The request went smoothly, but it surprised her a little. Probably because he had left a soft-hearted impression on her before, as if he always didn't ask for anything in return. It's all about getting her used to it.

She hurriedly reminded herself in her heart that she couldn't take this for granted.

"Yes, you can." She immediately responded, "What's the hurry?" ”

"I think it's time to buy a camera, can you help me pick one?"

"That's it? No problem. When? ”

"Now. Available? ”

She simply said neatly: "Go!" ”

*

You Xuezhen stepped on the back seat of Meng Shilong's motorcycle for the second time, and she thought that this was too good, and she could experience a ride invisibly.

Meng Shilong turned around to make sure she was seated and asked, "Go to Cyber City?" ”

“nonono。” She motioned for him to hand over his phone and type the name of a small shop into the navigation, "Check it out here." I don't know if it's still open, I bought it in this store when I was a freshman to shoot homework, and one of the advantages of his house is that they all have prototypes, so you can try the feel before you buy it. ”

"Okay."

He followed the address, and the car sped out. Twenty minutes later, I came to a steady stop in front of a capillary-like alley.

"Just walk in from here."

You Xuezhen jumped off the motorcycle and pointed to the alley, this road is very bourgeois, most of the way down are all kinds of cultural and creative shops, the sycamore leaves are falling all over the ground, and the fragrance of flower shops is still floating in the air.

The camera shop they were looking for was sandwiched between a record store and a bookstore, You Xuezhen remembered that the location of the bookstore was a churros snack bar, and she didn't know when it was replaced by a bookstore, but unfortunately, she was still thinking of buying a churros to taste.

Fortunately, the camera store has not been updated, and the store looks inconspicuous, the lights in the store are very dim, and the low wattage light feels like it will be in arrears at any time.

Half of the window displays second-hand film machines from the pre-founded, and the other half displays digital cameras, both second-hand and new, You Xuezhen found the one she owned back then and put it in the second-hand column, this one is too old for now.

"What's your budget? Buy a micro single or a DSLR? ”

"It doesn't matter if you budget, which portrait is prettier?"

"I think it's good to buy a micro-order first, it's enough. And in terms of portraits, I personally think that Canon is better. But if you don't know how to post, maybe Fujifilm is not bad either, it comes with its own filters. You Xuezhen pointed to the two in the window, "Otherwise, you can take a picture of both and try to see it." ”

The two walked into the store, and there were no other customers at this time, and the store manager looked intently at the IPAD. She knocked on the counter and told him that she wanted to test shoot, and the store manager lazily raised his eyes, told them to use it carefully, and lowered his head to continue watching the show.

"You try this first."

You Xuezhen took a well-known Canon trial machine from the window and handed it to Meng Shilong, he took it carefully, began to fiddle with the lens, looked east and west, aimed at the neat window for a while, and pointed at a sycamore outside the window for a while, but he didn't press the shutter.

She looked down and took out her phone during his test shoot, looking for someone else to evaluate the camera in more detail.

The information was redundant, and while she was rummaging through it, she suddenly heard her name being called indifferently.

"You Xuezhen."

She looked up.

Click-

At some point, Meng Shilong pointed the camera at her.

In the gray shop, the flashes lit up, and the fireworks were faint in an instant.

Chapter 18

Her dazed appearance was captured by Meng Shilong into the camera.

"Ahh ”

His eyes took off the viewfinder and looked at her, "I'm sorry, don't you like to be photographed?" ”

“…… No, you have to give the person being photographed a process of preparing for the pose! You Xuezhen leaned over to look at the photo he had just taken, "Let me see what I just took."

He pulled up the picture, and both of them fell silent.

Because of the sudden flash, You Xuezhen blinked subconsciously, and the camera caught this moment. That's it, it's not so embarrassing to be photographed with her eyes closed - but in the photo, she is only half closed, and the other half is still open.

A pair of white eyes that are so ecstatic.

Meng Shilong said to her again: "...... I'm sorry. ”

When the last word was spoken, his voice trembled.

You Xuezhen's face was expressionless: "If you want to laugh, just laugh." ”

He shook his head and pursed his lips.

She was so angry that her teeth itched: "No wonder your grandma is so depressed that she can't eat, and I will do it if I change me!" You take a good picture of me! ”

He straightened his expression and replied, "Okay, don't worry." ”

It's no wonder that you can rest assured.

"Shoot again! This time, you tell me to shoot again. ”

"Okay."

He adjusted the parameters again, then squinted his eyes closer to the viewfinder and refocused the camera on her.

Her face looks miniature in the little square framing, like a little doll.

"Three, two, one......"

He counted down softly, and when he pressed the shutter, he made some kind of anticipation, like she would pose a little branch, or smile with eight teeth, or pretend to be cool. Anyway, as she said, leave a good image.

But the shutter was pressed, and he saw a grimace in the viewfinder with cross-eyed eyes and sticking out his tongue through his nostrils.

Meng Shilong froze, blinked his eyes and came back to his senses: "...... Is this your pose? ”

"Don't you see that?" She gave him a hint, "God of Food! ”

He understood at one point: "Female student, Svenwen? ”

This sentence is directly in Cantonese in the movie.

You Xuezhen made a bingo gesture, this expression was to imitate this scene in the movie, and she and the underground party caught the next line like a code: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!" After speaking, he asked him, "How should I say this Cantonese standard?" ”

Meng Shilong looked at her and taught, "Wait until you're so patient." The voice dragged a little lazy.

"I'm so patient!"

She followed the parrot and listened to it.

"It's pretty standard."

He switched to Mandarin and looked down at the grimace he had just taken.

You Xuezhen was still savoring the line he taught her just now, and suddenly heard him speak Mandarin again, and sighed a little strangely: "You speak Cantonese and speak Mandarin feel like two people." ”

"I'm not terrible at Mandarin, am I?"

"That's not what it meant." She thought for a moment and awkwardly described, "You feel honest when you speak Mandarin, but you feel bad when you speak Cantonese." ”

When he heard this description, he didn't quite understand: "Very bad? ”

"Hmm...... Anyway, if you speak Cantonese at first, I wouldn't dare take your car for a ride. ”

In fact, it's not that you don't dare, it's embarrassing. But as for why she was embarrassed, she couldn't say clearly.

So, let's not dare to describe it.

*

Next, You Xuezhen accompanied him to try a few cameras, and finally he felt that the first one felt the best, and the store manager pressed the pause button, barely distracting his attention to help them check out.

"I'm sorry, that one is out of stock, and there are only prototypes at the moment."

The two men looked at each other.

You Xuezhen asked speechlessly: "Then when will it be available?" ”

"It's hard to say. If you don't mind if this prototype can be sold to you cheaply, it won't take long to put it out, and the functionality is completely fine. If something goes wrong, take the warranty. ”

You Xuezhen's first reaction was not to do it, although it was a prototype, it was also second-hand in a certain sense, so why bother to buy it yourself.

But Meng Shilong is different, he has already begun to ask the store manager: "How much cheaper?" ”

Store manager: "Twenty percent off." ”

Meng Shilong: "Six folds." ”

Store manager: "Seven folds." ”

Meng Shilong: "Sixty-six fold." Good numbers, I wish you six or six good times in business. ”

Manager: "...... Okay. ”

You Xuezhen watched the simple and straightforward confrontation between the two in amazement, and Meng Shilong cut a lot of prices and won the camera at a price she didn't expect.

When she left the store, she was still sighing: "You are so good." ”

He was noncommittal: "It's the store that is better than the father-in-law and mother-in-law in the vegetable market." ”

Tonight's task was successfully completed, You Xuezhen signaled that she could go back to school by herself, and there was no need for him to send her back, and the two parted ways at the entrance of the alley.

Meng Shilong seemed to want to insist, she had already quickly got into the car.

"Then we'll see you at the market next time!"

He hesitated, "I don't necessarily have time to go on the day of the market. ”

"Huh?! Didn't you say yes......"

"Yes, I will help make the cake, and it won't affect you to sell it."

You Xuezhen understood that he was planning to work completely behind the scenes.

"Well, the market is fun...... It's a pity you don't come. ”

The main thing is that if he doesn't come, he won't be able to meet Mao Suhe!

He seemed to be very impressed by the market she described, and after a pause, he said, "It depends on whether the shop is busy that day, and if it is not, I will pass." ”

“…… All right. ”
