“I feel a little dizzy.” On their way to the parking lot, Jiang Chenming rubbed his own forehead as if he hadn’t yet recovered from the restaurant’s lively atmosphere.

There weren’t many people on the street that late at night. Mo Lingqiu noticed that Jiang Chenming seemed really dizzy and leaned slightly towards him, intending to lend him a shoulder to lean on.

Jiang Chenming obediently leaned over, but he also grabbed Mo Lingqiu’s hand and interlocked their fingers. “Luckily you didn’t drink too much.”

Mo Lingqiu actually had a high alcohol tolerance, but he didn’t like to drink. Compared to white wine, he was more fond of the red.

“That group of brats really just want to screw me up.” Jiang Chenming thought back to the chaos of the dinner table while they were playing Truth Or Dare. Although he and Mo Lingqiu were lucky to escape playing the role of the “unlucky guy”, they still inevitably drank a lot of wine.

“It means you’re popular.” Mo Linqiu thought, If you weren’t popular with people, even if there was big gossip, people would probably only choose to discuss it in private; they wouldn’t directly ask or openly joke with you.

When Jiang Chenming heard the word “popular”, his expression became tense and, as if suddenly remembering something, he seriously said, “Teacher Mo, you’re very charming.”

Hearing this, Mo Lingqiu was confused. He didn’t know why he was suddenly being mentioned.

“I’ll count for you: Hu Zi, Brother Xiao, Qiao Qiao…” Jiang Chenming named them off one by one, counting on his fingers. He turned and looked at Mo Lingqiu when his ten fingers had all been used up. “How many people on our basketball team are interested in you, huh?”

Mo Lingqiu blinked. Even though his expression was cold, there was a trace of relaxation. The person in front of him wasn’t jealous because of the nonsense that everyone at the table had said, right? Besides, he didn’t know any of the people that Jiang Chenming was talking about.

“Teacher Mo, why aren’t you saying anything?” By virtue of the wine he’d drunk, Jiang Chenming was demonstrating his pestering skills.

Mo Lingqiu didn’t know what to say, so he pursed his lips without answering.

Jiang Chenming moved forward and whispered in Mo Lingqiu’s ear, “Teacher Mo, you are mine.”

Before Mo Lingqiu could react, his left ear was bitten. Jiang Chenming didn’t show a shred of mercy.

“…Hss.” Mo Lingqiu took in a breath of cold air, twisted his head, and looked at the guy who frequently bit his ear. “Then should we count up the number of people who like you?”

Jiang Chenming, who had been “vicious” the second before, was suddenly speechless. After a light cough, he cheekily said, “I only have you in my eyes, Teacher Mo. It’s not like you don’t know that.”

“I…” Mo Lingqiu wanted to say “I have no one else in my eyes”, but since it was a really mushy line that wasn’t in line with his personality, he swallowed back the words before they could come out.

“’I’ what? Finish the sentence or I won’t be able to sleep tonight.” Jiang Chenming stopped his footsteps and looked at Mo Lingqiu with a really serious expression.

Mo Lingqiu gently pushed him, but Jiang Chenming didn’t budge. He lowered his head and muttered, “Six of one and half a dozen of the other.” 1

“Teacher Mo, you teach Chinese. This isn’t an accurate use of words.” Jiang Chenming scratched Mo Lingqiu’s palm, teasing him with delight.
