Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 228 Regret
"What could possibly make Chen Long so happy?"

Chen Zheng pointed to Chen Long, who was excitedly gesturing to himself, and a look of disdain appeared on his face, as if to say, "He's really never seen anything like this before."

I can see you're quite happy...

Looking at his smile, which was even harder to suppress than an AK, Han Zhou had a guess: "Could it be a blind date?"

It's most likely related to the girl; he figured that was probably the only thing that could make the two of them so happy.

"That's right." Chen Long chuckled, beaming. "Our temporary class monitor is truly amazing! I'll definitely give her my full support to make her the official class monitor at the next class meeting!"

Han Zhou was amused by his expression: "It's just a social gathering, why are you all so excited about something like this?"

"Han Zhou, you're like a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of an starving man. You know a lot of pretty girls, but we don't even have the chance to meet girls who aren't so pretty. This social event is a rare opportunity, and we must seize it."

Chen Long stood tall and straightened his back, his expression resolute, and said, "I have a feeling that this social event is specifically designed to help me find a partner."

Chen Zheng chuckled, shook his head and sighed, "People tend to talk about what they lack most. As far as I know, guys like you who constantly talk about 'finding a partner' usually end up alone."

"Hehe, you're not wearing anything on your lips, but your mouth is practically stretched to the sky," Chen Long retorted sarcastically.

"you……"

Han Zhou interrupted their bickering, puzzled, "Aren't there plenty of girls in the class, and plenty of pretty ones too? There's no need to make such a big deal out of a social event, is there?"

"You don't understand this."

Chen Long put on a knowing look and said earnestly, "Take my advice, it's best not to date a girl in your class in college. If you break up, you won't be able to find any other girls in the class. After all, you're all classmates, and it always feels weird to be with a classmate's ex. Anyway, I can't accept Hai Ge's ex-girlfriend as my current girlfriend."

Chen Zheng was wiping his glasses when he heard this and immediately became displeased, saying unhappily, "You talk as if you can make my ex-girlfriend fall in love with you."

"Why can't the girl who likes you like me? Besides, I don't even care. My girlfriend is much better than your ex-girlfriend," Chen Long said smugly.

Please don't insult my ex-girlfriend's taste.

"The fact that she's interested in you is enough to show that she has unusual taste. Do I need to insult her?"

"Then I can only say that your girlfriend has even worse taste."

"Hehe, getting impatient."

"You're the one who's anxious!"

"..."

Han Zhou watched the two bicker silently, unsure whether he should tell them the truth that neither of them had girlfriends...

Fortunately, the two quickly realized this, but they seemed to only remember that the other was a one-handed dog, so they couldn't help but cast pitying glances at each other, and then looked away like victors.

From a certain perspective, the two of them are quite in sync.

"That's it anyway."

Chen Long returned to the main topic, continuing to lecture Han Zhou in the manner of a relationship guru, "Unless you really can't find a target, the girls in the class can only be regarded as 'last reserves,' understand?"

Chen Zheng put on his glasses, straightened them, and said, "I agree with this guy's point of view this time. As the saying goes, 'A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow,' that's the point."

Then when you want to eat, you'll find that even the grass near your nest is gone...

Han Zhou thought to himself, then looked at Huo Zhencheng, who was standing silently to the side, and asked in confusion, "Old Huo, forget about the two of them, why are you so happy too?"

He remembered that the other person had a loving girlfriend.

"I'm happy for them," Huo Zhencheng said with a simple smile.

You might be getting excited too soon...

Han Zhou shook his head secretly. It wasn't that he wanted to speak ill of his two roommates, but rather that neither Chen Long nor Chen Zheng were the type to be liked at first sight.

The two are not bad in terms of appearance, but the problem lies in their personalities. The former is too social and his outward appearance is more about being noisy, while the latter is fine with acquaintances, but becomes socially anxious with strangers. These two personalities are unlikely to leave a good first impression and depend more on whether you click with them.

Of course, he wouldn't say such discouraging things. Love is an unpredictable thing. However, he had no interest in the social event, so he didn't participate in the discussion and left after putting his things away.

Lin Anyu was still waiting for him outside.

When Han Zhou found Lin Anyu, the guy was wandering around outside the library. Han Zhou was a little surprised and went over to ask, "You don't mean you want to go into the library, do you?"

"Watch your tone," Lin Anyu said, glancing back at his friend. "What's with this tone that's like you've seen pigs fly?"

"You're wrong. Your desire to get into the library is far more exaggerated than a sow climbing a tree," Han Zhou said mercilessly.

Lin Anyu is quite serious about his studies, but this seriousness usually only manifests in class. He becomes much lazier after class, and the only thing he can patiently finish is his textbook. He has little interest in extracurricular reading materials, and the library is a place he says even dogs wouldn't go.

How could he not be surprised that this guy would be wandering around in a place even dogs wouldn't go?

"I do have moments when I'm really curious, okay?" Lin Anyu defended himself righteously. In fact, he was here to wait for girls. Girls who like to go to the library are generally quiet and thoughtful, and can see the inner beauty that is even more perfect beneath his perfect appearance.

"This is my campus card. You can take it to the library now and satisfy your thirst for knowledge."

"Forget it. They say that when you're well-fed and clothed, you start to indulge in lust. I'm well-fed and clothed now, and I don't lack material things. If I were to satisfy my thirst for knowledge, wouldn't I be going down a path of no return?"

"You always have more twisted logic than anything else." Han Zhou sighed. "Come on, I'll show you around. Come to think of it, I haven't even finished exploring this entire school yet."

"Then you're way too much of a homebody." Lin Anyu said smugly. "I've already explored every single location on campus in just a few days since the start of the semester."

"awesome."

Han Zhou gave him a few perfunctory words and led him toward the teaching building.

Lin Anyu was initially uninterested, but upon hearing that he had the chance to see beautiful women, he immediately changed his tone and solemnly declared that he had long admired the place where top students from Linda University studied and had no reason not to visit.

This guy……

Han Zhou shook his head and chuckled, suddenly wondering if romantic luck really existed in this world.

Although he can be a bit unreliable at times, Lin Anyu is quite an interesting person. He's also good-looking and has a friendly personality, so he should be very popular with girls. I don't know why he's always had such a bad reputation with women.

Hopefully, the chubby baby he got from Yecheng to bless his marriage will bring him some good luck.

If you walk straight along the direction of the teaching building, you will reach the East Gate, which is one of the main entrances to the school. Therefore, many returning students will drag their suitcases from this direction, and you can hear the sound of wheels rolling from afar.

Standing on the steps of the teaching building, a good spot to observe the beautiful girls, Lin Anyu muttered to himself, "The girls at your school are really pretty good. I've always heard people say that girls who are good at studying are ugly, but now it seems like that's complete nonsense."

"Maybe they just don't put that much effort into dressing up," Han Zhou chuckled. "Besides, isn't the guzheng a clear counterexample?"

"That kind of situation with the guzheng must be quite rare..."

"Have you forgotten that Senior Zhong Ling is also from Linda University?"

"Now that you mention it, it seems to be true. That girl named Wang Lengqiu is also very pretty..."

At this point, Lin Anyu suddenly looked indignant and gritted his teeth, saying, "Speaking of which, your luck with women is a bit too good, isn't it? How come you run into all sorts of pretty girls?"

Han Zhou did not deny it, but sighed and said, "If possible, I would like my luck with women to just disappear from here."

He said this with a very serious tone, but to Lin Anyu it sounded like pure Versailles, especially when he saw a cute and petite girl greeting Han Zhou.

"Han Zhou? What are you standing here for?"

The tone was not very polite, giving people a haughty feeling, but the crisp voice added a lot to it, so as not to be offensive.

Han Zhou, who had his back to the source of the sound, turned around upon hearing it. The first thing he saw was a bulging backpack, and when he looked down, he saw the short Xiao Xiaoxiao. He couldn't help but laugh: "Did you move your whole house here?"

The oversized backpack looked out of place on Xiao Xiaoxiao's body, like a giant tortoise shell, making the girl's already short figure appear even smaller, which was quite comical.

"What do you know!"

Xiao Xiao glared at him with dissatisfaction, then leaned on the large suitcase, panting heavily, "I'll need these things later."

"What is the use?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

I haven't seen him for a week, and while he hasn't grown any taller, his temper has certainly gotten worse...

Han Zhou wasn't annoyed and was about to tease the guy when suddenly someone grabbed his shoulder tightly. Lin Anyu's back teeth were almost ground to powder, and he asked with red eyes, "Tsundere loli... this girl wouldn't happen to be your friend, would she?"

He almost perfectly embodied the words "envy, jealousy, and hatred" on his face.

"Yes, my college classmate, the girl I mentioned to you last time, the one I feel like I've seen somewhere before."

"A classmate? She's actually a college student? A legal loli?!"

Lin Anyu beat his chest in regret, feeling deeply ashamed of his past actions. If he had known earlier that he could see so many beautiful women at Linda University, including even legally recognized lolis, he would have put in 300% effort to study hard back then.

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Xiaoxiao glared at him fiercely. "Don't I look like a college student?"

“Yes, yes, of course you do.” Lin Anyu smiled kindly. “You perfectly embody my image of a contemporary college student.”

"Are you laughing at me?"

Xiao Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. It wasn't like she didn't go online; she knew that the phrase "clear-eyed stupidity" was commonly used online to describe contemporary college students. This guy was clearly saying she was stupid.

“Han Zhou, your friend is really rude,” she said.

Lin Anyu was taken aback. When did I mock you? And when was I impolite?
He suddenly realized that this legal loli wasn't so appealing after all...
