"Little guys, you can stay here and play slowly. My sister is going back to the hotel to rest."
Yae Shenzi put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up slowly.
With Gan Yu leaving, today's breakfast has come to an end.
"Miss Yae, don't you plan to continue shopping? Liyue Port should be very lively today." Jiang Ning mentioned casually.
"No more shopping." Yae Shenzi shook his head gently.
"Today is just a warm-up for a large-scale event, and tomorrow's Hai Lantern Festival is the highlight. Lighting of sky lanterns, fireworks displays...there are so many interesting things."
"So, I have to reserve enough energy to welcome the Lantern Festival tomorrow."
Yae Shenzi knows how to enjoy holidays. The most lively day of the year in Liyue Port is the Sea Lantern Festival.
On this day, every household comes out of the alley and lights the lanterns with good wishes written on them and lets them fly.
Densely packed sky lanterns gathered in the sky, forming a beautiful sea of light.
"Okay, then let's separate here." Jiang Ning said.
Now that Yae Shenzi has made his decision, he will no longer persuade him.
"Well. I wish you a pleasant journey today."
...
After that, Jiang Ning took Shen He to continue strolling along the South Pier.
Encountering a beautiful scenery, Jiang Ning deliberately slowed down and said to Shen He beside him: "Senior sister, let's take a photo here."
"Jiang Ning, what is taking pictures?"
Shen He blinked and asked in confusion.
"To put it simply, it is to use the mechanism to freeze the current moment." Jiang Ning explained.
“No matter how much time has passed, we can remember the present through photos.”
Jiang Ning took out the photo camera and pointed the lens at Shen He, who looked confused.
With a click, a photo quickly appeared in Jiang Ning's hand.
"Look, this is a photo."
He picked up the photo and showed it to Shen He.
Looking at himself in the photo, Shen He was amazed: "In just the blink of an eye, my appearance appeared on this piece of paper. This mechanism is really magical."
"This photo was not taken well. Let me take another one for you." Jiang Ning suggested.
"What should I do?" Shen He asked.
She had no experience taking photos before, and she seemed a little confused at this moment.
Jiang Ning turned the camera back to Shen He, and at the same time directed from behind the camera: "Just go to the left, just a little bit."
"Then look at the camera. It's the big circle directly above the mechanism."
Shen He silently followed Jiang Ning's words.
In the shot, Shen He is standing on the South Pier, with the majestic sea behind him, which looks very atmospheric. No matter how you shoot, it’s easy to produce a film.
But Jiang Ning always felt that something was missing.
I noticed that Shen He didn't make any expression.
When Shen He looked at the camera, his expression was neither sad nor happy, and he was very serious.
Her expression was too serious. This was not an ID photo.
"Senior sister, I said three two one, you said eggplant." Jiang Ning said.
"Eggplant? Jiangning, are you hungry?"
Shen He thought Jiang Ning had not eaten enough for breakfast just now and wanted to eat eggplant now.
"It's not that I'm hungry." Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head.
"In my previous world, people usually said eggplant when taking pictures."
"Because the pronunciation of eggplant will make the corners of the mouth rise slightly, the photos will look better."
"So that's it, I understand." Shen He suddenly realized.
"Everything is ready, the countdown begins, three...two...one!"
"eggplant."
Click.
Jiang Ning pressed the shutter of the photo camera, and a photo appeared in his hand.
This photo looks pretty good.
Although Shen He still looks a little nervous in the photo, his condition is much better than in the first photo.
"Senior sister, let's take a group photo?"
Jiang Ning positioned the photo camera and quickly ran to Shen He's side.
This photo camera has the function of time-lapse photography. As long as you find the right photo angle, you can free up the photographer's hands.
"You don't have to be so restrained when taking photos. You can just do whatever you want."
Jiang Ning looked at the helpless Shen He beside him and reminded him softly.
"I, I don't know what to do." Shen He shook his head.
She only knew the word taking pictures a few minutes ago, and it was really difficult for her to pose.
"Senior sister, look over there, there are people taking pictures over there." Jiang Ning raised his finger and pointed in a direction.
Not far away, a young Fontaine couple was standing in front of the pier taking pictures.
The girl under the camera smiled brightly and waved to say hello.
"You can imitate that girl's movements." Jiang Ning suggested.
"Okay." Shen He nodded lightly.
When she looked at the Fontaine couple, the girl's photo pose changed and she held the boy's hand.
Shen He took advantage of the gourd and quickly took Jiang Ning's hand.
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at Shen He beside him.
At this time, the thirty-second countdown ends.
As the photo machine clicked, a photo slowly fell to the ground.
This is the first photo taken of Jiang Ning and Shen He.
In the photo, Shen He looked at the camera seriously and held Jiang Ning's hand tightly.
"Senior sister, our group photo has been taken." Jiang Ning reminded.
Shen He woke up from a dream and immediately let go of his hand: "Sorry, I'm too nervous."
Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter. It's natural to feel uncomfortable when you first start taking pictures. Just take more photos."
"While it's still early, let's go shopping in a few more places, right?"
"Okay." Shen He nodded and agreed.
...
After that, the two of them visited many scenic spots in Liyue Port one after another.
Eat Huyan, Xuanxiang Kiln, three bowls are not enough, Adventurers Association...
By the time we finished visiting these attractions, it was already noon.
The two came to Wanmin Hall to have lunch.
"Good afternoon, big brothers and sisters, we meet again."
Xiao Xiangling stepped on her short legs and ran over immediately to deliver the menu.
She is not as tall as the dining table, so she has to climb up on the chair every time she hands out menus.
"Good afternoon, Xiangling." Jiang Ning reached out and touched the little one's head.
"Please wait a moment. My dad has gone out to buy groceries and will be back soon."
Xiangling blinked her big eyes and held up her facade like a little adult.
There is no way, during the Hai Lantern Festival, the business of Wan Min Tang is really good.
The food that Master Mao bought in the morning was all used up before noon.
Taking advantage of the lack of customers in the store, he took the time to go out to buy groceries, leaving his daughter Xiangling to look after the store.
Wow.
While Jiang Ning and Xiang Ling were chatting, Master Mao walked into Wanmin Hall carrying large and small bags of food.
"Dad, you're back." Xiangling hurriedly greeted him.
"Did you buy me a lantern?"
She made an agreement with her father that she would stay and look after the store, and as a reward, her father would buy her a Xiaolan.
"Xiao Deng? I forgot about this." Master Mao slapped his head and shouted.
"You are a bad father who doesn't keep his word, wuwuwu..." Xiangling cried sadly.
She had been happily hoping that Master Mao would bring back a beautiful Xiaolan, but her expectations were in vain.
"Okay, okay, Xiangling, don't cry. After Wanmintang closes, dad will buy you a lantern, okay?"
Master Mao knelt down to calm Xiang Ling's emotions.
"You promised me before that you would buy me Xiaolan lanterns when you went shopping for groceries, but you didn't keep your promise."
Xiangling remained unmoved and continued to cry profusely.
"Dad was wrong, and I really know he was wrong."
"That's it, let's cook fish for lunch today. I will only eat the fish head and let you eat the rest." Master Mao promised confidently.
"What kind of fish are you doing?"
Xiangling stopped crying and looked up at her father.
She won't be so sad only when food is mentioned.
"Fish head with chopped pepper."
As soon as she said this, Xiangling cried even more sadly.
Master Mao said she only eats fish heads, so doesn’t she have to eat only chopped peppers?
Seeing Xiang Ling crying pitifully, Master Mao stopped teasing her. He took out a Xiao Lantern from behind and placed it in front of Xiang Ling.
"Xiang Ling, look what this is?"
"Yes, it's Xiaodeng!"
"Dad, you didn't forget to buy me a lantern!"
Xiangling wiped her tears and smiled through her tears.
Children's emotions are like this, they come and go quickly.
"Of course. The first thing I do after I go out is to buy Xiaolan lanterns for you, and then I go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables."
"The reason why I did this is because I was worried that I would forget the agreement and that my little ancestor would be angry and ignore others." Master Mao laughed.
"By the way, you must be careful when playing with the lantern. You must tie it with a rope, otherwise it will fly away."
"I know." Xiang Ling nodded vigorously.
Jiang Ning and Shen He saw everything they said and did.
Shen He looked a little dazed.
Because once upon a time, she and her father lived in such harmony and happiness.
How did the family that was a good family turn into this now?
"Sister, are you okay?"
Jiang Ning noticed Shen He's low mood and asked worriedly.
"It's okay." Shen He shook his head gently.
After a short silence, she said, "Jiang Ning, I want to go back to my hometown."
