Volume 1 Chapter 86 The Security of Absolute Trust

After arriving at Tai'an Station and exiting the station, Shi Rui once again organized everyone to take photos in front of the train station landmark.

Du Ruo originally thought that it was just like the previous group photo and she could accept it calmly, so she took the initiative to cooperate in tearing open the banner.

Unexpectedly, Shi Rui spread the banner on the ground, and then posted a series of group photo poses in the group, saying: "Every time we take a group photo from now on, we will check in according to these poses, everyone please remember it."

Du Ruo took out his phone and scanned it with a complicated expression. What are these...

The Thousand-Armed Guanyin posture, the Multi-Pointed Star posture, the Stacking Music posture... there are many different postures.

Shi Rui kept chattering, "Friends, when you go out to play, you have to have fun! Without me, you will never have this experience in your life. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again. Come on, cooperate with me. Let's take the photo of the Thousand-armed Guanyin first, and I will take the center position."

Du Ruo no longer had the heart to resist, so he silently put on his sunglasses, crossed his legs on the ground, and sat in the seat he designated. Several people behind him stood in order according to their heights, and asked passers-by to help take a second photo.

Shi Rui took back his phone, and when he saw the finished film, he burst out laughing, "Sister...hahahahahahahahaha..."

He sent the photo to the group, and everyone checked the photo and found that Du Ruo was sitting cross-legged with a slight pursed mouth, his left hand relaxedly placed horizontally on his legs, his right hand bent in a ring shape facing forward, and he made a very standard 'OK' gesture of the sitting Guanyin statue.

The group photo templates that Shi Rui found were not so standard.

Everyone couldn't help laughing. Du Ruo was puzzled and explained seriously, "Aren't you imitating Guanyin? Guanyin has this posture. If you do it, do it to the best of your ability."

The photo pose was 1% funny, but Du Ruo's serious explanation was 100% funny, and everyone laughed out loud.

Jian Yu was even more delighted. She hugged Du Ruo's arm affectionately and said softly, "Ruoruo, you are so cute. Can I take a few photos with you?"

Du Ruo nodded, "Okay."

Li Qianyue also quickly followed suit and said coquettishly: "Ruoruo, I want to take a photo too."

"Okay." Du Ruo accepted everyone who came.

Another girl, Dai Ziyi, who was the girl with a bun who was in the same group with Du Ruo before, also clamored to join.

The four girls gathered together to take individual photos, while the boys waited patiently on the side.

Shi Rui walked up to Xu Jingmo and sighed, "Second brother, your fortune is really enviable."

I originally thought Du Ruo was the serious nerd type, but actually she is a slow-warm type. Although she doesn't take the initiative to talk to people, she can get along well if you joke with her. Sometimes her unique train of thought reveals a bit of cuteness in contrast. She is a wonderful person.

Xu Jingmo looked at Du Ruo who was surrounded not far away with gentle eyes, and admitted frankly, "Well, thank God for his kindness."

The most grateful thing his father had done in his life was to move him to Jiangcheng.

If he hadn't moved, he wouldn't have met Du Ruo, they wouldn't have become childhood sweethearts, he wouldn't have become the Xu Jingmo he is today, and she wouldn't have liked him... One can only say that God was kind to him and gave him this fate.

Shi Rui continued to praise: "But you are not bad either. Although people envy you for being with a fairy, no matter who you are with, people will envy you. If you are not worthy of her, then no one else is likely to be worthy of her. You deserve this blessing."

Xu Jingmo turned his head and glanced at him meaningfully. Shi Rui asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xu Jingmo: "I suddenly realized that the words coming out of your mouth are quite nice."

Shi Rui was not convinced. "When did I say something bad? My mother said that I was born to make a living by eating."

Xu Jingmo was in a good mood and promised, "I won't spoil your trip this time. I will fully cooperate with you."

Shi Rui was waiting for this sentence, as if he had received a golden ticket of immunity from death, and hurriedly asked: "Really? I plan to take the bus and sleep in the dormitory at night."

The rest of them had discussed it last night and didn't mind.

The only person who couldn't be contacted was Xu Jingmo. He and Du Ruo were both from wealthy families and had never even taken a second-class high-speed train when traveling. It was not known whether they could accept such an arrangement. Shi Rui promised the rest that he would take care of it.

Seeing Xu Jingmo's changeable attitude today, I was unsure at first, but I didn't expect that such a flattery would hit me right in the heart. What a coincidence.

Xu Jingmo only frowned slightly when he heard these two unfamiliar words, and nodded without any hesitation and said, "Okay."

Since Du Ruo was curious about their way of traveling, it was natural for him to do the same as them in everything. It was not a bad thing to experience everything once. Neither of them was so pretentious and they were not the kind of people who were not sociable.

Shi Rui said happily: "Second brother, I didn't exaggerate. You are not bad, you are excellent!"

He doesn't have any airs of a top wealthy family at all. If Du Ruo hadn't suddenly appeared, they wouldn't even have seen him use his special privileges in school in a high-profile manner. What's wrong with being a wealthy family? It doesn't prevent them from playing together and becoming good friends.

Xu Jingmo glanced at him and said, "That's enough. No matter how much you flatter me, I won't be fooled by you."

Shi Rui tried to make up for it in his heart, but he was almost fooled by him.

After Du Ruo and her friends finished taking photos, everyone walked to the bus stop, took the bus to the city, and checked in for their first Tai'an delicacy - fried chicken.

There were so many of them that the seats on the bus were full, so the ten of them stood separately.

Du Ruo leaned on the armrest of a seat. Xu Jingmo stood behind her, shielding her from the crowd. He asked in a low voice, "You've never taken a bus before? How does it feel? Are you able to accept it?"

Du Ruo commented honestly: "I've never sat on it before, and the smell is not very pleasant."

There were many people in the car and the windows were not opened, so the air circulation was poor and there were all kinds of smells that were hard to describe.

"But I can accept it." She added, "Don't make it special for me. Life is about experience. If you don't experience it, you will never know."

Xu Jingmo: "Rui asked me just now, and I said that neither of us is that pretentious."

"Well, you did the right thing. When you go out to have fun, the most important thing is not to do anything special or it will ruin your fun."

Du Ruo turned to the side and hugged him instead, burying her face in his chest, and said in a humming voice: "You smell better. I'm standing here. Please protect me, brother."

Xu Jingmo changed his method of support and held her tightly in his arms to prevent her from falling. He laughed and said, "It's starting again, right?"

Du Ruo: "Just tell me, do you buy into this?"

She could understand that he liked to hear sweet words from her. There is no one who doesn't like to hear nice things, right?

But I really don't understand why she likes to call me brother. What kind of habit is this? Does it make him look older than her?

Xu Jingmo seemed to have transformed into the roundworm in her stomach again. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "It's not a special fetish. I just thought you were so cute when you first called me brother when you were little. After that, you stopped calling me brother. I'm obsessed with that."

Du Ruo asked back: "Am I not lovable now?"

"..." Xu Jingmo was convinced, "Your rhetoric is too powerful, and the first thing you say is a fatal question."

Du Ruo buried herself in his arms and smiled secretly. The pleasant smell of pine wood from his body filled her nose, making her feel at ease and comfortable.

If Xu Jingmo hadn't been there with her, she would never have had this kind of life experience, it would have been completely a waste of time.

But with him around, she would find it interesting and be curious about all unknown experiences, because she knew that he would definitely accompany her through thick and thin, giving her a sense of security that she could trust absolutely.
