"No, that's not right." Lu Youyou sidestepped, feeling an inexplicable shyness deep within her, embarrassed to let Xu Lie see her blushing face in the photo. However, since Xu Lie had agreed to take a picture together, she couldn't refuse. She needed a temporary excuse to delay: "I... I need to adjust things first."
"You might not know this, but after taking a photo, a girl needs to carefully adjust the brightness, lighting, contrast, saturation, highlights, and sharpening to look better."
Goodness, if the photo is adjusted according to what you said, would it even retain any semblance of reality in the end?
Seeing Lu Youyou eagerly starting to edit the photo, Xu Lie decided not to spoil the mood with low emotional intelligence comments.
But as she continued adjusting, Xu Lie sensed something was off. Lu Youyou's face had been filled with joy, her brows and eyes curving like crescent moons. Yet halfway through editing the photo, her brows furrowed silently, and the smile gradually faded into melancholy.
Lu Youyou showed no skill in hiding her emotions; everything was written on her face. What was going on? Even Xu Lie was puzzled—why did Lu Youyou experience such a drastic change in emotions in such a short time?
Could it be that someone truly wanted to look bad and ended up making themselves upset?
Xu Lie tentatively asked, "Is the brightness and sharpening hard to adjust?"
Lu Youyou glanced at Xu Lie with disbelief in her eyes. She turned her wrist over so Xu Lie could see her phone screen.
Breaking news: "Xing Cheng Cold Storage has exploded; police preliminarily suspect it was caused by an explosive offender from Ancheng Ji University."
Initially, Lu Youyou had been able to scroll through numerous reports about the Ancheng Ji University explosion case. Each time she came across one, she would click in for more details and follow the updates.
With big data creating an information cocoon around her, as long as there was relevant news, she would receive notifications about trending topics—one of which was related to the explosive offender Xu Lie. Without thinking twice, Lu Youyou clicked on it.
Only then did she learn that just recently—possibly while she was having dinner with Xu Lie—the Xing Cheng cold storage had exploded.
Others who saw this news either condemned the perpetrator's madness or expressed a desire for a swift resolution to the case. But Lu Youyou, as someone who knew more than others, felt a different kind of weight upon reading it.
She was just an ordinary girl without any intelligence channels; she could only trust official reports. Since the news stated that the police had made their judgment, she naturally didn't suspect there were any copycat offenders involved.
The joy she had felt earlier now turned into bitterness and sorrow.
"Did you not promise me that you would stop doing bad things?"
"Why did you have to deceive me?"
Perhaps Lu Youyou didn’t even notice that her words implied not that Xu Lie had committed another crime, but rather that he had deceived her, breaking the promise he made to her. The joys and sorrows of people do not resonate with one another.
While Lu Youyou was feeling sad and melancholic, the audience held differing opinions. The barrage of comments flooded Xu Lie's screen, like a torrential downpour.
“Did you notice? The Female Second Lead has caught on? I thought we could keep it from her smoothly; this production team really is unusual.”
“Oh wow! Interesting, now this is getting fun! I want to see the Romantic Conflict!”
“It’s strange, just a moment ago the atmosphere between Xu Lie and Lu Youyou was so ambiguous, and now the production team pulls this stunt? Are they deliberately keeping us from enjoying the sweetness?”
“Logically, the Explosion Case would indeed have a significant social impact. It’s normal for Lu Youyou to gain attention; it makes sense.”
“It’s a pity about that group photo. Can Xu Lie still see the shy, blushing Youyou in that picture?”
