I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 315: The eldest lady’s thoughts are the best in the world.

Ten minutes between classes in high school never seemed to be enough.

If you take a nap, you will start class as soon as you open and close your eyes; if you come back from going to the toilet and want to blow some air in the corridor to clear your head, the class bell will ring again; if you are hungry and want to go to the cafeteria, then You have to hurry up even more and run as fast as you can along the way.

Generally speaking, Chu Qingmian is the type who rushes to the cafeteria in a hurry. I don’t usually like running, but at times like this I can run faster than a rabbit. I often have to decide what to buy in the cafeteria before get out of class ends, and just buy it quickly when I get there.

When you come back, you have to keep an eye on Li Tianwang's movements, otherwise you will be scolded by her.

Su Chengyi's ten-minute break is different from ordinary students.

There was no one to chat with him anyway, so for him there was basically no difference between class and get out of class.

There was a lot of noise around him, but he sat quietly and continued to slowly push his formula.

Chu Qingmian looked at the students in blue and white school uniforms who came out for a walk during the ten minutes between classes, but her mind recalled the appearance of Su Chengyi in the past.

In the bustling city of Chengmen, he was still concentrating on reading, and he seemed to be a bit of a fairy and an outsider.

No wonder the ancient poem says: The house is in a human environment, without the noise of cars and horses.

Now that I am out of it, I realize that ten minutes is not very short, it is enough to do a lot of things.

The class bell rang, and the students hurried back to the classroom. The brief excitement ended, and silence returned to the playground.

Su Chengyi looked at Xu Yang and Han Bing who were walking and chatting on the runway. They had already walked around and passed by the lawn again.

Xu Yang was still so stupid that he couldn't help but shoot in the air after taking only two steps, and Han Bing still had a look of disgust on his face.

The orange cats in her arms were still sleeping soundly, and Chu Qingmian stroked their backs very gently.

Su Chengyi did the opposite and kept stroking against the direction of the hair, making the hair on Ju San's back stand on end, as if he had been electrocuted.

It happened to be the one with the best temper among the siblings, and it remained silent. The other kittens might have bared their teeth and bared their teeth to attack.

Thinking of something important, Chu Qingmian lowered her head and pondered for a while, and finally said:

"Su Chengyi, are you free next Sunday?"

"I'm not a prophet, how do I know if I'll be available next Sunday?"

Su Chengyi said slowly.

In fact, as soon as Chu Qingmian said these words, Su Chengyi roughly guessed what she was going to say while she was lowering her head and thinking.

The eldest lady's thoughts are the easiest to guess in the world.

Next Sunday is Chu Qingmian's birthday.

"What, think about it now!"

Chu Qingmian was a little anxious, and the originally smooth cat hair was scratched into a mess in her hands.

"Next Sunday."

Su Chengyi deliberately lengthened his tone and looked at Chu Qingmian's nervous movements.

"My mother's side——"

Chu Qingmian's heart was in a state of confusion and she pursed her lips.

"Nothing."

Su Chengyi took a big breath and continued:

"My dad's side - nothing seems to be going on."

Only then did Miss Chu finally realize that this bad guy was deliberately teasing her.

"Su Chengyi!"

"Okay, nothing's wrong."

Su Chengyi laughed and pointed at Ju Er in her arms.

"You're going to make us all bald."

When Chu Qingmian heard what he said, she panicked and stopped to comfort him.

"But this is Tachibana!"

Tachibana looked very smart, he had already slipped away far away, and was stretching very gracefully.

After Chu Qingmian calmed down Ju Er, who was already a little hairy, she said awkwardly:

"Then if you're fine, do you want to come to my birthday dinner?"

Birthday dinner.

Su Chengyi couldn't help complaining in his heart, "Good guy, this wording feels different from common people like me."

As soon as you hear it, you can tell that it is a business banquet where people come and go, and there is a strong atmosphere of money.

"There won't be many people. Well, maybe a little bit. But no one will bother you, right? It seems like they might."

Chu Qingmian overturned herself several times in one sentence, and by the end she felt less and less confident.

Although she had emphasized to Chu Yuanjiang many times not to invite too many people, that was obviously impossible.

Every birthday in the past, the ceremony would be extremely grand, and the people who came to congratulate her would be like an assembly line that could never stop.

All kidding aside, the gifts you receive would literally take a room to fill.

She hasn't opened more than half of last year's gifts yet.

The reason for all this is also very simple. Ninety-nine percent of the guests are not known to Chu Qingmian. They are so attentive just because she is Chu Yuanjiang's daughter.

Chu Yuanjiang's only daughter and the future sole heir of the Offshore Group.

This status is valuable enough for them to spend all their material and financial resources to please it.

Expensive gifts and respectful demeanor, just to get the "thank you" from Chu Qingmian, who was dressed in fine clothes and smiled politely.

what's the function? Chu Qingmian was helpless, and she couldn't remember who it was afterward.

Unlike the client who was very resistant, the old father Chu Yuanjiang seemed to attach great importance to this form.

On the one hand, he feels that his daughter's birthday must be celebrated in such a grand manner. Isn't that why he works so hard in his career?

On the other hand, such a birthday party also tells all colleagues in the industry that Chu Yuanjiang only has such a daughter, and everything in the offshore group will only belong to her in the future.

In this way, he was building a broad road for Chu Qingmian's fledgling career.

How to put it, it is mainly about smooth sailing, and all the levels in front of you have been sorted out by Dad first.

All sensible people know that they should be welcomed with good food and drink, and then sent off in a large sedan chair. If anyone is ignorant, they can only ask the guards with swords in the background to come on stage.

Chu Yuanjiang's thoughts were obvious, and he had no intention of hiding them, so Su Chengyi guessed his intentions after just a little thought.

But Miss Chu didn't like it very much.

Ever since she was a child, she had been envious of her classmates who could spend their birthdays with only close friends and family.

While Xiao Chu Qingmian was tremblingly holding up orange juice and chatting politely with the adults she didn't know, other children could go to the amusement park and play freely all day long.

Maybe this is called a siege. People outside are trying their best to get in, but people inside are looking at the square sky and just want to escape.

Chu Qingmian said that Chu Yuanjiang only promised to block all media attention this time, and it was just a private gathering for insiders.

Anyway, it can be considered progress.

However, if Su Chengyi comes to attend, since he is the guest brought by the protagonist, he cannot avoid introducing him.

Chu Qingmian sighed softly, he must not like this very much.

But this birthday is a little different than before. It is her eighteenth coming of age ceremony.

Of course she wanted to spend this relatively important moment in her life with the person she liked.

When he was worried, Su Chengyi beside him said something lightly.

"Okay."

"what?"

Chu Qingmian was stunned, obviously not expecting him to agree.

"I'll attend."

Su Chengyi cleared his throat and emphasized again.

As if she was afraid that he would regret it, Chu Qingmian repeatedly confirmed it like a wheel.

"really?"

"real."

"Really?"

"really."

"Su Chengyi, you are a puppy when you say you are lying."

"Liar is a puppy."

It was rare that Su Chengyi didn't deliberately play devil's advocate, and responded to each sentence one by one.

Miss Chu was so happy that her eyebrows were curved, her dimples were shallow, and the sunshine made her smile very beautiful.

"What gift do you want?"

Su Chengyi felt that such a smile was very comforting, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

"I'm happy if you can come to the dinner. No gifts are needed."

Chu Qingmian is probably completely immune to things like gifts. She is tired of seeing all types of gifts that are priceless, original, and durable.

Su Chengyi felt relieved and stopped asking questions. But despite what he said, he would still give it away.

Although you can't give away a big toy like a Bugatti Veyron, this ceremony is still necessary.

Never go to a dinner party empty-handed, this is basic etiquette.

But when he was really thinking about what to give, Su Chengyi's straight-faced nature was exposed again.

Last time on Chen Jinzhi's birthday, because the training base was closed, he just set off fireworks for her outside and did not prepare a formal gift.

Giving gifts to girls is both easy and difficult.

Because it’s easy to guess what they like. Exquisite cosmetics and cute plush toys are enough, and adding a bouquet of flowers will be a sure winner.

Just like giving a gift to a boy who can use PS5 and mechanical keyboard without thinking.

But the difficulty is also here. Wanting to highlight your feelings in these cookie-cutter gifts is the real problem.

Su Chengyi lay on the bed at home, thinking about the ceiling for a long time, and finally decided to seek help from relatives and friends outside the venue.

The first person I contacted was Xu Yang. Although this guy was famous for his intelligence, he had a lot of tricks. In addition to being stupid about the girl you like, you may have some special insights on giving gifts.

"Do you have any idea?"

After the call was connected, Su Chengyi got straight to the point.

Xu Yang first beat his chest at the receiver for a long time, sighing that the iron tree was blooming. He didn't expect that the straight man of steel still had such a heart. It was so moving.

Su Chengyi thought that he had something to ask for, so he had to resist the urge to hang up.

After Xu Yang finished sighing, he finally got to the point. He said mysteriously:

"Mr. Yi, girls like Sister Mian lack everything, you know that, right?"

"Ah."

Nonsense, this is simply the most obvious thing in the world, Su Cheng thought.

"So, the value of the gift is not important, the intention is the most important."

Xu Yang talked eloquently.

Although it was all nonsense, it was in the right direction. This was beyond Su Chengyi's psychological expectations, so he was still listening carefully so far.

"So! Mr. Yi, brother, let me give you a trick."

Xu Yang lowered his voice mysteriously.

"You might as well give yourself to her."

"."

Su Chengyi's fingers clenched the phone tightly.

"After the birthday dinner, the tired sister Mian returned to the hotel couple's suite you booked, and suddenly found that the bed was covered with rose petals, and you were lying among the petals!

When the atmosphere is beautiful, everything comes together! "

"roll!"

At this moment, Su Chengyi regretted that she had asked Xu Yang to ask this question, and hung up the phone with a bang.

Damn it, I need to give him a little elbow kick next time we meet.

Looking at the address book, Su Chengyi called Han Bing.

When you are in trouble, it’s okay to look for your best friend, right?

If we want to talk about understanding of preferences, then Han Bing is naturally better than others.

They grew up together and were good friends who talked about everything.

As soon as the call was connected, Han Bing's sinister voice came out.

"Hey, you're a rare visitor."

".Something."

"You want to ask what gift to give Mianmian, right?"

Han Bing hit the nail on the head and saved Su Chengyi the trouble of organizing the language.

"Correct."

"As for material things, Mianmian doesn't lack anything."

Han Bing said leisurely.

"What she wants is very simple. It just depends on whether you want to give it to her or not."

"."

What's the matter with being so incomprehensible?

Despite this, Su Chengyi roughly guessed what Han Bing meant.

The last time when Chu Qingmian and she were trapped in the elevator, he told her the story of "The Monkey's Paw".

None of the three wishes Chu Qingmian made were related to any physical items.

The first wish is that he can like her more, the second wish is that he can admit that he is her boyfriend, and the third wish is that the two of them can get out of the elevator now.

The strange thing is that as soon as Chu Qingmian finished speaking, the two of them were saved.

Although they knew it was a coincidence, the Monkey's Paw was a very strange story, and the price to pay for the wish to come true was huge. Therefore, such a coincidence made both of them feel a little scared.

It took several days to recover and put the incident behind him.

But it can also be seen from here that Chu Qingmian's wish is only related to him.

The first wish is more illusory, but the second wish is actually very simple.

Han Bing was targeting him for this matter, and Su Chengyi knew it.

"Is there any substantial gift?"

He asked in a different way.

"Tsk."

Children cannot be taught.

Han Bing interpreted his avoidance as the straight man's low emotional intelligence and replied angrily:

"As long as it's from you, Mianmian will like anything. It would be a bit disingenuous if others decide what to give. Let me give you a suggestion.

It’s best if you can participate in the production yourself. It’s a bit DIY, you know? Mianmian will be very happy that way. "

To be honest, Han Bing is still more reliable than Xu Yang, at least the advice she gives is very practical.

Su Cheng thought that there are many things that can be made by DIY, but at the same time, if you want something with high value, there will be fewer choices.

The first thing he thought of was jade carving, but this is not a craft that can be learned in a short time. If you want to carve beautifully, you need to study the skill at least in years.

After having a general direction, Su Chengyi dialed the last contact in the group of relatives and friends.

Lin Tong is also a smart person. He knows the purpose of Su Chengyi's call.

It's just that the sound on his end was a little intermittent, and it seemed that the signal was not very good.

"If you want value and intention to coexist, perhaps, customized luxury goods? Bags, or jewelry or something."

Although Lin Tong gave his opinion, he really didn't know much about this aspect and was only speaking based on his limited impression.

Su Chengyi thinks this is a good direction. Customization means that he can add some special elements according to his preferences.

In this way, the value of the gift can be obtained without losing the heart.

Su Chengyi thought for a while and asked again:

"Did you encounter any trouble when you returned to your hometown recently?"

The reason why Lin Tong did not participate in this back-to-school event was because he and Sister Lin returned to the village together.

Since the last incident, Lin Zhiwan's feelings towards the people in the village have become much weaker.

This time I returned to the village to offer incense to Mother Lin before the New Year.

"It's no trouble. I heard that we were going home, and the village chief even came to my house to visit."

Lin Tong smiled and said:

"Mr. Yi, the last time you pretended to be a reporter, you really scared him."

Su Cheng realized that the lie was full of loopholes and his poor acting skills, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

It's so deceptive. If only I had studied for a few more days, I wouldn't have been deceived like this.

"Okay, contact me anytime if you need anything."

After giving one last warning, Su Chengyi hung up the phone.

After these few phone calls, most of the gift selection was settled, and the next step was to officially start preparations.

But Su Chengyi didn't know much about luxury goods.

If it was a car or a watch, it would be okay. The key point is that it is something that girls like, so he would completely turn a blind eye.

So, among the people he knows, who knows him better?

Su Chengyi thought for a long time and found a friend in the WeChat list who had no chat history at all.

Half a minute later.

Zou Lian's furious voice sounded on the other end of the receiver.

"Su Chengyi, play your uncle's voice!"

　Thanks to book friend Mr. Power and the only god bishop for the reward, and thank you all for your subscription and voting support.
