I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 566: An entire universe for a red bean

"Meow meow."

I don’t know if he sensed her psychological activities, but Persimmon suddenly blinked and called out twice.

This time the sense of déjà vu is even stronger.

Chen Jinzhi was slightly stunned and gently scratched its chin with his fingers.

"It seems that Dried Persimmon is not a stupid kitten."

"Absolutely."

Su Chengyi's tone was very firm.

These days, Persimmon has grown a lot bigger. It no longer looks like a round ball of meat like when it was little. It now has some of the body lines of a cat.

Chen Jinzhi reached out and held it in his arms, and it soon made a "purring" sound to express its love.

So cats also look at faces, right?

Su Chengyi couldn't help but complain in his heart. The last time Xu Yang came to the studio to play with him, he wanted to forcefully hold the persimmon cake, but was punched twice by it. He looked so stubborn and unyielding.

Unexpectedly, she was so quiet in Chen Jinzhi's arms and enjoying it very much.

But think about it, who can refuse Chen Jinzhi's arms?

Su Chengyi turned on the light in the office and soon discovered that the small potted plant on the balcony had fallen to the ground.

There were no traces of any other suspects at the crime scene. Judging from the time and location of the crime, this was obviously the work of a guy who was acting cute and trying to get away with it.

Chen Jinzhi raised his eyes and said "Hmm?", then gently pinched the tip of the persimmon's tail.

"I didn't realize you were such a naughty kid."

Su Chengyi made a "tsk" sound, walked to the corner, picked up a broom, and cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces and dirt scattered on the ground.

No wonder there is a saying that if the earth were flat, cats would have pushed everything in the world down long ago.

"Will neco do evil at home?"

While sweeping the floor, Su Chengyi thought of another stupid cat and couldn't help asking.

"No, Neco is older and not as energetic as a kitten. His favorite thing now is sleeping."

"Too."

Inevitably, there were some traces of dirt on the wooden floor that were difficult to clean. Su Chengyi poked it a few times with the broom, and finally turned around, took a wet tissue, and half-knelt on the ground to wipe it bit by bit.

Chen Jinzhi held the persimmon cake and looked at the man's serious expression, feeling like laughing.

Persimmon seemed to know that he had made a mistake and kept burying his head in her arms.

"It's fine."

Chen Jinzhi felt a little itchy from being rubbed by the hair and let out a soft laugh from his throat.

"He just looks fierce, he won't hit you."

"Who said no?"

Su Chengyi wiped the floor until he could see people's reflections clearly, and then he stopped.

"This is a pot of grass that He Wufei took great pains to take care of. He managed to keep it alive, and now you've destroyed it. Just wait for him to find out and sever your share of the canned food."

With the canned food crisis ahead, Persimmon Meowed weakly in Chen Jinzhi's arms to express its protest.

"Sit down for a while. It must be tiring to hold a lump of meat."

Su Cheng pointed to the sofa, then poured a glass of water for Chen Jinzhi and placed it on the coffee table.

"No, it's very light."

Chen Jinzhi gently placed it on his lap and tenderly stroked the hedgehog-like hair on its back.

Su Chengyi turned around and went back to his desk, took out the key from the drawer and put it in his pocket.

"If the flight is at 6 o'clock, we can leave at around 4 o'clock and rest for a while."

"Ah."

Chen Jinzhi nodded and looked around the office environment.

It is a typical black, white and gray style, with no extra decoration. The only bright spot is the pot of green plant, which has now been knocked over.

Other than that, there are all the persimmon-like things, such as cat climbing frames, cat scratching boards, cat beds, and cat toys.
"Teacher Su, you will probably be very busy until the end of the year, right?"

she asked.

"maybe."

This is also the reason why Su Chengyi ran back late at night to work overtime.

Although the development progress of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is going smoothly, the game itself is too large and progress still needs to be accelerated if the expected goals are to be achieved.

Moreover, as a reborn person, Su Chengyi is clearly aware of many problems that existed in his previous life.

Therefore, when you start to become its development project team, you will try your best to avoid some of them.

For example, the endless stream of bugs, server maintenance, and the ever-present problem of plug-ins in FPS games all require a lot of effort to suppress and control.

This can really be said to be a big project.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Jinzhi nodded and curved his eyebrows.

Su Chengyi walked up to her, half squatted down, ruthlessly took the persimmon cake from her arms to the side, and took the position on her knees.

"How do I wear this?"

Su Chengyi took out the green jade locket and placed it in her hand.

"Yeah, just like wearing a jade Buddha when I was a kid."

Chen Jinzhi lowered his head to untie the knot, and the ends of his hair fell down as he moved, a few strands entangled with the red rope, with a faint scent of tea.

In fact, she also had such a pendant when she was a child, a gold and jade peace lock. When she was born, Shu Wang put it on her with joy. He probably also prayed devoutly in the temple, hoping that she would grow up safely and healthily.

However, in the difficult days that followed, when the family had no stable source of income, facing the high cost of the psychiatric medication that Shu Wang needed to take regularly, Chen Jinzhi secretly sold it.

At that time, she did not believe in these so-called superstitious symbols, but valued the value of things themselves.

But Shu Wang was very angry about this. As far as she could remember, it seemed to be the first time she had lost her temper while being sober, and even refused to take medicine.

Thinking of everything that happened afterwards, Chen Jinzhi suddenly felt that sometimes people really have to believe in fate.

As her thoughts wandered, the rope in her hand had been untied. She raised her eyelashes and asked:

"Would you like to wear it now?"

Asking knowingly.

But Su Chengyi still nodded obediently and replied:

"Wear it now."

Then a smile easily appeared in Chen Jinzhi's eyes. She gently straightened the collar of his shirt, and then put the red rope around his neck.

She performed this series of actions slowly and anxiously, as if to give him time to hesitate and regret.

"Once you tie it on, you can't take it off, right?"

Finally, she looked him straight in the eyes and asked with a smile.

"Ah."

Su Chengyi nodded. Her peach blossom eyes were so lethal when viewed up close that they made people feel dizzy.

After getting his affirmative answer, Chen Jinzhi fastened the rope buckle. The cool green jade fell on his chest. The sudden feeling of a foreign body made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Su Chengyi pressed his chest through his shirt and felt that it might take some time to get used to this feeling.

"It's a peace locket, so it doesn't matter if it breaks later. There's a saying that breaking jade will ward off disaster for you."

Chen Jinzhi touched his head and said with a smile.

Su Chengyi shook his head and said:
"No way, I will protect it."

"It's here to protect you, idiot."

Chen Jinzhi sighed softly, leaned closer, and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

Before going to the airport, Su Chengyi carried the sleeping Persimmon into its cat bed and closed the office door again.

"My office seems to have become his luxurious villa."

Turning around and leaving, Su Chengyi couldn't help but complain.

“Wouldn’t it make you feel better when you see it while working?”

Chen Jinzhi brushed off the cat fur on his body, his tone somewhat unfathomable.

"Like a little sun, so cute."

"."

Somehow, Su Chengyi always felt that it sounded a bit awkward, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

It wasn't just awkward, it even had a hint of murderous intent. The risk mechanism was issuing a warning, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

Fortunately, Chen Jinzhi did not delve deeper into the topic. After sitting in the passenger seat, she fastened her seat belt while seemingly changing the subject unintentionally.

"Teacher Su, after I join the crew, I may not be able to come out for some time. The filming of the first two episodes is very important, and Director Caroline is ready for a long battle."

"I know."

Su Chengyi nodded and replied while turning the steering wheel.

“The shooting mode of your crew must be carefully polished for the first two episodes released. Whether it can attract the audience depends on this opening.

Moreover, as a group drama, many important characters have to be laid out in just two episodes. I guess, with your director's temper, he would probably reshoot a shot dozens of times if he was not satisfied with it."

Aston Martin drove out of the underground garage, the smooth curve of the car body perfectly blended into the dim night, and the engine sound was low-key and steady. Su Chengyi hadn't driven for a while, and now holding the steering wheel again, he felt like he was touching a long-lost big toy again.

So just after driving a thousand meters, the navigation system started to beep.

"Please note that you are speeding!"

Su Chengyi made a "tsk" sound, stepped on the brakes and stopped steadily at the traffic light ahead.

Chen Jinzhi was not at all alarmed by his speeding. She just looked quietly at the night outside the car window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Su Chengyi glanced at her several times in the rearview mirror, and finally chose to switch to a music station. Coincidentally, the song that played was "Ninety Thousand Words" which was just released today.

"Good evening, everyone. Today I bring you a beautiful song called "Ninety Thousand Words" from the new generation goddess singer Iris Chen Jinzhi. It's a very nice Chinese style song, gentle and melodious."

Su Chengyi was trying to hold back his laughter, but Chen Jinzhi had already turned around and pressed the button to change the radio station.

This time the song that played was Karen Mok's "Suddenly".

"I understand, I can't let go of your love,
Too familiar with your care,

inseparable

Is thinking of you a comfort or a sorrow?

Chen Jinzhi hummed a few lines softly along with the accompaniment. Her voice was very gentle and affectionate when singing this little love song.

It felt like Faye Wong was singing Karen Mok's song, Su Chengyi thought silently.

"When we can't meet, Teacher Su, please take good care of yourself, eat well, and sleep well."

Suddenly, Chen Jinzhi spoke again.

"it is good."

Su Chengyi watched the countdown of the red light end and nodded in agreement.

"The same goes for you. I'll visit you when I have time. You have to be careful and don't let me catch you slacking off and skipping meals again."

"Okay."

Chen Jinzhi smiled gently, and her profile looked so beautiful that it seemed unreal under the neon lights.

"Don't think it's a big deal. I'm very happy that you came all the way here to celebrate my birthday with me today."

Su Chengyi thought about it and expressed his feelings very frankly.

Although it’s okay to forget, it’s definitely happier to know that you’re being missed.

What's more, even though she was so busy, she still chose to come and see him.

"Teacher Su knows that you are always my number one priority. How could you really think that I would forget something as important as your birthday? Idiot."

Chen Jinzhi had already guessed what he was thinking, and shook his head and smiled:

"Other people think that the crew's affairs are a big deal, but to me, Teacher Su is the sky."

"Thank you, I'm really happy."

Su Chengyi was so happy that he accidentally stepped on the accelerator again.

The navigation system soon emitted a sharp sound:

“You are speeding!!!”

"Su Chengyi."

Chen Jinzhi calmly looked at the car speed that was already rising to red, and spoke slowly.

"sorry."

Su Chengyi instantly became obedient, and the engine sound of the Aston Martin also became much steadier.

When they arrived at the airport, Chen Jinzhi calmly performed a lesson for Su Chengyi.

She took off her windbreaker and left it in the car, revealing the beige knitted jacket and white shirt underneath. She tied her hair into a half-high ponytail and put on a mask and framed glasses.

Just a series of very simple operations, and she seemed like a different person.

She completely changed from a cool CEO to a homely girlfriend.

"That way, even if we're photographed by paparazzi, it won't be a big problem."

Chen Jinzhi pushed up her glasses. The lenses on her glasses had a very low degree, but this pair of framed glasses made her look much more intellectual.

Is this the so-called self-cultivation of a female star? Su Chengyi was amazed.

"Okay, Teacher Su, go back early. You can still rest for a while. Don't send me off."

Chen Jinzhi moved closer and gently brushed his slightly blue eyelids with his fingers.

They had both been up all night, and now both looked a bit like some famous protected species.

Su Chengyi knew that he couldn't force her to go at this time, as it would only increase the risk of being photographed by paparazzi, so he just nodded and pulled her mask up a little.

Chen Jinzhi has a small face, and this pull almost covers most of his face.

Su Chengyi looked into her eyes and said:
"I'll take your windbreaker back and wash it for you."

Chen Jinzhi didn't expect him to suddenly say such a thing, and he laughed for a moment.

"No, if it's too much trouble, just throw it away."

"No trouble."

Su Chengyi shook his head.

After this inexplicable topic came to an end, the atmosphere in the car was silent for a while.

In the end, Chen Jinzhi took the initiative to approach him and kissed him on the face through the mask.

"Will you miss me?"

"meeting."

Su Chengyi hugged her, buried his face in her neck, and nodded slowly.

This kind of farewell at the airport has been played out many times, but this time it seemed particularly uncomfortable.

Su Chengyi sat in the car, watching Chen Jinzhi's back disappear at the entrance, a little dazed.

It wasn't until the phone in his pocket vibrated that Chen Jinzhi said that he had completed the registration procedures and asked him if he was on his way back.

Su Chengyi thought about it and replied that he was on the way.

Chen Jinzhi first replied with a "hmm", and then added slowly:
"It's dangerous to play with your phone while driving, Mr. Su."

Very obvious ridicule.

Su Chengyi's clumsy lie was exposed in an instant, so he had to start the engine awkwardly and deleted the background of WeChat in an attempt to cover up his mistake.

This time, I found that the background video APP was still on the homepage of "Zero Bowl".

Su Chengyi was slightly stunned. She opened the program, and after the system automatically refreshed, a new video quickly popped up on her homepage.

The release time is today's "00:00", exactly midnight.

Lin Zhiwan’s previous video titles were all very simple and clear dish names, such as “Squirrel Fish”, “Egg Fried Rice”, “Braised Pork” and so on.

She has always been doing the purest cooking tutorials, so she never adds any information in the video description, except asking everyone not to send gifts or something like that.

Of course, the more she begged, the more excited everyone became.

However, this time the video title is very unusual:
"Happy birthday, stay healthy and safe."

Su Chengyi's finger paused before clicking on the video.

This is a tutorial for longevity noodles.

In the camera, Lin Zhiwan quietly kneaded the dough, and finally pulled it into a complete long strip, which means longevity.

While the water was boiling, she began to cut and carve carrots. Her movements were very skillful and deft, and it was obvious that she had practiced many times.

A light soup base, garnished with green vegetables, a golden fried egg, and finally the four words "Happy Birthday" carved out of carrots.

Even the background music is a soothing piano version of Happy Birthday.

The shooting and editing techniques were a bit clumsy compared to before, and at one angle half of her profile was even accidentally revealed.

Obviously, this video was made by Lin Zhiwan alone.

At the end, there are some very crude and cheap special effects.

A cartoon picture of a birthday cake, with a line of awkward small words typed stiffly on the screen in the original font.

"Happy birthday, may all your wishes come true, and may everything go well for you year after year."

He even carefully hid his name.

The video had been playing for a long time, and the phone screen went dark, but Su Chengyi was still in a daze.

The vehicle's engine was still running for a while, and the radio station was still playing randomly.

"Fate is so funny
Let those who love be silent

A whole universe
Change a red bean

Memories are like trapped beasts

Lonely for too long
And gradually gentle

Let go of the fist

It’s more free.”

So that's how it is, he didn't understand it at that time, Su Chengyi thought.

It's not just the exquisite dice and the red beans, but the deep love I have for you. Do you know?

There is a whole universe in exchange for a red bean.
