Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 111. He had seen him.
As Lin Feng spoke, he looked up and noticed that the man sitting not far away was staring at his phone, seemingly lost in thought. A hint of helplessness flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

"Brother Ci, are you even listening to me?"

Ji Yanci gripped his phone tightly, his expression indifferent.

"Isn't it just a publicity stunt on Weibo?"

Lin Feng sighed.

"This is not just hype; do you know that the chemistry between a couple is also a mysterious thing?"

"There's a lot to learn about how to make it look natural so that netizens will buy it and it doesn't look like industrial saccharin."

Seeing Lin Feng's eloquent explanation, Ji Yanci frowned slightly.

"I should have sent you to work for an entertainment company."

Lin Feng chuckled: "If my old man hadn't insisted on sending me to the Ji family, I might have really gone home and started a talent agency."

"By the way," he said, taking out his phone and forwarding a Weibo link to Ji Yanci. "This is a very popular topic recently. You can take a look and try to find some inspiration."

Ji Yanci casually clicked on it and glanced at it.

The hashtag for the topic is #PhotosThatAmazingYourAtFirstSightAndOverflowingWithCouplePositions#.

He casually flipped through two pages.

Most of the couples in the show are from newly released TV dramas featuring various celebrities; there are very few couples with no real-life celebrities.

Ji Yanci gave a slight smirk, "It's all created through makeup and lighting, what's so beautiful about it—"

The words came to an abrupt halt, and the man's nonchalant gaze froze as well.

Lin Feng was puzzled: "Really? I think some of the photos are quite good. Brother Ci, you don't even like one of them?"

The man in front of him did not respond.

He just kept staring at his phone screen.

It seems like there's something strange inside.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow: "How about it? I told you some of the photos were pretty good!"

He craned his neck: "Let me see too, which CP is it—Jiang Jixu?!"

Lin Feng stared in astonishment at the girl in the photo.

How could it be Jiang Jixu?!

But the next second he realized something was wrong, turned to look at Ji Yanci, and tried to make amends, but it was too late.

The man's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water.

His eyes were fixed on the phone screen.

The two people in the photo are standing one in front of the other. The man has his back to the camera, and only the outline of his profile can be vaguely seen, while Jiang Jixu, who is behind him, just shows his eyes.

Those beautiful, delicate, round almond-shaped eyes.

Anyone familiar with Jiang Jixu would recognize him at a glance.

Ji Yanci, with a gloomy face, silently scrolled through the comments under the photo.

[Ahhh, this photo is so good! He looked down at her, and even though they weren't doing anything, I could still feel an intense, unspoken tension! Anyone understand?!]

I know what you mean. Actually, there are many details to appreciate in this photo. For example, there's a pomegranate tree next to the male and female leads, and the girl is wearing a pomegranate flower in her hair! Who put that on her? Those who know, know~

[Wow, I've got this! I've got this!!]

[I'm done for! I can't even understand the basics of this, let alone how to ship a couple! Can someone please analyze this for me?]

[The class upstairs is truly the worst I've ever taught! (Just kidding, haha) Continuing the analysis, I initially didn't understand why the boy in the photo was blocking the girl, but just now I noticed a small detail, and it suddenly dawned on me!]

[Teacher, please continue!]

Teacher, I can't do without you!

[Ahem, let me explain slowly. Everyone, take a look at the girl's skirt!]

What happened to the hem of the skirt?

[Can you see a slight, fluctuating arc?]

[Being blown by the wind is normal... Holy crap? No way!!]

[Yes, that's exactly what you thought! The guy was shielding the girl from the wind! That's why he appeared on camera like that!] [Ahhhhh, this is so sweet! How could he not even let her feel the wind?!]

[Who understands? This is the real couple! What was all that nonsense before?]

……

There were many similar comments. Lin Feng, who was standing next to him, was also forced to watch the whole process and couldn't help but sigh: "This photo was posted less than 24 hours ago, but I didn't expect it to get so much attention."

The background clearly indicates that it's taken at University A. The photo isn't very clear; it was probably just a quick snapshot taken with a mobile phone.

It's likely that even those celebrities in the entertainment industry didn't expect that such a simple, unedited photo of an ordinary person would outshine the stills they carefully selected for their shows.

Lin Feng sighed as he carefully observed Ji Yanci's reaction.

He was just gloomy, but he didn't go crazy like before.

It looks alright.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard Ji Yanci say.

I think I've seen this person before.

Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Ji Yanci was referring to Lu Lishen. He quickly glanced at the man and chuckled, "You must have seen him before."

They had all seen the screenshot of Jiang Jixu's marriage certificate.

Although Lu Lishen only showed a small part of his face in this photo, it is not difficult to see that he is the same person as the one on the marriage certificate.

Ji Yanci, however, continued to stare intently at the man's back.

After a moment, he seemed to have finally realized something, his voice hoarse and dry.

"Lin Feng, I've seen this person before."

Ji Yanci looked up, his eyes bloodshot with alarming redness. "It wasn't a marriage certificate; it was from eight years ago!"

"I saw him at No. 1 High School! He was a student there!"

Lin Feng was stunned.

Eight years ago, they were still in high school.

Lu Lishen is actually a student at No. 1 High School?

Why doesn't he have any impression at all?

A whole bunch of random questions were swirling in his mind, but Ji Yanci had already lowered his head again.

The fingers gripping the phone were turning bluish-white from excessive force.

A slightly immature face and a somewhat thin and frail figure came to mind.

The two gradually changed, eventually becoming the Lu Lishen we know today.

Ji Yanci's breathing became rapid.

He didn't admit his mistake!
That's the kid!

He's still haunting us!
Lin Feng, who was standing to the side, thought for a long time but couldn't find any memory related to Lu Lishen. He couldn't help but wonder, "Brother Ci, I really don't remember this person. Are you sure he's from No. 1 Middle School?"

Ji Yanci twitched his lips.

"It wasn't like that back then."

"He is three years younger than us."

"Back then, he was still in junior high school!"

Ji Yanci's back teeth clenched so hard they crunched, and his memory was pulled back to that scorching September—

The new semester for second-year high school students has begun.

After the division into arts and sciences classes, he was still in the same class as Jiang Jixu, but Lin Feng chose arts, so he was no longer in the same class as them from the second year of high school.

The first time I noticed Lu Lishen was when Jiang Jixu returned the notebook he had copied.

He doesn't like taking notes.

But the Chinese teacher at the time loved to check notes.

To prevent him from being noticed by the teacher, Jiang Jixu would set aside one day each week to help him finish that week's notes.
