"I'm sorry, it must look ugly when I cry, right?"
Xu Yu and Zhou Jinru were sitting on the grass nearby. Her mood seemed much better, maybe because she had just vented her anger, and her whole person changed from melancholy to cheerfulness.
Zhou Jinru sat cross-legged, twirling the grass stems with his fingers, shaking his head and saying: "No, crying is also a kind of self-regulation. People have their limits. The accumulated emotions need to be vented, otherwise it is easy to have a mental breakdown."
"That's it, thank you."
"You've said it many times, but I accept it."
Xu Yu smiled, and her face regained some color. After crying, she felt weak, and her smile was actually a bit thrillingly beautiful.
"You don't want to know anything?"
Zhou Jinru glanced at her and threw the grass stems into the distant puddle: "I'm not a bastard who likes to find out other people's secrets. Maybe one day you can choose to tell me."
"It will happen, you can be patient."
"I'm very patient in that regard."
The girl leaned on his shoulder, but Zhou Jinru was not happy at all, because Xu Yu definitely had secrets. Judging from her various actions, it seemed that she had a great connection with the Oia No. 4 decades ago. Maybe It is also related to him. No one can see through the mystery of fate. Their meeting in Pingpan was not accidental. He has experienced this kind of thing several times.
"Aguang, do you like taking pictures?"
"I don't like it very much. I have a boss. She always complains that my pictures are ugly. Maybe I don't have the talent in this area."
Amiya protested to Zhou Jinru more than once. No matter how beautiful a girl was, her appearance would be lowered by several levels if she caught his lens. In other words, his photography skills were terrible.
Xu Yu said indifferently: "Let's go find a photo studio."
"where?"
"The location of Xika Photo Studio is not clear yet, but as long as there is a name, you can find it. After all, Pingpan is so big."
Xu Yu's proposal was approved by Zhou Jinru. They could not stay in the mountains forever, so they took the opportunity to find a photo studio and returned to Pingpan.
More than an hour later, the two came to the door of Sika Photo Studio.
"This photo studio must have been around for many years."
Zhou Jinru stared at the photos and time scales left in the display counter. The earliest photo dates back more than fifty years.
Xu Yu pulled his sleeve and walked inside: "Okay, don't look at these things, let's take pictures quickly."
Under the guidance of the staff, Xu Yu entered the dim stage and pointed at one of the pictures and said, "I want this."
"this?"
Zhou Jinru followed and took a look: "Any questions?"
The background Xuyu chose was a large waterfall.
"No, there's no problem. Few people will choose this background."
The photographer was a middle-aged man. After placing the background of the waterfall, he looked at the two people standing in the shooting scene and suggested: "You can stand closer, not so far away."
"Is it appropriate?"
Xu Yu held Zhou Jinru's arm, leaned against him, and whispered, "It's pretty good."
"Look at me, yes, that's it, smile, eggplant."
Click.
The lights flashed, and the photographer stood up straight and said with a smile: "It's really good. It was a success. Please wait a few more minutes. It will be processed soon."
Zhou Jinru grabbed his hair and followed Xu Yu. The two of them waited in the front hall of the photo studio without saying a word.
At this time, a young man holding a camera walked in from the door, saw the two of them, and smiled shyly.
The photographer came out and introduced, "This is my son. He also wants to learn photography."
"Thank you," Zhou Jinru took the developed photo, "This is a very good profession."
"Actually, I have one more request."
Xu Yu asked: "What request?"
The photographer pointed to the display wall on one side, where there was an enlarged black-and-white photo of a man and a woman standing on the background of a large waterfall. Due to pixels and technical reasons, it was difficult to identify the woman's appearance, so she could only I saw that she had medium-long hair at the time, and the man was even worse, even wearing a helmet.
"This photo was taken many years ago. My father has not found a photo that can replace it. I want to put the photo you just took because it is so suitable."
Xu Yu asked doubtfully: "Your father?"
The photographer smiled and said: "The founder of Sika Photo Studio is Mr. Ector Henry. My father was an orphan adopted by him. Now this photo studio has been passed down to me. I hope my son can inherit it in the future. "
Suddenly realizing that the topic was about him, the young man lowered his head, walked out quickly, and soon disappeared.
"Aguang, what do you think?"
Zhou Jinru didn't have any ideas, so he said, "As long as you agree, I have no idea."
When leaving Sika Photo Studio, the photographer was so grateful that Zhou Jinru felt embarrassed.
Xu Yu walked in front holding the photo she had just taken. She seemed to have completely come out of her sadness, and her pace became brisk, like a happy little girl.
…
…
It was approaching evening, and Zhou Jinru was sitting alone in the bar in a daze, turning his head to look at the door in boredom.
At this time every day, people who come to the bar to have fun arrive one after another, and it only takes a few minutes for the place to go from deserted to lively.
Starting tonight, some fast messengers will appear here, but Zhou Jinru sat for two hours and still didn't get the message he wanted.
"One, two, three, how come no one knows where Rhode Island is staying?"
Zhou Jinru picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Through the light red liquid, he saw that the bar door was pushed open from the outside, and a man wearing a dust-proof coat walked in.
"A glass of warm water, thank you."
The bartender pushed a glass of warm water to him and took a sip with his white-gloved right hand. The man seemed to realize something and turned his head, meeting Zhou Jinru's gaze.
He came over with a water glass and said calmly: "Do you mind taking a seat?"
"please."
Zhou Jinru carefully looked at the man sitting opposite him. He had a dark complexion, thick black hair, and pigtails on the back of his head. He was wearing a dusty coat, but the most eye-catching thing was the strange-looking square ruler on his back.
"Miss Amiya is looking for you."
Zhou Jinru held the wine glass with both hands and sighed: "I'm waiting for you too."
"You need to be prepared."
Zhou Jinru's appearance was reflected in the man's dark golden eyes.
"What?"
"If you go back like this, there is a high probability that you will be taught a lesson. Doctor Kelsey won't say anything, but Miss Amiya's anger is already saturated."
Zhou Jinru was silent for two seconds: "Then I won't go back."
"You won't," the man smiled, but his smile was too mechanical and stiff, "Because I'm here, you can only go back with me."
