I want to have a normal campus romance

It seemed that the answer I wanted was not coming. The salesgirl's smile gradually became a little stiff. She looked at Bai Yun who was standing next to me, then looked at Liu Tongtong who was standing on the other side, and finally slowly fixed her gaze on me.

I don't know why, but I always feel that there's something wrong with the way she looks at me.

Well...I hardly had to think about why she looked at me like that.

"Um... sir, actually if you are just friends, you can take pictures. We don't have a clear definition of the identity of the person taking the picture."

As if she was afraid that I would be mentally shocked, the salesgirl deliberately used a very tactful tone to explain to me when she said this.

But after hearing her words, I felt a little embarrassed. I rubbed my eyebrows with a headache, and then slowly looked at Bai Yun and Liu Tongtong who were standing beside me.

After hearing what the salesgirl said, Bai Yun pursed her lips and said nothing. When I looked at her, I could clearly feel that her body was a little stiff.

But her eyes were fixed on me, as if she was curious about who I would choose, which made me feel a little guilty.

The little girl Liu Tongtong didn't stare at me, but was just looking at the event poster not far away. I don't know what she was thinking about. When she saw me looking at her, she immediately retracted her gaze and turned her head to look at me.

This swift movement scared me immediately, and when she saw that I was scared, she looked sly, and I don’t know how many tricks were hidden in her smart eyes.

"Um...sister, can I ask you something?"

Just when I was hesitating about what to do, the girl Liu Tongtong suddenly thought of the salesgirl not far away and asked with a smile. I don’t know why, but after looking at her smile, I always have a bad feeling.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Is this promotion the one on your poster?"

Liu Tongtong pointed to a poster posted not far away. The salesgirl looked in the direction of her finger, thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Well, our store manager just asked us to post this this morning."

"Then I just saw the content on the poster, it only restricts taking photos to men and women, right?"

"Yes."

"Then why don't the three of us take a photo together?"

After hearing what Liu Tongtong said, not only the salesgirl, but also I felt like I was struck by a thunderbolt. Suddenly I felt that this seemed to be a good... No! What a weird idea!

I just clearly saw that a lot of the photos taken were posted on the display wall at the back. Even if the event did not prohibit three people from taking photos together, it would be too conspicuous and weird to be sandwiched among other photos, right?

"This...I can't make up my mind about this. I have to ask our store manager."

The salesgirl didn't seem to expect Liu Tongtong to ask this. Apart from a hint of shock on her face, the look she gave me became even stranger, which made me feel ashamed.

I feel like the misunderstanding is getting deeper and deeper. Could the salesgirl have misunderstood something? Will Peanut be waiting for the store manager? Or will it be the security guard or the police?

When I thought of the security captain and the policeman who liked to joke around in the Central Square just now, I couldn't help but shudder. Who knows what kind of chemical reaction will occur if they meet and deal with things together.

"It's just a photo shoot. It's not like I haven't taken photos before... Why are you so nervous?"

At this moment, seeing me standing there in a daze, Liu Tongtong, who was not far away, walked up to me and patted me on the back, which suddenly woke me up from my previous thoughts.

I was about to say something, but as soon as I opened my mouth to say something, I heard Bai Yun's pleasant voice ringing in my ears.

“Have we taken pictures before?”

"Yes, I'll find it for you!"

After hearing the conversation between Bai Yun and Liu Tongtong, I suddenly realized that the real focus of Liu Tongtong's words just now seemed to be the first half!

I remember that we didn't take any photos. Could it be that Liu Tongtong took them secretly? That shouldn't be the case... Logically speaking, who would openly show others the photos they took secretly?

Besides, Bai Yun and I don't know, so where did this photo come from? It can't be conjured up by magic, right?

Although I was curious, I didn't go over to take a look. After all, photo albums are relatively private, especially albums of the opposite sex.

"Here, this is it!"

Huh? She really used magic to make it happen?

After hearing Liu Tongtong's words, Bai Yun leaned over her little head and looked at the mobile phone in Liu Tongtong's hand, with a look of understanding in her eyes.

Seeing this, I quickly walked to Liu Tongtong, looked at the photo in her hand, and found out...this was indeed our photo.

But...this group photo not only includes us, but also dozens of student leaders in formal attire, because that group photo was taken at the general meeting not long ago.

Looking at this photo... reminds me of things that happened not long ago. I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I always feel that it was only a few weeks ago, but it makes me miss it as if a long time has passed.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the video was recorded so clearly."

At this moment, Liu Tongtong's exclamation sounded in my ears. As her fingers pulled, the center of the photo was continuously enlarged, and the people on the screen were the three of us.

Whether it was me, who was stiff with a wry smile on my face, or Bai Yun, who was holding my arm because of the crowd, and Liu Tongtong, who put her arm on my shoulder, we were all frozen in that moment.

PS: I will continue to update three chapters today. By the way, the bounty for last month has been paid off. This month's bounty remains unchanged at 30 monthly tickets and 3000 fire coupons. On the premise of updating at least once a day, I will add one more chapter.

Chapter 179 Shooting

Looking at such a familiar scene, I felt nostalgic on the one hand, but at the same time I recalled my embarrassment and awkwardness at that time, and of course... the ultimate enjoyment like entering heaven.

Thinking of this, I subconsciously took a peek at Bai Yun who was standing next to me, intending to see her expression at the moment, but I don’t know if my luck has run out.

When I was about to take a peek, Bai Yun happened to have also finished looking at the photos and secretly cast a glance my way. For a moment, our actions of trying to peek at each other's expressions were all exposed to each other.

At this moment, Bai Yun's eyes dodged hurriedly, and her fingers kept twirling around the ends of her hair to relieve the tension at the moment, while I coughed lightly twice and then deliberately turned my head to the other side.

But it seemed as if we had a telepathic connection. After a moment... our eyes, which had been dodging each other, met again in the chaos and rush, as if it was an unspoken agreement between us.

But this time, we were not as embarrassed and nervous as before. Maybe it was because we had already prepared ourselves mentally, or maybe it was the sense of security that the other person's eyes gave each other. I just felt a little calm in my heart.

Such a coincidental and funny thing happened to me. When I came to my senses, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. And as if sensing the subtle atmosphere at the moment, Bai Yun also burst out laughing and laughed with me.

It seemed to be an illusion on my part, because I felt that her smile this time was more real and charming than usual.

"Hey, don't pretend I don't exist, okay? You two are laughing so happily, but you don't even want to play with me."

At this moment, Liu Tongtong, who was standing in front of Bai Yun and me with a mobile phone in her hand, slowly put away her phone, turned her head... and looked at me with a pout, and even waved her little fist to express her dissatisfaction.

"What were you laughing at just now?"

"I...I just thought of something happy."

After hearing the girl's question, I didn't know how to answer for a moment, so I just made up a universal answer. Bai Yun didn't seem to have any good ideas either. After hearing Liu Tongtong's words, she also agreed with my answer.

"Me...me too."

"Eh? Is it true?"

However, the girl obviously didn't believe my answer. She squinted her eyes and looked at me suspiciously, which made me feel inexplicably guilty. Fortunately, the shopping guide who went to find the store manager came back at this time.

"Hello, I just asked the store manager, and he said that you three can take a photo together. May I ask...are you taking the photo now? Or do you need to prepare?"

"Just now!"

Seeing that my life-saving straw had come, I quickly told the salesgirl, otherwise if Liu Tongtong continued to question me, I would be so overwhelmed.

However, the salesgirl seemed to be frightened by my anxious tone. She looked at me with an even weirder look and even took a half step back as if she was afraid.

No way? Am I that scary?

At this moment, I suddenly felt like crying but had no tears. However, in order to avoid misunderstanding, I coughed twice and explained to her. After all, there have been enough rumors such as "milk tea shop scumbag", and I don’t want any weird rumors to spread in the future.

"Ahem... Well, we have to go back to school later, so we're a bit rushed."

After hearing what I said, Bai Yun and Liu Tongtong nodded in agreement. After hearing what I said, the shopping guide looked a little embarrassed. She smiled at me apologetically and continued to say:

"Then please move over here, the three of you."

The salesgirl took us to a small room next to the store, where we saw several lighting equipment and professional backgrounds. For a moment, I thought I was back at the film and television base.

To be honest, I am used to the equipment in this play. I even know the models of several professional equipment. I also gave the photographer some suggestions on the best angles and positions for placing the equipment. The photographer's eyes lit up when he heard it.

After all, I have been in the crew for so long, and I am not just eating for free. I have been exposed to it for so long... and I have learned some skills. Although I don't think they are of much use in daily life, I never expected that I would use them here.

"Hahaha, young man... sure, you're a photographer too, right?"

"I've played with it for a while before, but I'm still a little immature compared to you. I just had some sudden ideas."

After I heard what the photographer said, I didn't brag about it. I just smiled and waved my hands, and said a few polite words modestly. The cameraman was very pleased and said to me with a smile:

"You are such a good talker, I want to introduce my daughter to you. She is about the same age as you."

However, he had just said half of his words when he saw Bai Yun and Liu Tongtong beside me, and then he gradually stopped talking, as if he understood something and laughed twice.

"Hahaha, never mind... just ignore what I said, young man. You're really lucky."

After hearing his words, I couldn't help but feel ashamed, but I also denied it directly in front of others. At this time, Liu Tongtong interrupted me and asked a question.

"Brother, are you still into photography?"

After hearing Liu Tongtong's words, even Bai Yun came over and looked at me curiously. This made me feel guilty, but I still pretended to be calm and said:

"Uh... occasionally. I've played it before."

Well, after all, going to the crew only once or twice a week can be called "occasionally", and what happened a few days ago can also be considered "before", so if I round it off, I am telling the truth!

After all, even if I told them that Xia Xiaoyao and I were filming an MV, I don't think they would believe it, right? After all, even Mo Yuhan found it hard to believe, let alone Bai Yun and Liu Tongtong who were still in school.

"Okay, stand over there. You can get ready to take pictures."

At this moment, the photographer adjusted the "camera" in his hand, waved to the three of us and said.

As for why it is called a "camera", it is because...what he holds in his hand is not a digital camera like Sony or Panasonic, but a mobile phone that is out of tune with the surrounding professional equipment.

But this is understandable, after all, it is publicity...

So I didn't think there was anything strange about it. What's more, the phone he was holding was the one I just bought. After taking the photos... he would leave it to me together with the packaging as a souvenir.

"Okay, you guys stand towards the light. This is a photo shoot for two people, so the three of you should stand in the middle. Right, right, right...Okay, you guys choose a pose."

Pose? Can I still choose the pose?

By the way...what are the postures?

Chapter 180 Photos

To be honest, after I heard about the photographer, many poses came to my mind almost as a conditioned reflex, but... ahem, I guess I'll be arrested if I say this out loud, right?

But if you really ask me to pose for a photo, well... I can do it. After all, I have been in the crew for so long and I still have a sense of camera. But although that kind of pose looks very ornamental in the photo, it looks very pretentious from a third-party perspective.

"Don't be too restrained, just be natural."

Uncle, please at least tell me what nature is. Who can understand you?

Just when I was thinking about changing the posture, Liu Tongtong, who was standing next to me, smiled and then casually put her arm on my shoulder.

I was stunned at first, but then, as if we had discussed it beforehand, Bai Yun beside me also took my arm, which made me swallow, and then I looked at Bai Yun in surprise.

Her face looked normal and calm, but the small movement of her hands holding the hem of her skirt betrayed her. She seemed to be in almost the same condition as me.

I could even see some regret on her face. Maybe...she was regretting her impulsiveness? But I didn't think so. If it wasn't this, what was Bai Yun regretting?

"Oh - good pose, okay... smile, all three of you! Be happy!"

Listening to the photographer's words, I felt so upset, but maybe it was because of my experiences during this period of time, after a brief moment of confusion, I felt much calmer. Maybe my mood changed, and I became calmer as well.

At this moment, the photographer smiled at us in admiration, and then pressed the shutter button with satisfaction. He looked at the photos on his mobile phone with a happy smile on his face, as if he had completed a work of art.

Looking at the photos on the phone, I suddenly couldn't help laughing, and time seemed to have gone back to that day.

Because I found that the posture in this photo is clearly a replica of the group photo we took during the general meeting, but there are some differences.

This time, we were free of the unexpected events caused by the crowds, and instead posed naturally; without the crowds of people around us, there were only three of us in the photo; there was no stiffness and tension as before, and instead we felt safe and calm.

In the photo, Bai Yun is holding my arm, with a slightly raised mouth and tenderness in her eyes, but her hands holding the hem of her skirt reveal her inner nervousness. It feels like an artistic photo of a newlywed wife holding her husband's arm.

Liu Tongtong was as casual as ever, with her arm casually resting on my shoulders. I couldn't tell what emotion was written in her eyes, because she didn't look directly at the camera, but turned her head towards me, glancing at me vaguely with her eyes.

To be honest... I always feel that such photos, or even such scenes, will only appear in my dreams. Even when I took photos at the last general meeting, I was as at a loss as a panicked child, but now I am less at a loss.

I don’t know if this means I’m entering maturity. I don’t even know whether this change is good or bad, and what impact it will have on my future life.

Even though this is very different from my previous life, breaking the comfort zone I created for myself, and even though I know that those confusing emotions will have to be resolved sooner or later, at this moment I just feel that this kind of life...maybe not bad.

I put the SIM card into the new phone and asked the clerk to help me import the original data. From then on, my old phone graduated and retired with the memories of the past three years.

I don’t know if holding a new phone means that I have started a new life, but seeing the “old friend” that has accompanied me for many years leave, I still have a feeling of breaking away from the past.
