Chapter Sixty-One: A Grown Man Fussing About

He Die looked at her work with great satisfaction.
“Come on, come on, let's try another pose.”
She even walked up to the couple and personally adjusted their positions.
Once she had them arranged to her liking, she pressed the shutter.
To Luo Yixia’s surprise, she didn’t see the slightest trace of impatience on Song Chengyi’s face.
Nearby, Su Sheng squatted on the ground, idly watching ants.
He’d never seen a girlfriend like his own, running off to take pictures of other couples, and apparently addicted to it.
Luo Yixia stood beside He Die, cupping her face. “You really take great photos.”
He Die giggled. “My photography skills are top-notch! Watching the two of you, I’m so envious. Sweet love is truly wonderful.”
“Don’t you have Su Sheng?” Luo Yixia gave her a pointed look.
“If only Su Sheng were half as handsome as Song Chengyi,” He Die sighed.
“But Song Chengyi has a terrible temper,” Luo Yixia whispered.
“I noticed. Only you could manage someone like him. We walked all morning, and I didn’t hear him utter a single word voluntarily. If it were me, I couldn’t stand it—I’d suffocate. Handsome as he is, that personality just isn’t my type.”
The two girls stood together, endlessly complaining.
Meanwhile, Song Chengyi and Su Sheng stood side by side, watching the girls, as if their conversation would never end.

Su Sheng glanced at Song Chengyi, intending to find a topic, but seeing he had no desire to speak, he gave up.
After standing for a while, unable to bear it any longer, he called out, “Die, it’s almost noon. Let’s go eat?”
“Wait, wait,” He Die ignored him, still chatting with Luo Yixia.
Su Sheng walked over again, nagging for a bit, and when finally it was time, the four of them went to the buffet for lunch.
At last, Luo Yixia had a comfortable meal.
Leaving the restaurant, she contentedly rubbed her stomach. “I’m so full.”
“Who told you to eat so much?” Song Chengyi teased.
“It was delicious,” Luo Yixia replied with a silly grin.
“Yixia, let’s go up Mount Fuji this afternoon, shall we? We can take the cable car,” He Die said, linking arms with her.
“Sure!”
Girls, after spending a morning together, act as if they've known each other for years—their friendship develops at lightning speed.
But when they turn against each other, it’s like they don’t even know you.
“We’ll head back first. See you at two in the afternoon,” He Die called as they returned to their lodgings.
“Okay, see you this afternoon.” Each pair went to their own rooms.
Luo Yixia found a chair and sat down. “We’ve been running around all morning. I’m exhausted.”

Song Chengyi sipped his water slowly.
“If we return to Tokyo, can we visit Suga Shrine?”
Song Chengyi had never heard of the place and instinctively asked, “What do you want to do there? Pray?”
“It’s the filming location for ‘Your Name.’ I’ve wanted to go for ages,” Luo Yixia said wistfully.
“Oh.” Song Chengyi hadn’t seen the movie either; he responded absentmindedly, showing no interest.
“Don’t tell me you haven’t seen it? It’s so good—I cried watching it,” Luo Yixia pouted.
Song Chengyi turned his head aside, avoiding her gaze, and quietly drank his water.
“I also want to visit Mitsuha’s hometown, the Miyamizu Shrine, Itomori…”
Actually, Song Chengyi used to love anime, especially One Piece, but as he got older, he didn’t have much time to watch anymore.
He knew anime often featured real-life locations, and the places mentioned could be found in reality.
He could understand Luo Yixia’s desire to visit them; after all, he’d bought plenty of One Piece figurines himself in the past.
