Why is the system taking my request to photograph a cosplayer seriously?

Chapter 43: My Second First Kiss

Back at the hotel, Zhao Yanxi got out of the car, but stopped after taking only two steps. She turned around, grabbed the car window, and stared longingly at Ding Heng in the driver's seat.

"Brother Ding Heng, are you free tomorrow?"

"What's wrong?"

"My salary will be deposited into my account tomorrow."

Zhao Yanxi's eyes were bright, and she said proudly, "This is the first time I've earned money on my own. I'm thinking of buying some gifts for my parents. Will you come with me to pick them out?"

"How much did you earn?"

"Hmm...it's 2500 in total."

Zhao Yanxi counted on her fingers: "Jingjing plans to work until the end of the month, and she'll earn 800 more than me."

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"besides!"

Zhao Yanxi added, "By the way... could you take some more photos of me? As a memento before I go to university."

What style of photography do you want to shoot?

"Keep it a secret!"

Zhao Yanxi winked at him: "Anyway, see you tomorrow!"

After saying goodbye to Zhao Yanxi and returning home, Ding Heng washed up and lay back in bed. After thinking for a moment, he decided to send a message to Wen Jing.

[Ding Heng]: Your sister came to Xingcheng to see you today?

【Lucky Little Jing】: Mm-hmm. [Little rabbit nodding.jpg]

[Ding Heng]: How is everything at home?

Ding Heng guessed that things must have gotten really out of hand at Wenjing's house, and the little girl couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, so she ran away to find her second sister.

[Good Luck Xiao Jing]: It's okay, Xiao Shu is just playful and wanted to come to Xingcheng for a stroll... Everything is fine at home.

[Ding Heng]: If anything happens, be sure to tell me or Yan hope in time. Don't keep it to yourself.

【Good Luck Xiao Jing】: Mm! [Cute little bunny.jpg]

[Ding Heng]: Good night.

[Good Luck Xiao Jing]: Good night!

After putting down his phone, Ding Heng fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Ding Heng arrived at the lobby of the Chujiang Hotel on time.

Just as he sat down in the rest area, a pair of slightly cool little hands suddenly reached out from behind and gently covered his eyes.

"Guess what I'm wearing today?"

Zhao Yanxi leaned forward slightly, resting her chin on the top of Ding Heng's head, and said playfully, "I'll give you three chances. A prize for guessing correctly!"

Ding Heng thought for a moment, then guessed cooperatively, "JK?"

"wrong!"

"So... a cosplay outfit for a certain game character?"

"That's not right either!"

Ding Heng pretended to be deep in thought: "It can't be Hanfu, can it? That wouldn't be convenient in this heat."

"Still not right!"

Zhao Yanxi, like a light butterfly, hopped and skipped to Ding Heng's front.

"Clang clang!"

Ding Heng looked up and smiled calmly.

Standing in front of him, Zhao Yanxi was not wearing her usual elaborate makeup or trendy clothes.

She was bare-faced, with clean and radiant skin, curved eyebrows and eyes, and a natural pink lip color.

He was wearing a very ordinary blue and white domestic high school uniform, with an oversized jacket and dark blue athletic pants with white stripes on the sides.

Her long, misty purple hair was tied into a neat high ponytail, swaying gently with her movements.

Pure, beautiful, lively... full of the unique vitality of an eighteen-year-old girl.

Ding Heng chuckled, "You've already graduated, why are you still wearing your school uniform?"

Zhao Yanxi tugged at her wide sleeves and sighed with emotion.

"If I wear this again later, I won't look like a high school student... Let's wear it one last time while we still look the part and take some photos to remember it!"

After saying that, she immediately grabbed Ding Heng's arm and rushed out of the hotel, shouting, "Hurry, hurry, time is precious!"

Ding Heng took Zhao Yanxi to several well-lit and clean locations near the hotel to take "school uniform" photos of her.

Facing Ding Heng's camera, Zhao Yanxi struck various poses, some playful, some obedient, and some melancholic.

Finally, he took out a pair of black-rimmed non-prescription glasses from his bag and put them on, saying that this would make him look more like a top student.

After taking the photos, the two headed straight to the downtown commercial district.

"Brother Ding Heng, what do you think of these leather shoes? My dad's feet are a bit wide, would this style be more comfortable?"

"What about this skincare set? My mom has sensitive skin, are the ingredients gentle?"

Zhao Yanxi carefully calculated the 2500 yuan she had worked so hard to earn.

Ding Heng patiently stayed with her, only offering advice occasionally to prevent her from getting too caught up in her worries.

By evening, the gifts were finally all bought, and Ding Heng drove Zhao Yanxi, who had been busy all day, back to her hotel.

Zhao Yanxi sat in the passenger seat, looking down as she counted her "spoils of war" for the day, muttering to herself.

"Shoes for Dad...skincare products for Mom...hair clip for Jingjing...hmm, all done!"

"Did you spend all 2500?"

"More or less!"

Zhao Yanxi carefully put the things away, then suddenly turned to the side and looked at Ding Heng mysteriously.

"Oh, and there's also a gift for you, Ding Heng!"

"Am I involved too?"

"Of course, close your eyes!"

Ding Heng glanced at her and closed his eyes as instructed.

The next second, a sweet fragrance wafted over me, followed by an extremely gentle, cool and soft touch on my lips.

Like a feather gently brushing past, touching and then separating.

Ding Heng opened his eyes again. Zhao Yanxi had already returned to her seat, her face flushed, but she tried to remain calm.

"How is it? The vanilla-scented lip balm, is it delicious?"

Ding Heng gently wiped his lower lip with his fingertip, a slightly cool and sweet scent still lingering on his lips.

He couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Zhao Yanxi pretend to be bold despite her obvious shyness.

This girl is just like a cat; she'll come up to you every now and then, tease you, and hiss a couple of times, all just to get your attention.

Appropriate "punishment" might actually be a reward for her!

Ding Heng jokingly replied, "It was too fast, I didn't even get a taste."

Zhao Yanxi blushed even more, glared at him coquettishly, and said in a resentful tone, "If you really want to eat, don't always make the girl take the initiative."

Before she could finish speaking, Ding Heng suddenly unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned sharply towards the passenger seat.

Zhao Yanxi felt a sudden darkness before her eyes as a strong masculine presence enveloped her, and then she was firmly pressed against the back of the chair.

The next second, Ding Heng lowered his head and kissed the girl.

Unlike last time in the hotel lobby, when I had to deal with Tang Hainuo's stiff "performance".

This time it's real, warm, with undeniable power, lingering and patient.

Zhao Yanxi's brain went blank, her hands unconsciously gripped the car seat tightly, her fingertips trembled slightly, and her mind went completely blank.

A surge of heat rose from the base of her spine and quickly spread to her limbs and bones, making her feel weak all over and her heart pound so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.

That's right!

The last one didn't count at all!

This is what a first kiss should feel like!

After an unknown amount of time, just as Zhao Yanxi felt she was about to suffocate, Ding Heng slowly stepped back.

The two remained very close, their noses almost touching, and their breaths could be clearly heard.

Ding Heng stared into the girl's misty eyes and asked, "Is that enough?"

Zhao Yanxi was still immersed in the afterglow, her mind was dizzy, and her heart was still pounding like a drum. She nodded almost subconsciously.

"Would you like to do it again?"

"No...no...anymore."

The kitten, which had been hissing just moments before, became docile again.

Zhao Yanxi finally realized that Ding Heng was neither the "good person" her father judged him to be, nor the "bad person" she had hoped for.

He can be a "warm man" who adheres to his principles, but when necessary, he can also take advantage of both her and Wenjing without any psychological pressure.

Throughout the entire process, Ding Heng held all the initiative in their relationship.

"Alright then..."

Ding Heng sat back in the driver's seat, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Remember to try the orange flavor next time!"

"Oh...meow~"

The kitten obediently responded.
