Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 460 Testing
After breakfast, Liang Hongfei asked Zhong Ling many questions about school. After a while of preamble, she finally got to the point, casually asking:

"Young lady, what do you think of Xiao Han?"

Find out exactly what kind of person Yu'er likes, and whether he is worthy of her trust. This is the main purpose of her visit to the university today.

Although she had met Xiao Han once via video call and had a fairly good first impression, this superficial understanding was not enough. Since the girl in front of her was good friends with Xiao Han, she must know something about the boy's character.

What's this junior like...?

Zhong Ling felt that the question was strange. Weren't these two people her junior's elders? Didn't they know what kind of person her junior was? Why would they ask her such a question?

Fortunately, this wasn't a difficult question to answer, nor did it involve any privacy concerns, so she thought about it carefully and typed back, "You're a good person, junior."

nice guy?

Liang Hongfei couldn't help but chuckle. Although she was not young, she was still very familiar with the common language used by young people these days. Could it be that this young girl thought that as Xiao Han's "elder," she wanted to matchmake the two of them and was too embarrassed to refuse directly, so she gave her a "friend card"?
The last big weight in her heart was lifted. The fact that she was being given the "friend card" meant that the girl and Xiao Han were really just ordinary friends. Although they were close, they were still just friends.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This girl was so beautiful and gentle. She was the "mute bride" in the hearts of many boys at Linda University, which showed her charm. Most importantly, she was about the same age as Xiao Han. If she really became Yu'er's rival in love, Yu'er would probably have a hard time gaining an advantage in this relationship.

Fortunately, the other party did not like Xiao Han.

"Could you elaborate?" Liang Hongfei asked with a smile, putting aside her thoughts.

“My junior is a very, very good person,” Zhong Ling replied.

That's great, but you just can't bring yourself to like him, right?
Liang Hongfei chuckled inwardly, thinking that this girl was indeed too naive. She said gently, "Even the best person has flaws. What flaws do you think that child has?"

Zhong Ling shook her head and typed: "No flaws."

In Zhong Ling's opinion, the only flaw of her junior is that he is a womanizer, but this is something that cannot be told to outsiders casually, so the junior has no flaws.

"No flaws at all... It seems that Xiao Han is really outstanding. There must be a lot of girls who like him, right?" Liang Hongfei asked half-jokingly.

Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment, feeling that the way her junior's elder was looking at her was somewhat meaningful, as if it meant something.

Recalling how the other person had asked her if she had someone she liked when they first appeared, and how they had told her not to suppress her feelings and to express them bravely, and just now even directly asked her how she felt about her junior, even though she disliked overthinking, a strange thought couldn't help but arise at this moment—

Could it be that my junior's elders think I like him?
Thinking of this, Zhong Ling's heart trembled, and she felt inexplicably flustered. She hurriedly typed out a line of text denying it.

"I don't like junior students."

She didn't know why her heart was suddenly beating so fast; she just felt that she shouldn't cause trouble for her junior, and if she didn't want to cause him trouble, she should deny liking him.

It should be denied regardless.

Liang Hongfei was taken aback, then said with a wry smile, "I wasn't talking about you. I was just wondering if any other girls like Xiao Han?"

She thought to herself, "This child is so quick to deny it; it seems she really doesn't like Xiao Han."

Zhong Ling was still in a state of tension and panic. Upon hearing this, she nodded subconsciously, lowered her head to hide the panic on her face, and the small cloth bag at her waist was almost deformed from being pulled.

Liang Hongfei immediately thought of the thin girl she had seen in the short video and asked, "Do you know what those girls' names are?"

"You're being too nosy."

Ouyang Wenhao, who was standing beside him, couldn't stand it anymore and scolded in a low voice, "What do you know?"

Liang Hongfei glared at her husband, and seeing that Zhong Ling didn't seem inclined to answer, whether she didn't know or didn't want to, she simply changed the subject, "Do you know if Xiao Han has a girl he likes?"

The girl my junior likes...

Zhong Ling hesitated, unsure whether to answer yes or no, since her junior liked two people. After much deliberation, she finally nodded gently.

Liang Hongfei's eyes lit up, and she pressed on, "Do you know who that girl is?"

Zhong Ling quickly shook her head.

She knew, of course, who the girl her junior liked was, but she obviously couldn't tell anyone, not even his elders.

Unfortunately, she wasn't good at lying; the tension and panic on her face were impossible to hide, as if she was afraid of being discovered.

Liang Hongfei witnessed this scene and pondered to herself. This girl knew who Xiao Han liked but refused to say it. She was probably hesitant because she had something to hide. But they were both college students. It was only natural for them to fall in love. There was no need to hide the fact that they liked someone. Was it necessary to deliberately conceal this?
unless……

This is a relationship that cannot be made public.

For example, teacher-student relationships, which are not easily accepted by the public.

Therefore, the person Xiao Han likes must be Yu'er!
Liang Hongfei felt much more at ease, but she still didn't dare to draw a conclusion easily, so she tentatively asked, "I guess that girl is a student at Lincheng University?"

She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "student".

Zhong Ling didn't respond. After all, she had just said that she didn't know who her junior liked, so it was better not to answer at this time. But she felt it would be impolite, so she typed a reply.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know."

Her expression was quite conflicted, worried about how she would answer if she were asked a similar question again—although Gu Zheng was indeed a student at Lin University, Yi Xia was not.

But this expression took on a different meaning in Liang Hongfei's eyes—

The reason she specifically emphasized the word "student" was to see the girl's reaction. The girl obviously knew who Xiao Han liked, and judging from the conflicted expression on the girl's face, she clearly didn't agree with her "guess".

and so……

Xiao Han's crush is indeed Yu'er, who is also his counselor!
Thinking of this, Liang Hongfei was completely relieved. Putting aside Xiao Han's character for the time being, as long as he and Yu'er were in love, the marriage could basically be settled. Everything else was negotiable. Moreover, based on what she knew so far, Xiao Han had a very good reputation at school, which was undeniable.

She wanted to try asking Zhong Ling again if she knew the thin girl in the short video, but seeing that the other girl's hands were red from the cold from typing, she immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking and handed her the hand warmer that was on her lap.

"I'm sorry, young lady, I'm getting old and I always want to talk to people more. I forgot that it's not very convenient for you to communicate with people. Your hands must be frozen. Here, take this to warm them up."

Zhong Ling wanted to politely decline, but her junior's elder was just too enthusiastic, so she finally had no choice but to accept the hand warmer and typed a reply: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Liang Hongfei smiled gently, as if she could see her daughter's former self. "Speaking of which, this hand warmer was bought for me by my daughter. I haven't seen her for several years. I wonder if that girl has learned to take good care of herself."
