Chapter 986: 237: Do you want another slap? _3

Actually, she wasn’t here for review materials at all.

She didn’t even know what was wrong with herself.

After seeing Du Jiaojiao again, she couldn’t help but want to be near him, even if they didn’t speak, just watching him filled her heart with satisfaction. If he spoke to her, or even just nodded, she would get so excited, inexplicably happy, happier than if she’d won first place in her grade.

How strange…

Wu Yanyun covered her face with her hands, took a deep breath, stood up, and casually picked up a book of ancient poetry from the shelf. She flipped a page and, with a quick glance, she thought she saw this line:

“The hill has wood, the wood has branches; my heart delights in you, but you do not know.”

Wu Yanyun slapped her own face hard.

God!

What was she thinking about!

She couldn’t go on like this.

Du Jiaojiao was not someone she could even dare to think about.

But the more she tried not to think about him, his face kept appearing before her eyes.

With that thought, Wu Yanyun tiptoed and peered out the window into the courtyard. She saw Du Jiaojiao sitting under the Osmanthus tree reading a book. He was wearing a robe, his legs crossed casually, a posture that seemed effortless yet had a fatally attractive pull.

“A gentleman’s grace is like fine carving and polishing.”

“Thump thump thump–”

Wu Yanyun clearly felt her heart beating stronger and stronger, her cheeks burning. She quickly shifted her gaze and crouched down to continue searching for review materials.

Not caring whether the materials were useful or not, Wu Yanyun grabbed a stack and headed downstairs.

After lunch, Du Jiaojiao hadn’t forgotten about the rose field and pulled Ni Yang with her to take pictures in the Rose field.

“Yanyun, do you want to join us? You could take photos of us,” Du Jiaojiao looked at Wu Yanyun.

Wu Yanyun glanced at Du Jiaojiao from the corner of her eye, “I’m feeling a bit sleepy, so I won’t go. You and Sister Yangyang go ahead.”

“Okay then,” Du Jiaojiao turned to Wang Ziqi, “Ziqi, do you want to come with us?”

Wang Ziqi scratched his head, “Sorry, Second Miss, I need to deliver some fertilizer to Grandpa Zheng in the eastern part of the village soon.”

Grandpa Zheng was now so absorbed in clearing new land that he spent at least six or seven hours a day in the fields. Since coming to Jinghua Village, his complexion had darkened several shades.

Du Jiaojiao said worriedly, “What should I do then? If no one goes, who will take photos for me…”

Ni Yang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Sister Jiaojiao, I can take them for you.”

Du Jiaojiao responded, “But I wanted to take pictures with you too!”

Ni Yang continued, “For joint photos, it’s simple, we can set the camera to automatic shooting mode.”

“Sefies won’t look as good as photos taken by someone,” Du Jiaojiao sounded slightly disappointed.

“I’ll go with you,” Du Jiaojiao put down the Diamond Sutra he had in his hands and walked over.

Du Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up, thinking she had heard wrong, “Really?”

Du Jiaojiao nodded slightly.

“Great!” Du Jiaojiao hooked her arm into Du Jiaojiao’s, “Let’s go quickly then.”

Ni Yang followed behind them, and the three walked toward the Rose field together.

After a few steps, Ni Yang looked back at Wu Yanyun, “The rose field ahead is really beautiful. Are you sure you don’t want to see it?”

“No,” Wu Yanyun shook her head. She hadn’t expected things to suddenly turn out this way. She wanted to go with them too, but she had spoken too hastily. If she changed her mind now, wouldn’t it be too obvious?

Wu Yanyun insisted on not going, so Ni Yang didn’t press further.

The trio quickly reached the rose field.

Ni Yang, holding the camera, said, “Big brother Du, Sister Jiaojiao, shall I take a picture of both of you together?”

“Sure!” Du Jiaojiao exclaimed excitedly, still hooked on Du Jiaojiao’s arm and struck a pose.

Ni Yang took quite a few shots, Du Jiaojiao, like a tireless character from a story, keep changing poses and even picked a large bunch of roses.

After a while, Du Jiaojiao was finally satisfied and passed the camera to Du Jiaojiao, “Now it’s your turn to take a joint photo of us.”

Du Jiaojiao nodded slightly.

Du Jiaojiao then pulled Ni Yang in for more pictures.

After a while, Du Jiaojiao set the camera to automatic shooting mode and said, “This sort of opportunity is rare, so let’s take a joint photo of the three of us.”

She didn’t wait for Du Jiaojiao to agree, she fixed the camera in place, pulled Ni Yang, and hurried to Du Jiaojiao’s side, “Hurry, I only set it for 70 seconds.”

With a “click,” the camera captured the moment forever.

By the time they returned from taking photos, it was already after one in the afternoon.
