Chapter 178 I Only Like to Give

Wen Shuqiao actually doesn't want much.

When I was young, I wanted to have only photos of myself so I could take them out and look at them at any time so I wouldn’t forget what I looked like.

When I was a student, I wanted to study hard, get a scholarship, go to a good school, and earn a one percent chance for my bleak life.

After I get a job, I want a house of my own. It can be small, but it belongs only to me. I don’t have strange roommates, and I won’t be kicked out by the landlord. I won’t stand on the side of the road alone, wondering whether to go to a 24-hour convenience store or a cheap hotel.

After coming to this world, she didn't struggle much. She quickly adjusted her state and continued with her life's mission - to live.

No one knows what she likes, no one has ever asked her what she likes, not even she herself knows.

But today, when she stepped into the camera shop and touched the real camera with her fingers, her heart actually wavered.

But what she is best at is control. Controlling her own desires is the easiest thing for her.

Shen Jiazhou saw that she was looking at the camera all the time, not saying anything, and her expression remained the same as always. He couldn't figure out what she was thinking at the moment.

He pursed his lips and said to Cancan, "Baby, go get the instruction manual. Can we study it together with Auntie?"

Shen Jiazhou put all the related things together and placed them in Cancan's children's room.

Cancan nodded, obediently got off the sofa, and went to the children's room to find the instructions.

After Cancan left for a while, Shen Jiazhou asked, "Don't you like it?"

Wen Shuqiao came back to her senses. She was a little slow to say "ah" before finally whispering, "I like it."

Shen Jiazhou leaned slightly to the side and said, "But I don't see any expression of liking it on your face. Don't you like this color? But cameras are usually black and white. If you like green or any other color, I can have someone customize it."

Wen Shuqiao came back to her senses. She turned her head to look at Shen Jiazhou and smiled: "Thank you, I like it."

She looked at the camera again, and after a few seconds, she looked at Shen Jiazhou again: "How much is it? I'll transfer it to you later."

"It wasn't my money." Shen Jiazhou didn't know why, but he felt a little angry because of Wen Shuqiao's words, but he still explained: "Cancan paid for it, I just helped him choose it."

Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but look at the camera when he heard this: "He doesn't look like he can afford it."

Shen Jiazhou chuckled, and without hiding it from Wen Shuqiao, he took out a coin from his pocket and said, "This is 1."

Then he took out four 10-yuan notes and said, "These are four eights. The extra ones are my reward for my hard work."

True 18888.

It’s hard for Cancan, who still thinks about his hard work pay.

Wen Shuqiao silently picked up his mobile phone which had been placed on the sofa, unlocked it and opened WeChat.

The next second, the phone in his hand was snatched away.

She turned slightly to the side and looked at Shen Jiazhou who had taken her phone. Shen Jiazhou lowered his eyes and looked at her screen: "Uncle Shen? Change this name, I don't like it."

He lightly pressed the power button on his phone and placed it on the coffee table: "I already said that Cancan paid for it. I have no intention of taking away his credit. He gave me forty-one dollars. I will deduct the remaining amount from his assets."

Shen Jiazhou met Wen Shuqiao's eyes and said, "Instead of thinking about how to repay me for this favor, you should think about how you will tell Cancan when he comes out later."

Wen Shuqiao avoided her gaze and looked towards the children's room, but unexpectedly Shen Jiazhou suddenly moved closer and looked at her expression with his narrow eyes.

Shen Jiazhou said: "Wen Shuqiao, you are so thin-skinned that you will be easily taken advantage of."

He leaned back on the sofa: "So what if I bought it? Since I gave it to you, that means it's a gift."

He paused, and finally said, "It means I can afford it."

Wen Shuqiao couldn't help but smile: "Boss Shen, you are so generous."

"Don't give me that." Shen Jiazhou said, "I finally realized that you always say this when you want to give someone a perfunctory answer. Then you think about it and find an excuse to give it back to me."

He raised his chin slightly, but his eyes were always on Wen Shuqiao: "Twist."

Wen Shuqiao also leaned on the sofa like him, and the distance between them was just a little bit.

She replied: "Only courtesy can keep friendship lasting."

"I just like to give." Shen Jiazhou sighed softly: "Who told me that I have a good heart?"

Wen Shuqiao blinked lightly, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond to Shen Jiazhou's words.

Shen Jiazhou crossed his arms and continued, "I don't know how to respond, so I just said thank you. It's no big deal."

Wen Shuqiao lowered his head slightly and gave an ambiguous smile, then raised his head and said solemnly, "Thank you."

Shen Jiazhou heard this thank you and hummed softly, then raised his eyebrows slightly: "You're welcome."

Wen Shuqiao looked at the camera on the coffee table again, reached out and picked it up. She weighed it and found it was still quite heavy.

She looked at the camera and the external device from left to right, and Shen Jiazhou said, "The power button is here."

As he spoke, he moved closer to her and reached out to press the power button on the camera.

Wen Shuqiao nodded: "Thank you."

Shen Jiazhou continued, "Everything is ready. I've given you two lenses. The other one is out of stock. I'll send it over in a few days."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Wen Shuqiao was also trying to figure out the functions of the camera. She asked, "Do you know how to do it?"

Shen Jiazhou coughed lightly and said, "I know a little bit."

I had a brief understanding of it when I was in college, but he had no interest. He didn't like taking pictures, nor did he like taking pictures of others. Both cameras and mobile phone lenses were just decorations to him.

Until Cancan appeared, his phone now contains either photos of Cancan taken by him or selfies of Cancan, which he would occasionally take out to take a look.

He briefly explained the function to her, and Wen Shuqiao listened carefully and kept it in mind.

Shen Jiazhou's attention shifted from the camera to Wen Shuqiao, and only now did he realize that the two of them were sitting very close to each other because of discussing the camera.

With just a slight movement, both parties' arms can be attached.

At this moment, he could smell the scent of Wen Shuqiao's shampoo with every breath he took, which was the same one he used.

Wen Shuqiao was so absorbed in studying the camera that he didn't notice anything wrong.

He silently leaned back, creating some distance between them, and then asked, "Are you ready to sign up for a class? It's a good opportunity to learn systematically before the New Year."

Wen Shuqiao thought of the flyer she had received and nodded: "I think so. After all, we can't waste Cancan and your kindness."

She will go for consultation tomorrow. If the price is right, she will sign up for one. Of course, the prerequisite is that she can bring her children with her.

Otherwise, what should Cancan do?

"Well, go ahead. I'll take Cancan to the company and pick him up after you're done." Shen Jiazhou took a deep breath and said, "It won't delay us."

Wen Shuqiao put the camera on his lap and turned his head and said, "No, I'll go ask if I can bring the child to class. It will delay your work if you bring him to the company."

"What's the delay?" Shen Jiazhou stood up again.

Wen Shuqiao then realized that the distance between them had unknowingly become so much closer, so she naturally moved to the side, creating a polite distance between them.

Shen Jiazhou noticed it, and quickly retracted his gaze, continuing: "There's nothing to delay. I don't need to worry about the company's affairs now. The equity contract has been signed. I will resign when the money arrives."

He reviewed the contract with the lawyer today, and when he accompanied Wen Shuqiao to look at a house in the afternoon, he received a message from the lawyer saying that the contract had entered the process, and the speed was very fast, even faster than Shen Jiazhou expected.

"I originally thought that I would finish the matter before the Spring Festival this year. I estimated that it would be almost finished by the end of the month." Shen Jiazhou said: "They are more impatient than I am. They wish I would not do anything now so that they can show off."

He has been so tense for the past two years, it's time for him to take a break and have some fun.
