Lu Xing was very satisfied with her sudden clinginess.

It seemed that this trip was not in vain, at least Xia Han was more accustomed to the existence of her boyfriend.

By the time the two of them arrived at the hotel where Ivy was staying, it was already past three in the afternoon.

Lu Xing had no intention of getting out of the car. He just held his phone and sent a message to Ivy while saying to Xia Han, “I’ll just ask her to come down and meet her.”

“Actually, there’s no need to worry, just talk to her slowly.”

Lu Xing glanced at Xia Han, and before he could say anything, he heard the WeChat voice call prompt.

He stopped paying attention, pressed the connect button, and clicked on the speakerphone, saying: “The hotel is in the parking lot directly opposite. My car is parked there. I can see you when you come out.”

“I’ve given you your room number, but you don’t come up to sit down. You have to go down and pick you up? This time is different from before. My dad also said that I have to find you this time. Even if you don’t go to the competition, you still have to show your face. Otherwise, why do you think I made this trip?”

Ivy’s voice is very nice, even though the tone she speaks now is obviously sullen, but her lightness makes people think she must have the kind of appearance that makes people unable to be angry.

Xia Han was a little curious about what this Ivy looked like.

Lu Xing didn’t say anything, as if he didn’t like what she was talking about, so he hung up the call directly.

He frowned extremely tightly, and the air pressure around his body seemed very low. Xia Han had never seen Lu Xing look so unhappy, and even his gentleness was getting colder.

Probably because he felt the gaze on his side, the solemn expression on his face relaxed. He turned around and clasped her hand in his palm, rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb and playing with it.

After waiting for less than two minutes, I saw a woman walking out of the hotel door and looking towards the parking lot.

She was dressed a little thinly, wearing a pink silk suspender skirt and a long light gray seahorse hair cardigan and sweater. Her legs were bare, and she wore hotel slippers on her feet. She hugged herself tightly with both hands to keep warm. After scanning everywhere, she settled on their car.

This woman is beautiful. Before she gets close, Xia Han can feel the arrogant temperament lingering around her, like a princess loved by thousands of people, waiting to be admired and courted.

Her eyes were cold and tinged with a touch of disdain, but they were all deliberately directed at her. When she met Lu Xing, it was clear that her whole person had softened.

Lu Xing didn’t let go of her hand and sat in the car without moving. When he saw that Ivy couldn’t find anyone, he stuck his hand out of the car window and shook her at her.

Ivy stood in front of the half-rolled car window. After scanning Xia Han lightly, she looked at Lu Ling with a stubborn look on her face and said, “Go up and chat, or do you want me to stand here and stare at you in the cold wind? I won’t eat you.”

“Have you booked the flight back? When will you leave?”

“Are you going back with me? This time I told you that Master Mad’s exhibition area is in the area next to you. Even if you don’t participate in the competition or be a judge, you still have to show your face. You know how many new talents emerge every year. If you don’t show up, your existence will be forgotten. Now everyone is still supporting you, but someone behind your back has said that you are too frivolous, young and don’t know how to be humble…”

“If I go, how can I pass it if I don’t participate in the competition? I haven’t shown my face for so many years, and I will be a judge once I go. It will be even more dissatisfying. I don’t do anything but go to a solo exhibition. They are all old works, so how can I show them.”

“Then participate in the competition. I send invitations every year, and I have followed you. Have you ever seen me contact you to ask where you have been? Did my dad order you to go back? If you don’t want to participate, we will send it away for you, but aren’t you already able to take pictures? The photo you sent me seems to be okay.”

“Do you think you can get a ranking just by relying on photos like that?”

Ivy was silent, looking very angry at Lu Xing.

Xia Han’s eyes wandered between the two people, and he remained silent. Obviously, the current silence showed that the photos taken by Lu Xing were indeed not that good, but Xia Han clearly felt that the photos taken by him were so beautiful, and it was hard to imagine what they had to look like to be called good-looking.

Lu Xing never let go of her hand, and now he tightened it a little harder, as if he was drawing courage from her.

She quickly put her other hand towards the back of He’s hand and watched Lu Xing glance at her. Then, he softened his cold attitude and gave her another smile.

“How about you get in the car and chat first? It’s too cold outside.”

Xia Han looked at Ivy with goosebumps appearing on her neck, her hairs stood on end, and her nose was so cold that her nose felt a little cold.

She wanted to ease the tense situation between the two of them, but she only received Ivy’s cold glance. Finally, she said, “If you want to talk, go sit in the room and talk about it slowly. What’s the matter in the car? Putting aside the competition, my dad wants to see you during the Chinese New Year this year. He is sick. He just had an operation last month and was discharged from the hospital last week to recuperate.”

After saying that, she turned around and left without even looking back.

After Lu Xing watched her enter the hotel, he sighed and said, “Over the years when I learned photography from my teacher, he took care of me like a son. Apart from professional knowledge, he taught me many other things and principles.”

“Well, Lu Xing, let’s sit down and have a chat. In fact, I wanted to ask you before, why don’t you participate in that competition again. I have thought that you may not have the inspiration to take photos that satisfy you. I have also thought that it may be because you have already reached this height and know that you cannot surpass the past at your current level, so you will not plan to participate in the competition before you have the confidence and certainty to make a decision, right?”

As Xia Han spoke, he lowered his head and twirled the ring on his index finger.

Lu Xing lowered his eyes and stared at her restless hands, and exhaled heavily.

“However, I think the photos you took are really beautiful. Although I don’t understand the details, I just thought about it. Lu Xing, how did you feel when you participated in the photography competition for the first time? Were you sure that you would definitely win the prize? In the following competitions,Did you foresee that you would win the prize?What would happen if your ranking was not that good in the competition?After taking so many beautiful photos, don’t you have to show them to others so that they can know what kind of scenery you have seen through your eyes?”

Xia Han spoke leisurely, and listening to her slow speaking tone made Lu Xing feel less irritable.

He seems to always be able to find a feeling in Xia Han that can calm him down, relaxing and comfortable, just like the refreshing fresh air in the countryside.

Listening to her last words, he suddenly remembered the moment when he decided to learn photography.

At that time, he traveled everywhere, and many of his friends were envious of his kind of life. Everyone envied him for going to places they dreamed of going to. Whenever he went out, someone would ask him, is it beautiful there?How is it there?

What he can do is take pictures of the places he has been and share them with his friends, and send the scenery he has seen through social networks to his friends who cannot come here now.

Later, he felt that he could not record the beauty he saw with his mobile phone alone, so he changed his camera. Later, he became a teacher and began to formally study photography, which he has been doing until now.

This was his original intention of taking photos. What was the reason for the lack of life and human atmosphere?

Every time he picks up the camera now, he just thinks about reaching his own state of perfection. He forgets that some people simply don’t understand where the dividing line of perfection is. He only needs to see photos that can touch him. The so-called perfection is just a description of the skills of knowledgeable people like him.

“I’ll go with you. The Master Madder that Ivy just mentioned seems to be very powerful. It seems that it will be a pity if you don’t go this time.”

She suddenly remembered what she had not told Lu Xing yet, straightened her back, and said, “You couldn’t have stayed here forever, right? I haven’t told you yet. Maybe I will leave my hometown after the year. A colleague from the company called me and said that she had also resigned. She wanted to introduce a sales job to me and asked me to follow him after the year. I want to give it a try. If this job is available, I might not find a new job near my home.”

Xia Han actually hasn’t decided yet so quickly, because Lu Xing, she prefers to stay in her hometown because she wants to stay with him.

But now it seems that in order for Lu Xing to go to a better place, all she has to do is not to let herself be restrained here first, and then use herself to contain Lu Xing.

When two people are together, they want to develop in a more perfect direction. If they become worse and worse because of getting along, then what is the purpose of being together?

Lu Xing didn’t expect that Xia Han had already made plans.

He looked at her, his watery eyes staring at him intently, and his heart was shaken.

Maybe as Xia Han said, he shouldn’t continue to escape. Whether his photo is perfect or not is not something he decides, but the people who look at the photo decide.

However, he and Xia Hancai were dating and were about to separate?

“Are you going to put on your pants and deny yourself? I can afford you, Xia Han.”

“Oh, I like to have my own money and yours in my hands. If I only have your money, I don’t feel safe. But, Lu Xing, do you still want to renew the lease? Your house will expire in April. Time flies so fast. It will be here in less than two months.”

“I’ll give you the card when I go back, and you can calculate how long the money in it will be enough to rent.”

As soon as Lu Xing said these words, Xia Han’s fingers tightened suddenly.

She knew that Lu Xing had decided to go to the photography competition, to meet the Master Madam that Ivy mentioned, and to meet his teacher.

However, after he leaves, when will he come back?Or are you saying that you won’t come back?

Xia Han was unsure, but he had suggested it himself when he persuaded him to leave. Now he regretted it so quickly. Isn’t it a little too selfish?

She pursed her lips and suppressed the feeling of reluctance that surged in her heart. She just lowered her head, not wanting Lu Xing to see that she actually regretted it. Listening to heHe asked: “I will talk to Ivy about the details. If I am going to compete now, I am not sure if I can prepare a photo that I think is acceptable. When do you plan to interview your colleague for a job? Xia Han, do you want to come with me? Follow me to meet my teacher and take you to the photography competition. It should be too late to apply for a passport now. Just wait until a year later to apply for a visa.”

Lu Xing actually wanted to post Xia Han’s photos at that moment. In his opinion, every photo of her was so touching.

But from a professional point of view, it is better for he to keep these photos and enjoy them by himself. Only the photo of her naked in the bathroom can be taken out. However, he does not want Xia Han’s body to be seen by others, so he forgets it.

He has a better idea to do. Even if he doesn’t participate in the competition, he still has to go to the photography exhibition. This is all inspired by Xia Han.

Xia Han didn’t expect that he would invite herself to go with him.

She was shocked for a moment, and her heart became excited, but soon, she shook her head vigorously.

“I don’t know how long it will take after I finish applying for my passport and visa. You will come back anyway, right? Can’t I wait for you to come back?”

She didn’t have enough money to buy a plane ticket to go out with Lu Xing, and she didn’t want to use Lu Xing’s money all the time.

She was also testing Lu Xing, wanting to know if he was going to stop here.

Xia Han’s eyes flickered so hard that she couldn’t hide what was on her mind at all, especially when she was frightened and uneasy. Every time her expression looked like that of a stray cat abandoned outside on a rainy day, Lu Xing felt so distressed that his heart softened.

He leaned forward and kissed her forehead, then the tip of her nose, and finally landed on her lips, full of affection.

“Do you want me to go or don’t you want me to go? You look at me with such an expression, how can I be willing to leave? Why do you think I will never come back? The house has been rented and the money has been given. I am not the one who was taken advantage of, so I will not come to live here. But you, if you are sure to work there, will you move out again and not come back?”

Xia Han’s fur was smoothed by He’s kiss, and her heart became calm again. She and He pressed their foreheads, their breaths intertwined with each other, and said softly: “Probably, but I haven’t decided yet. Even if I decide to stay and work there, when you come back, I will definitely come to you immediately.”

“You really don’t recognize anyone when you put on pants.”

Obviously, she is the one who makes people worry that she will pat her butt and run away, and she also makes an expression that is so afraid that he will not come back.
