Chapter 743 — You Take Our Photo, Wei Zhao Took the Camera and Nodded.

The classrooms of Senior Class Three and Senior Class Nine were not far apart, and since every class was in self-study period, things were fairly quiet. Shen Yushu's shout of "Arrow Brand Bro" rang out rather abruptly, and Tang Zhi, who sat by the window along the corridor, heard it clearly—the windows were all open in summer.

She was acutely sensitive to that peculiar nickname Shen Yushu had for Wei Zhao, and the moment she looked up she saw Wei Zhao taking the camera to photograph Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu.

Tang Zhi frowned. She had never figured out whether Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu actually liked Wei Zhao—or whether one of the two did, or whether neither of them did.

Liu Xinlan heard Shen Yushu's voice too, poked her head out from her classroom, and saw Wei Zhao photographing Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu as well. She hurriedly sent Tang Zhi a text message.

Tang Zhi received the message, felt a little irritated, replied "Got it," and put her phone back in her pocket, lowering her head to her book.

The college entrance exam was only a few months away; she had to study hard. Being on good terms with Wei Zhao was one thing, but she couldn't let it get in the way of her studies. If she failed to get into university, the gap between her and Wei Zhao would only grow wider—Tang Zhi understood this principle very well.

Liu Xinlan saw that after one reply, Tang Zhi went silent. She waited a while longer, and still nothing came, so she couldn't help leaving her classroom to go find Tang Zhi.

Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu spotted Liu Xinlan as well; Wei Zhao, with his back to her, did not.

"Sister Yaoyao, someone's going off to tattle!" Shen Yushu said.

"Don't say that. It's not tattling." Though Gu Mengyao said so, she felt a little nervous inside. Would Tang Zhi come over in a moment?

But then, so what if she did? She hadn't done anything she needed to hide. At that thought, Gu Mengyao settled down again.

Liu Xinlan came to Tang Zhi's window. Tang Zhi hadn't expected Liu Xinlan to come looking for her in person and felt a bit annoyed. So people were taking photos—what did that have to do with them? Wasn't butting in even more awkward? It was as if they were keeping watch on Wei Zhao.

"Yunyun, you're not going to pretend you didn't see me, are you?" Liu Xinlan leaned on the windowsill and asked.

"What do you want? I need to study." Tang Zhi waved the workbook in her hand.

"Want to go for a walk?" Liu Xinlan asked.

"Go out for what?" Tang Zhi hesitated, then countered. In truth she knew exactly what Liu Xinlan was calling her out for—nothing but going to find Wei Zhao.

"They're taking photos, so let's take some too. We're about to graduate—why not leave a memento?" Liu Xinlan said.

"Let's not. I don't think it's a good idea..." Tang Zhi shook her head hesitantly.

"What's not good about it?" Having said that, Liu Xinlan called out to Wei Zhao: "Wei Zhao!"

With Wei Zhao's sharp senses, how could he fail to notice Liu Xinlan going to find Tang Zhi? Though he had been busy photographing Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu over here, he had still been quietly keeping an eye on that side.

Hearing Liu Xinlan call him, Wei Zhao knew something was up again. He turned around with a smile. "Heh... what is it?"

"Tang Zhi says she still hasn't had a photo taken with you?" Liu Xinlan said.

"When did I say that? Don't make things up..." Tang Zhi was instantly mortified. Why was Liu Xinlan spouting nonsense?

"Then let's take one together?" The eldest young lady had spoken. At this moment, Gu Mengyao felt there was no need to be petty—it was just a photo, and what did it matter if Tang Zhi came? Refusing to let Tang Zhi join would only make her look small-minded.

She was the eldest young lady. When one must fight, one fights; when one must not, one does not. To haggle over every little thing would make her a shrew without reason.

"Come on, Yunyun. Studying now? I don't believe you can actually focus on it." Liu Xinlan glanced at the workbook in Tang Zhi's hand. The writing looked like it was from before—she hadn't touched it at all, because the earlier marks were in carbon ink, and now there was only a blue ballpoint pen.

Liu Xinlan dragged and pulled Tang Zhi out of the classroom. Tang Zhi decided not to be coy about it anymore. It was true she had never taken a photo with Wei Zhao. They had met at First High School, and if they didn't have a single picture together, that would really be a shame. When she looked back on it later, might she regret not preserving a fragment of memory?

"Wei Zhao, shall I take one of you two?" Liu Xinlan took the camera from Wei Zhao's hands.

"I haven't finished taking pictures yet!" Shen Yushu protested. But after thinking it over, she ran over to Wei Zhao's side. Tang Zhi stood on Wei Zhao's right, and Shen Yushu stood on his left. "Perfect, I haven't taken one with Arrow Brand Bro yet!"

"..." Tang Zhi was caught between laughter and tears. She was taking a photo with Wei Zhao—what was she doing barging in?

Liu Xinlan was also instantly exasperated, but Tang Zhi hadn't said anything, so what could she say? She raised the camera and took a rather bizarre three-person couple photo.

"Sister Yaoyao, you come too!" Shen Yushu waved at Gu Mengyao.

Gu Mengyao wanted to go over, but also didn't really want to. Tang Zhi was there—why would she intrude on the fun?

"Gu Mengyao, let's take one together? We're friends, aren't we? For old times' sake?" Tang Zhi had noticed the young miss's awkwardness. Since she had just generously called Tang Zhi out to take a photo, why shouldn't Tang Zhi generously invite her to join?

Only then did Gu Mengyao hesitantly walk over. After thinking about it, she still stood beside Shen Yushu.

Liu Xinlan pressed the shutter, and a four-person couple photo was born...

After that photo, Shen Yushu still wanted to join in the fun, but Gu Mengyao pulled her off to the side, not letting her interfere anymore, giving Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi a chance to take a photo alone.

Although Tang Zhi's and Liu Xinlan's phones could take pictures too, phone cameras were still far inferior to digital cameras, and their family circumstances didn't allow them to buy digital cameras. Although Tang Zhi's family had some money now, they hadn't had time to buy one, or perhaps Tang Zhi had never thought of buying such things.

So after Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi took their photo, Liu Xinlan also took one with Tang Zhi. In the end, it was Shen Yushu who suggested that all five of them take a group photo. It wasn't easy for the five of them to have met. Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had also met Liu Xinlan that night at Fatty Lai's house.

But if all five of them were going to be in the photo, someone had to take it, right? Although the camera had a self-timer function, there was nowhere to set it up. Just as they were puzzling over what to do, they saw Zou Ruoming dribbling a basketball and swaying over from not far away.

His purpose for coming to school every day was to hang out with a few underlings, eat and drink, play basketball, and show off. Of course, he had been showing off less often lately. The reason was simple: Wei Zhao was too fierce, and he didn't dare offend him. Zou Ruoming could only quietly play basketball.

"Hey, classmate, come take a photo for us!" Liu Xinlan hadn't gotten a clear look at who was coming—it was Zou Ruoming. She was just grabbing someone at random to take a picture.

Hearing Liu Xinlan's words, Zou Ruoming nearly exploded with rage. Damn it, even a tiger bullied by dogs when it comes down to the plains?
