Chapter 5 National Day Holidays

On the first day of the National Day holiday, Li Jie said after breakfast in the morning: "Aunt Zhang, I didn't eat at home for lunch. I went to the photo studio to learn photography." After saying this, he walked out of the house carrying the equipment.

"Oh, I got it. I'll cook your favorite elbow for you tonight." Zhang Lu said loudly toward the door.

When Li Jie arrived at Central Street by bike, he saw Geng Geng enthusiastically holding up his camera and taking pictures from a distance. She was really a young girl full of energy.

"Wow! Wow! Isn't this the internationally renowned photographer Geng Geng? I can actually meet you here. I am your die-hard fan!" Li Jie said seriously.

"Stop making trouble, Lu Xinghe, didn't you say you want to go to your teacher's place? Let's go." Li Jie couldn't help laughing when he saw Geng Geng, who was obviously secretly happy but pretending to be serious.

The daytime temperature in Harbin in October is about 10 degrees, which makes Li Jie, who grew up in the south, a little uncomfortable. Today when he went out, he wore a khaki thin coat and a light-colored sweater on his upper body, and light-colored jeans on his lower body. Even though

There was still a slight chill in the morning. Looking at Geng Geng who was wearing a simple pink sweatshirt and jeans, Li Jie felt that his ability to resist the cold was not enough.

"Is this the photo studio where your master works? Silhouette of Time, there are so many great people in it." Geng Geng talked about the awards and celebrities that Silhouette of Time had won in the past.

"Yes, my master is Tian Xiao. Let's go. I made an appointment with him before."

Walking into the door and looking at the slightly crowded hall with people coming and going, Geng Geng could not help but think of a happy couple about to enter the marriage hall as he listened to the melodious singing.

...

You are my most important decision

I want to wake up next to you every day

Even quarrels are enjoyable and not cold.

Because there is no winning or losing in true love, only intimacy

You are my most important decision

I am willing to break the fear of the unknown

Even if I shed tears, I can calm down and express my feelings.

Because there is no shortcut to happiness, only management

...

Listening to the familiar background music, Li Jie didn't expect that the new song he had just written had been spread here. However, this song did fit the atmosphere here very well. When he walked to the door of Tian Xiao's office on the second floor, he saw

Tian Xiao was saying goodbye to a pair of young men and women who looked very attractive.

Tian Xiao happened to see Li Jie: "Xinghe, you are here. The person behind you is the deskmate you mentioned before. He looks very energetic."

"Yes, Brother Tian, ​​this is Geng Geng. I'm coming with you to study with you these days. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Have you brought all the lenses I asked you to bring last time? I just want to explain them to you in detail in the past few days."

"I have them all with me. I just encountered some problems during this period and wanted to ask for your advice." Li Jie pointed to the equipment bag he was carrying.

The afternoon sun shone through the old-fashioned glass windows on the sofa in the office, and Li Jie felt a touch of warmth. The sun shone on Geng Geng's serious face, and Li Jie suddenly had an extra impulse to record the scene in front of him.

A girl is studying eagerly under the mottled light and shadow.

Click! Geng Geng was awakened by the sudden sound of the shutter. Looking at Li Jie holding the camera, his face turned red inexplicably.

"Let's talk about lenses. Lenses can be divided into zoom and fixed focus according to focal length..."

"Different lenses have different shooting objects, but there are no strict restrictions. For example, some photographers will say that fixed-focus lenses are more suitable for shooting portraits, while wide-angle lenses are more suitable for shooting landscapes, etc."

...

...

In the following days, Li Jie and Geng Geng studied seriously under Tian Xiao's guidance every day. Occasionally, Tian Xiao also took the two of them out to shoot scenes, so that they could practice hard.

"Xinghe, Geng Geng, I am going to Xiamen City on a business trip tomorrow. You can have free time tomorrow and show me the photos you took later." Tian Xiao said at the end of the day's teaching.

After a busy and fulfilling day, Li Jie took Geng Geng to the snack street of Central Street.

"Geng Geng, tomorrow happens to be the last day of the holiday. Brother Tian is on a business trip. How about we go to Laodaowai to take pictures tomorrow?" Li Jie said, holding the popsicle he just bought from Madier Cold Drinks.

"Okay, then you will be my royal model tomorrow." Geng Geng stared at the popsicle in Li Jie's hand.

‘Snack food’, Li Jie thought as he touched Geng Geng’s head.

**********

Geng Geng was lying in bed at night, and suddenly the words Beta had said about dating before the vacation came to mind. His cheeks turned red, no, no, this was not a date, they were just learning to take photos together, and then he fell asleep in his wild thoughts.

Li Jie woke up in the morning and looked out the window. Looking at the sunshine outside the window, he felt warm in his heart. It seemed that it was good weather again. Li Jie walked out of the house amid Aunt Zhang's nagging.

Laodaowai, an old city that carries memories and reminiscences in the hearts of Laoha people, can be called a "living fossil." Although it is inevitably declining in today's social changes, it does not prevent it from remaining in the city filled with reinforced concrete.

It shows a completely different style. The antique Baroque architecture is very suitable for taking retro photos. Being in it feels like traveling back to the old Harbin city of the last century.

"Lu Xinghe, move a little to the left, oh, yes, yes, this is the angle, perfect!" The soft girl's voice echoed in the empty street, Geng Geng looked as happy as if he had found a new and big toy.

Constantly directing Li Jie to make various looks, the two of them kept shuttling through the retro streets as if they were hunting for treasure.

"Okay, it's almost my turn to take pictures. You've been taking pictures all day." Li Jie said, looking at Geng Geng who kept taking pictures of himself with great interest under the setting sun.

"Haha, really? I don't feel that time flies by so fast at all. I really hope that tomorrow is also a holiday. Okay, I will allow your request."

"If you like it so much, let's go out together next time, such as Sophia Church, Riverside Railway Bridge, Qunli Music Park, Volga Manor, etc. There are many places you can go to as well as here."

"Okay, okay, let's go together next time, it's settled." He said happily with a confident tone.

After taking the last set of photos, Li Jie looked at the already dark sky: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat fried chicken. Ronghua Fried Chicken is super delicious."

.......

"Ah, I want to eat more, but I'm so full that I can't eat anymore." Geng Geng, who patted his belly, was obviously a little unsatisfied.

"We can come again next time. Let's set a small goal first. Eat all the delicacies in Harbin in three years of high school." Li Jie encouraged.

"Hey, this is a good suggestion. I'm sure, Xiaoluzi, let's watch and reward!"

When you walk out of the restaurant, you will see dim street lights and colorful neon lights. At this time, there is a different scene outside the old road. The streets with a century-old history are dotted with modern lights, exuding a charming atmosphere.

Seeing Geng Geng obsessed with the beautiful scenery in front of him, with a tangled expression on his face, probably because he wanted to stay here longer to shoot but also thought he couldn't go home too late, Li Jie suggested: "Geng Geng, maybe we can shoot here for a while,

I'll take a taxi to take you back later, so it won't be too late than taking the bus back?"

"Not too bad. Isn't it too much trouble for you?"

"It's okay, it's okay, no trouble, just on your way."

On the way back after sending off Geng Geng, Li Jie thought about what he had done when he entered the dungeon world, and his relationship with Geng Geng was progressing steadily. "The Devotion of Suspect

"My Deskmate", "You Are My Most Important Decision", and the remaining songs seem to have not found a suitable candidate to sing them yet. The development of things is basically within my own plan, and I will take my time step by step.

Well, it’s time to relive our school days.
