Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 78 Then why were you lying in his arms?
Not only Lin Anyu, but also Lin Youya and Han Zhou were startled by Gu Zheng's words.

Lin Youya was startled and puzzled as to why she was being punished. She felt that Han Zhou's gaze was strange and was afraid that he might attack her at any moment. How could she dare to let him hug her?

Han Zhou was startled because he had similar thoughts to Lin Anyu, and he was also worried about whether he could meet the requirements of the guzheng with his current weak physical strength.

The guzheng is very light, and Lin Youya is not heavy either. If you just carry him for a while, it won't be a problem, but it would be difficult for him to run. Moreover, Lin Youya's living room is very big, and he would probably be exhausted if he ran a lap.

Seeing that Han Zhou remained silent for a long time, and before Gu Zheng could speak, Lin Anyu couldn't stand it any longer. He jumped to Han Zhou's side and slapped him hard, saying seriously, "Han Zhou! A bet is a bet, what are you dawdling for?"

With his back to the guzheng, he frantically winked and made faces at Han Zhou, his face almost twitching.

In fact, Gu Zheng regretted it as soon as she finished saying the punishment. She felt that she hadn't thought things through and was very embarrassed. She just kept pretending to be calm. When she saw that Han Zhou didn't react, she felt inexplicably relieved, but also a little down.

Taking a deep breath, she was about to say that she was joking when she saw Han Zhou suddenly push Lin Anyu away, stride towards her, open his arms, and pick her up without saying a word.

Her body was suddenly suspended in mid-air, and the scorching heat rushed onto the girl's face. She couldn't tell if it was breath or body temperature. Strong arms wrapped around her thighs and lower back. Gu Zheng's eyes widened instantly, and two blushes quickly spread to her cheeks and neck. Her mind went blank, and her consciousness became somewhat blurred.

I don't think I just said I wanted a princess carry, did I?

It was a very hot day, and both of them were dressed very lightly. Gu Zheng could even feel Han Zhou's body temperature and his rapid, powerful heartbeat through his clothes.

She was wearing denim shorts today, and her thigh skin was in direct contact with Han Zhou's arm, gradually producing an electric-like tingling sensation. She was a little flustered and curled up, not daring to move.

Gu Zheng pretended to be calm, but she felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was the first time she had been so close to a boy. She placed her right hand on her left chest and felt her heart pounding uncontrollably.

She never expected that Han Zhou would actually hug her, and in such a princess carry no less.

But gradually she stopped feeling embarrassed.

If I'm not mistaken, Han Zhou's heart was beating faster than hers, clearly indicating that he was more nervous than she was.

What? This guy is even more shy than me, he's such a coward...

Perhaps feeling she had defeated her opponent once again, Guzheng completely relaxed, tucked her slightly disheveled hair behind her ear, gazed at the other's face so close to hers, and smiled mischievously, "Am I heavy?"

"Heavy."

She punched Han Zhou.

“Not heavy.” Han Zhou reorganized his words.

"That's more like it. Remember to carry Ya Ya too, we'll have to run later, not walk slowly."

Gu Zheng didn't dare to look Han Zhou in the eye for too long, and looked away, trying her best to maintain the seriousness that a "punishment" should have.

Han Zhou hummed in response, his expression calm and composed, unaware that his pounding heart had already betrayed him.

This was the first time he had ever held a girl like this. His feelings were probably similar to those of Guzheng. His biggest impression was that the girl in his arms was so fragrant and soft. His emotions at that moment were so complicated that they were hard to describe. He was shy, of course, but that was definitely not all of it.

He wasn't hesitating just now, but rather adjusting his state. He was currently in a "dying" state, so picking up the guzheng was effortless.

This isn't a waste of points. He plans to buy a status temporary fixer tomorrow if there are no problems, and fix the "on the verge of death" status directly. The remaining points should be enough to deal with any emergencies.

Lin Anyu clicked his tongue in amazement, a strange smile on his face. He even considered secretly taking a picture of the scene, but when he thought about how he had just confessed to someone in the group chat and might be rejected in front of the whole class, he couldn't smile anymore.

Lin Youya's eyes lit up. She felt that Brother Han Zhou and Sister Guzheng were like the male and female protagonists in an anime, and they were even in love with each other. How amazing!

Soon, the male protagonist carried the female protagonist to her and asked softly, "Ya Ya, may I hold you?"

Although she is still a child, Lin Youya is already considered a young girl, and you still need to ask for her permission to hug her.

Lin Youya hesitated for a moment, feeling a little uneasy, but Han Zhou's smile was warm and he didn't seem like he would hit her, so she carefully opened her arms and made a hugging gesture.

Han Zhou wanted to pick her up, but suddenly realized that he didn't have enough hands. He planned to change his posture and hold her with one hand each. Gu Zheng seemed to have seen through his intention. She punched him without making a sound, then turned her head away from him and lay in his arms without moving. She was obviously unhappy.

Han Zhou had a headache. He couldn't grow another hand. After thinking for a moment, he said to Lin Youya, "Yaya, why don't you climb onto my back? I can't hug you right now."

Lin Youya's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a moment, she tentatively asked, "Can I sit on your shoulders?"

She doesn't like being carried; instead, she wants to sit on someone's shoulders because that way she can see very high and far.

Actually, she had thought about having an owl take her to play like this a long time ago, but the owl was too stupid. Every time she saw his grumpy face, she would get angry, and the stupid guy would never take the initiative to offer to play with her, so she gradually forgot about it.

Lin Youya comforted herself, saying that she was still a child and hadn't even started junior high yet. It was just an experience, and it wasn't childish to talk about it.

Han Zhou thought for a moment. Lin Youya was quite small and should be able to sit on his shoulders. Seeing that Lin Anyu had no objection, he nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to hold me tight and be careful."

He put down the guzheng and squatted down. This time, the guzheng didn't cause any trouble and obediently got off his lap, even helping Lin Youya to maintain her sitting posture.

"Make sure you sit tight," Han Zhou reminded him again.

Lin Youya climbed onto his shoulder, carefully grabbing his ears to steady herself, but then realized that wasn't a good idea and started holding his head instead, her little face showing some tension.

As Han Zhou slowly stood up, she felt the ground getting farther and farther away, and her heart started racing. But her fear quickly turned into excitement. She cheered up and felt like she had suddenly grown taller, and she could indeed see much higher and farther.

After confirming that Lin Youya was seated securely, Han Zhou picked up the guzheng again, reminded her to sit still once more, and then started jogging around the living room. Lin Youya hugged his head tightly, repeatedly shouting "Go! Go! Go!", looking extremely happy.

Seeing this, Lin Anyu smiled sincerely, but soon felt a pang of jealousy and anger, thinking to himself, "Why won't this girl play with me? I could run around with her like this too..."

Han Zhou's physical strength is now astonishing; supporting the weight of two girls is no problem at all, and even adding one more wouldn't be an issue. He was in a good mood, but he felt that Gu Zheng's gaze towards him was a little strange, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"nothing."

Gu Zheng shook her head, closed her eyes to hide the panic and shyness in them.

Lin Youya was incredibly excited; this was really fun. However, she calmed down quickly, secretly glanced at Han Zhou's expression for a while, and hesitantly asked, "Brother Han Zhou, aren't you angry with me?"

"Why should I blame you?" Han Zhou asked, puzzled.

"I said some bad things before, which made Sister Guzheng angry and that's why you got beaten up like this..."

Lin Youya's voice grew softer and softer. She wanted to touch Han Zhou's eyes but was afraid of hurting him, so she asked cautiously, "Does it hurt?"

Han Zhou was taken aback. He exchanged a glance with Gu Zheng and quickly understood what Lin Youya meant. This girl actually thought that Gu Zheng had just injured his eyes and that she was responsible for the result. No wonder she had been afraid to look him in the eye before.

Han Zhou chuckled and was about to explain when Gu Zheng interrupted him, smiling with her eyes crinkled, "That's right, I'm the one who hit Han Zhou's eye. He's a bad guy. If he makes me angry, I'll beat him up and never forgive him. But I have a bad temper, so you can't learn that from me."

"Never forgive?" Lin Youya was somewhat confused.

"Never forgive me," Gu Zheng repeated.

Lin Youya was even more confused: "Then why are you lying in Han Zhou's arms now?"

Gu Zheng blushed instantly, not knowing what to say, and could only punch Han Zhou, who had burst out laughing.

……

After the punishment ended, the group played a few more rounds of games. Seeing that it was almost time, Han Zhou went to the kitchen to prepare a meal. Gu Zheng volunteered to help, leaving Lin Anyu, who had also planned to help, to stay and keep Lin Youya company.

The living room became quiet and deserted.

Seeing Lin Anyu looking sullen, Lin Youya, who was teasing the mighty general, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Owl, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just realized that I'm not needed anywhere, and I suddenly feel a little sad." Lin Anyu glanced at her and sighed, "Mainly, I feel like my silly little sister is about to be taken away by someone, and the thought of that makes me even sadder."

"You're the stupid one."

Lin Youya pouted, but this time she didn't correct "younger sister" to "cousin".

She didn't care much and continued to tease the mighty general, but then she noticed that Lin Anyu had been silent ever since, and was no longer smiling foolishly at his phone like he usually was. It seemed that what he had just said wasn't a joke, but that he was genuinely sad.

Lin Youya frowned.

She was a little unhappy, put down the majestic general, walked over and kicked Lin Anyu with an air of arrogance.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Anyu looked up somewhat dejectedly and pinched her cheek in retaliation.

"Don't pinch my cheeks!"

Lin Youya quickly broke free from his clutches, not forgetting to throw a few wild punches at him before taking a few steps back and reluctantly opening her arms.

Lin Anyu didn't react for a moment, and hesitated before asking, "Why are your arms so long when they're so short?"

"so stupid!"

Lin Youya was furious and kicked him again. "Squat down, I want to play like I did before!"

Just like that?

Lin Anyu was taken aback, then suddenly realized something, and was overjoyed. He quickly squatted down, pretended to pat the dust off his shoulders, and said respectfully, "Please sit down, Miss."

Its fawning manner was just like that of a lapdog wagging its tail.

Lin Youya slowly sat on his shoulders, hugged his head, and gently tapped it with her little fist.

"Then you are a little slave."

“Miss is right, but could you please let go of my hands and stop covering my eyes? I can’t walk like this,” Lin Anyu said cheerfully.

So stupid.

Lin Youya refused to let go.

If she doesn't cover her eyes, what if her current expression is seen and this guy realizes that she really wants to play with him?
