I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 507 Chen Jinzhi's 19-year-old wish

Su Chengyi wanted to think more about the issue of "matching", but time was running out.

He pressed his palm on the watch and could feel the pointer ticking "tick-tick", a very slight turning sound.

However, due to the special nature of this date, he felt that his heart was beating at the same rhythm.

For a city as large as Shanghai, this was just an ordinary night. Although it was approaching midnight, the streets were still busy with cars and people.

However, some people held their breath, anxiously waiting for twelve o'clock.

"drop--"

Su Chengyi is a person who cares very much about accuracy. Whenever he has nothing to do, he will compare the time given by the National Time Service Center and carefully check how the hands of his watch are moving.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the watch on his wrist is one of the most accurate watches in the world.

Su Chengyi had absolute trust in it, so when the dial suddenly began to vibrate, he looked at Chen Jinzhi without hesitation.

"Happy birthday."

As soon as he finished speaking, the skin care product advertisement that had been rotating on the LED screen of the building opposite suddenly turned into a line of giant text.

"Happy 8.21 Birthday to Iris Chen Jinzhi"

The background is a very girly pink with rose petals constantly floating through it.

Su Chengyi's face looked a little ugly under the fluorescent light.

I swear to God, when he contacted the staff to customize it, the schematic diagram they showed him was not like this!

And then there were even more heavyweight artistic word changes and special effects, and colorful electronic fireworks exploded.

The heroine of this celebration, Chen Jinzhi, was leaning against the railing and laughing.

Although it could be seen that she had restrained herself, Su Chengyi still felt somewhat hurt.

"If I tell you that I didn't do this, will you believe me?"

"Well, I believe."

Chen Jinzhi nodded with a smile on his face.

Su Chengyi sighed in frustration and leaned over the railing to look down.

When the subtitle "Midnight" appeared, the passers-by downstairs collectively exclaimed in unison, and the streets in the early morning suddenly became as lively as if it were New Year's Day.

At this time, many people were still stopping here, apparently taking photos and checking in.

Su Chengyi continued:
"Haha, it was actually the fan club's suggestion, really."

"That's what I said."

Chen Jinzhi's voice was full of laughter.

Su Chengyi looked across and began to regret it.

When he went to purchase the ad time reservation, he had originally only booked ten minutes. However, when the staff saw that it was custom-made for Iris, their eyes lit up and they enthusiastically added five minutes.

Which meant he had to sit here and admire this thing for another fourteen minutes.

But Chen Jinzhi seemed to really like it. She looked at the words from afar, and the reflection in her eyes was sparkling.

At this time, many people in the world were wishing Chen Jinzhi a happy birthday, but she only cared about the person next to her.

".Don't you think it's a bit earthy?"

Su Chengyi looked at her eyebrows and couldn't help asking.

"do not think so."

The curve of Chen Jinzhi's mouth rose a little more.

"Then don't feel so rustic later."

Su Chengyi said worriedly.

This is all the fault of that damn staff member. He persuaded us to keep saying "Happy 8.21 Birthday, Iris Chen Jinzhi" in a very emotional voice, which seemed a bit too boring. Generally speaking, there should be another sentence to replace it.

And the next second, the subtitles on the LED screen changed to:
"IRIS I LOVE YOU"

There are also several pixel-style pink hearts with white edges following it.

Chen Jinzhi burst out laughing.

Su Chengyi buried his face in his arms in shame.

It is not known whether Chen Jinzhi was taken down by this trick, but the passers-by downstairs were taken down by it, and they all shouted "Wow!!!"

But such exclamations made Su Chengyi feel even more embarrassed.

In fact, it is very difficult for him to make such a high-profile display of love, and it takes a lot of psychological preparation to achieve this step.

Chen Jinzhi held back his smile and reached out to pinch his ear, which felt a little hot.

"Okay~ Isn't this a great idea? I like it very much."

Su Chengyi didn't raise his head and said sullenly:

"I do not believe."

"Hey, it's become something else. I haven't had time to take a picture yet."

Chen Jinzhi's tone was somewhat regretful.

"?"

Su Chengyi frowned instantly.

Are you kidding me? It should be played for 15 minutes. Scam?!

He raised his head with a determined mentality of protecting consumer rights.

However, the words "IRIS I LOVE YOU" are still shining brightly on the building opposite.

After all, we should still protect our rights.

It's just to the beautiful female liar next to her who has great acting skills.

As Su Chengyi was thinking this, Chen Jinzhi grasped his collar with a little force with her fingers and kissed him on tiptoe.

The moon was hanging behind her, and the pink light from the screen was reflected in her eyes, forming a brilliant and dazzling glow.

Su Chengyi couldn't take her eyes off him at all, and only realized belatedly that the moon behind her seemed particularly bright tonight.

When the kiss ended, Chen Jinzhi just stepped back a little, looked into his eyes and said:

“I really like it.”

Su Chengyi nodded belatedly, and the moonlight seemed to sway gently along with her trembling eyelashes.

"Did Teacher Su customize the last line of words himself?"

After a while, she asked with some suspicion.

"Ah."

Su Chengyi answered affirmatively.

"The staff suggested your slogan, which was the Luoshen of the human world—"

"All right."

Chen Jinzhi covered his mouth with his palm in time.

Although no one in the world thinks there is anything wrong with this cheering message, Chen Jinzhi herself is still somewhat embarrassed.

"That person also said that IRIS can be used to be the best in the world or something like that."

Su Chengyi said vaguely.

"This one is also good."

Chen Jinzhi pinched his face lightly as a warning.

Su Chengyi smiled and held her fingers.

"Finally I decided to use this sentence, even though it's a little corny.

But, that's not the schematic they showed me when I ordered it, I swear."

"uh-huh."

Chen Jinzhi also laughed.

She turned her head again to look at the words on the building and turned on the camera on her mobile phone to take a picture.

"Thinking about it this way, it's not bad for my girlfriend to be a big star."

Su Chengyi sighed in the night breeze.

"Huh? Why?"

Chen Jinzhi adjusted the angle and fixed his eyes on the focus position in the center of the screen.

"Although I have to be as vigilant as a secret agent on weekdays and I am afraid that paparazzi will follow me wherever I go, but."

Su Chengyi paused, glanced at the hat and mask on the table, and once again silently praised Chen Jinzhi's anti-reconnaissance capabilities.

Otherwise, with their bold dating pattern, her love rumors would have been flying all over the place long ago.

“Because I’m a big star, I have to hide and not see the light of day.

But because I am a big star, I can say "I love you" without restraint at times like this."

Su Chengyi smiled. The public opinion on the Internet might have exploded at this moment.

Therefore, it was not only the citizens of Shanghai who saw this blatant confession, but people all over the world saw it.

But no one knew that this was a plan from the real boyfriend.

Well, there is a secret feeling of satisfaction.

Chen Jinzhi's movement in taking the photo trembled because of his words, so that the originally perfect angle turned into a blurry mess of waste film.

She recalled what he had just said in her mind and simply turned the camera to the front.

She raised her arm and adjusted the angle so that both of them appeared in the picture, with large subtitles in the background. She pressed the "Start Recording" button.

Su Chengyi suppressed the urge to avoid the camera and asked curiously, "What?"

"Of course, we'll take photos. Mr. Su Chengyi, please read the words on the big screen."

Chen Jinzhi shook the screen of his mobile phone up and down, as if the cameraman was urging him to speed up.

Su Chengyi licked her lips nervously, and felt that there was still a little bit of the lipstick she used today, with a faint raspberry scent.

"cough"

"IRIS I LOVE YOU."

He said this while looking at the camera, and suddenly felt that this was not a difficult thing to say.

Chen Jinzhi seemed amused by his serious tone, which sounded like an oath, but she quickly said in the same serious tone:
"I love you too."

The scene in the video froze at this moment, and she pressed the button to stop recording.

The ten minutes that Su Chengyi had reserved and the five minutes that the staff had forced upon him also ended at this moment.

The world returned to normal, and the images on the LED screens once again turned into the same old advertisements, so the lively and stagnant crowds began to flow again.

Su Chengyi glanced at Chen Jinzhi. She was concentrating on fiddling with the video she had just recorded with her head down. Her hair was casually hanging down beside her ears, and the white light from the phone screen reflected her well-shaped nose.

In this situation, he couldn't help but think.

Yes, the whole world can say "IRIS I LOVE YOU", but only one person will hear her say in her ear:
"I love you too."

The building shouting session, which seemed a bit successful in terms of failure, has ended.

The dining table had been cleaned up and a cake had been placed on it as Su Chengyi had informed them in advance.

A white vanilla ice cream cake, decorated with strawberries and white chocolate, with the words "Happy 19th Birthday" scrawled on red jam.

This is obviously not the work of the cake maker, but of Mr. Su.

His handwriting was actually very beautiful, but when he picked up the jam jar, his hands seemed to be out of control and his handwriting didn't look like a human at all.

The two of them went back inside and sat down. Su Chengyi looked at the cake and thought to himself that it was a good thing that they had no appetite during the meal just now, because the cake looked and tasted quite good.

"Because I really don't know what flavor you like, I chose vanilla, which is generally a good flavor, and my favorite strawberry flavor."

Su Chengyi explained as he unpacked the candle.

Chen Jinzhi lowered his head, smiled slightly, and nodded in agreement.

“A wise choice.”

She watched Su Chengyi take out two candles in the shape of "1" and "9" from the bag, and he handed "9" to her.

The two of them inserted the candles in a relatively symmetrical position that would not destroy the overall beauty, and lit the wick that was sticking out.

The chandelier in the restaurant's private room was dim to begin with, so the light from the burning candles was not affected, making Chen Jinzhi's face look warm.

Looking at the reflection of the candlelight in her eyes, Su Chengyi coughed lightly and said:

"You said before that you would save your birthday wish for today. Can you say it now?"

He moved his right hand under the table and squeezed the gift box in his pocket.

"Well, my birthday wish is that I hope Teacher Su won't ask me what my birthday wish is."

Chen Jinzhi clasped his hands together and spoke seriously.

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't waste the opportunity like this!"

Su Chengyi waved her hands, as if to disperse her words so that they would not be heard by the god who was responsible for fulfilling birthday wishes.

The flames of the candles were swaying left and right due to the fan he created. Chen Jinzhi smiled and wrapped his hands around them, begging for mercy:
"OK OK."

"It's okay if you really don't want to say it, but you have to make a good wish, and make a wish that only has to do with yourself, okay?"

She kept going around in circles on this topic, so Su Chengyi had no choice but to compromise.

"How did Teacher Su know that I would make a wish that had nothing to do with me?"

"Guess."

Su Chengyi spread his hands. If he didn't add a specific premise, he felt that Chen Jinzhi would most likely wish for him to be healthy.

Chen Jinzhi did not refute, but sighed softly and nodded in agreement.

So Su Chengyi cleared his throat and began to sing Happy Birthday.

Because he didn't want to be too vulgar, he specially added half of the "Birthday Song" commonly used in the vernacular area at the beginning.

"I wish you a long life and happiness, and congratulations on your birthday~
Every year has this day, every year has this day

Congratulations~Congratulations~"

When he was a child, Su Zelang often forced him to sing this song at his elders' birthday parties, so it was once the song he hated most in his childhood.

At this moment, I was sitting opposite Chen Jinzhi and singing, but I found it inexplicably funny.

The short half song ended with him laughing from time to time, and then the melody that was common to people all over the world began.

“Happy Birthday to you~
Happy Birthday to you~”

Su Chengyi looked at Chen Jinzhi opposite her. She closed her eyes and clasped her fingers together. The warm tones of the candlelight gave her a sacred halo. At first glance, she looked like a priest girl praying to God.

“Happy Birthday to Iris,

Happy Birthday to you! "

After Su Chengyi sang the last sentence, Chen Jinzhi also fulfilled her wish. She opened her eyes and blew out the candle.

"Happy birthday!"

Su Chengyi said again.

Chen Jinzhi raised his chin and looked over with a smile.

"Is this all you need to say in blessing?"

"."

Su Chengyi scratched his hair. He actually thought about writing a greeting card or something like that, but he felt that writing something to someone he was about to meet would seem a bit pretentious.

"Okay, I'll just say whatever comes to mind."

"Today is your birthday, but I was always distracted. I'm sorry. Because I'm always a little slow when it comes to feelings, so I can't guess who likes me, and I don't know if there is any truth hidden in your previous jokes."

"However, precisely because of this slowness, once I realize who I like, it probably means that I've almost fallen in love with her."

“So, happy birthday, Chen Jinzhi.

I think I love you more than you think. This love grows day by day and will never be taken back. "

After saying the heaviest words in his life, Su Chengyi took a deep breath, took out a gift box from his pocket and pushed it in front of her.

Chen Jinzhi lowered her eyes. She was glad that the candle had been extinguished, otherwise her falling tears would have become obvious.

The palm-sized gift box looked delicate. She untied the ribbon with her fingertips, and inside the box lay a ring.

The diamonds sparkled on the interlaced silver bands, which was obviously a wedding ring.

"I don't mean to force you to get married! I just couldn't think of a gift to give. When I was shopping at the mall, I thought this design was very nice, so I customized one without permission."

Su Chengyi explained that he was indeed attracted by the concept of the Möbius strip at that time.

Chen Jinzhi's eyes were also on the ring that he cared about, and the diamond became an accessory for embellishment.

After a while, she raised her eyes.

"Does Teacher Su want me to wear it?"

"No, I just wanted to give it to you."

Su Chengyi shook his head. He reached out and took the ring out of the box, and the silver chain hidden underneath was also taken out.

"It's actually a necklace. If you like, you can wear it on some occasions, but it might be a little hard to explain."

Su Chengyi said this, and the next second he saw Chen Jinzhi reach out to lift up her hair and wink in greeting.

So he stood up and walked behind her.

To be honest, he felt inexplicably nervous. It was just a necklace, but he had the illusion that he was putting a wedding ring on her.

It took quite some time to unfasten the clasp on the back of the necklace.

Fortunately, Chen Jinzhi was very patient. She lowered her head slightly, revealing her white neck. The bones of her shoulder blades were thin and beautiful.

After a while, a cool touch passed around her neck, and the ring slid through the silver chain to the front of her collarbone.

Chen Jinzhi held the ring and looked down. For a moment, the light cast by the diamond was a little dazzling.

Su Chengyi returned to his position and felt very satisfied with his vision.

Chen Jinzhi lowered her eyes. Apart from last year, she hadn't celebrated her birthday for a long time.

No birthday cake, no happy birthday song, no birthday present.

So, she once thought it was a very far-off thing, but now she has it all.

Chen Jinzhi couldn't help but think, it would be great if she was the one who was kept in the dark.

This way he wouldn't realize that there was a girl who was never included in his control group.

This way you won't have to realize over and over again that although she is special, she can never be the only one.

Every confession he made, every bit of love contained in it, could actually be told to the girl exactly as it was.

Just as he said, the moment he realized he liked her, he had actually fallen in love with her.

Chen Jinzhi continued to think in his blurred vision, wishing he could be as slow as him.

In this way, you won't be unable to control the urge to cry at the happiest moment of your life.

Or maybe happiness and sadness are just two sides of the same coin.

There's one last secret for tonight.

Chen Jinzhi's 19th birthday wish is still Su Chengyi, because all her wishes so far are related to him.
