ouyang Lianyu was still so simple, then he could continue to take advantage of her...

Ouyang Lianyu looked over as if sensing something, and met his strange gaze. Not knowing what he was up to, she immediately looked away and smiled, "Let's chat casually from now on. I was a teacher at Lin University for four years. Feel free to ask me anything you're curious about about the school, or we can talk about it. But please don't ask any overly personal questions."

She knew what these young people were interested in, and if she didn't add the last sentence, they would definitely ask her if she had a boyfriend or something, and she didn't want to answer those kinds of questions.

Soon someone raised their hand and asked, "Teacher Ouyang, I heard that you are one of the six famous people in the school. I find that very interesting. Can you tell us about the deeds of the other five famous people?"

Everyone perked up, thinking that this guy was good at asking questions. They were also quite interested in this topic. Han Zhou also became interested, after all, he really wanted to know what kind of people could be compared with Ouyang Lianyu and Zhong Ling. So he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Five famous figures?"

Ouyang Lianyu thought about it carefully and smiled, "I haven't paid much attention to related matters, but I often hear students discussing them, so I do know some of the rumors."

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, she said, "First up is Zhang Ziwen, the 'Basketball King.' Hearing this nickname, everyone must be thinking that he must be very good at basketball, but that's not the case. Although he is called the 'Basketball King,' he is actually not good at basketball or soccer."

Han Zhou listened with a strange expression. Among all the people he knew in his previous life, there was only one person who was famous for basketball but not for his basketball skills...

Is this guy wearing overalls...?

Some people wondered, "If he's not good at playing ball, why is he called the 'King of the Court'?"

Ouyang Lianyu laughed and said, "Although Zhang Ziwen doesn't play basketball, he sometimes acts as a referee on the court. He's called the Overlord because of this. I don't know the specific reason, but I heard that he's very handsome and looks like a male protagonist who stepped out of an anime."

The girls' eyes lit up at this. Xiao Xiaoxiao, sitting in the front row, rubbed her eyes and asked lazily, "Is he as handsome as Han Zhou?"

She didn't sleep well last night and is still a little sleepy.

Seeing the girl at the same table looking at her in surprise, she forcibly suppressed the urge to yawn and frowned, saying, "What's wrong? Isn't it a fact that Han Zhou is handsome?"

The girl shook her head and didn't say anything. Of course she thought Han Zhou was handsome, but she didn't dare to say it so openly in front of everyone like Xiao Xiaoxiao did. She always felt embarrassed.

"Compared to Han Zhou?" Ouyang Lianyu examined Han Zhou for a while and chuckled, "I don't know. I've never met Zhang Ziwen, so I don't know how handsome he is. If you're interested, you can ask the senior students in their second or third year."

Below the podium, Chen Long patted Han Zhou on the shoulder and whispered to comfort him, "Don't worry about Han Zhou, you're definitely better than that so-called dominant coach on the field."

Han Zhou was both amused and exasperated: "I wasn't worried."

He just didn't expect that talking about six famous people would lead him to himself.

“That makes sense.” Chen Long’s expression softened slightly, and he nodded in deep agreement. “There’s really no need to worry. After all, you’re the only one whose looks surpass mine. What do you mean by ‘basketball king’? You’re just a bunch of chickens and dogs.”

When you're being sarcastic, could you please not put your arm around my shoulder...?

Han Zhou thought to himself, he had witnessed firsthand how lively the basketball court was on the first day of school, and it would be troublesome if he were chased and cursed by some fanatical fans.

Ouyang Lianyu noticed their whispers but didn't pay them any mind. She said, "Next, let's talk about Zhang Tao, who's 'reckless.' That title suits him quite well. Zhang Tao is an extreme sports enthusiast who also likes to explore all sorts of supernatural things and paranormal events. In my opinion, he's a very courageous student, but many people call it courting death. That's where the title 'reckless' comes from. I heard he's also a somewhat famous video blogger. You might have seen his videos before."

"Zhang Tao once applied to the school to establish a paranormal club and an extreme sports club, but both applications were rejected by the school."

At this point, Ouyang Lianyu's expression became more serious. "However, I heard that he hasn't given up and has been looking for like-minded people. I personally support students in developing their own interests and hobbies during their university years, but Zhang Tao's interests are far too dangerous. So I hope you will be careful and not participate in his dangerous activities, unless there are safety guarantees."

Everyone was shocked, not expecting there to be such a formidable person in the school. Chen Long's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice, "Han Zhou, what do you think of the title 'Fearless of Death'?"

Han Zhou saw through his thoughts and said calmly, "Although others are called 'ignorant of death,' they have at least survived until now, which shows that they have real skills. Don't try to imitate them."

"Okay, I was just kidding."

Chen Long shrugged, thinking to himself, "If 'fearless of death' won't work, then 'King of Kung Fu' might be a better option."
"Thank you."

Seeing Tang Wenshuang unscrew the lid and hand her the water glass, Ouyang Lianyu thanked her softly, took the glass and drank a few sips, then shook her head and smiled, "It seems everyone is indeed very interested in this kind of gossip. Well then, I'll continue. I've met the two people I'm about to talk about; they're both very beautiful girls. I think you'll be even more interested."

She handed the water glass to Tang Wenshuang, thanked her again, and the latter smiled, shook her head, took the water glass, and put the lid back on.

“Zhong Ling, the ‘mute bride,’ was a freshman last year. She had excellent grades, was beautiful, and had a good temper. She quickly became the dream girl of many students. However, Zhong Ling had one strange thing: she never spoke, so she was called the ‘mute bride.’”

Someone asked curiously, "Then why doesn't she say anything?"

Ouyang Lianyu shook her head: "I don't know about that."

She glanced at Han Zhou in the audience and thought that he might know, since she had seen the two of them together before, and they seemed to have a good relationship.

However, on another note, that girl named Guzheng also has a close relationship with Han Zhou; this guy seems to have quite a few admirers...

"Teacher Ouyang, who is the next pretty girl to be mentioned?"

Chen Long asked in a loud voice, his excited voice pulling Ouyang Lianyu back to reality.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "She's your senior from the third year, named Wang Lengqiu. Her old nickname was 'Immovable as a Mountain,' but I think that nickname is very impolite, so I prefer her current nickname, 'Princess Who Doesn't Smile.'"

"Teacher Ouyang, why is it impolite to say 'immovable as a mountain'?" Deng Xue asked softly.

"because……"

Ouyang Lianyu hesitated for a moment, "This is because Wang Lengqiu used to be quite fat, and many people made fun of her. In addition, she never smiled, like a frozen snow mountain, which is also called a frozen mountain. Later, the two were combined to become 'immovable as a mountain'."

This was the only title among the six celebrities that carried a sarcastic connotation, so Ouyang Lianyu's voice no longer carried a smile. She had just considered whether to not explain the meaning of this title to everyone, but thinking that they could always hear about it from other places, she decided to say it in advance.

Actually, she was being a bit subtle. "Immovable as a mountain" was just a way of mocking her weight, and it had nothing to do with whether Wang Lengqiu liked to laugh or not. Back then, not liking to laugh was definitely a negative factor, but now that Wang Lengqiu has lost weight and become beautiful, not liking to laugh has become a positive factor.

Han Zhou was stunned. He wondered why his senior hadn't mentioned that Wang Lengqiu's title had been updated. But then he thought it wasn't surprising. After all, Zhong Ling was a homebody who usually stayed in her dorm and was oblivious to what was going on around her. It was normal for her to be behind on information.

It's ironic, really, because from being overweight to becoming beautiful, her title changed from the sarcastic "Immovable as a Mountain" to the praiseworthy "Princess Who Doesn't Smile." Her lack of smiles went from being a negative to a positive. It just goes to show how hypocritical people really are.

In fact, Han Zhou himself was the same. At first, he didn't think much of Liu Qiumin, but as soon as he disliked her, he thought she was like Bo Gang. His attitude towards a person often changes with the situation, which is hard to avoid.

However, it can't be called double standards; there are still some differences. At least, unless provoked, Han Zhou generally won't mock others, even if they are really fat.

Seeing the audience quiet down, Ouyang Lianyu said softly, "I've met Wang Lengqiu before. She's a very quiet girl. I don't recall ever seeing her smile. I think the title 'Princess Who Never Smiles' suits her very well."

"Although I know that no one would think that way, I still want to remind everyone that if you see Wang Lengqiu in the future, please do not make fun of her for what happened in the past. It will be the same in the future. Some shortcomings are unavoidable. Please do not turn your words into sharp knives that hurt people."

"understood."

Seeing that no one spoke, Han Zhou immediately spoke up, raising his hand and saying, "Teacher, tell us about the next celebrity."

"Ah."

Ouyang Lianyu nodded. She didn't want to continue the topic either. Han Zhou must have noticed this, which is why he spoke up. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "I think we've mentioned five people already. Who was the last one?"

Including you, there are five...

“It’s Chen Fei, the ‘influential figure’,” Han Zhou reminded him.

"Oh, Chen Fei..."

Ouyang Lianyu thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I really don't know much about the rumors about Chen Fei. I only know that he is a sophomore. If you are interested, you can ask the senior students or his teachers. They should know."

Just then, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

"Alright, get out of class is over." Ouyang Lianyu smiled. "That's enough chatting. Everyone take a break. Class will officially start next period, so everyone be alert."

After saying that, she pushed her wheelchair to Xiao Xiaoxiao's desk, gently tapped the desk, and the latter shook her head, stood up and looked at her blankly for a while, then bowed in a daze, and her head slammed into the desk with a loud sound.

"Hello teacher."

The crowd roared with laughter.

Is this guy still half asleep?

Ouyang Lianyu, however, was concerned with a different issue.

Is the child's head alright?
