"Hey, hey, hey, stop playing around! Quickly follow the staff's instructions: boys stand on the left, girls on the right, taller people at the back, shorter people at the front. It's going to rain soon, a sun shower, and right now the sun is shining..."

With a headache like herding sheep, Teacher Ni dispersed the boys' group.

But at this moment, Lin Mo went in the opposite direction from the small group.

"Lin Heigou, why are you going to the right? Even though you were born there, we'll still accept you." Li Huowang was stunned.

"Haha, I'll go say hello to the teacher over there."

In these large group photos, there's always a row of teachers sitting at the very bottom. Li Huowang nodded, then was pulled along by P-chan.

"Oh dear, let's go, let's go. If there's no room later, I'll just let the black dog ride on my head."

But after the students from both classes lined up and the photographer set up his camera to start testing, they still couldn't see Lin Mo.

"Okay, let's take some pictures first, then the group photo. Guys on the left, you have a minute to get ready, come on, look at the camera..."

When the photographer called out, Li Huowang felt increasingly uneasy.

"Damn it, Lin Heigou fell into that latrine?! Did anyone see him?"

"I didn't see it..."

"What about people?"

"Holy crap! What's he doing with that girl?!"

Li Huowang was struck dumb. He and P-chan exchanged a glance, their pupils dilating in shock.

"It's a trap!!!"

Chapter 185 Living in the Eyes of Your Lover

"Teacher, Lin Mo is standing in the wrong place!"

Upon realizing something was amiss, Li Huowang panicked and immediately tattled to the advertising guy.

"Why is he standing over there with the girls?!"

"Ahem, you guys stand still, don't move around, it's dangerous up there, let me check..."

The advertising guy raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, first calming the group down, then looking in the direction everyone was pointing.

For the graduation photo shoot, the students stood on a tiered metal frame. The five girls and Lin Mo secretly went to the upper right corner to secure their spots.

Jiang Wanfeng and Hu Yu'en were below, Lin Mo was in the middle, Shen Yanxi was to Lin Mo's left, Chen Yajie was to his right, and Li Qingran was above him with her arm around his shoulder.

Lin Mo was surrounded by five girls, looking like a little chick. When he looked over, Jiang Wanfeng and Hu Yu'en even stood on tiptoe to block his way.

Teacher Ni's forehead creased with worry, but he was helpless against these people.

At this point, the students' minds cannot afford the slightest mistake.

These "good students" seem to have become fiercely protective mother hens, ready to fight anyone who tries to argue with them.

Old Ni never embarrasses his students too much, especially these few of his "high-achieving students".

Of course, these abstract little boys are also his students, even though they don't have any achievements...

Another thing is, these boys' mentality is constantly on the verge of exploding. If they fail an exam in the morning, they can continue crawling in the dark corridors in the afternoon.

Just a minute ago, she was complaining about having too much homework, but as soon as get out of class ended, she rushed to the podium to play on the all-in-one machine, watching suggestive videos or basketball and soccer games...

After weighing the pros and cons, the weathered old Ni had no choice but to turn a blind eye and give up on the boys' clique.

"Ahem, well, it's not good to change positions now, so let's just stand here. Anyway, it's a photo of both classes together, so it's fine."

"No way, teacher! Lin Mo is our best friend! If he's not in the graduation photo, everyone will be heartbroken! Ah P, quick, show the teacher how heartbroken you are!"

Li Huowang and Bao Jin gave P-chan two pork knuckles.

"Aaaaaah! If it weren't for the black dog, ahaaah!" P-chan started wailing.

But the teacher completely ignored this scene.

What happened next was even more terrifying: just as they were doing this, the photographer pressed the shutter...

"Click."

The group paused, realizing that their imposing image would be forever compressed onto that small piece of paper, becoming an indelible part of their youth.

“I heard the sound of a heart breaking,” Bao Jin said sadly.

"That's the sound of a camera shutter, you idiot." Li Huowang nudged P-chan as he walked around him.

"No, Wangzi, this is youth," P-chan said wistfully.

"Stop using Naruto references. Didn't you get enough criticism from your teacher last time for using the Rasengan in your essay to argue that quantitative change leads to qualitative change?"

"You're mistaken. Last time I wrote about the most common, most skillful, and most fundamental techniques in the card game 'Three Kingdoms Kill'."

"..."

"This is youth," Li Huowang sighed, glancing at where Lin Mo was in the distance.

"This beaver?"

“Wangzi, you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?” P-chan said earnestly, “Especially for those who raise fish.”

Li Huowang's expression was ferocious, his pent-up anger unresolved. He remained ferocious for a long while, finally letting out a sigh.

"Put them on, guys. The red noses in your pockets are something we'll have to prepare for ourselves in the end."

"Since we've already abstracted it, we can just abstract it again when we take the group photo later."

"Put it on!" Li Huowang said in grief and indignation.

......

"Was that just a small portion filmed?" Shen Yanxi asked, puzzled.

Before she could even react, the photographer had finished taking the pictures.

"Yes, the men and women will be photographed separately. There will be a small photo, and the group photo will be taken later," Li Qingran explained.

"Oh dear, I almost rubbed my eyes just now," Chen Yajie said softly. "If we're filming again later, they should call us to prepare, right?"

"I'd rather change positions than manage my facial expressions," Jiang Wanfeng muttered. "Why is it Li... she's in the center... I'm not shorter than her."

The "she" here naturally refers to Li Qingran. Jiang Wanfeng originally wanted to call her by her full name, but then she thought that things seemed different now than before. Everyone seemed quite friendly on the surface, and she also remembered that she had a glass of lemonade at Li Qingran's place the night before last...

Ultimately, I can't refer to her like others do, using terms like "Qingran" or "Qingran," so I'll just use the simpler "she" instead.

But the moment she said that, the atmosphere among the five women changed.

"Hmm...actually, I also really want to stand in that position~" Hu Yu'en echoed. The fox's strategy is not to take the initiative, but to take advantage of others' momentum, so that he doesn't have to bear the main responsibility.

Seeing that the backyard was about to catch fire again,

"Cough cough."

Lin Mo coughed, but it had no effect. He was completely ignored by the women, even his most devoted little darling, Jie Bao, didn't say anything, waiting only for Li Qingran's voice.

“This is the most dangerous spot,” Li Qingran explained. “There are no guardrails behind the scaffolding.”

"If you hold Lin Mo's head, he won't fall, and you can hold him while taking pictures..."

Jiang Wanfeng said sourly, "I'm standing at the very bottom, so it's hard for me to do anything. And that stinky man up there is such a coward, humph..."

"..."

"Feng, how about we switch seats that night..." Chen Yajie offered, taking the initiative to be friendly.

"No way... You're the shortest, and you'll be more easily blocked here. I just want to stand on top."

"Hahaha..." Shen Yanxi started playing the role of Lady Hahaha.

The girls talked and talked, and even though they all initially agreed that they wouldn't treat Lin Mo like a human being today and were prepared to give him the silent treatment, in the end, they all looked at him unanimously when it came to making a decision.

Just like a family always needs a pillar of support, even if they don't have much say in daily life, young women always rely on this jerk of a man when it comes to important decisions.

"How about rock-paper-scissors?" Lin Mo suggested a terrible idea.

"Then you can get out of here." Hu Yu'en glanced back at him with a forced smile, her expression somewhat sinister.

"Hehe, I can already imagine it. Every night, some big man makes us play rock-paper-scissors to save us trouble?" Jiang Wanfeng said resentfully.

“No, he’ll probably make five wooden cards and flip them every night to enjoy being served… Well, that’s just how he is.” Although Li Qingran was refuting Jiang Wanfeng, she was also supporting her in a way.

“Even the dog moms back home know that you can’t show favoritism to the puppies…” Chen Yajie said coquettishly.

"Who told him to be even more of a dog than a dog! Hehe!" Shen Yanxi actually quite liked this atmosphere of being surrounded and attacked, at least it was much better than a battlefield, with all the blame directed at Lin Mo.

"That's not entirely true..." Li Qingran retorted again. Before Lin Mo could even express his gratitude, he heard the aloof girl point her finger and say:

"My puppy is cuter, gentler, and more affectionate than him... He's not as affectionate. In short, using 'dog' to describe him is an insult to a puppy."

Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine; his little cotton-padded jacket was completely leaking air.

But after hurling insults, they stopped talking and ignored him again, treating him like he wasn't there.

No one mentioned changing seats anymore, because once you're in a position on those shelves, it's very difficult to move; they're packed with people.

The little argument just now was nothing more than jealousy and resentment towards Lin Mo's inaction; those girlish thoughts were at play.

After the photographer stepped back, he took out a megaphone and said, "Ah, ten seconds left, everyone adjust your expressions, okay? Everyone, look at my head, see? It's bald and very reflective, you can see it very clearly!"

His humorous remark made the students laugh.

"Hey you little red-nosed comrades over there, look over here! Don't move around, or you'll get blurry photos!" the photographer called out to the left, and everyone immediately heard a series of shouts.

"I have lost my beloved!"

"You have a way to die!"

"Aaaaaah! That old thief from Jiangnan, you can't get House!"

Another burst of laughter erupted, enlivening what could have been a somewhat melancholic activity like taking graduation photos. Even some of the teachers sitting at the very bottom couldn't help but laugh.

But the next sentence made them break down.

"Hey, you guy hiding among the girls over there, stop tickling them! What are you doing? Don't fool around standing so high up!"

"..."

The cheerful atmosphere suddenly froze a bit. Since they were students from two different classes, they all knew who was hiding among the girls.

Since all the teachers were already seated and ready to take photos, it wasn't easy to turn around and see who it was, except for Teacher Ni, whose face was ashen.

And it wasn't just those two classes taking photos on the playground. Students from other classes who had already finished taking their photos and were strolling around on their own all came over when they heard the news. The word spread like wildfire, and people came to see either the red-nosed clown or the legendary boyfriend who was said to be cheating on five women. The chatter was endless.

After all this trouble,

Chen Yajie couldn't take it anymore; her face flushed instantly, and she instinctively hugged Lin Mo's arm. Then, she heard a sound from below, "Ahhh, hug me!" which startled her, making her want to let go.

But Lin Mo grabbed her and pinned her down. Chen Yajie looked down at his profile and saw Shen Yanxi, who was also being held, giving her a silly smile to reassure her.

"Like this, Qingran, put your arms around my neck, you two hold my arms, and I'll put my arms around Wanfeng and Yu'en's shoulders..." Lin Mo said in a deep voice.

"Shameless!" Jiang Wanfeng looked up at him and hissed, baring her little tiger teeth, but she couldn't dodge his wrist as it struck her shoulder.

"Sigh, you really don't care about our reputation?" Hu Yu'en feigned pitifulness. "We're so miserable~ being taken advantage of by you, you bastard, in public~"

Li Qingran didn't say anything, silently leaning down as if she had practiced this countless times over the past few dozen days and nights, skillfully wrapping her arms around his neck. It was less of an embrace and more of a entanglement, because Lin Mo truly felt it was incredibly tight... almost suffocating...

Then, wait for the photographer's instructions.

"Three, two... Okay, look at the camera..."

"one!"

The expressions of the people, some serious, some solemn, some playful, under the sunlight, were captured in the camera.

In addition, a rumor circulated at the school:

When taking graduation photos, if you have someone you like or have a crush on, you'll never see the camera. You'll only be able to search for their eyes in the chaotic and noisy crowd, and then make eye contact with them the moment you press the shutter button...

Lin Mo originally just thought it was a silly joke from his youth; he'd filmed similar things back in middle school, and nothing like this had ever happened.

But now, when he catches the gazes from all directions out of the corner of his eye, he realizes that this was just a youthful joke.

It's not that they don't exist, it's just that there weren't girls who loved him this much before. They felt that the years of youthful memories weren't important; what mattered was the final memory with him.

Lin Mo could see,

Jiang Wanfeng was still breathing on his face, and the way he slightly turned his head while breathing on his face gave off a threatening, sidelong glance that was really getting cuter the more you looked at him. Hu Yu'en, on the other hand, pretended to be weak and looked at him with a furrowed brow. Her charm wasn't affected at all; instead, it perfectly captured the pure innocence of a little white flower.
