PNB Chapter 116 has nothing to do with me, didn't you say that?
Chapter 116 has nothing to do with me, didn't you say that?
"No...that...I..."
Zhou Heng was speechless for a moment, and began to doubt himself: had he really gone that far?
Thinking about it carefully, could it be that I've really been bullying Kong Yue all along? But I don't feel like it...
"If you ask me, Brother Zhou, just leave it alone. It has nothing to do with you, right?"
Seeing that Zhou Heng was wavering, Kong Yue pressed his advantage, patted him on the shoulder, and offered some words of advice.
Zhou Heng also felt that Kong Yue's words made sense; he realized that he had indeed been meddling in other people's business.
I just feel that Liao Haomiao helped me a lot in terms of relationships.
I've been looking for an opportunity to repay him, but I haven't had the chance yet.
So just now I subconsciously wanted to stop Kong Yue from harassing that girl. I guess that counts as helping out a little, right?
Liao Haomiao probably wouldn't want to see this girl being harassed by someone like Kong Yue.
"Fine, I don't care anymore."
Zhou Heng nodded, turned around, and went back to the check-in area.
Since Liao Haomiao isn't even trying to get anything, why should I meddle?
If we are then condemned for doing something unnecessary, it would be a real loss.
"Hey, that's more like it! Good luck in your competition, Zhou-ge, and cheer me on too! Haha!"
Kong Yue laughed, then continued walking towards the fence.
This was the first time he had managed to persuade Zhou Heng.
He felt that Zhou Heng seemed to have changed a bit, and was not as oppressive as before. In the past, he always felt that no one could get close to him, and no one could be his friend.
He walked up to the fence, straightened his clothes, looked at the girl in front of him, and greeted her warmly:
"Hi! You two beautiful ladies, which school do you go to?"
Kong Yue's enthusiasm went unanswered. The two women looked at each other, their eyes seemingly saying: Go and talk to him.
Zhu Tao hesitated for a moment, then looked at Kong Yue and slowly asked:
"Um... hello classmate, I wanted to ask if you know Liao Haomiao?"
"Ok?"
Kong Yue frowned, and upon hearing the name, he couldn't help but pause in surprise.
He recognized the name; it sounded familiar, like he'd heard it somewhere before. But it was a man's name, and he wasn't interested, so he didn't remember it.
"No, I don't."
Kong Yue immediately shook his head in denial. He knew he couldn't talk about other guys in front of this girl right now, otherwise she wouldn't get his attention.
So even though the name sounded familiar, he immediately said he had never heard of it.
Kong Yue's answer was like a bucket of cold water poured on Zhu Tao, instantly shattering her hopes.
Her friend patted her on the shoulder and said:
"Sigh, if you ask me, he probably doesn't even attend this school. Let's go, there's no point in staying here."
Zhu Tao remained silent; perhaps at that moment, even she felt a little wavering.
When Kong Yue heard that the two girls were leaving, he immediately became anxious. He had finally managed to chat with the girls for a couple of sentences without being rejected, and this was the best chance he had ever had!
"Hey! Don't go! Um... I think my friend knows you. He... he seems to know you. Maybe we're friends."
In his haste, Kong Yue brought up Zhou Heng, as his immediate priority was to keep them there and attract their attention.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Tao's hope was rekindled. She looked at Kong Yue expectantly and asked, "Really?"
But Zhu Tao's friend didn't believe such an obvious lie, and said irritably:
"Don't talk nonsense. Where is your friend? Could it be that such a person doesn't even exist? Zhu Tao, let's go. Staying here is just a waste of time."
Kong Yue pointed behind him and said:
"Look over there! That strongest guy, that's my friend! I'll call him over if you don't believe me!"
"Zhu Tao, I think it's necessary to stay here a little longer, just in case what he said is true?"
"..."
Zhu Tao looked at her friend helplessly, thinking to herself that she was truly adept at changing her expression, much faster than flipping through a book...
So she stayed here not to keep me company, but because she had her eye on that muscular guy?
"Then please call him over."
"Uh..."
Kong Yue glanced at Zhou Heng, hesitated for a few seconds,
He didn't lie in anything he said; the only slight lie was about whether he was actually Zhou Heng's friend—that remained to be verified...
If I go and call him, will he come? Why should he help me? The things that happened with Tang Zhi and Yin Mengran are still fresh in my mind.
"Are you going to call out or not? Or are we leaving?"
"Ahem, I'll go... I'll go ask, but he's about to start a race, so he might not be able to come."
Kong Yue awkwardly turned and left, heading towards Zhou Heng's direction.
Zhou Heng was still in line; it would be his turn to check in soon, and then he could go to the competition venue and wait for the competition to begin.
He also took this opportunity to warm up briefly.
"Um... Brother Zhou..."
"hold head high?"
Zhou Heng turned to look to the side and saw Kong Yue standing there awkwardly, bowing and lowering his head, like a servant.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Brother Zhou...can you do me a favor? Come with me and put in a good word for me..."
Kong Yue pointed towards Zhu Tao and pleaded with Zhou Heng in a low voice.
Without even thinking, Zhou Heng turned his head away and said:
"Impossible. You just said I shouldn't worry about it and that it has nothing to do with me. Didn't you say that?"
"Ah... th... did I really say that? No way..."
Kong Yue forced a smile, but it looked worse than crying.
"I don't care whether it's true or not. I shouldn't be involved in this kind of thing in the first place. Besides, I have a competition coming up soon, so I don't have time to deal with your matter."
With that, Zhou Heng stepped forward to prepare for the check-in.
Kong Yue stood there, extremely embarrassed, not knowing what to say. If he couldn't get Zhou Heng to come over now, the two girls would leave...
"Ugh..."
Kong Yue sighed, realizing that he had once again inadvertently linked the girl with Zhou Heng, forgetting that such connections were never good.
If I were to actually bring Zhou Heng over, I would definitely still suffer the consequences.
Realizing this, Kong Yue glanced longingly in the direction Zhu Tao and the others had gone, then turned and left in the opposite direction.
Although he liked the two girls, it wasn't enough to make him risk being taken advantage of in a charge.
Anyway, there are so many people in this school, he doesn't believe he won't find it today!
Shortly after Kong Yue left, Zhou Heng finished checking in and waited for the match.
He glanced at Zhu Tao, then started walking slowly over...
