Chapter 41

On the mountain peak, the scenery was delightful, especially at night, as if one could reach out and touch the stars overhead.

On such a tranquil night, everyone gradually loosened up, shedding the restraint of the daytime. Laughter and conversations filled the air, and some had even started approaching Yu Nian for information about Li Xiang.

What?

You want his number?

No way, no way.

How can I give it to you? Forget it, you’re not the female lead, after all.

The CP head, Yu Nian, was determined to eliminate any obstacles that might affect the romantic relationship between the male and female lead. Shaking her head vigorously, she rejected once again, “I’m sorry, but I’m not really familiar with him, I’m not lying to you.”

After that, she saw the girl glance behind her, blushing, and then left.

This is strange; I remember it being here ah.

Yu Nian scratched her head, turned the bedding inside out, and still couldn’t find it. She even began to suspect if she had lost it.

Without much hope, she turned to the side where Liu Manman had already laid down and casually asked, “Manman, have you seen the mosquito repellent on my bedside? Chi Yao got bitten by mosquitoes and wants to use it.”

Liu Manman, who was initially wrapped in a blanket, moved a bit, slowly sat up, looking at Yu Nian with a regretful expression, “Ah, it’s with me. There were just too many mosquitoes a while ago, so I borrowed it. You don’t mind, do you, Nian Nian?”

Yu Nian was momentarily stunned, then smiled, “No problem, I don’t mind.”

“That’s good.” Liu Manman smiled, then with a hint of pleading, she asked, “Nian Nian, take a rest. I’ll take it to Chi Yao, okay?”

Liu Manman’s attitude changed too quickly, leaving Yu Nian momentarily dumbfounded. Observing the person in front of her, if she weren’t the female lead, Yu Nian would have suspected that she was some green tea¹Slang for someone who appears innocent and pure but is actually manipulative or cunning. that popped up from somewhere.

“Sure ah, go ahead,” Yu Nian waved her hand, seemingly indifferent.

Then, she saw Liu Manman take out her bag and start touching up her makeup in front of the mirror.

Thinking about Li Xiang, who was still outside getting bitten, Yu Nian couldn’t help but remind, “Manman, you better hurry. Chi Yao got bitten quite badly.”

Liu Manman pursed her lips, gave Yu Nian a faint smile, and replied, “Okay.” After that, she went out with a bottle of mosquito repellant in hand.

Watching Liu Manman’s departing figure, Yu Nian shook her head, feeling quite puzzled.

It’s pitch dark in the middle of the night, who is she putting on lipstick for?

Before long, Liu Manman returned, looking a bit pale. She stared at Yu Nian’s back with a hint of complaint in her eyes. She reluctantly took out a tissue and wiped off the overly glamorous red lips.

Originally, Liu Manman walked out of the tent with a heart full of girlish excitement, handing the bottle of mosquito repellant to Li Xiang.

Little did Li Xiang know, in the pitch dark of the night, when he saw Liu Manman’s excessively red lips, he thought she had also been bitten by mosquitoes. Fortunately, he kindly reminded her that mosquito repellant should not be ingested.

Liu Manman didn’t know what to say, so she could only give an awkward smile and nod in agreement.

However, Yu Nian was completely unaware of all this. By now, she had already lied down, listening to music, and gradually felt drowsy.

“Manman, good night ah.” Yu Nian, with her back turned to Liu Manman, didn’t even turn her head but sweetly bid her goodnight.

Liu Manman tried her best to keep a smile on her face and reluctantly replied, “Good night.”

The sounds of insects in the summer night forest were diverse as if playing a grand symphony. With the gentle evening breeze blowing from the mountaintop, Yu Nian had a night of sweet dreams.

The next day, Yu Nian was awakened by Li Xiang’s phone call.

When she opened her eyes, my god, it was only 5:30 am!

Is this guy crazy?!

Suppressing her morning grogginess and fearing that the ringtone might disturb Liu Manman, Yu Nian quickly grabbed her phone from under the blanket and answered.

“What’s up?” At this moment, Yu Nian, with sleepy eyes and a soft voice, sounded like a little demon who wanted to stay in bed and be spoiled, reaching Li Xiang’s ears.

Li Xiang’s heart trembled inexplicably upon hearing this. He steadied his breath and pretended to be calm, saying, “Didn’t you say you wanted to see the sunrise?”

As soon as these words fell, Yu Nian’s mind cleared a bit. Yesterday, she seemed to have said that she wanted to watch the sunrise this morning. She didn’t expect this guy to actually remember her casual remark.

“Is it rising?” Yu Nian suddenly became more alert.

“En, it’s about to. You can still catch it if you hurry,” Li Xiang replied.

“Okay, wait for me.” Yu Nian hung up the phone and hastily got out of bed, her hair messy. She had to tie it up, making herself look much neater than when her hair was loose.

As soon as she stepped out of the tent, Yu Nian saw Li Xiang standing not far away, facing the direction of the dawn.

After freshening up, holding bread and milk, Yu Nian with her bulging face walked towards Li Xiang.

However, as she approached, Yu Nian lifted her eyes and saw the eastern sky starting to dawn. The brilliant halo gradually rose. At this moment, Li Xiang sat alone on the ground, and his slender figure formed an extremely harmonious scene with the glowing light.

A thought crossed Yu Nian’s mind. She forgot about the bread, took out her phone, and crouched down to secretly take a picture. After snapping the photo, she couldn’t help but shake her head in amazement: My photography skills are too good. There’s no need for P.²Photoshop or editing to make the picture look good.

With a smile, this person approached Li Xiang, holding up her phone like a treasure, and handed it to him, “Look, is the picture I took good?”

Li Xiang lowered his eyes and took a glance. He couldn’t help but admit that Yu Nian’s photography skills were quite good. Whether it was the lighting coordination or the distribution of the scene between the person and the landscape, it was all well done.

Seeing Li Xiang silent for a while, Yu Nian was already used to it.

Cold and aloof ge? I get it, I get it.

So, Yu Nian considerately sent the photo to Li Xiang, saying, “No need to be shy; I’ll send it to your WeChat la.”

“It’s rising!” Li Xiang suddenly exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Yu Nian quickly turned her head and saw the sun gradually breaking through the clouds in the distance, slowly rising in the east. The bright and colorful halo spread around as if gradually casting a gentle veil over the still-sleeping world.

“So beautiful!” Unable to resist, Yu Nian took out her phone and started snapping wildly at the distant scenery.

Seeing this person’s excited expression, Li Xiang’s Adam’s apple rolled, and he spoke up, “Do you need me to take a photo for you?”

Li Xiang wasn’t someone who usually liked taking photos. Even though he was quite confident in his current appearance, the most he had ever taken was probably for ID photos since childhood.

Now, thinking about people of the same age, especially girls who probably liked taking photos, he asked Yu Nian if she needed help.

Yu Nian was momentarily surprised, probably not expecting Li Xiang to be so proactive. Then, she nodded decisively and gave Li Xiang a bright smile, “Yes ah, thank you la.”

With that, she handed her phone to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was very dedicated, despite his lack of experience. Following Yu Nian’s instructions, he took quite a few shots for her.

As for the quality of the photos, that’s another story.
