Chapter 64: The Inferior Person's Pretentiousness

  It's already past 12 o'clock, and Zhao Yang and his group had just finished lunch in the backyard of 'Qingquan Temple'. The vegetarian dishes in the temple were indeed refreshing and delicious, and not expensive. Six people ordered a full table of food for less than 300 yuan.

  "Qian Hao, help me take a few photos with Zhao Yang!" Mu Qinglan took out a camera from her backpack and handed it to Qian Hao, then pulled Zhao Yang to the railing at the edge of the cliff.

  "Are you ready? I'm going to take the picture!" Qian Hao said, holding the camera and aiming at Mu Qinglan and Zhao Yang who were leaning against the railing with their backs together.

  "Alright, let's get started! Don't forget to take a few more shots."

  Mo Qinglan wrapped her arms around Zhao Yang's arm, resting her head on his shoulder, with a big smile on her face and two shallow dimples on her cheeks, looking very cute and charming.

  Zhao Yang naturally leaned his head to one side, gently resting it on Mu Qinglan's forehead, with a faint smile playing on the corners of his mouth.

  "Ready, one, two, three!"

  A burst of shutter clicks, Qian Hao took several photos of Mu Qinglan and Zhao Yang before standing up straight and saying: "Alright, I've taken four or five shots, you two come take a look and see if they're satisfactory."

  "Ah! Qian Hao, thank you!" Mu Qinglan responded with a sound, pulling Zhao Yang to hurry over and run quickly, taking the camera from Qian Hao's hand and hastily looking at the photos that had just been taken.

  After looking at it for a while, Mu Qinglan nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, not bad. Qian, do you want me to help you take a few more photos with Guo Qianqian?"

  Qian Hao's eyes lit up and he said: "Great, great! I've been looking for this everywhere!"

  After finishing speaking, he cast his gaze to the side and said with a smile: "Qianqian, how about we also go over there and take a few photos?"

  Looking at Qian Hao's flattering smile, Guo Qianqian couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Let's go." She then walked directly to the edge of the cliff.

  Qian Hao heard this and chuckled, then hurriedly followed. After standing shoulder to shoulder with Guo Qianqian, he plucked up the courage to put his hand on Guo Qianqian's slender waist and gently wrapped it around her.

  Guo Qianqian's face turned slightly red, and she twisted away without offending Mian's face, but only pinched a handful of Mian's arm in shyness.

  Seeing the small movements between Qianqian and Hao, Mu Qinglan couldn't help but let out a giggle. Seeing that they had already posed, she quickly held back her laughter and helped them take photos.

  After Qian Hao and Guo Qianqian finished taking pictures, Zhang Dongcheng, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but glance at Mu Qinglan with some envy, and walked forward saying: "Mu Qinglan, let's take a picture together too. It's not often that we all come out to play together. Taking two pictures is also a kind of memento."

  Mu Qinglan glanced at him, not very willing to bother with him. This was not because Mu Qinglan was arrogant or anything, if it were an ordinary classmate, Mu Qinglan would have given them some face and wouldn't have refused. But this Zhang Dongcheng had ulterior motives, especially since Mu Qinglan had already hinted several times that he should stop bothering her, yet Zhang Dongcheng still insisted on clinging to her, taking every opportunity to pester her, which made Mu Qinglan very disgusted.

  However, in front of so many people, Mu Qinglan also didn't want to refuse too directly. After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth and said: "Since we want to leave a souvenir, let's take a group photo together. Find someone to help us take the picture."

  "Okay! Let's take it here then. Qianqian, go catch someone to help us take the photo!" Guo Qianqian said with a clap of her hands.

  "Alright, I'll go!" Qian Hao responded and immediately went to find someone to help.

  Next to Zhang Dongcheng, seeing his wish to take a solo photo with Mu Qinglan fall through, his face suddenly looked not too good. Especially when he thought of how intimate Mu Qinglan and Zhao Yang were when they took photos earlier. Although all the signs indicated that Mu Qinglan and Zhao Yang had an ambiguous relationship, Zhang Dongcheng still didn't want to give up, so he repeatedly put on a flattering face and tried to get close to Mu Qinglan. Unfortunately, he was destined to be a jinx!

  "Here comes, everyone stand up." After a while, Qian Hao brought over a young girl who was also here to play, and busily called out for everyone to take their positions.

  Mu Qinglan handed the camera to the girl and quickly stood among the crowd. Mu Qinglan had just stood still when she suddenly found Zhang Dong rushing over, even their shoulders were about to touch together, she couldn't help but frown.

  Just as she was thinking about whether to change positions, she suddenly felt a pair of strong arms from behind encircle her shoulders and hold her in his embrace, while also quietly squeezing Zhang Dongcheng, who was trying to get close, to one side.

  Mu Qinglan turned her head to look, and indeed it was Zhao Yang behind her. She couldn't help but smile sweetly at him and leaned directly against his chest. Zhao Yang also returned a smile to her.

  Then Zhao Yang glanced at Zhang Dongcheng beside him, whose face was ugly and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, but he didn't pay much attention to it and withdrew his gaze.

  Although Zhang Dongcheng is a bit annoying, he's still a classmate after all. Zhao Yang doesn't bother to pay attention to him. To be honest, it's not worth Zhao Yang's attention. The reason he hugged Mu Qinglan was just to tell him that Mu Qinglan is his "forbidden zone", letting him know to retreat and stop trying to take advantage of her by constantly hovering around her.

  After taking a group photo, Zhao Yang led the crowd to stroll around, with Mu Qinglan's camera in hand, basically taking pictures wherever they went.

  To say that Zhang Dongcheng is indeed a thick-skinned person, he even had the nerve to squeeze in when Mu Qinglan and others were taking group photos.

  Although there was money Hao and Zhao Yang's "protection" from time to time, it also completely ruined Mu Qinglan's enthusiasm for taking pictures. Fortunately, they were too lazy to take more photos, and just helped others take them instead.

  "What the heck, that Zhang Dongcheng is really not aware of the situation, even a fool can see the relationship between you and Qinglan. That idiot still wants to intervene, always trying to stick to Qinglan like a piece of dog shit. Dammit, what was supposed to be a fun trip was ruined by this idiot!"

  Taking advantage of going to the toilet with Zhao Yang, Qian Hao couldn't help but scold. Originally he still had some consideration for his classmates' face, but Zhang Dongcheng's behavior just now really made him feel disgusted and hateful. He had never seen such a shameless and despicable man.

  Although Zhao Yang also frowned at Zhang Dongcheng's behavior and was somewhat displeased, he remained relatively calm. He patted Qian Hao's shoulder and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with him. If you think it's not fun, then let's just head back early and we can hang out again next time."

  "Uh-huh." Qian Hao nodded. Finally, he couldn't help but burst out: "Damn it! Now every time I see that kid, I think of those words, 'Cheap people are just pretending to be refined', damn!"
