Chapter 35: Corny "I like the way you see me."
Lin Bubu smiled slightly. "It was originally a stage name, and later the name on my ID card was changed to Lin Bubu. Qiao Zheng guessed correctly, it's my stage name plus my real name."
Qiao Zhizheng and Li Tianyi asked curiously at the same time, "What was your name before?"
Lin Bubu smiled faintly and shook her head, "That name isn't nice. There's nothing to know about it."
"What's good or bad about a name? It all comes down to personal preference."
"That's right, Editor Lin, please tell me~"
Lin Bubu said, "Lin Zhaodi."
The moment the words fell, the smiles on Qiao Zhizheng and Li Tianyi's lips also fell.
Qiao Zhizheng and Li Tianyi: I really deserve to die!
Judging whether a name is nice or not is entirely up to personal subjective will, but the two words "Zhao Di" can instantly remind us of what this name represents, which is not what the owner of this name hopes for, but rather long-term indifference, endless demands, and countless sorrows.
Qiao Zhizheng opened her mouth awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Li Tianyi's face turned red, he wanted to say something but stopped, and wanted to say something again.
Lin Bubu, on the other hand, was the most normal of the three. She smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't look at me like that, you two. The name Zhaodi is part of my past, and it's not my fault. Just listen to it casually. Okay, anything else?"
Qiao Zhizheng and Li Tianyi immediately shook their heads, "No more."
Lin Bubu closed her eyes sleepily, "It's okay, I'll just continue sleeping... Zzzzz~"
Lin Bubu fell asleep immediately, and Qiao Zhizheng and Li Tianyi stopped causing trouble.
Qiao Zhizheng buried her head in Qiao Zheng's shoulder, the tips of her ears turned red.
Qiao Zheng laughed at her without any hesitation. She didn't laugh out loud, but her shaking shoulders revealed her emotions at the moment.
Qiao Zhizheng was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die, but she didn't look up. She kept thinking about all sorts of things in this position, and fell asleep unknowingly.
When Qiao Zhizheng woke up again, he was already on a long-tail boat. The bright sunlight spread across the water, dazzling his eyes with the ripples. Qiao Zhizheng raised her hand to block the light.
The next moment, a pair of sun-shielding sunglasses fell on Qiao Zhizheng's head. A beautiful white finger touched the nose pad, and the sunglasses fell steadily on Qiao Zhizheng's nose bridge.
For the first time, Qiao Zhizheng clearly felt the fingertips close to her. The fingertips were not as soft as she had imagined. Instead, they were covered with a thin layer of calluses. The calluses scraped across the tender skin between Qiao Zhizheng's eyebrows and passed through the root of her nose, leaving Qiao Zhizheng with only an uneasy shudder.
Qiao Zhizheng's mind was still not clear when she regained consciousness. She subconsciously grabbed Qiao Zheng's fingers, opened her soft lips, licked them with the tip of her tongue, and even wanted to put the finger that aroused the warmth in her heart between her teeth and gently bite and grind it.
Qiao Zheng pulled her hand back and frowned, "If your teeth itch, go buy a teething stick. Why are you biting me?"
Qiao Zhizheng pursed her lips tightly, secretly hating Qiao Zheng for being a piece of wood.
I was also angry at myself for not living up to my expectations and inadvertently revealing my true emotions.
I couldn't help but wonder, I think Qiao Zheng likes me, does she like me as much as I like her, or does she not like me as much as I like her.
Are we in love with each other, or is it just my wishful thinking?
Qiao Zhizheng couldn't think of an answer, her mind a mess of twine: "Humph!"
Qiao Zheng just thought she was a little grumpy after waking up.
"Wow~" Li Tianyi exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.
There were sixteen people in the crew, including ten people, the tour guide and the expedition team, sitting in three long-tail boats. Li Tianyi exclaimed in the boat to the left of Qiao Zhizheng.
"It's a pink pufferfish!"
On the golden water, a pink shadow approached the long-tail boat. From time to time, a pink pufferfish jumped out of the water, bringing up a string of crystal waves, drawing a half circle in the air and then splashing back into the water.
The pink pufferfish seemed to be used to seeing tourists and was not afraid at all. It was swimming and playing not far away. It held a piranha in its long snout, which was still wagging its tail vigorously, and looked at the people on the boat curiously.
The guide said in broken Chinese, "You can lure them over with the fresh fish in the boat."
Qiao Zhizheng was eager to try and wanted to call Qiao Zheng to join him, but Qiao Zheng was not interested in such things. He put on his sunglasses, closed his eyes, leaned back, folded his arms and prepared to rest.
Qiao Zhizheng shoved the camera into Qiao Zheng's hands, "Qiao Zheng, please take a picture of me and the pufferfish. This is the first time I've seen a pink pufferfish."
Qiao Zheng ignored her, so Qiao Zhizheng hugged Qiao Zheng's arm and shook it back and forth, "Please help me~"
Qiao Zheng frowned, "Speak properly!"
Qiao Zheng sat up straight and adjusted the camera parameters.
You see, Qiao Zheng is always like this, saying one thing and thinking another, saying no but doing things that make people happy.
Qiao Zhizheng looked at Qiao Zheng, her eyes tender and gentle as a flower.
Just before Qiao Zheng raised her eyes, Qiao Zhizheng looked away, grabbed a palm-sized fresh fish and waved towards the pufferfish.
There were also people on the two boats nearby catching fish to attract pufferfish.
"Click, click, click" Qiao Zheng turned into a ruthless photo-taking machine, pressing the shutter button continuously.
The quick movements made Qiao Zhizheng wonder if she was just going through the motions.
Qiao Zheng sneered: "Humph!"
The camera was thrown into Qiao Zhizheng's arms. After wiping the water droplets off her hands, Qiao Zhizheng flipped through the photos in the camera and found that every photo was taken very well.
Qiao Zhizheng said in surprise, "Qiao Zheng, have you learned this technique specifically? This is so well shot."
Qiao Zheng didn't answer, she just sat there, motionless. Qiao Zheng's eyes couldn't be seen under her sunglasses. Qiao Zhizheng guessed that Qiao Zheng must have fallen asleep.
As the boat sailed on the water, most of the sunlight leaked into the cabin from the shed, and golden gauze covered most of Qiao Zheng's body.
The sun was scorching, and Qiao Zheng moved, seeming to feel uncomfortable from the sun.
Qiao Zhizheng quickly moved over and sat next to her, spreading out the veil draped over her shoulders and raising her hand to block the sunlight for Qiao Zheng.
Qiao Zhizheng's figure blended into the dazzling sunlight.
Behind the sunglasses, a hint of confusion flashed in Qiao Zheng's eyes.
——Is it necessary for my relationship with her to reach this point?
At the moment when Qiao Zheng was in a trance, Qiao Zhizheng was observing the situation in the cabin. Wei Wu, who was on the same boat, was taking a video of the scenery outside the cabin. The tour guide was chatting with an expedition team member. Lin Bubu never woke up and slept so soundly that she didn't know what the world was.
Qiao Zhizheng looked outside and saw the other two boats some distance away.
Qiao Zhizheng took out his cell phone like a thief and took a picture of Qiao Zheng.
Qiao Zheng had no idea that she had seen all the sneaky actions of her dog.
Qiao Zheng was deeply confused, and an inexplicable intuition drove her to maintain the status quo.
The sunlight turned the crystal beads of sweat rolling down Qiao Zhizheng's forehead into bright golden beads.
Qiao Zheng pretended to turn over casually and uttered an indistinct mumble, her voice brewing with the tiredness of just waking up, "What are you doing?"
Qiao Zhizheng lowered her arms naturally. "What else can I do? Look at the scenery."
Qiao Zheng chuckled with an ambiguous tone and took the opportunity to drink some water to move a little further away from Qiao Zhizheng.
Qiao Zhizheng followed her movements and got closer to her.
Qiao Zheng tapped the nose pad of his sunglasses with his finger, and put the sunglasses on the tip of his nose. He looked at Qiao Zhizheng with complex and indistinguishable emotions in his eyes, as if he had thousands of words to say.
But Qiao Zhizheng couldn’t understand it.
Qiao Zhizheng tilted her head in confusion, "Huh?"
Qiao Zheng opened her mouth, but found she didn't know what to say.
A long, long sigh.
This sigh not only made Qiao Zhizheng more confused, but also woke up Lin Bubu.
Lin Bubu said dazedly, "Sigh, sigh, sigh, you've sighed away all my good fortune."
Qiao Zheng retorted bluntly, "Sleep, sleep, sleep. All the beautiful scenery is gone."
Lin Bubu and Qiao Zheng looked at each other with stern faces, and after a while, they turned their faces away at the same time and couldn't help laughing.
“Hahahahahaha…”
The laughter was mixed with the sound of the propeller turning, creating layers of ripples.
After passing through the trees that blocked out the sun, the long-tail boat came back from the small waterway to the wide surface of the Amazon River and slowed down.
The rainforest is rich in species and diverse, and even the butterflies are not the common ones in China.
Blue, green, orange, golden green, rainbow... butterflies of all colors flew out and danced around the slow-moving longtail boat, and colorful colors flowed before your eyes.
The orange-red flames of the setting sun flowed onto the river surface, and the butterfly wings were all warm honey color, as if you were in a fairy tale.
The group came ashore and took photos to commemorate this beautiful scene.
Tang Fengmian exclaimed, "No wonder Director Xia wanted to bring us to the rainforest. Only after we got here did we realize how beautiful the rainforest is!"
Xia Cangshu checked the photos in his camera, shook his head and laughed, "This isn't the most beautiful part of the rainforest. The most beautiful parts of the rainforest are those deep places where few people have set foot. There are many rare plants and animals and insects there. However, there are also many poisonous plants and animals."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhizheng continued, "Did Director Xia see it with his own eyes?"
Li Tianyi interrupted, "You don't know this, do you? Our Director Xia was a renowned National Geographic photographer before he became a director, and he's taken many renowned ecological photos around the world."
Qiao Zhizheng was filled with admiration, "Amazing! So amazing!"
Xia Cangshu looked around and said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "What? Has this become my personal show-off? Come and take a look, all the beautiful ladies and handsome guys. Are you satisfied with the photos I took of you?"
"It's an honor, a great honor, to have the exclusive photo shoot by Xia Da Photographer. It's a great honor!"
"Stop praising me, stop praising me. If you continue praising me, I won't have to take the boat back."
"Then how do we get back?"
"You guys are blowing so high, I have to float back."
"Ha ha ha ha………"
Amidst the laughter and cheers, Qiao Zhizheng tugged at Qiao Zheng's sleeve and whispered to her, "Director Xia shot it very well, but in my heart, yours is the best."
Qiao Zheng looked puzzled. "Why are you telling me this?"
Qiao Zhizheng's tone was as sweet as honey, "Because—what you filmed is how you see me."
"I like the way you see me."
Qiao Zheng said "Oh" lightly, and the moment she turned around, the expression on her face seemed to be a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty. She frowned, and was deeply offended by Qiao Zhizheng's words.
——Qiao Zhizheng! What on earth are you trying to do with this weird thing?

The author has something to say: Sister Qiao: I trust my intuition very much!
Hahahaha, I suddenly remembered that it was also chapter 35. At this time, the protagonists of my other completed work were almost together, but the two protagonists of this book just had some signs of love. The magical thing is that I only found out after I finished writing this chapter that butterflies were mentioned. It's amazing [Come on][Come on][Come on]
