"I was just killing time anyway, so I came out for a stroll and happened to see you here."

Ding Heng walked over to Wen Shu, glanced at the camera she had set up, and continued to give instructions.

"Your composition is too symmetrical, it looks unnatural."

Wen Shu pursed her lips and bent down again to adjust the viewfinder angle.

"so?"

"Hmm, a little better."

Ding Heng walked to her side and bent down slightly to observe her through the viewfinder.

"The aperture can be stopped down one stop to make the texture of the snow mountain clearer."

In an instant, the two were very close to each other.

Ding Heng had clearly been drinking again; the slight smell of alcohol on his breath made Wen Shu's heart beat faster involuntarily.

She composed herself and reached out to adjust the aperture ring on the lens, but just as her fingers touched the lens, Ding Heng's hand reached out at the same time.

The man's rough, large hand covered the back of her hand, gently guiding her to rotate the halo.

"Go here."

His tone was serious, as if he were fully engaged in teaching, but the heat of his palms made Wen Shu tremble with fear.

She had heard her sister complain about her brother-in-law's high body temperature more than once, and now she truly felt it for herself.

After adjusting the camera, Ding Heng did not let go of her hand, nor did Wen Shu pull it back.

Within the viewfinder, the snow-capped mountains stand silently on the horizon.

As a gentle breeze blew by, Ding Heng released his grip and straightened up.

"Give it a try."

"Ah."

Wen Shu lowered her head and pressed the shutter.

"Click".

The image freezes, and the composition is indeed much better than before.

"Thank you, brother-in-law."

Wen Shu sincerely thanked them.

In the past, Ding Heng always complained that he was not as good as his father, Ding Wenjie, and that he disrespected photography. But after getting to know him better, Wen Shu realized that Ding Heng's photography skills were absolutely first-rate.

Even his private photos of girls are exceptional in both composition and post-processing.

"You're welcome."

Ding Heng leaned against the railing, quietly gazing at the distant snow-capped mountains.

Wen Shu stood to the side, silently tidying up her camera bag.

As the sun slowly sank below the horizon, the golden-red hue of the sky gradually turned into a deep purple.

Wen Shu suddenly spoke up: "Brother-in-law, do you think a person can stay like this forever?"

"how?"

"Just like that... look at the scenery, and don't think about anything."

Ding Heng did not give a direct answer, but instead changed the subject.

"There's no use in overthinking. Life goes on, so just be happy."

Wen Shu didn't reply. Her fingers brushed across the camera body again, the surface still warm from the man's hand.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded again from the other end of the plank road.

Wenjing smoothed her wind-blown hair and looked up.

The moment she saw her younger sister standing side by side with Ding Heng, her expression froze, but she quickly returned to normal.

"That explains why I couldn't find you two anywhere."

She walked over and stood beside Wen Shu, glancing at the distant snow-capped mountains, her tone devoid of emotion.

"The view here is really great. No wonder you two came up here."

"sister……"

Wen Shu felt incredibly guilty and instinctively wanted to explain, but she was too nervous to speak.

Thinking back to the last time she felt this nervous, it was when she was a child and secretly drank Wenjing's milk tea... Of course, Wenjing would never blame her.

Wenjing didn't give her time to hesitate, and smiled naturally at the two of them: "Let's go, the hotel manager has prepared a bonfire meal for us, and Baima even roasted a leg of lamb for you herself."

Ding Heng remained calm and, as usual, reached out and pinched the little rabbit's cheek, gently tugging at it.

"Why didn't you just send me a message? Why did you have to come all the way here?"

"Waaaaah... I hate it!"

Wenjing's cheeks were distorted from his pinching, and she mumbled incoherently before raising her hand to slap away Ding Heng's hand and rubbing her cheeks.

“You didn’t reply. I contacted the hotel staff, and they said you came up to this boardwalk, so I came looking for you.”

Wen Shu stood a few steps away, quietly observing her sister and brother-in-law's interaction.

He had a vague feeling that his sister knew he was with his brother-in-law and was trying to explain to Ding Heng that she hadn't come looking for him on purpose.

The realization caused a repressed thought in Wen Shu's heart to rise another inch.

Wenjing took Ding Heng's arm, turned around and walked back the way they came, waving to Wen Shu.

"Xiao Shu, let's go, the food will get cold."

"coming."

Wen Shu responded and quickly followed.

As she passed Ding Heng, she lowered her eyelashes and quietly walked past him.

That thought lingered in her mind, growing larger and larger.

Does my sister already know something?

Or perhaps, she had already tacitly approved of something...

Chapter 333: The kitten is willing to accept defeat!

The mornings in Linzhi are very quiet, and Wenshu is the first to wake up.

She tiptoed out of bed without disturbing Baima, who was still fast asleep.

Last night, the little girl was so happy that she insisted on having a couple of drinks with her brother. In the end, she sprawled out on the bed, completely unconscious.

Wen Shu covered her with a blanket, then quickly washed up, put on her windbreaker, picked up her camera, and walked out of the detached villa.

The temperature in Linzhi was only a few degrees Celsius in the early morning, and the cold wind made her shiver.

But instead of going back to put on more clothes, she walked up the boardwalk back to the viewing platform from yesterday evening, ready to take another sunrise photo.

She re-set up the tripod, adjusted the settings, and aimed it at the distant snow-capped peaks.

"Click".

The snow-capped mountains in the morning light were breathtakingly pristine, but Wen Shu's mind was still a jumbled mess.

She repeatedly recalled the changes in her sister's expression at the time, trying to decipher some kind of emotion from them.

The white breath she exhaled was blown away by the wind, and Wen Shu slapped herself again and again.

It looks awful.

She herself looked like a disliked "younger sister" who couldn't keep her distance.

My phone suddenly vibrated. I opened it and saw it was a WeChat message from Ding Heng.

[Ding Heng]: Wake up so early?

Wen Shu was taken aback, turned her head and looked around, but saw no one.

[Lucky Little Shu]: Brother-in-law, how did you know?

[Ding Heng]: I was on the third floor when I saw someone carrying a tripod out.

[Lucky Little Shu]: Brother-in-law, why are you up so early too?

[Ding Heng]: Your sister kicked me off the bed, saying that I was snoring in my sleep and disturbing her.

Wen Shu knew that Ding Heng was talking nonsense.

Wenjing would never kick Ding Heng out of bed over such a trivial matter. With her sister's personality, even if she couldn't sleep because of snoring, she would just silently put on her headphones and would never disturb others.

The conversation ended abruptly, and when Wenshu turned back to take pictures of the sunrise, she realized that the best time had already passed.

Looking again at the unremarkable snow-capped mountain photo in the viewfinder, she sighed softly and didn't press the shutter.

……

In the room, Hua Qing also woke up along with Ding Heng.

The fairy's long hair was loose, and her clean face was still sleepy, giving her a touch of gentle humanity.

She asked softly, "How many days do you plan to stay in Nyingchi?"

Ding Heng pulled Hua Qing into his arms: "Why are you so concerned about this, senior?"

Hua Qing remained silent.

Ding Heng immediately guessed: "Long He contacted you? He wants to find out about me from you?"

Hua Qing chuckled softly, "You can see through nothing."

"What did you reply?"

"What else can I say but laugh it off?"

Hua Qing said helplessly, "I can't exactly tell her that you have four... five people with you right now, can I?"
