I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 571 Shengrikuaile
"Two leave notes, do you want to do it?"

"No."

"Breakfast for a week, do it or not!"

"No."

Su Chengyi leaned back in his chair leisurely and shook his head nonchalantly.

"So what else do you want?!"

Ye Ju, who was sitting at the front table, glared and slammed the table angrily.

"Su Chengyi, don't go too far!!"

"I don't."

Su Chengyi spread his hands and changed his posture to cross his legs.

It was rare to see Miss Ye being humiliated, so he was in a very good mood at the moment.

After all, I have been harmed by her weird operations many times. Now that I finally get a chance, I must get back at her.

"Oh, seriously, you can just cover for me, it won't cost you anything!!"

Seeing that the hard one was useless, Ye Ju had to go back to the soft one. She lay on the table with her hands clasped together, looking at him pitifully.

Su Chengyi turned the pen in his hand, raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Why do you have to look for me? You are always running around in school and you must have a lot of connections, right? Is it necessary for you to look for me? I always feel like there is something fishy going on."

Although he said this seriously, he was actually just joking.

Ye Ju could tell that this person was deliberately teasing, but he had to bow his head under someone else's eaves, so he had to explain again:

"Su Daxue, how can I trouble you to help with ordinary matters? Isn't this an activity of the debate club? If I can go by myself or find a suitable person to replace me, I will definitely not bother you. You are so busy!"

"Is it possible that the two of us can compete in the fourth debate in the club?"

Su Chengyi was clicking the ballpoint pen in his hand, making a "click" sound. Ye Ju really wanted to punch his expressionless face twice.

"What else?! The key is that this activity is quite important. Have you forgotten what President Deng Yizhou told us before graduation?! Have you forgotten the promise you made to him to carry forward the Beijing University Debate Club?
As the saying goes, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. You, the master of Su University, must understand this truth!"

Ye Ju began to use his moral blackmail skills.

Su Chengyi nodded thoughtfully and replied:
"I did agree to it, but I don't seem to be the organizer of this entertainment competition, nor have I expressed any intention to participate."

"."

Fortunately, Ye Ju thought that he nodded because he was moved, but he didn't expect that after going around in a circle, he returned to the starting point.

"Okay! I'm the organizer, so what?! I had it all planned out! Who could have thought that it would be postponed suddenly due to venue issues, and it would happen to be postponed to the day when I have something important to do?? I'm so unlucky!"

Ye Ju let out a long sigh and slumped down on the table dejectedly.

Su Chengyi stopped rocking the chair and asked curiously:

"What's going on?"

It's really hard to believe what could make the thick-skinned and heartless Sister Orange so upset.

"It's really important. Even if I have to skip the event and become a sinner for eternity, I will still do it. At worst, I can just kowtow to my classmates and admit my mistake after I come back."

Ye Ju buried his face in his arms and spoke sullenly.

"."

This doesn't seem to be a joke.

Su Chengyi paused slightly. At first he thought it was just a small matter like his part-time job conflicted with his schedule, but he didn't expect it to be so important.

In that case——

Su Chengyi cleared his throat and said:

"It's not impossible for me to cover for you."

"real?!"

Ye Ju, who had just been as wilted as a frost-bitten eggplant, immediately raised his head with energy, his eyes as bright as an owl in the middle of the night.

"Only if you help me finish that legal paperwork that's due tonight."

"That legal paperwork is due tonight."

Ye Ju frowned and fell into deep thought, then clapped his hands.

"Is that the one that Teacher Zhou assigned?! Damn it, that has been assigned for a week so it's due at 12 o'clock tonight, okay?! You haven't even finished it yet?! Don't you dare be any lazier, big brother!"

"Write or not?"

Su Chengyi slowly threw out a threat.

".Write, write, write. It is my honor to serve you, the top student at Soochow University!"

Ye Ju was obviously a master of changing faces. He immediately changed his expression from puffing out his beard and glaring to a fawning smile.

"I am very happy to be able to share your worries, young master!"

"That's fine."

Su Chengyi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, then continued:
"I have one more request. You have to tell me what it is. What if you are doing something illegal? Then I would be an accomplice."

".Su Chengyi, you bastard!"

The plan of sleeping on straw and tasting gall finally failed, and Ye Ju finally couldn't help but curse.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't bother with you!!"

After thinking for a while, she sighed and pulled her schoolbag out from under the table.

An ordinary canvas bag, covered with all kinds of small dolls, and the edges and corners were worn out and full of threads.

Ye Ju unzipped his schoolbag, and because it was stuffed too full, all the messy items inside immediately rolled to the ground.

Su Chengyi reacted quickly. He raised his foot to hold the thermos cup that was rolling away, bent down to pick it up and put it on the table.

"Ah! Thank you."

Ye Ju thanked him without even looking up. She carefully pulled out a cylinder from the innermost layer of her schoolbag. It looked like a packaging box for a telescope or a kaleidoscope.

Su Chengyi was wondering what was inside when Ye Ju took the initiative to speak:

"This is what Xia Xia wants to give you."

This unexpected answer made Su Chengyi slightly stunned.

What Xia Yu wants to give him?

"When I went back to see her some time ago, I mentioned to her that you were going to have a birthday."

Ye Ju handed the cylinder to him and explained:
"She didn't react at the time, but I didn't expect that she had memorized it secretly. She asked the nurse to send it to me, and wrote in the note that it was for you. I had reserved the address of the school in the nursing home."

Su Chengyi's fingers holding the cylinder stiffened. It was originally a very light object, but it felt somewhat heavy to him.

"Why don't you open it and take a look? You never know what this little girl will give you."

Ye Ju poked the plastic sealing paper on the cylinder and leaned over curiously.

Su Chengyi nodded and carefully tore open the wrapping paper along the edge. There was a cardboard tube inside, protecting the drawing paper.

Su Chengyi gently pinched the edge of the drawing paper with his fingers and took it out.

“It’s a painting.”

Ye Ju said with a smile.

Xia Yu's favorite thing to do on weekdays is painting. She doesn't have any other entertainment activities in the sanatorium. It's easy to guess what she will give, but I don't know what she will draw. Su Chengyi nodded and slowly spread out the drawing paper with the solemnity of visiting an authentic work in a museum.

Unlike the sloppy and somewhat horrible paintings I had seen before, this one was painted in watercolor.

A little girl in a nightgown hid behind the door, peeking cautiously through the door frame, while a tall boy was standing in the kitchen with his back to her, holding an opened instant noodle bag in his hand, and steam was coming out from around him.

Su Chengyi's throat tightened for no reason.

This was the scene when Xia Yu hid in his house during the neighborhood "catching a thief" incident.

In fact, she didn't think she was stealing. It was just because she knew Granny Xu, who had a fuzzy memory due to Alzheimer's disease, so she told her kindly that she could take anything she wanted from the house.

Maybe you also told her that there is a very good brother in room x on x floor, and that she can go to him if she encounters any difficulties, and he will help her.

So when she was being tracked by the neighbors who had caught a thief, she would come and knock on Su Chengyi's door.

"Wow, it's rare to see Xia Xia paint such colorful pictures."

Ye Ju sighed and continued:

"Su Chengyi, she even drew the pattern on your clothes for you. What a detail. It made me cry."

Su Chengyi lowered his head and took a closer look, then he realized that it was true.

She used only a few strokes to recreate the pattern on his T-shirt, which was very vivid.

It seems to be a symbol of some kind of talent.

After Ye Ju reminded him of this detail, Su Chengyi began to study every detail of the painting.

Only then did I realize that it was not just the T-shirt pattern that she had drawn, the entire structure of the room was also very detailed, to the point of being a 1:1 restoration.

It was precisely because of this that Su Chengyi recalled the scene so quickly.

The drawing paper seemed to be stained with the peculiar smell of hospital disinfectant. One could almost imagine how the thin little girl slowly finished the painting stroke by stroke while lying on the hospital bed.

I don’t know if the sheets will be covered with fancy watercolors and the nurse will complain again.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes, feeling a little heavy in his heart. He picked up the drawing paper and wanted to put it away again.

This made Ye Ju, who was sitting opposite, very surprised and said:

"Yeah, there's words on the back!"

"Ok?"

Su Chengyi turned the drawing paper over in confusion, and sure enough, he saw a line of pinyin letters in the corner.

The crooked handwriting looked more like it was drawn than written. Each character was curled up like an earthworm, making it difficult to recognize.

"Shengri! It's happy birthday."

Ye Ju's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands.

"Yes, Shengrikuaile."

Su Chengyi's eyes fell on the last letter.

"xiexie."

"So, the important thing you mentioned is that you want to take a leave next weekend to go back and celebrate Xia Yu's birthday?"

Su Chengyi folded his hands in front of his chest and asked in a calm tone.

The painting had been put away, and like Ye Ju, he carefully placed the paper tube into the innermost layer of his schoolbag.

For a little girl who suffered unimaginable trauma in her childhood, it is no exaggeration to say that this painting is a treasure. It is probably one of the few kindnesses she has shown to the world.

Su Chengyi was ready to protect this goodwill.

"Yes."

Ye Ju nodded, frowned and said:

"It's really important. I have to go back and spend her birthday with her. I promised her last time. Although Xia Xia can't speak, she is actually very sensitive. If I break the promise, she will definitely be very sad."

"you're right."

Su Chengyi put the ballpoint pen in his hand on the table with a snap and said slowly:

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier? Would I disagree?"

"Oh my goodness~ I didn't know that you, the top student at Su University, are so considerate, so easy to talk to, so generous, and so willing to help others!"

Ye Ju put on that flattering smile again and rubbed his hands while speaking.

"You booked a flight for next Saturday morning?"

Su Chengyi thought about it and asked.

"Yes, although the red-eye flight is a bit long, it's cheap! And I have classes on Monday, so I have to hurry. Don't you think the flight time from Tangan to Beijing is very weird? There are few flights and they are damn expensive! My part-time salary for a week is spent on it!"

Speaking of this, Ye Ju got angry. She had always taken the green train before, but this time she had no choice but to take a plane because she was in a hurry. Now she is chattering about the problem of the flight schedule.

Su Chengyi took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and after some operations, he put the phone on the table.

"All right."

"The most hateful thing is that it's over? What's over?"

Ye Ju asked subconsciously with a confused look on her face, but she quickly said "Oh" and said with a smile:

"It's settled, right? You go cover for me. Thank you, kind-hearted Brother Su! I'll send you this legal document before 11pm. Just take it as a thank you. What do you say? Sister, you're very loyal, right?"

Ye Ju patted his shoulder vigorously, then stood up, picked up her schoolbag which was as solid and heavy as a treasure chest with a "hey hey hey" and wanted to slip away.

After all, the young master in front of him has always been moody, and he might do something weird later. Ye Ju felt that he could not give him a chance to regret.

"I didn't say I was going to cover for you myself."

But before she was about to leave in a graceful manner, Su Chengyi threw out this sentence.

Ye Ju almost stumbled and fell to the ground, yelling angrily:
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Su Chengyi, are you a human?! So all the time I just talked to you was in vain, right?"

Su Chengyi slowly raised the screen of his mobile phone and showed her the flight information.

"I will go back to Tang'an with you next weekend to celebrate the little girl's birthday."

"."

Ye Ju was silent for a second, then replied through gritted teeth:
"Do you want me to praise you for being so proactive? Man of your oft? The problem is, what about the debate club activities?! Do I really only know you as the fourth debater who can take over from me?!"

"The mountain man has his own clever plan."

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows calmly.

"Hello, the dream of the 900 millionaire is disturbing you again."

The next second, Su Chengyi sent a message to Zou Lian, explaining his purpose.

"It's just a commercial entertainment competition anyway. It has nothing to do with the school. It doesn't matter if you come to replace me."

It was obvious that he was already flushed over there.

".Are you sick, Su Chengyi?"

"Thank you. I will forward the venue and competition information to you later."

Su Chengyi pretended not to hear and continued talking to himself.

"Wait, I haven't fucking agreed to that yet!!!"
