I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 671 Reunion

Su Chengyi had a very long dream.

I dreamt of the school route I took when I was a child. My grandfather was still full of energy, carrying my heavy schoolbag for me. The two of us walked step by step on the muddy path after the spring rain.

The playground smelled of dust after PE class. He leaned against a deserted corner, watching his classmates playing badminton in the distance. The most popular girl, with her pretty high ponytail, was practicing her serve with a slightly clumsy gait. This was completely different from how she spoke as a student representative on the flag-raising platform. Su Chengyi silently bit into a cold popsicle.

The neon-lit posters in the subway station featured a recently popular female celebrity, her haughty gaze keeping everyone at arm's length. Su Chengyi wasn't usually interested in these kinds of things, but he felt she looked strangely familiar. The next second, he suddenly found himself sitting on the rooftop of the high school. The person from the poster had somehow appeared, smiling and gently rubbing his eyebrows.

Countless fragments of memories flashed back into his mind. This dream had lasted so long that Su Chengyi began to doubt whether it was a dream or a replay of events before his death.

Finally, he heard the beeping of the instrument, and the smell of disinfectant filled the air.

"Hey guys, has his heart rate changed?!"

A slightly surprised female voice sounded both strange and familiar.

"It seems so! What are you standing there for? Go call the doctor!!"

Another female voice screamed, and Su Chengyi's eardrums throbbed with pain.

"Senior, senior!"

This person is shaking his bed wildly.

Su Chengyi's head throbbed, her eyelids felt as heavy as lead, and her throat was so dry that she couldn't make a sound. With that sudden shake, she felt like she was about to pass out again.

Fortunately, someone stopped the reckless guy in time, leaned over, and gently checked his forehead temperature.

Su Chengyi smelled a Chinese herbal scent, which seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had smelled it before.

Driven by curiosity, he forced himself to open his eyes.

Unexpectedly, I was met with three pairs of eyes.

The three of them, who were originally in a triangular formation, bumped into each other head to head in their excitement upon seeing him open his eyes.

"Oh my god!!"

"what!"

"……Well."

All three cried out in pain, one of them clutching his forehead, tears welling in his eyes as he gripped his arm.

"Senior, you're finally awake!!!"

Senior...

Su Chengyi frowned, looking at the cat-eyed girl, and was momentarily dazed.

"Huh? Judging from this reaction, you haven't lost your memory, bro?!"

At this moment, another person came forward, staring at him with wide eyes. She was still wincing in pain from the blow, but it was not hard to tell that she was a bright and cheerful young woman.

"Hey, hey, hey, this can't be this melodramatic, can it? Are you going to get up and ask us who you are and where you are? Help! Did I just stumble into some Korean drama set? Am I going to die if I stay here any longer?! Oh my god!!"

...You sound like you're speaking Japanese, ma'am.

"Shut up! If you keep jinxing me, I'll tear you apart!! Senior, please look at me again! Waaaaah, how could this happen?! Waaaaah!"

Su Chengyi's head was throbbing from the noise of those two annoying chatterboxes, and for a moment she had the urge to close her eyes and go back to sleep.

But the bed was slowly raised a little, and then a water glass with a straw was handed to his lips.

So thoughtful! Su Chengyi turned her head with difficulty to look at the other person who had been quiet from the beginning.

Her features were gentle, her lips were pursed nervously, and she held the water glass in both hands. Her gaze and movements were equally cautious, as if he were some fragile and rare treasure.

The warm water cleared his throat and his mind.

"Sister Lin."

Su Chengyi looked into her eyes and spoke softly.

Almost instantly, tears welled up in Lin Zhiwan's eyes and fell.

"What about me?! Senior!!"

The girl clinging to his arm looked so anxious she was about to cry.

"Aren't you afraid of shaking me until I pass out again?"

Su Chengyi sighed helplessly.

"Senior! You still remember me, right?"

"I asked pitifully," Liang Nina said.

"Ah."

Su Chengyi nodded, feeling that his arm must have been bruised from being grabbed by this reckless girl.

The last remaining girl squeezed in, tilting her head curiously and asking:
"Oh my, Oppa, you haven't lost your memory, have you? And me? May I ask your name, where I live, and whether I'm married?" This guy's gloating expression was completely unlike how he would treat a patient who had just recovered from a long illness.

Su Chengyi cleared his throat and replied:

"Your name is Ye Xiaomei, you live in Lianhuagou, and you are divorced with two children."

"Heavenly Bodhisattva~~"

Ms. Ye Xiaomei immediately showed deep emotion at the sight of fellow villagers meeting.

"Su Xiaoshuai! Good heavens, I've finally found you! Your cow ate the seedlings from two acres of my land, and you, on the other hand, sneaked off to the city to enjoy yourself!"

"Do I look like I'm enjoying a life of luxury?"

Su Chengyi was successfully amused and laughed, and the tightness in her chest was relieved a little by the laughter.

"Sorry, Xiaomei hasn't been to school and her eyesight isn't very good."

Ye Ju stuck out her tongue and leaned closer to observe his expression.

"Hey, hey, he seems much better now than he did a couple of days ago. He doesn't look like he's about to die."

"If you mention that word again, I might really strangle you."

Liang Nina said in a sinister tone.

"Which word? Huh? This? Look?"

Ye Ju pretended to be stupid as always.

Liang Nina was so angry that she couldn't breathe, so she had to lie down by the bed and seek comfort from Su Chengyi.

"Look at her, senior!"

"Stop arguing, this is a hospital room."

While continuing to sip the water that Sister Lin handed him, Su Chengyi offered a perfunctory piece of advice.

What could he do? He couldn't win an argument with Ye Xiaomei.

Although I hadn't quite recovered yet, the noise from these two clowns inexplicably cheered me up.

"Squeak-"

The ward door was suddenly pushed open.

"The report shows that the recovery is going well, but when the patient will wake up depends on the patient's condition."

"Okay doctor, so the recommended treatment plan is..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Because she had already made eye contact with the person who sat up in the hospital bed.

Looking into Chu Qingmian's eyes, Su Chengyi felt as if he had been transported to another world.

long silence.

"When...did you wake up?"

She stopped, lowered her eyelashes, and asked softly.

"just."

Su Chengyi subconsciously reached out his hand to her and waved it.

Seeing this, the three people surrounding the bed, though each with their own thoughts, still made room for her.

Some were unwilling, some watched with great interest, and some knew they should gracefully leave.

Chu Qingmian walked to the bedside, but did not take his hand. Instead, she looked down at his palm.

Su Chengyi had just woken up and hadn't regained much strength; her raised arm quickly fell limply to the ground.

Still unwilling?

The thought had barely formed when it was interrupted by a hug.

Warm breath fell on his shoulder, and the girl in his arms trembled all over, like a butterfly fluttering its fragile wings.

In an instant, all the panic, worry, and helplessness she had felt over the past few days were transmitted through her body temperature, so Su Chengyi tried to raise his arms again and gently hugged her back.

This should have been a warm and romantic scene.

But when Su Chengyi inadvertently raised his eyes, he saw another girl quietly looking at him in the shadows of the sunlight at the door of the ward.

Even though summer wasn't over yet, it seemed as if the first snowflakes were falling from her eyes.
