Long Time Loved Friend - Chapter 8
In order to take care of Yu Mingxia, Yun Zhi slowed down on purpose. It took her half an hour to go up the mountain, but it took an hour.
After walking the 99 steps, you will see the forests on both sides of the trail, and at the end of the trail is the Spruce Temple.
It will be near noon and the sun will be shining brightly, and all the people who come to play will walk on both sides of the trail, hiding in the shade of the trees to shelter from the scorching sun.
Seeing this, Yun Zhi also pulled Yu Mingxia to the right side of the path.
Under the woods, there are not only blocks of shadows that allow people to avoid the sun, but also spots of sunlight projected on the ground through the gaps in the woods. Pedestrians step on the shadows, and there are fine pieces of sunlight falling on their hair tips.
Pedestrians are like this, so is Yu Mingxia.
“Crack—”
Yu Mingxia was still feeling lost because of the loss of temperature in his wrist, when he heard the sound of the shutter.
Looking up again, Yun Zhi’s face full of smiles greeted her eyes, the corners of her lips were raised, she tapped the shutter button of the camera lightly with her fingers, and said to her with a smile, “I took another very good picture for you.” Nice photo.”
Yun Zhi didn’t notice Yu Mingxia’s abnormality, so he walked a few steps forward after speaking, and took two pictures of pedestrians walking through the woods from an angle.
After taking a satisfactory picture, Yun Zhicai turned to look at Yu Mingxia again.
However, he saw that the other party had been staying in the position just now, without moving half a step.
“Crack—”
If you don’t take a photo, you don’t take a photo, Yun Zhi pressed the shutter on Yu Mingxia again.
“I found that you are very photogenic, no matter how you take pictures, you look good.” Yun Zhi flipped through the pictures and returned to Yu Mingxia.
When turning to the picture in the morning, Yunzhi handed the camera to her so that she could see the picture on it.
“I forgot to tell you, I took pictures in the morning.”
Yu Mingxia glanced down at the camera, paused, and then stated the facts: “You secretly filmed me.”
“?” Yun Zhi raised his eyes and blinked innocently, “How can this be called a sneak shot, obviously you broke into my world.”
Yun Zhi tried to quibble, she didn’t take pictures secretly, how could she be the kind of person who took pictures secretly.
After saying this, Yun Zhi saw Yu Mingxia nodded and took a few steps forward.
I don’t know whether I believed her words or not.
Yun Zhi grabbed her, looked into her eyes, and began to fool around:
“And, we’re friends, right?”
Yu Mingxia didn’t understand why, so he nodded: “Yes.”
“I’m a photographer by profession. Is it wrong to record beautiful things?”
“That’s right.”
“Are you afraid of being photographed because you look so good-looking?”
“Not afraid.”
“So, I’m not taking a sneak shot, I’m discovering the beauty and recording the beauty. You should thank me, right?”
“Yeah right.”
The question and answer were very cooperative throughout the whole process. If Yu Mingxia didn’t laugh at the last answer, Yun Zhi would be even more moved.
“Puchi—”
For some reason, Yu Mingxia laughed again after the Q&A session ended.
Yun Zhi frowned: “What are you doing?”
“Do you still have a side job?” Yu Mingxia smiled, “Master Huyou.”
Yun Zhi, who was going to seriously think about her first question: “?”
After a while, seeing her laughing non-stop, Yun Zhicai gritted his teeth and held up the camera and pressed the shutter several times, regardless of the effect.
“You wait until the time comes when I will send you ugly photos.”
“It can’t be ugly.” Yu Mingxia said leisurely.
A question mark appeared above Yun Zhi’s head again, is he so narcissistic?
Yu Mingxia smiled and asked, “We are friends, right?”
Yun Zhi wanted to see what nonsense she could come up with, so he nodded, “Yes.”
“Are you ugly?”
“Not ugly.”
“You took pictures of me because I look good, right?”
“Yes.” Yun Zhi felt that he seemed to have fallen into a trap.
“Is your aesthetic level number one in the world?”
“Yeah… ah, it’s not number one in the world.”
“As your friend, you, who has the world’s best aesthetic level, can’t be ugly, right?”
“…ah yes.”
Yun Zhi felt as if he had been flattered.
But her praise seemed to come from the heart, every word she said, especially when it came to the exaggerated words that she was number one in the aesthetic world, Yu Mingxia’s eyes were full of sincerity.
“Let’s hold a class together some other day, on how to become a master of deception.”
After a while, Yun Zhi swallowed and muttered a suggestion.
Yu Mingxia nodded and smiled lightly: “Yeah, good.”
Holding the camera, Yun Zhi walked forward, muttering in a low voice, “I never thought you were such Yu Mingxia.”
Skillful tongue, drawing inferences from one instance, using strength to fight strength.
Even though he said such words, there was no unhappiness or disgust on his face.
Even when he was walking, he still kept a certain distance from her, and the skirt was just close to her.
Yu Mingxia pursed her lips. In fact, she never thought that Yun Zhi and his friends would get along so well.
She can imagine how happy it is to be able to be her friend all these years.
Through the woods, the two came to the stone steps of the Yunshan Temple gate.
“Let me take a picture for you.” Yu Mingxia stopped walking and said suddenly.
Yunzhi raised his head and glanced at the plaque of Yunshan Temple, it looked a little old, and he could feel the traces of history.
“Can you use a camera?” Yun Zhi asked.
“I learned a little before, so I should be able to.” Yu Mingxia raised his hand to take the camera she handed over.
When adjusting the focus, Yu Mingxia paused with his fingers, and asked casually, “Don’t you photographers generally dislike other people touching your cameras?”
There were three or two green leaves blown down by the wind from the forest not far away on the steps. Yun Zhi knelt down and picked one up, and said casually, “I have this habit, but you are not someone else.”
Yu Mingxia raised his eyes, his eyes froze.
Yun Zhi stood up, tried to pose with the leaves, covered his left eye, and said, “You are my friend.”
Yun Zhi has always been generous to her friends, she took the camera as soon as she took it, and the other party would not leave her sight, so there was nothing to care about.
To Yun Zhi, a casual sentence was like candied fruit to Yu Mingxia, which gave her a sense of reality.
She and Yunzhi really became friends.
“Let’s shoot.”
Yunzhi in the lens is fresh, energetic, beautiful and generous, and it will be a very good-looking photo.
In a daze, Yu Mingxia pressed the shutter button.
“I don’t use the camera very well, can I take pictures for you with my mobile phone?” Yu Mingxia asked in a low voice.
The camera has to find the angle by itself, as well as the light and shadow, which is indeed much more troublesome than that of the mobile phone, and the pictures are not necessarily good-looking.
Yun Zhi saw Yu Mingxia’s embarrassment, and nodded with a smile: “It’s better to use the original camera, it’s more convenient to edit pictures.”
After Yu Mingxia took several photos, Yun Zhi finally realized that she didn’t give Yu Mingxia a cell phone just now, it was Yu Mingxia who took the photo for her with his cell phone.
“You squat down and take another picture?” Yu Mingxia asked.
Yun Zhi thought about it later, so he just nodded.
After taking the photo, Yun Zhi just wanted to talk about the photo when he heard Yu Mingxia take the initiative to say: “Send the photo to you as the original or after I edit it?”
“Can you edit pictures?”
Yun Zhi had never asked about Yu Mingxia’s work before, so he couldn’t help but want to ask a few more questions.
“I forgot to introduce. My job is a designer. I can use basic photo editing software. Although it may not be as good as your photo editing, I will try my best.”
Yu Mingxia’s words were sincere, and Yun Zhi also became curious about her, and said with a smile, “Then please help me fix it.”
“Why bother, you already look good, I just adjust the color.”
Yun Zhi felt that these words were very familiar, and after thinking about it, couldn’t it be what she said to Yu Mingxia when they met in the suburbs.
She couldn’t help chuckling.
“But I guessed right.”
“what?”
“You really have a paintbrush.”
“How did you guess that?”
“I have a friend…” Yun Zhi suddenly paused when he said this, thinking that Nan Qiao’s joyful mood would instantly cool down, but being looked at by Yu Mingxia, he had no choice but to continue, “It’s a painter. It’s a kind of people.”
Yu Mingxia noticed Yunzhi’s pause, and Nan Qiao was the only one who could change her mood so much.
It turned out that Yunzhi was really having a bad time.
She always thought that the two of them were already together, they were together when they were young, they were in love with each other, and they should be together when they were adults.
Until she heard someone say that the two had never been together, it was Yun Zhi’s unrequited love.
How ridiculous.
Why did Nan Qiao warn her in high school?
“I majored in finance and minored in design in college.” I’m not the same as your friend.
The rest of the words were swallowed by Yu Mingxia, she clearly knew that in Yun Zhi’s heart, she could not defeat Nan Qiao.
Yun Zhi was stunned, and immediately put Nan Qiao’s matter behind him, and asked, “Is it so powerful?”
“Well, originally these two majors in our school could not be taken together, but I am better.”
Seeing that the topic was changed, Yu Mingxia felt better.
Yun Zhi vaguely felt that he had met a very powerful person.
It is not uncommon to have double degrees in universities, but when everything is placed on Yu Mingxia, Yun Zhi will feel that Yu Mingxia must be far more powerful than this.
but…
“I won the gold medal in photography after graduating from high school, and I have also won an international award. I am also very good.”
Yu Mingxia smiled, nodded in agreement and praised her.
“So it’s not a loss for you to be my friend, and we can be regarded as…” Yun Zhi bit his lip and thought about it seriously, and found an idiom that could barely express her meaning, “The right family is right…?”
“Puchi—” Yu Mingxia couldn’t hold back.
At this moment, Yun Zhi felt that the weather was getting hotter, and her face was very hot. She just said some idiom, but she couldn’t take it back, so she muttered and explained: “You can understand what I mean, as long as you are laughing.”
“How can you be so cute.” Yu Mingxia couldn’t hold back, and regardless of the previous shyness, he stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, and the soft hair was a little messy under her palm.
Yun Zhimu raised his hand and touched his head in a daze, and when he straightened his hair and then looked at Yu Mingxia, she had already run into the Yunshan Temple.
With hindsight, she realized that she might have been deceived by Yu Mingxia’s gentle appearance.
When Yun Zhi caught up with Yu Mingxia, he was standing under the century-old tree in the center of the temple, looking up at the red ribbon with wishes written on the branch.
There are many people standing under the century-old tree, clasping their hands together to make wishes, and those hanging red ribbons. They are noisy, and there is also the faint sound of wooden fish knocking in the temple and the calls of insects and birds in nature.
The people under the tree looked very pious, and they were all making the wishes they hoped to come true.
Yu Mingxia…does she also have a wish to come true?
Yun Zhi lowered his eyes and adjusted the camera, then recorded the scene.
After the photo was taken, it was discovered that no matter where her angle was, Yu Mingxia was the most conspicuous and the most eye-catching existence that could be seen at a glance.
“What are you laughing at?” Yu Mingxia had already walked to her side at some point.
Yun Zhi put away the camera in his hand and smiled: “It’s nothing.”
“Want to make a wish?” Yu Mingxia spread out his palm towards her, two red ribbons lay flat on her palm.
The red ribbon is made of silk, and there are gold threads around it, which looks very delicate.
Yun Zhi thought for a while, then shook his head: “No, I don’t have any wishes to make.”
“Think again?” Yu Mingxia asked.
Yun Zhi still shook his head, unwilling to say more, just said: “You can make the wish you want.”
Yu Mingxia lowered his eyes: “I don’t believe this.”
Saying this, while wrapping the red ribbon around her fingertips, she raised her eyes and said, “I’ll give it to you, it’s very pretty.”
Yun Zhi let out an ah, and when she looked up again, Yu Mingxia had already touched her wrist with the red ribbon.
Yu Mingxia, who tied the red ribbon for her with downcast eyes, has gentle eyebrows, long and curly eyelashes, fair and smooth skin, reminding Yun Zhi of the boiled egg he ate when he set off in the morning.
Yunzhi’s wrists are very thin, and the red ribbon had to be wound twice before being tied with a suitable bow.
“Quite good looking.”
When Yu Mingxia let go of her wrist, Yunzhi raised his hand to look at the sun, and the golden thread was shining under the sun.
“Tie it on too.” Yun Zhi urged her.
Such a beautiful red ribbon, she does not allow her friends not to tie it.
Yu Mingxia was stunned, and raised his hand in embarrassment.
“Ah, it’s not easy to tie, is it? I’ll help you.” Yun Zhi understood, handed her the camera, then raised his hand to take the red ribbon, and helped her tie a beautiful bow on her wrist.
Yun Zhi didn’t pay much attention to this matter, after all, she and her friends often gave each other similar things when they were playing together.
Yun Zhi has always been sincere in his dealings with friends who fall in love with him.
Only Yu Mingxia clutched his wrist, secretly happy in his heart.
“No.” Yunzhi, who was playing with the red ribbon, suddenly thought of something, and asked her doubtfully, “Why did you come to Yunshan Temple if you don’t believe this?”
As far as she knew, many people who came to this temple came to make wishes. Since Yu Mingxia didn’t believe in these things, why did they come?
