On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 34 At that moment, I was the only one in his eyes!

"Crack!"

As the shutter button was pressed, the first photo of Su Yuqing with herself as the protagonist after she grew up was born, and it was taken by the most important person in her heart.

The afterglow of the setting sun penetrated the gaps between the camphor trees, weaving a layer of golden gauze on Su Yuqing's shoulders.

Chen Mo's knuckles felt slightly hot from where he was holding the phone - the girl in the viewfinder was looking up at the flock of pigeons flying by, her jaw to collarbone forming a soft curve like a swan's neck.

When the wind blew past, she subconsciously raised her hand to suppress her flying hair, and her wrist bones shone like jade in the backlight.

Chen Mo lowered his eyes to examine the film: Su Yuqing's profile in the picture was immersed in a warm orange mist, and the shadow cast by the bridge of her nose just outlined the full contours of her lips.

Chen Mo's thumb gently magnified the details on the screen - in the backlight, Su Yuqing's eyelashes were like butterfly whiskers dipped in honey, and the corners of her lips unconsciously formed a gentle ripple.

This smile is different from the stiff mask in the family portrait, but rather a clear ripple of light spreading from the eyes.

"Take a look, are you satisfied?" When he handed over the phone, the edge of the screen still retained the warmth of his palm.

Su Yuqing moved closer hesitantly, but held her breath the moment she saw the picture clearly.

The sunset glow gave her features a furry golden edge, and the spots of light dancing between her hair looked like falling stardust.

It turns out that when the camera is no longer scary, the frozen time can be so vivid and lively.

For the first time, she realized that she could be so beautiful in a photo.

"It's filmed so well..." Her fingertips stroked the light flowing on the screen, and the ending tone was as light as a sigh.

The sweet aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts from twenty meters away drifted in with the wind, blending with the crisp citrus scent on Chen Mo's body to create a soothing smell.

Chen Mo suddenly switched the camera mode to continuous shooting: "Come on, try waving to the pigeons."

Before she could react, flocks of white feathers had already swept across the sky filled with boiling clouds.

Su Yuqing instinctively raised her face and stretched out her hand. The wind filled the sleeves of her chiffon shirt, and in an instant thousands of feathers danced with her hair.

In the viewfinder, her pupils were filled with half a rosy glow, reflecting the gentle folds of the entire world.

After taking a few more photos of Su Yuqing, the bus had arrived. Chen Mo hurriedly bought a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts, and then got on the return bus with Su Yuqing.

While Chen Mo was eating sweet and hot chestnuts, Su Yuqing was repeatedly stroking the photo album on her mobile phone. Every photo Chen Mo took was a picture of himself kissed by light and wind.

She suddenly felt a little more fond of herself.

Su Yuqing, who felt that she was not needed and even had a distorted perception that she even hated herself, now felt a different kind of love in the world little by little.

Learning to love yourself is also a kind of love.

She secretly set the backlit profile photo as her lock screen - it turns out that when there is someone worthy of entrusting the stars to standing on the other side of the camera, the moment is eternity.

Looking at this photo, it’s as if I see the boy standing in front of me, coated in a layer of golden light by the twilight, so focused that he is only looking at myself.

At that moment, he only had himself in his eyes.

"Are you in awe of my photography skills?" Chen Mo smiled and handed over a chestnut with half of its shell peeled off.

Su Yuqing reached out and took it and said with a smile: "Have you studied photography before?"

"No, it's just a hobby." Chen Mo smiled and said. He had studied videography before, simply to capture every detail of the suspect when collecting evidence.

Before I knew it, I became interested in this line of work, so I learned a little more.

Now we have the opportunity to use it.

Looking at the photos on the phone screensaver, Su Yuqing's face was full of happiness.

After returning to the New City District, Chen Mo took Su Yuqing directly to the night market.

"This time is just right. The night market has just opened and there won't be that many people. Let's go there early, order some delicious food and run away, otherwise it will be too crowded when we go back." Chen Mo smiled and took Su Yuqing's hand and trotted to the night market.

At the entrance of the night market, neon signs light up one after another, and the sizzling aroma of cumin wafts in the air.

Chen Mo moved between the stalls with familiarity, his sleeves gently pulled by Su Yuqing. It looked like Chen Mo was holding a snail that was cautiously poking out of its shell.

"I want the octopus balls to be crispy." He gestured to the boss in a white hat, and when he turned around, he ran into Su Yuqing staring at the grilled squid in a daze.

The red chili oil flowed brightly on the squid tentacles, and her throat rolled gently.

"Buy whatever you want to eat. Just tell me what you want to eat. Just think of it as an early salary payment for you. You can repay me with your labor later." Chen Mo knew that Su Yuqing would feel embarrassed and resistant to using only her own money, so he said this to relieve some of her psychological pressure.

Chen Mo grabbed the grilled squid and stuffed the bamboo skewer into her palm.

Su Yuqing took a small bite and soon showed an expression of satisfaction and happiness.

"She's too easy to satisfy." Chen Mo looked at Su Yuqing with a smile, "She'll definitely be easy to support if I marry her home."

Looking at Su Yuqing's cute appearance while eating with a smile, Chen Mo held the small meatballs in his hands and gave one to each of them from time to time. Soon the squid and the small meatballs were shared and eaten.

Chen Mo gave her half of the squid because he was worried that she would eat too much and her stomach would be too small to hold more food.

Now that he was out, he wanted Su Yuqing to taste more delicious food tonight.

"Try this." White mist rose from the cracked golden curry puff pastry just out of the pan. Chen Mo blew on it twice and brought it to Su Yuqing's mouth. "If it's still hot, blow on it first."

Before he could finish his words, Su Yuqing was already gasping for breath due to the burn, but she was reluctant to spit out the mouthful of dense mashed potatoes. Her cute appearance of puffing out her cheeks and stamping her feet made Chen Mo laugh so hard that he bent over.

Light and shadow weave a flowing galaxy behind them.

In front of the sugar painting stall, Su Yuqing gazed at the amber syrup winding into a swan on the stone slab, and the old artist flicked his wrist to draw out feathers.

"Open your mouth." Chen Mo placed the slightly burnt marshmallow against her lips. The moment Su Yuqing took a bite, the icing on her nose looked like a piece of snow. He raised his phone to freeze this moment.

The girl's eyes in the viewfinder are filled with the lights of thousands of homes, brighter than all the neon lights behind her.

The sweet aroma of osmanthus wine wafts from the corner, and the cries of roasted sweet potatoes come from the distance, interweaving with the crisp sound of candied haws glass to form a warm nocturne.

Looking at Chen Mo who treated her like a pig and wanted her to taste everything, Su Yuqing felt the satisfaction of being surrounded by delicious food, and the happiness of being cared for by the person he cared about.

Surrounded by double happiness, Su Yuqing felt extremely relaxed and happy at this moment. In the past, when she wanted to eat these snacks, she had to beg her parents for a long time before she could reluctantly get a little money to buy some snacks.

Recalling the scene after her half-brother was born, when his parents doted on him terribly, putting all kinds of delicious food in front of his mouth and letting him eat half and throw away the other half, Su Yuqing immediately shook her head to get rid of that bad memory.
