In mid-May, a row of gardenias planted in front of the school library emitted a fragrance that could be smelled from several meters away. From a distance, clusters of white flowers dotted the green landscape.
Nearby were students dressed in black graduation gowns, in small groups of two or three.
During graduation season, senior students collectively wear distinctive outfits and gather in various parts of the campus to take graduation photos in the past few weeks. Students who are interning outside the campus have also returned to school, wearing high heels and leather shoes, showing the maturity of someone just leaving campus.
Every now and then, cheers would break the silence, a moment of relief as the long yet fleeting student days came to an end.
On the small lawn between the Japanese and Chinese Department buildings, several people were holding up cameras.
"Xiang Yang, you better be serious and look at the camera." Wen Yanyan, who was holding a camera, suddenly put her hand down and looked at Xiang Yang, who was standing not far away with a sullen face, with a hint of anger.
"Don't look to the side."
"Control your facial expression, your smile faltered just now, let's do it again."
"Someone accidentally walked into the frame just now, let's take another one."
"One more."
......
"Yan Yan, that's enough." Xiang Yang leaned against the tree trunk beside him, a crack appearing on his face.
He has been standing for almost half an hour now, and Yan Yan is not satisfied with any of the photos, so she keeps reshooting them.
He walked over quickly and stood next to Wen Yanyan.
The girl's petite figure appeared even more delicate next to the tall Xiang Yang. "Come and take a look for yourself. Do you think every single one of them has a problem? How am I supposed to develop them like this?"
He rubbed Wen Yanyan's cheeks, which were red from the sun, with a helpless expression. "Okay, okay, it's my graduation, right? Why are you so excited?"
"You only graduate from university once in a lifetime, of course you should be excited and take it seriously." She waved her hand away from her face and continued looking at the hundreds of photos she had just taken, becoming more and more dissatisfied with them.
"No, you need to find another spot. The lighting wasn't good in that place."
Xiang Yang shrugged and obediently walked to the area designated by his girlfriend.
On the other side, there was a stark contrast of tranquility.
A man and a woman sat leisurely on the lawn, watching two people fussing around not far away, and couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Xiang Yang and Wen Yanyan are both very lively people, and they only get more intense when they're together. There's never a quiet moment when you're with them.
"Why don't you take one too?" Su Xun turned her head to look at Pei Ke, who was sitting lazily. Everyone else was excited about graduating and wanted to take photos in every corner of the campus, but this person was even more calm than her.
"Two photos have already been taken."
He likes photography, but he doesn't like photographing people, and he especially doesn't like photographing himself.
After the class finished taking their graduation photo, Su Xun pulled him aside to take a few pictures.
"Let me take the picture for you," he suddenly suggested. Today, Su Xun was wearing a light-colored dress that reached her ankles, which matched the strong graduation atmosphere on campus.
He doesn't like taking pictures of people, but he has saved many photos of Su Xun. He likes to save small moments from her life and then slowly edit and adjust the lighting.
"No, I don't really want to move." The morning sun was shining on me, making my bones feel soft and my whole body feel lazy.
"Su Xun, you two come over here too, let's take a picture together as a group of four." Wen Yanyan shouted loudly to them, while Xiang Yang waved from the side.
"Let's go over there." Su Xun moved his feet, preparing to get up.
"good."
The two got up together and walked over.
Wen Yanyan asked a passerby to take a picture for her.
The four people stood together, in pairs, with a large patch of white gardenias behind them, still covered with morning dew, and soft green grass under their feet.
They were frozen in this beautiful moment.
