I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 663 Moonlight
After arriving in the provincial capital by plane, I transferred to a train to the county seat, and then waited for a bus that ran every hour.

Having traveled a long and dusty journey, Su Chengyi pulled his mask up a little.

He gave up his seat to an elderly man carrying a basket who boarded later. He could only sit back next to the driver where the fuel tank was located. The smell of gasoline was so strong that he even felt a little carsick.

In his haste to leave, Su Chengyi hadn't had time to change into more casual clothes. Wearing his usual white shirt and black trousers, he looked somewhat out of place on the bus.

However, his two brothers next to him were even more out of place.

Xu Yang continued his flashy, rooster-inspired nouveau riche style, while Xiao Zheng looked like he had copied some trendy person from a magazine, acting like a weird, effeminate guy. If the old lady at the village entrance saw him, she would probably chatter on for ages.

The two had been complaining the whole way, and now they were probably tired, so they both fell asleep in stiff and awkward positions.

Su Chengyi was not sleepy at all. He quietly looked out the glass window at the overlapping green mountains and the bright sunshine.

This is a place devoid of any industrial development; as the tide of time surged forward, it overlooked these mountains surrounding Changyuan Village.

Both of his girls are here.

Su Chengyi pressed play, and the sound of the bus engine was silenced by the music in her headphones.

"There will always be a place in your heart where I can stay, and I will return to your world, bridging the time difference of love."

I vaguely remember the last time I traveled this far was when I went to Lin Tong's hometown.

However, when we got off the bus, we were almost at Zhuanqiao Village, and the terrain there was an endless plain, which felt like a fairyland with small bridges and flowing water.

The scenery before us, however, had little to do with those words. Behind the desolate and dilapidated station stretched endless mountains, which would make one think of "human trafficking cases" or "fallen girls".

Su Chengyi took off her mask and casually brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead.

Still half-asleep, Xu Yang leaned against Xiao Zheng, rubbed his eyes, and asked innocently:

"Have we arrived yet?"

"What do you think."

Su Chengyi glanced at his watch; it was already dusk.

"We still have about two hours of mountain road to go to our destination. Let's hurry up and try to get there before dark."

"what?!"

Xu Yang's last vestiges of sleepiness vanished at his words, and he shook Xiao Zheng beside him in disbelief.

"Brother Zheng! Is what Boss Yi said true? Two hours? On a mountain road?"

"If you keep waving your brother Zheng around like this, he's really going to throw up."

Xiao Zheng said expressionlessly, his face pale, probably from motion sickness.

"Does this look like a place for volunteer teaching? It's like having two eggs under your eyebrows—all you can do is blink, you can't see!"

Seeing that neither of them was joking, Xu Yang scratched his face, looked at the winding mountain road, and sighed deeply.

"Do Han Bing and Sister Mian have special treatment as volunteer teachers, with private cars to pick them up? It seems impossible for her to walk such a long mountain road."

"Ha, the only way to get up this winding and narrow mountain road is by either an oxcart or a donkey cart."

Xiao Zheng gave a wry smile.

"Stop worrying about it. It's getting dark soon, and I have a feeling there might be wolves or wild boars in these mountains."

Su Chengyi bought three bottles of mineral water from a nearby vendor and tossed one to each of the two men.

"Don't scare me, okay? The story of being patted on the back by a wolf while walking at night is a childhood nightmare for me, Mr. Yi!"

Xu Yang took the bottle of mineral water and took a big gulp, only to suddenly realize that the words on the bottle were "Wahahaha," and he immediately felt as if he had been poisoned.

Walking on mountain paths is much more tiring than walking on flat ground, but Xu Yang is a sports student after all. Although he complained incessantly, his steps and breathing were quite steady, and he felt that he still had the strength to sing a folk song at the top of his lungs.

Su Chengyi looked thin and frail, and after walking for almost an hour, she remained expressionless, showing no intention of stopping to rest.

It's just tough on Xiao Zheng, an urban white-collar worker who has long relied on four-wheeled transportation. Right now, he really hopes that some villagers will lead a oxcart or donkey cart by, so he can cling to their legs and call them godfather in order to hitch a ride.

But soon, the vibration of his phone in his pocket interrupted Xiao Zheng's thoughts. They hadn't really entered the mountains yet, and the phone still had a weak signal.

"wait for me."

Xiao Zheng waved his phone in acknowledgment.

Su Chengyi nodded, then pressed Xu Yang, the restless dog, down and sat him down on a nearby rock.

"Holy crap, it's burning my ass."

Xu Yang grinned.

"."

As Xiao Zheng answered the phone, the smile gradually disappeared from his face, and his expression became serious.

It seems something bad has happened.

Su Chengyi frowned slightly.

"Young Master, we have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

Xiao Zheng hung up the phone and sighed.

"good news!"

Xu Yang raised his hand to answer, he desperately needed some good news right now.

"The good news is that we don't have to climb any more mountains now."

"Hondon? Nangdeshiga?"

Xu Yang was so happy that he breathed out like a golden retriever.

"Does it mean a car is coming to take us away?!"

"The bad news?"

Su Chengyi asked.

"The bad news is, we have to walk back from here now." Xiao Zheng's face looked worse than if he had cried.

"."

"."

However, compared to the mere hour-long mountain road, what Xiao Zheng said next made Su Chengyi's heart leap into her throat.

The call I just received was from Lulu, from the set of "Rainy Season".

The scene to be filmed early this morning is the final one, in which the female lead, played by Chen Jinzhi, jumps off a cliff.

The long, rainy season ended with her disappearance, and the first rays of morning sunlight shone through the clouds on the horizon—a rather stream-of-consciousness ending.

After careful consideration, the director decided to leave the scene to the actors to improvise.

This leap could carry the meaning of a carefree liberation, or it could be a desperate helplessness, or it could be a resolute gamble... The director behind the scenes is eagerly anticipating Chen Jinzhi's interpretation of this ending.

After all, Chen Jinzhi never disappointed him throughout the entire filming process. In fact, the entire script was adjusted based on her performance to achieve the best performance effect. This is entirely due to her personal ability, which is rare in the entire industry.

The filming of the final scene was extremely difficult and risky. Although the actors were equipped with invisible harnesses and safety nets were pre-installed a few meters below the cliff, anyone would feel fear standing in front of a precipice.

However, this was also considered by the director, because the natural fear of facing a cliff is exactly the kind of genuine emotion that the character would have.

"Attention! Three minutes until sunrise. Everyone, to your positions!"

Chen Jinzhi stood on the edge of the cliff, braving the early morning wind.

The safety rope prepared by the crew was hung around her waist, cleverly concealed by the flowing skirt.

Contrary to all the director's expectations, her expression at this moment was calm and gentle.

As the distant mountains rise and fall, the morning star gradually disappears, and the sky brightens.

The female protagonist has reached the end of her life, but her composure makes people think that she has just embarked on a brand new journey.

And the rainy season will never come again.

Chen Jinzhi lowered his eyes and stared silently at the sheer cliff beneath his feet.

Any human being would experience instinctive fear, yet her breathing remained perfectly steady, as if she had stood in this position countless times before.

As everyone clenched their fists in tension, her slender figure plummeted downwards like a falling snowflake.

Before the director could even marvel at the beauty of the scene, he heard screams from the crew on the other side.

The sound of ropes being pulled and the commotion of safety personnel rushing forward instantly filled our ears.

"The safety rope has come loose!"

"Hurry up and save people!"

"Iris!"

……

……

……

"Fortunately, the safety net below did not malfunction, and Chen Jinzhi himself only suffered some abrasions and is currently at the town's hospital."

As he spoke, Xiao Zheng pressed his chest with lingering fear, feeling his heart rate soaring to its limit.

"The original plan was to wait until the filming was finished before going to find her, but this accident happened unexpectedly. Young master, shall we go to the hospital right away?"

"Holy crap, that's terrifying!! I always thought these kinds of scenes were special effects, I never imagined they had to be real locations, this is way too damn dangerous!"

Xu Yang stared wide-eyed in disbelief, quickly pulled Su Chengyi up, and said hurriedly:

"Come on, Mr. Yi, let's get to the hospital right now! Can you still walk? Do you want me to carry you?"

"..."

Su Chengyi lowered her eyes to conceal her chaotic thoughts.

"I'll go alone."

Finally, he spoke calmly.

……

As night fell, Su Chengyi stood at the hospital entrance.

He walked briskly down the mountain without stopping, and only when he reached the town did he take a motorcycle taxi.

Lulu was clearly quite frightened; her hair looked like a bird's nest after being bombed. She simply explained the situation to him and pointed out the location of the ward.

The town's hospital wasn't very good, but according to her, the examination results showed mostly superficial injuries, so the crew decided to observe her overnight and then transfer her to the provincial hospital the next day.

After being rescued, Chen Jinzhi remained very calm and cooperated fully with the investigation into the cause of the accident.

The accident occurred, likely due to aging facilities and equipment, despite routine inspections.

For the time being, Su Chengyi had no interest in considering issues such as holding people accountable.

He stood at the door of the ward, not raising his hand to knock for a long time.

Until a soft voice came from the ward:

"Please come in."

His tone was gentle, as if from another world.

Su Chengyi paused for a moment, then pushed open the door.

Chen Jinzhi lay quietly on the hospital bed, seemingly having already guessed that it was him outside the door.

She was wearing a large hospital gown, and her pale, thin wrists were wrapped in bandages, like broken porcelain.

In an instant, the moonlight outside the window spilled down like a curtain, just like her gentle gaze as she looked at you.
