Qi Yanxi might have appeared exasperated, but he turned out to be a rather attentive photographer.
Although, he couldn’t stop venting his sarcasm after each photoshoot. “Sheng Yize! You look so awful! Xiaxia must have been blind to agree to marry you!”
Sheng Yize ignored him every time. One day after another photoshoot, Sheng Yize took out his phone and gave Qi Yanxi an almost friendly smile. “Here, let’s take a picture together.”
Qi Yanxi flashed an eight-teeth smile at the camera out of habit.
Sheng Yize then uploaded the picture into an app. An Xiaxia moved closer and saw that it was for scoring how good one looked.
Here we go —
The picture was scored.
Sheng Yize on the left: 100 points. Qi Yanxi on the right: 95 points.
Sheng Yize sighed. “Gosh, I look awful.”
Qi Yanxi’s face almost turned green and An Xiaxia had a hard time keeping the smile off her face.
“What’s wrong with the company that made this app? It’s rubbish!” Qi Yanxi roared at the top of his lungs.
Sheng Yize blinked. “But it’s one of the apps the Qi Group developed.”
Qi Yanxi: “…”
“Hahaha…” An Xiaxia couldn’t hold it back anymore and laughed until her belly ached.
She had changed into her casual clothes and the white woolen sweater only made her skin look fairer.
Sheng Yize took off his own scarf, wrapped it around her neck, and asked softly, “What would you like to drink?”
“Anything will do.”
“Ok.” He rose to his feet and went to a nearby store.
Qi Yanxi sulked for a moment, then moved closer to pinch An Xiaxia’s cheek.
An Xiaxia cried out in pain. “Stop it! Hm… that hurts!”
“That’s the point!” Qi Yanxi guffawed. “Your husband pissed me off and I’m taking it out on you! Haha!”
An Xiaxia had nothing to say to his primary school reasoning.
The three of them had traveled to quite a few places in the past few days, covering half of the countries in Europe. Despite the mirthful look Qi Yanxi had been exhibiting the whole time, An Xiaxia still felt uneasy.
“You know… if you don’t want to do it, no one’s forcing you to.” After much hesitation, An Xiaxia finally said what had been nagging her.
Qi Yanxi rolled his eyes. “What? I didn’t say anything when you two lovebirds stung my eyes with your cuddling, and you’re picking on my photography skills now?”
“I’m not…” An Xiaxia said awkwardly. “You’re a great photographer.”
His pictures weren’t as proficient as professional ones, but in them, she and Sheng Yize looked exceptionally sweet and close.
One could tell that he had chosen the moments carefully.
“I see. You’re embarrassed to have me around, then.” Qi Yanxi whistled. “Xiaxia, you’re so easily abashed. Sheng Yize and I are perfectly fine about it, so why aren’t you?”
“Hm…” An Xiaxia was even more embarrassed when he put it that way.
It was as if she was imagining things…
Qi Yanxi smiled at her. “Sheng Yize is my best buddy and you’re the girl I used to love. Of course you two have my blessing! It actually means a lot to me to take your photos.”
An Xiaxia listened in amazement. She had never seen Qi Yanxi this way.
From what she remembered, Qi Yanxi had always been a diabolical and arrogant teenager, who wouldn’t hesitate to make fun of others.
However, he was more like a big brother next door now. He would drop a sarcastic comment here and there, but one could inadvertently feel his warmth.
“Hahaha! I got you with my emotional speech, didn’t I?” Qi Yanxi made a face at her. “Actually, I’m only here because I want to make Sheng Yize look bad in the photos!”
He was still guffawing, but An Xiaxia kept her gaze on him. Gradually, he stopped laughing.
