Shen Yi stared at Xiao Shuzhen, somewhat dazed. Seeing this, Zhang Yong nudged Shen Yi's waist, causing him a sudden pain and bringing him back to his senses.
"Chen Yi, stop staring at her like that, or her boyfriend will come and beat you up!"
Shen Yi gave an awkward smile and was about to walk past Xiao Shuzhen with his two friends when A Fei looked at Shen Yi, stepped forward to stop them, and asked for help.
"Excuse me, could you do me a favor and take a picture of me and my girlfriend?"
Shen Yi wanted to refuse, but Xiao Shuzhen walked over, picked up A Fei's phone, looked at the photos she had taken of him, and her face immediately fell, clearly displeased.
"Afei, what kind of photos did you take of me? Look at my legs! They're clearly long, but you made them look so short. And what's wrong with my face? It looks so fat. You obviously don't know how to find the right angle. How am I supposed to post this on WeChat Moments?!"
Ah Fei joined in the act, looking quite aggrieved.
"Shuzhen, I'm not a photography student, but you've done a pretty good job taking these photos!"
"Hmph~"
Seeing this, Afei quickly begged Shen Yi and the others.
"Hey bro, it's fate that we met. How's your photography skills? Can you help me out?"
Shen Yi wanted to say it wasn't very good, but he gave A Fei a disdainful look.
Helping you woo a girl? Dream on!
Zhang Yong quickly stepped forward to promote Shen Yi.
"Dude, you wouldn't believe it, my brother here is a photography whiz. Look, we even brought professional equipment with us this time!"
After saying that, he went to rummage through Chen Yi's backpack, which displeased Chen Yi.
"What are you doing? Don't move!"
"Oh, come on, don't be shy!"
Unable to stop Zhang Yong's actions, Shen Yi took out his camera from his backpack.
"Look!"
Shen Yi really wanted to kick Zhang Yong over. He snatched the camera from Zhang Yong's hand and touched it affectionately.
Upon seeing this, Ah Fei's face was filled with joy.
"Dude, you're a pro! How about this: you take the photos for us, and we'll pay you, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi became furious. Did he look like someone who was short of money? He turned his gaze to Xiao Shuzhen, as if to say, "What kind of boyfriend do you have?"
Xiao Shuzhen, with keen insight, stepped forward, stopping Afei from speaking, and gave Shen Yi an apologetic look.
"I'm so sorry, he doesn't understand art and offended you. As for me, my photography skills are quite good, so naturally I'm stricter with the photos. There's a photo called 'Night Banquet' in the photography exhibition in Shanghai last month, which is my award-winning work!"
Upon hearing that "The Banquet" was directed by this woman, Shen Yi realized she wasn't the type of woman who was all looks and no brains, and his attitude immediately became humble.
"You are the cloud!"
Hsiao Shu-chen smiled gently.
"Cloud is my stage name, nice to meet you!"
Shen Yi instantly looked at Xiao Shuzhen with a gaze of admiration and praise, his eyes practically glued to her. A Fei, of course, noticed Shen Yi's expression and chuckled inwardly. Pretending to be oblivious, he said to Shen Yi...
"Hey bro, look how well my girlfriend and you two hit it off. You're here for tourism and hiking, and so are we. How about we team up and take some photos of each other? You take photos for us, and my girlfriend takes photos for you. That way, I won't seem impolite. What do you think?"
Zhang Yong looked at A Fei with a strange gaze, as if he were looking at an idiot. He thought to himself, "If I had a girlfriend like that, I would keep her hidden away. How could I be setting her up with someone? Isn't that just crazy?"
But Zhang Yong had no sympathy for A Fei. "Since he's so clueless, don't blame us for being impolite," Zhang Yong said slyly.
"I think it's great! Chen Bing and I don't know anything about photography, but it's nice to have two master photographers with us on this trip!"
Chen Bing quickly echoed this sentiment.
"Yeah, I think it's a good idea. When we're taking pictures, Yang Yong and I will be in charge of carrying the bags!"
After Chen Bing finished speaking, he quickly took off Shen Yi's backpack. At this moment, Shen Yi really hoped to travel with Xiao Shuzhen so that he could see her a few more times.
Xiao Shuzhen looked at Shen Yi, her eyes filled with a gentle light, and her smile was so charming that it made the surrounding scenery look even more beautiful. This smile immediately aroused Shen Yi's creative desire. He quickly opened the camera and took a picture of Xiao Shuzhen, capturing that beautiful smile in the camera.
Xiao Shuzhen remained calm inside, but feigned surprise.
Did you just take a picture of me? Can I see it?
Shen Yi glanced at A Fei sheepishly, only to see A Fei's equally surprised expression and desire to see the photos he had taken. He felt a sense of relief; he had been afraid A Fei would get angry and start a fight. So he handed the camera to Xiao Shuzhen.
"Look!"
Ah Fei also went over and, seeing the photos taken by the camera, couldn't help but admire them from the bottom of his heart.
"Dude, that was great filming! You're really amazing!"
Xiao Shuzhen nodded in satisfaction. Seeing the light in Shen Yi's eyes and the youthful smile he gave her, she immediately took a close-up photo of him.
Shen Yi was taken aback, then watched as Xiao Shuzhen smiled even more broadly. Xiao Shuzhen returned the camera to him, a barely perceptible blush on her face.
"Look at the photos. Would you like to travel with us?"
Shen Yi naturally noticed the fleeting blush that crossed his face. He took the camera with a smile on his lips and looked at the close-up shot that Xiao Shuzhen had taken of him.
I was so excited. The photos are absolutely fantastic. The composition, angle, lighting, and especially the light in her eyes are all captured perfectly. It's the light that shines in her eyes when she looks at her. Anyone who understands art can see the meaning behind that light.
Shen Yi blushed slightly, his gaze darting away from Xiao Shuzhen, and he spoke to A Fei in a deep voice,
"My name is Shen Yi, and these two are my friends, Zhang Yong and Chen Bing!"
Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Ah Fei smiled happily.
"My name is Afei, and my girlfriend's name is Xiao Shuzhen!"
Chen Bing and Zhang Yong stood by, grinning sheepishly, their laughter carrying a hint of mockery towards A Fei. A Fei naturally sensed this, but he pretended not to care, maintaining his persona as a naive and slow-witted playboy.
The two teams reached an agreement and went up the mountain together.
Meanwhile, Zhai Ming traveled all the way from Kyoto to Nanhua Middle School in Shanghai, bringing his three partners to meet their future investors.
Along the way, Zhai Ming left a message for Wu Youyou, saying that he would arrive at the entrance of Nanhua Middle School around 2 p.m.
After Zhai Ming arrived, he sent Wu Youyou another message to say that he had arrived.
At this time, Wu Youyou had just left home and replied to Zhai Ming's message.
Please wait a moment, it will take a little longer, see you in twenty minutes!
Wu Youyou was in a rush to attend Shi Zhan's tutoring class in the morning, so she hurriedly took a taxi home. Her mother wasn't home either. She went straight to her bedroom, picked out some jewelry, jade, and emeralds from her treasure box, put them in her schoolbag, and then hurriedly rushed back to school.
