I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 503 Linglong Dice An Hongdou

Su Chengyi looked at Lin Zhiwan's somewhat embarrassed expression and guessed that she probably received only praises on a daily basis.

Lin Tong and Yang Liu have always been reluctant to say anything disparaging, and considering Lin Zhiwan's personal situation, the two "teachers" would definitely praise her if they could, and would force themselves to praise her even if they couldn't.

But why?

Su Chengyi leaned on the desk and slowly unscrewed the ink bottle.

In short, he didn't think Lin Zhiwan needed any special treatment like this.

So what if she has no advantage in reading and writing?
Su Chengyi looked towards the kitchen. Anyway, she peeled the grapefruit so well.

Lin Zhiwan washed a transparent fruit bowl and was carefully peeling the red-heart pomelo pieces into the bowl with gloves on.

The previous video of “Zero Bowls” was a tutorial on how to make mango sago, a dessert that is very suitable for summer.

That's why she specially bought mangoes and grapefruits and took them home. She originally thought that she would have to record it several times before she could succeed, but she didn't expect that she could do it perfectly in just one take.

Mangoes go bad easily, so we all shared and ate them that day, and only the grapefruit is left today.

Lin Zhiwan peeled a large bowl of grapefruits and held them in front of Su Chengyi with a frown.

She couldn't free her hands, so she had to use her eyes to convey the message to him:
"Try it?"

Sometimes I feel that Lin Zhiwan’s eyes can really speak.

Su Chengyi lowered his head slightly, looked at her expectant eyes, and picked up a piece of grapefruit.

Sister Lin carefully selects the ingredients, so the taste is naturally very good. She has a natural sensitivity to ingredients.

It doesn’t have the astringent taste that is common in grapefruit, but has just the right sweetness and sourness, and it quenches thirst and relieves greasiness.

"Are these all for Zou Lian?"

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows and asked.

Lin Zhiwan nodded.

"It's not necessary."

Su Chengyi easily snatched the pomelo bowl from her hand.

Before Lin Zhiwan had time to be surprised, he turned around and walked out quickly.

"I heard Brother Dafei calling us to eat. He likes big meat skewers the most. It's just right for us to eat some fruit to relieve the greasiness."

"!!!"

Lin Zhiwan took off her gloves and hurriedly followed him, wanting to tell him that there were more in the refrigerator and that this was a return gift.

But Su Chengyi walked very fast, and he went downstairs as fast as ice skating.

As a result, when Lin Zhiwan jogged all the way downstairs, the scene in front of her was exactly the same as what this person described.

The long table of the food stall has been set up. Brother Xiaofei is directing the employees in the store to help put the chairs in place, while Brother Dafei, with his bare chest, is sprinkling chili and cumin on large skewers of beef and mutton.

Zou Lian, who originally came just to deliver a plum, was also kept. He decisively chose a seat in the corner and sat down. He bared his teeth at Su Chengyi, threatening him not to sit over there.

Lin Tong was originally planning to help carry the dishes, but just as he stretched out his hand, he was pushed by Brother Xiao Fei to sit at the table.

Su Chengyi held the pomelo bowl and sat next to Lin Tong as if nothing had happened.

"Eat?"

"Thank you, Mr. Yi!"

Lin Tong just smiled with gratitude when he realized that the bowl looked familiar, as if it was from his own home.

He raised his head and looked around, and sure enough, he saw his sister at the stairs. After they looked at each other, she smiled and nodded.

It means that he should just sit there and eat well.

Lin Tong sighed imperceptibly, picked up a slice of pomelo from the bowl, and when he put it into his mouth, he inexplicably felt a sourness that was not there.

"It is a great honor for us all to be able to gather here today!"

Before the meal officially started, Brother Da Fei, who was in charge of this "banquet", would say a few words as usual.

People living here seem to be used to it. Everyone waits obediently and no one starts eating in advance.

Although the grilled fish, beef and mutton in front of me look really tempting.

Not only that, the wine poured into the glass seemed to be the plum wine brewed by Da Fei and his friends themselves. It smelled of a special fruity aroma that made people want to taste it.

Su Chengyi licked his lips and asked Lin Tong in a low voice.

"How long does Da Fei usually take to talk?"

Lin Tong thought about it and answered in a low voice:

"It won't take long. Brother Dafei's cultural level won't last more than two minutes."

"That's good."

Su Chengyi sat up straight again. He had already set his eyes on the piece of fish belly that looked very charred.

"Um, this, that, cough cough."

Sure enough, after a while, Big Brother Fei was at a loss for words. He held the wine glass and looked at Little Brother Fei next to him with some embarrassment.

The latter of course understood what he meant and stepped forward to take the wine glass from his hand.

"Today, new and old friends come to meet, not for anything else, but to drink and talk, and enjoy the time!"

Brother Xiao Fei raised his glass and knocked on the table.

"cheers!"

"cheers!!!"

The atmosphere was very lively with clinking glasses.

It was hard for Su Chengyi to imagine seeing such harmonious neighborhood scenes in an apartment building in the city.

The reference of the "new friends and old friends" just mentioned is very clear. The new friend probably refers to Zou Lian who just moved in, and the old friend. It's probably him.

Su Chengyi picked up the piece of fish and put it into the bowl.

The fish skin is roasted very crispy, with the aroma of peppercorns, the fish meat is tender and smooth, and is coated with red oil and roasted to make it very tasty.

Su Chengyi choked due to the spiciness, but still felt that he could not taste such a delicious meal even in the most expensive and luxurious restaurant.

The food stalls were bustling with activity, smoke from the ovens on the tables rose up, mixed with the warm summer breeze, and the smell of plum wine wafted through the air.

Su Chengyi was just thinking about taking away the delicious-looking fish tail when someone patted him on the shoulder.

It was Brother Xiaofei who came over with a wine jug and smiled. He took one look at his still full glass and made a "tsk" sound in mock dissatisfaction.

"Oh my, you're hiding here and it's hard for me to find you! So you're secretly raising fish?"

“I didn’t have time to drink.”

Su Chengyi spread his hands innocently.

"Okay, okay, then have a fight with me first!"

Brother Xiao Fei excitedly poured himself a full cup and inadvertently glanced at Zou Lian who was busy eating skewers in another corner.

"Hey! That kid over there! Come over here too, come over here too!"

Brother Xiao Fei immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

Zou Lian looked around in disbelief and pointed at himself.

"me?"

"Yes, you! Let's drink one together!"

"."

Zou Lian had to reluctantly put down the mutton skewers in his hand.

God knows how many days it has been since he had such a hearty meal of meat. He feels that he will suffer from indigestion after today's big meal. I'll buy some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets later.

After Zou Lian came over reluctantly, Brother Xiao Fei raised his glass again and said happily:
"Great! Meeting you three young people makes me feel decades younger! Xiao Zou, you are Cheng Yi's good friend, right?
Chengyi’s good friends are our good friends. If you have any problems in the future, tell me and I will definitely not let you get bullied.”

He patted Zou Lian's shoulder vigorously.

Zou Lian was choked by the slap and was unable to speak. He just nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, let's do it!"

The cups collided with each other with a crisp sound.

The homemade fruit wine tastes sweet, Su Chengyi thought as he took the first sip.

So the degree must not be very high.

So he innocently let his guard down.

After drinking several large cups in a row, I realized that something was wrong.

It's true that I didn't feel nauseous or uncomfortable from the stimulation, but I just felt dizzy and suddenly very sleepy.

Su Chengyi gradually felt that the sounds of talking and laughing around him became distant and turned into drowsiness.

Lin Tong seemed to be hesitant to speak from the moment he drank his first glass, but seeing that he seemed to be enjoying it very much, he was afraid that reminding him would spoil his fun, so he kept observing his condition nervously.

However, Su Chengyi never got angry when drinking, nor did he act crazy. His state was not much different from his usual state, so Lin Tong couldn't find anything fishy after monitoring him for a long time.

It was not until he suddenly stood up staggeringly for some reason and almost accidentally overturned the table that Lin Tong realized that this guy had been drunk since early morning!
Zou Lian was gnawing on a roasted pig's trotter opposite him, sneering in his heart. It was obvious that this guy didn't drink often, and his alcohol tolerance was very average.

You know, the most uncontrollable alcohol content in the world is this kind of homemade wine.

It looks and smells like a light and unremarkable fruit wine, but in fact, it is very likely to make you drunk after just one glass.

But even though he was laughing, when he saw Lin Tong struggling to support the staggering Su Chengyi, Zou Lian finally cursed in a low voice and stood up.

He put down the fragrant roasted pig's trotter, took off his disposable gloves, walked forward and put his arm around Su Chengyi's right arm.

"Come on, help him upstairs and let him rest for a while."

Lin Tong breathed a sigh of relief when someone came to lend a hand. He was particularly worried that he would not be able to support Su Chengyi, and that the two of them might fall into the metal trash can next to them.

"Student Zou Lian."

When going upstairs, Lin Tong suddenly thought of something and spoke out.

"what happened?"

In fact, Zou Lian's attitude towards Lin Tong was still very friendly.

"Can you let Mr. Yi go to your place and lie down for a while? I have washed my sheets and quilt covers today. Here they are."

Lin Tong pointed somewhat embarrassedly at the three-piece bed set fluttering in the wind on the balcony.

"."

Zou Lian's face looked uglier than if he had eaten a fly.

He originally wanted to say that your house has two bedrooms, but then he thought that it was the girl's room, and it didn't seem right to let a drunk lie in there.

But he really didn't want this guy to sleep in his bed. He always felt uncomfortable.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Lin Tong waved his hand and said:
"Actually, you can rest on the sofa for a while. My sofa is quite big, it's for two people."

".That would be great."

Zou Lian turned his head away and answered in a calm tone.

After some effort, the two of them finally moved Su Chengyi to the sofa.

Zou Lian put his hands on his hips and panted, glaring at Su Chengyi unhappily.

"You force yourself to drink even though you can't drink. You're amazing!"

Su Chengyi closed his eyes and smiled, as if he heard what he said.

"Hey, why are you pretending to be asleep when you're clearly awake?! Are you trying to trick me into doing hard labor for you?!"

Zou Lian was easily angered by him again and immediately shouted angrily.

"Student Zou Lian! He must not be fully awake right now. He can't hear you talking to him!
Okay, let him rest here for a while, let's go downstairs first! I just heard that Brother Dafei also wants to have a drink with you."

Lin Tong was afraid that he would take advantage of this opportunity to vent his anger on the drunk man, so he had to find an excuse to pull him away.

"No, he is really awake. I just saw him smile."

Zou Lian's argumentative voice mixed with Lin Tong's persuasive voice, faded away along with the footsteps of the two people going down the stairs.

The sofa cushion smelled of laundry detergent. Su Chengyi struggled to move his limbs and change his posture.

In fact, he was still awake, but he had no strength and his consciousness was hazy.

I was half asleep and half awake, and I couldn't open my eyes.

Su Chengyi felt as if he had fallen asleep, but he could vaguely hear some noises from a dinner party downstairs.

When drunk, I have no concept of time.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt something cold covering his forehead, and then it was wiped gently and patiently.

After that, the feeling of hotness after drinking subsided a lot, leaving only a light feeling of tipsiness.

In the dimness, it seems as if I have returned to a peaceful afternoon in my childhood, making me just want to take a nap.

What woke Su Chengyi up was the sweet smell of honey mixed with grapefruit. He opened his eyes and vaguely saw a white porcelain bowl on the coffee table next to him.

The smell came from there, and it was still steaming. It was probably honey grapefruit tea or something like that, used to sober up.

Su Chengyi rubbed his temples with difficulty, focused his vision again, and saw the figure sitting in front of the desk.

It seems to be Lin Zhiwan.

Her hair is only shoulder-length, probably to make it easier to manage. From this angle, you can see the shape of her butterfly bones on her back.

Lin Zhiwan sat very straight and serious, the posture of someone who was writing seriously.

Practicing calligraphy again, Su Chengyi thought silently.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted not praising Lin Zhiwan before.

Well, at least we should give out a “Most Hard-working Student Award”, right?

Su Chengyi raised his wrist to look at the watch. It was almost two hours since he started eating.

By this calculation, he slept for at least an hour.

But the noise downstairs did not decrease, but instead became more and more lively.

"Wanwan!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from downstairs.

Lin Zhiwan was startled and subconsciously turned her head to look at Su Chengyi on the sofa.

Su Chengyi reacted quickly and chose to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.

Otherwise, seeing that he woke up, Sister Lin would definitely be busy asking him about his well-being.

"Wanwan, can you please get another bottle of wine?"

It seems to be Brother Da Fei's voice.

Wow, Su Chengyi thought of the big jar of wine they brought out at the beginning of the dinner.

Is that all done?
Lin Zhiwan walked to the door and seemed to nod in agreement.

"Come on! You have to drink at least a few sips today."

"That's it!"

"Tongtong, go pull your sister down."

The people downstairs were urging her to come in more and more. Lin Zhiwan was obviously not used to being the center of attention, so she nodded helplessly, then hesitated at the door.

Su Chengyi seemed to be able to feel her conflicted gaze lingering on his face for a while.

After a while, I heard her hurriedly coming down the stairs.

Su Chengyi then opened his eyes again.

Next time I really shouldn't drink too much, because now these two siblings have to take turns to take care of him, just like they are taking turns in a nursery.

Su Chengyi sighed, stood up with difficulty, and reached for the bowl of honey grapefruit tea on the table.

The desk was already filled with Lin Zhiwan's special calligraphy props, which she had put away embarrassedly because of his teasing.

Su Chengyi was just thinking about whether he should go against his conscience and praise her masterpiece when a sudden draught blew through the room.

The bed sheets that Lin Tong hung out on the balcony were scratched and made a whistling sound. Fortunately, he had the foresight to clip the corners of the quilt with a clip in advance.

But the calligraphy papers on the desk were not so lucky. When the wind blew, they flew everywhere and were scattered all over the small room.

Su Chengyi spread out his palms to protect the rim of the bowl in time, thus successfully preventing the paper from falling into his grapefruit tea.

so close.

Su Chengyi loosened his hand, picked up the messy white paper, and looked at the contents on it with interest.

Although written densely, they are all the same poem.

"The exquisite dice and the red beans make me miss you deeply."

Each stroke is still written with great care, but the overall effect is surprisingly neat.

Su Chengyi's mouth curled up. He didn't expect that she actually wrote this poem.

From Wen Tingyun's "Two Newly-Made Willow Branches Poems".

Like a delicate dice inlaid with red beans, do you know this deep longing?

It should be Yang Liu who taught it. She likes to teach such love poems with delicate emotions the most.

While Su Chengyi was recalling the contents of the poem, he bent down and picked up another piece of white paper that had fallen at his feet.

When his eyes fell on the paper, he was slightly startled.

"."

Su Chengyi felt an inexplicable palpitation. He stood up with the help of the sofa and grabbed a few scattered pieces of white paper, trying to prove that this outrageous idea might just be his illusion.

However, there are probably not so many illusions in the world.

The same verses are written on all these fluttering white papers.

"The exquisite dice and the red beans make me miss you deeply."
