Chapter 3 Your Highness, let’s continue to cooperate! 4
In the center of the Kendo Club, Lin Chen and An Shengyi bowed to each other for the pre-match ceremony. After the referee read out the rules of the game loudly, An Shengyi, holding the wooden sword, suddenly entered another state!
I was stunned to see An Shengyi in the camera skillfully posing in a standard battle-ready posture. He held the wooden sword tightly in both hands, and his eyes suddenly became fierce! At this moment, An Shengyi was like a real warrior, staring at his enemy intently, exuding a terrifying aura!
I didn't have time to think about why this guy had such a strange change. My brain reacted instantly to the wonderful picture, and my hands unconsciously pressed the shutter button at a high frequency!
Inside the Kendo Club, everyone held their breath tacitly, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet!
The second the referee announced "start", Lin Chen stepped forward and quickly attacked his opponent who hadn't moved. Just as I had worried, the senior didn't hesitate or show any mercy! An Shengyi was doomed!
"Ugh..." I was so scared that I closed my eyes instantly, praying desperately that the big ice block would not be hurt. I also set the camera to automatic shooting mode.
"Snapped!"
The sound of a wooden sword being knocked down was heard, followed by silence, and then the fans screamed, "Wow! Awesome! Winning with one move!"
I sighed silently in my heart: See! I knew it! An Shengyi is too weak, he can't block a single move...
"Yes, yes! As expected of the 'Mysterious Prince', even his swordsmanship is so amazing!" The fans' screams continued!
I opened my eyes suddenly: "Mysterious Prince"? What happened? An Shengyi won?
I stared at the two people on the field in amazement: An Shengyi held the sword in one hand, his body only moved a small step forward, the long wooden sword was across the senior's shoulder, his face was calm, and there was no trace of disorder in his eyes!
The senior's wooden sword rolled to the side. He looked very sad but still had a smile on his face. He lowered his head slightly and looked at the fallen wooden sword. There seemed to be some surprise and loss in his eyes...
"An, An Shengyi? You...you won? Hahahaha! Big Ice Cube, you actually won!" I rushed to An Shengyi, grabbed his arm, and felt ecstatic!
"Nonsense! Since it's a competition, of course I have to win." An Shengyi looked at me with disdain, shook off my tightly grasping hand in dissatisfaction, and asked with a raised eyebrow, "Were you photographed? This time, I didn't hide from the camera!"
"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, and quickly checked the pictures in the camera, then immediately smiled and nodded, "Yeah! They are all in the picture! You and Senior Lin Chen are both in the picture! Wow! An Shengyi, this trick of yours is amazing..."
"I'm sorry for what happened just now." An Shengyi's slightly high-pitched voice suddenly interrupted my mumbling. I looked up in confusion and found that this guy was picking up the wooden sword on the ground and handing it to Senior Lin Chen with both hands! I was a little surprised by An Shengyi's politeness and modesty!
"No need to apologize. I'm also very happy to meet an opponent on Sakura today!" Senior Lin Chen took the wooden sword and handed it to the student beside him. Then he stretched out his hand with a sincere smile on his face, "Welcome to join the Kendo Club!"
"Actually, I'm not..." An Shengyi really wanted to tell the truth and refuse.
"He is very happy to join - thank you!" I rushed over, grabbed An Shengyi's hand and put it in Senior Lin Chen's hand, then smiled at the senior while staring at An Shengyi to get him to cooperate!
Hehe! As long as An Shengyi joins the Kendo Club, I will have more opportunities to sneak into the Kendo Club to secretly take pictures of President Lin Chen and the members! Haha, the Kendo Club has a large number of fans!
An Shengyi looked at me in confusion, but still shook hands with senior Lin Chen obediently!
"Student An Shengyi, you and classmate Tiantian seem to have a good relationship? Are you lovers?" Senior Lin Chen suddenly asked with a smile!
"Ha! How is that possible?"
"Humph! How is that possible?"
An Shengyi and I denied it in unison, then we glared at each other with disgust and anger, and then turned our heads away at the same time, "Humph!"
"Senior! How can such an expressionless and arrogant guy be my sweet boyfriend! What's more, he dislikes me for being materialistic, stingy, and immoral!" I thought of the previous quarrel with An Shengyi, so I angrily put my hands on my hips, pouted and glared at him!
"I'm telling the truth!" An Shengyi put his hands in his pockets and glanced at me, then said nonchalantly, "Besides, I'm not interested in female monkeys!"
"Ah! Don't call me a she-monkey!"
"Unless you stop calling me Ice Cube!"
An Shengyi and I are about to quarrel again...
"Oh, sorry, sorry! I shouldn't have guessed. It seems that you two are really not a couple!" Senior Lin Chen interrupted us with an apologetic look on his face, then pulled me away and said with a smile, "Tiantian, why don't you take a photo for us? I'll put it in the Kendo Club's notebook! Don't worry, I'll pay for it!"
"Haha, senior, please stop making fun of me! Don't worry, I will make sure to take a very handsome picture of you!" My face felt a little hot, and I looked at my senior embarrassedly, then walked away to find the best shooting angle!
In the camera, An Shengyi and Lin Chen shook hands in a friendly manner. The senior still smiled gently, while Big Ice Cube still had no expression on his face! I made an "OK" gesture helplessly, and then the camera showed the two of them shaking hands, hugging, and talking in a friendly manner!
What I found strange was that the senior and An Shengyi seemed to be talking about something. An Shengyi occasionally looked back at me, frowning, and his facial expression changed slightly.
However, what I am more concerned about now is that today's shooting was so successful. Today's "peak showdown" is a super rare match! The fans must really want it! Bidding auction, or mass sale? Hahaha, God, you are so good to me.
Besides, Big Ice Cube miraculously defeated the president of the Kendo Club. This guy's worth must have doubled again! Well, why not continue to cooperate with this guy? However, doesn't this guy look down on me...
The "peak battle" finally came to an end, and An Shengyi and I left the Kendo Club, avoiding the crazy fans chasing us. Because I was worried that this guy would suddenly faint, I took the initiative to ask to go home with him.
"Big Ice Cube, thank you today for helping me fix my camera, coming to return it to me, and helping me complete the task for my fans!" I rubbed against An Shengyi, counting on my fingers to thank him, and suddenly realized that this guy really helped me a lot!
"No need." An Shengyi gave his usual icy answer!
"Really?" I looked at him with some disappointment, realizing that I seemed to have no other way to help him except staying by his side to suppress his strange physique. What's more, this guy was annoying me because of secretly taking photos, and I couldn't even do the only thing of staying by his side...
"Uh, well, do you have a girl you like? I can take photos for you for free, and by the way, help you verify whether she is your 'true love's kiss'!" I sighed and asked him jokingly.
"Man Tiantian," An Shengyi suddenly stopped, turned around and looked into my eyes, his voice was unusually gentle, "In fact, that guy knew about your secret filming before."
"Huh? Who is it? Senior Lin Chen?" I looked at him in astonishment, not understanding why he suddenly changed the subject. Seeing An Shengyi's inquiring eyes, I sighed and answered him frankly, "I know, I can't fool Senior Lin Chen! However, Senior is a very gentle person. He knew I was taking secret photos all along, but he pretended not to see me and didn't bother me!"
"You know? Since he has no objection, you could have just asked to take a picture of him directly. Why did you have to use this not-so-nice method of secretly...?" An Shengyi looked at me in confusion, and rarely used a tactful way to say the word "secretly taking pictures" which he hated.
"Because it's not perfect!" I rolled my eyes at him and patiently explained to him, "Let me tell you, people's expressions and movements are most beautiful only when they are in their natural state! In my mind, a beautiful picture must not be one that poses or has a beautiful background, but one that captures the real side of daily life!"
I held the camera and expressed my thoughts with shining eyes, just like a painter enthusiastically explaining the story in the painting and the painter's passion to those who appreciate the painting!
"Hmph..." An Shengyi's chuckle suddenly interrupted me. I turned my head sharply and saw that the corners of this guy's mouth raised to a beautiful angle!
"Click!" My occupational disease mode was instantly activated, and I quickly captured the precious scene just one second before An Shengyi was shocked!
"An Shengyi, why don't you like to laugh? In fact, your smile is very sunny and warm..." I stared blankly at the picture displayed on the camera, talking to myself in a daze.
"Cough cough!" An Shengyi coughed unnaturally. He walked forward a few steps with his hands in his pockets, then turned around and looked at me quickly. The slight blush on his face was clearly visible!
"Hey! Take a look!" I chased after him with the camera in my hand and forced it to him to see, but this guy refused to even look at it!
I put away the camera in silence and started to chatter like a parent, "Life is so beautiful! We should face it with a smile! Look at me, although my grandma is the only relative left of me, and she is in poor health and often sick, I believe that as long as I work hard, everything will be fine! I will definitely take more photos and do more part-time jobs to make money to keep my grandma healthy!"
An Shengyi suddenly stopped, causing me to bump into his back before I could stop! He turned around and looked at me in surprise, with a complicated look in his eyes!
"Why did you stop suddenly?" I looked at him reproachfully, rubbing my head.
"Man Tiantian, are you an orphan?" An Shengyi suddenly asked me loudly. Then, a look of pain suddenly appeared on his face, and he whispered to himself, "So, you work so hard to take secret photos to make money, is it for your grandma..."
"What's wrong with being an orphan?" I rolled my eyes at him and answered him unhappily, then said firmly, "I'm living a happy life just as well! Hey! Why do you look so shocked? Humph, I don't need anyone's sympathy!"
"Idiot! I thought..." An Shengyi frowned, suddenly held my shoulders, looked at me straight, with a little apology in his eyes, "I'm sorry."
"Huh?" I frowned and looked at him in confusion, "Why are you apologizing all of a sudden..."
"I'm sorry for saying that you love money and blaming you for taking the photos secretly." An Shengyi's voice was gentle and low, like a light and magical song, which instantly soothed the grievances in his heart!
"Well, it's okay, uh, I mean you don't have to apologize..." I spoke incoherently, but I was slowly feeling touched in my heart!
"Please, continue to stay by my side!" An Shengyi suddenly said, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "Like I said before, I can pay you a salary, so you don't have to work so hard to secretly take pictures..."
I felt a little touched, but it disappeared in an instant! I interrupted him angrily, with a hint of anger : "Hey! You guy! I said I don't need sympathy! I can rely on myself!"
"Idiot, but you..." An Shengyi was still working hard on his "hiring" idea.
"No buts! Humph, I can promise to stay by your side, but you also have to promise me to let me secretly take pictures like before!" I glared at him relentlessly, deliberately saying the word "secretly take pictures" in a heavy tone, but I was laughing in my heart: Hehe, big gold mine, come into my sweet bowl soon!
"...Okay." An Shengyi finally gave in, a trace of frustration flashed across his face, and then he suddenly made a request, "But, no more weird activities like 'dating'!"
"Oh! Don't worry! That kind of activity will only make your fans hate you!" I waved my hands generously, and then said happily, "But you can't hide from the camera in the future! You have to let me take pictures obediently!"
"Hmph, sure." This guy actually agreed readily. I was just about to cheer when a teasing smile flashed across Big Ice's lips . He glanced at me and said lightly, "Unless I find out when you secretly take photos!"
"What? Hey! An Shengyi! This is not fair! You are more cunning than Senior Lin Chen! How could I not be discovered by you! Hey! Why are you walking so fast, dead ice cube..."
I followed this guy in frustration and kept protesting!
