Chapter 326 Which celebrities do you usually photograph?
On the gate of a three-story modern Chinese-style building, the three large characters "Yingkelou" are written in a vigorous and powerful style.
The spacious front yard in front of the building is paved with bluestone slabs, and a small number of vehicles are parked in the corners.
On one side of the front yard, several elm trees stretched out their lush branches and leaves, rustling softly in the breeze.
Ji Meng stood under the shade of the tree, sunlight filtering through the leaves and falling on her in a broken and dappled pattern.
She stretched out her arms, slung her casual backpack over her shoulder, and said in a clear voice, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the trunk to get my sun hat."
After saying that, she took light steps and quickly walked towards the rear of the same model BMW.
The sun was shining brightly, and the wind was warm.
Yu Huan felt a bit hot, and her slender fingers deftly unbuttoned her trench coat.
After taking it off, he turned around, opened the passenger door, casually tossed it onto the seat, and then gently closed the door.
He turned around, looked at Lin Yourong who was holding a pair of sunglasses, and asked with curiosity in his eyes, "Wife, what's the deal with that guy just now?"
"This is Mengmeng's distant cousin. He works here. Mengmeng called him before coming here," Lin Yourong explained briefly, taking a step forward and gently tucking the sunglasses arm behind Yu Huan's ear.
Yu Huan lowered her head slightly, a bright smile appearing on her lips: "So you're saying you two don't have to pay to play here?"
At this moment, Ji Meng returned, smoothing her beige sun hat with one hand and gently pressing the car key to lock the car with the other.
Hearing this, he laughed and replied, "We only asked for two tickets. We definitely can't let them give us the extras for free. We still have to pay for them ourselves."
Yu Huan understood what was going on after hearing this.
Additional consumption is not limited to catering services. He had previously visited a fishpond where fish were sold by weight. Although the price was not cheaper than the market price, the fish could be directly sent to the kitchen for processing.
In addition, there are several other items that require extra payment.
Yu Huan raised her hand and gently pushed up her sunglasses. Without thinking, she took Lin Yourong's arm and looked back at the fork in the road they had come from.
He smiled brightly and said, "Let's go, let's have a good look around and see what's fun."
Li Qianqian caught up with him and walked on his other side, smiling as she said, "This place looks quite interesting. It's not just about farm-style food; it seems they also offer accommodation? The environment is so nice. If we could stay here for a few days during a long holiday and relax properly, it would be wonderful."
Ji Meng quickly stepped past the crowd, taking the lead and automatically assuming the role of tour guide.
She calmly continued, "Accommodation here is free of charge, but the single rooms aren't that great. It's best to book a private cabin if you're traveling in a group or with family. But to be honest, I don't think there's anything particularly fun about it."
Lin Yourong interlocked her fingers with Yu Huan's with her left hand, pulled her mask down a little with her right hand, and smiled as she said, "You're a local, of course you don't think there's anything fun about it."
Ji Meng raised her chin slightly and chuckled, "Mainly because I'm not very interested in this place, but that's precisely why I'm quite familiar with it, so I can be your guide."
The group walked at a leisurely pace.
Yu Huan looked towards the shallow pond to her left, her eyes full of curiosity: "I think this farm's ecological breeding area is quite large; they even raise ostriches."
Ji Meng laughed heartily and said, "So, do you want to eat ostrich meat? I can arrange it for you!"
Yu Huan withdrew her gaze, her eyes sweeping over the fence by the roadside, and scrutinizing a small group of ducks on the embankment.
He recalled the menu he had seen yesterday and said, "I think our company had a lunch gathering and there was a dish of stir-fried ostrich meat."
Without turning her head, Ji Meng turned and asked, "Then, Rongrong, what do you think?"
In just a few words, the group was now able to spot the ostriches in the distance.
Without hesitation, Lin Yourong shook her head slightly and said softly, "No need, let's just have some common farm-style dishes."
“Okay, you haven’t been here for years, I’ll listen to you today.” Ji Meng’s voice was filled with laughter.
As Li Qianqian listened to their conversation, a thought suddenly struck her.
Is the leader's wife named 'Rongrong'?
It has to be said that Rongrong always gave her a strange sense of familiarity...
Not sure, check again.
Yu Huan swayed her arms gently with her steps, causing Lin Yourong's arms to sway back and forth as well.
He noticed that Lin Yourong was keeping pace with him, and the two of them were walking in step with each other on the sunny road. He couldn't help but smile slightly and moved closer to her.
The golden sunlight shone on them, as if they were draped in a layer of radiance.
Ji Meng glanced back casually and saw the young couple standing side by side, and her steps faltered.
She turned around, raised her Buddha's Palm, and decisively shouted a single word: "Stop!"
Yu Huan slowed her pace slightly and asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Keep this pose, I'll take a picture of you two." Ji Meng said, slinging her backpack over her shoulder and looking down to rummage through it.
Upon hearing this, Li Qianqian decisively quickened her pace and nimbly walked to Ji Meng's side.
I watched as she took out a DSLR camera and lens, quickly assembled them, and then skillfully adjusted them.
Li Qianqian noticed the word 'SONY' on it and immediately asked with a face full of curiosity, "Sis, your camera looks really high-end. Are you a photographer?"
Yu Huan jokingly chimed in, "This lady is a professional-level photographer. Every shot she takes is a masterpiece. She usually specializes in photographing celebrities. Taking pictures of us is just a piece of cake for her."
"So amazing?" Li Qianqian's big eyes widened even more, her dark pupils seemingly sparkling in the sunlight.
"Yu Huan, stop bragging!" Ji Meng coughed slightly as soon as she finished speaking, raised her camera, and pressed the shutter instantly.
Just then, they caught Lin Youren's handsome face as he raised his right hand and patted Yu Huan's shoulder.
Hearing the shutter sound, Lin Yourong quickly withdrew her hand and glanced left and right.
There was only one small building with yellow walls and black tiles nearby, and no one else was in sight.
With a hint of inquiry, she asked Ji Meng, "Mengmeng, should I take off my mask?"
Ji Meng lowered her head, fastened the DSLR wrist strap to her wrist, and shook her head: "No need, the main focus is on documentary and candid shots. In short, we'll be shooting a six-shot burst anytime, so there's no need for special posing."
"Oh."
Lin Yourong responded and stood shoulder to shoulder with Yu Huan.
Ji Meng raised her camera, snapped another picture, and then turned around to examine the LCD screen.
Unintentionally, the four of them split into two teams.
As Ji Meng walked and took pictures of the scenery, Li Qianqian, standing beside her, asked with admiration on her round face, "Sister Mengmeng, which celebrities do you usually photograph?"
Her voice was full of curiosity.
Hearing this, Ji Meng put down her camera, smiled gently, and said, "Don't listen to Yu Huan's nonsense. I run a photography studio, and our main business is taking wedding photos and personal artistic photos."
"Artistic photos? So, is your studio in Changsha?" Li Qianqian's eyes widened.
"Yes, it's a small studio on Dongfeng Road, not a big photo studio." Ji Meng's tone was humble.
Li Qianqian pulled her beanie back to reveal her entire forehead and quickly said, "Sister Mengmeng, that's great! I'm planning to take some artistic photos during the New Year. Could you give me your phone number? That way I can contact you easily." Hearing this address, Ji Meng's face lit up with a bright smile: "Sure, take out your phone and write it down."
"Oh, okay." Li Qianqian quickly bent down and opened her small handbag.
Holding Lin Yourong's hand, Yu Huan overheard their conversation and said with a hint of teasing, "Ji Meng, you managed to close a business deal on your trip. You've got an unexpected bonus."
"This is called a confluence of causes and conditions."
Ji Meng casually agreed, taking the phone from Li Qianqian as she walked at a slightly slower pace, and skillfully entered her phone number and name.
Yu Huan led Lin Yourong to the left, walking along the fence.
He quickened his pace and soon bypassed the two of them.
The sky was as blue as a jewel, with fluffy white clouds floating by. Several large white geese frolicked in the shallow pond, creating ripples.
Yu Huan glanced back at Ji Meng and Li Qianqian, and seeing that they had already put some distance between them, he spoke in a relaxed tone in this peaceful and beautiful atmosphere: "Wife, why did I feel like you were a little angry with me before?"
Lin Yourong held Yu Huan's hand with her left hand, and with her right hand she pinched his arm, saying coquettishly, "If one day you see me standing so close to a man from behind, even with our arms touching, won't you be angry?"
Hearing the accusatory tone in Lin Yourong's voice, Yu Huan smiled and said, "I knew it—"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yourong twisted his arm hard and said, "What do you know!"
Yu Huan grimaced and quickly pulled her hand away: "I knew you were jealous."
Lin Yourong snorted.
She wanted to emphasize that even if they were all acquaintances, even if it was just a group photo, they shouldn't get that close.
Men and women should not touch each other!
But then he thought that this was a bit unreasonable, so he swallowed the words back down.
Yu Huan hurriedly continued to explain, "You know Uncle Li's daughter. She knows I'm a married man; it's just a photo opportunity."
"Oh, I used to play with her a lot when I was in elementary school. I haven't seen her for many years since I stopped going out to visit relatives with my parents..."
As Lin Yourong spoke, a hint of reminiscence and emotion flickered in her eyes.
The sun was shining brightly, and it felt a bit hot.
Suddenly, she let go of his hand and unzipped the thin down jacket.
Seeing this, Yu Huan subconsciously reached out and touched the high collar of the sweater, wanting to roll it down.
But then she remembered the hickey on her neck that hadn't faded yet, so she had to give up and casually asked, "Aren't you going to acknowledge us? It seems Uncle Li hasn't told Li Qianqian about my situation with you. But, we're keeping our marriage a secret now, so the fewer people who know, the less risk there is."
Lin Yourong caught a glimpse of his movement and chuckled softly.
She turned slightly to the side and affectionately wrapped her arms around his.
After a moment's thought, she said softly, "Whether she knows about our relationship or not is fine. The main thing is, I don't know what to say when the time comes... Let nature take its course..."
"It's been so many years, you seem a little estranged, don't you?"
Yu Huan couldn't help but smile and continued:
“When she wanted to take a photo with me before, she tried to get close to me by asking if I was a fan of Lin Su. She said that she and Lin Su were very good friends and that she would ask me to get an autographed photo for Lin Su when she came back for the Chinese New Year.”
Lin Yourong smiled and said, "In that case, let's not tell her for now, or she'll be so embarrassed."
Yu Huan nodded, recalling the expression on Li Qianqian's face at the time, and said with deep agreement, "Indeed."
The couple walked slowly side by side.
Lin Yourong suddenly asked curiously, "But, darling, how did you know she knows me?"
"Uncle Li told me that she used to play with you a lot when she was little."
Yu Huan gently pushed up her sunglasses, took a deep breath of fresh air, and continued leisurely:
"Then Uncle Li also told me that Li Qianqian is my little fan, and that she has a lively personality, and asked me to be more tolerant of her."
Lin Yourong reached up and lifted the brim of her hat, gave him a sideways glance, and said coquettishly, "Look at you, so smug. How does it feel to have a little fan by your side, to admire and worship you?"
Yu Huan pulled his arm away and put his arm around her shoulder.
I could keenly detect a hint of jealousy in her teasing words.
Yu Huan didn't risk her life by responding to her comment. Instead, she laughed and said, "In my heart, no one can compare to you, my precious darling."
"Mmm..." Lin Yourong hugged Yu Huan's waist.
Her mood changes were always evident in her words.
Having overcome this hurdle, Yu Huan felt a small weight lifted from her heart and let out a soft sigh of relief.
The couple walked side by side across the vast shallow pond, and ahead lay a small earthen slope covered with dense trees.
The area was also fenced off, and many chickens and Muscovy ducks could be seen flapping their wings, making a constant sound of clucking and quacking.
Below the small mound, besides the five ostriches kept in captivity, lies a large viewing area with pavilions and artificial hills for visitors to rest.
Yu Huan noticed the pond beside the pavilion, where withered lotus stems were emerging.
Although standing in the water looks a bit out of place, one can already imagine the breathtaking sight of lotus flowers in full bloom in summer.
This ecological farm is well-planned; it's clearly visible even from outside the farm and has a unique character.
There was still a road ahead, but since they had agreed to see ostriches, the two stopped at the fork in the road.
Yu Huan released Lin Yourong's shoulder and looked back, only to find Ji Meng and the others trailing far behind.
I saw Li Qianqian carrying a red plastic bag in one hand and a bottle of mineral water in the other.
These two people clearly made a purchase when they came across a convenience store.
Lin Yourong also let go of his hand and turned around to look.
She suddenly heard Yu Huan's slightly teasing voice: "Wife, I've suddenly realized that you really like it when I call you 'baby'?"
Thankfully I was wearing a mask...
Lin Yourong suddenly felt her face flush, and knew that she must be blushing.
He snorted lightly and said nonchalantly, "No way, call me whatever you want."
"Alright then." Yu Huan suppressed a smile.
A pure-hearted warrior who says one thing but means another, how adorable!
