Chapter 11 The Camera

Mu Jingpei was so angry that he laughed.

He had been driving for so many years. At least he was experienced.

A few years ago, he liked sports cars very much. At that time, he often went racing on the mountain road with a group of childes in the middle of the night. Basically he didn't lose. But for Aixi, he had a bad habit of driving and his skills were ordinary.

It was the first time that someone had commented on him like this.

Forget it, what was the point of arguing with a play house gamer.

"All right, you're good at it."

Hearing his perfunctory answer, Aixi said discontentedly, "You have to accept other people's advice humbly."

Mu Jingpei continued to say perfunctorily, "Okay, whatever you say."

Aixi thought she was right. "Your driving skills are just so-so."

Mu Jingpei had tried his best to keep himself as simple as her, but after all, he was not really simple. It was inevitable that people would think of something else when she kept talking about driving skills.

He reminded her, "Little girl, don't discuss driving skills with others like this in the future."

Aixi paused and asked blankly, "Why?"

Mu Jingpei had intended to tell her, but looking at her pure expression, he suddenly stopped.

If he made a word that was originally very simple to her become no longer simple, his conscience might hurt.

He smiled mysteriously. "You'll understand when it's the right time."

Aixi felt her heart beat fast when she saw the charming smile on his face.

She vaguely felt that the words were not decent.

He was not a decent person.

The mountain torrent came suddenly and left quickly. In the past few days of Mu Jingpei treatment, except for the place where the terrain was very low, the water of other place had almost receded. The missing villagers in the nearby village were also found, and there was good news everywhere.

In the past few days, some villagers who had taken the bus visited Mu Jingpei and Aixi. Although the villagers were not so rich, in order to express their gratitude, they all chose good things from home, such as fish and chickens.

Mu Jingpei was afraid of living chickens. Basically, he would ask Mrs. Zhang to kill them and make chicken soup as soon as they were sent over.

Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were both simple and enthusiastic. They knew that chicken soup was good for Mu Jingpei's health, they didn't even touch it.

Mu Jingpei didn't hurt his bones, so he didn't need to supplementing nutrition. Since they refused to eat it, he had to share it with them.

Every time there were two drumsticks, Aixi and Mr. Zhang's son would get one each. Mu Jingpei would also give Aixi a lot of chicken.

Mrs. Zhang always said to Aixi, "Your cousin is so kind to you."

Aixi told Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang that he was her distant cousin and took her to seek his relatives in Shanghai.

Therefore, Mu Jingpei recognized her as his "cousin" for the time being.

He still remembered how Aixi was moved to tears by a bowl of chicken drumstick noodles in the restaurant.

The little girl was so thin that it made people feel sorry for her. Shouldn't he let her eat better?

After lunch, Mrs. Zhang went to clean up while Aixi and Mrs. Zhang's son played in the yard.

After chatting with Mr. Zhang for a while, Mu Jingpei went back to his room and took out his camera.

The cameras, navigation cameras, and other equipment were used for shooting. Navigation camera had been taken away by Wen Qiu and the others when they went back. He didn't take cameraman as his job. Instead, he brought SLR camera to film other things.

It was not bad to use one hand to shoot a video with the help of a stabler.

When Mu Jingpei went out with his camera, he saw Aixi standing in the yard.

The cuffs of her old white T-shirt almost reached her elbows, which made her arms seem very thin. Her scattered hair was slightly blown by the wind, and the gloomy sky seemed to have faded the color of the whole world. She stood in front of large patches of mountains with water vapor, she looked particularly quiet and lively.

"Aixi." Mu Jingpei called her name.

"Huh?" Aixi subconsciously turned her head.

Seeing the camera in the hands of Mu Jingpei, she was stunned at first. Then she turned her head shyly and whispered, "Why, why did you take photos of me?"

The moment she looked back, her eyes were clear and ethereal, and then there was panic and helplessness in her eyes. Mu Jingpei seemed to have startled a deer in the deep forest, and his heart skipped a beat.

It was impossible for any high-level performance actor to act exactly the same as her reaction, let alone make him absent-minded for a second.

This was probably the most satisfactory shot he had ever taken.

Seeing that Aixi was blushing, Mu Jingpei asked with amusement, "Why are you so nervous?"

Being pointed at by such a big camera, Aixi felt uncomfortable and didn't know how to put her hands and feet.

"Okay, I won't shoot anymore." Mu Jingpei unconsciously softened his tone to coax her, like coaxing a small animal that was frightened by him because he was reluctant to let the small animal go.

Aixi slowly turned around. When she saw that the camera was not aimed at her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you want to have a look at the video?"

Aixi walked over.

Mu Jingpei put the camera in her hand, then lowered his head and operated it.

His movements were natural and there was no hint of ambiguity. Aixi felt as if she was surrounded by him. He was so close that she could feel his strong masculine aura. Her shoulders accidentally touched his body, which made her feel numb.

The video was played, attracting the attention of Aixi.

Aixi.

-"Hmm?

-"Why, why did you shoot me?"

It only lasted for a few seconds. Aixi felt that she was a little silly at that time.

"You are very cute," said Mu Jingpei.

Aixi was embarrassed and stopped looking at it.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang came out of the house with a basket and a sickle. She planned to take her son to cut vegetables in the vegetable field. Aixi also wanted to go out for a walk, so she went with her.

Mrs. Zhang's vegetable field was not far away.

It was the time to eat eggplants, cucumbers, cantaloupe, tomatoes, and other seasonal vegetables. It rained heavily recently, and many of the vegetables were soaked. It was a pity, but there were still a lot of good ones left.

The tomato was red and plump. Aixi wiped it on her body and ate it directly.

She took a bite, and the tomato meat was soft. The sour and sweet juice burst in her mouth and almost overflowed from the corner of her mouth.

"It's such a sweet and fresh tomato. I must let Mu Jingpei taste it when I go back."

Mrs. Zhang saw that Aixi was very skilled in her work and said, "It seems that you often work."

Aixi nodded. "I know how to cook."

After she lived with her uncle and aunt, she cooked all the meals for the family. She didn't know how to do it before. Her father and mother didn't want her to do anything, nor did they want her to work. She learned it from her uncle and aunt.

At first, the food she cooked was not delicious and often cooked. Every time, she would be scolded by her aunt. In the morning, if she got up late for breakfast, she would also be scolded. So she learned how to cook finally.

For so many days, Mu Jingpei had never eaten the food she cooked.

Aixi discussed with Mrs. Zhang that she decided to show off skills tonight and let Mu Jingpei have a taste.
