Chapter 167 “Don’t you like me?”

Chapter 167 “Don’t you like me?”

Chu Zhaoyi had paper and pen in his bag. He didn’t have an easel, but it would have to do.

He just didn’t expect to run into Mo Jincheng here.

A figure silently sat beside him. Chu Zhaoyi didn’t notice it at first, until Mo Jincheng’s voice sounded in his ear, “Ayi, long time no see.”

Chu Zhaoyi raised his head, his eyes landing on Mo Jincheng, somewhat puzzled.

Why was he here?

As if understanding his question, Mo Jincheng shrugged, a bruise hanging on the corner of his mouth.

Beaten by Gu Yusen.

He couldn’t beat Gu Yusen.

Gu Yusen beat him severely under the guise of sparring, without holding back at all.

He was even disfigured.

A hateful rival in love.

“Do you believe me if I say it’s a coincidence?” Mo Jincheng touched his nose.

Chu Zhaoyi shook his head.

Mo Jincheng rubbed his hands a little awkwardly. This was the first time they had met since the kidnapping incident.

In the end, if he hadn’t had ulterior motives, Xie Haoran and Mu Xi wouldn’t have been able to take advantage of the situation.

He was to blame for Chu Zhaoyi’s injuries. If Gu Yusen hadn’t arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“I’m sorry, Ayi.” Mo Jincheng stood up solemnly and bowed deeply to Chu Zhaoyi. There weren’t many people in the convenience store, and his apology seemed particularly clear.

Chu Zhaoyi paused. Actually, regarding Mo Jincheng,

In the beginning, there were two special people in his heart, one was Gu Yusen, and the other was Mo Jincheng. Although he couldn’t compare to Gu Yusen, he still held some weight.

That’s why he didn’t like others calling him Ayi, not even Zhang Haoyu used that name.

But he allowed Mo Jincheng to call him Ayi.

Mo Jincheng’s position in his heart was special. If he hadn’t bought his paintings and given him money and surveillance equipment, he might not have been able to escape the Chu family environment cleanly.

So when he stood in front of him and said he liked him, he didn’t reject Mo Jincheng.

It’s just that he already had Brother Sanmu.

Mo Jincheng could only be a friend, and would only be a friend.

As for the kidnapping incident, he was a little angry, but on second thought, he seemed to be able to understand it a little.

The feeling of liking someone is inherently uncontrollable.

Everyone has the right to pursue love, but Mo Jincheng used the wrong method, almost leading to a tragedy.

Chu Zhaoyi’s heart was very small, so small that it could barely hold one person named Gu Yusen. He didn’t want to have any extra emotions for Mo Jincheng.

Just like Xie Haoran back then, he did many things that wronged him. In the eyes of outsiders, he was extremely guilty, but Chu Zhaoyi felt that what Xie Haoran had taken away wasn’t very important, so he had always let him jump around.

Until he dragged gossip onto Gu Yusen.

Chu Zhaoyi was really angry.

After dealing with him, he removed Xie Haoran’s name from his life.

Hate? It was more like not caring.

So it was the same with Mo Jincheng. He couldn’t say he hated him, but he was indeed a little annoyed.

“Just consider it repaying you for helping me back then.”

“Let’s call it even.”

Chu Zhaoyi had always thought that their transaction three years ago was a fair exchange, but he later realized that Mo Jincheng had made a losing deal, so they might as well call it even.

Mo Jincheng smiled wryly.

“I originally thought that with the help I gave you three years ago, I could have a slightly different place in your heart.”

Chu Zhaoyi didn’t respond to that.

“Sigh, it’s already like this anyway. I might leave tomorrow.”

“I’m the heir to the Mo family, and I can’t leave for too long, not to mention that the course I was teaching your class as an assistant is over.”

“It gives me headache to teach a bunch of idiots in your class.”

Mo Jincheng admired geniuses, and naturally, he also hated idiots. Pinching his nose and teaching those mediocre students was the most wronged thing he had ever done in his life.

The pen in Chu Zhaoyi’s hand paused.

Mo Jincheng thought that Chu Zhaoyi was still a little soft-hearted towards him, and his eyes lit up.

Could it be that there was a chance?

“Then do something for me.” Chu Zhaoyi turned his head, his eyes falling on Mo Jincheng.

The corner of Mo Jincheng’s mouth twitched. He was rendered speechless by Chu Zhaoyi’s ordering tone, but who told him that he liked Chu Zhaoyi’s attitude?

But he still had to save face. He raised his chin: “Why should I help you? Didn’t you say that all debts were cleared? I don’t owe you anything!”

Chu Zhaoyi glanced at him: “Don’t you like me?”
