Little Yu took off his headphones, turned his phone around, and looked at me on the screen, "Look, the video of Brother-in-law showing his love for you last night has already been spread like crazy online, the entire world knows about you now!"
I took the phone. The video was taken and uploaded by the netizens everywhere. The video I saw was a composite version that had been edited. There were already tens of thousands of comments below.
"Wow, how romantic ~" Lou Anqi's curious expression had already turned into one filled with envy. "If my boyfriend treats me like this, I'll marry him in a minute."
Originally, I wanted to take turns driving with Lou Shaotang, but he noticed that I was too tired so he drove the whole time by himself. About four hours later, we arrived at the first stop of the trip, the small town of Giveni.
Located on a small hill in the Seine Valley, surrounded by lush woods and green pastures, it was a typical French village known for its Impressionist founder, Monet. Monet spent half his life here, where he created countless paintings, the most famous being the water lily series.
He had only seen it in art galleries before, and now that he was in the water garden, he felt completely different from when he looked at lifeless paintings.
Looking at the mirror-like water filled with pieces of duckweed and blooming white lotus flowers, I couldn't help but exclaim, "How beautiful!"
"Is this the legendary White Lotus?" Lou Anqi who was standing beside me teased.
I was stunned for a moment before chuckling. "That's true." He took out his phone, turned on the camera function, and froze the beautiful scenery in front of him. Then, he typed in Lou Anqi's words and sent it to his WeChat Moments.
Just as he sent it up, Shu Qiao instantly gave a Like and even wrote a comment: "Don't bring me along when I'm out, I'll come back and take care of you!" The expression of three knives was added to his face.
I couldn't help but laugh. Before I could reply, I received another comment from her. "Do you find the white lotuses by your side insufficient?"
I was amused and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Lou Shaotang, who was looking at the water lotus, turned his head.
I showed him my cell phone. His mouth curved into a smile, but he didn't comment.
"Little Yu, help me take a picture!" Lou Anqi said to Little Yu who was taking photos not too far away from him.
Little Yu turned a deaf ear and did not even look at her, he just continued to take pictures on the surface of the lake.
Lou Anqi ran over, and took out her own phone, "Help me take a picture!" She grinned brightly.
Little Yu looked at her and frowned, but did not reject and took her phone.
Half of Lou Anqi's body was leaning against the wooden bridge's railing, one of her feet was hooked onto it. She raised her right hand, extended out two of her fingers and made a "yeah" gesture.
"True Land!" Little Yu said in disdain.
Lou Anqi was unconcerned but she still maintained her position.
"Do you want to take a picture?" Lou Shaotang retracted his gaze from them and smiled as he asked me.
I shook my head. "No, it's stupid." This type of play was the least interesting. It even seemed like it was just showing off.
Lou Shaotang didn't mind and took out his mobile phone. He raised his arm and put his other hand on my shoulder as he leaned his head against mine.
Looking at his smiling face on the screen, I raised my lips.
So far, apart from the marriage certificate, the only picture I've taken with him is the one I took on the beach, but he's so uncooperative and impatient that we're all smiling sweetly and happily at the same time.
Lou Shaotang pressed the button.
After taking the photo, I saw that he was typing on his phone and thought that he might be busy again. I didn't disturb him and slipped into my WeChat, but I didn't think that Lou Shaotang would actually send a photo to my Wechat Moment, with only two words on the photo: We.
I'm surprised he never sent it before. It's the first time. And he replaced the picture with this one.
A sweet feeling flowed into his heart.
I looked up and met his affectionate smile.
"True Land!" I used Little Yu's words of ridiculing Lou Anqi to mock him, but my face was full of smiles, and I kept the picture into my phone.
Lou Shaotang obviously knew that I was saying the opposite, he raised my chin with his finger and said, "Let the earth be the dirt." He leaned over and kissed me on the lips.
I was about to close my eyes in response to his kiss when I caught a glimpse of a man with a camera aimed at us in the crowd twenty meters behind him.
My smile froze, and my heart skipped a beat. But in the next second, the person slowly moved the camera, his fingers kept pressing on the shutter and finally turned to face the lake.
My attention was pulled back. Lou Shaotang opened her eyes and left my lips.
"Are you ready?" He turned to Lou Anqi and asked with a smile like the spring breeze.
"Alright!"
Lou Anqi put her phone back in her pocket and quickly walked towards us with Little Yu following behind her.
"Then let's go."
Lou Shaotang held my hand and walked forward, I subconsciously looked back.
That person had disappeared!
My heart skipped a beat and I looked around.
"What are you looking at?" Lou Shaotang turned and asked me.
I happened to see the man at the other end of the bridge, holding a camera.
He really was thinking too much!
I heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at Lou Shaotang, "Oh, nothing much, I just wanted to see where I could take a few pictures."
Hearing my words, Lou Shaotang started to look around seriously.
"There doesn't seem to be anything else. Let's go." I took his hand.
Outside Monet Park, we found a small restaurant for lunch. Just as I sat down, Lou Anqi hurriedly asked me: "Big Sis Xiao Ying, did you read WeChat?"
"WeChat?"
Seeing her sneering, I slid open my phone doubtfully. The first photo that Little Yu took of Lou Anqi appeared on WeChat Moment.
"Guess who's behind the camera?" She wrote that there were five hearts after her words.
Below was Qiao Chenfei's comment: Girl, you're in love?
The loving tone made me think of his warm, affectionate smile. I didn't see him again after the anniversary party. I only got a message from him on WeChat asking how my injury was, and I replied that it was all right and that we hadn't had any contact since.
Looking down, it was Lou Anqi's reply. It had her style: Guess! A playful, tongue-stuck expression was added on her face.
I raised my eyes to look at her. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Little Yu, who was standing beside her.
Little Yu was looking at the menu and didn't notice her meaningful gaze, but I understood what Lou Anqi meant. She already told me clearly what she thought of Little Yu, and wanted me to help her.
But as I said, I didn't approve of their being together, so I just smiled and pretended to be confused and didn't pick her up.
Lou Anqi thought that I didn't understand her meaning and curled her lips. She didn't speak of it again, and turned to Little Yu and asked: "Little Yu, what kind of girl do you like?"
Little Yu was startled by her straightforward question, but his gaze was still on the menu, "Is it related to you?"
"Of course!" Lou Anqi said matter-of-factly.
Little Yu tilted his head and looked at her, "Not your type." His answer was also very direct.
"What type is that?"
Lou Anqi frowned and pouted her lips, as if she was trying to figure out what Little Yu was thinking.
I put down the glass of water. "Little Yu likes to keep quiet."
What I said was the truth. When Little Yu was in college, he once liked a girl, and I've met that girl before. Not only did she look very pretty, her personality was also gentle and calm.
Actually, what I said was also hinting to Lou Anqi that they weren't suitable and that Little Yu wouldn't like her.
"Ah?" "So it's like that." Lou Anqi curled her lips, obviously a little disappointed.
However, how could Lou Anqi's character be so easy to anger? After a few seconds, she raised her eyebrows and laughed, staring at Little Yu while asking questions. From what he liked to eat to what books she liked to read to hear what songs, places she liked to travel to, and so on. Those who didn't know the truth thought that she wanted to help Little Yu write a biography.
Little Yu was beyond annoying, but he still stopped Lou Shaotang and I from giving her an answer.
I couldn't do anything about her, and I was too embarrassed to say anything about her, so I let her continue to be irritable.
Seeing through my thoughts, Lou Shaotang said to her: "Quickly eat, it's so noisy! "If you don't shut up, then go back to school."
His tone was slightly strict, but Lou Anqi wasn't afraid of him. She stuck her tongue out at him and scooped up a spoonful of the Fruit Thousand Layer Sesame Seed from her plate, then stuck it next to Little Yu's mouth, "Little Yu, try this, how tasty is it?"
Unexpectedly, she would suddenly feed him something good. Little Yu was shocked, he retreated a few steps and raised his hand to block the spoon, "I don't like to eat this."
"Why don't you try it? The taste is really quite good."
Seeing that he was not going to eat it, Lou Anqi just kept holding the ladle. Little Yu looked at Lou Shaotang and me, sighing helplessly and opening his mouth to eat the Thousand Layers Sesame Seed.
His mouth moved two times, and his expression suddenly became astonishing, immediately picking up his own spoon, and scooping up the thousand layer cake on Lou Anqi's plate into his own mouth.
Lou Anqi was surprised for a moment, then laughed complacently: I didn't lie to you, isn't it delicious?!
She scooped up a spoon and put it in her mouth. But it was different from when Little Yu was eating it seriously and carefully, she was chewing it big mouthfuls.
Little Yu was a West Point Division, so he always had high requirements for candies. Very few things made him feel like it was worth a second bite. At the moment, seeing that he had almost finished all of Lou Anqi's thousand layer cake with one spoonful after another, Lou Shaotang immediately ordered another, but it was not for him, but for me.
"Sis, do you have pen and paper?" Lou Anqi's plate was empty. She picked up the tissue on the table to wipe her mouth.
"Nope." I shook my head.
He looked at Lou Shaotang, who also shook his head and fed me a spoonful of thousand layer cake.
"I do!" Lou Anqi said with an excited voice. Very quickly, he took out a thick notebook and pen, and pushed them in front of Little Yu.
Little Yu saw that the cover of the book had been pasted on top of each other. There were fancy three-dimensional cartoon dessert stickers and a big pink ball on the tip of the pen. The corner of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Lou Anqi moved closer, and placed her head on top of hers, "Wa, Little Yu, you're awesome! Just by eating a few bites, you will know what ingredients are put in the cake! "
Hearing Lou Anqi's exclamation, I wasn't surprised at all. Little Yu had this kind of Inherent Skill. No matter what kind of dish it was, he only needed to taste a little to know what it was made of and how it was done.
Little Yu finished writing very quickly, and just as he was about to tear off the page, Lou Anqi immediately pressed her hand on the book, "Hey, don't tear it! I'll give this book to you. I don't need it anyway, so you'll just have to use it to record your recipes from now on. " As she spoke, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile.
Little Yu's thoughts were very simple, and didn't have that much foresight, so he couldn't see it, but I could see it clearly.
I reached for the book. Not expecting me to do such a thing, Lou Anqi was stunned. When he reacted and wanted to stop me from looking, I had already opened it.
