I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 651 Looking Back, We Have Not Gone Far
This call is not for Chen Jinzhi.

Because of this time point, she definitely doesn't want to receive a call from herself.

Su Chengyi still has this self-awareness.

The Zhijinchen Studio is probably very lively now, as young people still attach great importance to the New Year's Eve celebration.

She won't feel lonely, that's good.

Su Cheng thought that if he directly told Chen Jinzhi that he gave her the dumplings, she would definitely not be willing to eat them and would just politely refuse without leaving any trace.

In that case, Sister Lin's kindness would be picked up by a random passerby in the studio.

That's not good.

So, the person on the other end of the phone was actually Xiao Zheng.

"Hey Master, what's up?"

The noise from his end sounded like the loud drums and gongs at the Spring Festival Gala.

Su Chengyi moved the receiver further away and patiently asked again:

"Where are you now?"

"What?"

He asked again in a hoarse voice.

Su Chengyi's voice suddenly became louder, and he shouted:

"Where are you!"

This noise obviously scared the Lin siblings on the other side.

Sister Lin's hand trembled and she put two more dumplings in. Lin Tong adjusted the legs of his glasses and realized that the call was obviously not for Chen Jinzhi.

"Oh, Cindy and I are celebrating New Year's Eve in the business center! What's up, Master? Do you have any plans?"

Xiao Zheng's voice became hazy, probably because he turned his back and changed his position.

"Ah."

Su Chengyi responded, looked down at his watch, and then said:

"I will be downstairs in the studio in twenty minutes. I hope you will be waiting for me at Entrance A by then."

"??? What the hell???"

Xiao Zheng wondered for a moment if there was something wrong with his ears. Everyone in the world knows how difficult it is to get a taxi during the New Year's Eve rush.

And why would this young master go to the studio at such a good time? ? Is he trying to get him to work overtime? !
Hey, hey, he is accompanied by beautiful young models right now, drinking some wine and watching the singing and dancing performances, no one wants to go back to work overtime!!!

However, no matter how outrageous the request was, no matter how reluctant he was, he could not disobey the young master.

Xiao Zheng put down his wine glass, covered his face and sighed.

“Cindy.”

"What's wrong, Brother Zheng~"

Cindy came closer with seductive eyes and said coquettishly.

"Give me the car keys."

"what?"

All the black lines on Cindy's pretty little face were instantly visible.

Lin Zhiwan followed the same method and packed the dumplings in layers according to the fillings, leaving some hot soup at the bottom of the box.

“Wouldn’t that be a bit too much?”

Su Chengyi weighed the three-layer insulation box and looked up and asked.

“No, my sister said the dumplings in the bottom compartment are reserved for you.

If you can't make it back in time, you can eat first, and eat at exactly midnight for good luck."

Lin Tong carefully checked the sealing of the insulation box and explained with a smile.

"That's it."

Su Chengyi glanced at the time. There was only half an hour left until midnight. Even if he only counted the round trip, it would be too late to check in.

I have to get ready to go out quickly, otherwise it will be delayed if there is a traffic jam.

Su Chengyi got up and went back to his room, put on a gray sweater over his shirt, and then put on a black coat.

It doesn't look like they are going to celebrate New Year's Eve, but rather to attend some academic conference.

Lin Tong looked at him and laughed, then joked:
"Boss Yi, it's New Year's Day, why don't you wear something brighter? Like Young Master Yang."

"It's not impossible."

Su Chengyi looked down at his outfit, which seemed a bit too serious.

"But I don't have any brightly colored clothes."

"How about borrowing your sister's scarf to tie it?"

After Lin Tong finished speaking, he reached out to take the pink scarf that Lin Zhiwan had just folded aside.

But Lin Zhiwan, who had been very quiet just now, suddenly felt like she was facing a great enemy when she heard the voice. She immediately took the scarf and hid it behind her, shaking her head vigorously.

Su Chengyi originally didn't want to tie it because the pink color was too girly and it looked like Yang Liu had chosen it.

But seeing Lin Zhiwan's frightened reaction, it was a little funny for a moment.

"Oh, I don't want to borrow it."

Su Chengyi said deliberately.

The expression on Lin Zhiwan's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Of course she wouldn't be reluctant to lend it to him. It was chilly at night and he was wearing thin clothes, so a scarf would be just right for him.

But because of the overly girly color, she felt a little embarrassed.

After a while, Lin Zhiwan lowered her head and pursed her lips, but she softened her heart and handed him the scarf.

Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows in surprise, but still took the scarf.

"Thank you, Sister Lin. I'll be leaving first, then? Wood."

"Okay, Mr. Yi, be safe on the road."

Lin Tong stood up and wanted to see him off, but was stopped by Su Chengyi's eyes.

"Just stay here and don't wait for me to come back. There are beds in the study and guest room. You can rest if you feel sleepy."

"understood."

Listening to his explanation, Lin Tong nodded.

Even a cautious person like him doesn't feel awkward here, because they are good friends who know each other well.

Su Chengyi held the door handle, one foot had already stepped out of the door, and turned around and said:
"Well, let me say it in advance, Happy New Year, Sister Lin. Happy New Year, Mu Tou."

"Happy New Year, Mr. Yi, and may everything go well for you."

When saying this, Lin Tong wanted to sigh again, but he just covered it up with a smile.

Lin Zhiwan also looked at him quietly, with a gentle smile that hid her worry.

"Happy New Year."

Her sign language movements were as beautiful as ever, and it seemed as if butterflies were fluttering from her fingertips.

Su Chengyi lowered his head slightly, then turned around and walked out without hesitation.

As soon as Su Chengyi went downstairs, he shivered in the biting night wind outside the heater, so he unfolded the scarf given by Lin Zhiwan and tied it casually around his neck.

It was a soft cashmere scarf with a label of a luxury brand flashing across her field of vision, further proving that it was picked by Yang Liu.

It smells like the clean scent of laundry detergent, which reminds me of the smell of putting on new school uniforms when I was a child.

The Aston Martin was parked in the underground garage. Su Chengyi turned the key, opened the door and got in the car.

The smooth curves of the car body look particularly beautiful at night, and the low roar of the engine gives people a sense of déjà vu of a thug in a suit.

Unlike what I imagined, the road conditions were actually quite smooth.

This is probably because the New Year's Eve army has already arrived at the battlefield, and they will stay there before midnight and will not leave early.

Su Chengyi was driving and took a look at the messages on his mobile phone while waiting for the traffic light.

The group chats of X1 Game Studio and Zhijinchen Studio were very lively. Many people were tagging him and urging him to come out and send out a red envelope. If he didn't, they would ask him to put on a show.

Su Chengyi held the steering wheel with one hand and operated the phone with one hand, sending five red envelopes with the maximum amount to each of the two groups. Suddenly, the group chat was filled with messages saying things like "Boss is generous" and "Boss is the most handsome".

Su Chengyi put down his phone and looked at the traffic ahead.

Chen Jinzhi is also in this group. She sent out her red envelope earlier and attached a very official blessing.

"Happy New Year! I hope to have pleasant cooperation with you all in the new year."

At that time, the rhetoric these guys used to flood the screen was much richer than it is now.

"Iris is the best in the world!"

"Iris, the artistic statue! Iris, the angel who descended to earth! Iris, the beautiful face! Iris, the goddess of Luo River on earth!"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Jin's greatness needs no further explanation!"

Su Chengyi saw these strange words flooding the screen early in the morning, but he still turned to it and stared at Chen Jinzhi's brief blessing for a long time.

If the Shura Field incident hadn't happened, she would have definitely added a sentence at the end:
"I also wish Teacher Zhi Jinchen a happy new year, and hope that he will be inspired and healthy in the new year."

She would always hide some secret codes in these serious tasks that only the two of them knew.

Too bad it's not available this year.

Zhijinchen Studio.

From downstairs you can see that the lights on the entire floor upstairs are still on. It seems that everyone has stayed in the studio, waiting for this year's New Year's Eve.

Su Chengyi had just parked the car when someone knocked on the car window.

When I rolled down the car window, I saw Xiao Zheng's breathless and somewhat angry face.

"Master, why are you running over here at this time?!"

Before he could catch his breath, he glanced upstairs with a guilty look.

If Chen Jinzhi saw others or his Aston Martin, he might turn around and find an excuse to leave, and would definitely not stay in the studio to celebrate the New Year.

"What are you afraid of? I'm not planning on going up there."

Su Chengyi glanced at him and handed him the disassembled thermal box.

“Yo, yo yo yo!!!”

Xiao Zheng took the thermal box with both hands and opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Master, you also understand human nature? The leader personally visits the grassroots to bring warmth to the employees! But then again, what is in this?"

"dumpling."

Su Chengyi lowered his head and pushed back the hair that was blown by the wind.

"Fuck, Master, I am really touched by this."

Xiao Zheng felt a lump in his throat when he heard that, and he was so excited that he seemed like he was going to cry the next second.

"Master, I hid it so well, how did you know I was from the north? How did you know we had to eat hot dumplings during the New Year?"

".Actually, I don't really know."

Su Chengyi had no intention of accepting this guy's fake tears, and quickly explained:
“I didn’t make the dumplings, my sister did. She’s an excellent cook, I’m not exaggerating at all. You’ll know when you try them later.

The larger portion on the upper level is for you, and the smaller portion on the lower level is for her."

As soon as he finished speaking, it became clear who this "she" was referring to.

Xiao Zheng picked up the thermal box, took a look at it, and said "tsk".

"Indeed, I have offended you, Master. After all, who else could have asked you to drive out here so late at night except that person?"

"Just make up an excuse later, don't say it was sent by me. I'm afraid she won't eat it."

Su Chengyi ignored his jokes and just gave a reminder.

"I know this. If I don't help you hide them properly, these two layers of dumplings will be eaten by those hungry ghosts in the studio."

At this point, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but open the box and take a look. The aroma that came to his face confirmed Su Chengyi's introduction just now and made him greedy.

"Well, you go up first. It will be cold if you wait any longer."

Su Chengyi lowered his eyes and glanced at the hands on his watch. There were still five minutes left until midnight.

"okay."

Xiao Zheng was eager to eat the dumplings, but just as he raised his foot, he couldn't help but step back, put his elbow on the window, and asked:
"Master, are you going to drive back right away?"

"Maybe."

Su Chengyi put his fingers on the steering wheel and tapped it casually.

"Isn't it a bit too desolate? How about I send the dumplings upstairs and then find an excuse to come downstairs and accompany you."

Xiao Zheng frowned and thought for a while, then came up with another plan.

"That's not necessary. I don't care about that."

Su Chengyi shook his head and raised his wrist for him to look at his watch.

"Chen Jinzhi must eat this dumpling before midnight. You don't have time to dawdle."

"Eh."

He ordered them to leave, and Xiao Zheng could only sigh, knowing that he had no choice but to do as he asked.

But at the last minute, he couldn't help but reach out and tug at Su Chengyi's pink scarf.

"I have to say it, Master, you came here wearing such a girlish scarf, it's quite a new year."

"three minutes."

Su Chengyi had a blank expression on his face.

Xiao Zheng finally ran upstairs hurriedly with the box.

When the pointer turned to the last minute, Su Chengyi lowered his head and opened the box.

The layer of dumplings that Sister Lin left for him were specially separated so that they would not stick together.

Su Chengyi tasted one; it was still hot and so delicious that it made him feel that if happiness had a taste, it would taste like the dumplings made by Sister Lin.

He adjusted the seat back a little, leaned back in the most comfortable position, and turned on the car music radio.

In the distance, the streets are bustling with traffic, and all the houses are brightly lit tonight.

Su Chengyi stayed in his Aston Martin, watching everything silently through the car window.

When the pointer reached the last ten seconds, a lively and boisterous collective countdown sounded from somewhere.

"Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven!"

The sound of the car radio broadcast was drowned out by the cheers and seemed vague and distant.

"At the beginning of the new year, I would like to wish all listeners peace and success with this song "This Life Will Never Change."

"."

"five four three two one!"

"Happy New Year!!!"

"."

Amid the cheers of the crowd in the distance, Su Chengyi silently lowered his head and continued to eat dumplings. He was alone at the moment, so there was no need for him to speak and ask for blessings from anyone.

He poked one at random with the tip of his chopsticks, and it was stuffed with shrimp. I don’t know if Sister Lin thought he liked it, but in fact, he really wanted to try the fennel pork.

He spent the first minute of the new year in such fanciful thoughts.

And at this moment.

Zhi Jinchen’s studio upstairs.

Chen Jinzhi leaned against the windowsill, looking at the faint pink color behind the window of the Aston Martin.

In a hospital on the other side of the city.

Chu Qingmian quietly listened to the crosstalk sketches by Xu Yang and Han Bing, and looked at the twinkling stars in the suburban sky.

When the countdown ended, they lowered their eyes at the same time and whispered in their hearts:
"Happy New Year, Su Chengyi."

Amid the bustling crowds celebrating the New Year, there was a moment of total silence, and the car music happened to play to the climax of the whole song.

“Looking back, we haven’t gone far.”
