Forced into a romantic relationship

Two more chapters have been added to Chapter 315?
"Hello, could you please help me check in?"

"Hello, do you have a reservation?"

"Have."

"Okay, please show me your ID card, just a moment... Room 1207, here is your room card, please keep it safe."

"Thank you."

"Um... just a moment, excuse my bluntness, but... are these ladies going to be staying in the same room as you?"

"Yes, but we won't be staying long. Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem... I wish you all a pleasant stay."

The receptionist forced a polite smile, but she really wanted to ask the handsome young man in front of her how long he meant by "not staying long." She glanced discreetly at the time on the computer screen, made a mental note of it, and decided to see how long these people would stay before leaving the hotel.

Subtracting the time spent showering, you should be able to roughly estimate how long this handsome guy can last.

Han Zhou didn't notice the receptionist's strange look. After checking in, he took the three girls into the elevator and pressed the button for the twelfth floor.

He put the room key and ID card into his pocket, looked at Mo Yixia who was standing calmly beside him, and said helplessly, "Why did you use my identity information to book a room?"

"Because I don't want to be looked at with strange eyes," Mo Yixia said honestly. "It doesn't fit my identity as an innocent high school girl."

So you knew that people would look at you strangely because of this...

Han Zhou's lips twitched: "Then why didn't you book two more rooms?"

"To save money."

"You're even considering saving money?"

Han Zhou looked suspicious. As a young lady from a wealthy family, Mo Yixia was not spoiled, but she would never compromise her spending. Choosing to book only one room must mean there was some kind of conspiracy.

"You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household. Knowing how to save money is a skill that every female head of the household should possess."

Mo Yixia glanced at him and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Perhaps you haven't figured out how to be a good husband yet, but I'm already learning how to be a good wife."

The words were not spoken in a deliberately low voice, so they clearly reached Zhong Ling and Wang Lengqiu's ears.

The former's eyes widened immediately, and he subconsciously tugged hard at the small cloth bag at his waist, his gaze lingering on Han Zhou and Mo Yixia in surprise.
The latter, who had been absent-minded, turned his gaze towards this, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Han Zhou coughed violently twice to cover his embarrassment, and whispered a reminder: "The law stipulates that the minimum marriage age for women is twenty. You're bringing this up too early."

There are still almost three years left...

Although he said that, perhaps because Mo Yixia's tone and eyes were too serious, he actually subconsciously thought about the days after he married Mo Yixia.

But besides Mo Yixia, another figure flashed through his mind.

"The law also stipulates that only monogamy is allowed in China, otherwise it is a crime."

Mo Yixia suddenly spoke, giving him a half-smile, but this time she was careful to lower her voice.

"What about going abroad?" Han Zhou asked shamelessly.

Mo Yixia rested her chin on her hand, seemingly seriously considering this possibility. After thinking for a moment, she said, "If you could find a country that supports polygamy..."

"So you'd be willing to settle down with me there?"

"Then I'll find a way to get involved in politics and strive to become the head of state before I turn thirty, so that I can condemn it in the name of a UN member."

Han Zhou was taken aback. Seeing that Mo Yixia didn't seem to be joking, he asked strangely, "You went through so much trouble to become the head of state just to condemn a country that practices polygamy?"

"Otherwise, what are we supposed to do but overthrow it?"

Mo Yixia said calmly, "Every country has its own unique 'ecosystem,' and so do people. If they insist on their own way, I, as an outsider, have no right to interfere."

"That's really a thankless and arduous task..."

"I'm not the only one who does things that are thankless and difficult; don't you do them too?"

Han Zhou paused, then asked, "Which matter are you referring to?"

"A lot of things."

Mo Yixia did not give a specific answer because the elevator doors had just opened.

A cold wind swept in from the stairwell, and Wang Lengqiu trembled slightly.

The group stepped out of the elevator, arrived at room 1207, opened the door, and went inside.

Mo Yixia certainly wouldn't skimp on her spending. Even a short-stay room was quite luxurious, seemingly the highest standard. The room was not only large, but also had a table and sofa, which clearly wasn't cheap.

The moment Han Zhou closed the door, he seemed to see a familiar figure outside, but it disappeared as soon as he opened the door.

"What's wrong?" Mo Yixia asked.

"It's nothing, I must have misread it."

Han Zhou shook his head and closed the door again. Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, he said, "You guys go take a shower first. There's a dryer on the table. See if you can use it. If you can, it's best to dry your wet clothes before wearing them. I'm going out for a bit and will be right back."

"What to do?"

Zhong Ling, who had been quiet until now, immediately became nervous.

"She seems to have caught a cold, I'll go buy some fever reducer."

Han Zhou looked at Wang Lengqiu, whose expression was normal. If you only looked at her face, it would be hard to tell that she had a low fever.

Mo Yixia, without any hesitation, reached out and touched Wang Lengqiu's forehead. The latter did not resist and soon heard Mo Yixia say, "It is indeed a bit hot. Go ahead and be careful when you go out."

Zhong Ling hesitated for a moment, then carefully raised her hand and asked, "Can I come along?"

"No need, senior."

Han Zhou shook his head and smiled, "You're soaked too, why don't you stay in the room and rest? Also, let Sister Yin know you're safe. You've just recovered from your cold, you can't afford to get sick again."

Zhong Ling caught a cold because she visited him at night, and it was quite serious. Naturally, he didn't want to see her bedridden again.

After saying that, he took the umbrella and left the room, closing the door behind him.

After taking the elevator to the hotel lobby, Han Zhou first looked around at the entrance, but couldn't find any pharmacy in the misty downpour, so he decided to ask at the front desk.

"Hello."

Hello, how can I help you?

Upon hearing the voice, the receptionist, who was idly playing on her phone, immediately forced a smile. However, when she realized that the person in front of her was the handsome young man who had just come upstairs, her gaze became somewhat strange.

It's only been less than ten minutes since the other person went upstairs... Isn't that a bit too fast?
"Um...excuse me, are you here to check out?"

Han Zhou was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Is this person's memory too bad? I just checked in, how could he be checking out now?"
"Of course not, I wanted to ask if you know where the nearest pharmacy is? I want to go out and buy some medicine."

Buying medicine?

The receptionist's eyes became subtle. Looking at the other person's slightly pale face, she recalled the stunning beauty of the three girls from earlier and her mind conjured up many images. She said excitedly, "There's a pharmacy about a hundred meters to the left after you go out."

Why are you so agitated? Is the pharmacy owner your relative?

Han Zhou, unaware of what was going on, politely expressed his gratitude and then hurriedly left the hotel in the heavy rain.

Seeing him leave, the receptionist could no longer contain her gossip and immediately took out her phone to send a voice message to her best friend: "Xiaorou, let me tell you, a guest just came to our hotel, he's so handsome, he was even wearing sunglasses in this weather, I wonder if he's some celebrity I've never heard of..."

"That's not the most important thing. The important thing is that he brought three very beautiful girls with him, and he only booked one room, one room, you understand! And also, he just went out to buy medicine! He went out to buy medicine in this heavy rain at a time like this... tsk tsk tsk..."

"Cough cough."

The sudden cough startled the receptionist. She thought the handsome man had returned so quickly, and her heart skipped a beat. When she looked up, she realized that it wasn't the handsome man coughing, but two women.

One of them was of average appearance, while the other was very beautiful, with a dignified demeanor and wearing frameless glasses, giving her a very intellectual air. However, her expression seemed slightly unnatural, clearly indicating that she had overheard her conversation with her best friend. The woman of average appearance didn't seem to mind, and said casually, "Hello, could you please get us a room? A double room will do."

The receptionist was overheard by other guests gossiping about the guests behind their backs, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear. However, her good professionalism still allowed her to force a polite smile: "I'm sorry, our hotel is full. The last room we just stayed in was already occupied, so I apologize."

"It's full again..."

The woman wearing glasses looked worried. "Do you know of any other hotels nearby?"

"There are many hotels around here, you can see them as soon as you step out the door. However, due to the sudden heavy rain today, there are quite a few guests seeking shelter from the rain, so there may not be many rooms left in other hotels. It would be best if you two booked in advance on your mobile phones," the receptionist kindly advised.

Lincheng Zoo is one of the more famous tourist attractions in Lincheng, and there are many other interesting attractions nearby. Therefore, it gets very crowded during holidays. There are already many people choosing to stay in hotels, and with today's sudden rainstorm, the hotels are even more crowded with tourists seeking shelter from the rain. It can be said that the hotels are overcrowded. If you don't book a room in advance, you may not be able to find a place to stay at all.

The woman wearing glasses gave a wry smile: "Thanks for reminding us, but our phones are all broken, otherwise we wouldn't be asking around like this."

Another woman sighed, looking distressed, and said, "There's nothing we can do. Xiaomei took the car, and our phones are broken so we can't contact her. If all else fails, we'll just have to find an internet cafe and wait until the rain stops. Sister Lianyu, why are we so unlucky that our phones both fell into the pond at the same time?"

"It's probably because of me..." Ouyang Lianyu smiled apologetically, "You know I've always had bad luck..."

"It has nothing to do with you. In my opinion, it's all the student's fault. If he hadn't kept messaging you, you wouldn't have fallen into the pond while walking, and dragged me in with you..."

"Xin Yue, can you please stop talking?"

Ouyang Lianyu blushed, feeling both guilty and embarrassed, wishing she could disappear into the ground immediately.

The receptionist looked at her strangely. So the two people were soaking wet not because they got caught in the rain, but because they fell into the pond?
She secretly made a note of this and decided to share it with her best friend after get off work.

Just as Ouyang Lianyu and Zhang Xinyue were about to leave, they suddenly heard an uncertain voice behind them.

"Teacher Ouyang?"

Ouyang Lianyu was taken aback. Turning around, she saw Han Zhou, who looked like a drowned rat, put away his umbrella and walk into the hotel entrance.

She was both surprised and delighted, and asked in astonishment, "Han Zhou? What are you doing here?"

"It's all because of this rain."

Han Zhou stood at the door, shook the water off his umbrella, and walked over to ask, "Are you here to take shelter from the rain too?"

"Well, the last room has already been booked, so we'll have to look around somewhere else."

Ouyang Lianyu reminded her, "This hotel is fully booked. Why don't you come with us?"

Han Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "No need, the last room you mentioned should be the one I booked."

He looked at the receptionist, who quickly smiled and nodded, but for some reason, her smile seemed a little nervous.

"You little brat! Not only did you make us sleep on the streets, but you also stole our last room. What's worse, you didn't even tell me! Did you ignore me?" Zhang Xinyue said angrily.

Han Zhou seemed to only then notice her. After a moment of recollection, he asked in surprise, "Sister Manyue? When did you arrive?"

"It's Sister Xinyue! You brat!"

Ignoring Zhang Xinyue's furious outburst, Han Zhou strode over to Ouyang Lianyu's side and asked in confusion, "Teacher Ouyang, what do you mean I caused you to sleep on the streets?"

Ouyang Lianyu blushed, too embarrassed to tell the other person that she had accidentally fallen into the pond and broken her phone. So she said, "It's nothing, but my phone is broken, so I can't book a hotel online. Since you're here, could you help me see if there are any vacant rooms nearby?"

"no problem."

Han Zhou immediately took out his phone and started searching, but after searching on several different platforms several times, he still couldn't find any available hotel rooms nearby; all the hotels were already full.

Zhang Xinyue and Ouyang Lianyu were both with him when he searched, and their expressions were not good when they saw him. The former looked at the heavy rain outside the door and sighed, "Do we really have no choice but to go to an internet cafe?"

With their current appearance, they could leave a puddle of water if they sat down, and even internet cafes might not be willing to clean them up.

Zhang Xinyue sighed, then her eyes lit up. She looked at Han Zhou, who was fiddling with his phone, and tentatively asked, "Little Han Zhou, is your room big? Why don't you let us stay? We'll go in and rest for a while, and leave as soon as the rain stops. What do you think?"

Seeing that Han Zhou remained silent, she immediately put on a pitiful expression and pleaded, "Even if you don't care about me, you should at least think about your teacher, Ms. Ouyang. She's just recovered from a serious illness, and her injuries haven't fully healed yet. She still has to wander around outside in the pouring rain. Right now, her cold is considered mild. What if she gets rheumatism or something in the future..."

"Xin Yue, don't talk nonsense," Ouyang Lianyu said, stopping her.

Zhang Xinyue pretended not to hear, and quietly leaned close to Han Zhou's ear, seductively saying, "Hey little Han Zhou, Sister Lianyu will definitely be taking off her coat later. This is your Teacher Ouyang's wet and sexy look, don't you want to see it? My wet and sexy look isn't out of the question either..."

Han Zhou turned his head to look at her, then looked away with little interest.

What does this kid mean? Is he looking down on my body?

Zhang Xinyue was furious, but she also realized that her accommodation was likely to be in the hands of this despicable boy. So she took several deep breaths, determined to endure the humiliation and continue to reason with him and appeal to his emotions.

"Anyway, we definitely didn't stay for nothing... What do you think?"

"Little Han Zhou? Little Han Zhou?"

"If you keep calling me that, I'll end up getting rheumatism and bone pain outside later." Han Zhou put away his phone and glanced expressionlessly at the incessantly chattering Zhang Xinyue.

Zhang Xinyue was taken aback, but quickly realized what she meant and exclaimed with delight, "You mean you agree?"

"Well, I'm not the only one in the room. I just asked the other people for their opinions, and they all agreed."

Zhang Xinyue frowned: "There are other people?"

"They're all girls, so it's fine."

Han Zhou understood her concerns. The reason this guy was so shameless was not only because he really had nowhere to stay, but also because he knew that he had a close relationship with Teacher Ouyang and that Teacher Ouyang was a decent person. If he knew that there were other men involved, he would definitely have some reservations.

"That's good." Zhang Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ouyang Lianyu excitedly, "Sister Lianyu, how is it?"

She held her head high and puffed out her chest, making a smug expression that seemed to say, "Praise me!"

Since things had come to this, Ouyang Lianyu didn't know what to say. She looked at Han Zhou apologetically and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Then I'll trouble you. We won't bother you for too long."

Han Zhou smiled and led the two toward the elevator, leaving the receptionist speechless.

These are... two more?

Is the medicine this handsome guy bought enough?
She looked around, then took out her phone and quietly sent a voice message to her best friend: "Big news, big news! There's a follow-up to what I just said. Two more women have come to book rooms, and one of them is that handsome guy's teacher..."

Meanwhile, in the elevator, Zhang Xinyue, in a good mood, shared the gossip she had just heard from the front desk with Han Zhou, shaking her head and sighing, "The world is really going to the dogs, people's hearts are no longer what they used to be, tsk tsk tsk, one man and three women, even if they bought medicine, they probably couldn't handle it... What do you think, Sister Lianyu?"

"How would I know about such things..."

Ouyang Lianyu blushed slightly, unsure how to respond.

Zhang Xinyue chuckled, then turned to Han Zhou, asking with interest, "Little Han Zhou, what do you think?"

"I told you not to call me that," Han Zhou said expressionlessly.

"Okay, okay, so what do you think... Mr. Han Zhou?"

Zhang Xinyue deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "Mr. Han Zhou".

"It's hard to say." Han Zhou seemed reluctant to answer the question.

"Why? You boys should understand boys better, right? You don't seem like someone who doesn't know anything."

Zhang Xinyue blinked and pressed for an answer. She was very interested in the student who had flirted with Sister Lianyu, and it was also a way of getting revenge for being criticized about her figure earlier.

Ouyang Lianyu's face turned even redder, but she didn't say anything. She secretly glanced at Han Zhou, seemingly also curious about his next answer.

Han Zhou remained silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed, his face expressionless.

"Is there a possibility..."

He pulled a transparent plastic bag from his pocket, which contained several boxes of cold medicine.

"...Am I the boy you were talking about?"

I don't know if I've caught a cold or just gotten a fever, but my throat hurts terribly and I feel unwell. I've taken medicine and rested for a day, but it hasn't helped. I can only write this one chapter so far. I'll take some medicine and go back to sleep.

Seeing the 315 report that starch sausages are made from chicken bone paste and even dogs won't eat them, I couldn't hold back anymore. I ate one just the day before yesterday, and I don't know if it was from eating that stuff.
