    Chapter 44: “Okay, I will win.”

    Chapter 44 “Okay, I will win.”

    Chu Zhaoyi was dragged away by Gu Yusen.

    Leaving Zhang Haoyu behind, who gave himself a shuddering rub on the head.

    For a straight man, having his head touched is a huge humiliation.

    He decided to unilaterally be angry with Chu Zhaoyi.

    Unless he brings him that delicious baozi from this morning tomorrow.

    Yeah.

    Chu Zhaoyi was lectured by Gu Yusen for a long time, and eventually, he became a little annoyed.

    “Don’t be fierce with me, Brother Sanmu!”

    “Where the hell was I being fierce? Who told you to touch other people’s heads? I lecture you a few times and you look unhappy. Don’t you think you did something wrong, Chu Zhaoyi!” Gu Yusen pinched Chu Zhaoyi’s nose, huffing with anger.

    This person clearly likes him so much, so why go and provoke others? With that beautiful face, one look and they’re hooked.

    Didn’t he see that Zhang Haoyu’s ears were completely red?

    An eyesore!

    Bring breakfast, my ass!

    Go eat air!

    Damn roommate, still maintaining roommate affection. He’s crazy to get a dorm room for Chu Zhaoyi, he is finding a bunch of trouble for himself!

    Gu Yusen was hopping mad.

    “Then you touch my hair too!” Chu Zhaoyi imitated Gu Yusen’s tone, but his voice wasn’t as loud.

    Gu Yusen choked. How could it be the same?!

    “You’re my brother, what’s wrong with me touching you a couple of times?!” Gu Yusen’s words were a little lacking in confidence, and he didn’t even realize the guilt in his tone.

    Chu Zhaoyi thought for two seconds, and it seemed to make some sense.

    “Okay, I guess.”

    “Yo,” Gu Yusen didn’t expect this stubborn little donkey to see reason for once, and he was amused.

    “Then I want to touch your head too,” Chu Zhaoyi raised his head, his gaze falling on the top of Gu Yusen’s head.

    Zhang Haoyu’s hair was hard and a little prickly. What about Brother Sanmu’s? Was it hard like him? He had touched his own hair, which was softer.

    Gu Yusen, who had been grinning widely, froze completely when he heard these words.

    “Cough, let’s go, Professor Qin is waiting for you.”

    He tried to change the subject.

    “You’re the older brother, so the older brother can touch the younger brother. Why can’t the younger brother touch the older brother?” Chu Zhaoyi trotted two steps to catch up with Gu Yusen, stubbornly pushing his head forward to ask.

    Gu Yusen’s attempt to change the subject failed. He pushed away Chu Zhaoyi’s flamboyant face.

    “Because I’m your brother! How can a younger brother just touch his older brother’s head? No respect!”

    Chu Zhaoyi expressed his dissatisfaction with his double standards. Before he could say anything, Gu Yusen pushed him into Professor Qin’s office.

    When he looked up again, he could only see a back view.

    Chu Zhaoyi puffed up his cheeks unhappily, then turned around and was dragged away by Professor Qin, who slammed the door shut as if afraid Chu Zhaoyi would run away.

    “So that’s how it is,” Professor Qin looked at the unhappy Chu Zhaoyi and rubbed his hands guiltily.

    “We have a competition coming up, and it’s quite prestigious. Although it doesn’t prohibit freshmen from participating, the teachers generally don’t take freshmen to participate, since they lack experience. But…” Professor Qin couldn’t continue, and glanced at Chu Zhaoyi’s expression.

    It remained unchanged, as if he hadn’t heard anything.

    Professor Qin simply finished, “But that old guy Li Ze, and a professor at the school next door who has a bit of a feud with me, heard that I took in a student this year, and insisted that my student participate and get a ranking.”

    The fact that Chu Zhaoyi was his student hadn’t spread yet, mainly because Chu Zhaoyi didn’t like being watched. He and Gu Yusen considered the matter and decided not to announce who his student was for the time being.

    Although it was inevitable that it would be discovered, they would at least wait until Chu Zhaoyi’s condition improved.

    So he hadn’t said anything.

    He had previously lost his mind, and without knowing Chu Zhaoyi’s situation, he confidently took in a good student, letting his rival at the school next door know, who directly challenged him. He had been confident in his student back then and agreed immediately.

    He hadn’t expected Chu Zhaoyi’s situation to be so special.

    So Professor Qin felt guilty mentioning it, and even secretly said it while Gu Yusen wasn’t around, because Gu Yusen definitely wouldn’t agree!

    “But painting doesn’t seem like something that can be used for a competition,” Chu Zhaoyi didn’t directly refuse, but just didn’t understand. To him, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You might think his painting is beautiful, and he might think someone else’s painting is beautiful. It’s hard to define a win or loss.

    “Subjectively, that’s true, but this competition is a nationally renowned competition, and it has its own set of judging standards. It’s currently highly accepted, and the experts are very professional.”

    “I’ve also been invited to participate as a judge.”

    Professor Qin would seize every opportunity to instill in Chu Zhaoyi that he was a very talented artist and painter, seizing every opportunity.

    “Oh,” Chu Zhaoyi blinked and nodded, looking at the kind-faced, mischievous Professor Qin.

    Every time he had seen Professor Qin, he had been confident and proud, with a serious passion and confidence in his professional field that seemed genuine.

    But now, he had a worried expression.

    It seemed he was indeed facing some difficulties.

    “Sigh,” Professor Qin didn’t really expect Chu Zhaoyi to agree, but after all, he was getting old and needed to save face. He had been fighting with his rival for so long, and he had always been firmly ahead. It was just that he had ultimately lost out on taking in a student.

    Moreover, he had been intoxicated by the joy of getting a good student for a while, and hadn’t been deliberately restrained, so naturally people knew everything clearly.

    Now, if he refused to participate in the competition, it would look like he was feeling guilty and running away at the last minute.

    Just thinking about it made him feel bad.

    Professor Qin was still worrying about it when he heard Chu Zhaoyi’s voice.

    “Okay.”

    “I will win.”
