I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 602: The Entrance to the Universe

"The person who changed the manuscript paper, I found her later."

Su Chengyi moved his position so that his shadow could just block the light from the street lamp, so that Chu Qingmian didn't have to raise his hands to cover his eyes.

"Ah? When did it happen?"

Chu Qingmian was slightly startled.

"Not long after the incident, Li Tianwang asked you to be responsible for the promotional poster on the first floor. You painted a pink ocean. Do you remember?"

Thinking of the propaganda poster with an extremely distinctive personal style, Su Chengyi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and said this.

"Yes! I remember."

Hearing him talk about high school, the sadness that had always lingered in Chu Qingmian's eyes also dissipated a little, and he replied with a smile:
"Su Chengyi, everyone was very curious at that time why the sea I painted was pink. Only you knew that I was painting the scene of peach blossoms in full bloom."

"Yes, because when the weather is good, I often look down from a long distance upstairs."

The weather at that time always seemed bright and sunny, and the color of the sunlight was like gold, making the peach blossom forest look like the description in "Peach Blossom Spring".

Students in blue and white school uniforms walked in groups among the pink peach blossoms. Before the bell rang, they picked a favorite peach petal and put it in their textbooks as a bookmark.

In that season, the classroom is always filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

Recalling this, Su Chengyi seemed to smell that fragrant scent again, and after a while he continued:

"At that time, I also felt that it was a pink ocean."

It is indeed a beautiful scenery.

"Hehe, so to speak, I have a lot of weird ideas that only you can understand."

Chu Qingmian narrowed her eyes and smiled, then moved closer and held his fingers.

She still remembered what Su Chengyi said when he was explaining this painting to others:
"For me, the definition of the sea is not just a large area of ​​salt water. Anything that is bottomless, surging, and has no end in sight is the sea."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was no exaggeration to say that Chu Qingmian felt like his heart skipped a beat.

Because she discovered that there were people in the world who could understand her paintings. In fact, sometimes she herself didn’t quite understand them, but simply thought that the sea should have been pink.

Just like she didn't know exactly when she started to like Su Chengyi, it was originally an unsolvable proposition.

"What? Zhuzhu?!"

Chu Qingmian climbed up from the lawn with a grunt, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes."

Su Chengyi nodded calmly, and his expression did not seem like he was joking.

But Chu Qingmian really didn't expect this answer, he didn't expect it at all.

Because in her impression, she and Zhu Zhu are even classmates and friends with a good relationship, and she will give a big red envelope to the other party when he gets married in the future.

But since Su Chengyi said this, it means that what he said must be true.

Because with this guy's temper, if he hadn't caught Zhu Zhu when he was catching the murderer, he would definitely not remember who Zhu Zhu was at all.

Although they had been classmates for several years, he didn't even know most of his classmates and couldn't remember their names!

"But why?"

Chu Qingmian's face was wrinkled with worry, and it was obvious that she couldn't accept this result.

"No reason."

Su Chengyi shook his head and replied:

"If I have to say it, it's out of a dark psychology of jealousy."

"Perhaps, have I done something that offended her without my knowledge?"

Chu Qingmian thought about it seriously, but still couldn't find the answer.

"Not really. Let me put it this way. If you do something wrong or make a mistake, it will make her feel better."

Su Chengyi said:
"You never make mistakes. You are too perfect. That's why she finds it even more unbearable and thus comes up with such a means of revenge."

"Yeah."

Chu Qingmian lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"She probably didn't expect that the so-called perfect appearance was actually just due to a lack of understanding."

"What is imperfect to you is simply untouchable to her. In the eyes of such a person, no matter what you do, you are just showing off your perfect life to her.

If you are not nice to her, she will think that you look down on her and are against her, and will hate you in return; if you are nice to her, she will think that you are pitying her, like sending away a beggar, and will still hate you.

So, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you have to say anything, it's just bad luck to run into this kind of person, that's all."

Su Chengyi explained the logic to her clearly, and pinched her serious face before continuing:
"So, the words she wrote on the replaced draft paper were just coincidences. She couldn't possibly know those things. Do you understand?"

"Ah."

Chu Qingmian nodded heavily and sighed softly.

"It's also because I'm too sensitive. When I saw that sentence, I felt like I was being convicted in public. My mind went blank all of a sudden."

"Now that I understand your reaction at that time."

Su Chengyi smiled and said this.

"Now that we're talking about this, why did you come up to the stage to help me out, Su Chengyi?"

When the topic came to this point, Chu Qingmian couldn't help but think of the question that had been bothering her for a long time, and couldn't help but ask again.

She had asked this question many times before, but Su Chengyi always avoided the question and glossed over it.

It's not that he was deliberately keeping people in suspense, nor did he want to hide anything, it's just that this question is really difficult to answer.

He couldn't just say that he was reborn. Even if he did, it would probably be hard for others to believe it.

Facing Chu Qingmian's expectant eyes, Su Chengyi's Adam's apple rolled twice and he said slowly:

"Because... I had a very long dream."

"Dream? Is it a good dream or a nightmare?"

Chu Qingmian blinked and asked seriously.

"It's probably a nightmare, I guess."

After saying this, Su Cheng thought, it wasn't really a nightmare, after all, his life in his previous life was quite ordinary.

As core R&D employees of large companies, their salaries are enough to support a wealthy life in Shanghai, without any worries and with great freedom.

Although there are many moments when I feel lonely and confused, I can still get by.

If I have to say, it's just that I'm exhausted both physically and mentally, and I'm all alone.

Because there are many people in the world who live much more miserable lives than this, Su Chengyi certainly would not use the word nightmare to describe such a life.

At most, it's just boring, the kind of boring that makes people lose the motivation to live.

From the moment I woke up and opened my eyes, my mood was calm, life was repetitive, and the daily routine was boring.

"So, after waking up, I felt like I had to do something to prove that this is the real world. It would be best if it was something like the roar of gongs and drums, or a thunderous roar that created the world."

Su Chengyi thought about it and continued:
"What happened to be in front of me at that time was the swearing-in ceremony. The way you stood on the stage reminded me of myself, who had not changed, so I thought, no matter what, I have to help you."

Apart from the rebirth part, Su Chengyi revealed his inner thoughts for the first time.

I originally thought that Chu Qingmian would feel a little disappointed about this, because he didn't rush onto the stage to save the situation just because she was Chu Qingmian, but more for the sense of ritual of his own rebirth.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Miss Chu's first reaction was eyes full of heartache.

She came closer like a kitten, hugged him gently, and rubbed his chin with her soft hair. "You must feel very uncomfortable when you have such a dream."

"."

Su Chengyi felt as if something in his heart collapsed with a "click".

No matter how thorny a person is, he will soften into a ball of hair without any attack power under the attack of Miss Chu.

The two sat on the lawn and chatted for a long time before they remembered what excuse they had made when they first slipped out of the villa.

"Wang!"

I don’t know if it was because he heard the footsteps or smelled a familiar scent, but Fury, who should have been sleeping soundly at this point, started to get excited from a distance.

Chu Qingmian didn't want to let the puppy wait too long, so he quickly trotted over and opened the door of the dog house with the key he had just asked the nanny for.

A black bear quickly jumped out, barking and circling around her excitedly.

"Okay, okay! We just met this morning! Look who's here?"

Chu Qingmian smiled and squatted down, motioning Fu Rui to look at the other person behind him.

Fury then turned his head, and immediately let out a "Woof!" and rushed over happily.

Su Chengyi originally had his hands in his pockets and a cool look on his face, but after being hit by the huge black bear, he lost his balance and took several steps back.

"Wang!"

"How can you be so energetic at this hour?"

Su Chengyi squatted down helplessly and reached out to grab its furry head.

"Maybe he has slept for a long time and woke up now."

Chu Qingmian followed again and touched the tip of Furui's tail with a smile.

This is one of the characteristics of the Bernese Mountain Dog, that is, the tip of its tail must be white, which is very recognizable.

"Get up and go to work, little dogs. You are not allowed to act like masters."

Su Chengyi patted its tricolor head lightly.

Naturally, Fury, whose fur was as thick as a black bear, felt nothing from a blow of this magnitude; he continued to grin with his teeth bared.

Bernese Mountain Dogs grow very fast, and dogs like Fury, who are fed and cared for by professionals, are growing even better. He is now a complete adult. If he suddenly rushes out, it might scare people who are afraid of dogs.

However, beneath the appearance of this ferocious big dog and a good guard dog, it is actually as timid as a mouse and has an extremely friendly personality.

In other words, the probability of a human biting it is greater than the probability of it biting a human.

Su Chengyi patted its thick belly and couldn't help but sigh:

"You are such a sturdy boy. It turns out that not a pound of meat is eaten in vain."

"Yes."

Chu Qingmian smoothed its back fur and exclaimed in surprise:

"It doesn't feel like I've seen him for a long time. Furui seems to have grown bigger. At this size, I could have ridden him to school when I was a kid!"

"Wang!"

Fury shouted as if he was resisting the job.

"Hey, hey! What are you unhappy about? I mean when we were kids! What's wrong with you giving me a ride? Haven't you seen other dogs in the movies who would take the initiative to run a long way to the subway station to pick up their owners? After their owners passed away, they have been waiting there!"

Chu Qingmian patiently began to tell the story of "Hachiko: A Dog's Story".

Su Chengyi was amused and started laughing. He weighed the toy ball in his hand and threw it hard towards the lawn on the other side.

"Forry, go!"

"Wang!"

Fury immediately ran towards the ball.

It turns out that no puppy can resist playing with a ball, not even a fat, lazy little black bear like Fury.

This piece of lawn must have long become Furui's private playground. He is very familiar with every corner. No matter which direction Su Chengyi throws the ball, he can grab the ball and run back as fast as possible, then wag his tail and wait for praise.

After going back and forth many times, the large dog's vigorous energy finally died down a little, and Fury lay obediently on the lawn, carefully hiding his little ball in the fur on his chest with his two paws.

This is its favorite ball, Su Chengyi recognized it.

It was a nondescript red rubber ball that he bought at the pet store when he first went to the kennel to pick it up.

After that, when it came to the Chu family, it naturally received countless toys. When many outsiders gave gifts to the eldest lady, they would buy a lot of pet supplies and send them to her when they found out that she had a dog.

However, after all the ups and downs, Fury's favorite is still the little ball that has been with him since he was a child.

Although there are many signs of time on it, such as tooth marks and discoloration, it hardly looks red anymore.

But Fury still carries his ball with him wherever he goes.

Just like how it can always recognize the person who picked it out at first sight in the kennel no matter how long they haven't seen each other.

Miss Chu had just chased Fu Rui for two laps and was now so tired that she collapsed and sat down again.

In this situation, the more she looked at Fury's hairy belly, the more she felt it was like an extremely comfortable pillow. Just as she was eager to lie down on it to give it a try, Su Chengyi reached out and pulled her, stopping her action.

"You'll get into trouble again if you go back covered in dog hair."

He reminded slowly.

"That's right."

Chu Qingmian opened his eyes wide and realized the problem belatedly.

When she was with Su Chengyi, she was the most relaxed, but it seemed that she was a little too relaxed and did not even consider such a simple thing.

"Then let's sit for a while and then go back!"

Chu Qingmian took a breath and thought to himself that it was time to start adjusting his state.

Su Chengyi said "hmm", put the phone back into his pocket, and suddenly, without warning, pulled Chu Qingmian to the grass and laid him down.

"Close your eyes."

Su Chengyi spoke.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Chu Qingmian was startled, but quickly cooperated and closed his eyes.

Su Chengyi pressed the palm of his hand on the mechanical watch on his wrist and felt the second hand turning countdown, making a subtle sound.

"Three, two, one."

He counted down in his mind.

"All right."

Chu Qingmian felt his vision darken. When he opened his eyes, all the street lights around him had been turned off in the past few seconds, and he was plunged into pitch darkness.

At first, the field of vision was pitch black and nothing could be seen, but as my eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, I began to see twinkling stars, like diamonds scattered across the night sky.

"The text message I received five minutes ago said that the weather tonight is clear and suitable for stargazing."

Su Chengyi's smiling voice rang in Chu Qingmian's ears.

The starry sky was reflected in her clear pupils, like a portal to another universe.
