"That tall tower, is it the Oriental Pearl Tower?"

The two sat in a clean spot, with the sea breeze blowing in their faces.

Lin Xun pointed to the sharp buildings in the distance, comparing them with his phone as he spoke.

"It seems the picture has been photoshopped to some extent."

Su Qingshi said calmly.

It's clear that the photos online have been carefully edited; the real-life photos aren't as stunning as they appear online.

"Qingshi, let's go to Disneyland!"

Suddenly Lin Xun spoke up.

Su Qingshi looked at Lin Xun's phone, which contained a travel guide to Disneyland.

She frowned when she saw that she had to queue.

"There probably isn't enough time."

"Then, let's go to this one."

"Lujiazui, I heard the architecture there is quite impressive, and you can take pictures there."

"Um."

The night flew by, and the two explored all the nearby night views. Lin Xun's camera had already stored a large number of photos.

Many of these photos were taken secretly by him. For him, deliberately posed photos are far less natural and beautiful than candid shots of scenery.

It's very late.

Beside a stone pier, Su Qingshi leaned on Lin Xun's shoulder.

The night breeze was a bit chilly, so Lin Xun reached out and embraced the girl's delicate body, transferring his body heat to her.

He held up his phone with his other hand and started taking a selfie: "Look this way."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingshi subconsciously looked over.

The camera captured the faces of two people; Lin Xun smiled and pressed record.

"Hello Su Qingshi, I am Lin Xun, your boyfriend. I am very happy to come to this beautiful city of Haicheng with you. Life is long and there are many beautiful sights to see. I sincerely invite Ms. Su to walk with me through the rest of our lives. Ms. Su, would you like to?"

Su Qingshi listened quietly as he finished speaking, a smile appearing on her face without her noticing.

"I do."

The two suddenly looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

After turning off the video recording, Lin Xun switched to taking photos.

He said to Su Qingshi, "Sister Qingshi, let's end our trip tonight with this photo."

Holding the phone high, the image captures the two figures while incorporating as many lights as possible, freezing the moment in time.

After resting for a while, the two hailed a car and returned to the hotel.

The two of them did their research on the hotel before turning off the lights and going to sleep.

Let's start tomorrow with a visit to the museum.

…

The fourth day of the holiday.

"I...I can't walk anymore."

Along the rugged mountain path, the group sat scattered around, resting.

Jiang Yunxiao felt sore all over; they had been walking along this mountain path for half an hour.

We've only reached the mountainside so far.

Moreover, they were carrying many items.

Just then, a bottle of water appeared in front of her. Fang Ye looked at her with a smile and said, "Drink some water. The sun is a bit strong. Don't get heatstroke."

"Thanks."

Jiang Yunxiao took the water and started chugging it without any regard for her image.

Watching her drink water, Fang Ye smiled slightly: "Sorry, I knew I shouldn't have invited you."

Jiang Yunxiao rolled her eyes: "Now you know to bring this up? Where were you before?"

Before the holiday, Fang Ye approached her and invited her to do charity work with him. This time, the activity was to visit elderly people living alone in the mountains.

Deep in the mountains, there is a village that is one of the few impoverished mountain villages in the country. Due to inconvenient transportation and rugged mountain roads, the young people in the village have all left to seek their fortunes elsewhere.

However, the elderly people here stayed, after all, this is where they have lived most of their lives, and they are unwilling to leave before they pass away.

The volunteer team carried firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and drove to the foot of the mountain, because the road there was not wide enough for cars, so they had to walk.

Fang Ye sat down next to Jiang Yunxiao, wiped his sweat, and said, "Do you know why I like charity?"

Jiang Yunxiao looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Fang Ye smiled and said, "I also came from the mountains and experienced great disasters. I know the helplessness of being at the end of your rope and the feeling of having no one to help you. It is very painful and most people cannot understand or bear it."

"Maybe it's because I've been caught in the rain myself that I thought of holding an umbrella for someone else."

"Whenever I see the innocent and pure smiles of the elderly and children in those mountain villages, I feel that everything I've done is worthwhile."

Jiang Yunxiao was moved: "I agree with your thoughts. You are indeed a great philanthropist."

Fang Ye smiled wryly. He looked at the others in the room. Although they complained about the hot weather, their faces showed a kind of anticipation and a sense of fulfillment.

"I am also very grateful to these teams. Some of them even come from well-off families and may not have experienced much hardship, but they have persevered over the years and made it their habit, wholeheartedly spreading that spirit," Fang Ye said with emotion.

Jiang Yunxiao asked curiously, "So how much salary do you pay them?"

"Salary?"

Fang Ye thought for a moment and said, "At the beginning, their salaries were very high because I was afraid that people would think that this kind of public welfare activity was a thankless task. But that's just the case. So I paid them high salaries so that they were willing to work with me. In the beginning, not everyone was giving for free."

"But later, they felt that the salary didn't matter anymore, because our team also has its own careers, and we only get together during task time, so I have forgotten how long it has been since I paid them."

Jiang Yunxiao was somewhat surprised, not expecting their team to get along like this.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Wouldn't it be a bit wrong for me to shamelessly ask you for your salary?"

Fang Ye looked at her in surprise: "Why would you think that?"

Jiang Yunxiao shrugged: "Because I really treat this charity work as a job. After all, I can't understand your mindset. For me, I need to use my spare time to make money."

Hearing this, Fang Ye nodded: "I understand. You weren't originally part of our team. I was the one who pulled you in. This is what you deserve."

He paused for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Um, if I may ask, why do you need money so much?"

Jiang Yunxiao sighed: "That's a long story."

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Fang Ye wisely refrained from bringing it up.

"Um, can I ask why you don't have a boyfriend?"

Jiang Yunxiao was also taken aback by his question: "Why would you ask that?"

"I'm just curious, with your beauty, you must have a lot of suitors, right?"

Fang Ye smiled slightly, and for some reason, the phone call from that night came to mind.

Lately, I seem to have become a little strange because of this.
