Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 406 Familiar Name

Today's weather was exceptionally sunny, and the temperature was even slightly warmer than yesterday. This stark reality shattered the dreams of those who were still hoping for the typhoon's return.

Han Zhou thought he could face most people's gazes with composure, but when he saw Chen Long, holding a broom, staring at him in disbelief, even he felt a little embarrassed.

"Senior Wang Lengqiu, Xiaoxiao, I know you are all concerned about me, but I only have a wound on my abdomen, it's not like I have difficulty walking. Isn't it a bit of an overreaction to put me in a wheelchair?"

He looked at the wheelchair beneath him, then at Wang Lengqiu and Xiao Xiaoxiao standing behind him like bodyguards, and felt a headache coming on.

Xiao Xiaoxiao said with a stern face, "The doctor said that you should rest in bed and not move around too much in this condition, but you insisted on coming out to watch the guzheng competition. It's already a favor that you were allowed to go out. What's wrong with being in a wheelchair? It's all to help you recover as soon as possible!"

She looked serious, seemingly genuinely concerned for Han Zhou's health, but Han Zhou could vaguely sense that she was trying to suppress a laugh.

He looked suspicious and said, "Why do I have a feeling that you deliberately want me to use a wheelchair? Isn't this the plan you came up with?"

"So what if it was my suggestion? Everyone agreed!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao raised her head and said triumphantly, "Anyway, your guardianship today is in my and Senior Wang Lengqiu's hands. You have to sit obediently in the wheelchair, or I won't allow you to stay outside!"

Han Zhou's lips twitched: "What guardianship? You're making me feel like a child..."

Xiao Xiaoxiao seemed to have been waiting for these words. Upon hearing them, her eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "You're just a child!"

"baffling……"

Han Zhou was somewhat helpless and too lazy to argue with her. After thinking for a moment, he pretended to lean back in his chair and said in a lazy tone, "Since you don't want me to move, then I won't push the wheelchair myself. You'd better be prepared to push my wheelchair for a whole day."

His purpose in saying this was to threaten Xiao Xiaoxiao and make her back down. Unexpectedly, this guy not only didn't find it troublesome, but was also a little excited and said nonchalantly, "Push it if you want, what's the big deal?"

Han Zhou was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Do you have some kind of obsession with seeing me in a wheelchair?"

He always felt that this guy seemed quite happy to be a laborer pushing a wheelchair.

Xiao Xiaoxiao pouted: "A scumbag like you will have his legs broken sooner or later. It's good for you to learn how to live in a wheelchair in advance."

"Hehe, thank you so much."

"If you want to thank someone, thank Teacher Ouyang. She's such a kind person. She was actually willing to lend you this wheelchair. It's just a pity that she has a lot of work to do today, otherwise she could have personally taught you how to use the wheelchair."

"You'd better not let Teacher Ouyang hear what you're saying. It's as if she's always in a wheelchair. That's very disrespectful to her."

"Pah! You're the one who disrespects Teacher Ouyang the most, and you still have the nerve to lecture me..."

"..."

The two bickered as they walked toward the playground, with Wang Lengqiu following silently behind the wheelchair, seemingly lost in thought.

According to the plan discussed by Ouyang Lianyu and others, at least one person should be sent to take care of Han Zhou every day, and today, Wang Lengqiu and Xiao Xiaoxiao, who were relatively free, happened to be in charge of taking care of Han Zhou.

As for the others, they either had their own things to do or their time to take care of Han Zhou was scheduled for later. Ouyang Lianyu usually did not have a "shift" arrangement because she was mainly responsible for taking care of Han Zhou at night.

As a patient, Han Zhou also has to take responsibility for his own health. He should try his best to follow the advice of his caregivers. Otherwise, if any problems arise, he will have to be sent to a hospital ward and stay there obediently.

This is not a notification, but an order issued by the government of Guzheng Moyixia.

As one of the few people who could influence Han Zhou's decision, both of them respected Han Zhou's decision not to have the wound stitched up, but they couldn't really ignore his body, so they strictly forbade him from doing anything that would affect his recovery.

That's why Xiao Xiaoxiao had such a smug look on her face, and Han Zhou could only obediently sit in his wheelchair. After all, regardless of whether she had any other motives, her initial intention was indeed for his health.

In short, these guys weren't joking; they genuinely intended to take care of him like this until he recovered, leaving him unsure whether he should try to recover as soon as possible by "learning from his illness."

It has to be said that being taken care of by so many beautiful girls is a very happy thing, but it is also a very ostentatious thing. From the moment he entered the school gate, Han Zhou found that people were always watching him, as if they were watching some big star, and some even took out their phones to take pictures.

However, he could more or less guess the reason. These people were not necessarily all looking at him. Many people were probably paying attention to Wang Lengqiu. As one of the six famous people of Lin University, the most difficult to approach, the "Princess Who Doesn't Smile," no one had ever seen Wang Lengqiu get so close to any boy before, so they would definitely be curious.

In addition, the wheelchair he was sitting in was also quite eye-catching. After all, it was Ouyang Lianyu's "exclusive vehicle," and many people recognized it, so they would naturally wonder why a boy would be sitting in it.

"You seem to have become a big celebrity."

Xiao Xiaoxiao also noticed the stares coming from all directions and exclaimed in amazement.

"Thanks to you."

Han Zhou sighed. He was certain that if he hadn't gone out in a wheelchair today, he wouldn't have attracted so much attention.

"You're welcome," Xiao Xiaoxiao said smugly.

"Do you think I'm praising you...?"

Han Zhou had a headache when he saw two figures walking towards him from not far away. One of them was Xia Qing, the student council president, and the other was Tang Hai, the student council vice president who was carrying a camera.

Why did I have to run into these two guys at this time...?

Han Zhou was even more troubled. He had dealt with Xia Qing before and knew that this bored student council president was dedicated to digging up all the big news on campus during the sports meet. Now that she saw him sitting in a wheelchair, she would definitely come over to "collect materials" without any surprise.

As expected, upon seeing the three of them, Xia Qing, who was not far away, ran over with her eyes shining like a hungry wolf seeing a rabbit. Han Zhou originally wanted to push the wheelchair away as fast as possible, but it was too late. He could only lower his head and pretend not to see her.

However, he pretended not to see Xia Qing, but Xia Qing naturally couldn't pretend not to see him. She quickly came up to him, and said with surprise and delight, "What a coincidence, Han Zhou! We meet again. But it's only been a few days. What happened to you?"

Xia Qing looked at the wheelchair under Han Zhou, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Since the other party had taken the initiative to greet him, it would be impolite for Han Zhou to pretend he hadn't seen her. So he looked up and smiled, "Good morning, Senior Xia Qing. I'm a little injured, and the doctor doesn't recommend strenuous exercise, so someone forced me to sit in a wheelchair."

Xiao Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, pretending not to hear the guy's sarcastic remarks.

Xia Qing asked, puzzled, "How could you get injured out of nowhere?"

"There was a little accident."

Normally, this topic could end here, since Han Zhou had already shown he didn't want to talk about it anymore. But Xia Qing couldn't suppress her curiosity and continued to press for details. "What accident?"

"Uh, I accidentally fell into the water..."

"Which body of water? Could it be Angel Lake?"

"no……"

"Did he drown? It shouldn't be serious, right?"

Xia Qing was startled. She first asked a few words of concern, then asked in confusion, "But even if you were drowning, you wouldn't need a wheelchair. Did you hurt your leg?"

"Cough cough."

Tang Hai, standing behind them, couldn't stand it any longer and whispered a reminder, "President, you're asking too many questions. Be careful not to scare people away."

Xia Qing then realized what had happened, her face flushed slightly, and she seemed a little embarrassed. She apologized, "I'm sorry, Han Zhou, I was just too curious."

She wouldn't normally be so impolite as to pry into people's lives, but subconsciously she thought of her previous exchange with Han Zhou and assumed he wouldn't mind, so she got a little carried away.

"It's ok."

Han Zhou smiled and said, "I didn't hurt my leg, it's just a little inconvenient to move around."

"That's it..."

Xia Qing resisted the urge to press further and instead asked, "Are you planning to go to the playground?"

She actually wanted to greet Wang Lengqiu, but she was worried that he wouldn't respond, so she had to give up the idea.

"Yes, there's a guzheng competition today."

Han Zhou nodded, then smiled and introduced, "Xiao Xiao, this is Senior Xia Qing and Senior Tang Hai, our school's student council president and vice president. This is Xiao Xiao, my classmate, just call her Xiao Xiao. This is Senior Wang Lengqiu, you know her."

"Hello, senior."

Xiao Xiaoxiao had a bad temper with Han Zhou, but she was quite polite to others. She immediately greeted him politely. Xia Qing and Tang Hai smiled and nodded. The former really wanted to ask Xiao Xiaoxiao if she was a student in the so-called Rocket Youth Class, since she was so young to be in college, but she held back.

"Hello."

The two didn't expect Wang Lengqiu to greet them, but to their surprise, Wang Lengqiu actually said a soft "thank you" and a greeting.

"You... hello."

Xia Qing and Tang Hai were flattered. If they remembered correctly, this seemed to be the first time Wang Lengqiu had taken the initiative to greet them—no! This was the first time they had ever seen Wang Lengqiu greet someone!
The two looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. It's no exaggeration to say that if this got out, it would definitely become a huge news story that would leave all the third-year students at Lin University speechless.

Tang Hai didn't think much of it, assuming that Wang Lengqiu was in a good mood today and that's why she greeted them. But Xia Qing knew more and was certain almost immediately that this matter was definitely related to Han Zhou. If it weren't for his introduction just now, Wang Lengqiu would most likely have ignored them!

It's incredible...

Xia Qing was both surprised and curious. Could it be that the person Wang Lengqiu had been waiting for was really Han Zhou? Otherwise, why would Wang Lengqiu listen to Han Zhou so much?
Have they already come out about how they knew each other in the past?
But if that's the case, what is the relationship between these two now?
Xia Qing had too many questions she wanted to ask, but she knew it wasn't the right time. So she suppressed her curiosity and chatted with Han Zhou about a few unimportant topics before reluctantly leaving at Tang Hai's urging.

"President, you were too out of line just now. How can you start interrogating a stranger like that right away?"

Although Tang Hai was physically imposing, he was actually a gentle and thoughtful person. He smiled wryly and said, "Luckily, that junior had a good temper, otherwise I wouldn't have spoken up for you."

Xia Qing smiled and said, "Han Zhou and I are not strangers."

Tang Hai said helplessly, "Just because we've met once doesn't mean we're not strangers."

"We've met several times already, so even if we're not friends, we can't really be considered strangers, right?"

"Okay, okay, President, whatever you say is right."

Xia Qing was still thinking about Wang Lengqiu when she asked after a while, "By the way, where are we going now?"

"How could you forget even the important matter?" Tang Hai rubbed his forehead with one hand. "We just resumed classes today, and there's a lot of work piling up in the office. We need to go to 'work' now. We can only continue searching for your big news after we've finished dealing with these matters."

"Ugh, I still have to go to work. I suddenly don't want to be the student council president anymore..." Xia Qing complained with a gloomy face.

She didn't really want to fulfill the duties of the student council president; she just wanted to do things that would satisfy her curiosity—like searching for big news everywhere.

"Don't say such discouraging things. There's nothing important during the sports meet. We can just give a quick approval."

"Can you go back and approve it by yourself?"

Tang Hai smiled gently: "Of course not."

"All right……"

Xia Qing was extremely unwilling, but she still followed Tang Hai back to the office.

The job of the student council president is neither simple nor complicated. To give an imperfect analogy, the main function is roughly the same as that of an emperor: subordinates submit decisions, the president is responsible for approving them, if there are no problems, the decision is approved, if there are problems, the president points out the problems, provides some guidance, and then sends it back for revision.

Of course, the student council president has to do much more than that. Many important matters require personal involvement. Since the final decisions of the student council are almost always made by the student council president, the president may not necessarily receive credit for the achievements, but the president will definitely have to take the blame for most of the problems. Therefore, not many people are willing to run for this position, after all, the pressure is too great. If a decision is wrong, one must stand up straight and be scolded by superiors, and sincerely repent to subordinates. If one is not capable enough, it is easy to embarrass oneself.

Therefore, this position is quite good at honing one's abilities. Students who can serve as student council presidents in university can generally find a good job after leaving school. So from this perspective, there are actually quite a few people running for student council president, and they are basically all outstanding individuals. Xia Qing's ability to stand out from these people is enough to prove her capabilities.

Of course, this excludes the influence of family background, but Xia Qing has never publicized her family background at school, so she believes the election is still fair.

Back in her office, Xia Qing quickly reviewed the work reports from various departments of the student union. After a short rest, she began reviewing reports from the department's student union.

She continued moving quickly until she saw a familiar name in a report.
