Chapter 403: 403 First Group Photo

The poses for photos in this era are so uniform that few dare to step outside the box.

Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou stood side by side, snap, one picture.

Another one of the pair sitting and standing.

Next, the young couple each took individual photos.

Lin Tang sat alone on a stool, sitting at a slight angle with a smile on her face.

Gu Yingzhou stood tall and straight, his deep-set eyes sharp, like a sword ready to fly out of its scabbard, full of elegance and grace.

The final shot was another one together.

Lin Tang sat on a high stool while Gu Yingzhou stood.

As the old master counted down to ’one,’ the young girl gently tickled the palm of the young man’s hand.

The handsome young man looked down with an indulgent smile while the young girl looked back with a sly grin on her face.

And with that, the moment was captured.

Even the old master was bewildered by their actions.

Usually, people stand as straight as they can for photos, with a rigid smile on their faces.

Were this young couple perhaps too comfortable with each other?

And who knew what the results would look like?!

If the pictures turned out well, that would be one thing.

But if they ruined his reputation, he’d have to give these youngsters a stern talking-to.

Lin Tang knew she had crossed a line and touched the tip of her nose guiltily under the pointed gaze of the old master.

She just thought those few photo poses were too stiff.

Gu Yingzhou stepped slightly to the side, blocking the master’s view.

He politely said, "Thanks for the trouble, master. Please develop three copies, an express order."

The old master glanced at the two youngsters.

They didn’t seem short on cash, so he didn’t bother to persuade them otherwise.

Drumming his fingers on the desk, he said to his apprentice:

"Take note of that."

The young apprentice responded crisply, "Yes!"

He bowed his head and began to scribble quickly.

Gu Yingzhou paid the fee, took the receipt, and left the photo studio with Lin Tang.

"...Where would you like to go next? Watch a movie maybe?"

Thinking of the visit to her partner’s grandparents in the next few days, Lin Tang had yet to decide on the gifts.

So, she shook her head.

"No, my feet hurt a bit, I’d rather go back and rest."

Gu Yingzhou glanced down at the shoes on the young girl’s feet.

To dress appropriately, Lin Tang had worn a pair of neat little leather shoes with heels.

Pretty as they were, they were not the most comfortable.

Gu Yingzhou looked around, there was nobody in sight.

He lifted Lin Tang by the waist with one hand and placed her on the back seat of his bicycle.

"...I’ll take you back to the guest house."

Before Lin Tang could react, she was put down.

When she came to her senses, she covered her face with a laugh.

She pressed her cheek against Gu Yingzhou’s back, her shoulders quivering slightly from her laughter.

Unable to help himself, Gu Yingzhou curled his fingertips.

Listening to the young girl’s muffled laughter, his eyes brimmed with amusement.

The journey back was silent, and the two quickly returned to the guest house.

Gu Yingzhou didn’t go inside; he watched Lin Tang’s figure disappear before he left.

Lin Tang returned to her room and began taking stock of the supplies in the System Space.

Since only the two elderly people were home at her partner’s place, she only needed to prepare two gifts.

According to current etiquette, bringing tobacco, alcohol, sweets, and snacks would do.

Lin Tang added some cooling oil and mosquito repellent she made herself on top of that.

She planned to borrow a kitchen to make some pastries for the old couple, to make sure the sentiment was just right.

The medicinal wine was something she had Gu Yingzhou take ahead of time, so she wouldn’t bring more this visit.

As Lin Tang pondered over the gifts for the visit, there was a knock on the door of her room.

She walked over and opened it.

A staff member from the front desk was there.

"Are you Comrade Lin Tang? Your partner asked me to deliver this ointment to you," the female staff member said with a smile.

Lin Tang felt warmth in her heart as she took the ointment.

She thanked her with a smile, "Thank you, comrade—just a moment."

After saying that, she took some candy from the house and gave it to the staff member.

"...Thank you for making the trip; these few sweets are for sweetening your mouth."

Seeing that the little girl was well-behaved and skilled in dealing with people, the female staff member had a better impression of her.

"It’s nothing but a small favor, and I’ll accept the candy.

I’ll be around these next few days, so if you need anything, feel free to come find me," she said politely.

Lin Tang figured she’d be staying here for several days and might need help with something.

She smiled and said, "Okay, my name is Lin Tang. How should I address you, comrade?"

The staff member with the surname Guo replied cheerfully, "My last name is Guo, and I’m a few years older than you, so just call me Sister Guo."

Lin Tang nodded.

"Sister Guo, I’ll be counting on you for these next few days," she said unabashedly.

Sister Guo liked those who were straightforward and not overcomplicated.

She immediately patted her chest and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help if I can."

"Alright then, I won’t bother you any longer, you go ahead with your work."

Having said that, she turned to leave.

She had only walked a couple of steps when she turned back.

"Your boyfriend is truly great, cherish him," she added another sentence.

There was no pharmacy near the Guest House.

For that comrade to have sent the ointment over so quickly, didn’t that mean he really cared about the young girl in front of him?!

Thinking of the sweat on the comrade’s forehead, Sister Guo couldn’t help but meddle and add that comment.

Before Lin Tang could say anything else, she had already left.

Lin Tang was momentarily taken aback but then her face broke into a sweet smile.

The curve of her lips was like it was coated with honey.

Zhouzhou was indeed very good!

She looked down at the ointment in her hand, feeling that the ordinary medicine box looked unbelievably beautiful.

-

Meanwhile, Gu Yingzhou returned home.

He had just parked his bicycle when a vivacious girl excitedly rushed up to him.

"Brother Yingzhou!!" Wan Manzhu, upon seeing her most favorite neighbor brother, greeted him with a beaming smile.

Her eyes emanated a burning adoration for Gu Yingzhou, as if trying to melt him with her gaze.

They were filled with infatuation.

Her heartbeat was so rapid; it felt like it might leap out of her chest.

However, the man’s face in front of her showed little change.

His features were even sharper, his gaze as cold and icy as frosted glass.

His presence was intimidating, yet undeniably magnetic.

Gu Yingzhou took a step back and looked at Wan Manzhu, his eyes flickering with confusion.

"...Who are you?"

Realizing that this person had called him brother, his brows furrowed tightly.

He felt uncomfortable all over.

He labeled the person in front of him as lacking self-respect.

"Don’t call me brother. I’m the youngest at home, and I don’t have a sister," he added coldly.

As his voice fell, he strode with long legs towards the house.

Wan Manzhu was dumbfounded.

It felt like her heart had been squeezed and wrung by a clenched fist, causing intense pain.

How could Brother Yingzhou treat me this way?!

It must be because he hasn’t seen me for years and no longer remembers me well, right! That must be it.

Once we get reacquainted, it’ll be fine.

With that thought, she stood still, psyching herself up for a while before following him into the house with a thick face.

Inside, the Grand Elder Ruan and the Grand Lady were both present.

When the Grand Lady saw her grandson return, she immediately glanced towards the door.

Not seeing Wan Manzhu, she hastily asked, "Yingzhou, Wan Manzhu came to the house, did you run into her?"

Thinking of how obsessed that girl Wan Manzhu was with her grandson, she felt a headache coming on.

Gu Yingzhou, who had just relaxed, tightened his brows once more.

He looked puzzled and said, "Who is Wan Manzhu? I don’t know her."

In the past, his mind was only focused on building his career.

Now his mind overflowed with thoughts of Tangtang, his family, and his career ambitions.

What did other people have to do with him?
