I don't want to fall in love, I just want to get rewards

Chapter 167 Come to the door
As soon as it was half past nine, Chen Che sat down in front of his computer desk and started watching the market.

The market remains sluggish, the broader market is still falling, and trading volume is somewhat low.

He used 10% of his position to buy several short-term stocks and kept 30% of his position for long-term investment. When he couldn't find any suitable stocks, Chen Che decisively stopped.

He was not in the mood to read today, so he did not force himself. He found a movie with a decent rating online and then walked out of the study.

A moment later, he walked back to the study with a 2-liter bottle of Coke in his left hand and a bag of snacks in his right hand.

Watching a movie is always accompanied by snacks and drinks.

He picked a foreign disaster movie. It didn't have much substance and the plot was simple and crude, but the action scenes were quite good.

……

After lunch, Chen Che became interested, so he picked a suspense novel from the bookshelf and started reading it while sitting on the sofa.

Song Ya sat next to them, reading online novels on her phone.

At about two o'clock, Chen Che finally finished reading the book and closed it with satisfaction.

Hearing the "click" sound, Song Ya put down her phone, looked at Chen Che, and said expectantly:

"Brother Che, how about we go out to watch a movie this afternoon? I heard there's a really good movie coming out recently, shall we go watch it together?"

"It's too hot today." Chen Che shook his head. "Wait a few days. The temperature will drop a little in two days. Let's go out and have a look then."

When the temperature is too high, Chen Che still hates going out. He likes to sweat through exercise, but he hates the feeling of sweating due to the heat.

"Okay then." Song Ya was not disappointed. She just mentioned it casually. Besides, it was a bit hot outside, so staying at home was a good choice.

Just as Chen Che was about to put the book back on the bookshelf, his cell phone suddenly lit up.

【WeChat: You have an unread message】

Chen Che picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and then raised his eyebrows slightly.

[Su Zhiyu: I made some cake today. It was pretty good. I want to give it to you to try.]

[Su Zhiyu: Can I bring it to you now? ]

[Su Zhiyu: (panda, looking eagerly, jpg)]

【Chen Che: No need, let’s talk about it later when we have the chance. 】

[Su Zhiyu: I also brought you other things. ]

[Su Zhiyu: Don’t you like Jeffrey Deaver very much? I bought a few of his books when I was studying in the UK. I’ll send them to you this time.]

These words directly hit Chen Che's itch.

I have to admit that although they have only been together for about a year, Su Zhiyu still knows Chen Che quite well in some aspects.

During his second year of high school, Chen Che was extremely obsessed with detective novels. Ever since he bought Deaver's "The Empty Chair" at a roadside stall, Deaver became one of Chen Che's most admired authors. Later, he even searched for his works on the Internet.

Unfortunately, at least in China, Deaver can only be regarded as a somewhat niche writer, and his influence is far less than that of authors such as Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen.

Although with a population of 1.4 billion, even the most niche hobbies have a large audience, the problem is that many of Deaver's books have not been introduced into China...

Although Chen Che is no longer as enthusiastic about mystery novels as he was before, what Su Zhiyu said is still somewhat tempting.

"Xiao Ya, a friend of mine may come over later. Will it affect you?" Chen Che turned to look at Song Ya.

After all, he now shares a house with Wen Ning and her daughter. If he wants to bring someone with him, he will always have to ask his "roommate" for his opinion.

In most cases, Chen Che didn't like to embarrass others. If Song Ya showed any reluctance, he would just take Su Zhiyu to one of the other houses.

Although several families have moved in, there are still seven empty houses in the building. You can just pick one as a place for the two of you to chat.

"Ah, I'm fine. Do you need me to step aside for a while?" Song Ya blinked and looked at Chen Che.

"No, just do your thing."

"Oh." Song Ya nodded, hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"female."

As soon as she said the word "female", Song Ya couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

A girl can come directly to a boy's house, this relationship must be very close, she can't be Che's girlfriend...

"No, I'm still at home. If we were really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, you wouldn't let me stay here." Song Ya bit her lip, thinking in her mind...

"No matter what, the relationship between these two people is definitely not simple." Song Ya took a deep breath and thought to herself that it would be better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go!
"Then when will she come?" Song Ya asked calmly.

"Not sure, but it should be soon." Chen Che moved his fingers on the screen and quickly typed a line of words.

【Chen Che: How long will it take you to arrive? 】

[Su Zhiyu: It’s almost time. Your home is in Building 12, Room 401, right?]

【Chen Che: Yes.】

After putting down his phone, Chen Che didn't think much about it. He prepared to go back to the study to put away his books, and then go to the bathroom to wash his face.

Chen Che had just walked into the bathroom, and Song Ya was not going to sit around and was going back to the bedroom to put on makeup.

Although she was quite confident in her appearance, Song Ya felt that she should not underestimate the opponent. After all, since he could touch her "crystal", he was most likely a strong enemy.

However, just as Song Ya got up, there was a knock on the door.

"So fast?" Song Ya's eyes flashed with panic.

She is now in a completely natural state. If the other party comes with full makeup, she will be suppressed from the beginning...

"Don't do it if you've washed your hair, put on a facial mask, applied facial cream, worn daily contact lenses, applied foundation, concealer, setting makeup, eyebrows, eye shadow, and eyeliner." Song Ya muttered to herself as she quickly walked to the door.

"Who?" Song Ya asked symbolically.

"I..." The voice outside the door stopped as soon as it sounded, and asked after a moment: "Is this Chen Che's house?"

"Yes." Song Ya took a deep breath and then opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Song Ya froze in place.

Since childhood, Song Ya has always known that she is very beautiful, and she is quite confident about her appearance.

Although there is some gap between her and those beauties, as long as she puts on makeup and dresses well, the gap can be narrowed infinitely, or even surpassed.

But at this moment, standing in front of the girl outside the door, Song Ya felt that her breathing had stagnated, and she couldn't help but have the thought of "escaping" in her heart.

So beautiful...so beautiful...

For a moment, Song Ya couldn't think of what words to use to describe this girl. The only thing in her mind was "She is so beautiful."

Fair skin, silky burgundy hair, gentle and charming eyes.

The black skirt fits tightly to the body, outlining the graceful figure; the straight and slender yet voluptuous legs are wrapped in black stockings, which look charming and alluring, making people want to check the texture of the stockings with their hands or directly carry the legs on their shoulders.

Apart from a pair of pearls hanging on her ears, she doesn't have any jewelry on her body, but she still gives people a feeling of nobility and elegance.

When standing in front of this girl, Song Ya felt a strong sense of oppression. This sense of oppression was not one-sided, but an all-round crushing of her appearance, figure, temperament, outfit, and makeup.

Song Ya has always been confident in her looks, but at this moment she feels like an ugly duckling. Her existence is only to highlight the elegance and nobility of the white swan in front of her.

"Who are you?" Su Zhiyu narrowed her eyes and looked straight at Song Ya, with no trace of joy or anger on her calm face.

Song Ya swallowed, feeling a little timid for some reason.

"She is the one who came to my house. I don't need to be afraid of her. Calm down! Calm down!"

Song Ya kept comforting herself in her heart, trying hard to suppress her timidity and panic, which made her expression look a little calmer.

But how could her crude disguise be hidden from Su Zhiyu?

"Who are you?" she repeated the question.

"I, I am..." Song Ya really wanted to say "I am Chen Che's girlfriend", but she didn't have the confidence to say it.

She had a feeling that once she said this, the situation would get out of control immediately, and she did not have the courage or confidence to confront the woman head-on.

On the other hand, Song Ya was not sure whether Chen Che would cooperate with her. Once Chen Che refused to cooperate, this sentence she said out of momentary anger would soon make her a school belle.

"My name is Song Ya, I'm his sister, who are you?"

"Sister? I don't remember him having a sister." Su Zhiyu's eyebrows showed some inexplicable smile, stretched out her hand, and said in a warm voice: "Hello sister, I am your brother's daughter... um, ex-girlfriend."

Ex-girlfriend... This word was like a thunder, exploding heavily in Song Ya's ears, making her brain a little dazed for a moment. She reached out her hand blankly and shook hands with Su Zhiyu.

"Okay, sister, can you let me in first?" Su Zhiyu smiled. Her tone was gentle, but it made people feel a little condescending, as if it was an order rather than a request.

Song Ya felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to do anything offensive. She quietly turned sideways and made way for Su Zhiyu.

After entering the house, Su Zhiyu took a quick look at the environment inside the house, then walked to the dining table and gently put down the schoolbag she was carrying.

"Where is your brother?" Su Zhiyu looked at Song Ya and asked.

"He's..." Before Song Ya finished her words, the bathroom door was suddenly opened, and then a clear voice sounded in the room.

"It's here so soon?" Chen Che strode towards the dining table, feeling a little surprised.

He had just sent the message when he arrived home the next second. It was probably because his car had already stopped at the gate of the community when he sent the message.

At the same time, Chen Che also looked at Song Ya and Su Zhiyu, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He originally wanted to use Song Ya to discourage Su Zhiyu's initiative so that she would not bother him every day...

But now it seems...

Apart from anything else, just looking at Song Ya's timid appearance, like a little quail, you can tell that she was hit hard by Su Zhiyu.

"I just walked in and I was hit like this. Sister Dai at least managed to maintain her outward appearance." Chen Che sighed in his heart and then strode forward.

"Yeah." Su Zhiyu immediately suppressed her sharpness and aggressiveness, showing a gentle smile. At the same time, she opened her schoolbag and took out three lunch boxes.

"I made some dessert today. I thought it was good, so I thought of sending some to you."

Su Zhiyu opened the lunch box as she spoke.

Chen Che glanced down and saw that the food boxes contained cheese biscuits, cream cakes, and peach cakes...

"I did a good job, didn't I? I practiced for a long time after going abroad. It looks much better than the first time we did it."

Su Zhiyu raised her head and looked at Chen Che with a smile.

When they were still together, they went to a dessert shop to make these little desserts...

As for the result...

Not only are most of the products deformed, but the sweetness is also far beyond the limit, making people feel a little sick after just a few bites.

Although the finished product is not very good, the process is still quite fun...

At this moment, Song Ya was completely confused by Su Zhiyu's performance...

No, when she just came in she was full of charisma, giving people an attitude of "I am the queen and I will outshine all the other girls". How come she has become like a gentle and considerate wife now?
Where is the queen just now?
"It looks delicious." Chen Che nodded and said, "I want to read a book, is that okay?"

"No problem." Su Zhiyu took out three books from her schoolbag and placed them on the table one by one.

The Bone Crusher, The Empty Chair, and The Seventh Solution

“You will probably like these three books.”

"Thank you." Chen Che nodded, sat down at the dining table, and then chose "THE BONE CPLLER" to read.

"The Human Bone Jigsaw" can be said to be one of Deaver's best works. Unfortunately, Chen Che had not been able to find the resources on the Internet before. Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to read this book as soon as possible.

"Sister, come sit with me for a while and try the dessert I made." Su Zhiyu sat down and then looked up at Song Ya, as if to invite her.

"No, I still have some homework to finish, so I'm going to make up for it now." Song Ya lowered her head, and finally came up with an excuse, then walked towards the bedroom dejectedly.

Su Zhiyu also lowered her head, a smug smile on her lips.

Half of the summer vacation is over, there is no homework left...

……

Chen Che quickly got into the state.

His English is pretty good, with a score of over 130 in the college entrance examination, but it is still quite difficult for him to understand this purely English work.

Fortunately, Su Zhiyu made a lot of comments on the article, and combined with Chen Che's already good vocabulary, he was able to finish reading it smoothly.

Just as Chen Che was watching fascinated, a spoon scooped with cream cake was quietly brought to his mouth.

Chen Che opened his mouth subconsciously, and then a sweet but not greasy sweet taste came into his mouth.
