Chapter 237 Group Photo Archive
Yu Li held the photo album above her head.
"Looking at every wonderful moment of our Director Qi from childhood to adulthood, your family must love you very much. So even through a static photo album, you can feel that overwhelming emotion."
Qi Chenyan squatted down behind his wife and took the headscarf from her hand to wipe his head.
"Should I explain the behind-the-scenes stories of these photos to Ms. Yu one by one?"
Yu Li turned around to face him, but pointed to the first photo first.
Is this your mother?
As far as Yu Li knew, Qi Chenyan's mother passed away not long after he was born.
However, the first photo in this album is of Qi Chenyan's mother holding him as an infant.
With her head bowed, her gaze gentle and tender, a ray of sunlight fell upon her, enveloping her in a unique, maternal glow.
Qi Chenyan hummed in agreement, and while drying his wife's hair at the lowest fan speed, he uttered six words in his melodious voice: "She is our mother."
A warm feeling welled up in Yu Li's heart. She suddenly took out her phone and snapped two photos of the picture.
"Qi Chenyan, let me show you a magic trick."
Yu Li held her phone up in front of him.
The photo, which was originally lifeless, has now come alive.
The mother in the photo is moving, speaking gently as she soothes the child in her arms, and the child seems to sense this, waving its little hand at its mother.
"This is the latest AI effect that can bring old photos to life. Doesn't it make your mother feel more real when you look at her like this?"
Qi Chenyan naturally knew his wife's purpose in doing so.
It was to make him happy.
He put down the hairdryer, wrapped his long arm around her waist, and lifted her up, placing her on his lap.
Yu Li was only slightly surprised at first, but then naturally placed her hands on the back of his neck.
"Actually, my mother is mostly just a name in my memory. If it weren't for these old photos, I wouldn't even remember what she looked like."
"But Lili, you showed me that a person should not be forgotten because of the passing of life, especially her own son, the greatest mother in the world."
Yu Li was a little embarrassed: "I'm not that good at it, I'm just using your talent to flatter you."
"No, Lili, you and your mother are both the greatest mothers in the world."
Qi Chenyan's large hand gently stroked her protruding belly. She was almost five months pregnant, and her belly already had a very obvious curve.
If she wears clothes that are even slightly tight, it will be immediately obvious that she is pregnant.
"Although my mother is gone, she filled the void in your life with these photos, unlike me, even though my biological parents are still alive."
"But in all my childhood memories, they were either arguing or blaming each other every day. At that time, I vaguely wondered why two people who didn't love each other would come together and have a child."
Speaking of the past, Yu Li's tone was sad, but more so it was a sense of relief: "Later they divorced, and I became the most superfluous one, but at the same time I am also very fortunate that they divorced, otherwise how could I have met my grandmother who loves me the most."
"Therefore, there is a saying that fortune and misfortune are interdependent. When you think you are in the darkest hour of your life, perhaps one day, things will suddenly take a turn for the better?"
Qi Chenyan gently put her down, then suddenly stood up and said, "Wait for me."
They were flirting, and he ran off somewhere. Didn't he realize that if he suddenly interrupted them when the atmosphere was just right, the atmosphere would change?
It wasn't until Qi Chenyan returned that Yu Li noticed he had a brand new Fujifilm Instax camera in his hand.
What are you doing with that Polaroid camera?
Qi Chenyan returned to her side and said, "I didn't think things through before. The period from when you got pregnant to when you gave birth is a very important process."
“Routine prenatal checkups are done by all pregnant women, but I want to leave my wife and our child with a very special keepsake.”
He said, "I want to record every happy moment we spend together."
"When our child is born in the future, there will be no quarrels or accusations in the world he lives in. He will feel that he has a very loving pair of parents and that he is the happiest child in the world."
Yu Li thought that there was no more beautiful love confession in the world than this.
"Let's make a heart shape with our hands, but remember to include my belly in the picture, so that it represents us and the baby in the same frame, making it a family photo of the three of us."
Qi Chenyan said okay, but he didn't quite understand what it meant to make a heart shape with your fingers.
Yu Li then demonstrated for him, "Like this, I raise my right hand, you raise your left hand, and then put your four fingers down and meet mine in the middle, that's right, Director Qi is great, you can learn it in one go."
Qi Chenyan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Our Miss Yu will definitely be a very patient and good mother in the future."
After all, no matter who she's dealing with, Yu Li's approach is primarily one of encouragement and guidance.
She would immediately shower the other person with praise after they did something right.
Even if the other party makes a mistake, she will not lose patience. Instead, she will use a more tactful and comforting approach that will not cause the other party to lose confidence and will achieve the final goal more efficiently.
"Whether as a mother, a wife, or a host, I'm amazing, okay?"
Qi Chenyan smiled warmly, "That's right, it's my fault. My words just now weren't comprehensive enough."
"As punishment, take a couple more photos. If they don't turn out well, I won't reimburse you for the photo paper."
Qi Chenyan's attitude was very sincere: "It's my problem, and I will take full responsibility. Miss Yu, please rest assured."
Yu Li smiled radiantly at the camera, displaying what she considered her most dazzling smile. However, just as Qi Chenyan was about to press the shutter button, he suddenly turned his head away.
He kissed her on the left cheek.
Accompanied by a cracking sound.
The moment was perfect, and it froze on this kissing photo.
Yu Li's face turned red, and she quickly spat out the photo.
Qi Chenyan glanced at it first, then handed it to his wife.
"The expression in the candid shot is very natural. Are you satisfied, Miss Yu?"
It was indeed very natural, because when Qi Chenyan suddenly leaned over and kissed her, he didn't say anything beforehand.
So when Yu Li faced the camera, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, sparkling, showing surprise, but more so genuine joy.
In fact, Yu Li was quite satisfied with the photo, but she felt she had to turn the tables.
"I'd give it a 99 out of 100. I'm deducting one point because you scared me just now. You almost took my first ugly photo ever."
