Chapter 1451: Chapter 549: Romance in the Wilderness
Tong Xin turned her head to look in the direction he was pointing, and was momentarily stunned!
In the distance was an endless river surface, with a pier closer by.
A little nearer was a desolate dock, with weeds growing on both sides and a long narrow path in the middle.
Though the whole scene was somewhat bleak, there was an indescribable beauty to it!
Tong Xin admired the view for several minutes before nodding involuntarily: "Beautiful! Very, very beautiful! I’ve never seen such a beautiful riverside before!"
She then turned to Zhang Jingdong: "How did you discover this place?"
Zhang Jingdong teased, "Honestly, it’s my first time here too. I just had a feeling it might be beautiful, so I came."
"Actually, I think this is the true meaning of life. At first, we don’t even know where we want to go, and set off without any real plan. We encounter setbacks, hardships, but we also occasionally find delightful foods and beautiful places, and we pause for a while."
"But the most wonderful thing is when we unexpectedly meet someone we like, and come to a stunningly beautiful place together. In that instant, love becomes eternal."
"Throughout our lives, we might spend a lot of time enduring hardships, but we’ll also encounter unexpected beauty along the way. So, for these unanticipated wonders, we must live well and face every day cheerfully, embracing all that life offers us."
Saying this, Zhang Jingdong lightly flicked his right hand, revealing a small metal box in his hand.
"See if you like it?"
Zhang Jingdong handed the box to Tong Xin.
Tong Xin carefully opened the box to find all sorts of candies inside.
Zhang Jingdong smiled and said, "While I’m away, whenever you think of me, have a candy, and recall our sweet moments together."
"When I return and we meet again, you can’t say you’re not used to it and treat me like a stranger, can you promise that?"
The entire way here, Tong Xin first felt the thrill of speeding because of Zhang Jingdong, then was captivated by the beautiful scenery after getting out of the car, and now Zhang Jingdong gave her such a sweet gift, so at this moment she was very satisfied with Zhang Jingdong.
Plus, she already realized her own slow reactions were an issue, so she seriously nodded: "...Yes, I...I can do it."
Zhang Jingdong was moved: "Really?"
"...Really!"
Zhang Jingdong’s lips curled into a mischievous smile: "Then I must test it now?"
Tong Xin knew he was about to do something naughty, but right now she didn’t want to oppose him, so she nodded shyly: "...Yes."
"You didn’t even bother to ask how I’m going to test you and agreed so readily, looks like you’re truly prepared?"
Tong Xin’s eyes flickered slightly: "...Yes."
Zhang Jingdong then wiped her mouth gently: "Don’t worry, I won’t touch you, I just want to take some photos of you...but you must cooperate completely, understand?"
Tong Xin was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit relieved.
Although she had forced herself to be ready to accept, this was still outdoors, so for those few seconds, she was very conflicted inside.
She didn’t want to upset Zhang Jingdong, nor did she want to completely lose her self-esteem.
Seeing Zhang Jingdong wasn’t going to do that, she was instantly at ease, secretly adding points in his favor.
She nodded directly: "Understood."
As long as it wasn’t that, she could accept anything.
Then Zhang Jingdong said: "To help you unleash your nature, let’s start with a Komachi series."
Tong Xin was instinctively puzzled: "Komachi series? What do you mean?"
Zhang Jingdong gazed intently at her: "Think about it carefully...it’s literal!"
Tong Xin and Zhang Jingdong stared at each other for a few seconds, then she suddenly understood and blushed deeply.
Zhang Jingdong saw she got it and immediately asked, "What, can’t accept it?"
Tong Xin bit her lip: "...No, I can!"
Saying that, she swiftly did as told.
Zhang Jingdong was satisfied with her promptness, then took out his camera from the bag.
Before long, they were ready.
Zhang Jingdong looked through the lens and said, "Start with some poses you’re comfortable with from before, when you’re ready, pose."
Tong Xin hesitated a moment, then struck a few poses she was used to.
"Click, click..."
Zhang Jingdong found the perfect angles, continuously pressing the shutter.
Although Tong Xin’s poses were ordinary, as a top photographer, Zhang Jingdong caught her beauty perfectly.
Then Zhang Jingdong said: "Alright, now follow my instructions, get in the car."
Tong Xin exhaled quietly, then followed along.
Zhang Jingdong looked through the lens again: "Hands on the wheel...yes...slowly turn and smile...yes!"
"Lean forward slightly...yes!"
"Click, click..."
Zhang Jingdong took another round of photos.
He checked the shots and continued: "Now turn around, sit backwards."
Tong Xin cautiously did as told again.
"Slowly lean back...good!"
"Click, click..."
He glanced at the shots.
No lie, he was incredibly excited, wishing he could do something right then.
