I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 612 The Meaning of Travel (7)

"I always feel that this sentence is not appropriate for you to say."

Su Chengyi looked away, picked up the ball at his feet and threw it out.

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"Because it's hard to find 1,800 faults in you."

Su Chengyi shrugged and replied.

".I beg you, it's hard to find it from anyone, okay!"

Chu Qingmian snorted and glared at him.

Fury retrieved the ball, placed it in her open palm, and shook the snow off of himself.

When the Bernese Mountain Dog's black hair is covered with snowflakes, it looks like a chocolate cake covered with a layer of frosting, which is very beautiful.

"Good dog~"

Chu Qingmian bent down and pulled its furry head.

"It can be considered as returning to my hometown. Do you feel the blood vibrating, little Furui? Actually, your furry body is for rolling around in the snow like this."

After mumbling to herself for a while, she said "hey whoosh" and threw the ball in her hand out.

Fury cooperated very well and woofed, then chased after him again like a black bear.

Su Chengyi took a sip of the coffee in his hand. The hot steam rising from the lid of the cup quickly turned into white mist, making his vision blurry for a moment.

Actually, what he said just now was not without reason. Coming from the mouth of the eldest lady, the so-called "quirks, temper tantrums, inconstancy, and eighteen hundred bad habits" were really not convincing.

Because the whole world knows how perfect Miss Chu is. Even the most demanding and picky people cannot find any chance to find fault with her.

There is a ready-made example, Ms. Wei Peilan.

It is very convincing to say that she is the most demanding and picky person in the world. If she can be ranked second in this respect, no one would dare to claim to be the first.

But she had been dormant for many years, and there was only one fault she could find in the eldest lady.

Su Chengyi thought that it was the fact that the eldest lady insisted on dating him.

Come to think of it, I feel quite honored.

After running back and forth for a few laps, Fury suddenly lay down at the two people's feet with the ball in his mouth, as if he had temporarily lost interest in his favorite ball-catching game.

"Eh? Are you tired?"

Chu Qingmian was a little surprised by this.

Because a large dog like Fury has a lot of energy. On weekdays, he can run around the lawn at home for an entire afternoon. But now he got tired after running only a few laps, which looked very strange.

"Could it be that you caught a cold?"

Thinking of this possibility, Chu Qingmian couldn't help but touch its ears with some worry.

Su Chengyi turned his head and looked at the other side of the park. Then he said in a tone of "as expected":

"Here."

He raised his chin and motioned Chu Qingmian to look the other way.

Chu Qingmian looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, Uncle Gao and Butler Han were walking towards them carrying things.

"Most likely they smelled the tacos in their hands and kept them here."

Su Chengyi put his hands in his pockets and spoke slowly.

"Impressed!"

Chu Qingmian put away his worries and grabbed Fu Rui's big head in annoyance.

"Who did you learn this foodie habit from?"

"Is that even a question? I'm with you."

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows, his face full of expression saying "You're asking this even though you already know the answer."

"."

Chu Qingmian choked. Although he wanted to refute, he felt a little guilty.

After being silent for a while, she decided to give up and raised her hand to greet the two people on the other side.

"Here here!"

Hearing their young lady's call, the two people who were originally walking slowly in the snow quickly quickened their pace and strode over.

"Miss, I bought five tacos. They're pretty big and I think one is enough. Only the sauce is different, everything else is pretty much the same. Please take your pick."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!"

Chu Qingmian happily took one of the bags and handed it to Su Chengyi first.

Su Chengyi did not refuse. He took it, opened the bag and took a bite.

It tastes like a regular burrito, with macaroni and roast beef, and a strong cheese aroma.

Before he could swallow the mouthful of beef, the black bear crouching at his feet became anxious, and circled around his feet while barking.

"Alright, alright, don't be so anxious! You'll get beaten if you protect your food."

Chu Qingmian patted its head as a warning, then opened the taco in his hand and carefully checked that there were no side dishes that the dog could not eat before he felt at ease to feed it.

Just as Butler Han said, this vendor is indeed quite conscientious. The tacos are big and the portions are generous.

Even with Fury's huge mouth, it took him several bites to eat it all.

Miss Chu started to eat her portion last, while Butler Han and Uncle Gao, who were standing next to her, waited until she took the first bite before they started to open their own portions.

Su Chengyi silently lowered his head and ate the burrito, thinking that although the eldest lady was peaceful and approachable to others, and the housekeeper and Uncle Gao looked like her elders, but in fact, if you look closely, you will find that there are still many rules that are not made clear.

"Uncle Gao, did you park your car at the exit on the other side of the park? When I came in earlier, I saw a sign saying no parking is allowed here."

Su Chengyi ate the remaining half of the taco in one bite, and then asked vaguely.

Uncle Gao nodded when he heard this, but didn't say anything. He just pointed to the other side, indicating that he noticed this and had specially driven the car to the other side and stopped, which was why he was delayed for a while.

"it is good."

Su Chengyi nodded, thinking that Uncle Gao was as reliable as ever.

No wonder although Chu Yuanjiang agreed to his request to give Miss Chu three days off to chase whales, he also added the condition that Uncle Gao must go with her.

In a foreign country, having such a reliable bodyguard following you always makes you feel more at ease.

Uncle Gao's tall and strong figure gives people the feeling of a classic tough movie protagonist, like Keanu Reeves in "John Wick" or Liam Neeson in "Taken".

"It's hard to imagine that someone who can only speak Wang Defa and Shatan's son in English can thrive abroad just by reading pictorial signs."

Butler Han couldn't help but complain while chewing on his taco.

"Most of the time I just give the other person a glance and they understand what I mean."

Uncle Gao said slowly.

Su Chengyi thought about it and realized that facing such a big brother with a face as thick as his neck and a ferocious look, it would be hard for everyone not to understand.

Otherwise, I always feel like this guy is going to take out his weapon at the next second.

Chu Qingmian's tart was covered with salad dressing. Seeing that she was eating so seriously that she didn't notice that there was a little bit of sauce on the corner of her mouth, Su Chengyi reached out and wiped it off for her.

"Thank you."

Chu Qingmian smiled at him, then said thoughtfully:

"Uncle Gao, after you go back this time, you will probably have to work non-stop and overtime every day. Cancel tomorrow's activities and have a good rest for a day."

"That's not necessary, miss."

Uncle Gao shook his head and flatly refused.

He actually had a lot more to add, such as his previous missions were much more difficult than this, and one should not underestimate the physical fitness of special forces soldiers.

But after thinking about it, he took it back.

Although the previous tasks were more difficult and risky, he actually did not have much psychological pressure.

I have been alone for many years, and at that time I just believed that living one more day is a day. My only obsession was to drag more opponents into the water before I sacrificed myself.

It’s different now. Watching this young lady grow up day by day, it’s like she finally has a relative in the world. Naturally, I don’t feel as relaxed as before. Instead, I should say I’m under a lot of pressure.

"Nothing will happen to me. Just because I don't tell you about many things doesn't mean I really don't understand them."

Chu Qingmian lowered his head and smiled, then carefully folded the packaging bag.

"But there is one more thing I want to tell you here." "You go ahead."

Uncle Gao paused, and actually guessed what was going on.

"My father should have mentioned to you about Su Chengyi's personal safety, but I hope you can pay more attention to it when making arrangements."

Chu Qingmian frowned slightly and said this.

In fact, she has been feeling vaguely uneasy recently. She couldn't tell why, but she felt that sometimes people really had to trust their intuition.

"If you have already taken it very seriously, please pay more attention to it."

After she said this, the other three fell into a brief silence.

Butler Han really wanted to sigh for the heavy affection of his young lady.

No wonder writers would write: women will do earth-shatteringly stupid things for love.

Su Chengyi's silence was more rational. Although he had always known that the situation was serious, Miss Chu had always been trying to gloss over the situation. Now she was no longer shy about it and spoke out directly, which was even more thought-provoking.

After a while, Uncle Gao nodded and replied:

"Okay, miss."

"Thank you, Uncle Gao. I know you will do what you promised. That's good."

Chu Qingmian sighed softly and exerted a little force on his crossed fingers hidden under the sleeves of his down jacket.

At this time, Su Chengyi suddenly reached out and held her wrist.

"I won't ask you not to think about it, but after today, don't worry about me anymore."

The tone of his voice was the same as usual, calm but firm.

Chu Qingmian was slightly stunned and raised his eyes.

"I promise you, I will be careful. You know, I rarely make mistakes."

Su Chengyi held her wrist tightly and said seriously:

"So you also have to promise me not to be distracted and not to be stupid."

".good."

Chu Qingmian pursed her lips, her voice trembling slightly.

Actually, I'm a little scared.

Chu Yuanjiang has been fighting with the Hou family for so many years, and now victory is at hand. Even the most experienced people are bound to make some mistakes.

Just like now, he seemed to have felt that he had won the victory, but from Chu Qingmian's perspective, the situation was actually a complete mystery and the outcome was completely unclear.

If it weren't for this short trip that Su Chengyi had fought for, Chu Qingmian felt that the string in her head was just a little bit away from breaking.

Fortunately, now she has a chance to catch her breath, allowing her to calm down, adjust her state, and face these things again.

Su Chengyi looked at her slightly trembling eyelashes, thought for a moment, then looked up and gave Uncle Gao a look.

The other party quickly understood what he meant and said:

"I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

Butler Han was very perceptive and nodded immediately, grabbing the packaging bags of the tacos that the few people had finished eating.

"Then I'll pick up the trash and throw it away."

The two quickly fled away.

Su Chengyi bent down and touched Fury's head, then handed the rubber ball to the eldest lady who was still a little worried.

"Let's play one more round and then we'll go back to the hotel."

"it is good."

Chu Qingmian took a deep breath and tried to cheer himself up.

"Go Pikachu!"

This time she tried to throw the ball very far, and Fury woofed and ran out.

Su Chengyi raised his head and looked at the frozen buds on the treetops, which looked a bit like a string of crystal pendants.

Noticing his silence, Chu Qingmian pursed her lips slightly, feeling a little regretful.

I planned this trip to relax myself. I shouldn't have brought my anxiety to him. What an idiot.

Chu Qingmian lowered his eyes. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He twisted his fingers and tried to think of a lighter topic to talk about.

"Fury is back."

Su Chengyi suddenly spoke out of the blue.

"Oh."

Chu Qingmian raised his head in a daze and reached out to take the rubber ball that Furui brought back.

But this time it's different.

What Fu Rui brought back was a small box the size of a palm. Chu Qingmian opened his eyes wide and exclaimed "Huh" in surprise.

"Did you find something someone lost?"

"open to take a look."

Unexpectedly, Su Chengyi seemed to have known it for a long time, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Chu Qingmian then realized that this was another of his little tricks.

He must have trained with Fury many times in secret, so he was so skilled.

The box in his hand was very light, and Fury had bitten it, leaving a row of shallow teeth marks on it.

Chu Qingmian took a deep breath and opened the box.

Lying inside is a light blue crystal pendant made into the shape of a whale. It shines brightly under the moonlight and is very beautiful.

"I was originally planning to give it to you if I was unlucky and didn't see the whale, but after thinking about it, I decided it doesn't matter if I give it to you now."

Su Chengyi kept smiling as he spoke, probably because he had prepared such a small gift a long time ago.

Chu Qingmian lowered her eyelashes and held the whale pendant in her hand.

Su Chengyi was about to say something else when he saw her tears falling without warning and landing on the whale's tail.

For a moment, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. After a while, he just raised his hand and wiped away her tears.

“In fact, when I saw the whale today, I said more than just those words to it.”

Chu Qingmian suddenly said this.

"Really? What else did you say?"

Su Chengyi gently stroked her hair and asked with his head down.

"I whispered to myself, if there is an afterlife, I also want to be a whale, um, preferably a beluga whale!"

Chu Qingmian curled her eyes, and the tears that had not yet dried in her eyes looked like sparkling diamonds.

“Not the kind of beluga whale that’s kept in an aquarium and scares children. It’s the kind that swims freely in the real ocean!”

After emphasizing this additional condition, Chu Qingmian looked at Su Chengyi and asked seriously:
"Su Chengyi, will you come to see me when that time comes?"

Hearing her ask such a question, Su Chengyi suddenly felt as if a heavy rock was pressing on his heart, making it almost hard to breathe.

After a while, he lowered his eyes and did not answer directly, but asked back:
"There are beluga whales in so many places around the world. How can I find you?"

"But there are so many people in the world, and I still met you!"

Miss Chu, however, persisted and moved closer, little by little, until they could only see each other in the eyes.

She asked very seriously, as if she would disappear from his sight in the next second.

In order to cover up the uneasiness in his heart, Su Chengyi simply listed a series of place names, all of which were relatively famous gathering places for beluga whales.

"The St. Lawrence River, the mouth of the Churchill River in western Hudson Bay, and the Gulf of Alaska."

Having said that, he thought about it, then paused for a moment and asked again:
"There are a lot of white whales in these places. How will I be able to recognize you when the time comes?"

Chu Qingmian smiled gently, with a soft smile on his face.

"At that time, I will be the first to jump out of the sea and say hello to you."
