I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 497 Chen Jin's Extra: Young and Beautiful (End)

Su Chengyi had already met Chen Jinzhi before he appeared as a transfer student.

Of course, without her knowing.

The school teacher took him to go through the enrollment procedures, passing by the small playground where many students gathered. During the break after morning exercises, other students walked or chatted in groups of three or five.

There was only one exception, a girl, who was carrying a bucket of water towards the edge of the playground. Her steps seemed a little unsteady, which was inevitable because she didn't seem to be much heavier than the bucket of water.

There was nothing special that needed special attention, so Su Chengyi's gaze only lingered for a short moment before he wanted to look away.

Just at this moment, she stopped beside the bulletin board a few meters away from him, tucked her falling hair behind her ears, and raised her head.

The angle of the morning sunlight fell on her just right, outlining her profile at a perfect angle like an ancient Greek sculpture.

Her long eyelashes were dyed gold, giving her eyes the divine compassion of Aphrodite.

It is no exaggeration to say that before this, Su Chengyi had never thought that there would be such beautiful creatures in the world.

Even someone like him who had always been calm and didn't know what love was, suddenly had the illusion of falling in love at first sight.

Su Chengyi couldn't help but follow her gaze, wanting to know what made her look like that.

The bulletin board is separated by a layer of glass. The ID photos of outstanding students are displayed with faces painted with bright red watercolor pens to make them look weird and curious, and there are some "confessions" added in the form of comic bubbles next to them.

Although the face in the ID photo could no longer be seen clearly, Su Chengyi could easily guess who it was. His expression remained unchanged, and his eyes fell on the name and class under the photo.

Chen Jinzhi.

"It seems that the environment of our school is still very good, right? If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

The school teacher walking in front was introducing the school's history and achievements all the way. In order to facilitate communication, he was using English at this time.

Su Chengyi took a last look at the person standing in front of the bulletin board wringing a towel. She had rolled up her school uniform sleeves, revealing a slender white wrist, so thin that one could see the shape of her bones.

Su Chengyi retracted his gaze and asked casually:
"Teacher, what is it?"

This word obviously stunned the teacher for a moment. He hesitated and shook his head, saying that it was not a good word and that he had accidentally heard it from somewhere. It was best not to say it in school.

Su Chengyi nodded, noncommittal.

"If I had a choice, I would go to Class 23."

Therefore, rather than an accidental encounter, it is more appropriate to say that this was their first meeting and it was planned long ago.

When Su Chengyi was standing on the podium introducing herself, what she was actually thinking was that she was even more beautiful when she was among the crowd.

The room is full of beauties, and suddenly I make eye contact with her.

"How do you know I'm Chinese?"

"Looks."

When Su Chengyi said these two words, he actually wanted to laugh.

There’s nothing wrong with saying it’s appearance, but it can also be replaced with “beauty”.

But saying this when you first meet someone seems a bit like being a hooligan.

Chen Jinzhi treated him very friendly.

But it was the cautious friendliness of a snail extending its tentacles.

Like a vigilant kitten, when it can't control its curiosity, it just looks from a distance.

Su Chengyi saw the familiar Korean word on her desk. He still didn't know what it meant, but from the teacher's expression that day, he could tell that it was definitely a dirty word that was not suitable for public display.

Chen Jinzhi seemed to be accustomed to such insults.

Every morning, she naturally took out her heavy and thick notebook, spread it flat on the desk as if nothing had happened, and quietly recited her English words amid the noise around her.

She was always very serious in class, which gave Su Chengyi the opportunity to observe her unnoticeably.

She never raised her hand to answer a question, but knew the answer to every question.

She often has a simple black hair tie hanging from her hand, but her hair is usually left loose, so perhaps it has some other purpose.

She wore her school uniform most of the time, and she was the only one in the class who wore it.

While other girls were dressing up beautifully and spraying several kinds of expensive perfume on themselves, she only had a faint scent of soap.

Su Chengyi thought that this might have something to do with the school uniforms she wore so many times that they had turned white from being washed so many times.

Su Chengyi had the habit of spinning a pen. He noticed that every time the pen was spinning and flying between his fingers, Chen Jinzhi, who seemed to be staring at the blackboard very seriously, would glance at him from the corner of his eyes from time to time, as if he was worried that the pen would fly out.

Su Chengyi felt amused and deliberately "faked" it once.

The pen hit the table with a "bang", which scared her so much that she shivered. She pursed her lips and glanced at him helplessly, then pushed the pen back to his textbook.

This kind of observation did not last long, and soon the seat-changing storm came.

Su Chengyi's mood wasn't actually very good, because our first place winner, Miss Chen Jinzhi, didn't seem to care at all.

She quickly packed her bag, stood up, gave him an official smile, and showed him the official farewell dialogue.

Before Su Chengyi could answer her, the end of her voice trembled slightly.

Su Chengyi followed her gaze and saw her desk.

I thought she had become desensitized to this, but it turns out she still cares about it.

So Su Chengyi said without thinking:

"It does not matter."

His intention was to comfort her, but she didn't seem to like his reaction.

Until the next day when he saw the cleaned table, Su Chengyi still hadn't figured out why, but when he raised his eyes he saw Chen Jinzhi with a ponytail sitting in the front row.

His thoughts couldn't help but wander off, and he thought, I should use that hairband.

After losing the status of desk mate, Su Chengyi quickly reconciled with himself.

Because it's easier to see her from this angle.

But he also realized something was troubling.

That is, the students in this school seemed to be different from the top scorers in his previous school. Not all of them loved studying as much as Chen Jinzhi.

What they love most is falling in love early, or planning to fall in love early, gossiping about someone's best friend getting together with her ex again, and which unlucky guy they are going to trouble today.

Unfortunately, Su Chengyi found himself becoming part of their discussion.

Because a transfer student who is cool, mysterious and somewhat pretty is destined to become the topic of conversation among all the young girls in love.

Su Cheng thought, no, he is not mysterious or aloof at all.

Yes, he is just socially phobic.

Su Chengyi sometimes suspects that perhaps in every parallel universe he cannot escape the character of being a social phobic.

However, there is a silver lining in every tragedy.

Su Chengyi found that his arrival seemed to divert some attention from Chen Jinzhi.

This way, she will have more time to study her favorite subjects.

For social phobia, such sacrifice is truly great.

After sitting in the front row, her presence in the eyes of others seemed to be much lower, as if she had become the most common good student in the school.

Of course, Su Chengyi was not among the others. He always focused his attention on Chen Jinzhi.

She likes history more than science because only in science class would she turn her head from time to time to look at the classroom clock.

She almost never goes to convenience stores and only drinks free tap water.

She got a new brown hair tie because she occasionally wears it in a ponytail.

She never had any friends.

After he snatched away her first place in mathematics, she seemed to care a lot.

Her elective course is music. I don't know if she can sing.

Su Chengyi felt that his gaze seemed to have never been concealed, but Chen Jinzhi was always very careful when looking back at him.

Perhaps it was because she had been so careful that she thought she had hidden it well.

Once during lunch break, a group of junior girls made weird "chi chi" sounds and formed a magic circle to block him at the entrance of the corridor.

When faced with this kind of situation, Su Chengyi would usually pretend not to understand and quickly escape, but this time it obviously didn't work because this group of girls were well prepared and had written out a draft of their English speech in advance.

Su Chengyi had no choice but to lean against the wall, waiting for the petite female classmate who was surrounded by the crowd to finish reading her homemade sour love poem.

At this time, Chen Jinzhi suddenly turned out from the corridor entrance. She was holding a large stack of test papers in her hands and walking hurriedly.

When she saw the army of confessions that filled the entire corridor, she raised her head and quickly glanced at Su Chengyi.

For some reason, Su Chengyi felt guilty as if he had been caught cheating.

He interrupted the girls who were reciting poetry passionately and asked them to make way.

So Chen Jinzhi quietly walked through the crowd.

Su Chengyi looked at her slender and straight calves under her school uniform skirt, and for a moment he felt that the love poems of his female classmates were not so sour.

It's human nature.

After politely and briefly expressing his refusal, Su Chengyi took two steps at a time and went up the stairs without considering their reactions.

Then, I happened to meet Miss Chen Jinzhi at the corner, who was leaning against the wall, holding the test paper and daydreaming.

As they looked at each other, the atmosphere became quite tense.

Su Chengyi was just about to show an expression of surprise when Chen Jinzhi ruthlessly turned around and left without looking back.

The days passed like this.

Su Chengyi's elective course was German, which he already knew.

He could always see her passing by the window during class, and he would clear his throat at the perfect time.

"Du bist mein, ich bin dein."

I belong to you and you belong to me.

You should be sure.

Su Chengyi came back to his senses, retracting his thoughts that were scattered in the fragments of memories.

The rain was pattering and the emergency lights in the corridor flashed occasionally.

"What book are you reading? Can you read it to me?"

The person inside the door asked tentatively with a trembling voice.

Su Chengyi lowered his head and turned the pages of the book in his hand with a rustling sound.

After a while, he began to read:
“When you’re old.”

The boy's gentle voice was a little misty in the sound of rain, and Chen Jinzhi unconsciously clutched his sleeves.

"When you are old, your hair is grey, and you are sleepy, and you doze off by the fire.

Please take down this book, read it slowly, and think quietly about the tenderness and deep sadness in your eyes.

"How many people love your happy and elegant moments,
Love your beauty, with false or true feelings.

But there is only one who loves your pilgrim soul,

Love your sadness when your face grows old. "

Chen Jinzhi listened to his voice and closed his eyes in despair in the darkness.

You're done, Chen Jinzhi, you made it too obvious.

Every look you give him is asking, will you like me? How long will you like me?
"You bend before the red grate,

Somewhat sadly whispered to himself,

Love, how it fled to the mountains above,
Walking, hiding my face among the stars. "

Su Chengyi slowed down his speech and finished reading the last sentence of this famous poem.

This is the Chinese translation version he prefers.

Through the door of the equipment room, the people inside were very quiet.

Perhaps I was wondering why he would recite such a poem with ulterior motives?
Su Chengyi thought, because she was too obvious.

Every look she gave him asked the same question.

She was looking forward to his answer, yet afraid of it.

Su Chengyi gave his answer and closed the book in his hand.

At this moment, a flash of lightning happened to flash across the night, making it as bright as day, illuminating the cover of the book in his arms.

It was a book called The Evolution of Physics.

the next day.

Chen Jinzhi originally thought that the issue that deserved the most attention was "whether the key management of the equipment room was too frivolous", but it was another matter that alarmed the whole school.

That means all the desks of students in Class 23 were destroyed.

The glaring and explicit colorful graffiti swept across everyone's desk, without exception.

The words used were extremely bad and in a variety of languages. It was obvious that the perpetrator used auxiliary props such as a translator.

He even put glue on it, making the cleaning process even more difficult.

The school issued a special notice to sternly warn this person and asked him to surrender immediately to the Academic Affairs Office. Otherwise, severe measures will be taken.
But everyone knows that this is the school's reaction only when they have no other way to catch the murderer. They are just outwardly powerful but actually weak.

Under pressure from the school, the class teacher also made a lot of efforts, and the focus of the investigation was on Chen Jinzhi.

"Student Chen Jinzhi, look, this is what's going on."

The teacher rubbed his hands and avoided eye contact.

".Do your classmates often play pranks like this on you? Do you play jokes on them?"

When he said this, he got stuck and coughed a few times in an attempt to cover up his mistake.

"So, the teacher wants to ask you, did you do this out of revenge?"

Chen Jinzhi lowered his eyes and heard himself sneer softly.

"So the teacher knew about this prank."

she says.

"Now that I have a motive for committing the crime, teacher, do you want to know if I had time to commit the crime yesterday?"

Chen Jinzhi smiled, pulled out a chair and stood up.

"You can ask Park Zhenyan."

Park Jin-yeon, who was summoned last, was of course forced to give false testimony on her behalf in order to conceal the fact that she locked someone in the equipment room.

This was probably more uncomfortable for her than eating a fly.

When Chen Jinzhi returned to the classroom, Su Chengyi was leaning against the back door, seeming to be disgusted by the mess on his desk.

Chen Jinzhi lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

Of course she knew it was him who did it, probably while she was asleep.

I don’t know if he has studied some street graffiti art, but his efficiency is so high.

Chen Jinzhi returned to his seat and for the first time looked at his desk with appreciation.

It was a real mess, but despite that, she could still see some selfish motives in it.

For example, the words used to insult her were deliberately separated, and at first glance they were just meaningless characters.

Red is Korean, white is English, and blue is. Arabic?

The black one looks like Chinese, but it's just some scattered radicals.

Chen Jinzhi frowned, trying to figure out the secret.

People. Evening. 亻. Bi.
Chen Jinzhi couldn't help but look back at Su Chengyi. Was this guy bullying Liuzi's Chinese level?

The latter was still in his previous position, looking at her from afar with his arms folded, as if he had been waiting for her to look over. After meeting her eyes as he wished, he raised his eyebrows and revealed a satisfied smile.

Chen Jinzhi realized that this person had been staring at him like this for a long time. He became a little nervous for a moment and turned back with red ears.

When I looked at the desktop again, these scattered characters seemed to have magic and combined themselves into a complete sentence.

Chen Jinzhi recited silently in his mind, his heart beating with emotion.

"Tonight evening, see this good man?"

This is a romance that only the two Chinese people can understand.

So that night.

This was the first time that Chen Jinzhi had the experience of being sent home by a boy after evening class.

"Ms. Chen Jinzhi, why are you leaving so quickly? Didn't I leave you a secret signal?"

Su Chengyi followed behind and said with a smile.

“My Chinese is not good.”

Chen Jinzhi was secretly complaining about when this thrifty fellow would reveal his true colors, and he said:
"How can I understand your code?"

Who would have thought that the codeword that seemed so poetic turned out to be an invitation to walk together after school!

Su Chengyi walked about half a step behind her and looked up at the road sign next to him.

Although I guessed that she would live in an area with lower rent, I didn't expect it to be like this.

Walking past the flickering street lights, Chen Jinzhi suddenly stopped and turned around.

Su Chengyi almost crashed into her, but fortunately he braked suddenly and avoided being hit on the chin by her head.

Chen Jinzhi raised his head and looked at him seriously.

"Su Chengyi."

Su Chengyi straightened his back slightly and waited for her next words.

"Don't change your heart, don't back off, don't just like me casually."

As she said this, the dim light from the street lamp made her look extremely beautiful, like a carefully crafted work of art.

Su Cheng thought of the scene when he first saw her, the difference was that this time he no longer cared about how beautiful she was.

All he could see was the tears in her eyes, like glittering fragments of glass.

A few years later.

When Chen Jinzhi walked slowly from the end of the red carpet in her wedding dress, there were gasps of amazement all around.

Originally everyone came with blessings, but as soon as the bride appeared, there were some gnashing looks like “You are so lucky”.

Su Chengyi stood on the stage and felt that Chen Jinzhi was so dazzling today that it made him dizzy.

So the emcee reminded him several times before he realized that the swearing-in ceremony was about to begin.

While waiting for the BGM to start, Chen Jinzhi's eyebrows curved into a beautiful arc and she mouthed something to him silently.

"Nervous?"

Su Chengyi nodded and couldn't help but say that no one could not be nervous during this session.

Especially when the bride is Chen Jinzhi.

I always feel like if I say something wrong someone will rush over and snatch your bride away!
During the oath-taking ceremony, the melody playing all around was Lana Del Rey's "Young And Beautiful".

This is the bride's own choice of song.

“Will you still love me
Do you love me as before, forever?
when I'm no longer young and beautiful
When I grow old, my beauty is gone

Will you still love me
Do you love me as before, forever?
when I got nothing but my aching soul
When I had nothing and was covered in wounds"

Su Chengyi took a deep breath, took her right hand, and looked straight into her eyes.

"I swear that for richer or poorer, for better or worse, in sickness or in health, I will love you as I did at the beginning, until the end of my days."

The master of ceremonies began to read the final oath.

"Do you wish this man to be your husband and to enter into a marriage contract with him?
To love him, care for him, respect him, accept him, and be faithful to him forever, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, or for any other reason?

Chen Jinzhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally whispered:

"I am willing."

Su Chengyi felt that he would never be so nervous again in his life, and his hand holding the wedding ring was shaking.

I could no longer see the rose petals falling from the sky, nor could I hear the salutes and cheers around me. It was as if the whole world was falling apart and spinning around me.

Only Chen Jinzhi's persistent gaze on him was like a tangled red thread, keeping him firmly here.

The BGM plays to the last part.

“Will you still love me
Do you love me as before, forever?
when I'm not young and beautiful
When I grow old, my beauty will fade away"

I know you will, I know you will
I know you will, I know you will

I know that you will
I know your love lasts forever"

Su Chengyi lowered his head and looked at the ring on her ring finger that was slightly shining.

“I promise I will.”

I promise, I will.

He said in his mind.

————Text dividing line————

The author's mumbling warning.

Miss Chen Jinzhi in the main story is more of a completely evolved version of the big devil character, so in this extra story I wrote a slightly more immature version of Chen Jinzhi. It can be regarded as making up for some of the small regrets that the sky fell too late~
I had a lot of fun writing this chapter! I hope you will enjoy reading it too~
