On the morning of May 4th, Li Xiuyuan was jogging along the lakeside track when his phone rang. He stopped and took out his phone.
The notifications and spam text messages on mobile phones at that time were different from those on mobile phones in later generations. Apart from messages sent by 10086 (China Mobile's customer service number), basically every time the phone rang, it meant something important was happening.
When Li Xiuyuan opened it, he found it was a photo sent by Su Ziying via MMS. He wondered where she was running; the trees were lush and green, and the morning sunlight streamed through the gaps. Although the resolution was a bit blurry due to the limitations of the phone, it made the photo look rather beautiful.
Since Li Xiuyuan took a photo of Su Ziying on May 1st, he has not contacted her at all in the past few days.
On the one hand, Li Xiuyuan was worried that it would be inconvenient for Su Ziying to be at home. Their relationship was not very fragile at the moment; it could only be described as having a tiny spark.
If Minister Su finds out, he will definitely cut it off immediately.
What he wanted was to take advantage of the year and a half that Su Ziying was teaching in the central town to slowly nurture and grow their relationship. By the time Minister Su found out, their relationship would have grown into a towering tree, ready to weather any storms.
On the other hand, it's also because in relationships, sometimes you need to play hard to get and maintain a sense of novelty. Not contacting each other for a few days can help you accumulate more longing.
However, now that Su Ziying's photo has been sent, it's no different from directly saying "I miss you a little".
Otherwise, if a girl isn't interested in you, she wouldn't share her life with you so early in the morning during a holiday.
Li Xiuyuan also picked up his phone and took a picture of the lakeside running track, intending to send it to Su Ziying. Taking a picture of the lakeside running track could also give Su Ziying a hint.
Those were the days you weren't there, and I didn't go running at the central town playground either.
However, after taking the photo, Li Xiuyuan stopped what he was doing, looked around, found someone else exercising nearby, handed his phone to the other person, and asked them to take a picture of him.
At that time, there was no concept of photography skills, because the phone's pixel count was just so-so, but the person was young, and the background was also good.
The lake surface is bathed in sunlight in the early morning, sparkling and shimmering with golden light. Against this backdrop, even a young man with a touch of handsomeness can look incredibly dashing in a photo.
Li Xiuyuan sent it directly to Su Ziying.
After sending the message to Li Xiuyuan, Su Ziying held her phone and waited for his reply, but she didn't see it for a long time.
He couldn't help but wonder if Li Xiuyuan had another social engagement last night and hadn't gotten up this morning, or if he was just sleeping in during the holiday.
Various possibilities ran through her mind when her phone rang. Su Ziying opened her phone and looked at the photo, seeing Li Xiuyuan's familiar smile.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud. My bright smile added a touch of color to the park track at the entrance of the provincial party committee's residential compound.
