Chapter 19 Secret Photography

Su Man raised her eyebrows: "I thought you would at least send me a text message to tell me you arrived."

Xiao Beisheng didn't respond, but instead asked, "Do you have any other plans? Would you mind my honor and have a simple meal together to celebrate your successful performance?"

Su Man arched her eyebrows and said, "Of course I'm very happy to do that."

After taking photos with the students, the two left the school together. Xiao Beisheng did not bring a driver tonight, he drove himself.

Suman went to a French restaurant with him.

He had booked a seat in advance, which surprised Suman.

The restaurant has an elegant environment and a quiet atmosphere. While eating, the candlelight flickered in front of them. Xiao Beisheng lowered his head to cut foie gras. Su Man looked up and saw his handsome features. For a moment, she was in a trance and felt that they really were in love.

Their reflections were reflected in the glass window, making them look like an ordinary couple among thousands of couples on a date.

But unfortunately, she didn't even have a name.

After the meal, the two left the restaurant together. As soon as they opened the door, a cold wind blew in from the night, and Su Man shivered.

The nights in early spring are still very cold.

A coat was draped over Su Man's shoulders, still carrying the man's body temperature: "Put it on, it's near the river here and the wind is strong."

As they prepared to board the car, a few fireworks suddenly exploded above the dark river. Orange, yellow, indigo, and deep purple, they looked like enchanting flowers. Someone must be setting off fireworks by the river.

Su Man paused before getting into the car, stood beside the car without moving, and looked up at the sky.

"Go and take a look?" Xiao Beisheng asked.

Su Man: "Is it okay?"

"If you want to go, go. What's wrong with that?"

Xiao Beisheng locked the car, walked to Su Man, and put his arm around her shoulders. His movements were so natural and smooth that it seemed as if he didn't even realize it.

Su Man did not refuse and let him hug her. She liked the cedar scent on his body. In such a night breeze, she snuggled in his arms and felt warm.

By the river, a group of eighteen or nineteen-year-old young people were setting off fireworks, running, jumping, and laughing, creating a very lively atmosphere.

"It's great to be young." Su Man sighed.

Xiao Beisheng glanced at her without comment, then looked around and locked onto his target: "Wait for me."

Xiao Beisheng let go of Su Man and walked towards a shop across the street. Su Man looked carefully and found that there was a sign in front of the shop saying "Fireworks for sale".

Not long after, Xiao Beisheng came back with a big bag of fireworks.

"Are you asking... us to release it?"

"Don't you want to try it? Instead of envying others, why not do it yourself?"

Xiao Beisheng spoke in a tone of an old cadre, which made Su Man laugh: "I thought that the CEO of Dingsheng Group would not do such things."

She took the fireworks from Xiao Beisheng's hand and ran to the river first.

Su Man always says that others are young and behaves like a mature person in the workplace, but in fact, she has the soul of a child in her heart.

She was lighting fireworks there. Before lighting them, she raised her head and smiled at Xiao Beisheng who was not far away. Her eyes were clear and innocent, no different from those young people in their early twenties next to her.

At that moment, Xiao Beisheng seemed to see Su Man in college.

At that time, Su Man was also young and outgoing. When she was oppressed by her aunt, she would run away from home and huddle on the side of the road, looking as miserable as a stray cat.

Thin and pitiful, but those eyes are particularly bright.

I took her home and washed her, and found that she was still very beautiful...

"Xiao Beisheng!"

Suman calls him.

Xiao Beisheng pulled himself out of his memories, stretched out his long legs, and strode towards her.

The first bucket of fireworks was lit, and Su Man ran back excitedly. He opened his arms and held her in his arms.

Su Man bumped into a large area of ​​solid warmth, and for some unknown reason, she reached out and hugged his waist.

The moment she hugged him, the man's thin waist stiffened, and then he held her arms tighter.

Fireworks rose into the sky behind the two of them, exploding in the night and illuminating the river in front of them. Su Man looked up at the fireworks in his arms, her eyes shining.

Xiao Beisheng didn't look at the fireworks. He lowered his head to look at her. Her eyes were as bright as stars, reflecting the fireworks, forming another more attractive starry sky.

The next moment, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

The moment the cold, soft lips touched hers, Su Man's mind went blank for several seconds. She could not see the splendor of the fireworks, nor hear the cheers of the young people. The only thing in her mind was the kiss.

Xiao Beisheng's voice was gentle and affectionate, and the crisp scent of tobacco filled her breath. Su Man felt numb all over, and her heart was beating wildly, slowly changing from a dense drumbeat to a sonorous and powerful restlessness.

She closed her eyes and responded to him.

This was their first official date after knowing each other for so long.

There was no mutual exploitation, no other complicated relationships, only Su Man and Xiao Beisheng, only her and him.

After setting off the fireworks, they held hands and walked on the plank road for a while before returning home.

Back at Qin Ganyun Mansion, Su Man rarely showed a trace of shyness like a little girl experiencing love for the first time. He sent her back to her room, and they stood in front of the door to say goodbye.

One is inside and the other is outside.

"Then... I'll go back to my room first, and you should go to bed early." Su Man's cheeks were flushed.

"Well, good night." Xiao Beisheng stared at her with deep eyes.

"Well... tonight, I had a great time, thank you."

"Me too."

Su Man took two steps back and prepared to close the door, but her movements were very slow. She looked at Xiao Beisheng, as if she had something to say.

But in the end, she said nothing, just waved at him: "Good night."

She closed the door.

When the door was just a crack away, the person outside turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, then pulled Su Man into his arms and kissed her passionately.

The door was closed.

In the dark room, the only sounds were the intertwined low gasps and the rustling of clothes.

Su Man and Xiao Beisheng kissed passionately, and were led inside by Xiao Beisheng, and finally fell on the bed...

In the next few days, Xiao Beisheng will return to Qin Ganyun Mansion.

They eat together, go to work together, and go on dates together after get off work, just like a couple in love.

In fact, Su Man spent a lot of effort to convince herself to accept the current relationship.

If she didn't know that Xiao Beisheng had no feelings for Wang Yuqing, his blind date, and didn't want to continue developing a relationship with her, Su Man would not have indulged herself and gotten along with Xiao Beisheng like this.

After Su Man finished her classes that day, she received a message from Xiao Beisheng, saying that he was on his way to H University and asked Su Man to wait for him.

Su Man packed her things and waited for Xiao Beisheng at the school gate.

I met Song Lin on the way.

"Teacher Su!" Song Lin called Su Man from afar and ran all the way across the long school road.

When he came closer, panting, Su Man asked, "What's wrong?"

"Look at this,"

Song Lin looked anxious and handed the phone to Su Man.

There was a piece of gossip on the phone. Su Man saw at a glance that the people in the photo were her and Xiao Beisheng.

This is a photo of her going out with Xiao Beisheng after the performance that day.

Photos of them dining together in a restaurant, photos of them setting off fireworks together by the river, photos of Xiao Beisheng holding her in his arms and kissing her passionately, photos of them walking hand in hand on the plank road...

The angle shows that it was taken secretly, and the camera was followed all the way.
