Cry louder, I can't hear you.

Time was of the essence; the male protagonist, Chi Zhou, would arrive in three minutes.

Yun Qiao didn't care about anything else and pulled Shen Shiyu, who was taking pictures with others, over and pushed her next to Cheng Xichi.

"Shall I take a picture of you two together?"

Shen Shiyu lost her balance and fell into Cheng Xichi's arms.

Cheng Xichi instinctively steadied her, and the two of them, just regaining their balance and feeling awkward, heard Yun Qiao's words and exclaimed in unison, "Huh?"

Cheng Xi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.

Yun Qiao interrupted, "Come closer, you've been classmates for four years, don't be so distant."

Shen Shiyu was puzzled by Yun Qiao's inexplicable actions.

Cheng Xichi didn't move either, looking at Yun Qiao with a complicated expression:

"You're in our group too, why don't we film together?"

"We'll take the group photo later; let's take a few pictures in pairs first."

Cheng Xichi was about to say something, but then, as if remembering something, he changed his tone:

"Okay, then I'll take a picture with Shiyu first."

Yun Qiao was very satisfied with Cheng Xichi's cooperation. She raised her eyebrows at him meaningfully, implying that "sister will help you."

Cheng Xichi was taken aback, not understanding what Yun Qiao meant, when he heard her speak:

"You two move closer, you're too far apart. Shiyu, why don't you put your arm around Cheng Xichi's arm?"

Shen Shiyu was shocked: "W-Wait, isn't that unnecessary? We can just stand together and take the picture."

They weren't even that close classmates, and the other person was a guy, so why did Yun Qiao let her hug Cheng Xichi?

Cheng Xichi also looked resistant: "It's fine to just stand together for the photo."

Chi Zhou was less than a minute away from arriving at the scene.

Yun Qiao was a little anxious.

She put down her phone, pulled Shen Shiyu aside, and whispered in her ear:

"Can you help me, Shiyu? I like Cheng Xichi. I want to take a picture with him later, and I want to hug him, but I'm too scared. So, if you hug me too, it won't be too awkward when it's my turn."

Shen Shiyu was shocked: "You...you like..."

Yun Qiao covered her mouth, preventing her from making a sound that Cheng Xichi, who was not far away, could hear, and only gave her a pleading look.

Although Shen Shiyu wasn't very bright, she was truly loyal, and she immediately nodded:

"Okay, I'll definitely help you!"

Shen Shiyu walked back and looked at Cheng Xichi:

"Cheng, we're all friends, is it okay if I put my arm around you for the photo?"

Cheng Xi hesitated and subconsciously glanced at Yun Qiao.

Yun Qiao was extremely anxious. What was wrong with this person?

She helped him along the way, so why not take advantage of the situation and not act all coy?

Chi Zhou will arrive at the scene in half a minute.

Yun Qiao was at her wit's end. Ignoring her unfamiliarity with Cheng Xichi, she ran over and pulled him aside.

"I told her that everyone takes photos in this pose, and I'll take photos like this with you later. Don't worry, she won't find out your feelings."

"What's in your heart?"

As soon as he finished asking, Cheng Xichi realized what he had said before, "You mean you'll wait a bit—"

"Yes, yes, I'm in a bit of a rush, let's take the picture quickly."

Yun Qiao wanted to kneel down before this guy.

She held up her phone and urged the two of them to hurry up.

"Come closer, be more intimate, Cheng Xichi, put your arm around Shiyu's shoulder."

[Host, Chi Zhou has arrived. He is now ten meters to your right rear.]

System launch notification.

Yun Qiao didn't look back, focusing only on taking pictures of Shen Shiyu and Cheng Xichi.

Although the two still looked awkward, fortunately, after Yun Qiao's persuasion, they actually listened to her. Shen Shiyu hugged Cheng Xichi's arm, and the two acted "intimately," making it seem like there was really something going on.

To make it easier for Chi Zhou to see, Yun Qiao deliberately took photos very slowly.

Then he loudly teased:

"They're such a perfect couple, I'm so jealous! It's a shame we've both graduated and I still haven't found a boyfriend as outstanding as him."

Shen Shiyu looked embarrassed, but didn't think much of it, assuming that Yun Qiao liked Cheng Xichi and was saying that on purpose to hint at Cheng Xichi.

So she chimed in:

"It's okay, maybe we'll find it today."

Shen Shiyu glanced at Yun Qiao, then looked meaningfully at Cheng Xichi.

Cheng Xichi blushed because of Yun Qiao's words, and asked somewhat awkwardly:

"Are you done taking pictures?"

[System, is Chi Zhou still online?]

The system replied a few seconds later: [Just left, host. Well done.]

Yun Qiao breathed a sigh of relief before replying to Cheng Xichi:

"Finished taking the picture."

[Host, you need to intercept Chi Zhou now; he's heading to the airport.]

Yun Qiao was about to tell Shen Shiyu and Cheng Xichi that she had to leave first.

Before she could even speak, Shen Shiyu walked over and forcefully pushed her into Cheng Xichi's arms:

"Your turn! I'll take the picture for you!"

Yun Qiao hadn't expected Shen Shiyu to be so strong. Wearing five or six centimeter thick high heels, she really couldn't stand steadily.

He landed solidly in Cheng Xi's arms.

"..."

Cheng Xichi awkwardly took her hand on the shoulder, his voice slightly unnatural: "Are you... alright?"

His neck turned red.

However, my face and ears turned red when I took a picture with Shen Shiyu just now.

This person is probably naturally shy.

"fine."

Yun Qiao quickly steadied herself, straightened her clothes, and looked up to urge Shen Shiyu, "Hurry up and take the picture."

She had to run away as soon as she finished taking the picture.

"You guys get into position first. Xi Chi, put your arm around Qiao Qiao's shoulder."

Shen Shiyu was very excited; it was her first time acting as a matchmaker.

She raised an eyebrow at Yun Qiao, her tone slightly mischievous: "Qiao Qiao, why don't you lean your head on Xi Chi's shoulder?"

Yun Qiao: "..."

Oh no, Shen Shiyu is an idiot.

Would she deliberately take the photos slowly just to "help" her?

No, we can't keep dawdling like this.

Yun Qiao gritted her teeth, reached out and grabbed Cheng Xichi's arm, resting her head on his shoulder:

"Hurry up and take the picture."

Cheng Xichi froze, turning his head to look down at the girl leaning on his shoulder, his breath almost stopping.

"Yun, Yunqiao..."

Thinking he was resisting, Yun Qiao pulled his hand and placed it on her waist:

"Please help me, please help me. I already helped you earlier."

Cheng Xichi's heart pounded, and he wondered if he was dreaming and hadn't woken up yet.

He didn't dare to hug her, but he couldn't bear to pull back either, so he just loosely embraced her, looking at Shen Shiyu's camera with a shy smile.

Shen Shiyu held up her phone, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

"Yes, yes, that's it, you two get a little closer."

"Is that enough? I have something urgent to attend to—"

"Huh? Brother?"

elder brother?!

The way Shen Shiyu was addressed made Yun Qiao stand up straight almost reflexively and follow Shen Shiyu's gaze.

When she saw Shen Suwei, who had arrived at some unknown time, standing not far behind her and looking at her meaningfully, she realized that he was quite a distance away.

Yun Qiao really wanted to die.

Her face remained calm, but her mind was screaming wildly:

[System!! Didn't you say he wouldn't show up?! Who is this now?! A ghost???]

system:【……】

I don't know when they arrived.

Did you see her tricking Shen Shiyu and Cheng Xichi into taking photos just now?

Did you see Chi Zhou again?

If he had seen everything, it would be a miracle if Shen Suwei, with his sharp mind, couldn't have guessed her intentions...

Yun Qiao: 【…You tricked me again.】

Her already damaged image has now been further damaged, and her favorability rating is even lower.
