I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 623 The Meaning of Travel (18)

To be honest, Jiacuo really wanted to grab a lump of dirt from the ground and throw it at the man's face.

But because he was worried about accidentally hurting Chen Jinzhi who was standing next to him, he had to give up.

Su Chengyi had already heard the sound of the child's back teeth grinding, but he just laughed to himself.

He reached out and took the kite string from Chen Jinzhi's hand, adjusted the angle slightly, and then said:

"It's getting late, let's go down the mountain."

"it is good."

Chen Jinzhi nodded and couldn't help but look up at the kite again.

But soon, Su Chengyi, who was walking half a step ahead, grabbed her wrist and reminded her casually:

"Watch the road."

"Okay."

It is called a mountain, but in fact it is just a dirt slope with a low altitude. It feels like you have reached the foot of the mountain after taking only two steps.

A group of children followed behind the two of them, like an unreliable guard team hired for a bargain.

"What did you just say to Gyatso?"

Chen Jinzhi's long boots stepped on the sand, leaving a series of deep and shallow footprints.

"causal talk."

Su Chengyi's smile was quite mysterious. He was sure that the topic he just discussed was definitely beyond the scope of Chen Jinzhi's guess.

But he obviously underestimated the sharpness of this little fox.

Chen Jinzhi said "hmm", blinked his eyes, and said:
"I guess they are talking about Zhuoma."

"Really? Am I really that obvious?"

Su Chengyi asked back with a little surprise.

"It's not you, Mr. Su, that's obvious. It's Gyatso who's obvious."

Chen Jinzhi smiled gently, with a natural look on his face as if he was in control of a strategy.

"Is it?"

Su Chengyi turned his head and took a look.

Gyatso picked up a stick from somewhere and waved it while walking. Zhuoma frowned and taught him not to hit people. He pouted and looked rebellious, but stopped his movements and just scratched the ground with the stick.

"Well, obviously."

Chen Jinzhi lowered his voice, so gentle that it seemed like it would be blown away by the wind in the next second.

"If I didn't like Zhuoma, I wouldn't be so concerned about her safety and her future plans.

He was quite wary of me, as if he was afraid that I would lead Zhuoma astray. It seems that you little boys are prone to this."

Having said that, Chen Jinzhi curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Su Chengyi with a slightly teasing look.

"What do you mean we are little boys? How am I like that?"

Su Chengyi shook his head and disagreed.

"When we first met, Teacher Su always looked very defensive."

Chen Jinzhi blinked his eyes, looking very righteous, with the words "battle record can be checked" written on his face.

“That’s because we just met.”

Su Chengyi thought about it and felt that the facts were irrefutable, so he could only sigh.

"Besides, you were too proactive at the time, and it was without any warning. It's normal to be suspicious, right? I always feel that this guy must have some ulterior motives. Although I don't seem to have any ulterior motives."

Su Chengyi's words seemed to become less and less confident as he spoke.

Because although Chen Jinzhi was proactive, he actually knew how to grasp the scale and was in a state of being half-hearted, yet close yet distant.

Probably no one would feel offended by her behavior. Of course, on the other hand, it's because she is Chen Jinzhi, and no one can hate her face.

Ultimately, it's all because she's too good at pulling and fishing.

"There is indeed a plan."

Chen Jinzhi walked half a step in front of him, raised her hand to push the ends of her hair that were blown by the wind behind her ears, with a slight smile in her eyes.

"Didn't I plot against you?"

Although he had heard her say this many times, Su Chengyi still clearly felt his heart skip a beat.

I can’t stand it, no matter how many times it comes.

In order to cover up himself, Su Chengyi coughed, looked away, and changed the subject very stiffly.

"In fact, Jiacuo is not very defensive against you. He has been telling me that he is very grateful for sending Zhuoma home that day. He also persuaded the old man to help me make this kite to thank you."

"It's just a small matter."

Chen Jinzhi smiled, obviously not taking the matter too seriously.

"In fact, I noticed Zhuoma when we were still filming that day, but I initially thought she was a child actor captured by the crew. After all, Director Caroline is capable of doing such a thing, openly walking on the street as if she was trying to snatch a child."

“But the filming for that day was over, and there was no scene with the little girl, which I thought was a bit strange, so I found an excuse to stay a little longer.

After everyone had left, I went to look for her near the tent, where Zhuoma had curled up and fallen asleep.

At that time, I roughly guessed that it was definitely not a child actor hired by the crew, but a local child who was lost, and it turned out to be true."

Chen Jinzhi explained the whole story of that day to Su Chengyi again, chuckled and sighed.

"This kid is really brave, isn't he? He dares to run to a place like this by himself."

"He ran out secretly after Jiacuo and the others. It was ultimately due to the boy's negligence. He knew that his childhood sweetheart would not obey him, but he still refused to take anyone with him."

Su Chengyi put his hands in his pockets and glanced at Jiacuo who was scratching something on the ground.

The latter was confused by his glare and glared back at him unhappily, waving the stick in his hand as if in protest.

"Yeah, but luckily the village is not far from the filming location, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there."

Chen Jinzhi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Su Chengyi's eyes, forcibly pulling his gaze back, and said with a hint of rebuke:

"Why do you always bully children, you childish bastard?"

"He's actually quite sensible."

Su Chengyi's expression softened and he took Chen Jinzhi's right hand and put it into his coat pocket.

"I just asked him what he wanted to do in the future, and he said he wanted to stay here. He was very determined to stay here."

"Yeah."

Chen Jinzhi lowered his eyelashes, as if thinking about something.

"Yeah, it's hard to imagine hearing that kind of thing coming from a little kid."

Su Chengyi stretched his body and continued:
"But he will be worried about his future because his little childhood sweetheart wants to see the outside world and he is worried that she may not come back."

Chen Jinzhi laughed and shook his head.

"Will be back."

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Chen Jinzhi would give the same answer as him, and be as confident as she was.

"How can you be so sure?"

"My heart is here. No matter how far I go, I can't go far."

Chen Jinzhi raised his head and looked at the kite floating slightly in the sky.

It was getting dark, the sun was setting, and the swallow kite flew across half of the red sunset, as if circling in a stream of fire.

“Is there a possibility that the flowers are so numerous that they dazzle the eyes?”

Su Chengyi thought about it and asked.

After all, there have been many such examples in the past. The city's bright lights, wine and women's extravagance are still very attractive.

"No, at least not for kids who grew up like them."

Chen Jinzhi's tone remained firm.

As if in response to her words, the children on the other side suddenly discovered something and started chattering collectively.

Zhuoma jumped up and waved at Chen Jinzhi, smiling brightly and shouting:

"Sister! Fatty's sheep gave birth to lambs!"

If you listen carefully, it is indeed true. From the noisy sounds, you can vaguely hear a few faint "bleating" sounds, which are the sounds of newborn lambs.

"Okay, I'll be right over."

Chen Jinzhi nodded at her, responded with a smile, then turned to look at Su Chengyi and said:

"Don't you think so, Mr. Su?"

"Of course I think so." Su Chengyi shook his head and explained:

"What I just said to Jiacuo is roughly the same as what you said.

However, we should consider things more comprehensively, just like when we debate, we also need to write articles with opposing views. "

"If we put aside the attraction and novelty of the city and so on, what about freedom?"

Su Chengyi put forward his other point of view.

"She was just born here. She has the right to visit other places. If she goes to another place in the future and wants to stay there, it seems reasonable, right?"

"Of course."

Chen Jinzhi's tone was gentle. She reached out her hand and gently reeled in the kite string.

"Rationally speaking, we cannot rule out the possibility of this happening, but you and I both know that it won't happen.

And you can’t say she’s not free.”

"why?"

Su Chengyi took the wheel from her hand and slowly reeled in the cowhide string that tied the kite.

"Because I want to stay here willingly, this is a freedom I choose voluntarily.

Just like a kite needs a string to hold it. Teacher Su. "

Chen Jinzhi raised his eyes and looked at him, his expression was rarely serious.

“When a kite flutters alone in the sky, what it feels is definitely not freedom, but fear.

Compared with the kite, the sky is so vast. I don’t know how long the wind will carry me flying, nor do I know where I will land in the end.

This kind of freedom is endless.”

"you're right."

Su Chengyi frowned slightly and was once again easily convinced by Chen Jinzhi's expression.

When living in this world, people must have something they want to achieve, otherwise they will be like a wandering soul, always feeling like they have no touch the ground.

Moreover, it is most appropriate and convincing for Chen Jinzhi to say this.

Because she understood this feeling better than anyone else in the world. It sounded like she was talking about the kite, but in fact she was just talking about herself.

Thinking of this, Su Chengyi couldn't help but tighten the kite string in his hand.

Because in addition to this one, there is another invisible kite string also in his hand, and only he and Chen Jinzhi know about it in this world.

For some reason, Su Chengyi suddenly felt as if his heart was blocked, as if there was a constant rumbling of thunder in his heart, making him restless.

"."

What? Is the thunder that will strike the scumbag coming now?

Su Chengyi took a deep breath and coughed twice due to the choking sand.

"Are you okay?"

Chen Jinzhi quickly noticed his unusual reaction and immediately bent down and patted his back gently, with worry in his tone.

"fine."

Su Chengyi shook his head, temporarily driving away the abnormal reaction in his heart.

Do you really want to chop it?

If you really want to chop it, wait a little longer. Today is not the right time.

Su Chengyi secretly complained in his heart and politely declined this judgment and retribution from God today.

I don’t know if his inner thoughts were really heard or what, but this strange feeling really disappeared.

The children on the other side were all paying attention to the newborn lamb. Chen Jinzhi asked Jiacuo for a bowl of water and handed it to Su Chengyi.

"Drink a little at first, don't drink too fast."

She instructed carefully, touching his forehead and comparing it with her own to check if there was any abnormality in his temperature.

Su Chengyi nodded, took a sip of water from the height of her hand holding the bowl, and saw the bandage faintly visible on her cuffs.

When taking care of others, you are very thorough, as if there won't be any mistakes, but you are actually making a mess of taking care of yourself.

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes, hiding his complicated thoughts, and drank the bowl of water to the bottom.

"Do you two want to go check on the lambs?"

Gyatso asked, taking his empty bowl of water.

"Wait a minute, I'll stay here with him for a while, you guys go play first~"

Chen Jinzhi smiled gently and said this.

"Ok."

Jiacuo nodded, raised his head and glanced at Su Chengyi with empty eyes, then curled his lips and said:

"You're so old, but you still need someone to accompany you. Aren't you ashamed?"

Su Chengyi said "hmm" without changing his expression, and then shouted to the other side:
"Dolma!"

"What's wrong, big brother?"

The little girl came out from the crowd and responded with a smile.

"Gyatso just told me that you are stupid and cowardly, so I won't take you with me next time there is a secret operation."

Su Chengyi said seriously.

"What?? Gyatso!!"

Zhuoma was so angry that her braids almost stood up, and she ran over immediately.

"No, I didn't say that!"

Jiacuo was speechless and could only glare at Su Chengyi resentfully before he hurriedly ran away with the bowl on his head.

"You stop!"

"I do not!"

The two ran away, one in front and the other behind.

Su Chengyi sneered, carefully reeled in the kite string, and then lowered his head to check if the swallow's wings were damaged.

"Children."

Chen Jinzhi smiled and sighed beside him, obviously helpless about his behavior of adding fuel to the fire.

"You have to use childish methods to treat children."

Su Chengyi said nonchalantly without even raising his head.

"That's right."

Chen Jinzhi pursed his lips and watched him treat the kite carefully.

"Were you the one who said you wanted to make a little swallow kite, Teacher Su?"

"Ah."

Su Chengyi nodded, thought for a moment, and then added:
"I thought of what you said before, so I chose Swallow."

There was no need to hide this kind of thing, because the moment Chen Jinzhi saw the swallow-shaped kite, he must have roughly guessed that this was the reason.

Chen Jinzhi is so smart that it always reminds people of the saying "too much wisdom leads to harm".

Su Chengyi really felt that this was not a good word, so he rarely thought about it that way.

"Thank you."

Chen Jinzhi sighed lightly and turned his head to look at the setting sun that was about to disappear into the mountains on the other side.

Su Chengyi raised his eyes and saw that her beautiful pupils were reflected in an orange-red color, which made her whole outline look very warm.

Chen Jinzhi stared into the distance, seemingly in a daze.

After a while, she spoke again:

"Teacher Su, do you know? There is a big poplar tree on the other side of the desert, near the hotel. Sometimes when I can't sleep at night, I will get up and look at the reflection of the tree from the window.

Xiaoshui doesn't like this kind of tree, saying it's not pretty and looks dull, but I like it because it reminds me of you."

"why?"

Su Chengyi was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously.

"I can't really explain it. It's probably a kind of emotional sustenance."

Chen Jinzhi pursed his lips and smiled gently.

"Only the wind of freedom can move the wooden trees."
