Yukino's eyes lit up instantly, and a feeling of surprise welled up in her heart.
She examined the panda on the cake closely, as if she could feel its soft fur and warm breath.
Indeed, Mr. Pan is the most adorable creature in the world!
(Note: In Yukino's mind, this is the cutest thing, and it can be ranked alongside many other things.)
Then, her gaze shifted to Mr. Pan, who was holding the second cake.
Ok……
Although it's not bad, it clearly lacks the charm of the previous one.
Well, he's also a Mr. Pan, and if you look closely, his methods seem to have some similarities to the first one.
This feeling... is like the first person holding the second person's hand and teaching them?
It wasn't until Yukino met the second Mr. Pan that she finally remembered Yui's question.
She pointed to the second Mr. Pan and said to Yui without hesitation:
"This was drawn by you."
Now that we've guessed one, there's no need to say anything more about the remaining one.
"Wow, that's amazing! Yukino could even figure that out." Yui clapped for Yukino at just the right moment.
Sometimes, Su Qing really felt that it was a pity that Yui wasn't a comedian.
Yukino was actually a little guilty. She had subconsciously assumed that the poorly drawn one was Yui's work, but now the other girl was praising her so generously...
"Eat up, while the coffee's still hot," Su Qing kindly reminded him.
"Um, thank you." Yukino met Su Qing's eyes, but for some reason, she quickly looked away.
Just as she was about to swallow Mr. Pan's words with tears in her eyes, Yui suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said:
"Wait! We haven't taken the picture yet!"
Before Yukino could ask what she wanted to film, Yui quickly took out her phone, turned on the camera, and pointed it at the two Mr. Pans.
"Click"
"It's done, Xiaoxue, I'll send it to you now~ That way you won't have to worry about eating Mr. Pan!"
"Um, thank you..." Yukino stared blankly at Yui, a strange warmth welling up inside her.
"Hmm... I'll send it to you later, I'll edit it a little, hehe."
After saying that, she looked at Su Qing, waved the photos on her phone a couple of times, and asked:
"Xiaoqing, should I send it to you too?"
At first, Su Qing didn't understand the significance of this behavior. If it was just about filtering and retouching a portrait, it would be understandable.
However, he was somewhat perplexed when it came to retouching food photos.
No wonder people on the mainland always say, "Pictures are for reference only; please refer to the actual product."
However, looking at Yui's excited expression, he suddenly understood:
The filter isn't actually on the image.
It is a memory.
Memories, in themselves, are filtered through layers of lenses.
"I don't need it."
Su Qing shook her head and refused with a smile.
His phone's photo album never contained a single picture; he didn't need such a thing.
Even if he stayed, he wouldn't go to see it.
In fact, Su Qing has never had a comprehensive understanding of her extraordinary memory.
In his world and understanding, anything he wants.
It's reasonable to play back everything from the past frame by frame, like a movie.
It's unreasonable that sad things are always more memorable than happy things.
For him, there was no essential difference between the two; they were both firmly etched into the depths of his mind.
Besides, it's all in the past now.
Then why bother distinguishing between sadness and happiness?
No matter how colorful it was at the time, once it becomes a memory, for Su Qing, only black and white remains.
Black and white represent bleakness and powerlessness.
"Alright then." Yui muttered softly, then buried herself in editing the photos she had just taken.
"Is it alright?" Su Qing asked, watching Yukino tuck her hair behind her ear and take small bites of cake, like an elegant noblewoman.
“It’s delicious…” Yukino didn’t hold back in giving her evaluation, even though she had eaten cakes that were far better than this.
But at this moment, the flavors that fill my taste buds and the emotions surging within me have completely overwhelmed everything else, without exception.
"That's good." Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly pushed the rest of the cake in front of Yukino. Just as Yukino was wondering what was going on, he smiled and said:
"Eat more if you like it. These are all yours. Yui and I probably can't eat anymore."
A man's mouth, a liar.
It's not that Su Qing can't eat.
Just like before he encountered Mahiru's cooking, he thought that eating was an inefficient way to obtain energy.
So, he clearly didn't want to eat the cake, but adhering to the principle of not wasting food, he kindly handed it over to Yukino to handle!
However, Yukino didn't know this reason and believed it to be true. But because there was still a lot of cake left, she was a little stunned for a moment.
The understanding Su Qing noticed Yukino's concerns and kindly said:
"It's okay, even though you eat a lot, we'll still split the bill."
Upon hearing this, Yukino immediately became unhappy, and a frown instantly appeared on her forehead.
What do you mean by "I eat a lot"?
Listen to this, is this even human language?
You were the one who said you couldn't eat and gave it to me!
Moreover, is she the kind of person who worries about taking more money than she deserves?
Thinking about this, Yukino felt inexplicably angry. The emotions she had finally managed to calm down in the restroom resurfaced, and were even more intense than before.
So, under the table, Su Qing was kicked twice by Yukino...
But the force... was like a dragonfly skimming the water.
To be honest, Yukino's current behavior is just like a newborn tiger that gets angry, roars twice, and then is picked up by a passerby and raised as a special breed of cat.
[What is this guy doing?]
Sensing the anomaly under the table, Su Qing raised an eyebrow and looked at Yukino with a puzzled expression.
However, the latter did not offer an explanation, but simply took another big bite of cake.
Yes, it just so happens to be the piece with Su Qing's painting of Mr. Pan.
Su Qing smiled at Yukino's strange behavior but didn't say anything more. Meanwhile, Yui finished her photo editing project, swiping her phone screen a couple of times.
Sent successfully!
"Xiaoxue, I sent it to you!" Yui waved her phone proudly before putting it away.
"I received it... But I feel like Mr. Pan seems to have become even cuter?" Upon hearing this, Yukino opened her chat with Yui and immediately saved a picture of a cake with Mr. Pan on it.
Later, because of her fondness for Mr. Pan, she quickly noticed something different.
"I just did a little editing, but you can have the original image if you want it." Yui said, and sent the original image as well. Yukino accepted it without hesitation and saved it.
"Why did you send it to me too?"
……
Chapter 159 Rain, is Lonely [Snow]
"Why did you send it to me too?"
Faced with Su Qing's question, Yui chose...
They managed to get away with it!
"Oops, I accidentally sent it to you." Yui playfully stuck out her tongue, then started acting cheeky:
"Since you've already sent it, Xiaoqing, you might as well save it~"
"And it's quite interesting and has sentimental value, isn't it?"
Even a pig can become an immortal after cultivating for a million years.
Equivalent substitution.
Even Yui grows!
How could Su Qing not see that Yui had clearly done it on purpose? But he just sighed softly and didn't dwell on it too much. Then, right under Yui's nose, he saved the photo.
"Yes, that's right!" Seeing that Su Qing had saved the photo, Yui nodded in satisfaction and returned to her seat.
Compared to Yui's happiness, Yukino sensed something was amiss.
Su Qing doesn't seem to be very interested in photos?
A fleeting question crossed her mind, but Yukino simply assumed it was a difference between boys and girls. After all, it was common knowledge that girls were more enthusiastic about taking photos and editing them.
Just as boys are naturally drawn to toy cars and Transformers, girls are naturally drawn to cute things like Barbie dolls.
Of course, this is just a general trend and cannot encompass everyone.
However, one quiet night, Yukino, dressed in only light clothing, suddenly understood why all of this had happened...
"It's raining." Noticing the unusual activity outside, Yui was the first to speak.
Although October marks the beginning of late autumn, the rainy season seems reluctant to leave this small island.
Through the cafe's transparent windows, they saw the sky gradually darken, as if the whole world was shrouded in a thick black cloth, casting a gloom over the mood of the passersby.
Raindrops began to fall softly, pattering on the hard concrete and on the umbrellas of pedestrians, creating a melodious tune. Indoors, people felt a unique comfort and tranquility; the sound of the rain seemed to build a barrier for them, isolating them from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
No wonder so many poets throughout history have written poems about "rain".
Whether it is sadness, joy, worry, or happiness.
However, people indoors cannot stay in this small space forever; they are just passersby on a journey, and they must continue their journey before the rain stops.
and so.
Those who are meant to leave will eventually leave.
What must be faced will always be faced.
"Did you bring umbrellas?" Yui asked, looking at Su Qing and Yukino.
"I brought it." Yukino touched the umbrella in her backpack, thankfully she had it with her.
"Yes, I have one too." Su Qing always carries an umbrella when he goes out; it's a habit of his.
Although he always checks the weather forecast before going out.
However, as everyone knows, weather forecasts are the most unreliable thing.
"Hehe, it seems we both have..."
Upon learning that both of them had brought umbrellas, Yui smiled and then reached into her backpack to touch the spot where she kept her umbrellas, intending to take them out and show them off.
But the next moment, Yui's smug smile came to an abrupt end.
"Whose umbrella should we lend to her?" Su Qing asked.
"Let's see who lives closer to whom first," Yukino said, opening her phone's map app.
"Damn it! How did we start discussing who should lend me their umbrella?" Yui said indignantly.
