The big guy chuckled, relying on his size to be fearless.
"Jiang Nian, byd, you're such a dog. Abandoning us to suck up to the biology teacher at the back."
"Respect for teachers and their teachings, don't you get it?"
"Ugh!"
"You're so shaless!"
The trio made a racket, drawing attention from those ahead. The girls also turned back, looking towards them.
"It's Li Hua and his friends again, boys are so boring."
"Exactly."
Zhang Ningzhi turned around, puffing with anger, "Only knows how to take pictures of the biology teacher, total perv!"
Yao Beibei glanced around, trying to comfort.
"Forget it, it's not suitable for taking pictures on the road. The photos won't turn out well, let's take them when we arrive."
They also brought caras but don't know how to use them well.
"Alright."
Li Qingrong rely glanced back once, then turned away, seemingly uninterested as she continued forward.
Nie Qiqi muttered to herself, unclear what she was saying. Cai Xiaoqing looked down at her phone, sending a ssage.
Yu Zhiyi rolled her eyes and snorted coldly.
"That person really!"
...
As for the journey.
The long queue had arrived by the riverside, walking along the riverbank towards Zhennan Bridge.
After crossing the bridge and entering the valley, it was just the official starting point, having completed a quarter of the journey.
"So far away." Wang Yuhe complained.
"Walking on two feet naturally feels far." Jiang Nian took a picture of her, "Try crawling."
"You're the dog here!" She retorted angrily, having washed her hair at noon, wearing a loose shirt.
Her face was washed clean, yet still looking silly.
Jiang Nian didn't mind, turning to Chen Yunyun. She wore a blue shirt and jacket, looking lively.
"Look this way."
After snapping a picture, he quickly withdrew, lest Zhang Ningzhi noticed and poked him later.
Poking his face would be fine, but poking his waist couldn't be endured.
"Tired?"
"So-so." Chen Yunyun wasn't very fit, "How much further, is it close?"
"Hmm... Almost halfway through." He told a kind lie.
"Alright." Chen Yunyun thought for a mont, glanced at the picture, "You take such nice pictures."
The girl's face leaned in closer, warm breath.
Jiang Nian glanced at her with the corner of his eye, her lips plump, face reflecting the sky, showing a warm honey color.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Jiang Nian silent, Chen Yunyun slightly turned her head, accidentally eting his unabashed gaze.
Bright, bold, uniquely mischievous like a youth. Like a high-hanging bright moon, full of spirit.
His gaze seed to take shape, like a thread linking the blush on her cheeks to her ears.
"You..."
"Does taking photos require checking one's face?" A crisp voice leisurely floated over.
Zhang Ningzhi approached with Yao Beibei, strolling beside the two. Glancing at them, she spoke again.
"Then take a look for too."
Chen Yunyun blushed at the words, unsure how to argue, probably unable to.
"I'll... go find Yuhe."
After saying this, she seed to find an excuse for herself and quickly left with her head down.
Jiang Nian was a bit speechless, but not flustered.
"Sure, let take a look."
He reached out with one hand, holding Zhang Ningzhi's half cheek. With the other hand, he picked up his cara to take a close-up.
"Smile."
Zhang Ningzhi was horrified, a photo taken so close would surely turn out ugly, "No!! You can't!"
The two chased each other around Yao Beibei, then continued forward.
It was the first group outing, although a hike, everyone was excited, bolder than usual.
Jiang Nian wasn't nervous, his behavior naturally blended in.
Suddenly, raindrops fell.
"Eep!!"
"It's raining!!!"
After a few seconds, more people noticed. Umbrellas sprang open like colorful mushrooms.
Before long, the previously open view was obscured.
Jiang Nian smiled.
He first took nurous photos of Zhang Ningzhi and Yao Beibei, then snapped a few for Dong Que and Lin Dong.
Finally reaching the front of the group, he used taking photos for Cai Xiaoqing as an excuse to pull the class monitor aside for a few shots.
"How's this?"
Jiang Nian didn't have an umbrella, so he directly shared one with Li Qingrong under the pretense of reviewing the photo.
"Have you looked?"
Li Qingrong: "...."
Before arriving at Zhennan Bridge, classmates occasionally approached Jiang Nian for pictures, and he naturally invited Li Qingrong to share the umbrella.
In this busy scenario, the two walked together.
When soone ca, he took pictures. When no one ca, he strolled and chatted with Li Qingrong under the shared umbrella.
"Qingqing, why aren't you wearing that one from last ti....."
"Ouch!! Don't twist!" Jiang Nian felt a pang in his waist, unable to see when she reached out.
Li Qingrong, with a cool deanor, casually released her grip.
"Want to see?"
Her voice was faint, audible only when they were close. The rain grew heavier, drumming on the umbrella.
"Really?" Jiang Nian was surprised, his pupils widening, "I do, that outfit actually looked nice."
"But..."
"Hmm?" Li Qingrong glanced at him, and after a while, couldn't help asking, "But what?"
"If pants could be changed to..... and the shirt....." Jiang Nian moved closer, quickly whispering in her ear.
Bang!
The not-so-soft sound blended into the rain without standing out.
"Ouch~!!" Jiang Nian gasped, "Why'd you hit again?"
Li Qingrong shot him a sideways glance, exasperated.
"Pervert."
...
Raindrops fell, as the senior's hiking group passed Zhennan Bridge, spiraling at the valley foot.
"There's a park ahead, a place to shelter from the rain."
"Those needing a bathroom, go quickly."
"Rest here for ten minutes."
The group beca chaotic, with people holding umbrellas and wandering around. Colors of umbrella fabric mingled when viewed from above.
Jiang Nian left the class three's line, heading back.
Xu Qianqian and another girl wore identical outfits, sent by Song Xiyun's mom, chatting and laughing.
Class four blocked the valley park entrance, waiting for the previous classes to leave, while the classes behind hadn't arrived.
"You're here."
"Yeah."
"Is your class ahead?" Xu Qianqian asks, rembering the cool girl for so reason.
That girl's gaze on the day, indescribable feeling.
"They're resting." Jiang Nian casually replied, "This is the hike's starting point, let's take a few pictures for you first."
Song Xiyun peeled a chocolate bar and not knowing where to put it, handed it to Xu Qianqian.
"I don't want it." She shook her head.
"Then....." Xiao Song, driven by impulse, offered it to Jiang Nian, quickly realizing and trying to take it back.
"Thanks." Jiang Nian bent down, directly biting onto the chocolate, a sweet flavor followed by a subtle bitterness.
Song Xiyun blushed slightly, responded with an 'uh,' then prepared for photos.
Luckily, no one found it odd, whether Xu Qianqian or Jiang Nian, seemingly already used to it.
She recalled the trio's interaction mode. She exhaled a bit, realizing she'd been too sensitive.
After a while, both girls ca to look at the photos.
"Not bad at all."
"Didn't expect you had this skill." Xu Qianqian said, "Why didn't you co take photos for us earlier?"
Driven by impulse, she thought of that class monitor.
"Taking pictures for the classmates, promised half the class." Jiang Nian opened the photo to show her.
Boys and girls alike, all taken in pairs or groups.
"So exhausting, just managed to get away. Say, I might as well join your class."
Listening to his complaints, Xu Qianqian gradually dispelled her doubts.
"Forget it."
She rolled her eyes, "You love taking photos so much, soon you'll be taking pictures of all the girls in our class."
"You reminded ." Jiang Nian said openly, "Where's Zhou Haifei from your class?"
"Previously joked about taking a few shots of her."
Hearing this, Song Xiyun beca curious and asked.
"Are you two close?"
Jiang Nian lowered his head, casually replied.
"Yep, we worked under the sa teacher."
