Like it very much
Shangyuan Street, Bange Photo Studio.
Xu Qingbo was a regular here. As soon as he walked in, the waitress teased him, "Hey, is Xiao Xu here?"
"Sister Wenwen, I'm here to print photos. There may be a lot this time." Xu Qingbo said as he took out a USB flash drive from his bag.
"Okay, no problem. Have you picked out the photos in advance?"
"Not yet. We'll have to pick one for a while."
Wenwen looked at the people traveling with Xu Qingbo and said generously, "Then you can choose. When you're done, tell me."
As she spoke, she went back to playing on the computer behind the counter.
Xu Qingbo took them to another computer with familiarity and plugged in the USB drive.
The four of them each brought a stool and sat in front of the computer together.
Li Rongrong looked at Lu Xiye who came over with amusement, "Lu Xiye, why are you coming over here? Didn't you say you wanted to buy something?"
"I haven't been to K City either. What's wrong with taking a look? It's not some shameful photo." Lu Xiye rolled his eyes at her.
There are more than 360 photos in total, starting from the sea of clouds when boarding the plane and ending with the sunset on the way back.
However, Xu Qingbo had transferred the photos of Jiang Zhizhi that he had secretly taken in advance.
"Why are there so many photos of Xu Qingbo taken here?" Li Rongrong pointed to the several rows of dozens of photos of Xu Qingbo behind the clouds and couldn't help asking.
"That photo was taken by Jiang Zhizhi for me. I was teaching her how to take photos that afternoon," Xu Qingbo explained.
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect Zhizhi to have a talent for photography. She took such a handsome picture of you! I'll ask Zhizhi to take a picture of me some other day!" Li Rongrong said with a smile.
Lu Xiye snorted and complained, "You've taken so many pictures, and you're not tired of it. When people learn to take pictures, they all start with landscapes."
"I also took a lot of landscape photos, but the scenery where we live is average, so I deleted some of them," said Xu Qingbo.
Li Rongrong supported Xu Qingbo and deliberately criticized Lu Xiye, "Of course it's fun to take pictures of people. There are so many pictures of scenery online, what's the point? Taking pictures of people is the most memorable. Right? Zhizhi."
After a large number of photos of Xu Qingbo, there are photos of the observatory and the meteor shower that night.
Li Rongrong was filled with envy. "Damn it! There's even a meteor shower! Zhizhi, you guys didn't even call to remind me. I missed it!"
"I'm sorry, Rongrong, I really didn't think of calling you at that time." Jiang Zhizhi said with a guilty look on her face.
At that time, her mind was in a mess and she was always thinking about the system.
"Well, forget it. If you see it, it's the same as if I saw it! Zhizhi, did you make a wish?"
"Yes, I agree."
"What wish did you make... Ouch! Lu Xiye, why did you hit me?"
Before Li Rongrong could finish her words, Lu Xiye hit her on the head with a slap. She covered her head and said angrily.
"If you say your wish out loud, it won't come true. Why are you asking so many questions?" Lu Xiye's tone was a little irritated.
"What's it to you if I'm talking to Zhizhi?" Li Rongrong rubbed the spot where she was hit and groaned in grievance. "Forget it, I won't ask."
Jiang Zhizhi sat aside, watching them playing and fighting, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Zhizhi, are you laughing at me too?" Li Rongrong stared with an incredible expression on her face, and a bit of grievance.
"No." Jiang Zhizhi raised the corner of her lips, "I just feel very happy."
"Happy? Happy about what?"
"I'm very happy to be with you." Her eyes became especially gentle.
For a thirty-year-old adult who has already matured mentally, an ordinary and warm daily life is the happiest thing.
Li Rongrong blushed a little when she looked at her, and raised her hand to scratch her head, "Zhizhi, you're really embarrassing me."

It took more than an hour to select the photos.
Xu Qingbo selected more than a dozen to print, and Jiang Zhizhi selected more than a hundred.
"Zhizhi, why are you printing so many? It costs two dollars to print one."
Nearly three hundred yuan is not a small amount of money for a junior high school student. Moreover, Li Rongrong knows that Jiang Zhizhi's family is not well off.
"I just want to preserve the memories. I've also put all the photos of us hanging out together in an album and kept them safe. Because... beautiful memories are the most precious."
Coming out of the photo studio, Jiang Zhizhi took two thick bags of photos with satisfaction.
Because they printed a lot of photos, Li Rongrong shamelessly took three for free: one photo of Jiang Zhizhi and Xu Qingbo, and two individual photos of the two.
As the sun sets, the Lantern Festival becomes more lively than during the day.
The streets are lined with vendors setting up stalls, and the sound of horns and shouts is endless.
"Zhizhi, there's a guy selling cotton candy over there. Do you want some?" Li Rongrong asked excitedly.
Before Jiang Zhizhi could answer, Lu Xiye walked past them with his hands in his pockets and said, "Eat, it's my treat."
"Oh, here comes a rich man, so we won't be polite!" Li Rongrong smiled and pulled Jiang Zhizhi to follow.
"Boss, I want three marshmallows." Lu Xiye said.
"Why three? There are four of us." Li Rongrong was puzzled.
Lu Xiye glanced at Xu Qingbo who was following behind Jiang Zhizhi, and said quietly, "Xu Qingbo wouldn't eat this kind of thing, right?"
"I don't like sweets, you guys eat them." Xu Qingbo didn't want to accept Lu Xiye's invitation, so he said in a light tone.
"See, I told you." Lu Xiye turned around and emphasized to the boss again, "Boss, I want three."
"I'm going to buy some popsicles." While they were waiting for the marshmallows, Xu Qingbo turned and went to the supermarket nearby.
When I came out of the supermarket, three marshmallows were just ready.
Xu Qingbo took four popsicles, gave one to Jiang Zhizhi and Li Rongrong, and handed the remaining one to Lu Xiye.
Lu Xiye felt like he was choked.
He didn't buy marshmallows for Xu Qingbo, but Xu Qingbo specially bought him popsicles.
Are you deliberately trying to show off in front of girls?
So hypocritical.
"I don't want it." He said disdainfully.
"Cola flavor, don't you like it?"
Xu Qingbo smiled faintly and put it in his hand despite his refusal.
When the thing fell into his hand, Lu Xiye subconsciously grabbed it.
When he reacted, Xu Qingbo had already turned around and started chatting and laughing with Li Rongrong and Jiang Zhizhi.
Damn it!
He angrily tore open the popsicle's packaging and took a vicious bite.

When they got on the bus, Jiang Zhizhi and Lu Xiye were the only ones left.
The two of them did not take the same bus as Li Rongrong and Xu Qingbo.
There were a lot of people on the bus, and it was crowded. Lu Xiye had finished his marshmallow, but Jiang Zhizhi hadn't taken a single bite of hers yet.
He watched her squeeze into the car while protecting the marshmallow in her hand, and couldn't help but reach out to grab it.
"I'll hold it for you."
He is tall, and after he lifts it up, it is almost impossible for others to touch it.
The two walked to the back, and Lu Xiye pulled the bracelet on the car and used his body to separate Jiang Zhizhi from the crowded crowd around her.
"Why don't you eat? Are you like Xu Qingbo and don't like sweets?"
Lu Xiye's tone was somewhat resentful.
She ate up all the popsicles that Xu Qingbo bought.
"Because it's cute." Jiang Zhizhi pointed at the rabbit-shaped cotton candy in Lu Xiye's hand and said with a smile, "It's a little rabbit."
"Rabbits are meant to be eaten." Lu Xiye said mercilessly.
Jiang Zhizhi was choked by his words. She lowered her head and held the handrail beside her, not knowing what to say.
Lu Xiye looked at her. They were squeezed by the crowd, and the two of them were almost touching each other. It seemed that it was the first time that he was so close to her. He could see the whorl of hair on her head when he lowered his head.
A little messy, but kind of cute.
"Have you learned how to take pictures?" Lu Xiye suddenly asked.
"Hmm?" Jiang Zhizhi looked up at him, not understanding what he meant by suddenly asking this.
Lu Xiye coughed lightly, his face flushed slightly, "I want to buy a camera too."
"If you want to buy it, just buy it."
"Then you go buy it with me."
"Me? Sure, when?"
Seeing that he seemed very interested, Jiang Zhizhi couldn't help but think of what Cheng Yuping had told her, that Lu Xiye had depression.
This doesn't look like depression...
"Right now."
The bus arrived at the stop and he grabbed Jiang Zhizhi and ran off the bus.
When they reached the intersection, he immediately hailed a taxi and took her in.
"Where are you going?"
"Let's go buy a camera. Just take us to a place where we can buy cameras." Lu Xiye was so excited that he seemed to be unable to wait.
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at her watch helplessly. "It's almost six o'clock. Isn't it too late?"
"It's not late. The Starlight Photography City in Jinhai District usually closes at nine o'clock." The driver said, stepped on the accelerator and drove out.
Jinhai District is not far from here, less than half an hour's drive away.
However, when we arrived at Starlight Photography City, it was already completely dark.
Lu Xiye didn't know much about cameras, so he asked the clerk to get the latest model with the best performance in the store.
The price was over 30,000 yuan, and he bought it with his credit card without blinking.
The whole process took less than ten minutes.
Jiang Zhizhi was shocked.
Coming out of the Starlight Photography City, Jiang Zhizhi looked at the heavy-looking SLR in Lu Xiye's hand and asked, "Do you know how to use a SLR?"
"I can't." Lu Xiye said as if it was a matter of course, "Don't you know how to do it?"
"I didn't know how to use a SLR, so Xu Qingbo taught me how to use a portable camera."
“…”
"Forget it, I've already bought it, just learn how to use it." Lu Xiye said lazily. Suddenly, he added: "I'm not asking you to learn from Xu Qingbo!"
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at him helplessly, "You bought the camera, so you should be the one learning how to use it, right?"
"I bought the camera to take pictures of myself, not for other people. Of course I want you to learn!"
After Lu Xiye finished speaking, he turned around and hung the SLR camera around Jiang Zhizhi's neck.
Jiang Zhizhi felt a sudden drop, "Ah... it's so heavy."
"Once you get used to it, you won't feel depressed anymore." Lu Xiye smiled frivolously.
Jiang Zhizhi had no choice but to pick up the camera with both hands. She pressed the switch as the clerk taught her when she was testing the camera just now, and pointed the lens at Lu Xiye at the moment.
Under the street light, he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a red basketball print and had a clean and simple crew cut. The dim light made his beautiful smiling eyes seem to be gilded.
There is no need to adjust any parameters, just the plain street background is enough to make him look so good.
Sure enough, she still liked those eyes very much...
Jiang Zhizhi naturally pressed the shutter button to capture this scene.
