I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 562 Photo freezes the moment
"call--"

Su Chengyi took a deep breath and successfully blew out all the candles at once.

"Great! Then your wish will come true!!"

Chu Qingmian clapped and cheered in the darkening vision.

Lin Tong found the light switch based on his memory and turned it on again.

Suddenly regaining their vision, they all narrowed their eyes and relaxed a little.

Before Xu Yang even opened his eyes, he started yelling:

"Boss Yi, what wish did you make?"

"Shut up, it won't work if you say it out loud!"

Han Bing slapped him on the back of the head.

Su Cheng thought, it’s not a question of whether it will work or not, the key point is that the wish he made is really hard to say.

Compared to this time last year, he has experienced many more real-life beatings and has learned that "perfection" is not something that can be achieved simply by being sincere.

Therefore, his wish this year is that the people around him can live a good life.

"Have you ever made a wish for your good brother Xu Yang to grow up to be a real man?!"

Xu Yang rubbed his hands and asked expectantly.

"No."

Su Chengyi answered truthfully.

"Oh, what a pity! If I had known, I should have told you in advance. Hey, how about I light the candles and ask you to make the wish again, Mr. Yi!"

From Xu Yang's expression, it can be seen that he thinks he is very smart.

Before Su Chengyi could answer, Chu Qingmian had already started to pull out the candles.

“The ice cream is melting!”

"It may have something to do with the candlelight."

Lin Tong nodded and helped.

Han Bing pulled out a cake knife from the box and waved it twice as if nothing had happened.

Although it was a plastic knife, Xu Yang still felt a chill on the back of his neck and immediately covered the back of his neck and moved away.

"Su Chengyi, you have to eat this piece of Le!"

Chu Qingmian marked out a small area for him.

"Ah."

Su Chengyi usually turns up his disdain for sweets and hardly ever touches them, but given the situation today, it seemed a bit inhumane not to eat a little.

"Then I need to be quick!"

"I want to give birth, you eat the wood."

Han Bing poked the knife in very accurately and cut the first layer of the three-layer cake into four even pieces with the words "Happy Birthday" written on them.

"Not buddy?! What about me?!"

Xu Yang poked his head over and protested loudly.

"The two floors below are yours, don't scream."

Han Bing picked up his plate and then stuffed the knife into his hand without saying a word.

"Okay, eat quickly."

She grabbed his head as if she was soothing a dog.

Although Xu Yang was very dissatisfied with this, he also knew that he could not fight against power, so he turned his grief and anger into appetite and ate the second layer of cake in big mouthfuls.

"Wow, this cake is so delicious. The second layer seems to be filled with mango. You all should try it!"

After eating the delicious food, Da Congming quickly put his dissatisfaction behind him and used a fork to pick a piece of mango for each person.

Although everyone ate very hard and the ice cream cake tasted good, the three-layer cake was still a bit too big, and in the end the entire bottom layer of cake was left.

"Okay, now comes the much-anticipated gift segment! Applause!!!"

Xu Yang clenched his fingers into fists and pretended that he was holding a microphone.

"The first gift-giving guest to appear is Mr. Lin Tonglin! A rising star in the medical field!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tong was already extremely embarrassed and kept waving his hands to indicate that enough was enough.

He then took out a square box from behind him and handed it to Su Chengyi carefully.

"Mr. Yi, these are the headphones I picked for you. The clerk said the noise reduction function is very good and the sound quality is also good. Do you usually..."

Having said this, Lin Tong suddenly stopped talking.

He originally wanted to say that since you are a music producer, you must need such headphones for noise reduction most of the time so that you can listen to music and create in peace.

This was a gift he had thought of for a long time, and it was the most expensive one he bought with all his summer part-time salary.

Fortunately, he remembered that Zhi Jinchen's identity could not be mentioned here, so he stopped talking and said:

"You are busy with work, so you must need to hold conference calls a lot. This headset is pretty good for calls. I asked the customer service."

Su Chengyi didn't notice his sudden pause, and the others just thought it was Mu Tou's usual shy behavior and didn't take it seriously.

Su Chengyi took the headphone box. It was indeed the latest model. The price was probably astronomical for Lin Tong, who had always been frugal, but it was enough for his living expenses for one semester.

"Thank you, Mu Tou. It's very practical. I was thinking about buying it some time ago, but I didn't have time to look at it offline. You've been a great help."

"Really? That's good."

Lin Tong was obviously happy and clenched his fists in excitement.

"Wow, Mr. Lin is so thoughtful~~ Then, let's welcome the second person. As the saying goes, Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing are not as good as this Han Bingbing, Ms. Han!"

Xu Yang continued to host the show with a smile.

"piss off!"

Han Bing cursed with a smile and took out a rectangular box from the bag behind him.

As soon as Su Chengyi saw the outer packaging, he guessed what was inside and his eyes lit up.

"My gift is nothing new, it's similar to last year's, a signed Oasis album - but a complete set."

Hearing the "Wow!" sounds all around, Han Bing deliberately pretended to be a socialite and spread her hands.

"It's nothing. I have some strength. It doesn't matter."

"Thank you, Sister Bing."

Su Chengyi took the album box with a smile. It felt quite heavy in his arms.

"I don't know if I can wait until Oasis is reunited in my lifetime. If I can, I will give you more then."

Han Bing put her hands on her hips and spoke like a big sister.

"Very good, Sister Bing, can you give me Tangled Lun on my birthday? I want this too."

Xu Yang came over to join in the fun.

"Get lost, I'll give you a one-month membership of Qiuqiu Music, just be happy about it."

Han Bing pushed his head away ruthlessly.

"Alright, the next one to appear is the strongest man on earth - it's me!! Mr. Yi, please look, it's time to witness a miracle!!"

Xu Yang grabbed the tablecloth with one hand, then leaned forward and raised his hand to pull the tablecloth open.

There was actually a huge box hidden under the table. Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows slightly in shock at its size.

“Yes, this is the legendary 75192! Star Wars Millennium Falcon! An epic work, the greatest Lego! The largest and most collectible Millennium Falcon in the history of Lego Star Wars!!!”

Xu Yang jumped up and down excitedly, waving his arms and shouting, like a cheering monkey.

Su Chengyi lowered his head and laughed. He could understand why he was so excited.

The value of this box of Lego is indeed worth his excitement. It is a very thoughtful gift.

After Xu Yang finally calmed down from his excitement, he bent down and took the box out, and kept asking questions like a nodding golden retriever:
"How about it, Mr. Yi, do you like it? Isn't it super cool!!"

“Yes, yes, very cool.”

Su Chengyi patted the outer packaging box and nodded in reply.

"Tell me, is this the coolest gift you have ever received?!"

Xu Yang continued to pat his thigh and asked.

Su Chengyi was silent for a while, then slowly glanced at Miss Chu who was curiously looking at the instructions on the outer packaging.

"You know, I wanted to say yes, but last year a young lady gave me a Bugatti Veyron."

".Shit! I forgot about this." Xu Yang sighed in annoyance and laid on the packaging box, instantly losing all his strength and ability.

"So what is Sister Mian going to give this year? Last year she gave me a car, this year she's not going to give me a house, is she?"

He was obviously joking, and everyone present thought it was a joke. Just as they were about to laugh, Miss Chu slammed the table and stood up:

"Hey, hey! Who allowed you to spoil the plot?"

"."

"???"

This sentence shocked everyone.

Su Chengyi took a breath and couldn't help but said:
"Miss, you better be kidding."

"I'm not kidding!"

Chu Qingmian took out a house key from his pocket, waved it in front of him, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, it's not a big villa, just an ordinary apartment, on the second ring road, only more than 200 square meters!"

Su Chengyi almost vomited blood.

It’s only over 200 square meters. What’s the point of a flat he paid for by working overtime like a beast of burden in his previous life? !

"To be honest, I always feel like it's a dream that a rich girl like Sister Mian can play with us."

Xu Yang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

"I have known the meaning of the term 'inhumane' since I was three years old."

Han Bing laughed, having long been accustomed to her best friend's image of a little god of wealth who throws money everywhere. Any move she makes is enough to shock people.

Although Lin Tong did not have a clear understanding of housing prices, he had heard a little about it. He only knew that this thing must be more expensive than he knew, but the relaxed tone of this young lady was like giving away a toy model.

"This house is very close to your X1 studio. This way you don't have to stay in the office after get off work. You can go home and rest directly."

Chu Qingmian continued, and it sounded reasonable and convincing, if you ignore the exaggerated value.

"I have arranged for someone to renovate it in advance. I will supervise the work myself! You can move in anytime. If there is anything you don't like or are not used to, you can contact us for renovation."

Chu Qingmian took his hand, put the key in his palm, and looked at him with smiling eyes.

"Hehe, this way we will have a fixed place to go next time we get together."

This key must have been hidden in her palm for a long time, and the metal key has a warm feeling.

Su Chengyi looked into her eyes and thought to himself, the young lady must be a little conflicted, afraid that he would not accept it, and also afraid that he would frown and lecture her again.

After all, every time I gave him such an expensive gift, he always looked very embarrassed and resistant.

"Last year you gave me a car, this year you gave me a house, Miss Chu, what are you going to give me next year?"

Su Chengyi pinched her cheek and asked helplessly.

"Of course I will. I won't tell you!"

Chu Qingmian blushed and did not give a direct answer.

After a while, Su Chengyi put the key into his pocket and touched her head.

"Thank you, Miss Chu, for arranging all the important events in my life in advance. Now I am considered a successful person with a house and a car."

"It's a handy thing!"

Chu Qingmian was very happy to see that he rarely showed any sign of rejection, and she kissed him on the face with a smile on her face.

"Happy birthday, young and promising Mr. Su Chengyi."

Uncle Gao, who came upstairs after receiving the call, was initially confused about what he had to move. But when he saw the big box of Legos, a hint of emotion appeared on his icy face behind his sunglasses.

"What's wrong, Uncle Gao? Are you too cool? I'll give you a whole box when the time comes!"

Xu Yang came over with a smile and put his arm around his shoulder.

Uncle Gao turned his wrist expressionlessly, and the crisp sound of the joint made Xu Yang put away his dog claws instantly.

"Uncle Gao."

Su Chengyi greeted him while holding back his laughter.

Seeing Su Chengyi, Uncle Gao nodded slightly, then took out a palm-sized box from somewhere behind him.

"Happy birthday."

He said calmly.

Su Chengyi answered "thank you" reflexively and took the box in a daze.

It turned out to be a Polaroid camera.

"Uncle Gao, you actually know about this kind of trendy stuff that young people are following?"

Han Bing's face was full of disbelief.

"When did you buy it? I have no idea."

Chu Qingmian came over with a curious look on his face.

"I just went shopping in the mall on the first floor."

Uncle Gao explained seriously, but his unnatural movement of grabbing his tie still exposed his nervousness.

Su Chengyi could almost guess what the scene was like.

A tall man in a black suit like 007, looking like a cold-blooded killer when he raised his hand, walked into the mall and took a look around. I guess he scared the teller enough without saying anything, thinking he was here to rob.

This cool guy will definitely not ask questions honestly as soon as he comes in. Instead, he will walk around by himself first and look at the toys in the mall with the same eyes as he would look at the caliber of a gun.

Finally, when I realized I really didn't know what to choose, I went back to the counter and asked the teller for help.

Of course, the teller probably already had his finger on the police number by then.

"Hello, do you have anything suitable for young people as birthday gifts?"

"."

The teller would probably silently complain, "Brother, I've already written the third line of my suicide note and you're giving me this!"

So I carefully recommended a gadget that is popular among young people, the Polaroid camera.

Compared to a formal camera, the Polaroid camera, as its name suggests, focuses on the instant capture of photos, and the unique film texture also has a retro aesthetic.

Su Chengyi lowered his head to look at the packaging box. It can be seen that Uncle Gao still has his own considerations. Among "strawberry pink", "cream white" and "business gray", he chose the most mature and stable gray.

This might be the legendary tough guy with a soft heart, Su Chengyi laughed to himself.

Although Uncle Gao was wearing sunglasses, one could still sense the tentative and cautious look under his sunglasses.

Su Chengyi thought about it, then opened the box on the spot, put the randomly included photo paper into the Polaroid camera, and adjusted the angle of the lens.

"Come on, take a picture now."

"Great!!!"

Xu Yang and Han Bing were of course veterans and they fit into the photo very naturally.

"Uncle Gao, you are tall, please stand behind us. Xu Yang, please squat a little bit so as not to block the wood."

"No, it's okay. I'll stand on tiptoe."

After adjusting the approximate position, Su Chengyi straightened his back and raised the camera.

Chu Qingmian stood beside him with his hands behind his back, a little distance away, and pursed his lips nervously.

When taking this kind of group photo, Chu Qingmian would automatically return to the role of squad leader Chu, looking very serious.

Su Chengyi looked at the camera and counted down slowly.

"Three, two, one."

"eggplant!"

The people around him shouted in unison.

Su Chengyi put his finger on the shutter button, and a second before pressing it, he suddenly stretched out his arms and naturally embraced Chu Qingmian in his arms.

"Click."

The picture is frozen at this moment.

Uncle Gao was standing at the back, in a standard military posture, but he had quietly taken off his sunglasses at some point, making him look a little strange.

Lin Tong stood beside him and made a scissors hand gesture with great difficulty, the smile on his face still looking a little shy as always.

Xu Yang and Han Bing were on the left and right, one stuck out his tongue and made faces, while the other laughed.

Su Chengyi in the center of the picture still had that expressionless face. Miss Chu in his arms was suddenly pulled into his arms. She opened her eyes wide in slight surprise, looking delicate and lively.

No matter how many years have passed, this photo can always immediately remind people of the mood at that moment.
