Chapter 120: The Straight Man’s Photography Skills

Only one day remained of the holiday. Wen Jiu, eager to go out and realizing she hadn’t taken photos in a long time, enthusiastically put on makeup and changed into a dress before dragging Gu Zehuai to the park.

She handed the camera she was holding to Gu Zehuai, asking him to take some pictures of her.

Gu Zehuai took the camera, unsure where to start. Gritting his teeth, he snapped a few shots and passed them to Wen Jiu.

The moment Wen Jiu saw the photos, her smile froze.

“How come I didn’t know I was only 1.4 meters tall… You should have crouched down a bit to take the picture!”

Gu Zehuai complied, but even then, the results left Wen Jiu speechless.

It turned out Gu Zehuai had his own weaknesses.

Frustrated, Wen Jiu took matters into her own hands and started taking selfies—she wasn’t about to waste such beautiful makeup!

Feeling well-meaning but powerless, Gu Zehuai silently ordered a few beginner photography books nearby.

After the photoshoot, the two went to the mall.

They had never gone shopping together before, and Wen Jiu’s shopping energy was formidable.

This was Gu Zehuai’s first time accompanying Wen Jiu on a shopping trip, and he found it novel, happily following behind her, swiping his card to pay.

Whenever he saw pretty clothes or jewelry, he would casually place them on the counter to be paid for.

The number of items needing home delivery grew steadily.

Wen Jiu glanced at Gu Zehuai, and once outside the store, she couldn’t help but ask, “Am I a big spender?”

If Gu Zehuai dared say yes, he’d be dead meat!

Smiling, Gu Zehuai looked at her seriously and replied, “Not at all, Jiu Jiu. Don’t worry about spending—I’ll make it all back!” Wen Jiu spoke with firm conviction.

Just as she was about to say more, Wen Jiu suddenly heard someone softly call her name from behind.

“Wen Jiu?”

The voice was faint. Doubting whether she had heard correctly, Wen Jiu turned around and saw Yu Keyan.

Yu Keyan was linked arm-in-arm with another girl, carrying several shopping bags.

The moment Gu Zehuai turned, the girl’s eyes lit up, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Yu Keyan’s arm.

Yu Keyan noticed the girl’s unusual behavior and frowned slightly, feeling a pinch from her.

She glanced at Gu Zehuai, her face expressionless.

But when her gaze returned to Wen Jiu, the familiar pampered look was gone, replaced by a subtle hint of expectation.

Though reluctant to admit it, Yu Keyan wanted to get along with Wen Jiu.

Wen Jiu sensed the change in Yu Keyan and smiled gently, taking the initiative to speak: “What a coincidence, you’re out shopping too.”

Yu Keyan saw Wen Jiu’s friendliness and smiled in return: “Unlike you, who’s got a boyfriend tagging along.”

Yu Keyan was not at all shocked by Wen Jiu’s relationship. After all, with Wen Jiu’s qualities, any man would be lucky to have her.

She hadn’t even realized how much her impression and attitude toward Wen Jiu had shifted, as reflected in their recent meetings.

When Yu Keyan saw Wen Jiu now, it was no longer the old, antagonistic stance.

Wen Jiu, sharp as ever, naturally noticed this.

Seeing Yu Keyan was with a friend, she didn’t linger and only said, “We should go shopping together sometime.”

Yu Keyan’s heart blossomed with joy, but she kept her composure: “We’ll see.”

Wen Jiu saw through everything, smiled, and turned to leave with Gu Zehuai.

Yu Keyan and the girl remained where they stood. The girl swung Yu Keyan’s arm excitedly: “Ah, that guy is so handsome!”

“Even if he’s handsome, he’s still someone else’s boyfriend. Don’t get your hopes up,” Yu Keyan reminded her.

The girl touched her nose, looking a little guilty and said nothing.
