He viciously threw the half-eaten Popsicle stick in the direction of the camera!
Sure enough, Luo Yao's figure flashed out from behind the snack kiosk.
Clutching his expensive camera, he yelled furiously, "Ji Yun, if you're sick, get treatment!"
Ji Yun also walked towards him.
Taking advantage of Luo Yao's ranting, Ji Yun snatched the camera right from his hands.
"What the fuck are you doing!!! If you break this thing, your whole family can't afford to pay for it!!!" Luo Yao immediately tried to wrestle it back, looking extremely anxious and angry!
Ji Yun wasn't a pushover either; with one hand he pushed Luo Yao away while adeptly and quickly flipping through the camera's contents with the other.
As expected, the photos were of Qiu Mo.
And several of them were taken directly at Qiu Mo's face, chest, and legs!
"Who gave you permission to take unauthorized photos of girls?" Ji Yun questioned.
"Of course, the school leaders! I am the student editor for the Lixue Middle School campus theme column. I shoot campus materials, including students who study well in school. What's wrong with that!" Luo Yao said confidently.
"Are you sure these photos are for the campus theme and not your filthy private collection?" Ji Yun pointed to the photos in the camera.
"This... this is just normal material collection. If you're thinking dirty, that's your own unhealthy mind!" Luo Yao argued back.
Their argument quickly drew an audience, but Luo Yao was a student council member, and he had been recognized by the school leaders numerous times as a model student for his contributions to the aesthetic of the campus.
Most people clearly felt that Ji Yun was making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Fine, let's ask the person involved. You take these kinds of photos, the subject should be informed, right?" Seeing that most people were defending Luo Yao, Ji Yun didn't bother to argue with them.
Dragging Luo Yao by his clothes with one hand and holding the camera with the other, he headed straight towards Qiu Mo.
Of course, Luo Yao felt guilty; he didn't want a public confrontation.
However, for some reason, although he was no smaller in stature than Ji Yun, he couldn't shake off Ji Yun's grip, which was like that of a skilled martial artist; the moment he tried to exert any force, his arm would throb with pain.
And so, Ji Yun dragged Luo Yao under the banyan tree!
"The subject has the right to ask you to keep or delete them," Ji Yun said, handing the camera directly to Qiu Mo.
Although Qiu Mo had seen the two boys arguing from a distance, she didn't know what had happened until Ji Yun placed Luo Yao's camera in front of her...
"Did you take these photos?" Qiu Mo asked.
Most of the photos were fine, with campus scenes, students in sports activities, but a few that involved herself emphasized her body contours too distinctly, especially the one where she was stretching...
"This, I was just capturing some dynamic beauty. If Student Qiu Mo thinks these photos aren't appropriate, I will delete them immediately. Actually, I was planning to show them to you after taking them, who knew Ji Yun would bite me like a rabid dog and not let go." Luo Yao wasn't dumb and quickly came up with a reasonable explanation.
"I'm not very good with this, Ji Yun, could you help me delete them, thank you." Qiu Mo handed the camera back to Ji Yun.
Asking Ji Yun to delete them instead of Luo Yao himself.
This already made Qiu Mo's position clear.
She trusted Ji Yun more.
With a shove, Ji Yun pushed Luo Yao away and then skillfully began operating the camera.
"What... what are you doing! That's formatting!" Suddenly, Luo Yao roared.
"I don't have the time to flip through each one, who knows how many you've taken." Ji Yun had already finished the formatting operation, then slammed the camera into Luo Yao's chest.
All of it!!
All the various collections he had accumulated over such a long time!!!
Gone!
All gone!!
This Ji Yun, he did it on purpose!
Actually, if they were just deleted, there would be a way to recover them.
His camera was high-end, much like how deleted computer files are placed in the Recycle Bin.
But formatting is irreversible!!
Even many prized collections were wiped out!!
Without those treasures, what's the value of this camera!
Luo Yao's face turned a shade of green from fury, yet with Qiu Mo there holding sway, and because he was in the wrong, he dared not make a scene, and instead, his face was filled with bulging veins!
"You can go now," Ji Yun dismissed him.
Without saying a word, Luo Yao left, enveloped in resentment.
Just you wait!
You just wait, you son of a bitch!
Ji Yun,
I, Luo Yao, will make sure you get what's coming to you!
"Thank you~" Qiu Mo said softly.
"It's nothing," Ji Yun waved his hand casually.
"Was it you who played that stuff over the speakers?" Qiu Mo asked.
"Ah, so you heard that too." Ji Yun said with a smile.
"I have read that book," Qiu Mo stated.
Huh?
Student Qiu Mo, there's something off about you.
"I had to; Lü Jing went too far this time. If I didn't return the favor, I couldn't stand it," Ji Yun explained.
"She really did go too far... I've heard them say, you and Lou Yu grew up together, pretty much childhood sweethearts," Qiu Mo asked with curiosity.
"Me, Wu Kai, and her, we all live on Craftsman Street," Ji Yun answered tactfully.
"It's also fortunate she has a brother like you who will stand up for her," Qiu Mo nodded.
"Hehe." Ji Yun chuckled.
"So... since you already have your answer, what you said before was just a spur-of-the-moment thing, right? No need for a formal response?" Qiu Mo hesitated for a moment before saying this.
"Let me think about that," Ji Yun said, scratching his head.
"I can see it, you know." As she spoke, Qiu Mo pointed towards the direction of the teaching building.
Through the bright classroom windows, from Qiu Mo's viewpoint, one could clearly see the corridor.
As expected, it was precisely where she had embraced Lou Yu!
Qiu Mo had seen it.
So she felt that she had chosen to be with Lou Yu.
People can be quite strange at times.
Qiu Mo already had an answer in her heart and was certain she would give a rejection.
But seeing Ji Yun hugging Lou Yu in the corridor, she still felt very uncomfortable.
She had been whimsical for just three days, yet this guy had already turned his attention to another girl!
She should never have read those weird pieces of literature that talked about adding some ambiguity and uncertainty to love.
If not for Luo Yao secretly taking photos, Qiu Mo really wouldn't have wanted to say a word to Ji Yun!
"Qiu Mo, she was actually saying goodbye to me," Ji Yun quickly came up with an explanation.
"Saying goodbye?"
"Yes, to be precise, I was the one saying goodbye to her..." A familiar sorrow welled up in Ji Yun's eyes.
"She's transferring schools?" Qiu Mo guessed the outcome.
But at this moment, Ji Yun shook his head gently and said in an extremely low and bitter voice, "Transferring schools doesn't mean forever goodbye, actually... actually... I..."
These words from Ji Yun only confused Qiu Mo even more.
"What's wrong with you??" she asked.
"Actually, I've been diagnosed with a terminal illness; it's related to my heart," Ji Yun finally blurted out.
Qiu Mo's lips slowly parted, her glacier-blue eyes staring at the man before her, at a loss for words.
"I might not have much time left," Ji Yun continued.
Qiu Mo's face still bore a hint of disbelief.
Was he not just suffering from heatstroke?
Was that why he defended Lou Yu so recklessly?
He had just now violently dragged Luo Yao over...
All these abnormalities were because he knew about his physical condition.
"I owe you an apology; I was so brash the other day when I said all those crazy things to you. Actually, that day... that day... cough, cough." Ji Yun was caught off-guard by some floating dust and started coughing.
"Did you find out about your condition that day??" Qiu Mo asked.
"Ah?" Ji Yun was clearly taken aback; he had not thought of that before, and so he hurriedly said, "Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
"That day... I learned about my condition, and I couldn't accept it for a while, so I poured out everything in my heart to you. I'm really sorry. Actually, I wasn't here waiting for your response; I came to say goodbye," Ji Yun added.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Mo felt even more ashamed.
Oh dear, what kind of literary disease did she have, letting a sick person suffer for three whole days?
While she was still feeling guilty, Ji Yun mentioned a poem without meaning to.
At that, Qiu Mo's little glacier immediately melted!
A boy so sentimental and positive in the face of an unjust fate, and who, like her, loved the poem "Passersby"—how could he lie to her!
No one would joke about having a terminal illness!
She was so petty, actually feeling a bit upset that he had sincerely said goodbye to Lou Yu, thinking he was a vulgar youth, a scoundrel!
"Ji Yun, I believe you will overcome this disease," Qiu Mo encouraged.
Silently, she opened her arms, and this time it was Qiu Mo who initiated the hug.
In conclusion, Qiu Mo's little heart was overflowing, filled with both sympathy for Ji Yun's plight and admiration for him. The thought that she might never see such an exceptional boy again made it even harder for her to control her emotions.
The moment Qiu Mo embraced him, the little devil inside Ji Yun's heart raised its pitchfork high!
Suddenly, the whole teaching building was in an uproar!!
Ji Yun didn't care about the howling around him, and planted a kiss on Qiu Mo's peach-like cheek, Ah, so fragrant, so tender, so smooth, so sweet, wishing he could taste it every morning upon waking.
"Beast!!"
"Ji Yun, this beast!!"
"If I remember correctly, didn't he just kiss Lou Yu in the corridor????"
"The saliva he left on Ren Louyu's cheek hasn't even dried..."
"Yeah, and Qiu Mo doesn't seem to mind at all, even hugging him willingly!"
"Oh my gosh, is Ji Yun going to ascend to the throne!!"
