    Chapter 178: In My Heart, A’yi is the Most Amazing

    The art exhibition started on Sunday. Gu Yusen had been fooling around with Chu Zhaoyi for a week, barely managing to restrain himself and let Chu Zhaoyi rest for one day.

    Chu Zhaoyi slept soundly for the whole day.

    Gu Yusen guiltily guarded him, occasionally bringing him a glass of water or something to eat.

    On Sunday morning, after Chu Zhaoyi woke up, he received a call from Professor Qin: “A’yi, it starts at nine o’clock. I’ve left you some tickets, you can give them to friends or something. Remember to come over when you have time.”

    Professor Qin had been busy these days, and they hadn’t seen each other for a long time!

    Professor Qin: Today is another day of missing my beloved student!

    “Let’s go take a look! There will definitely be a lot of people at the exhibition, and you’ll definitely hear a lot of people praising you!” Gu Yusen was the first to speak.

    Chu Zhaoyi glanced at Gu Yusen lightly and hummed unhappily.

    “Okay, teacher.”

    “Alright, I’m here too. Tell the teacher when you arrive.” Professor Qin said cheerfully. He had been in the limelight recently.

    He went abroad for an exchange, taking his beloved student’s paintings with him, intending to spread his student’s reputation, but he got an unexpected surprise.

    Many fellow old friends were very jealous of him after seeing them, and even tried to poach his student!!!

    Of course, they definitely wouldn’t have that chance.

    “Okay.” Chu Zhaoyi hung up the phone and sent a message to Zhang Haoyu, asking if he wanted to see the exhibition since he had tickets.

    But he is now the dean’s student, he must have tickets, Chu Zhaoyi remembered this after sending the message.

    He just doesn’t have many friends.

    Professor Qin gave him more than a dozen tickets.

    He thought about it and sent a message to Zhang Anru.

    [Chu A’yi]: Mom, do you want to come to my art exhibition?

    She replied instantly.

    [Zhang Anru]: (Photo)

    She sent a selfie. The woman in the picture was clearly well-dressed. Her smooth, long hair was slightly curled, and casually draped over her shoulders, looking both elegant and vibrant. A pair of small pearl earrings adorned her ears, adding a touch of gentle temperament.

    A very grand look.

    She got up early and made an appointment with a stylist!

    [Zhang Anru]: Look, Mom is already dressed beautifully, just waiting for A’yi to invite her~

    [Zhang Anru]: (Photo)

    This photo showed Xie Tingyun and Xie Yuyin. Xie Tingyun was wearing a black suit. The collar of the suit jacket was slightly open, revealing a neatly ironed white shirt underneath. A dark tie was tied at the collar of the shirt, with a meticulous knot, both formal and detailed.

    His cuffs revealed a pair of exquisite cufflinks, the metallic luster low-key and luxurious, obviously carefully selected accessories.

    Even Xie Yuyin, who doesn’t usually dress up, had tidied herself up.

    The three of them were very much looking forward to Chu Zhaoyi’s first art exhibition.

    [Zhang Anru]: Sister is also looking forward to it.

    She didn’t mention Xie Tingyun, as if the man in the photo was just someone she accidentally included.

    Zhang Anru sent several messages in quick succession.

    Chu Zhaoyi saw them after washing up, biting the bun that Gu Yusen handed him, and slowly replied.

    [Chu A’yi]: Okay

    After replying to the message, he went to the drawer to find the art exhibition tickets.

    He originally only took out two, but after thinking about it, he took another one.

    He could feel that Zhang Anru would carefully mention Xie Tingyun in front of him.

    He could also feel that they wanted him to acknowledge this father.

    In fact, he didn’t feel much for Xie Tingyun.

    Perhaps because he was his mother’s husband, his sister’s father, or perhaps because he was anxious and followed along to find him for a day and a night without closing his eyes when he was kidnapped, he still brought a ticket for Xie Tingyun.

    Gu Yusen blinked: “Don’t you have mine, A’yi?”

    Chu Zhaoyi wasn’t too angry, he was just tired. After Gu Yusen diligently massaged his waist all day yesterday, he felt comfortable.

    What’s more, he also enjoyed it.

    “You and I will go through another channel, Brother Sanmu.”

    Chu Zhaoyi and Gu Yusen arrived at the entrance of the art exhibition and saw Zhang Anru, Xie Tingyun, and Xie Yuyin from afar.

    Zhang Anru was wearing an elegant light-colored dress, carrying a small handbag, and smiling as she spoke to Xie Yuyin.

    Xie Tingyun stood aside, wearing a well-tailored dark suit, looking calm, his eyes occasionally scanning the surroundings, seeming a bit serious. Xie Yuyin was wearing a simple casual jacket, holding her phone, seemingly taking pictures.

    Chu Zhaoyi and Gu Yusen walked over. As soon as Zhang Anru saw him, she immediately smiled: “A’yi, you’re here!”

    “Mom, have you been here for a long time?”

    “No! We just arrived!” Zhang Anru wasn’t lying, they got up early, but she was a girl and had to dress up!

    She had to tidy up for her son’s first art exhibition!

    Chu Zhaoyi touched his pocket and didn’t find the ticket. Gu Yusen sighed and took it out of his bag and put it in his hand.

    Zhang Anru looked at this scene with a smile, even more satisfied with Gu Yusen, her daughter-in-law!

    Chu Zhaoyi doesn’t know how to take care of himself, she has always been worried, but now it seems that Gu Yusen will take good care of him.

    Chu Zhaoyi didn’t feel anything. Gu Yusen always cleaned up his things that he always loses, and handed over the three tickets in his hand, “These are the tickets.”

    Zhang Anru took the tickets, her eyebrows curved with a smile, visibly seeing three. She thought Chu Zhaoyi would only take two!

    She even asked Xie Tingyun to prepare her ticket in advance…

    After all, judging from Chu Zhaoyi’s character, if he didn’t acknowledge Xie Tingyun, he wouldn’t care about anyone’s feelings and bring him a ticket.

    Not giving him a cold shoulder is a great thing.

    Looking at Chu Zhaoyi’s attitude, perhaps her husband also has a chance!

    At least A’yi doesn’t hate him.

    “Thank you A’yi, Mom has been looking forward to this for a long time!”

    Xie Yuyin also chimed in: “Thank you, A’yi.”

    Seeing that the young man was so well-behaved, she couldn’t help but reach out and rub his little red hair.

    She didn’t dare to use too much force.

    For fear of messing it up.

    Xie Tingyun said dryly: “Thank you, A’yi, the art exhibition looks very successful.”

    There were many people lining up at the entrance of the art exhibition, very crowded. This art exhibition looked very popular.

    Chu Zhaoyi gave a faint “hmm” and didn’t linger. He had to find Professor Qin. “You guys can look around yourselves, I’m going to find my teacher.”

    Zhang Anru smiled and nodded: “Okay, you guys go ahead, don’t worry about us.”

    Chu Zhaoyi and Gu Yusen turned and left, walking into the exhibition hall. Professor Qin was talking to several industry insiders in a corner of the exhibition hall. Seeing Chu Zhaoyi coming over, he immediately smiled and waved: “A’yi, come over here!”

    Chu Zhaoyi walked over, and Gu Yusen found a place not far away to sit and wait for him.

    Professor Qin smiled and patted Chu Zhaoyi’s shoulder, his tone full of pride: “A’yi, you really make me proud. A few days ago, I was abroad for an exchange, and I brought a few of your paintings over, and as a result, those old guys were so jealous, they even wanted to poach my student! That’s why they followed me back eagerly.”

    “But don’t even think about poaching my student, my student only acknowledges me!”

    Chu Zhaoyi didn’t expose the old man in public. He had learned some social skills after being taught by Gu Yusen for a long time. At this moment, he didn’t just remain silent.

    He had heard of these people before, and now that he saw them in person, he wasn’t too excited, but he was still quite happy.

    “Hello, teachers, my name is Chu Zhaoyi.”

    As soon as Chu Zhaoyi finished speaking, the eyes of several big shots fell on him, with a hint of scrutiny and appreciation in their eyes.

    One of the middle-aged women wearing gold-rimmed glasses was the first to speak, her tone full of praise: “Chu Zhaoyi? So you are the proud student that Professor Qin always talks about. I’ve seen your “Thorn Bird” series. The brushstrokes are delicate, and the emotional expression is very well done, especially that “Cage”, the sense of oppression and struggle in the picture is almost palpable.”

    Another old man with a goatee picked up the conversation, his tone with a hint of emotion: “Yes, especially your use of color is simply amazing. The light and shadow processing in that “Dark River” is very subtle, truly formidable young man!”

    Professor Qin listened to this and narrowed his eyes with a smile, his tone full of pride: “That’s for sure, A’yi was brought up by me, don’t have any crooked ideas!”

    Chu Zhaoyi was a little embarrassed by the praise, the tips of his ears were faintly red, but there was still no expression on his face: “Thank you for the praise, teachers.”

    He is considered good among his peers, but in front of these senior artists, he is still not good enough. They are also giving face to Professor Qin.

    Gu Yusen looked at the shy Chu A’yi from the side, as expected, his constant education along the way was useful! He thought that Professor Qin would definitely take the opportunity to introduce Chu Zhaoyi to more industry masters, so he told the young man for a long time to be polite.

    Sure enough, it worked!

    The corners of Gu Yusen’s mouth raised slightly, his eyes full of smiles. He took out his phone and quietly took a picture of Chu Zhaoyi surrounded by people, and sent it to Zhang Anru, with a sentence: [Auntie, A’yi is the protagonist today.]

    Zhang Anru quickly replied: [I see! Our A’yi is great! Take more pictures for me!]

    Gu Yusen smiled, put away his phone, and his eyes never left Chu Zhaoyi’s figure.

    He thought to himself, this is the most dazzling A’yi.

    Not the gray little bird who was hidden in the bedroom and lost his freedom due to the Chu family’s selfish desires.

    After Professor Qin led Chu Zhaoyi to talk with these people for a while, they were going to visit the art exhibition, and Chu Zhaoyi followed along, and Gu Yusen followed as well.

    Professor Qin and the others are in front.

    The two secretly held hands and walked together. Chu Zhaoyi’s eyes occasionally fell on the paintings as he listened to Professor Qin’s explanations.

    This exhibition hall is all paintings of Professor Qin. There are three exhibition halls in total. Another is Chu Zhaoyi’s paintings, and the remaining last one is all kinds of famous works and collections.

    Professor Qin’s paintings are grand and magnificent in style, with delicate brushstrokes and extremely deep emotional expression. Chu Zhaoyi stood in front of a painting, his eyes focused, with a faint hint of admiration in his eyes.

    Gu Yusen noticed his expression and asked softly: “Professor Qin’s paintings, are they very good?”

    He doesn’t understand these things.

    Chu Zhaoyi gave a soft “hmm”, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible: “His paintings are very good.”

    Gu Yusen squeezed Chu Zhaoyi’s hand: “In my heart, A’yi’s paintings are the most amazing.”
