Chapter 1712: Avoidance and Initiative

~14 min read 2,741 words

Although the south in October is still very hot, it is also a bit cool.

The breeze was blowing, and the sky was a rare fire cloud, reflecting the earth into red, and the faces of people were also covered with red clouds.

"You really have foresight, never forgetting to bring your camera wherever you go." Lin Luoxue held groceries in her hand, watching Wang Yan fiddling with his camera to take photos of Li Shuci.

"Who could have thought that we were fine when we went out, and when we bought vegetables and came out, the sunset was all over the sky," she exclaimed.

"I don't have any foresight, I just want to keep your beauty more, so the camera is always with me, in case I can capture it at any time. Or like now, good scenery, posing for portraits, are all memories of the future."

Wang Yan pressed the shutter, looked at the photos just taken on the screen, and said, "Don't wait for the distant future, maybe it's just three months, and you will feel another way when you look at these photos."

"You're right, I have a deep feeling," Lin Luoxue said, "Do you still remember the first photo you took of me?"

"The time the big money asked for a meal."

"I have to look at it from time to time. In just two years, I have changed beyond recognition and am not the original me. You are still the original you, still so lovable and hateful."

"Yes, I do owe you a lot. But fortunately, at least I didn't become a heartless person, and didn't live up to your grievances, right? Come, smile, you look like a housewife now, do you dare to think about it?"

"Of course I don't dare to think about it, I didn't even put on makeup!"

Lin Luoxue wore a floral long skirt with her hair in a ponytail, looking slightly gritted-teeth, and the grievance brewed by the previous few sentences hadn't dissipated from her eyes, yet the corners of her mouth pulled into a strained smile. Because of the backlighting, the sunset glow left traces on her face, truly pitiful and lovely to behold.

"Very perfect."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows at Lin Luoxue, then turned around and continued to direct Li Shuci to pose. By the way, he also took a few candid shots of curious passersby, and even used Li Shuci and Lin Luoxue as bait, letting them stand there, waiting for the passing passersby to look back, and he hid on the side to steal photos, which was very condemned by Lin Luoxue and Li Shuci...

"I'm doing this for art, you guys understand more," Wang Yan was shameless.

"Then there are those who sacrifice for art. Why, do you want to send us both out?"

Wang Yan slapped Lin Luoxue's butt: "What kind of tiger and wolf words are you saying? What is the difference between you two standing there for people to see and normal walking? Don't look for things with me here, destroy family unity, otherwise don't blame me for suppressing you at night."

"I couldn't ask for more~" Lin Luoxue smiled brightly, looking flirtatious.

Li Shuci curled her lips secretly, she would never learn Lin Luoxue's flirtatiousness.

The three walked slowly back, chatting and filming, and when they returned to the studio, only a remnant sun remained in the sky...

The studio now is completely Wang Yan's personal studio, and only he works here. Of course, it is to avoid the shameless things of the three from spreading out and ruining their reputation. After all, this is something that can be done but not said.

Only when needed, Wang Yan will let people come here to work together. For example, after finishing the documentary filming before, in order to end the post-production faster, he let the editor come here to work, and he himself served as the editing guide.

In the past week, after some re-filming, the production was basically completed. At present, the film is in the color grading stage, and then it will be handed over to all parties for review, and it will be completed after getting opinions and re-editing.

At the same time, Wang Yan also found another studio to handle office work for the others. That is a larger shop, which is already a full team for wedding one-stop service, maintaining a documentary style, and continuously making money for Wang Mouren. In terms of weddings, he can be said to have completely let go, and only occasionally goes to film for people when someone throws money or is in the mood...

Zhong Bai stood at the street corner, opposite was the studio where Wang Yan locked the door tightly. From her position, she could observe the opposite side well, and the opposite side would not easily find this side.

She came here after eating and walking, and she didn't know it. She hoped to see something, but she didn't want to.

When she arrived and saw the door locked tightly, she even breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know if it was for Wang Yan, or for her two roommates, or for the sake of morality not being corrupted.

The sunset in the sky was very beautiful, the breeze was blowing, blowing her hair, making her feel quite relaxed.

For a period of time, she had been quite entangled. Lu Qiaochuan walked out of her heart halfway, Xiao Haiyang swung his arms forward and entered an arm, but under her understanding and exploration, Wang Yan walked in unconsciously.

She didn't know what she thought about Wang Yan, but as she gradually understood, she always wanted to, and was more curious.

At this moment, looking at the sunset in the sky, the wind blowing on her face, many thoughts flashing in her mind were suppressed. At this moment, she was carefree, as if she had returned to her childhood without heart and lungs.

At that time, she didn't like Lu Qiaochuan, and she didn't understand liking...

When she came back to her senses, only the remnant sun remained. She looked at the studio opposite again, and saw Lin Luoxue, who should have left, holding vegetables in both hands, talking and laughing with Wang Yan and Li Shuci.

At the moment of seeing the three, Zhong Bai's heartbeat missed a beat.

She stared blankly at the three entering the studio, and her brain stopped running. This scene, she really couldn't believe it.

Li Shuci is very beautiful, quiet and studies well. If she wants to find a boyfriend, she will not lack one. Lin Luoxue doesn't need to say more. The male classmates who pursue Lin Luoxue can't count them, and she will never lack a boyfriend. Even the pursuit of Lu Qiaochuan, whom she likes, did not succeed.

At this moment, these two people followed Wang Yan, intimate, and the three of them seemed to be living together, and there was even a bit of warmth and sweetness.

Zhong Bai felt that the whole person was stupid. She didn't understand why Li Shuci and Lin Luoxue had to trample on themselves like this. Even if it was Lin Luoxue, it could be understood, why did Li Shuci still have to be like this?

However, what she didn't understand was that Lin Luoxue, who was looked down upon by her, went first. On the contrary, Li Shuci was the latecomer, a moth that knew the flames were burning but still threw itself into the fire.

By this time, Zhong Bai still didn't believe it. She thought, maybe it was Lin Luoxue who came over, and the three of them gathered together.

So she had been waiting on the opposite side until the school was about to close the dormitory door, and she didn't see Lin Luoxue coming out of it...

In the dormitory, Xu Lianqiao was already asleep, but was awakened by the movement made by Zhong Bai.

She watched Zhong Bai wash up in a daze, turn off the lights, drag her steps, climb onto the bed slowly, cover herself with a quilt, look at the ceiling and say nothing.

She couldn't help but care: "Zhong Bai, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

"I'm fine."

"Then why are you absent-minded? If you have something, you have to say it. If you hold it in your heart, you will be sick even if you don't have a disease."

"Thank you, Lianqiao, I'm really fine. Go to sleep, I'll be fine after a sleep," Zhong Bai explained.

Xu Lianqiao didn't say anything else and gradually fell asleep again.

Zhong Bai of course couldn't sleep.

She tossed and turned, and the scene of the three Wang Yan being as close as a family echoed in her mind.

The scene was clearly harmonious, but in her opinion, it was particularly split, making her unable to correspond the three with the images she originally knew and in her impression, and at the same time mixed with some sadness, sadness, and quite extreme disappointment that she couldn't say.

She didn't know if she was disappointed in the three Wang Yan, or disappointed in herself, or disappointed in her own hidden expectations.

At the same time, she was also thinking, Wang Yan is so rich, why is he still staying in the studio near the north gate of the school so un-meticulously? Even if he doesn't buy a house, is it difficult to rent a house elsewhere? There are so many people in the class, and he is also a popular figure. Isn't he afraid that other classmates will pay attention?

Why didn't he move away, why did he let her see it?

If she didn't know and couldn't see it, there wouldn't be so many troubles, making her unable to sleep...

After this incident, although Zhong Bai didn't talk much, she began to deal with Lin Luoxue and Li Shuci, and deliberately kept a distance from Wang Yan.

In the past, she would always smile when she met Wang Yan, and say a few words. Now she is avoiding Wang Yan, trying not to be in the same space, and not looking at Wang Yan. If she can't hide, she just smiles awkwardly, then moves her eyes away quickly, pretending to be nothing.

But on the other hand, isn't her avoidance a kind of attention? If she doesn't pay attention, how can she avoid it?

"Is Zhong Bai really found out? She has become so strange recently..."

In the cafeteria, Li Shuci and Lin Luoxue were eating lunch with Wang Yan. Li Shuci said so hesitantly.

"Perhaps... I know why."

Facing Li Shuci's inquisitive gaze, and looking at Wang Yan who was drinking tea quietly opposite, with his eyes always on the window, Lin Luoxue said, "When I came out of your room last night, I was bumped into by Zhong Bai."

"What?" Li Shuci widened her eyes, and her face turned red instantly, "Then what should we do? She won't know, right?"

Lin Luoxue was not in a hurry, but said with interest, "Anxious now? But I remember you weren't like this last night..."

"Oh, you're still talking," Li Shuci was anxious, her face was about to turn red, and she immediately punched the culprit in shame and anger, "It's all your fault!"

"Yes, it's all my fault."

Wang Yan admitted his mistake, and then comforted, "It's no big deal, it's you thinking too much. Zhong Bai just bumped into it unintentionally, thought of this possibility, but didn't want to believe it.

After all, this kind of thing sounds and looks acceptable in internet legends and videos on some websites. But when it happens around you, there is always a feeling of being shocked and moral corruption.

It is precisely because she doesn't believe it that she observes us. Where did she think that I, this person, am so shameless and shameless? So as long as we are the same as before, and not caught in bed by others, then it's fine.

There is still one year left, restrain yourself a little, and it will be a vast sea and sky in the future. According to the ending of the fairy tale, we live a happy life together without shame."

Li Shuci was even more ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but punch Wang Yan again.

After making a scene for a while, Li Shuci finally calmed down and asked with a guilty conscience, "Is it really okay?"

"I said it's okay, so it's okay. Put your heart in your stomach."

Lin Luoxue giggled, "Shuci, didn't you say before that Zhong Bai is very curious about Old Wang? If you are really worried, just find a way to drag Zhong Bai into the water, so you don't have to worry."

"Lin Luoxue!" Li Shuci stared.

"Okay, okay, I'm shameless," Lin Luoxue smiled, "But this matter, it's really hard to say. If Zhong Bai is curious again, and finally gets deeper and deeper..."

"Don't tease Shuci." Wang Yan shook his head.

"Old Wang, are you really just teasing?"

"Of course not," Li Shuci hummed, "Didn't I tell you last time, Luoxue, he doesn't refuse at all. He wishes that beautiful girls would throw themselves at him like moths to a flame."

Wang Yan shook his head and said softly, "Shuci, you and Luoxue must have confidence in yourselves. I am indeed weak-willed in this regard, but it's all about body and not heart. In the future, even if there are other girls, they will not be able to replace you and Luoxue in my heart."

"Shameless!" Li Shuci looked like a rabbit in a hurry.

Lin Luoxue just coquettishly, but didn't say anything else. In reality, she was the one who couldn't see the light, so she naturally didn't care.

Li Shuci was indeed very panicked at first. After all, no one had experienced these things. The miserable situation of being pointed at by thousands of people after her reputation was ruined was scary just to think about.

However, seeing that Wang Yan and Lin Luoxue were both very calm and not worried at all, her panic disappeared.

The three continued to drink tea and watch the rain by the window quietly...

In any respect, the matter between Wang Yan, Li Shuci, and Lin Luoxue was not a glorious thing, and it was also a curious thing. After all, the gossip that has spanned five thousand years is all in the rampant love affairs between men and women.

So Zhong Bai's curiosity, of course, couldn't stop. Even if she didn't delve into it for a while, she couldn't help but think of it after a period of time, and couldn't help but continue to explore.

It was when the rain cleared, everyone went outside for a picnic, first for leisure activities, and then for a barbecue party in the evening.

Li Shuci was cooling off under the shade of a tree, Lin Luoxue was making fruit salad there, and Wang Yan and Bi Shisan were holding fishing rods, wearing bamboo hats, holding umbrellas, and fishing by the river in the scorching sun.

Ren Yifan lay on the cloth under the tree, fanning with a fan, "I don't understand, how do you all understand the meaning of the four words barbecue party?"

Yu Hao sighed, "I have the same question."

Lu Qiaochuan lay on the side and yawned, "Of course it's the literal meaning."

"To be precise, it's to come out for barbecue at night," Xiao Haiyang added lazily.

Ren Yifan said in a dying tone, "Is that so? Then can you tell me why we are here in the heat under the sun now?"

Li Shuci explained on the side, "It was Bi Shisan who invited Wang Yan to come fishing first. Wang Yan agreed, so I decided to follow. Luoxue said that there was nothing to do anyway, so let's go out for a walk. It's not a big problem to be hot occasionally.

Afterward, Zhong Bai also said to follow, and Lianqiao had nothing to do, so she followed. Xiao Haiyang said that since we all came early, let's just bring everything. Lu Qiaochuan agreed, Brother Hao said he didn't want to stay alone, and Ren Yifan had nowhere to go and no one to accompany him, so he could only follow. So it became what it is now."
