I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 5
The scholarship should have been awarded at the end of last semester, but Su Chengyi never accepted it.

He wasn't pretending to be arrogant, he had really forgotten about it, and he was indeed not short of money.

In order to compensate him after the divorce, his parents secretly competed with each other and sent money to his bank card every now and then.

He is a high school student living a life of two things and one thing. He really doesn't know where to spend his money.

There were only two people in the office, Li Lu and him. Su Chengyi stopped when he reached the door and stopped going inside.

Li Lu rummaged through the pile of documents on her desk alone.

"I told you about last semester's things and you didn't come to collect them. I have a lot of things to do and keep forgetting them. Look how long this has been delayed."

After finally finding the relevant documents, Li Lu turned around and found that Su Chengyi was still standing at the door.

"Come in, what are you doing standing there? Sign here."

She tapped her finger on the lower right corner of the document.

Su Chengyi then walked to the desk and leaned over to write his name.

Seeing his cautious attitude, Li Lu suddenly sighed, shook her head and said with a smile:
"I've been your class teacher since the first year of high school. How come you're about to graduate and you still act like you don't know me?"

Su Chengyi, who had just finished writing his name, was startled and didn't know how to answer.

"Forget it."

Li Lu patted his shoulder and continued:
"You have good grades and are sensible.

Logically speaking, you are the kind of child that people least worry about. "

She stood up again and poured Su Chengyi a glass of water.

"But sometimes I just feel that the one I can't let go of the most is you."

Su Chengyi took the water glass, mist rose from the warm boiled water, and he lowered his eyes to hide his complicated thoughts.

"Teacher, thank you."

It was exactly nine o'clock in the morning.

Under the warm morning sun, the [-]-day swearing-in ceremony for the College Entrance Examination of Tang'an No. [-] Experimental Middle School officially began.

As a well-known city center, the importance of the swearing-in ceremony of No. [-] Middle School is self-evident.

It not only represents the importance that No. [-] Middle School attaches to the college entrance examination, but also leads the trend of other schools in the city.

Leaders in suits and ties sat in the VIP seats below the rostrum.

The stands were full of parents, most of them holding support banners and flags, ready to cheer for their children.

As usual, the swearing-in ceremony begins with a square formation.

Accompanied by the energetic athletes' march, the neatly arranged blue and white squares appeared in sequence.

I had long observed that there were photographers from all angles holding up their lenses to follow and take pictures. Su Chengyi deliberately walked at the back of the team to avoid being photographed.

Unexpectedly, when it was their turn, the host on the platform shouted at the highest decibel level:

"The next person coming to us is Class [-], Grade [-]!

The average score of Class [-], Grade [-], is very impressive. Two students, Su Chengyi and Chu Qingmian, even ranked first or second in the school!
They bring glory to the school, and we must emulate them! "

The photographers quickly targeted the two people who were named and praised in the crowd and took photos wildly.

As the team leader, Chu Qingmian walked at the front of the team without any stage fright. She even smiled and made a playful scissor hand gesture to the camera.

Su Chengyi worked hard to maintain an expressionless and cold persona.

In fact, he was already complaining so much that he just wanted to dig a hole and bury himself.

Father Su and Mother Su, who were sitting in the auditorium, were leaning to the left and the other to the right, not wanting to talk to each other at all.

However, as soon as they heard Su Chengyi's name from the host, the two of them quickly joined forces to raise a support banner and cheer for Su Chengyi.

The banner with white text on a red background reads:

"All wishes come true, everything goes well."

"Oh, you are Su Chengyi's parents, you are so awesome, so awesome."

When the parent next to him discovered this, he immediately exclaimed:

"How did you teach me? This is, eh, let's add WeChat. I want to ask you about my experience."

"Yes, that's my son. Oh, hehe, hey, the key is for the child to live up to his own expectations."

Su's mother chatted with the aunt next to her with a smile on her face.Su's father held up his mobile phone to zoom in, trying to take a picture of Su Chengyi in the sea of ​​people.

After the square formation, there was a lengthy speech by the principal and leaders.

It was like reciting a tightening curse, and most of the students were a little wilted from the sun.

"Next, let's invite the outstanding student representative of the senior high school students - classmate Chu Qingmian!"

This woke up all the sleepy students.

Chu Qingmian can be said to be the embodiment of beauty and wisdom in the hearts of students in No. [-] Middle School. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the Bai Yueguang of the entire school.

What's more, she has an easy-going and kind personality and never puts on airs.Quirky and very lovable.

Generally speaking, he is a person who likes flowers when he meets others.

This is in sharp contrast to Su Chengyi, an autistic person who never sees the end of a dragon. They are two extremes.

So as soon as she came on stage, the students below felt like they had been injected with blood.

The cheers and applause continued for a long time, with Xu Yang and his younger brothers shouting the most enthusiastically.

Chu Qingmian smiled and introduced herself:
"Dear leaders, teachers, dear students, good morning.

I am Chu Qingmian from Class [-], Grade [-], and I am honored to speak on stage as a student representative. "

She unfolded the manuscript paper in her hand, and the smile on her face suddenly solidified.

The playground with thousands of people was very quiet, all waiting for her next step.

But she was frozen in place, as if she was stuck in a shell.

Su Chengyi frowned and looked at the stage, noticing that Chu Qingmian's hands that were holding the manuscript paper were shaking uncontrollably.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat. There was probably something wrong, and it wasn't even as simple as forgetting the words.

The scene stagnated for a while, and the people below finally started talking.

"What's going on? Is this a deliberate arrangement by Sister Mian?"

"I brought the manuscript with me but why did I forget the lyrics? It's so embarrassing. I was embarrassed too."

"There must be a TV station broadcasting it live. This is considered a performance accident."

The host on one side anxiously gestured for Chu Qingmian to step down first, but she remained motionless as if she couldn't see him.

For some reason, Su Chengyi's heart was beating faster and faster even though he was not at the center of the storm this time.

The noisy human voices were covered up by the sound of heartbeats, and the passage of time seemed to slow down.

He saw the worried or gloating expressions of the students around him, and saw Li Lu hurriedly running to gesture with the host.

Finally, he saw Chu Qingmian standing alone on the stage.

Everyone's gazes gathered like a tide, rushing towards her, trying to engulf her.

Suddenly, Su Chengyi saw his old self again.

He just stood in the shadows, watching the fire from the other side, with an indifferent expression.

The only thing he felt at the moment was that he was glad that it was not him who was standing on the stage.

But will it never be you who stands on the stage?
"Don't get involved, it's none of your business. What you can't do, you can't help her, you can't help anyone."

The self-protection mechanism kept issuing warnings, but Su Chengyi could only hear his own voice in his head.

——"Give her a hand, I want to give her a hand."

So the next second, he pushed aside the crowd, threw everyone's surprised gazes behind his head, and rushed to the stage.

When he stood next to her, he realized that Chu Qingmian was not just trembling.

Her eyes were unfocused, and she almost used all her strength to support herself so as not to collapse on the stage.

Looking at the crowd in the audience, Su Chengyi swallowed nervously and said in a voice that only two people could hear:

"give it to me."

Then he reached out and took the manuscript paper in her hand.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qingmian looked at him in panic, as if she suddenly woke up from a dream, and begged in a smaller voice:

"…do not look."
