Chapter 692: Chapter 682: Posted Photos on Social Media from the Outing

Passing through the Maple Forest, you can see the plum tree branches extending from the cliff.

Only a few flowers have bloomed sporadically, most are still buds.

However, if you want to walk over and enjoy the complete beauty, you must pass several large and irregularly shaped stones.

There are large and small gaps between the stones; judging by their depth, if you accidentally fall in, even an adult would have a hard time climbing up, let alone a child who hasn’t grown fully.

"Little Wuyou must have fallen down before."

I don’t know if they managed to climb up by themselves or if the old abbess noticed they were missing and came to rescue them.

But such a small challenge, Jiang Lingxi doesn’t take it to heart.

Releasing her hands, she rubs her hands together eagerly, "I’ll go first."

Shen Yunqing: "Be careful."

"Don’t worry." She said, as she precisely jumped onto the stone ahead of her, followed by a few more precise jumps, successfully reaching the endpoint.

Turning around, she waved to the person who had just breathed a sigh of relief at the starting point, "Come quickly."

Shen Yunqing took off the scarf from his neck and held it in his hand, pursing his lips with a serious expression as he jumped onto the stone.

Just as he jumped onto the last stone, he heard a ’click’ by his ear.

Instinctively raising his head, he met the lens of Jiang Lingxi’s phone.

Behind the phone, a smile shone as bright as the sun and moon.

"Look," waiting for Shen Yunqing to stand firmly, looking amused and exasperated, Jiang Lingxi turned the phone screen towards him and proudly said, "How is it, not bad, right?"

Glancing at the screen, which captured his posture preparing to jump, with some small actions he didn’t notice himself, now faithfully recorded by the camera, Shen Yunqing nodded against his conscience: "Not bad."

"Reciprocating, let you take one of me too. Just use this cliff plum branch as the background."

For him, it’s a candid shot, for herself, she carefully selects the background.

Indeed, that’s how double standards work.

Shen Yunqing took the phone and waited for the person in the frame to pose properly, then carefully chose the angle before taking several shots in succession.

This also prevents any unforeseen complaints if only one picture is taken and deemed unflattering.

Taking more gives options to choose from.

Jiang Lingxi flipped through the newly taken photos, "Not bad, looks like you’ve mastered boyfriend photo-taking skills without a teacher."

Shen Yunqing humbly said, "Your Majesty, you flatter me."

Perhaps the mountain air was too refreshing. From a distance, Xu Ling’an could still hear his sister’s laughter reaching his ears, so cheerful it lifted the mood.

Thinking about someone waiting in the woods outside, Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing wandered for less than half an hour before heading back the way they came.

Back in the Maple Forest, Jiang Lingxi eagerly dragged Xu Ling’an along to collect some perfectly shaped maple leaves and maple seeds for making incense before they descended the mountain just before sunset.

Back in the car.

"Still taking you back to the hospital?"

"Yeah, the doctor said grandpa will have another checkup tomorrow, and if all goes well, he can be discharged."

Jiang Lingxi was still hesitating about visiting Mr. Zhang, after all, it was different knowing about it now compared to before. Not visiting wouldn’t sit right.

But thinking about possibly running into Zhang Anfeng and the others at the hospital, she decided against it.

Since the old man had another checkup tomorrow and might be discharged, she figured it’d be best to skip the visit.

"Then I won’t visit in person, please send my regards to your grandpa."

Xu Ling’an nodded obediently, "Okay, sis."

Having resolved the major issue of her hand, Jiang Lingxi fondled her phone, feeling a newfound closeness to this little device.

She was always someone quick to accept new things, and enthusiastically so.

While Shen Yunqing was indifferent to phones, she couldn’t do without them.

A few days without a phone felt like losing something.

Now, with nothing else to do in the car, she simply fiddled with her phone eagerly.

Shen Yunqing glanced into the rearview mirror several times as he drove, each time wanting to say ’looking at the phone in the car affects your vision,’ but swallowed the words back.

Oh well, once or twice won’t hurt, better let Her Majesty enjoy herself.

Shen Yunqing’s inability to interrupt Jiang Lingxi’s phone enthusiasm led to Tong Yue accidentally stumbling upon Jiang Lingxi’s newly posted moments, rubbing her eyes in disbelief as her first reaction.

Someone who never posts moments suddenly posting one, this was rarer than thunder on a clear day.

After opening it and seeing the posted photos, Tong Yue didn’t even know what expression to make.

If she remembered correctly, Jiang Lingxi told her she had personal errands today.

Does this personal errand involve going out with her darling husband?

It didn’t look like they went to a park or amusement park; these photos seemed to be taken on a mountain.

Does she not realize the condition of her hand?

Even Mr. Shen didn’t offer some advice?

Forget it, over time she has come to understand.

He’s just someone utterly indulgent to his wife.

Clicking on Jiang Lingxi’s avatar, Tong Yue promptly typed: [Did you and Mr. Shen go hiking? Is your hand better?]

She knew Jiang Lingxi’s hand was inconvenient, and during this time, it was Mr. Shen who held onto her phone.

Conveniently, she not only wanted to ask Jiang Lingxi this, but also wanted Mr. Shen to see it.

Indulging shouldn’t be like this.

Jiang Lingxi froze for two seconds upon receiving Tong Yue’s message, then typed to ask: [How did you know?]

Tong Yue: "..."

She simply saved the photo she’d just seen and forwarded it.

[Isn’t this posted on your moments?]

Jiang Lingxi: [So it did share, what a surprise!]

The phone had just updated a new feature, allowing one-click sharing from the gallery.

She must have accidentally clicked it while flipping through the photos.

Having never posted moments before, she naturally didn’t realize it had synced there.

After hearing the explanation, Tong Yue: "..."

[Fortunately, it was only shared to moments. If it had forwarded online, I’d have to prepare public relations now.]

What’s more, the photo captured Mr. Shen in a very relaxed, unguarded state.

A single female, currently with no confirmed boyfriend, suddenly posting a male’s photo, which isn’t of an elder or younger, blatantly hints there’s something going on to the vast online audience.

In that case, as her agent, she’d be overwhelmed with the rapid increase in workload.

Wait a minute, she seemed to overlook something more important.

A few seconds later, Tong Yue smacked her forehead.

[Is your hand better?]

Surely, this wasn’t done by Mr. Shen, and nobody else would dare, nor have access to Jiang Lingxi’s phone.

Leaving only one possibility, it was done by Jiang Lingxi herself.

[Better.]

Though she couldn’t avoid some stiffness and the marks on the back of her hand were still slightly visible, being able to use it meant it was better in her eyes.

Tong Yue: [So quickly?]

If she remembered correctly, Jiang Lingxi’s hand wasn’t mobile just yesterday.

And now it’s only been a day!

[Today was specially to treat the hand, the effect was excellent. Hiking was just incidental. The plan to practise driving can be advanced.]

Talking about work, Tong Yue decisively dropped other concerns.

[Are you sure there’s no issue?]

[I’m sure.]

[Then I’ll drive over to pick you up tomorrow, still staying at Xiyuan?]

[Yes.]

After finalizing the driving practice plan with Tong Yue, Jiang Lingxi closed the chatroom, opened her moments, and saw quite a few likes on her recently posted moment.

Below were also comments from Lu Zhengzheng, Wei Minmin, Shen Chuyue, and others.

She originally intended to delete it, but seeing this now, she decided against it.
