I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 486 You Can’t Be Free

After the dinner, Lin Zhiwan cleaned up the dishes and said in a hurry that she wanted to go home first.

"Sorry for disturbing you by not staying for dinner. I'll go back now."

Lin Zhiwan gestured for a while.

She had something hidden in her mind and gestured very quickly. Only Su Chengyi could understand her among the people present.

"What do you have to do this afternoon?"

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows nonchalantly and asked deliberately.

"Nothing"

Lin Zhiwan answered honestly, and after a while, she remembered to make amends for herself.

"Well, my brother is home alone, I have to go back and cook for him."

"I remember Lin Tong's cooking was pretty delicious."

Su Chengyi ruthlessly exposed her excuses.

Lin Zhiwan pursed her lips nervously and continued:

"I'm going to volunteer at the welfare home tomorrow, and I haven't prepared anything for the children yet."

"Isn't tomorrow a workday? Please take a day off to volunteer."

Su Chengyi suppressed his lips and continued to sabotage.

".It's almost time for the weekly video update. I need to go back and plan what dishes to update this week."

"Didn't you just update Rock Sugar Tremella Soup a few days ago? I even gave you a rocket reward."

"Ah! That person called 'User 111222333' is you?"

Lin Zhiwan gestured with a confused look on her face and repeated this ID which was more human than a machine.

"It's down."

Su Chengyi laughed.

"Don't give tips next time. A rocket is very expensive. I want to know how to turn off the tipping function, but I can't do it."

Lin Zhiwan said worriedly.

The revenue brought by the video's playback volume and popularity alone was beyond her imagination. However, the means used by video platforms like this to make money were completely unimaginable to a simple person like Lin Zhiwan.

Not only have various reward channels for "feeding" and "recharging" been opened, there is also a special ranking list to display users with the highest reward amounts.

Of course, the throne with the highest total reward amount is naturally firmly occupied by a guy with the ID "I'll sleep first".

When Lin Zhiwan updated her first video, she invested 100,000 yuan to show her support.

After that, whenever I thought of it, he would suddenly pop up and give me some gifts of the highest specifications.

Moreover, Su Chengyi was very clear that it was the platform's recharge model that limited the performance of this young lady.

If you want to give gifts on this platform, the maximum recharge amount for one time is only 1998 yuan.

Every time Chu Qingmian wanted to get her favorite "blingbling" gift, she had to repeat the recharge steps five times.

"Oh, it's so troublesome, so troublesome, so troublesome - how about Su Chengyi, can you help me to top up? Just click a few times, it's so simple, my payment password is"

Miss Chu often said this.

Su Chengyi thought that Lin Tong and Sister Lin must have thanked the platform's limit mechanism many times.

Every time Miss Chu gave a gift, Lin Tong would silently begin to calculate how long it would take him to repay the favor after he started working.

In the end, I felt a little desperate after calculating so much.

It's not over yet, not over at all.

If you think about it seriously, this thing is more frightening than usury.

The key is that you don’t know when this young lady will suddenly think of this again and then excitedly post a new wave.

Too ha.

Although Lin Zhiwan’s fans don’t know who this mysterious krypton gold boss is, they have gradually given up the idea of ​​competing for the first place.

They focus on the "this week's reward ranking" because the big guy doesn't show up occasionally, so everyone is secretly competing within the deadline within this week.

Every time Lin Zhiwan came online, she would receive a large number of reward notices, which was really frightening.

She even secretly contacted the platform staff to ask if all the rewards could be returned.

The platform staff naturally had a look of doubt on their faces and told her directly that she could not do so.

It makes sense. 50% of the rewards from platform users will be deducted by the platform, which is a major part of the platform's profits. How could it be possible that it would be returned just because Lin Zhiwan didn't want to accept it?

Lin Zhiwan had no choice but to write "Please do not feed" in the description of each video she updated afterwards. However, the effect was counterproductive and more people fed her instead.

Su Chengyi looked at Lin Zhiwan's worried expression and wanted to laugh for a moment.

People like Sister Lin are actually not suitable for making a living in the Internet industry.

Because the heart is so good.

Now is still the spring of video bloggers, but in a few years, it will be the world of live streaming and product sales bloggers.

If Lin Zhiwan were to sell goods through live streaming, Su Chengyi would find it hard to imagine how much profit she would make.

But she would never be willing to take such a piece of pie that fell from the sky, even if she was beaten to death.

But she doesn't necessarily have to get a share of the pie. Su Chengyi thought, it would be fine for her to just quietly shoot videos like this.

Even if the popularity declines in the future, the income will definitely be enough for her to live a good life.

The only pity is that she had to get through the most difficult days on her own.

Su Chengyi found it hard to imagine Lin Zhiwan's previous life. It seemed like it could be filmed into a documentary about misery.

But she herself didn't seem to feel the bitterness at all, and when she smiled she looked as gentle and graceful as a young lady who had been raised in a boudoir since childhood.

All the excuses that Lin Zhiwan had worked so hard to come up with were exposed one by one by Su Chengyi. In the end, she had no choice but to give up and ran away with the simple canvas bag that she used most often.

"You, just bully Wanwan because she can't speak."

Yang Liu poured tea for Chen Jinzhi and glanced at him.

Su Chengyi smiled, picked up the teacup and smelled it, it had the familiar flavor of Dongting Biluochun.

"I was just wondering, why is it that you two have been together for so long, but she is still so fearful all the time?"

"We're not like this usually. Wanwan even jokes with me sometimes!"

Yang Liu immediately waved her hand to block his attack. She thought about it and felt that this was really a bit strange.

"Yes, I know Wanwan isn't usually this nervous! It's just that you're here and it makes her uncomfortable."

Su Chengyi snorted and didn't take it seriously.

He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then tilted his head to look at Chen Jinzhi:

"It's a little hot, blow on it before drinking."

Chen Jinzhi nodded "hmm", then quietly lowered his eyes and looked at the light green color in the teacup.

She looked a little worried, Su Chengyi thought.

But why?

Su Chengyi thought for a long time but couldn't figure out anything.

It is known that everything was fine when we first met, so the problem must have occurred afterwards.

Could it be that.
Because he just kept talking about Sister Lin and made her unhappy?

This was the only reason Su Chengyi could think of, but he felt it was unreasonable.

How does Chen Jinzhi look like the kind of person who would be jealous?

She has a temperament of "my routine is above yours", and it seems difficult for her to have any emotions because of the minor quarrels and disagreements that are common between some couples.

Su Cheng thought of this and glanced at her sideways.

Chen Jinzhi noticed his gaze, but did not look over. Instead, he looked away slightly.

No way?
Su Chengyi was shocked. This reaction was indeed not right.

"Jinzhi, tell your auntie what happened a few days ago. You don't know, but your auntie is really worried. I'm afraid that you will be affected by the comments of those haters. I want to fly over to see you right away."

Yang Liu finally brought up the topic, but she didn't really want to hear the details of the matter.

She just wanted to use this behavior to see if Chen Jinzhi still cared about this matter and whether he was still troubled by this huge public opinion storm.

If so, she would have to comfort the child in all aspects without leaving any blind spots, so as not to leave any psychological trauma on the child.

But Su Chengyi suddenly stood up, took Chen Jinzhi's wrist and helped her stand up.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell her."

Chen Jinzhi raised his head and said "Hmm?" in confusion. Yang Liu was also confused.

"Huh? No! Is there anything that mom can't listen to?"

"It'll be fine in a moment."

Su Chengyi had no intention of discussing the matter. He pulled Chen Jinzhi straight to the balcony and closed the glass door tightly.

Although Chen Jinzhi didn't understand, he still cooperated.

Until he pulled me to the blind spot at the corner, with my back against the wall, I still asked in a good-tempered manner:

"what's wrong?"

"I wanted to ask you what's wrong. I always feel that you are absent-minded."

Su Chengyi leaned forward slightly and looked at Chen Jinzhi's expression.

And when Chen Jinzhi showed that foxy smile that he was very familiar with, he knew that he would not be able to ask anything.

This kind of smile is clearly telling him:

"Hey! I just don't like to tell the truth and make sure you can't find any flaws~"

After some thought, Su Chengyi decided to speak his mind.

After all, even if he wanted to go around in circles, he would definitely not be able to get around Chen Jinzhi.

"Ahem, that."

Su Chengyi cleared his throat and said awkwardly:

"If it's because of Sister Lin."

Hearing this, Chen Jinzhi couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.

No way, has the wood finally come to its senses?

".That's not necessary. She and I are just a sister and brother, I have never thought about it that way. And she obviously treats me as a brother, her attitude towards me is the same as her attitude towards Lin Tong.

If you misunderstood my attitude just now, I apologize to you. I didn’t have that intention at all.”

Su Chengyi said frankly, his eyes were calm, this was indeed his true thought.

Chen Jinzhi silently retracted his misunderstanding.

Wood is wood, it is impossible to open up the mind.

fool.

Chen Jinzhi blinked, but couldn't suppress the urge to tease him.

"Is that so? All right then."

Her tone was gentle, with a hint of deliberate sarcasm.

Su Cheng thought she would not believe him, so he continued to explain:

"Really! Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. If I had that kind of thought, I wouldn't have the nerve to play with Lin Tong.

He wants to be my brother, and I want to be his brother-in-law, right?"

Chen Jinzhi burst out laughing, but immediately pretended to be asking a serious question.

"Ah, so if we put aside this relationship, you will have some ideas?"

Su Chengyi was choked for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Chen Jinzhi's speech was always so direct and to the point, and there could be no room for any loopholes, otherwise she would immediately find the flaw.

"Because of this relationship, I don't even think about it that way."

Su Chengyi tried hard to bring the topic back to his control.

"What if there is no such relationship?"

Chen Jinzhi tilted his head, his eyes moving.

"."

What if Sister Lin is not Sister Lin?

Su Chengyi had never really thought about this question.

"No."

Su Chengyi shook his head and answered honestly.

The main reason was that Lin Tong’s image was too vivid, and it was hard for him to imagine how terrible it would be if he called himself “brother-in-law”.

"Okay, I see. It seems that Teacher Su still prefers Sister Lin's type."

Chen Jinzhi's tone was a little resentful, and she sighed softly.

"I'm so sorry for cutting you off. I heard before that true love has to go through some wrong trials before it can come."

"No wonder Teacher Su's ideal type is so vague and he often laments that my thoughts are hard to guess. It turns out that everything is planned in advance."

"Teacher Su, it's not too late to make a new choice now. You are free."

"."

Su Chengyi held his forehead, feeling speechless for a moment.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to explain this. The more I explain, the more guilty he seems!

Seeing his increasingly serious expression, Chen Jinzhi gave up the joking intention and reached out to pinch his earlobe.

"Fool."

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her amber pupils looked radiant in the afternoon sun, very beautiful.

"Okay, I was just kidding."

"It's scary even when you're joking."

Although he had doubts about this for a long time, Su Chengyi still breathed a sigh of relief nervously.

"Sorry~"

Chen Jinzhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said slowly:
"So, don't take what I just said seriously."

"Ok?"

Her tone changed suddenly. Su Chengyi moved closer, a little confused, thinking he had missed something.

Chen Jinzhi raised his eyes, and a dark emotion flashed across his eyes.

"It's too late."

Her fingertips traced along Su Chengyi's jawline, and finally she bent her knuckles to adjust the angle of his gaze, forcing him to look at her.

Su Chengyi noticed some dark emotions suddenly emerging from her, but before he could figure out why, he met Chen Jinzhi's gaze.

Paranoid, gloomy, with a certain unavoidable exploration.

"I never need freedom, so you can't be free either."

When saying this, Chen Jinzhi's tone was unusually cold.

After she finished speaking, she loosened her hand and avoided his gaze.

This doesn't sound like something she would normally say, Su Chengyi thought.

The problem is, even though she was saying these words that sounded like she was declaring her sovereignty, she just looked lonely.

So Su Chengyi lowered his head and closed the distance between them again.

"What about the benefits?"

"What's the benefit?"

“The benefits of not being able to be free.”

Su Chengyi asked seriously.

"you want"

Chen Jinzhi opened her eyes and wanted to ask him what benefit he wanted, but before she could finish her words, he gently kissed the corner of her lips.

Su Chengyi turned around as if nothing had happened, his fingers resting on the glass door that separated the balcony and the living room.

"enough."

He couldn't help laughing, like a kid who was bent on playing a prank and finally pulled the pigtails of the girl he liked.

Chen Jinzhi clenched his fingers quietly behind his back.

The rain that had been falling in her heart for a long time seemed to be clearing up quietly because of this light kiss without any desire.
