Forced into a romantic relationship

Chapter 98 True Telepathy
Zhong Ling drove all the way to the small square in front of her house, turned around and parked the car so that Han Zhou and the others could drive it out later.

This wasn't Lin Anyu's first time here. He glanced casually out the car window and then closed his eyes to doze off. Xiao Yuyan, on the other hand, was very interested in Zhong Ling's residence. She kept looking around and occasionally exclaimed in surprise, wondering what strange things she could see in such a place.

Han Zhou shook his head inwardly. When he first saw Lin Anyu, his cousin, he thought she was a quiet girl, but now it was clear that this was not the case. It was hard to imagine that she was a senior dance student who was about to graduate...

He sent a message to Zhong Yin when everyone was about to arrive. Although there was no reply, it was clear that he couldn't be indifferent to his sister's affairs. Sure enough, as soon as the two got out of the car, they saw Zhong Yin standing at the alley entrance, waiting and fiddling with his phone.

He was still wearing that baggy work uniform stained with oil, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and a few beads of sweat hung on his forehead, so he had probably been waiting there for some time.

To Han Zhou's surprise, Zhong Yin's belly was sticking out high. At first glance, he thought she was pregnant. But when he got closer, he found that there was a large pocket in the abdomen area of ​​her work clothes, which obviously contained something.

Han Zhou and Zhong Ling carried large and small bags together and walked towards the alley entrance. Lin Anyu and Xiao Yuyan waited in the car. The latter actually wanted to get out of the car to see Zhong Ling off, but after hearing Han Zhou vaguely mention that the other party had a fierce-looking older sister, she had to give up the idea.

It wasn't that Han Zhou intentionally wanted to speak ill of Zhong Yin. After getting to know her, he actually didn't have any ill feelings towards this eldest sister who single-handedly supported the family. On the contrary, he admired her. This was actually Zhong Yin's own request. In her words, knowing Han Zhou alone was already troublesome enough, and she would never associate with his cronies again.

Han Zhou was somewhat helpless. He admired the guy, but his awkward personality made him hard to like.

Zhong Yin clearly noticed the vehicle approaching from a distance and saw Han Zhou and Zhong Ling getting out of the car, so she put away her phone and walked towards the two of them.

"elder sister!"

It has to be said that the two sisters have a really good relationship. As soon as they met, Zhong Ling excitedly rushed into Zhong Yin's arms, as if they had been separated for a long time, and hugged each other tightly.

Zhong Yin seemed to be used to this, gently patting her sister's back and saying helplessly, "Don't do that, I'm dirty, and it's too hot to hug each other."

Although she said that, there was no blame in her tone, only gentleness and doting. Come to think of it, for a sister-obsessed person like Zhong Yin, what could be happier than holding her younger sister?
However, she did feel very dirty and suddenly regretted not changing her clothes before coming out.

"It's not dirty, I'll take a shower and change clothes when I get back anyway."

Zhong Ling didn't mind at all. She smiled and wiped the sweat from Zhong Yin's forehead, then leaned close to his ear.

She wanted to ask her sister if her work was hard today, but when she saw the hearing aid in the other woman's ear, her smile froze and her eyes quickly dimmed.

Because she had her back to Han Zhou, he didn't notice it. Seeing how close the two sisters were, a warm smile appeared on his face.

Zhong Yin also failed to notice her sister's unusual behavior. Looking at Han Zhou across from her, she felt a surge of anger and said coldly, "Why did you get off the bus too? Hurry up and leave, or I won't keep you for dinner."

If Han Zhou and Zhong Ling were destined to be together, then his relationship with Zhong Yin was simply a matter of bad luck. He was used to this woman's eccentricities and replied with a smile, "I'll help you get the things and leave right away."

Zhong Yin had noticed the bag in his hand long ago and asked, "What are these?"

"It's mostly fruits and desserts, as well as drinks and rice wine."

"so much?"

Zhong Yin was stunned. She remembered that she had asked Han Zhou to help buy some sweets that her younger sister liked, but she didn't expect to buy so many... It must have cost a lot of money, right?
"These were bought by my senior."

Han Zhou seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and explained with a smile, "You should have heard that we just won a prize, so you went to buy some of your favorite food."

"is it?"

Zhong Yin's expression softened slightly. "That's good."

My younger sister has always been very frugal. At home, she's not picky about food and doesn't waste any, but when she's out, she's always reluctant to spend money. Today, however, she's surprisingly buying herself something she likes. This change is probably largely thanks to Han Zhou. That kid isn't so useless after all...

However, she was wrong. This had nothing to do with Han Zhou. Zhong Ling bought these things not because she wanted to eat them herself, but because she thought Han Zhou wanted to eat them.

The two sisters share a love for sweets, but they seem to have forgotten that and only remember each other's preferences.

To be honest, when Han Zhou heard Zhong Ling say that Zhong Yin loved sweets and planned to buy more to take back for her, his feelings were quite complicated. The two sisters said the exact same thing about each other. They both thought the other was too frugal, reluctant to buy things they liked, and too hard on themselves. Little did they know that they were actually the same.

Han Zhou felt both amused and exasperated by this, but he was also deeply moved. Such kinship would be enviable in any world or era, and it was a beautiful thing that was hard to come by.

Compared to luck-based games of choosing words and matching pictures, this kind of heartfelt connection, woven from intense emotions, is clearly the true meaning of mutual understanding.

Looking at Han Zhou, who had a smile on his face, Zhong Yin frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

She didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable whenever she saw this guy, and she felt even more uncomfortable after learning that her sister thought she had a connection with him.

"I suddenly remembered something happy."

Han Zhou's smile remained unchanged, and he subconsciously threw out an old joke from his past life, but unfortunately the other party couldn't catch it.

Zhong Yin glared at him, pulled away from Zhong Meimei who was clinging to her, and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, stop hugging me, this guy is going to make a fool of himself."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling released her sister, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then looked at Han Zhou, lowering her head and smiling shyly.

That's not what I'm laughing at...

Han Zhou muttered to himself, but didn't explain further. Instead, he looked at Zhong Yin's protruding belly and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yin, I was just about to ask, what's in the pocket on your stomach? It's bulging. When I saw it, I thought you..."

"Why?"

Zhong Yin tidied her hair slightly and looked at him with an unfriendly expression.

"No, it's not what I thought, it's what my friend said." Han Zhou shook his head and said cautiously, "He said you look like you're pregnant..."

"Your friend?" Zhong Yin sneered. "You're the one who should be thinking that, aren't you? Why don't you try guessing what's in my pocket?"

Han Zhou glanced down and saw that Zhong Yin's pockets were quite bulging, most likely filled with wrenches. He remembered what the other man had said earlier: this time was alright, but if it were any later, there might be homeless people or something nearby, so he was carrying wrenches for self-defense.

However, he wisely refrained from answering, lest the woman actually pull out a wrench to verify.

Seeing that her sister didn't believe her, Zhong Ling quickly shook her head, indicating that she could testify that the words were not spoken by Han Zhou, but by someone else.

These words were actually spoken by Xiao Yuyan, but it can't be blamed on her; Zhong Yin's belly was just too big, and from a distance, she looked too much like a pregnant woman with a large belly.

She was puzzled as to why this pregnant woman wasn't staying at home, worried that she might need help, and even asked Zhong Ling if she knew this person, which almost made Han Zhou burst out laughing.

Perhaps because there were few residents nearby, Zhong Yin didn't seem to care much about her appearance and went out so quickly. If Han Zhou didn't know that it was impossible for a person to get so pregnant in just a few days, he probably would have had similar suspicions.

Seeing that her sister had already testified for the boy, Zhong Yin didn't say anything more. She looked coldly at Han Zhou, patted her stomach, and asked, "Then guess what's in here?"

"Just guess?" Han Zhou asked.

"It's better not to be too casual."

Zhong Yin shoved his hand into his pocket, warning him not to say anything inappropriate.

Han Zhou had no intention of joking around. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked, "This should be a gift for me, right?" Just then, Lin Anyu in the car suddenly woke up and groggily glanced out the window, just in time to see this scene.

Although he couldn't see clearly from a distance, he could still vaguely make out the figures of Han Zhou and Zhong Ling, as well as a pregnant woman who looked like she was wearing a maternity dress.

How could there be a pregnant woman?

He was startled and quickly took out a pair of binoculars from under his seat.

I don't know why he would leave such a thing in his car...

With a slight adjustment of the focus, Lin Anyu could clearly see the pregnant woman's appearance. She was a stunningly beautiful woman who bore a striking resemblance to Zhong Ling, and was probably Zhong Ling's older sister.

Under his gaze, the pregnant woman suddenly patted her belly, looked at Han Zhou with a cold smile, as if questioning him about something.

Han Zhou, however, hesitated and stammered before finally uttering a sentence with a guilty conscience.

At this crucial moment, Lin Anyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and felt as if he understood what Han Zhou was saying—

"This must be a gift for me, right?"

hiss--

Gift?

He was shocked. What did that mean? The baby in the pregnant woman's belly was a gift for Han Zhou?
Could it be that this child is Han Zhou's?
Lin Anyu pondered deeply, but soon came to his senses.

Wait a minute, I don't understand lip reading, how could I possibly know what Han Zhou is saying?
It's impossible for the two of us to be telepathic, right?
What a joke!
He thought to himself that it was impossible; he must have been half asleep and misread it, or he wasn't fully awake yet. Damn it, he stayed up until four in the morning last night. He hadn't felt anything before, but as soon as he had some free time, he got sleepy and just couldn't stay awake any longer...

He yawned, put down the binoculars, and went back to sleep.

Hearing Han Zhou's words, Zhong Yin frowned and said with a sneer, "You really have a thick skin."

"That's a very reasonable guess, okay?" Han Zhou said seriously.

Zhong Ling asked curiously, "So how did you make that deduction?"

Han Zhou laughed and said, "Senior, look, we can now be sure that Sister Yin has something in her pocket. Regardless of what it is, she is obviously not planning to go out while wearing this work uniform, so these things cannot be for anyone else."

Zhong Ling nodded.

"If Sister Yin intended to give this to you, then there was no need to bring it here. You could have given it to you at home. Since this thing is neither for you nor for anyone else, and you insisted on bringing it out like this, it's obvious that you intended to give it to me."

Han Zhou thought about it more and more and felt that this was the case, and he wished he could put a pipe in his mouth—

Eliminate all the impossible, and what remains, however improbable, is the truth!
Zhong Yin refused to admit it, narrowing her eyes and saying, "What makes you think I'm going to give you something?"

Han Zhou had guessed this as well: "Because you feel bad that I helped you today and you feel bad if you don't give me something in return, even though I didn't really help you much..."

He was referring to Zhong Yin asking him to buy sweets for Zhong Ling, but Zhong Ling had already bought the sweets herself, so he naturally didn't need to do it.

However, Zhong Yin was unaware of this beforehand, and given the other party's habit of always settling accounts of favors, it was quite normal for them to give him something in return.

Zhong Ling felt that Han Zhou's words made sense, but she was also a little confused. She didn't know what kind of help her junior had given her. Did he mean taking her to buy a cell phone?

Zhong Yin was stunned for two seconds. She didn't expect Han Zhou to understand her thoughts so well.

She stopped denying it and reluctantly took a bag out of her stomach pocket. Inside the bag was a package wrapped in oil paper. It was unclear what it contained, but it looked like it was probably food.

"What is this?" Han Zhou asked.

“Something edible.” Zhong Yin tossed the bag to him.

"It's really for me?"

Han Zhou quickly took the bag. It was heavy, and if it contained food, the portion would definitely be generous. Could it be that this guy hasn't forgotten his gluttonous persona?

As he guessed what was wrapped in the oil paper, he asked suspiciously, "Why didn't you just give it to me directly? Why hide it like this?"

Of course, Zhong Yin wouldn't tell this guy that it was because she hadn't decided whether or not to give the item to him. Hearing this, she said impatiently, "If you don't want it, give it back to me."

"Yes, of course I want it. Thank you, Sister Yin."

Han Zhou smiled. The oil paper was wrapped very tightly, and it looked like there was more than one layer. He probably thought it was because he was worried that the pockets of his work clothes might not be clean and would get the contents dirty.

He asked, "Do you need my help to take these things to your house?"

"No need." Zhong Yin took the bag from his hand, thought for a moment, and then coldly reminded him, "It's getting late, and there are no streetlights here at night. You should go back too."

"It's still a long way from dark."

Han Zhou smiled casually, turned around and said, "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be going. Goodbye."

"Junior."

Zhong Yin didn't speak, but Zhong Ling suddenly called out to him.

"What's wrong, senior?" Han Zhou turned around and looked at her.

Zhong Ling tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ear and gave him a gentle smile.

"Thank you, I have a very happy day."

"Me too."

Han Zhou smiled. Who wouldn't be happy to have earned 5,200 yuan and a mobile phone for free? He picked up the bag and walked towards the car.

At the same time, Lin Anyu woke up again in the car. He had just had a dream in which many pregnant women chased after Han Zhou. Han Zhou had no choice but to flee to his own home for refuge, but was dragged away by the group of pregnant women...

He groggily opened his eyes and instinctively picked up the binoculars, only to be surprised to find that the pregnant woman's belly had suddenly deflated.

what's the situation?
But judging from this, this woman's breasts really are huge...

No, no! The key question is, why did this woman's belly suddenly shrink?
Lin Anyu shook his head repeatedly, then suddenly felt as if struck by lightning, his expression turning to terror. He felt he had guessed the truth—

Did Han Zhou abort the child while I was still asleep?
