I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 572 Returning to the Cool Late Autumn Again

Zou Lian deeply suspected that the main reason why Su Chengyi played the friendship card with him was that he wanted to make him a tool that could be used at any time.

However, editing videos for Disco Elysium itself does not count, because he himself is also a loyal guard of this game.

After the release of the promotional video directed by Zou Lian, the response was very enthusiastic, and the comments expressed:

“It’s right!!”

"familiar."

"G8 is so cool, I'm ready to play the third round!"

"Remember to burn this video for me after I die."

"Vote for Disco Elysium!!!"

“I can only say that the editing team’s technique is unmatched and a perfect match for this game.”

Afterwards, Zou Lian’s work WeChat account was flooded with additions, and all kinds of orders came in, all of which were priced out of this world.

Zou Lian certainly knew that Su Chengyi was taking this opportunity to promote him, but this result was not what he intended.

So, what is the original intention?

When he thought of this, Zou Lian felt that he couldn't even guess his own thoughts.

I don’t know. That damn Su Chengyi kept yelling something like “Don’t underestimate the bond between us” and just threw all the troubles he had at me.

But Zou Lian thought the most hateful thing was that he just couldn't bear to refuse these rude requests.

The culprit, Su Chengyi, did not admit it.

"There's really nothing we can do about it. Can you bear to see a lonely little girl spending her birthday alone in the hospital?"

".To be honest, my sympathy is not that excessive."

Zou Lian said so.

After all, if you think about it, his life has been miserable enough.

He has been born into a broken family with a cowardly father, a PUA mother, and a sick family.

Ah, I forgot the most important thing, cheat and completely ignore your opponent.

"That's not to compare my misery with yours."

Su Chengyi replied with a smile.

"Ah."

Zou Lian sneered, then changed his mind and realized that if we compare how miserable everyone is, everyone is actually about the same. Several people simply cannot make up a kind and perfect family.

Su Chengyi's fussy temper was actually gradually formed due to his family divorce.

"But she's different from us. We are more or less healthy in character, but what she's going through is on a completely different level."

Having said that, Su Chengyi's attitude became serious again.

"After experiencing such a serious case and being the only surviving witness, she should have been protected, but she was abandoned just like that."

"Major case?"

Hearing Zou Lian's question, Su Chengyi remembered that he had not told him about Xia Yu's life experience. He only knew roughly that the other party was an orphan in a sanatorium.

"Yes, it's an unsolved case in Tang'an City. A family of four was murdered. The murderer set fire to the house and fled. Only the youngest daughter survived, Xia Yu."

"."

Zou Lian was silent for a while, then he gritted his teeth and said:

"No, I take back what I just said about having no sympathy. Damn it."

"In that case, you can fill in for me, right? There's a debate competition this weekend, and there are four debate masters."

Su Chengyi didn't want to go deeper into the case, so he changed the subject.

Zou Lian paused. In fact, even if Su Chengyi didn't add the subsequent explanation, he would still take over.

But in the end he still said stubbornly:
"This is for the sake of the little girl, understand?"

"Understand."

Su Chengyi was too lazy to expose him and just laughed softly.

After finding the unlucky guy who took the blame, Su Chengyi began to complete his work in his spare time so as to have a complete weekend.

When I came to the X1 studio today, I saw some unusual mockery on the faces of the employees.

"Hello, Mr. Su."

"I am happy again, President Su."

"When are we going to have wedding candy, Boss-san?"

"."

Su Chengyi looked around, trying to find where He Wufei was. He felt that he was the only reliable person here.

But then I remembered that he seemed to be on a business trip today, so I had to walk into the office in an atmosphere that was as happy as a wedding banquet.

The first problem he discovered was that the narrow single-seat sofa for meetings had turned into a spacious and luxurious large sofa. Su Chengyi vaguely remembered seeing it in the new product display area of ​​the shopping mall. The price was staggering.

Then I found a person and a cat lying on the sofa.

Miss Chu, who appeared out of nowhere, was curled up in the corner of the sofa and fell asleep. Persimmon was held in her arms, making a snoring sound. The warm light of the sun shone on the two of them.

Good guy.

Now I understand why the employees all have that "my brother is so happy again" look on their faces.

Su Chengyi quickly became cautious in closing the office door, and the door lock only made a slight "click" sound when it closed.

He tiptoed to the sofa and squatted down.

Looking closely, Miss Chu's sleeping face is very peaceful, her long and thick eyelashes drooping like curtains on her eyelids, casting a thick shadow, with a sense of tranquility and peace.

She was wearing a very loose sweater today, which covered her entire body, and her sleeves were rolled up loosely.

The skin exposed on the delicate collarbone and wrists was very white and translucent, and after being exposed to the light of the stove for a long time, it was now slightly red.

Her bangs, which were accidentally cut by the makeup artist, are still missing a piece, but they look a lot more natural than in the photo. The hair ends hanging by her ears have been dyed an orange-gold color, making her look like a little orange cat that has suddenly turned into a magical girl.

Su Chengyi couldn't help but reach out and gently poke her cheek, and felt a warm warmth on his fingertips.

Chu Qingmian's eyelashes trembled slightly in his sleep, but there was still no sign of waking up.

Su Chengyi sat down next to her and took the persimmon cake from her arms, causing the soft sofa to sink a little.

I don't know why I feel like I have a wife, children and a warm bed.

Su Chengyi thought aimlessly.

So he stood up and took out the laptop from the drawer, returned to his original position, put the computer on his knees, and decided to work here.

Perhaps because of the rising temperature, the fruity scent on Miss Chu's body was more obvious than before. Sitting next to her felt like soaking in a cup of hot fruit juice.

Persimmon is fed with fine clothes and is served like a small landlord every day. The hair on his body feels very nice to the touch, like a warm and pleasant ball of meat.

Su Chengyi turned on the computer and instantly felt that he had understood the truth of life.

Damn, this is how people should work!

When Chu Qingmian opened his eyes, he saw Su Chengyi typing on the keyboard beside him with an expressionless face, and thought he was dreaming.

But her body's natural reaction would not lie, she subconsciously moved closer, buried her face in his arms, and called out softly:
"Su Chengyi?"

"Ah."

After Su Chengyi finished typing this line of code, he turned his head to look at her and touched the top of her head.

"Why do you force me to eat sashimi? I don't like sashimi."

She spoke without reason, her voice so low it sounded like she was mumbling to herself.

"That fish is still very small, why did you cut it? I heard that fishermen will put it back into the sea and it doesn't taste good, it tastes fishy, ​​you liar."

Su Chengyi listened very carefully at first, but later he guessed that this guy was probably dreaming when he just fell asleep and was now talking nonsense.

Chu Qingmian kept mumbling to himself for a long time, and suddenly wondered why he hadn't woken up from this dream for so long. So he looked up blankly and met Su Chengyi's slightly smiling eyes.

"Are you awake now?"

He asked in a teasing tone.

Chu Qingmian rubbed his eyes in a daze, and after realizing that he was not dreaming, he exclaimed, "Ah!"

"It's really you, Su Chengyi."

Although she was not fully conscious yet, the corners of her mouth started to rise, revealing a faint dimple.

"it's me."

Su Chengyi sighed and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.

"Hey, you finally came to see me!"

She said cheerfully.

Su Chengyi used a little force with his fingers to pull her out of her drowsy state.

"You came to see me, okay, miss?"

"Oops! I forgot, it seems so."

Chu Qingmian felt pain and grabbed his fingers in protest while answering vaguely.

"You must be really busy these days. How come you have time to come here today?"

Su Chengyi loosened his fingers, put the computer aside, hugged her in his arms, and asked with his head down.

"You've been busy for so many days, what's wrong with taking a break?"

Chu Qingmian deliberately prolonged her tone, speaking in a complaining and coquettish manner.

"Yes, it is right to take a day off."

After not seeing each other for a while, Su Chengyi always felt that the eldest lady's cheeks had become thinner.

"Why don't you take a good rest and come to my place? And you even changed my sofa for me."

Su Chengyi pressed his palm on the sofa cushion and felt that this thing must be padded with real gold and silver, otherwise it would not be sold at this price.

"I heard from them that you would definitely come today, so I'm waiting for you here. I've already ordered the sofa, but I only have time to move it in today."

Chu Qingmian rested his chin on his shoulder and explained slowly.

"Are you tired? You feel exhausted."

With her lying like this, Su Chengyi felt like he was holding a lazy koala, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes."

Chu Qingmian rubbed his neck and said with a smile:

"I need to charge!"

So Su Chengyi simply leaned on the sofa cushion and let the exhausted young lady lean on him.

Chu Qingmian kissed the side of his cheek, tilted his head to see the code interface on the computer screen, then frowned and looked away.

"What kind of work were you doing just now, Su Chengyi?"

"Will you understand after I tell you, Miss Chu?"

Su Chengyi answered nonchalantly.

"cannot!"

Although it was true, Chu Qingmian still snorted in dissatisfaction.

"However, there is one thing I can tell you that you can understand."

Su Chengyi patted her slender waist, carried her to the side, and brought up an interface on his laptop.

Chu Qingmian came over curiously and watched him find the icon called "Cat Encyclopedia".

"After completing the data entry work some time ago, the program has also passed the approval and can be put online at any time. Don't brag yet, there is one last thing."

Su Chengyi covered Chu Qingmian's mouth in time, but he could still see joy and excitement in her bright eyes.

"okokokok!"

She slurred a few syllables.

Although I couldn't hear it clearly, I was sure that they were saying things like "That's awesome!" or "Thank you!"

Class monitor Chu has always been the number one in terms of support, and his emotional value is always at its highest.

"The APP icon has not been chosen yet. I have always wanted to tell you that I hope you can draw one yourself when you have time, but you have been too busy recently, and so have I, so the launch of the app has been delayed for so long."

After saying this, Su Chengyi loosened his hand.

"So that's it!"

Miss Chu, who had regained the right to speak, blinked her beautiful starry eyes and said with a smile.

“Then I’ll draw it now!!”

“Draw now?”

Su Chengyi was slightly startled.

"Ok!"

Chu Qingmian turned over with difficulty, exclaimed "Huh", fumbled up and down, and finally took out a tablet from the gap in the sofa.

"You brought this with you?"

"Yeah, I had a video conference before I fell asleep~"

Chu Qingmian happily opened the cover of the tablet and even hummed a little tune happily.

"I still remember the fireworks at that concert~I still remember that cool late autumn~I still remember the crowd pushing you towards me~da da da da da da~ah! I don't remember the lyrics!"

She sang "Little Hands Holding Big Hands". Su Chengyi was amused and laughed, then continued slowly:
“It’s the perfect time for an amusement park to be crowded.”

"Yeah!"

Chu Qingmian opened the painting software that had been silent for a long time and found that it actually needed to be updated. It has been a long time since he had time to paint.

"Su Chengyi, what kind of icon do you think I should draw?"

"It's all fine, but since the name of the program is Cat Encyclopedia, it must be related to cats."

Su Chengyi picked up the persimmon cake that almost fell under the sofa and put it back on his lap.

"Well, how about I draw a persimmon?"

As soon as Chu Qingmian finished speaking, he used a capacitive stylus to draw the outline of a Q version of a cat's head on the tablet.

Although there is only a round outline, her painting skills can basically be seen.

Su Chengyi felt that if he were to draw the picture, others would not be able to tell whether he wanted to draw a pig or a bear.

"sure."

Su Chengyi touched the hair on the back of the dried persimmon and said:

"It can be considered as a kitten that you picked up after you created the public account of the cat illustrations. It has a good pedigree and can be called the Persimmon Prince. It is a legitimate kitten."

"Oh my! What are you doing?"

Chu Qingmian was so amused that he lay on the tablet and laughed for a long time.

Persimmon Cake, who was suddenly promoted to Prince Persimmon, also climbed up sleepily, blinking and looking at the two boring humans with confusion.

"It's none of your business, just go back to sleep, it's just right to be a model."

Su Chengyi reached out and pushed it back onto the sofa, then raised his eyebrows to signal Chu Qingmian that he could start painting.

"okay!"

Miss Chu rolled up the sleeves of her sweater with a heroic look.
