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

Chapter 176 Hostility
Chen Che suspected that the restaurant he chose used pre-prepared dishes...

Although there were many customers in the restaurant, the food was served unexpectedly quickly. In only about ten minutes, a large bowl of pickled fish was served on the table.

Not only that, such a big store doesn’t allow customers to choose the spiciness level, they can only follow the spiciness level specified by the store...

These are all signs of pre-prepared meals.

However, the atmosphere when the two of them chatted during the meal was quite good.

"What has Sister Dai been busy with recently?" Chen Che picked up a large piece of fish and asked casually, "If you are a senior, you should have no classes in school."

"Well, starting from the second semester of the junior year, there are actually fewer classes. If you work harder in the first two years, you may only have one or two classes a day in the last semester."

Shen Dai nodded and continued, "As for me, I've been drawing comics recently and watching online courses for the postgraduate entrance examination with my roommate... It's too difficult to find a satisfactory job now. I'd better study for a few more years. With a higher degree, it will be easier to find a job."

"Sister Dai, are you planning to apply for the postgraduate degree of our school?"

"Yeah, if I could, I would definitely choose this school." Shen Dai sighed and continued, "But I feel a little worried. I haven't been in a very good state of study recently. After school starts, I will go directly to the school library to review. Maybe the atmosphere will improve and I will be in a good state."

Shen Dai said a lot in one breath. After drinking a sip of sour plum juice, she asked, "What about you? Have you thought about what you want to do after graduation?"

“I haven’t thought about it much.” Chen Che shook his head frankly.

He has been a bit lazy since he was young. To put it nicely, he is content with what he has and has an easy-going personality; to put it bluntly, he is just a lazy person.

He had never really thought about what he would do after graduating from university...

"You don't have to worry about anything. If you really can't make it, you can just inherit the family business." Shen Dai teased, and then said in a joking tone: "When I go back, I will ask my father to work hard as well. Fifty years old is the right age to make breakthroughs."

"What family business? Just a few hot pot restaurants. If I really take over, they might go bankrupt in a few years." Chen Che waved his hand and teased, "Sister Dai, you should let your uncle work hard. Maybe after you graduate from graduate school, you will become a rich second generation."

"Forget it, forget it. He's already old. Let him fight and struggle... I get goosebumps just thinking about it."

"Hahaha..." Chen Che couldn't help laughing.

While laughing, he couldn't help but think about what he would do in the future.

Chen Zhengyang opened five hot pot restaurants, but the catering industry has not been doing well recently, and many restaurants have closed down. Although Zhengyang Hot Pot is not as bad, its profits have also dropped significantly.

But Chen Che really didn't have much interest in hot pot... He ate it quite a bit, but he wasn't trying hard in this area.

Chen Che thought about it and finally decided to give up. If he went on to fight, he might ruin all of Old Chen’s hard work.

Queen Mother Ruan also has her own business. She and a few friends opened a handmade jewelry store.

But Chen Che was even less interested in this kind of thing.

After much thought, Chen Che still felt that this kind of life of lying down and doing nothing was more suitable for him, relying on stocks to support himself every day.

If I really want to start a business, I feel that private equity is more suitable for me.

……

The two chatted while eating.

A little after twelve o'clock, the two walked out of the hotel side by side.

Shen Dai knew that Chen Che had something else to do in the afternoon, so she prepared to say goodbye after lunch.

Chen Che walked her to the gate of the community, waved goodbye, and left.

……

the other side.

After eating the lunch prepared by his aunt at home, Xiao Yang returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

What Liu Jie said last night kept repeating in his mind.

"Brother Yang, from the very beginning, you were deceived by Jiang Ye..."

"He just can't stand you, and he wants to please Chen Che, so he deliberately put on a show for you..."

"I didn't want to do this, but he threatened me, and I had no choice..."

Liu Jie's words became clearer and clearer, and the anger that Xiao Yang had suppressed with great difficulty surged into his mind again.

He knew that he might have been set up, but what he didn't expect was that Jiang Ye played him like a dog from beginning to end.

He had always looked down on Jiang Ye, thinking that this guy had no other advantages except for his better physical fitness.

Simple-minded, strong limbs, ordinary family background, average ability, grades are always at the bottom of the major every semester, and emotional intelligence is not very outstanding... This is Xiao Yang's entire impression of Jiang Ye.

In Xiao Yang's opinion, once out of school, people like Jiang Ye won't even have any intersection with him.

However, now he discovered that Jiang Ye, whom he had always looked down upon, was able to deceive him, and he didn't even notice anything unusual during this period.

This already shows that Jiang Ye's ability is completely above his...

This was totally unacceptable to Xiao Yang. If the person who had deceived him like this today was Chen Che, he would also be angry, but he would not be as angry as he was now to the point of losing his mind.

After all, the anger brought by being defeated by an opponent who is completely stronger than oneself is far less than being defeated by someone whom one has never looked up to...

After all, the former will only make people angry, but the latter will make people doubt the world and themselves.

This is exactly what Xiao Yang feels at this moment. This incident clearly tells him that he is not as good as he imagined, and he can even be played around by some very ordinary people... But his self-esteem and pride make him unable to accept this easily.

The conflict between his inner self and reality caused him to constantly waste his energy. During this period, he blamed all the anger he felt on Chen Che and Jiang Ye.

……

"Sister, can you help me take a look at this dress?"

Lin Shiwei was wearing a white T-shirt on the upper body and a pair of denim shorts on the lower body. She trotted out of the bedroom, ran to Lin Shiqing, and looked at her sister eagerly.

"It looks good. Every outfit you wore before looked good. There's no need to keep picking." Lin Shiqing let out a long sigh, a little helpless. "You carefully selected every outfit before, but now any one you choose looks good. There's really no need to do this."

"No, this is my first time going out with him, so I must dress nicely, otherwise he will think I don't respect him." Seeing her sister's helpless look, Lin Shiwei smiled, sat next to Lin Shiqing, hugged her arm, and said coquettishly:
"Sister, please help me pick again. I'm going there alone tonight, so I must do my best."

"Okay, okay, I'll help you choose. Stop shaking, it makes me dizzy."

Lin Shiqing pulled her arm out, pointed to the bedroom, and sighed, "Go and choose. I'll help you see the effect."

"Thank you, sister. You are the best."

……

After reading for two hours, he felt that the time was about right, so he went into the bathroom and took a shower.

After taking a shower, the next thing to do is naturally to blow dry your hair.

Chen Che felt that sometimes blowing hair and cutting hair had some similarities, and both looked best when blow-blowing (cutting) were halfway through.

So after blowing his hair half dry, Chen Che turned off the hair dryer and chose a white shirt and a pair of light grey casual trousers.

Just as he was about to go out, he saw Song Ya sitting on the sofa, giving him a resentful look.

"What's wrong?" Chen Che poured himself a glass of water and said, "Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?"

"You went out to play in the morning, and you have to go out again in the evening." Song Ya sniffed and said unhappily: "I asked you out, but you were just too hot to go out. When other sisters asked you out, you were free, right? Twice a day, you are really a master of time management."

"Then let's go to the movies the day after tomorrow, the one you mentioned last time, and have dinner together afterward?"

"Deal, it's a deal. The one who cheats is a puppy."

"Okay, the one who lied was the puppy." Chen Che nodded, "Then I'll leave first. Bye."

"Bye...come back soon."

"Okay, I got it." Chen Che waved his hand. When he was leaving, he suddenly had an illusion. He always felt like he had a puppy at home, holding the owner's trouser leg and asking to go downstairs for a walk.

……

The advantage of living in the same building is that you don’t have to wait for girls downstairs like a fool.

No one knows how long it will take for the girl's mouth to heal...

Maybe it's really coming soon, but it's also possible that they just got up and will have to take a shower, wash their hair, put on makeup, and concealer...

Now you just need to notify your phone and then go out.

As soon as Chen Che closed the door, he heard a burst of brisk footsteps approaching from afar and gradually becoming clearer.

Four or five seconds later, Lin Shiwei appeared in Chen Che's eyes and waved at him with a smile.

Lin Shiwei wore a white shirt and a black A-line skirt today, which, combined with her tall figure, showed an elegant and intellectual temperament.

The only flaw is that although Lin Shiwei has a good figure and good looks, her temperament is still a little immature, which looks a little inconsistent with this outfit, as if a child is wearing adult clothes.

Lin Shiwei also looked at Chen Che's outfit today.

He was also wearing a white shirt, but he was wearing light grey casual pants. With his slightly wet hair, he looked like a boy next door. He was a typical handsome salty guy.

"No, handsome guys with salty looks are the type that are more attractive the longer you look at them, but Chen Che's appearance is already stunning..." Lin Shiwei muttered a few words in her heart. She really couldn't figure out what Chen Che's style was called, but he was very good-looking anyway.

"You look handsome today?" Lin Shiwei smiled and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Let's go, I've booked a hotel."

"Huh? Sister Shiqing isn't going?" Chen Che was stunned. Didn't they say before that the three of them would go out to eat together?

"Well, she has something to do. Let's go first. I'll tell you on the way."

……

"Ha, Sister Shiwei went back to school for rehearsal today?"

"Yes, she's going to be the host. She's back at school for rehearsal today. She might not even go home tonight." Lin Shiwei nodded and said, "Didn't your counselor notify her?"

Only then did Chen Che remember something...

It seemed that this incident did happen, and the instructor seemed to have told him to send this message to the group... Although he was the class monitor, Chen Che was mostly playing badly, and most of the time, things were left to the deputy class monitor to solve.

After all, Chen Che ran for temporary squad leader just to get the system's reward. Who knew that he would be successfully elected squad leader after the military training.

All I can say is that things are unpredictable.

However, Chen Che felt that when the second year of college started, it would not be his turn to run for class committee again...

"Don't you usually check the class chat? I was originally worried that you might have signed up and were going to rehearsal, but now it seems that you don't know anything about this..."

Chen Che: o(〃＾▽＾〃)o
"Didn't you sign up either?" Chen Che asked casually. In his opinion, the welcome party was no different from a courtship meeting. If you performed well and were not bad looking, you would at least have the priority to choose a mate for a period of time.

Of course, there are also some "old artists" who really love performing and are even willing to sacrifice their right to choose a spouse during their four years of college for the sake of performing.

"I don't have any talent, what can I perform?" Lin Shiwei waved her hand, "I can't just stand there for a few minutes in a cosplay costume."

The two chatted and laughed, and soon walked to the restaurant that Lin Shiwei had booked. What surprised Chen Che was that the open-air western restaurant that Lin Shiwei had booked was exactly the place where he had invited Song Ya to dinner for the first time.

Chen Che was not very interested in Western food, so after his last visit, he never came again.

But Lin Shiwei seems to like this mood very much.

"I ordered a basic meal on my phone, but it's definitely not enough for two people. You order first." Lin Shiwei handed the phone to Chen Che and said, "You're welcome. The video you shot for me last time went viral. My income this month will skyrocket."

"Okay." Chen Che took the phone and browsed the menu. He didn't find anything he particularly wanted to eat, so he ordered some barbecue and salad, then returned the phone to Lin Shiwei.

"Hey, is this all you want to order?" Lin Shiwei clicked her fingers quickly, selected all the ones she thought were good, and then clicked submit. The order information was directly transmitted to the kitchen.

While waiting for the food to be served, the two chatted and talked about Xiao Yang.

"I really admire him. He was always suspicious when we were in love, pretending to be loyal to love, but in the end..." Lin Shiwei snorted and said disdainfully, "In the end, he cheated on me. The day he quarreled with me, he had already slept in someone else's bed."

"Hmm?" Chen Che raised his eyebrows, his tone full of surprise, and said: "No way, I think Brother Xiao Yang likes you very much, is there any misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" Lin Shiwei curled her lips. "What kind of misunderstanding could there be? The girl's recording was sent to my phone, and now she's planning to sue him."

"Ah, what's going on..."

When your relationship with a girl has reached a certain level and you want to get closer to her, criticizing her ex-boyfriend is definitely a good choice - of course, you must start criticizing when the other party mentions this topic, rather than actively leading the topic in that direction with a strong purpose.

As for those who regard this as a test and think that saying bad things about others in front of girls will make them fall in love with you... there is no need to guess for those who have such thoughts. If they are the ones, they are all little virgins.

After the meal, both of them enjoyed it very much. Seeing that it was almost time, they prepared to leave.

However, just as he walked to the elevator and the elevator door opened, Chen Che saw the familiar burgundy hair and the small receptionist in the gallery.

……

Two minutes ago.

"Sister, I see you haven't taken any action recently. Are you planning to give up?"

After pressing the elevator floor, Su Yu looked at Su Zhiyu behind her and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you long ago that he is so handsome. You left without saying goodbye. He must have been stupid to wait for you."

"No." Su Zhiyu was not at all broken by Su Yu's provocation, and said calmly: "I have my own plan."

"Hey, I have my own plans, tsk tsk tsk ..."

"What do you, a little virgin who has never been in love, know?" Su Zhiyu snorted coldly. This sentence instantly broke the defense of Su Yu, who had been in a provocative state.

"You've only talked about it once, why are you pretending in front of me!" Su Yu puffed up her cheeks, exhaled a long breath, and said, "Come on, didn't you say you have a plan? Tell me about it."

"Summer insects can't talk about ice. Even if I tell a little virgin like you, you won't understand."

Su Zhiyu pretended to be strong, but she was indeed a little flustered in her heart.

Her plan was indeed going forward, but the follow-up was a little different from what she expected.

Her original plan was to lend the book to Chen Che, and then continue to provide her with opportunities to meet through the cycle of "borrowing books - exchanging books".

Not only that, although she made a lot of annotations on the English translation of "The Human Bone Jigsaw", there are still many words in it that are difficult for normal people to understand.

Especially the slang, which can easily lead to the incoherence of the context due to improper understanding...

Su Zhiyu knew that Chen Che's English was good, but in her opinion, it would be difficult for him to fully understand the book. If he tried to discuss it with her...

First talk about the plot of the book, then talk about life... step by step, boil the frog in warm water, and finally win in one fell swoop.

But the problem is that the other party has never contacted her in all these days. Even when Su Zhiyu took the initiative to talk about books, Chen Che just said, "The book is very good, thank you, I will return it to you after reading it."

Obviously, this plan failed...

However, Su Zhiyu did not feel discouraged. She had prepared more than just this one plan. If she implemented them one by one, there would always be hope of success.

Ten seconds later, the elevator reached the top floor. Looking at the familiar figure outside the door, Su Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes subconsciously fell on the girl next to Chen Che.

In less than three seconds, Su Zhiyu had a rough assessment of this girl.

She has a pretty face and a good figure, and wears luxury goods, but they are all entry-level. Her financial situation is better than that of ordinary people, but only slightly better.

To be fair, the other party's conditions were very good, but in Su Zhiyu's opinion, that was all.

In terms of appearance, figure, temperament, and family background, the other person is no match for me, so what can I do?

……

After the elevator door opened, when Chen Che and Su Zhiyu hadn't figured out what to say yet, Su Yu spoke first.

"Handsome guy, long time no see." Su Yu waved her hand and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you here again. Are you coming here to eat too?"

"Yeah, I just finished eating." Chen Che nodded and said, "What a coincidence, we can meet here too."

"Yeah, my cousin mentions you every day at home. If I hadn't dragged her here today, I would have thought she came here because she knew you were here..." Su Yu was watching the fun and didn't mind making things worse. "Sister, say something. Don't you mention him every day at home? How come you can't say a word when you really see him?"

Su Zhiyu was almost furious at her cousin's instigation, but she still had a gentle smile on her face. She looked at Chen Che and said, "What a coincidence, who is this?"

When she said "Who is this?", Su Zhiyu was looking at Lin Shiwei.

"My friend, Lin Shiwei." Chen Che turned his head to look at Lin Shiwei and introduced her, "Her name is Su Zhiyu, she is..."

Before Chen Che could finish his words, Su Zhiyu suddenly spoke:

"Hello, my name is Su Zhiyu, I'm Chen Che's ex-girlfriend...a good friend."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Zhiyu stretched out her hand towards Lin Shiwei. Although the smile on her face was elegant and decent, the aggressiveness of "there can't be two tigers in one mountain" was not concealed at all.

Lin Shiwei subconsciously wanted to step back, but at the moment when she was about to take a step, reason came back to her mind. She stretched out her hand and said in the calmest tone possible:
"Hello, my name is Lin Shiwei."

……

Before this, Lin Shiwei always felt that today was her lucky day. She and Chen Che started their first date, and the date was normal without any inappropriateness. The whole process was perfect.

However, it was not until this moment that Lin Shiwei realized that it was not that she was lucky, but that all the bad luck was concentrated at this moment.

Why can I meet the ex-girlfriend of the boy I like while having a meal? This ex-girlfriend is a perfect hexagonal display.

It’s not like Lin Shiwei hasn’t seen beautiful girls before, but the girl in front of her put too much pressure on her.

A straight nose, rosy lips, fair skin, a pair of gentle and affectionate willow-leaf eyes, and a small, eye-catching teardrop mole at the corner of the eye.

The black dress wrapped around her tall and slender figure, outlining the perfect "S"-shaped curve. Coupled with her long burgundy hair, she looked charming and enchanting. Her every move exuded a bewitching charm.

If that was all, Lin Shiwei wouldn't feel this much pressure...

As soon as the other party opened her mouth, the aggression and oppression she displayed were enough to wake up anyone who was obsessed with her charm from their reverie, making them realize that although the blooming rose is gorgeous, it has thorns that can prick people's fingers and make them bleed.

……

After a brief exchange with Lin Shiwei, Su Zhiyu did not say anything more to her. Instead, she put away her fierceness, looked at Chen Che, and said in a gentle voice:

"Is the book I lent you last time good?"

"It's very exciting. I'll finish reading it soon. I'll find time to return the book to you in a few days."

"Don't worry. I brought a lot of books back this time. I think you should like them... If you have time, you can come and sit with me. I'm the only one at home, so I won't disturb you."

When Su Yu heard Su Zhiyu say "I'm the only one at home", she couldn't help but look at her with shock and questioning.

What do you mean there is only one person in the family? Am I not a human being?

Or have I been kicked out of the house?

"Okay, let's talk when we have time." Chen Che nodded, then looked at the time on his watch and said, "It's getting late, let's go back first."

"Have a good trip." Su Zhiyu smiled gently, then glanced at Lin Shiwei casually.

Lin Shiwei suddenly felt like she was being watched...

The next second, a big warm hand held her, and the warmth flowed along her wrist into her whole body, dispelling the vague chill.

"Let's go." Chen Che's voice was calm and his tone was gentle.

"Okay." Lin Shiwei smiled, then took Chen Che's hand, and they walked into the elevator together.

The moment the elevator door closed completely, the smile on Su Zhiyu's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a frosty look.

"Sister, stop looking and go eat. I'm starving."

Su Yu rubbed her body, not daring to let Su Zhiyu continue like this.

Although she would usually bicker with her cousin for fun, Su Yu was still a little scared when Su Zhiyu was really angry, so scared that she didn't even dare to speak.

After all, ordinary people just get angry when they are angry, but when my cousin is angry, it is easy for her to do something crazy.

Now Su Yu didn't know whether Chen Che's luck was good or bad.

If an ordinary person met a beautiful, long-legged, big-breasted, rich lady like my cousin, he would have probably surrendered long ago. But this guy has been able to hold on for so long, which shows that he is quite capable.

but……

Su Yu knew her cousin very well. Although she was not generally keen on something since she was a child, once she set her eyes on something, she would definitely get it.

"Oh..." Su Yu sighed and decided to keep a closer eye on her cousin during this period. She couldn't really let her go crazy.

Su Zhiyu was still standing in front of the elevator, the scene of the two of them leaving hand in hand constantly appearing in her mind.

After a moment, she slowly exhaled a breath and calmed her thoughts.

"Sister, let's go eat." Su Yu said cautiously.

"Okay, let's go." Su Zhiyu turned around with a gentle smile on her face, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Sister, what should we do next?"

Su Yu didn't dare to continue teasing now, and quickly used the word "we" to indicate that they were in the same camp.

"Take your time. There is still a lot of time. There is no need to rush." ​​Su Zhiyu found a seat and sat down gently. Then she looked at the scenery outside the guardrail, as if she was talking to Su Yu or comforting herself, and murmured, "Take your time."

……

The elevator door opened, and the two walked out of the building. Chen Che gently pulled his hand out.

Feeling the warmth leaving her, Lin Shiwei felt a sense of loss. After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked:

"Junior, is that girl your ex-girlfriend? She's so pretty."
