I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 652 Wait

The morning mist gradually dissipated, and the sunlight shone through the thin clouds, presenting a dazzling golden light.

Su Chengyi walked quickly with his head slightly lowered. The raised collar of his windbreaker covered the lower half of his face. His hair, which had not been trimmed for a while, hung down softly, vaguely blocking his eyes.

This look made the security guard at the door couldn't help but look at him several more times.

After all, it is now the lively time of returning home before the New Year, and even places like hospitals are filled with laughter and joy that have not been heard for a long time.

Chinese people attach great importance to the most important festival, the Chinese New Year. It seems that as long as New Year's Eve is over, all the pain and sorrow will be washed away by the sound of firecrackers, and New Year's Day will be another new day.

And the sudden appearance of such a cold and cold young man in black in such a joyous and lively atmosphere really made people feel suspicious.

Su Chengyi ignored the vigilant gaze of the security guard following him all the way, and just walked quickly. He stopped and pulled down the zipper of his windbreaker, revealing the lower half of his face again.

The nurse on duty quickly noticed this thin young man with a delicate face and a thin body. After hesitating for a while, she asked:
"Hello, are you here to visit?"

"Ah."

Su Chengyi spoke politely, but his eyes were looking nowhere.

"Excuse me, where is Xia Yu's ward?"

……

Following the instructions of the nurse on duty, Su Chengyi pressed the elevator floor button.

Unlike when he was in the Jushan Sanatorium, Xia Yu was just an ordinary patient in this regular hospital. He did not need the special ward on the top floor, nor did he need layers of shackles that were called "protection" but were actually "imprisonment."

The elevator slowly went up. Su Chengyi leaned against the cold metal wall and looked up at the jumping red numbers.

The aftermath of the kidnapping case subsided unexpectedly quickly.

Although it was an emergency, he was the one who killed Wu Shaobo with his own hands after all. He originally thought that at worst he would be taken away by the police for investigation and questioning. Unexpectedly, nothing happened after that.

The Chu family was solely responsible for the aftermath of the incident. They must have used some means to clear him of all charges.

The days passed peacefully, and except for the Shura Field, everything seemed to be the same as before.

It's like water disappearing into water.

Su Chengyi thought, but he was a bit like a fish that was unfortunately stranded.

……

I learned from Xu Yang a few days ago that Chu Qingmian has been discharged from the hospital. Although his mood is still low, fortunately his body has recovered well and he can eat normally.

She did not choose to go home to continue recuperating, but went straight to Xingxing Entertainment.

It is said that even the workaholic Wei Peilan strongly disapproved of her behavior, but she insisted on doing it and no one could stop her.

Ms. Chu from Xingxing Entertainment returned to work and quickly made big investments in several projects. Not surprisingly, she will be very busy in the coming period.

Su Chengyi knew that Chu Qingmian always had her own little thoughts about work, such as deliberately keeping efficiency within a reasonable range in order to reserve time for rest, and postponing the date of a project that could obviously be followed up.

But now it is obviously not the case. She has become a diligent little Ms. Chu and does not need to rack her brains to reserve time for dates and travel for anyone.

Su Chengyi listened to Xu Yang's vivid description and his "wingman guarantee" as he patted his chest.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yi! As soon as I have any news, I will find out for you and pass it on to you immediately. Don't worry about my brother's work!

I am the best at being a wingman. You didn't tell me first but told Mu Mu instead. It was really a mistake on your part!"

Su Chengyi remained noncommittal and was too lazy to refute.

Of course he knew that the top-level confidential information Xu Yang thought he had obtained was actually information Han Bing had deliberately told him.

Unlike what he imagined, his best friend Han Bing, who knew the truth, did not yell at him or fight with him. She just found it unbelievable and then sighed.

I originally thought I was going to have to endure a whole set of Seven Injury Fists or something like that.

At this moment, the elevator arrived at the designated floor, and a "ding dong" sound interrupted his wandering thoughts.

Su Chengyi stepped out of the elevator and found that many red lanterns were hung in the hospital corridors. Unlike the usual pale white corridors, all kinds of patients' families were walking through the corridors, and the doctors and nurses on duty were patiently answering their questions.

Part of the reason Xia Yu was hospitalized was because, like Miss Chu, she had overdosed on sedatives and needed to be observed for any adverse reactions and sequelae; the other reason was because of her loss of language function and the possibility of trying to repair it.

Chu Yuanjiang apologized for this and wanted to bear the subsequent treatment costs. Although he arranged to send Xia Yu to Jushan Sanatorium, he did not care about the follow-up. He just kept a glimmer of hope for her to stand up and identify Wu Shaobo one day. In general, he was using her for his own benefit.

Su Chengyi expressed his understanding and then declined his funding.

He was very sure that Xia Yu had no intellectual problems, she just couldn't speak and had a personality disorder caused by childhood trauma.

When he reached the door of the ward, Su Chengyi stopped and checked his image in the reflection of the glass.

The hair on his forehead seemed too long, and there was some stubble on the edge of his chin.

Forget it.

Su Chengyi sighed softly and pushed the door open.

Xia Yu had already woken up and was concentrating on painting something on the drawing board with his head down. He did not look up when he heard someone coming in.

Su Chengyi walked to the bedside and lowered his head to look at her painting.

It is still a very impressionist style of painting, with the entire picture being presented in orange-red, as if it is a gorgeous morning glow.

"Impression, Sunrise?"

Su Chengyi sat down on the edge of the bed and joked.

"Impression, Sunrise" is one of the representative works of Impressionist master Monet.

Hearing his voice, Xia Yu stopped painting and his eyes lit up when he looked up.

But she shook her head decisively, changed a pencil, and wrote on the drawing board:
"luori."

"Sunset?"

Su Chengyi smiled, somewhat surprised that such a brilliant thick coating could be the sunset.

Xia Yu nodded, very sure of this.

Su Chengyi picked up the eraser and wiped off the pencil marks in the corner of the drawing paper. This painting was very beautiful and should not have any unnecessary flaws.

"Has the doctor come to see you today?"

he asked.

The little girl nodded obediently.

Su Chengyi also nodded.

If there were any physical problems or any progress in the treatment, the doctor would contact him immediately, but he didn't, which meant that today was the same as usual.

At this point, Xia Yu seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly changed to a new piece of drawing paper and quickly drew a circle.

Su Chengyi supported himself on his elbows and watched her paint. Soon, the circle turned into a lifelike orange.

"."

Su Chengyi was slightly stunned, and then he heard a strange noise coming from behind him.

"Wang Wang~"

The barking of a dog is very vivid, and it's from a small local puppy that was just born not too long ago.

Su Chengyi sighed and turned away.

What caught my eye was indeed Ye Ju's bright smiling face. She was wearing a yellow woolen hat with a built-in pom-pom today, making her look like a furry little yellow duck.

"You imitated me so well. I thought a dog ran into the ward."

Su Chengyi spoke calmly.

"There is a ventriloquist in Beijing. He will perform for you for free. Just enjoy yourself!"

Ye Ju curled her lips, put the bag of tangerines in her hand on the bedside table, and pinched Xia Yu's little face with a smile.

"I saw an old man selling them on a cart on the road, so I bought a bag. Xiaoyu, be careful. Don't eat too much, or you'll get a sore throat."

She leaned against the head of the bed, peeled one, and stuffed half of it into Xia Yu's mouth.

"Isn't it sweet?"

Xia Yu chewed hard and nodded with difficulty.

Ye Ju then stuffed the other half of the orange into his mouth and squinted his eyes with satisfaction.

"Su Chengyi, do you want to eat it? Peel it yourself."

When the words of refusal were on the tip of his tongue, Su Chengyi suddenly wanted to try it.

"Ah."

The tangerines are very small, and you can eat one in one bite without any pressure. The sweet juice instantly fills your mouth.

He came here without eating breakfast this morning. After he ate a tangerine, he felt the coolness sliding down his throat to his stomach. "You made an appointment with her to come over today?"

Su Chengyi asked this while looking at the orange on the drawing paper.

"Hmm~ Thanks to the phone watch you bought, it's much more convenient to contact Xiaoyu now."

Although he had just reminded Xia Yu not to eat too many oranges at once, Ye Ju quickly ate four or five oranges.

"."

Su Chengyi was silent for a moment and didn't say much.

Just thinking about it, this phone watch did play a big role. It can almost be said that its positioning function changed the outcome of the kidnapping case.

Having said that, Ye Ju picked up a handful of orange peels and threw them into the trash can, then patted Xia Yu's head gently with his wrist.

"Xiaoyu, play by yourself for a while."

She quickly turned her gaze to Su Chengyi and said:
"Let's go talk to the doctor?"

"it is good."

Su Chengyi nodded and stood up.

After walking out of the ward, Ye Ju walked straight forward.

Su Chengyi put his hands in his pockets and followed her. She was wearing a yellow woolen hat, which made her very conspicuous.

It was not until she pushed open the glass door of the balcony and the morning breeze outside the window blew on her face that Su Chengyi raised his eyes in confusion.

"Didn't you say you wanted to see a doctor?"

"Yes, yes."

Ye Ju made a gorgeous turn, coughed twice in a pretentious manner, and added the "thump thump thump" sound effect for his entrance.

"That's right! It's me, Doctor Ju! Reappearing the medical skills of Hua Tuo and the sentiments of Florence Nightingale~"

"."

Su Chengyi turned around and pushed open the glass door.

"I'm going back first. It's a bit cold outside."

"Hey hey hey! Wait a minute!"

Unable to persuade this miracle doctor, and afraid that she would jump in the corridor and disturb the patients' rest, Su Chengyi had to turn back, lean on the balcony railing, and listen to what she had to say.

"I have a general idea of ​​the details of the kidnapping case a few days ago."

Ye Ju leaned on the railing and spoke.

Unlike the nonsensical conversation I had imagined, her tone was serious.

"Ah."

Su Chengyi silently guessed what she would say next, but he still failed to guess what Sister Orange was thinking.

"Goddess~~It's so satisfying to see the scumbag turn over a new leaf."

Ye Ju said, shaking his head, in a cheerful tone like singing a folk song.

".So the specific situation also includes this?"

Su Chengyi replied helplessly.

"Of course, we, the audience, are often the most concerned about this kind of melodramatic gossip."

Ye Ju narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly, resting his chin on the railing.

"Is it obvious?"

Su Chengyi asked.

"Nonsense, in a scene like that, any ant passing by would know what's going on, right?"

Ye Ju curled her lips, and her eyes under the brim of her hat looked bright in the sunlight.

"Besides, seeing your current state, the answer is self-evident."

"My status?"

Su Chengyi coughed and asked back.

"Hmm, it's obvious that she's trapped in love and is very distressed. The dark circles under her eyes are as if she hasn't slept for a month. Families who like male ghosts are in luck."

Ye Ju blinked and poked his lower eyelid to signal.

"Oh."

Su Chengyi had seen her own behavior in the reflection of the glass in front of the ward door earlier and knew that what she said was not an exaggeration.

But he did not deliberately become decadent or harsh on himself because of this matter. He continued to live his life as usual during this period of time.

I stayed up late, got up late, dealt with work, went to the convenience store to buy some fast food when I was hungry, and even had some free time to play "Overwatch" for a while.

If he remembered correctly, he had witnessed the rise and fall of Overwatch in his previous life. He once sat in front of the computer and thought: It would be great if he could play the previous Overwatch.

Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, he actually realized his wish.

Everything was normal, but he felt like a piece was missing from his heart. They left his life, as if taking away all his emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

"As a Young Pioneer with good character, I should be jumping up and down and scolding you right now, okay?"

Ye Ju supported her chin, rarely showing her signature annoying smile, and just looked at him quietly.

"But it seems not to work."

"why not?"

Su Chengyi's tone was indifferent. He didn't care about the so-called "rebuke" at the moment.

After the incident, no one did anything like this to him. Even the two victims just said goodbye to him with tears in their eyes.

The heaviest words are just this.

"Let me go please."

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have spoken to you at the subway station that day."

Thinking of this, Su Chengyi suddenly felt a long-lost dull pain in his internal organs, until he heard Ye Ju's voice.

"Because in my opinion, you are a very good person."

She wrapped the ball of fur on her hat around her wrist, tilted her head and continued:

"If your two girlfriends were not involved in the kidnapping case that day, and Xia Yu was the only one in the car, you would also risk your life to save her."

"may be."

Su Chengyi remained silent for a long time and did not comment on the possibility she raised.

"I think this is why the two of them fell in love with you. Because of this, they will not change because you are a dull block of wood, they will not change because you are slow to warm up, passive and unromantic, and they will not change because you are greedy and indecisive."

Having said that, Ye Ju lowered his eyes and sighed softly in the morning breeze.

"So, they still like you. Your hope is not hopeless at all, but rather endless."

"But sometimes I wonder, if it's true love, shouldn't it bring harm?"

Su Chengyi raised his head and looked up. The haze that had shrouded the capital for many days dissipated today, and the sky was blue as a mirror, like the clear sea water reflected in it.

"you're right."

In the sunlight, Ye Ju suddenly smiled.

From this angle, Su Chengyi saw that her chin had a shallow red mark left by the hard railing.

"So, as a criminal who has been deprived of his political rights for life, you just have to wait patiently."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for them to turn around. Stand at a distance where they can see you when they turn around. Wait for them to look back at you."

Having said that, Ye Ju took off her plush hat, and the static electricity caused her somewhat messy hair to stand up comically.

Su Chengyi's vision was obstructed for a moment, and then he felt a hat with warm body temperature being covered on his head.

Ye Ju looked into his eyes seriously and solemnly, like a mentor examining a thesis.

"Remember to dress conspicuously. Who can see you if you crawl around like a shadowy male ghost? Idiot."
