Perhaps influenced by these two, Wen Mo could no longer suppress his anxiety and was eager to let others know that he was also a man with a girlfriend.
However, I also wondered if it would be a bit inappropriate to show my face?
After all, Lianbao seems to be quite famous in the first year of high school, especially as her ranking keeps rising. Last time, she even got first place in the grade in the quality inspection.
Fortunately, the ranking of this prestigious school in Linchuan only reached the top 50, and the rankings beyond that were kept confidential, which saved face for some students.
Although classmates would know a little bit about it.
"Would you like to take a picture?"
Xia Lian took out her phone from her pocket, seemingly already familiar with its functions. She quickly found the camera app and even cleverly added a beauty filter.
"Who told you about this beauty filter?" Wen Mo took the phone, both amused and exasperated. The beauty filter wasn't too heavy; it just had a few extra filters and whitening effects.
Fortunately, it's not the kind of filter that makes you look like you're wearing heavy makeup.
"Beauty filter?"
Xia Lian tilted her head, seemingly not quite understanding the word, only knowing that she looked a little strange in the picture on the screen.
"It's just to make you look better on the phone. I didn't expect you to use beauty filters now." Wen Mo fiddled with it for a while, then turned off the beauty filters, leaving only the whitening effect.
"That was done by Yin Tao."
"Oh, it was Yin Tao who did it. That girl is quite pretty, why does she insist on using beauty filters..."
Wen Mo muttered to himself, took out his phone to set up the light, and was about to take a picture when he noticed that Xia Lian was suddenly pouting and staring straight at him, her eyes completely expressionless.
"Lianbao, what... what happened to you?"
Wenmo held his phone up to his face and asked cautiously.
Anyone with eyes could see that the baby was angry. Although his expression didn't change, his puffed-out cheeks were like balloons, making it impossible for him to look away.
Xia Lian lowered her head, but her cheeks remained puffed out. After a while, she said dejectedly, "Wen Mo said that Yin Tao is very beautiful."
"..."
I understand.
You shouldn't compliment other girls on their looks.
I actually made a huge mistake!
Wen Mo slapped his forehead, then forced an awkward smile and knelt down in front of her to help smooth the hair from her forehead.
"Yin Tao is very beautiful, but you are even more beautiful, aren't you?"
"Wenmo is lying."
“I’m not lying to you.” Wen Mo shrugged and said with a smile, “Look, even Yin Tao has to use beauty filters when taking pictures, but you don’t even know what beauty filters are. Doesn’t that prove the truth?”
Although it's not good to talk badly about someone behind their back, the situation is special right now, so we can only ask Yin Tao to put up with it.
I hope she has no objections.
The two women are actually quite similar in appearance; they're both beauties, so what's there to argue about? Although, from Wenmo's subjective standpoint, she subconsciously felt that her own Lianbao was slightly better.
"No, you can't say bad things about me." Xia Lian shook her head.
"...So what do you want me to do?"
He's trying to please neither side.
"Forget it, let's focus on taking photos instead."
Wen Mo picked up the phone whose screen he had just adjusted, and under the light of another phone, sat on the sofa closer to Xia Lian's side.
Seemingly finding it a little strange, Xia Lian blinked and stared blankly at him.
"Look at the camera, it's not like this is the first time we've taken pictures." Wen Mo sighed and pinched her chin, turning her around to a different angle. "Okay, this pose is fine, just add a smile and it'll be perfect."
With Wen Mo's prompting, Xia Lian thought for a while, then awkwardly raised the corners of her mouth slightly, forcing a smile. However, when paired with her expressionless eyes, it didn't look like a smile a young girl should have at all. Instead, it looked like the sinister smile of a villain in a novel trash-talking the protagonist when he was defeated.
"Okay, you'd better stop laughing. Your laughter is making me nervous."
Wen Mo shivered, then raised his phone high, but then seemed to think the distance was a bit too far, so he smiled and hugged her head, bringing their heads together.
Several shots were taken in burst mode with a series of clicks.
"Come on, let's choose a photo."
Wenmo isn't very good at taking photos, but he has at least learned about the importance of lighting and posing through watching videos. However, the most important thing is the protagonist's appearance; without good looks, everything else is basically useless.
Most of the photos were quite good. Xia Lian's silly expression had a unique charm; she was very cute and innocent, like a little sister who could be easily tricked with candy.
"What a pity," Wen Mo suddenly sighed.
Xia Lian leaned closer to look at the photo, a look of curiosity appearing on her previously expressionless face.
"This is me."
"yes."
"This is Wenmer."
"Yes, I'm handsome, right?" Wen Mo narcissistically zoomed in on his face, wishing he could print out the photo and hang it in his room to look at every day. "It's just a little regrettable."
"What a pity?" Xia Lian looked up, not understanding what he was saying.
Wen Mo didn't explain. He found the photo editing page, added an emoji to the picture of her next to him, completely covering Xia Lian's face. Only Wen Mo, who was smiling gently, and Xia Lian's upper body were visible in the photo.
"It's covered up," Xia Lian said curiously, poking at her reflection on the screen.
Wen Mo shook his head helplessly, rubbed her head with his free hand, and then posted the photo on his WeChat Moments with Xia Lian as a witness, without any caption.
The last time I posted on WeChat Moments was to share a photo with Lianbao, but I blocked most people from seeing it.
This time it's different. Wenmo chose not to block anyone, wanting all his friends to guess what the photo meant!
Wow, Winmer has a girlfriend.
Wow! You're so smart!
And that's it. It was just to show off his girlfriend. Covering Lianbao's face was a way to protect her privacy. At least for now, he couldn't let her show her face, so he let everyone guess who his girlfriend was.
What if you guess right?
There's no reward even if you guess right, don't worry.
"I feel like my message list will be quite lively after I post this on WeChat Moments."
Wen Mo tossed his phone aside, grabbed Xia Lian, and pounced on her, pinning her to the sofa. Their chests pressed tightly together, the soft sofa bouncing as if waves were rising from it.
"I want to hug you for a while."
"hug?"
"Yes, this time I'll hug you without warning, so you can experience what it feels like to me."
Wen Mo smiled, closed his eyes, and gently patted her back with both hands.
Xia Lian seemed to have not expected this situation. The warmth she used to show when she took the initiative to hug him turned into clumsiness. Her whole body was a little stiff until she felt his heartbeat and then slowly hugged him back.
"hug."
The voice was very soft, just a response to his words, simply reaching his ears.
The phone, which had been tossed aside, kept ringing incessantly, its message list filled with red dots that almost burst the screen, constantly refreshing.
The two people on the sofa continued to embrace as if nothing had happened.
