I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 490 99 steps

"Xiao Chu, what have you been busy with recently?"

Su Zelang steered the car with one hand and turned his head to look at the two people in the back seat.

"Uncle, I was busy with company matters recently. Now I finally get home! I just want to have a good rest at home. I don't want to do anything!"

Chu Qingmian laughed, "Hehe," and leaned on the backrest of the front seat, with his cheeks puffed up a little.

"Is that so? Hahaha! A good father will have a good daughter."

Before Su Zelang could finish his words, Su Chengyi in the back seat coughed lightly.

"cough."

Su Zelang shut his mouth instantly and glanced secretly in the rearview mirror.

Su Chengyi looked very calm, as if he had just cleared his throat.

But Su Zelang obviously knew that this was not the case. He pushed his sunglasses awkwardly and continued:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, uncle is used to socializing in the business world, it's hard to change this bad habit."

"It's okay, uncle."

Chu Qingmian was quite easy to talk to. He blinked his eyes and shook his head quickly.

She quietly poked the poker-faced man next to her and whispered:
"Su Chengyi, why do you look so unhappy?"

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows in confusion and grabbed her rebellious fingers.

"I'm not unhappy. I'm usually like this. Don't you know that?"

"It's just the usual. Today I finally get to hang out with my uncle!"

It was obvious that Chu Qingmian's sense of responsibility as a squad leader was playing tricks on him again.

Chu Qingmian was not actually the class monitor when he was in elementary school. It was only when he reached junior high school and was assigned to the same class as Su Chengyi through his "money power", but he still couldn't say a few words to him, that he decided to become the class monitor after learning from his mistakes!
The final outcome is of course that he succeeded in speaking, namely:
"Classmates, it's time to pay this semester's class fees~"

"Oh."

"Student, please fill out the school uniform size chart here."

"Ah."

"Classmate, the scholarship for the last monthly exam is in this envelope, please keep it safe!"

"Thank you."

It turns out that speaking or not speaking makes no difference at all!
Although he failed to achieve his original goal, Chu Qingmian adhered to the life creed of "do it to the best of your ability" and worked diligently as a class monitor.

The class monitor in middle school actually faces a lot of trouble, and is truly the second in command to the head teacher.

Especially when the class teacher is someone like Li Lu, she has to take care of everything, and when it comes down to the grassroots level, it becomes the job of class monitor Chu.

After Chu Yuanjiang knew about it, he first laughed for a while, and then personally told her for the 2,338th time his own struggle and success story.

Everything he has now started from when he was a small-time gangster with average grades and became a class monitor. He successfully trained his interpersonal skills and adaptability, and also accumulated the first batch of useful connections in his life.

Balabala, all in all, was very helpful.

In the end, of course, Miss Chu pushed him out the door with a look of disgust.

At that time, Chu Qingmian had no intention of improving her social skills at all. She just wanted to say a few more words to Su Chengyi.

However, Class Leader Chu was born with bright eyes and a smart mind, and he was very efficient in handling trivial matters.

She is like a warm little sun at all times, and no student or teacher would be unhappy to see her.

Of course Li Lu would not let go of such an excellent helper, so since then, Class Monitor Chu has never been able to take off this title.

Perhaps it is because she has been a class monitor for too long that even though she is now a female college student, she still has such an upright and well-behaved character.

I read the school rules carefully on the first day of school.

Su Chengyi has lived two lifetimes and doesn't even know what the first rule of the school is.

"Su Chengyi, you see, you are going to college now. It's so far away in Beijing. It's hard for you to see your parents, and even harder for you to go out and play together. So you can't be so nagging. You should be so nagging."

Chu Qingmian, who was full of responsibility, whispered in his ear.

Su Chengyi listened without paying attention, but let it go in one ear and out the other.

What is more attractive than these gentle persuasion is the tiny sparkles on her lips as they open and close.

"What did you paint?"

Su Chengyi asked.

"What?"

Chu Qingmian was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was asking, and raised the corner of his mouth with some pride.

"Where's my new lip gloss? It's a retro orange-brown with shimmers. Do you think it looks good?
No, why are you changing the subject! "

Chu Qingmian realized it later and immediately put away his smug smile and put on a serious expression again.

"Did you listen carefully to what others said?"

"uh-huh."

Su Chengyi nodded calmly.

"Then can Su Chengyi do it?"

Chu Qingmian grabbed his face and used her fingers to pull the corners of his mouth upwards into the shape of a smile.

"How can you be like this? Your smile beats the sun. It's even prettier than mine."

Chu Qingmian began to sing a song with a strange tune while shaking her head. Su Chengyi couldn't help but suspect that this was another one of her fabrications just to coax him into cooperating.

Su Chengyi turned his head and glanced at the person in the driver's seat.

Su Zelang was originally watching the show with an auntie smile on his face, but he immediately sat up straight when he was glanced at by his indifferent eyes, and even adjusted the navigation route with a guilty conscience.

Su Chengyi withdrew his gaze from the bystanders, looked down at Chu Qingmian who was looking expectant, and pointed at the corner of his mouth seriously.

".What are you doing?"

Chu Qingmian blinked in confusion, her beautiful pupils innocent and clear.

It took her a while to react, and she immediately glanced at the driver's seat nervously.

Su Zelang's driving posture at this time was so standard that it seemed like it was taken out of a textbook.

He looked straight ahead, his back was straight, and his sunglasses were welded to his face.

But Chu Qingmian still pushed Su Chengyi lightly with a red face.

"No! Are you ashamed?"

She covered her mouth defensively, and the sound she made was like the humming of a mosquito, with only a pair of watery eyes left exposed.

Su Chengyi couldn't help but laugh secretly. He didn't really want Chu Qingmian to kiss him here.

Well, although I do think about it a little, I guess Miss Chu, who is very thin-skinned, will definitely not agree.

"OK then."

Su Chengyi, who had achieved his goal, spread his hands in a disappointed manner, closed his eyes, leaned back, and leaned on the back seat, looking like he was going to take a nap. The reason for this was that Su Chengyi was too lazy to play the role of a positive and optimistic good son in front of Su Zelang.

He has never acted in all these years.

Regarding his parents' divorce, Su Chengyi always felt that he was a more open-minded and sensible type, and he did not cling to their thighs and cry and shout at them not to allow him to divorce.

He had no objection to the two of them remarrying. He just refused to participate in their new family, which was completely understandable.

Su Chengyi didn't even follow the bad boys' tricks of teenage rebellion. He quietly completed his studies, then quietly left his hometown, completely cutting ties with his original family.

From the perspective of rebirth, Su Chengyi has a new understanding of his attitude.

In fact, he is not as indifferent as he appears. On the contrary, he cares a lot.

That's why they pretend to be indifferent, but silently do the most resistant and rebellious things.

Although Su Chengyi was introverted and taciturn when he was young, he did not have any psychological problems. He also had feelings for this noisy and financially strapped family of three.

Besides, his grandfather was still alive at that time. To be honest, Su Chengyi felt that his childhood was actually very happy.

There is an open-minded and humorous father, a beautiful and gentle mother, and a grandfather who seems strict but is actually gentle and loving.

Although they quarreled more often later, Su Chengyi still believed that there was no doubt that they loved each other.

But what happened next made it impossible for the two to maintain this marriage.

One was the death of her grandfather, which was a huge blow to Yang Liu.

The second is about Su Zelang's cheating.

Even though he completely denied it and would never admit it, Su Chengyi still felt that he could understand why Yang Liu was so determined to divorce at that time.

Because such a series of blows were too severe for her, she had no energy to listen to Su Zelang's explanation and clarification.

What’s more, the person Su Zelang “suspected” of cheating with is her good friend since childhood.

My goodness, even soap operas don’t act this way.

But if the truth is really as Su Zelang said, and he was indeed wronged, then he is really unlucky.

There is absolutely no way to defend oneself. Even if one jumps into the Yellow River, one cannot wash away the dirt on one's head.

After such a bloody and dramatic divorce farce, Yang Liu resolutely cut off contact with the two and pursued a new life; and after a period of decadence and confusion, Su Zelang also began to concentrate on his career, and as a result, in just one year he earned more money than he had earned in the previous ten years.

Overall, everyone has gotten better.

Only Su Chengyi was forgotten where he was, as if everything familiar around him had changed.

His favorite elder passed away, his parents turned against each other and went their separate ways, leaving him with only an empty house in the old city.

He had no choice but to accept the reality.

It was probably from that time that Su Chengyi began to become more and more isolated and refused to communicate with anyone.

It turns out that thinking about things that happened so long ago still feels a bit uncomfortable. Su Chengyi was thinking about this.

Suddenly, a soft touch was felt on the right side of my cheek.

Su Chengyi opened his eyes and saw Chu Qingmian's slightly red nose. Her sparkling eyes and nervously pursed lips all revealed what she had just done.

Logically, she should have immediately covered her face and ran away out of shame, but at this moment she came closer and said in a soft voice:
"Su Chengyi, I thought about it and felt that I shouldn't have pestered you to do something you didn't want to do. I'm sorry!"

Su Chengyi felt the warm breath against his ear and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that she would suddenly bring up this.

"Ok?"

Chu Qingmian looked at his somewhat confused expression, narrowed his eyes and continued:
"I know you didn't look so sad on purpose, I just hope you can be a little happier and want to see you smile more.

But after thinking about it, I think it’s most important for you to be relaxed and natural. It would be more tiring if you have to pretend when you go out to play!"

She spoke in a serious tone, obviously having just thought carefully about it.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes, feeling a little complicated.

A big part of the reason why there is such a long distance between him and Su Zelang is that Su Zelang has too little empathy and cannot think from other people's perspectives.

Whether it was the father-son love he wanted to show, or the fatherly love he wanted to make up for afterward, they were all based on his own personal ideas. He never thought about whether Su Chengyi wanted it or whether he could accept these exaggerated forms.

So Su Chengyi didn't like expensive electronic products or the inexplicable integration of new families into the dinner party.

Su Chengyi once thought that this was the barrier that existed in the bridge of human communication, which could not be broken through and was innate.

However, such a barrier was easily broken by Chu Qingmian.

As long as you take one step toward her, she will take the next ninety-nine steps.

"Ahem, that, Xiao Chu."

Perhaps he noticed Su Chengyi's silence and had the illusion that he "needed his old father to help him out", Su Zelang, who had been pretending to be an excellent driver, finally couldn't help but interrupt.

"It's okay! Don't worry. Cheng Yi and I have always been like this. He just doesn't talk much! And it's normal for boys of this age to be a little cool."

"Okay uncle."

Although Chu Qingmian responded verbally, he still kept his eyes on Su Chengyi, worried that he might be in a bad mood.

Su Chengyi looked at her clear pupils and sighed softly.

Every time I get along with Chu Qingmian, a question always arises in my mind.

Such a kind and honest moral role model, such a straightforward player who takes the initiative to communicate about everything and never hides anything, such a top ten girlfriend who is wholeheartedly devoted to you.

How have you, Su, deserved her favor?

After all, Su Chengyi himself was also confused about this question.

"Hey, young people nowadays are great. They talk about things right away. That's great!"

Su Zelang was in a good mood and patted the steering wheel, and his action of pressing the horn was as casual as if he was pressing a money printing machine.

"You heard it very well."

Su Chengyi said slowly.

"It would be strange if we couldn't hear anything in such a small space."

Chu Qingmian subconsciously tried to make amends for the other person, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she felt a little shy and hid her face behind Su Chengyi's shoulder.

Su Zelang habitually ignored Su Chengyi's sarcastic tone and said:
"This is really good news. I've experienced this myself! What's the most important thing in love? There can't be any misunderstandings!

Xiao Chu, uncle is really happy to meet you by chance, this is great, there must be a gossip between two people."

Chu Qingmian listened attentively, nodding and saying "hmm" from time to time, giving the speaker positive feedback in a timely manner.

Looking at her flattering look, Su Chengyi couldn't help but secretly complain that the young lady must have taken some courses such as "How the World's Richest Man Interacts with Others" or "How to Sell Health Products to Middle-aged People".

Su Zelang was encouraged by her and became even more excited and talked eloquently.

"For love between two people, good communication and mutual understanding are more important than anything else."

Su Chengyi listened silently in the back seat, his eyes casually fixed on the rapidly changing light and shadows outside the window.

Speaking from experience? Unfortunately, this is a love story between three people.
