It was clear that it was no longer ten o'clock in the morning, yet the sunlight was even more blinding than at noon. 0
 
Li Xiao squinted against the sun, trying to see Jiang Yan, who stood before her backlit. She could barely make him out. 0
 
She remained silent, unsure of what to say. She couldn't just show him the photos from her camera right now because she knew they contained countless moments of him. 0
 
Despite the cheers and shouts echoing from all around the playground, this spot felt strangely quiet. Li Xiao could even hear Jiang Yan's breathing. 0
 
"Well, I won't look at them for now. When you develop them, remember to pick a handsome one for me as a keepsake," Jiang Yan broke the stillness, his voice cutting through the silence. 0
 
Li Xiao looked up at him; he was still smiling, that beautiful smile of his. He didn't have dimples, yet he was still so charming. 0
 
"You must be hot after all this time. Here, wipe your sweat," he said suddenly, handing her a tissue. Li Xiao hurriedly took it and dabbed at her forehead, her heart racing. He couldn't have noticed, could he? 0
 
Am I really being infatuated? 0
 
"Jiang Yan! Hey, Jiang Yan! Come over here for the awards!" 0
 
Fortunately, a teacher at the podium called him away just in time. 0
 
"I'll go ahead," he said as he rushed off but glanced back at Li Xiao, as if he wanted to say something. 0
 
"Oh, okay." 0
 
She watched him wave goodbye as he ran toward the podium, high-fiving classmates and friends waiting there. In just a few strides, he stepped onto the winner's platform, waving and greeting those around him. The atmosphere was so wonderful; everyone responded in kind, creating a beautiful moment together. 0
 
 
What was beautiful was something Li Xiao had never experienced. 0
 
She envied him, envied his bright and exuberant nature, envied how he lived so passionately like the sun, while she always hid in the shade when the sun came out. 0
 
"Li Xiao, hurry up and come over, we're taking pictures!" 0
 
Lost in thought, she heard her Photography Team leader calling her. 0
 
She quickly ran over, looking at the leader with confusion. 0
 
The leader sighed helplessly, "Oh, didn't you switch with Chen Jing? You should stick with it until the end. We're already at the award stage; just go all the way through." 0
 
"Huh? Is that okay?" 0
 
"Yes, yes, it's fine." The leader didn't know that at this moment, Li Xiao's heart was secretly leaping with joy. 0
 
Holding her camera, she approached him again and found his expression of "I knew you would come" was confirmed by his smug look as he gazed at her. 0
 
"Come on, School Leaders stand in the middle! Let's take a victorious group photo." The director was always the best at organizing things. 0
 
Jiang Yan held a bouquet of sunflowers in his arms, bright yellow and quite lovely. 0
 
She adjusted the lens; he looked at her. For a moment, she couldn't tell if he was smiling at the camera or at her, then he raised his left hand and made a silly "Yay" gesture. 0
 
The weather was too hot; even a slight movement made her heart race like a drum. 0
 
 
Li Xiao thought he really knew how to smile; his grin was brighter than a sunflower. 0
 
Once all the award ceremonies were over, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears, soft yet clear. 0
 
"Can I take a picture with you?" 0
 
She turned to look at him. He was gazing at her intently, his eyes seemingly revealing his thoughts, hoping to capture a photo together. 0
 
"Is that okay? I really want to take a picture with you." 0
 
He waited for her to nod, and after a moment of consideration, she obliged. 0
 
"Can we use your camera?" 0
 
She nodded, and in the next second, 0
 
he shouted at the top of his lungs in one direction, 0
 
"Gu Zhan, come here quickly!" 0
 
Seeing him like this made her unable to suppress a laugh. 0
