I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 556: The Unbearable Empress

"What does Teacher Su think?"

Chen Jinzhi opened his eyes again and looked up at him.

"I'm sorry, I was afraid you couldn't see the way clearly."

Su Chengyi laughed without any apology.

At this backlit angle, his outline is gilded, like he's in a superhero movie.

Perhaps because he had spent a day on the crew, Chen Jinzhi suddenly began to doubt the authenticity of this scene.

I have been burdened with pressure and responsibilities during this period of time. Now that the dust has settled, I feel empty and lost.

"I saw the message you sent. Congratulations."

As Su Chengyi spoke, he slowly walked backwards. Chen Jinzhi followed his steps, and the two walked towards the SUV together.

“Although I never thought you would fail, given your personality, this period must have been very hard, right?

I should have told you earlier not to take Brother Zheng's words too seriously. He is like that. He gets angry over the smallest of issues."

"No."

Chen Jinzhi denied it subconsciously, and then said softly in his heart: It's just a little hard.

Su Chengyi's back hit the hood of the SUV. He blocked Chen Jinzhi's eyes and turned off the car.

The bright car lights went out, and the surroundings fell into the dim night again. The desert at night seemed mysterious and distant.

"Did the audition go well? I heard that Caroline is a difficult director. Didn't she criticize you? By the way, why did it take so long to finish? I thought I was going to go to the hotel to find you."

Su Chengyi himself might not have realized that he suddenly became more talkative, but he knew the reason.

Because Chen Jinzhi looked a little strange, he didn't even manage his usual facial expressions and just looked at him quietly.

But I will still answer his questions one by one.

"It went smoothly. The director was very nice, but the queue time was a little longer."

Her answer was too brief. Even if Su Chengyi was slow-witted, he could realize that things were definitely not that simple. So after Chen Jinzhi finished speaking, he still did not respond, but just raised his eyebrows to signal her to continue.

Chen Jinzhi saw that he was determined to get to the bottom of the matter and knew that he could not fool him, so he sighed and continued:
“In fact, Director Caroline initially felt that the role of Georgia was not suitable for me.”

"Because you're so beautiful, right?"

Detective Su Chengyi is possessed and solves the case in one second, while the scheming frog keeps touching your belly.

However, the reason is so obvious that there is no need to guess.

Chen Jinzhi paused and skipped answering this question at the right time.

Although she is the type who is aware of her beauty, it is still difficult for her to openly praise her own beauty.

“So, she originally wanted me to give up the role and recast it.”

"Why does it feel like a good thing?"

Su Chengyi said this.

That's true. By giving up an unlikable villain NPC, you might be able to get a more positive character with more screen time. It's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

“It’s a good idea, but I refused.”

Chen Jinzhi thought about it and said bluntly.

"Why refuse?"

"Because I don't think Georgia is a hateful villain, and I don't want my sudden change of heart to affect the fair competition of other characters."

Chen Jinzhi has always been very open and honest in her actions. Although with her meticulous mind, she can easily use some tricks to benefit herself without anyone noticing.

But she never used it.

Most of the time, she would just see through the many obstacles her competitors set for her, without saying anything, and would just cleverly avoid them.

Su Chengyi looked at her indifferent expression with mixed feelings, so he raised his hand and touched her head.

Only after I touched it did I realize something was wrong. This action was something I often did when I was with Miss Chu. After it became a habit, I couldn't change it for a while.

Fortunately, Chen Jinzhi did not react too much to this, he just drooped his eyelashes.

The next second, she continued with what she had just said:

"Teacher Su, do you remember a long time ago when you asked me how many seconds of personal footage I would be allocated during the company's assessment?"

"Three seconds."

Because the number was so outrageous, Su Chengyi remembered it very clearly and said it out loud.

"Yes, so it can be considered as my job. With very few scenes and inherent disadvantages, I have to make the audience remember this character and even like this character."

Chen Jinzhi smiled gently, his eyes moving.

“This is the legendary killing part.”

When she said this, it was as if she briefly flashed back to the genius idol Iris on the stage.

Su Chengyi was distracted for a moment, thinking that he should make a rule - Chen Jinzhi was not allowed to flirt anytime and anywhere.

At this point, Chen Jinzhi paused and asked:
"When did Teacher Su decide to come and see me?"

"It starts from the moment you get this audition opportunity."

Su Chengyi said very calmly.

Chen Jinzhi's eyelashes trembled, obviously underestimating the power of the straight man's sudden straight shot.

"Because this is the new starting point of your career, I think I must be there to witness it as soon as possible."

Su Chengyi said this in a very official tone. In his eyes, this was a matter of course and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Instead, Chen Jinzhi sighed softly.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance? It's not safe for you to drive so late."

"Brother Zheng is driving the car."

Su Chengyi smiled, took her hand and pointed her in a direction.

Xiao Zheng was standing with Lulu. He was wearing thin clothes and shivering with cold. He was trying to persuade Lulu to give him her coat.

"Lulu, think about it, if your brother Zheng is frozen right now, you will have to negotiate all the contracts from now on."

"Even if you say so, there's no reason for a girl to take off her coat and let a boy wear it!"

Lulu wrapped herself in her orange coat with a vigilant look on her face, showing no intention of giving in.

"Then let's each wear it for five minutes, taking turns, so no one will feel cold."

"Why should I suffer a loss?"

"Take off."

"I do not!"

"Believe it or not, I won't deduct your bonus."

"If you dare to deduct, I will sue you at the Labor Bureau!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Jinzhi couldn't help but turn his head and look at Su Chengyi.

He also wore a thin shirt over his short-sleeved shirt, but he didn't feel cold at all.

Without hesitation, she unbuttoned her coat.

But Su Chengyi quickly realized her intention and pressed down her fingers.

"No, I was in the car the whole time. I'm not cold at all. If you don't believe me, touch my hand."

"You'll get cold if you stay outside for too long."

Chen Jinzhi looked at him and did not give in.

“It’s not cold at all.”

Su Chengyi took her hand in his palm.

"If you think it's going to be cold, let's just walk around here and move around a bit."

Hearing him say this, Chen Jinzhi looked up at the location of the road sign ahead. It was only about one or two hundred meters away from the camp, so there shouldn't be any problem with safety.

"Go back to that sign."

"it is good."

Su Chengyi smiled, took out his cell phone from his pocket, turned on the flashlight and shone it under the two people's feet. The flat road was covered with gravel, so there was no need to worry about slipping and falling, but the presence of light could alert the cars that might be coming from a distance.

When the two passed the other side, Xiao Zheng was still eyeing Lulu's coat.

"You're taking a narrow path, classmate Xiaolu."

"It's narrow!"

Lulu yelled in annoyance, but when she saw Chen Jinzhi walking towards her, she couldn't help but waved happily.

Chen Jinzhi smiled slightly in response.

Lulu was stunned for a moment. Even such a great event as the successful audition could not make her smile like this, but she could do so when she saw Su Chengyi.

"Brother Zheng, if you're cold, go sit in the car for a while."

Su Chengyi raised his chin.

"I guess you have some conscience."

Xiao Zheng crossed his arms, stamped his feet, and spread his hands.

Su Chengyi took out the key from his pocket and threw it accurately into his hand.

"Lulu, you should stay in the car for a while too. We'll take a walk and be back soon."

Chen Jinzhi said gently.

"Okay, Sister Iris, are you cold? I'll give you my coat."

Lulu demonstrated on the spot what double standard operation is, which made Xiao Zheng very dissatisfied and he shook his keychain making an annoying "rustling" noise.

Chen Jinzhi glanced at Su Chengyi next to him, and got a look from him that said "I would never wear clothes of this color even if you kill me."

She smiled faintly and shook her head.
"no need."

After watching the two men return to the car cursing, Su Chengyi and Chen Jinzhi walked towards the road sign ahead.

The moon rose higher, and the moonlight made the vision hazy, as if covered by a veil.

Su Chengyi waved the flashlight a few times, and the off-road vehicle's lights flashed a few times in response.

Chen Jinzhi was amused by this little game between men and wanted to laugh. He turned his head to look at Su Chengyi, but stopped in his tracks.

"Teacher Su."

"Ok?"

Su Chengyi stopped and followed her, not knowing what was going on, and was looked at from head to toe by her.

"You don't look like you came here by car. You look like you came on foot. You might have fled."

Chen Jinzhi said.

The light wasn't good enough just now, so she didn't notice it.

When I looked again under the moonlight mixed with the lamplight, I found that Su Chengyi was completely covered in dust and his hair was messy, with clumps of hair standing up here and there.

Chen Jinzhi stood on tiptoe to help him comb his hair, and felt that there was even some sand hidden in it. He felt angry and amused at the same time.

Su Chengyi reacted belatedly and explained:
"I opened the car window on the way here, and it might have been the wind that blew it, and there was sand in the wind."

"Fool."

Chen Jinzhi patiently helped him clean it up bit by bit, and a gentle smile unconsciously appeared on his brows.

"Forget it, I'll just go back to the hotel and take a shower later."

Su Chengyi scratched his hair and decided to give up treatment.

At this moment, the two of them had already walked under the road sign. The height of the moon was just above the road sign, illuminating the words on it.

"256km ahead is uninhabited area, please make repairs in time."

Su Chengyi was stunned. He didn't expect that the filming location this time was so close to a truly uninhabited area.

Caroline really was determined to put all her life's skills into filming this drama. Thinking of this, Su Chengyi was happy again about the news that Chen Jinzhi passed the audition.

But when the words came to my lips, they turned into a sentence:
"Look, the moon is so round today."

Chen Jinzhi looked up when he heard this, and indeed saw an exceptionally bright full moon, shining brightly.

"Yes."

Her profile as she looked at the moon was particularly cool and beautiful. Su Chengyi looked at her carefully for a while before speaking:

"Jinzhi."

"Ok?"

Chen Jinzhi almost didn't react to this address. He usually called her by her full name and rarely called her like this.

"You passed the audition, aren't you happy?"

Su Chengyi told all his confusion tonight.

Everyone else was very happy. When Xiao Zheng found out, he almost slammed the steering wheel with excitement. Lulu was filled with joy from head to toe. From a distance, the atmosphere on the crew was obviously very good.

Only Chen Jinzhi felt a bit out of touch, as if she was not the center of celebration.

This is obviously not reasonable.

Chen Jinzhi guessed that he would definitely ask this question. She lowered her eyelashes, thought for a while, but shook her head.

"I am probably happy that I didn't disappoint everyone."

"But you don't look happy like this."

Su Chengyi reached out and shook the iron pole of the road sign. After testing its stability, he leaned against it with confidence.

Chen Jinzhi was used to his sudden switch to power saving mode wherever he went, so he raised the corner of his mouth for a moment.

"Hey, that's right."

Su Chengyi drew a bracket shape in the air with his fingers.

"Smile."

Hearing him say this, the curve of Chen Jinzhi's mouth deepened a little more. She took two steps closer and took the initiative to reach out and hug Su Chengyi.

"I just feel that all the other good things combined don't seem to be as happy as seeing you."

"Is that right?"

Su Chengyi held her face and couldn't help but kiss her smiling eyebrows.

"Ah."

Chen Jinzhi closed her eyes and responded, her eyelashes inadvertently sweeping across Su Chengyi's face.

"Whenever something good happens, I always think, if only you were here, if only you were here"

She murmured.

On the surface, she seems to be living a stable life, but in fact, she is always out of touch with the world.

The person is still here, but his mind has long since drifted away with another person.

This is a very morbid mentality. Chen Jinzhi thought that sooner or later her entire life would be ruined.

Like a kite fluttering in the air, with the string in his hand.

But it doesn’t matter, Chen Jinzhi thought again, her life already belonged to him anyway.

"So here I am."

Su Chengyi tightened his arms and held her tightly in his arms.

"As long as you want me to be there, I will not be absent."

Chen Jinzhi slowly opened his eyes. From this perspective, the moon was like a bright lamp, illuminating all the lies and love hidden in the dark.

How deep or shallow it is, true or false, who can tell?

"That's good."

Chen Jinzhi looked at the moon and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Such a beautiful moon, I want to watch it with Teacher Su."

However, the most wonderful thing is the reunion moon tonight, as it is hard to bear being alone tomorrow.
