I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 42 Complex
Han Bing didn't ask again, but seemed a little sorry for him.

"Isn't this too much? No matter what mistake you make, you can't punish a child to kneel down like this, right?"

As for why, Su Chengyi actually couldn't remember it clearly.

I vaguely remember going back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year. There were too many people, most of whom were relatives I didn’t know.

He didn't like this kind of occasion and didn't want to go to a relative's house to have dinner. Normally, he would compromise when Su Zelang persuaded him.

But he just didn't want to go that day, and no one tried to persuade him.

Perhaps because he felt that he had been refuted in front of many people, Su Zelang locked him in the ancestral hall in anger and asked him to kneel and reflect.

When Yang Liu heard about this, he hurried back and took Su Chengyi out of the dim ancestral hall.

At that time, Su Zelang was still at the banquet, exchanging glasses with others, scolding Fang Qiu, and completely forgot about the matter.

Yang Liu had a big fight with Su Zelang that day, and then immediately took Su Chengyi back to Tang'an City.

But he himself didn't actually care much about this matter.

I can’t say why, but it’s probably because I’m not surprised that Su Zelang could do such a thing.

When I was in my prime, I was arrogant and felt that my failures were due to the limitations of the times and the unfairness of fate.

If you can't hold your head high in front of outsiders, how can you still be unable to treat your own children?

If Su Chengyi hadn't happened to be talking about corporal punishment with Xu Yang and the others, Su Chengyi would not have remembered this incident.

He is not afraid of any ghosts at all. To be scary, isn't the human heart much scarier than ghosts?

"People who are extremely afraid of humans will be more eager to see monsters with their own eyes than others."

Su Chengyi probably had this mentality. Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he still hoped to have the opportunity to see it with his own eyes.

It's not hard to stay in the dark ancestral hall. What's hard is the feeling of being at a loss in the crowd and feeling like sitting on pins and needles.

And he wasn't mean-spirited. He got up from the ground as soon as Su Zelang closed the door and left. Only a fool would keep kneeling. He didn't do anything wrong.

So it’s not about childhood shadows, it’s just talk after dinner.

But Xu Yang and the others obviously couldn't accept such a punishment, and they all looked at him solemnly, feeling that they had caused him to think of bad memories.

Su Chengyi sighed and was about to explain again when a familiar person walked up slowly carrying a schoolbag.

Chu Qingmian immediately waved and said hello: "Lin Tong!"

Lin Tong's schoolbag was an old-fashioned denim bag. It had been washed white and the original color could not be seen. It looked very big and heavy on his thin shoulders.

When he heard someone calling him, Lin Tong acted as if he hadn't heard and took two more steps forward before hesitating and turning around.

Su Chengyi nodded at him and motioned for him to come over.

Xu Yang looked at Lin Tong curiously and asked:
"Who is this guy? Do you know him?"

Chu Qingmian introduced:
"Of course I know you! This is Lin Tong, our classmate, nicknamed Mu Mu."

Then he waved to Lin Tong and introduced to him:

"This is Xu Yang, don't be afraid, he just looks fierce!"

Xu Yang took a step forward, smiled and stretched out his hand:

"Hello, hello, nice to meet you."

Lin Tong looked at his hand, swallowed, as if he had done a lot of mental preparation, and finally stretched out his hand to shake it.

"Good."

The establishment of diplomatic relations in the century, Su Chengyi looked at the two people who were completely different in appearance and aura.

"How about the placement test?"

Su Chengyi saw Lin Tong's somewhat ugly expression and probably guessed the reason, so he asked the question directly.

Lin Tong raised his head and looked at him, put on a smile that was uglier than crying, and opened his mouth to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he let out a heavy sigh.Xu Yang looked at his expression and felt that he must be a scumbag like him, so he quickly patted his shoulder vigorously to express comfort.

"Don't be afraid, buddy, it's not our fault, it's all the fault of this question! Come to Class [-], guys, to protect you, don't be afraid..."

Han Bing hit him with an elbow.

"What are you talking about! I have good grades, you think I am just like you!"

Xu Yang immediately retracted his hand holding Lin Tong's shoulder.

"What! Your grades are good, your expression is giving people a wrong idea, isn't it?"

Lin Tong sighed again and whispered:
"I didn't do well in the exam this time, and my ranking slipped by more than a dozen places."

"How many people are there if you skate more than a dozen people?"

Xu Yang asked curiously.

"35."

"You're still like this when you're ranked 35th in grade! If it doesn't work, let's switch."

Xu Yang slapped his thigh, looking like he hated iron.

Han Bing wished he could shut his mouth.
"Is it possible that you two have different starting points? I feel sad because I have regressed. Oh, please stop talking!"

Xu Yang still listened to the advice and quickly shut his mouth.

Lin Tong's face was full of anxiety, and his hands couldn't help pulling on the straps of his schoolbag. He pulled a few more threads on the two already worn straps.

Su Chengyi saw this and did not reach out to stop him. He just asked knowingly:
"Did you fail the math test?"

Chu Qingmian tried to comfort her:

"It's just an accident. It's normal that you didn't perform well. Your level is fine."

Lin Tong nodded, and the three people present knew the reason well.

Seeing that they were suddenly silent, Xu Yang felt that he had to say something to liven up the atmosphere.

"Oh, it's just a small test, not a college entrance examination! Stop looking so miserable and walk to the cafeteria! I'm treating you!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to say hello.

Lin Tong subconsciously felt that he should not be included in his invitation list, after all, they had only known each other for less than 5 minutes.

So he originally wanted to walk away quietly, but as soon as he took a step back, Xu Yang grabbed his wrist.

"Hey, why are you running away, Mu Mu, let's go together!"

Lin Tong's eyes widened in astonishment, and his words of rejection were choked back by Xu Yang's rising enthusiasm.

In recent times, he has felt more and more that many people are not what they seem.

Su Chengyi seemed to be the kind of lonely and arrogant man of heaven. He was completely different from someone like him who only knew how to answer questions.

But after getting along with him for a short time, I actually felt that he was a sober and gentle person.

Chu Qingmian has always been a perfect goddess image in Lin Tong's heart. When he was a child, he also watched many movies with the villagers, and the heroines in them were not as beautiful as Chu Qingmian.

If it weren't for the coincidence of exam seating arrangements, the two of them would have nothing to do with each other in the next life, and they wouldn't be from the same world at all.

If Lin Tong was given ten more courages, he would not dare to talk to Chu Qingmian.

Later I learned that Chu Qingmian was not pretending to be who she was because of politeness and tutoring. She was really sincere and kind from the bottom of her heart.

Xu Yang has an unruly and prickly appearance. Compared with a thin, bespectacled and elegant person like Hou Xiaohong, most people would think that Xu Yang is the type who bullies others.

But the fact is the opposite.
