Chapter 150 This Moment Feels Surreal
Standing beside the giant plush toy, Kong Huaijin appeared almost petite in contrast. Zhou Yi, holding his phone at a distance, gestured for her to pose in various ways. Awkwardly, Kong Huaijin flashed a peace sign at the camera. Her smile, though not entirely natural, gave her an endearing awkwardness that made her look unexpectedly charming in the photo—a stark difference from her usual confident and commanding self.
Kong Huaijin wasn't someone who shied away from the camera. She'd faced reporters during interviews, snapped pictures with friends, and even participated in numerous professional photoshoots. Normally, she felt completely at ease in front of a photographer's lens. But under Zhou Yi's watchful gaze, she found herself growing inexplicably shy. Her smile faltered, her hands fidgeted uncertainly, and all she could manage was a hesitant peace sign.
How odd, she thought, brushing her fingertips against her warm cheeks.
Just then, Zhou Yi jogged over, his face bright with a gentle smile. The sunlight caught the sharp angles of his youthful features, making him seem like the only figure worth noticing in the bustling crowd. Some people were simply born to be the center of attention, and you couldn't help but acknowledge it.
Zhou Yi's smile was soft, his eyes focused solely on her as if no one else existed. Kong Huaijin felt momentarily captivated, her thoughts scattering like leaves in the wind. For a brief moment, she forgot everything else—this was the boy idolized by countless girls, after all.
Reaching her, Zhou Yi handed her the phone. "Sis, take a look. What do you think?"
His expression was filled with eager anticipation. Kong Huaijin took the phone, blinked, and stared at the image in surprise. She had never seen herself like this before—this was the first time she encountered such a side of herself.
Zhou Yi chimed in smoothly, "Cute, right?"
Her lips curved into a small smile. "You're the first person to ever describe me that way."
