Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

Zhou Chenyu glanced at the long counter to the side, took a long stride, and nimbly flipped onto it, adjusting the camera settings from above.

"Come over here, look up, and look at the camera."

The two sisters obediently followed his instructions. Zhou Chenyu looked down at them through the camera lens, lightly pressed his fingertip, and captured two more images.

The boss then suggested that the two of them sit on the edge of the counter. Zhou Chenyu, holding a camera, half-squatted down and found a tricky angle that resembled sitting on a balcony with his feet dangling in the air.

"Okay, look at the camera."

The shutter clicked crisply.

The two sisters smiled broadly, their eyes crinkling.

"Okay, keep it up."

Finally, the two of them put their heads together and made a big heart shape with their hands above their heads.

Zhou Chenyu captured this moment, put down the camera, and said calmly, "Okay, that's enough."

The shop owner smiled and said, "Young lady, change your clothes and then come to the front desk to choose your photos."

"Okay!" Su Fengxia replied crisply.

Su Fengnan glanced at Zhou Chenyu out of the corner of her eye, her lips parted slightly, and she hesitated for a moment before finally remaining silent.

"Let's go, sis." Su Fengxia tugged at her clothes.

"Okay." Su Fengnan shook her head gently, suppressing the inexplicable unease in her heart, and turned to follow her sister outside.

Just then, a clear voice came from behind: "Su Fengnan, aren't you going to take a few pictures yourself?"

Su Fengnan paused, turned around, and politely declined with a smile: "No need, I just came to take a photo with my little sister." After saying that, she turned and walked away quickly.

As soon as the two sisters left the photo area, the shop owner immediately approached Zhou Chenyu, his face full of gossip: "Xiaoyu, what's going on? Do you two know each other?"

"Hmm," Zhou Chenyu replied casually.

"Our Xiaoyu is quite the charmer! Look at you, you've only been here a short time, and you've already had several suitors coming to your door and delivering love letters!" The boss said, observing his expression as he teased, "Our doorstep is practically worn down by all the visitors."

Zhou Chenyu narrowed his long, narrow eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping coolly over the boss: Keep making things up, let's see what kind of tricks you can come up with.

The boss felt uneasy under that sharp gaze and immediately raised his hands in surrender.

In truth, Zhou Chenyu's reaction at this moment was merely a facade of composure. The moment he saw Su Fengnan, a strange and uncontrollable feeling had already welled up inside him—exactly the same emotion he felt when he first met her.

"Alright, I won't say anything more! But you're twenty-five now, shouldn't you start thinking about your personal life?" The boss grumbled as he packed up the equipment. "Before, when you were studying away from home, I thought you'd bring someone back with you, but who knew you'd be single all this time, with no one to take care of you. Aren't you lonely?"

Before you came back, your grandma always said that you would bring her a granddaughter-in-law. Now it seems that your grandma will not get to drink that cup of tea for her granddaughter-in-law.

The boss kept nagging, but Zhou Chenyu remained calm and unresponsive, casually playing with the darts in his hand while sitting on the high stool.

The boss sighed, "Oh well, never mind, you're the kind of person who has a strong opinion."

When Su Fengnan and her sister returned to the dressing room, the three girls had just finished tidying up, and their makeup had been wiped clean with wet wipes, revealing their originally clear faces.

"Are you hungry? Let's go get some hot pot after we've chosen the photos," Wu Min suggested.

"Great!" Li Qing's eyes lit up.

"Oh, I want to eat now!" Wang Feifei rubbed her stomach and agreed.

Wu Min turned to Su Fengnan: "Sister Su, Su Fengxia, what do you think?"

Su Fengnan nodded gently: "You decide, I have no problem with it."

Su Fengxia smiled and replied, "Okay."

"Then it's decided! Let's hurry up when we're choosing photos!"

Next, they selected the photos to be printed on the computer. Several people gathered around the counter, and the owner showed them the photos one by one.

Just as the group was intently choosing, a voice suddenly rang out from behind them: "Have you made your choice?"

Zhou Chenyu appeared silently behind Su Fengnan without her noticing, and suddenly spoke, startling Su Fengnan so much that her shoulders trembled.

Several girls turned around at the sound, and when they saw who it was, the slight annoyance that had just risen in Su Fengnan's eyes was quickly suppressed when she saw Zhou Chenyu's expressionless face. After all, he had indeed put a lot of effort into the photoshoot today, so she decided not to hold it against him.

She blinked, her voice still tinged with lingering fear, and stammered, "Brother Zhou... why do you walk so quietly? It's quite startling when you suddenly make a sound."

Su Fengnan's tone was soft and gentle, like a startled cat that quickly calms down after its fur has been ruffled. She was genuinely frightened. This person could be terrifying! If it weren't for the softness in her voice, others would probably have thought she was angry.

Zhou Chenyu: "..."

Several girls: "..."

Boss: "..."

"Ahem." The boss's cough broke the eerie silence.

"Did I scare you?" Zhou Chenyu's gaze fell on Su Fengnan.

Su Fengnan nodded honestly.

"I'm sorry," Zhou Chenyu apologized sincerely, then glanced at the boss in front of the computer, "You can continue."

The shop owner's smile faded, and he gripped the mouse again: "Okay, let's continue choosing. Do you want this one?"

The girls looked at each other, then turned their attention back to the screen and continued to filter photos.

"Come out for a moment."

After Zhou Chenyu finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the photo studio. Su Fengnan was momentarily at a loss, unsure whether she should follow him. She glanced back at the group and whispered to Su Fengxia, "Little sister, you guys go ahead and choose. I'll be back in a bit."

Su Fengxia looked at her sister, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said "Okay".

Su Fengnan walked out of the photo studio but didn't see Zhou Chenyu. She looked around in confusion when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.

Are you looking for me?

Su Fengnan turned around suddenly and saw Zhou Chenyu standing at the entrance of a convenience store not far away, paying money and holding a bottle of milk in his hand.

Su Fengnan was speechless. What did this person want from her?

She walked over and stood beside him without saying a word, just staring at him intently, wanting to see what other tricks he could come up with.

Zhou Chenyu put away the change, turned around and handed the milk in his hand to her, saying sincerely, "Have a couple of sips to calm your nerves. I'm sorry about earlier."

The shopkeeper also gave Su Fengnan a curious look, making her quite uncomfortable. Looking at the milk offered to her, the words of refusal circled on her lips before she swallowed them back. She took the milk and asked softly, "You called me out just for this?"

"No," Zhou Chenyu denied. "I have something for you in the car. Come with me to get it."

He took a few steps forward after speaking, but found that Su Fengnan had not followed. He turned around and saw that she was still standing in the same place, her clear peach blossom eyes filled with doubt, defensiveness and hesitation, all of which were clearly seen by him.

Zhou Chenyu shook his head helplessly, finding it somewhat amusing. He walked back to Su Fengnan and explained softly, "I asked a friend to send you a bottle of scar-removing ointment. It's for you. Whether you want it or not is up to you."

After saying that, he turned and left again without waiting for Su Fengnan's reaction.
