Chapter 39



Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi spent a whole day in Happy Valley and tried many entertainment activities.

His Polaroid camera was not used in the morning, and in the afternoon, as he stopped doing any exciting activities, he finally had the mood to take pictures, and he took more pictures of Xia Ningmi.

It was a pity that Xia Ningmi's expression didn't change much, and even though he always caught her off guard, he didn't catch her expression changing.

Night fell and it was completely dark.

Du Yuanzhe said, "I heard there will be a fountain show tonight. Let's wait until the show is over before leaving."

Xia Ningmi nodded.

Du Yuanzhe looked at the time and said, "It's still half an hour before the game starts. Let's go play something else... I'll see what to play."

He looked around and saw a carousel not far away. There were several children sitting on it. The carousel was spinning to the music and colorful lights were flashing on it.

"Let's go play on the merry-go-round."

Xia Ningmi was very confused: "Why do you always like this kind of children's facilities?"

Du Yuanzhe retorted: "Stereotypes are not good. Who said that adults can't play this?"

"In fact, it's just the kids who play more."

"But the fact that adults play it means it has no age limit."

Du Yuanzhe was the first to sit on the wooden horse and urged Xia Ningmi: "Hurry up and get on, it's about to start."

Xia Ningmi said she was disgusted but she still sat on it.

Soon, the music of the merry-go-round started playing and the merry-go-round started spinning again.

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "These are still the most fun."

[Roller coasters are too exciting, and there is no sense of fun at all]

Du Yuanzhe raised the Polaroid camera, pointed the lens at Xia Ningmi, called her, and pressed the shutter button when Xia Ningmi looked over.

After waiting for a while, the photo was fully displayed. Du Yuanzhe showed it to Xia Ningmo: "I took so many photos of you, but you always had the same expression. If it weren't for the different background, I would have thought I pressed the button to take multiple photos in a row."

Xia Ning glanced and looked away: "Then don't shoot."

Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "I don't believe I can't capture your other expressions."

After spinning for a while, the carousel stopped and Du Yuanzhe got off.

Xia Ningmi was about to get down but he stopped her. He said, "The fountain show is still a while away. Please stay here for a while. I'll take some more photos of you from different angles."

Xia Ningmi asked him, "Why do you like taking pictures so much?"

Du Yuanzhe raised his Polaroid camera, ready to capture Xia Ningmi's changes: "I don't like taking pictures, I just like taking pictures of you."

Xia Ningmi's eyes flickered slightly.

Snap——

Du Yuanzhe immediately pressed the shutter button, and when the photo came out, he smiled.

In the photo, Xia Ning is sitting on a wooden horse with colorful lights above her head. Although there is no expression on her face, a slight change can be seen in her eyes.

Du Yuanzhe was very satisfied with the photo. He seemed to realize something and pointed the camera at Xia Ningmi again.

"Xia Ningmi, everyone else thinks you are cold and heartless, but I know you are better than everyone else. You know I like spicy food so you will take the initiative to order spicy dishes for me, and you will tell me seriously why you don't smile. You are just not good at expressing yourself, but you will remember everything I say in your heart."

Snap——

Du Yuanzhe quickly pressed the shutter button and took the next photo immediately after taking the previous one.

When the two photos were displayed, a different Xia Ningmi was indeed seen.

"What did you capture?"

Xia Ningmi's voice suddenly appeared in his ears, scaring Du Yuanzhe so much that he took a step back.

"When did you come down?"

Xia Ningmi looked down at the two photos in Du Yuanzhe's hand, her mind a little dazed.

The self in the photo looked at the camera with a rare gentleness in her eyes, dispelling the coldness around her.

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "I like these two very much."

Xia Ning took one and said, "One for each person."

Du Yuanzhe shrugged: "It's up to you."

"But I suddenly remembered that we haven't taken a photo together yet. This is too unreasonable. Let's find someone to take a photo for us."

Du Yuanzhe suggested.

Xia Ningmi frowned: "I don't like taking pictures."

Du Yuanzhe took so many photos of her, but there were only a few front-facing photos, most of them were side profile photos.

Du Yuanzhe said: "It's okay, don't look at the camera for a while, just look at me."

He found a young mother with a child and asked her to take a group photo: "Please take two photos for us."

When the mother saw the two of them, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. It was the first time she had seen such a good-looking couple.

Du Yuanzhe stood next to Xia Ningmi, looked at her and said, "If you don't want to look at the camera, you don't have to."

Xia Ningmi really didn't want to look at the camera, so she turned slightly towards Du Yuanzhe and her eyes fell on Du Yuanzhe.

Du Yuanzhe smiled at the camera.

The mother quickly took two photos, and Du Yuanzhe walked over to take back the Polaroid camera: "Thank you for taking the photo for us."

The other party smiled and said, "You're welcome. You two are a perfect match."

Du Yuanzhe thanked him again.

The other party looked at Xia Ningmi not far away and whispered, "It can be seen that your girlfriend likes you very much. I hope you will be happy."

After saying that, she took the child and left.

Du Yuanzhe stood there in a daze.

Seeing that he didn't move, Xia Ningmi walked over and asked, "Didn't you take the photo?"

While speaking, he looked at the photo in his hand, and Du Yuanzhe also looked at the photo.

One of the two people in the photo is smiling at the camera, while the other is looking at the person next to him with a gentle and moving gaze.

The two of them did not have any intimate actions, and Xia Ningmi did not have a smile on her face, but looking at this photo, one gets the impression that the two of them have a very good relationship.

Du Yuanzhe felt something strange in his heart. He turned his head to look at Xia Ning and said, "That person just praised you for being very pretty."

Xia Ningmi stretched out her hand: "Give me one."

Du Yuanzhe gave her one, and neither of them commented on how the photo turned out.

It was time for the fountain show, so they rushed over immediately, only to find that the area around the fountain was already crowded with people. They arrived just in time and couldn't get a good seat at all. They could only see heads in the front row.

When the fountain show started, they could see even less and could only hear the clapping and cheers around them.

Du Yuanzhe wanted to back out: "How about we go back?"

I can't see anything anyway.

Xia Ningmi nodded.

On the way back, Du Yuanzhe found that there were more people in Happy Valley at night than during the day. If they came at this time, they probably wouldn't even be able to find a parking space, because as soon as they drove away, a car immediately parked in their previous parking space.

Du Yuanzhe sighed: "The business of Happy Valley is really good."

Xia Ningmi said, "There are film crews shooting in Jiangcheng every day, attracting fans from all over the country to visit here. Jiangcheng's tourism revenue has always been at the forefront."

Du Yuanzhe said: "It turns out that celebrities have strong ability to bring goods, and they can also boost the tourism industry."

“It’s just the celebrity effect.”

“So even though many people look down on celebrities, they still think of them first when they want to promote their products.”

Xia Ning turned her head to look at him: "Someone said to you in front of you that they look down on celebrities?"

Du Yuanzhe: "A lot. It's the same in our circle. I don't know how my mother found out about Wei Lingling and I. She talked to me several times. She was afraid that I would insist on marrying a female star. I don't know when this prejudice will disappear."

Xia Ning looked at him calmly: "What's going on between you and Wei Lingling?"

Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "Are you focusing on the wrong thing?"

Xia Ningmi continued to look at him.

Du Yuanzhe said helplessly: "You know this matter, it's about Du Yuanzhe liking Wei Lingling before."

Xia Ningmi retracted her gaze: "This has nothing to do with you."

"The key is that my mother doesn't know, and I can't tell the truth."

"You can say you no longer like Wei Lingling."

"I did, but my mom won't believe me if I don't bring my girlfriend home for a day."

Because of Wei Lingling's existence, Du Yuanzhe didn't even dare to mention the word "female star" in the old house, for fear of touching Chen Rongsan's nerves and giving him another heart-to-heart talk.

Du Yuanzhe suddenly thought of what the mother had just said, pursed his dry lips, and felt that the atmosphere had inexplicably become strange.

【I think I said something wrong】

The two of them didn't say anything else and went all the way back to the hotel suite.

As soon as he entered the room, Du Yuanzhe threw himself on the sofa in the living room: "I feel so tired after playing all day."

Xia Ning said: "I'll go back to my room and rest first."

It is already nine o'clock, which is not too late. However, they have been outside all day and their excitement has worn off, leaving only fatigue.

After Xia Ningmi returned to her room, Du Yuanzhe did not stay in the living room for long. He went back to his room to take a shower and go to bed.

......

The next day at midnight

Du Yuanzhe, who was sleeping, opened his eyes the moment he heard the alarm, got up, opened the door and came to Xia Ning's door.

Boom boom boom——

Half a minute later, the door was opened, and Xia Ningmi, wearing light-colored pajamas, appeared in front of him.

Du Yuanzhe looked at her and said, "Xia Ningmi, happy birthday!"

Xia Ningmi raised her eyes, with a hint of confusion in her eyes: "You woke me up just for this?"

[It’s the early morning, can you be a little romantic?]

Xia Ningmi held the door handle and asked, "Anything else?"

Du Yuanzhe said hurriedly: "I want to take you to see the sunrise. We have to leave in three hours."

"Call me then."

Bang--

The door was closed.

Du Yuanzhe blinked his eyes. His birthday present had not been delivered yet.

Forget it, it will be the same if I send it after daybreak.

It was obvious that Xia Ningmi was in a bad mood just now, so he didn't dare to provoke her again.

At around three in the morning, when everyone was still asleep, Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi drove to the foot of the mountain.

Du Yuanzhe said, "I checked. It takes about two and a half hours to climb this mountain. When the sun comes out at six o'clock, we will definitely be able to see it."

Today is not a special day, and there are only two of them hiking the mountain.

Xia Ning looked up and said, "Let's go."

She said she would follow Du Yuanzhe's arrangements, and she would do whatever Du Yuanzhe said, even though it was not pleasant to get up at three in the morning.

Both of them were people who insisted on exercising. Xia Ningmi was even a judo master, so it was more than enough for them to climb the mountain. Except for stopping occasionally to drink water, the two of them did not take any special rest. They maintained a moderate pace and climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath, a little earlier than expected.

When they reached the top of the mountain, it was still dark and the wind was blowing. The temperature was much lower than at the foot of the mountain. The two immediately took out their prepared coats and put them on.

Du Yuanzhe checked the time and said, "The sun will come out in about 20 minutes. Let's wait for a while."

There must be quite a few people climbing the mountain. There is an open space in the middle of the mountain top without any weeds. There are also a few strangely shaped rocks on the side. Looking at their smooth surface, you can tell that many people have sat on them to rest.

Du Yuanzhe took out a blanket and said, "Sit down and rest for a while."

Du Yuanzhe still had a Polaroid camera hanging around his neck. It was pitch black around him and he couldn't take pictures at all, so he planned to take a picture of the moment the sun came out.

After a while, Xia Ning asked him, "Why do you want to climb the mountain?"

Du Yuanzhe looked at the distant sky that was gradually fading into darkness and said, "For no reason, I just wanted to watch the sunrise with you."

As the sky starts to get brighter, things change a little bit every moment.

“It’s out!”

Seeing a conspicuous red glow appearing on the horizon, Du Yuanzhe took a picture of the scene while giving a reminder.

As the red color grew deeper, it reflected the surrounding clouds red, and then the sun began to appear in front of Du Yuanzhe and the others.

Du Yuanzhe took many photos and exclaimed: "No wonder so many people like to watch the sunrise, it is really beautiful."

And the feeling of watching the sun rise little by little is really subtle.

Xia Ningmi stared at the sun in the distant sky. From the moment the sun came out, the temperature around her began to rise and was no longer as cold as it was at night.

Du Yuanzhe walked to the cliff and looked at the bottomless cliff. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked away and said, "There are only two of us here. No one will know what we do."

[This sounds a bit weird]

Du Yuanzhe dispelled his chaotic emotions and continued, "I personally experienced it yesterday. Shouting can not only relax you, but also vent your emotions. There's no one here. Do you want to try it?"

Xia Ning glanced at him and said, "Boring."

"You can also shout a few times when you are bored."

Xia Ning turned around and said, "We have watched the sunrise, it's time to go down the mountain."
