Chapter 205 You Know
Since you claim to be a professional photographer, why would you only carry a mirrorless camera with you when you go out?
A small three-inch mini Polaroid camera hissed out a white film from its outlet. He Miao covered it with his hand, desperately stalling for time before it developed. "Good things are never too late. I have a feeling this one will be amazing. It'll be perfect for either a wallet or a small photo frame. Wait a moment, wait a moment..."
Having witnessed the old wizard delete the film and apologize, she immediately chose the target of her sales pitch and went straight to the human princess under the wings of the evil dragon. After paying tribute with both hands, she dragged Lin Lang, who had come to join in the fun, away with her trailer.
Su Xia watched them for a while, and when she turned back, the Polaroid camera in her hand had already been moved to the ground.
She stood on tiptoe to look and saw the photo lying in the boy's broad palm.
On a backlit winter afternoon, the red walls and green trees in the distance blurred into the background, and the tourists were like stardust. Only a pair of lovers in the near distance were as clear as ever:
That was the moment she kissed him, with smiles on her lips and eyes. Xu Jiqing looked down at her. Her icy face, which was not very good at expressing emotions, could be defeated by a little surprise, and her earlobes were red.
It was really well shot.
It’s not just about where you and I walked on a certain day of a certain year.
But at a certain moment in the long years, you and I were so young, you said nothing, but it seemed that you loved me more than you thought.
After looking at him in the photo, Su Xia turned away from the screen and poked his ear through her gloves. "Are you cold or shy?"
"It's frozen." Xu Jiqing said.
She said, "Then give it back to me. You wanted to destroy it anyway. Good things need to be cherished. How can I live the same life with everyone?"
Su Xia reached out to take it, but couldn't pull it out. Xu Jiqing even turned sideways and raised his arm like a childish boy in a middle school class, causing her to jump around in vain several times.
“I didn’t intend to destroy it.”
Xu Jiqing hugged her from behind, preventing her from moving. After saying that, he couldn't help but lower his eyes to look at her, as if he was holding some rare treasure.
He likes it very much.
She wanted to put it in her wallet immediately, place it side by side with the transportation card with her high school photo on it, and take it out to admire it from time to time.
Even if he looks lost in the picture and it’s not what he wants to show to others, it doesn’t matter.
Because the answer was certain, confirming that she loved him no longer made him anxious. Instead, it was like touching a flower or a kitten's chin, so light, yet so warm that it made him addicted, as if it was about to overflow from his chest.
"Give me the photo."
His tone was very serious, and his fingers were placed very cautiously on the frame of the Polaroid camera, not even touching it, like a good child who had never asked for anything before.
Su Xia's heart softened, and she took out her phone from her pocket, "Then I'll take a photo and keep a digital copy."
After taking both horizontal and vertical shots, she was still picking the best one, adjusting the lighting and atmosphere to change the background picture for her Moments. Xu Jiqing had already put the things back into the inner pocket of her jacket, zipped it up, and finally felt relieved as she put her arms back together.
Su Xia glanced at him and said, "Sir, the security situation in this city is pretty good. It's okay to lower your awareness of theft prevention."
"I'm afraid you'll regret it." Xu Jiqing's grip tightened a little.
So childish.
Some people seem to have high attack and defense, but what they are defending is a gummy bear.
The clothes were too thick in winter, and Su Xia was a little breathless in his embrace, so she twisted her body and struggled to get out.
She quickly set a new background and was about to log out of WeChat when her fingertips swiped across the screen. A dozen or so notifications popped up on her refreshed Moments. The moment she clicked on them, she was struck by the first line of small text:
[Sister Juan liked your cover]
From the time she registered her WeChat account until now, Su Xiaojuan's profile picture has always been a close-up photo of Su Xia as a child holding a marshmallow at the entrance of the amusement park, with her little round face smiling, which has never changed.
Xu Jiqing lowered his eyes and looked over.
It was hard to describe what kind of feeling he was in. He paused for a few seconds before returning to his usual calm tone, "I thought... Auntie didn't want to see me so much."
Even though she had pushed him away harshly, Su Xia's mother was essentially a good person.
Last time, he overestimated his own abilities and forced his meager family assets over without any prior notice, hastily trying to get a chance to stand beside Su Xia.
He did not understand the dignity of a noble family. Looking back on it later, he felt that it was impolite, like a landlord throwing inferior gems into the palace, overestimating his own abilities and trying to exchange them for the only pearl in the world.
She was willing to care about him in private and ask if his old injury had healed. This was because she was kind-hearted and had nothing to do with whether she approved of him or not.
"You think it's useless, but I think it's useful," Su Xia happily took a screenshot and prepared to take it to Su Xiaojuan to press the issue. "My mother and I have known each other for over 20 years."
"Apart from everything else, she just likes handsome guys."
She leaned back against his shoulder, nuzzling her cheek against his, "And something that can make me happy."
Xu Jiqing felt itchy from her rubbing and promised in a low voice, "Then I will try my best."
Su Xia was surprised, "How much harder do you want to work?"
In total, he had two subjects and scored 100 points, far ahead of the competition.
Xu Jiqing changed his stance to holding her hand with one hand, freeing up his other hand to pull over the ice bike parked nearby. He tied her sled neatly to the back of the bike with a hemp rope, stepped on it to tighten it, and said, "I'll take you for a ride."
"Didn't you want to be faster than Xu Jiaojiao?"
"That's not good," Su Xia said modestly, even though his body was already stirring. "You are Jiaojiao's brother, and you just switched sides to my side. How sad the child must be."
"Her brother is off work."
Su Xia pursed her lips and suppressed a smile, "Then why don't you go home?"
In the warm light of the afternoon, Xu Jiqing's light-colored eyes were reflected clearly, and they looked icy cold.
Perhaps he remembered something, but he raised his thin lips slightly. Su Xia's heartbeat began to get out of control again, and then he lowered his eyes and looked at her and spoke.
"Your husband hasn't yet."
-
Your husband.
It's just three words, how could the destructive power be so huge?
Su Xia had been teased by He Miao like this countless times. Even she herself seemed to have gotten used to using it on certain nights when hormone secretion was too high, and she talked nonsense with netizens. She thought she had been desensitized a long time ago, but she still underestimated the power of this sentence when it came out of Xu Jiqing's mouth.
He must have seen her messages...
Is being a husband also a talent?
Otherwise, how could he use such a self-proclaimed term so naturally and clearly, making her feel a little dizzy. She briefly gave up her grand ambitions for two seconds and just wanted to stick to him like this.
As night fell, everyone checked into the Universal Hotel and drove to the nearest mutton hotpot restaurant to recharge their energy for tomorrow's day of running.
Steam rose from the copper pot, and fresh-cut meat, stir-fried tripe, lamb ribs and sesame sauce pancakes were placed on plates. Xu Jiqing was looking after Su Xia's plate. There was no movement when the meat was brought to her, and she didn't act deliberately. Every time she looked up, her plate was full, never empty from beginning to end.
He Miao, who was sitting diagonally opposite, was stunned. He lowered his hand silently to the table and gave a thumbs up.
Su Xia clasped her fists in return and looked at Xu Jiaojiao who was gnawing on lamb skewers alone beside her, thinking to herself that your brother is also very tired after get off work and is not idle at all.
The phone screen lit up, and a friend's sigh arrived at the right moment: […I'm beginning to understand the charm of Xu Shen beyond his face and brains.]
[Your Majesty, you have good vision, considering you can take care of people to this extent.]
Su Xia's cheeks were a little tired from eating, and she sipped her chrysanthemum tea and said modestly, "It's okay."
Some people can't live without classes, they're working emperors.
He Miao: [What class, you babysit? ]
Su Xia holds her face up, her fingertips tapping on the keyboard, and every word flies out a pink little heart, [my husband]
He Miao: [……]
As if she didn't say okay.
The next morning, with the double bonus of early admission to the hotel in the park and the Premium Express Pass, the group had visited all the major projects before lunch time. In the afternoon, apart from a few interactive performances and a Minions meet-and-greet selected by Xu Jiaojiao, the group had a leisurely time to review the projects and take photos.
The little girl was originally lively, and with Lin Lang and He Miao's noisy chatter, the atmosphere was brought to its maximum.
Whether it was the lifelike Transformers battle or the cement dinosaurs that kindergarten children would hardly be scared of, they all screamed in unison, which made Chen Zhiheng so immersed in it that he shouted along for no apparent reason.
