I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 210 This world is really not bad

There was also a voice message of a few seconds attached to the bottom of the photo. Su Chengyi casually picked up a finished mineral water bottle, got up and walked to the balcony of the classroom.

"Look, is this your classmate's home? How did it get like this?"

Su Chengyi threw the bottle in his hand into the trash can, remained silent for a while, and then replied with a brief message.

He leaned on the balcony and looked into the classroom through the glass window.

Chen Jinzhi lowered his head and was writing something seriously.

Sensing his gaze, she raised her head and smiled slightly, the corners of her eyes and brows showing a gentle arc.

Su Chengyi suddenly thought of the slow-motion moments of flowers blooming in the documentary. The peaceful atmosphere of the years was vividly rendered at this moment.

At a time like this, it seems inappropriate to mention something less than wonderful.

He made a decision, smiled at her as well, and returned to his seat.

Starting tomorrow is the three-day holiday before the college entrance examination.

On the one hand, it is to disinfect and arrange the examination room. As the largest examination center in Tang'an City, No. [-] Middle School has also received the most attention.

Principal Xiang has been emphasizing at the meeting for many days that there should not be any mistakes.

On the other hand, it is also to allow the soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield to recuperate and maintain the best condition.

But Li Lu emphasized it three times in a row in the class group.

While having a good rest at home, be sure to take the time to review.

Don't act like the college entrance examination is over from now on, like a wild horse running wild.

Then all the efforts of the previous three years would be in vain.

He also shared the addresses of several study rooms in urban areas, which means that students who cannot control themselves at home can go to the study rooms to physically control them.

But the holiday is still tomorrow. Everything at school is as usual today, even the evening self-study is arranged normally.

Although you can choose whether you want to join or not, for the Rocket Class's group of roll kings, there is no "don't" option.

Only Su Chengyi picked up his schoolbag and left early.

The summer nights came late, and even though it was already early seven o'clock, it was still bright outside.

When Su Chengyi walked to the school gate, he first took out a stack of banknotes from the nearby ATM and put them into his pocket, and then came to the bus stop.

After a bumpy ride, we arrived at the familiar intersection of the Olive District.

I was a little nervous when I came here for the first time, but now I'm familiar with it.

Even some of the indigenous people already knew him.

The aunt sitting at the door of the laundry eating melon seeds was very happy when she saw him and greeted him:
"Hey! What a careless person."

Su Chengyi paused in a hurry and smiled politely:
"Auntie."

"Are you coming to play with the Lin siblings again? Oh, I'm afraid Zhiwan is not here. I saw her going out this morning. Tongtong is about to take the exam, and she has been very worried these days."

Seeing that the aunt's conversation had already begun, Su Chengyi quickly interrupted:

"No, auntie. Do you know where I can buy paint here?"

"Yes, yes, come from this way. Go to the intersection in front and turn left. There is a small three-wheeler parked at the door."

Auntie reached out and patted off the melon seed shells stuck to her body, stood up and showed him the location.

"Okay, thank you auntie."

Su Chengyi nodded and thanked him and continued walking forward.

The aunt looked at his leaving back and sighed.

As a well-known know-it-all in the Olive District, she certainly knew why Su Chengyi went to buy paint.

But this kid is a nice person and good-looking. It can be seen from his behavior that he has a good upbringing.

She actually really didn't want him to wade into these muddy waters.

Like a moss-covered bluestone step, most people would choose to cross it.

He is willing to bend down and clean it up, which is naturally good, but over time the moss will still cover it again.

One person's efforts are useless.

Su Chengyi walked to the door of the store that the laundry aunt mentioned, and found that it was not a regular store specializing in selling paint, but just a hardware store that "sells paint."

The man who looked like a boss was watching a small TV with his legs crossed. What seemed to be a popular soap opera back then, the sound of the heroine and her husband's family fighting could be heard harshly.

"Hello."

Su Chengyi yelled and got no response, but the boss's legs were still shaking.

"Hello!"

He raised his voice and knocked on the messy table.

At this time, the boss seemed to be shocked and started to play:

"Eh!"

The boss breathed a sigh of relief when he saw in front of him only a young boy in school uniform with a green face.

"What?"

"Buying paint, are there any other colors?"

Su Chengyi pointed to the paint bucket in the corner.

"It's gone. All that's left in the barrel is white."

The boss brought the bucket to him.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and looked at the dots of red traces around the white barrel, as if they had been dropped accidentally.

He didn't ask any more questions, but pointed to the painting tools and spray bottles on the shelf next to him.

"I want these too."

When he walked to the alley with the paint bucket, Brother Xiao Fei, who was waiting there, waved to him, immediately threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and stepped on it with the toe of his inferior leather shoe to crush it.

"Why did you bring this guy here by yourself? Just say it via WeChat."

Brother Xiaofei took the paint bucket from his hand and handed it to the boy next to him.

"fine."

A few people took a few steps forward and arrived at their destination.

Su Chengyi raised his head and looked at the familiar three-story building.

The exterior is old and covered with moss and weeds everywhere.

No matter how clean and tidy Chen Jinzhi was on the inside, she still couldn't take care of these external things.

But that wouldn't be like this.

The walls were covered with dazzling red paint, with threats and threats written densely on them.

"Pay your debts or pay with your life."

"Pay back the money!"

"Chen Wende pays back the money, or I will kill your whole family!"

I didn't expect to learn Chen Jinzhi's father's name from this source.

Brother Xiao Fei couldn't help but sigh when he saw it:
"It's been the same way for many years, nothing new."

Sensing Su Chengyi's scrutinizing gaze, he coughed and explained:

"Harm! Aren't I forced by life? Do you think I want to do that?"

"Brother Xiaofei, generally speaking, will these debt collectors really harm the debtor's family?"

Perhaps it was because the writing on the wall was too scary, but Su Chengyi still felt uneasy.

"It depends on the situation. Generally speaking, it won't happen. They want money, not lives."

Brother Xiao Fei dusted off the cigarette ashes on his clothes and patted Su Chengyi on the shoulder.

"Furthermore, even if some desperadoes want to do things like kidnapping, it must be worth the risk, right? For example, if the other party is a rich master who deliberately refuses to give it, like on the wall, you put it He squeezed everything out and he didn’t even have a few drops of oil and water, so why bother?”

makes sense.

After all, Brother Xiao Fei had come through, and with his comfort, Su Chengyi felt a little at ease.

"I owed some money back then, and I was just hiding around, just like a shady mouse. When I bought a sesame seed cake on the street, when someone looked at me, I thought it was a debt collector."

He still seems to be frightened when talking about his experience back then.

Was it the one who was being called for debt?

Su Chengyi just thought that he was forced to join the debt collection team because of the pressure of life.

"Like this, it's usually related to gambling. When I was taken into the pit, I ran away as soon as I entered. I carried a train and ran away overnight. Even so, I was still covered in fish."

Brother Xiaofei's tone suddenly became serious, and the hand on his shoulder was a little harder.

"Listen to my brother's advice. As a student, you are still a good student with top grades and a bright future. Don't wade into this muddy water. This is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled."

Brother Xiaofei is indeed a good person, and I am willing to say these words to him from the bottom of my heart.

pity.

He understands the reason.

Su Chengyi smiled and replied:

"I will not fill this bottomless pit, I will take her to escape from the bottomless pit."

Brother Xiaofei was stunned by this answer, and then he remembered the pretty face of the female classmate from this family.

Suddenly there was a feeling of enlightenment.

"Good boy."

So he no longer tried to persuade, but raised his hand to signal a few younger brothers who were standing far away to avoid suspicion, that they could come over and help.

Several people worked together and soon painted the ruined brick wall white.

Although it looked a lot more pleasing to the eye, in such an alley, the sudden appearance of a completely white area was still a bit jarring.

The visual impact seen in the middle of the night is probably no less than the red font just now.

Su Chengyi took out the spray bottle he just bought from his pocket, thought for a moment, and then stood on the small bench that Xiao Fei brought just now to paint the wall above.

He rolled up his sleeves, raised his hand and sprayed.

After each word was written, Brother Fei, who was standing behind and looking up, silently recited another word.

Su Chengyi's movements were crisp and neat, and the handwriting he sprayed out was as free and flying as when he held the pen.

——"The ambition to never fall into the clouds."

On the white wall with dark blue fonts, it looks like a masterpiece of calligraphy.

It comes from "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion". This ancient text was memorized by two people at the same time.

Chen Jinzhi thought that the top grader in this kind of article should be familiar with it.

Unexpectedly, Su Chengyi had forgotten it a long time ago and was even more stumbling than she was carrying it.

So the two of them memorized it word for word from beginning to end.

"If you don't meet Yang Yi, you caress Ling Yun and feel sorry for yourself; when you meet Zhong Qi, how can you be ashamed to play the flowing water."

The moon is above the branches, and the night is like a curtain covering this busy street.

Dafei Ge’s BBQ stall has opened. Now that summer is here, it is the most popular time for barbecue and shaved ice.

Sitting at a lively food stall with your family, eating a few skewers of hot barbecue, and drinking a cup of watermelon shaved ice is a pastime for people in the Olive District after a hard day's work.

Su Chengyi sat in the corner, eating the watermelon shaved ice without watermelon specially customized for him by Da Fei.

Although the large watermelons cut next to them are brightly colored, they look very sweet at first glance.

But Su Chengyi didn't like to eat melon food, and he didn't like anything with the word "melon" on it.

The crushed ice melted quickly in his mouth, and Su Chengyi scrolled through the messages on his phone boredly.

The news in the class group is constantly being refreshed. Of course, it is a group chat with only classmates that was established behind Li Tianwang’s back.

Most people are complaining that today's learning efficiency is horribly low, and they really can't calm down and so on.

Yang Liu and Su Zelang sent messages less frequently during this period, for fear of disturbing him while studying.

Usually, the accumulated chatter of the day is reduced into one message, which is a long paragraph.

There is only the group chat of the "Space Saving Team" established by Xu Yang, which is against the world, and there is no content about the college entrance examination at all.There are a lot of plans for graduation travel.

Xu Yang meant that he would go straight to the airport the night after the college entrance examination.

Of course, this was quickly dismissed by Han Bing.

Because there is a graduation ceremony after the college entrance examination.

The graduation ceremony of No. [-] Middle School was extremely grand. Because of this, the coming-of-age ceremony originally scheduled for the senior year of high school was canceled and held together with the graduation ceremony.

The route drawn by Xu Yang is even more outrageous. How should I put it, it feels like "Around the World in Eighty Days".

This point was dismissed by Miss Chu.

Because the eldest lady's travel is always slow-paced and easy, how could she accept such a plan that is like rushing to reincarnate? !
Xu Yang was hit one after another, and in the end he could only move Su Chengyi out and let him make the decision.

Su Chengyi replied simply:
"Let's talk after the exam."

To be honest, Su Chengyi didn't feel nervous at all about his college entrance examination.

I worry more about other people.

Xu Yang's performance has always been very unstable. Occasionally he can rise to the top once or twice, but then fall back again the next time.

As his half-tutor, Su Chengyi certainly knew the reason.

The randomness of the questions had a great impact on his performance.

If the exam covers areas he is familiar with and interested in, then everything will be fine.

Otherwise, it’s over.

Xu Yang seems to be heartless and simple-minded, but in fact it is because he has always had a smooth life since childhood and has never suffered any big losses.

If he fails the college entrance examination this time, his whole person will probably change.

This was not the result Su Cheng expected at all.

The same goes for Lin Tong. There is no problem with his strength.

But the mentality is very important.

If he had performed abnormally because he was too nervous, he might have killed himself in front of Sister Lin to apologize.

Finally, there is Chen Jinzhi.

Although her mental endurance is very strong, she has no problem studying.

But Su Chengyi was the most worried about her situation. Just thinking about it now made her a little nervous.

Everyone else's problems can still be solved. Xu Yang can only repeat his studies for one year at most, and Lin Tong can go to a very good university even if his performance is abnormal.

And the most important thing is: they all have family and friends who love them very much.

For Chen Jinzhi, the college entrance examination is not only an exam, but also the best opportunity to escape from his original family.

She knew it very well, so she studied hard during this period.

if fail
Su Chengyi took a spoonful of ice and put it in his mouth, trying to calm himself down.

At this time, news from Chen Jinzhi came.

"Can you go somewhere with me? I'll wait for you at the door."

"it is good."

Su Chengyi quickly replied.

He stood up, but did not leave directly. Instead, he pulled Little Feige, who was greeting the guests, to the corner.

"Brother Fei."

"What are you doing? What happened?"

Seeing his serious face, Brother Xiao Fei became nervous and simply took him to the room where the ingredients were kept.

Seeing that there was no one around, Su Chengyi took out the wad of banknotes he had taken out this afternoon from his pocket and stuffed it into his wrinkled suit pocket.

"What are you doing?"

Brother Xiaofei was shocked and immediately took out the money and wanted to return it to him.

"You listen to me first."

Su Chengyi blocked his rejecting hand,

"There is not much money here, 1000 yuan. I need you to do me a favor. My classmate's family has a very special situation. Her father is a scumbag.

The college entrance examination is coming soon, and I am very worried that the debt collectors will do something drastic.You have many acquaintances here, and I would like to trouble you to keep an eye on them for me.

If they come to your door to cause trouble, please help call the police as soon as possible, and then contact me. "

Su Chengyi spoke in a very sincere tone, obviously deciding after careful consideration.

"For such a small matter, you can just say no and it's over. Don't do this."

Brother Xiaofei waved his hand, still unwilling to accept the money.

"No, this is also something that takes time and effort. This is my own scholarship, not my family's money."

Su Chengyi picked up the banknotes that fell on the ground during the rejection, folded them, and put them back in his suit pocket.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaofei. My classmates are still waiting for me, so I'll leave first."

There was really no other way, so Brother Xiaofei had no choice but to chase him out, pick up a cup of shaved ice and hand it to him.

"Bring some to your classmates."

Su Chengyi smiled and took it.

When he reached the entrance of the alley, Chen Jinzhi was standing next to the renovated wall, his head lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Su Chengyi walked to her side and handed over the shaved ice.

"If you feel cold, just eat the watermelon on top."

"Ah."

Chen Jinzhi took it, scooped up a spoonful of watermelon, and put it to his mouth first.

Su Chengyi looked into her beautiful eyes and couldn't say "I don't like watermelon".

Forget it.

He lowered his head and was about to bite it, but Chen Jinzhi retracted his hand.

"It doesn't look like you like it."

".Is it obvious?"

"Ah."

The two walked to the bus stop at the intersection. Chen Jinzhi lowered his head and glanced at the time on the screen of his mobile phone.

The lights of passing cars flickered by from time to time, and her expression was dark and unclear.

Although Chen Jinzhi looks like this most of the time, it is different now.

Su Chengyi tilted his head and looked at her for a while, but still couldn't describe what was different.

A bus stopped and Su Chengyi followed her footsteps and got on the bus.

The car was empty except for an old lady taking a nap in the front seat.

The two of them walked to the window seat in the last row and sat down tacitly.

Su Chengyi raised his head and glanced at the route, only to realize that this bus was going to the outskirts of the city.

"."

Su Chengyi was a little confused, where were he going so late at night?
"I'm not trying to kidnap and sell you."

Perhaps sensing his confusion, Chen Jinzhi seemed to come out of his trance and smiled softly.

The slightly cold fingertips came closer and rested on his fingers.

In this way, it feels more like a human trafficking strategy.

A serious beauty trap.

Su Chengyi cursed secretly, but quickly held her hand instead.

"Will you blame me?"

"Ok?"

Su Chengyi didn't know why she asked this.

"I said before that I would be honest with you. But I didn't do it. I didn't expect that you would still find me."

Chen Jinzhi moved and rested his head gently on his shoulder.

"will not."

Su Chengyi grabbed a few strands of her hair and twisted them around his fingertips.

I was actually a little angry at first, wondering why she always had to take matters into her own hands when things happened.

But then I thought about it, she had been like this for the first half of her life.

How could he still criticize her harshly for such a thing.

The vehicle drove smoothly, and the light and shadow of the street lights passed by one by one. Chen Jinzhi slowly closed his eyes.

"are you sleepy?"

Su Chengyi came closer and asked in her ear.

Chen Jinzhi didn't open his eyes or speak, he just shook his head.

Looking very tired.

At this moment, she was pale and sickly, like a fairy who suddenly lost her magic power. Even the myriad changes had faded away, briefly revealing her fragile and childish true face.

Until he got off the bus, Su Chengyi thought it was caused by the intense study during this period.

After getting out of the car, the scene in front of him shocked him.

Here he has been.

A deserted cemetery.

He and Chen Jinzhi had both been here before when they were playing tricks on Old Man Peng.

Why are you here?
Su Chengyi subconsciously looked at the person next to him.

Chen Jinzhi still said nothing and just led him inside.

After walking to the corner of a cemetery and seeing the unfamiliar name on the simple tombstone, Su Chengyi dared to speculate on the possibility.

Chen Jinzhi lowered his eyes, bent his knees, and knelt gently on the ground.

Her voice was very soft, but floating in the silent night, Su Chengyi could hear her clearly.

She said, "Mom."

So Chen Jinzhi’s mother is also buried here.

So what was she thinking and what was her mood like when she came here last time.

Su Chengyi felt as if all the bones in his body were frozen, and he didn't know what to say.

"In the past, when I really wanted to talk to you, it was always when I felt that I couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to give up.

You've heard a lot of depressing words over and over again over the years, right?Do you feel a little annoyed? "

Chen Jinzhi spoke very slowly, as if he was really chatting with his relatives buried under the soil.

"I always wonder, if death is a bad thing, why would you make this choice?

If death is a good thing, then why don't you take me with you?
Now, I seem to understand a little bit. "

Her voice was still the same as before, light and airy.

Su Chengyi's heart felt as heavy as lead.

In the past days, there were thousands of grievances and hardships, and Chen Jinzhi could only tell them to his mother under the soil.

He took a deep breath, squatted down, and slowly said:
“This world is not so good that one would not want to leave, but it is not so bad that one would want to leave immediately.

She has seen enough of the bad in the world, but she still hopes that you can see the good that she has not seen. "

After hearing what he said, Chen Jinzhi raised his eyes and smiled gently at him.

"I saw it. So I brought you here so she could see it too."
