[The full story is complete, though I occasionally revise it. The blurb for my next book is below.]
During an advanced math elective, the sky outside was clear and bright. Shi Qingmiao had been resting her head on her desk, and when she sat up, she met the cool, indifferent gaze of the person beside her.
She froze for a moment, then did something huge:
Right in front of him, she "snapped a candid photo" of Zuo Xu.
*
They say photography is a second language, that everything can be distilled through a lens, and that having someone by your side who shares your passion is a stroke of luck.
When the subject came up, she was the one who asked him if he wanted to be her photography partner.
Shi Qingmiao looked up at the person in front of her. For a moment, all she could hear was her own anxious heartbeat.
Everyone in the mathematics department at Huajing University knew who Zuo Xu was. A famously brilliant student, he was cool-headed and self-disciplined, dazzlingly outstanding.
No one could have imagined that he would willingly become her photography partner.
But the person in question simply said, "If that's what she wants, then I'll do it."
*
One night after a cold war, lights glittered across the lawn as everyone gathered around Shi Qingmiao and someone else.
"So, do you have a boyfriend?"
Looking at the person making such a grand confession to her, Shi Qingmiao paused.
"I..."
The moment the girl began to speak, every light on the lawn suddenly went out.
In the darkness, Shi Qingmiao felt someone abruptly take her hand and pull her into his arms.
Unlike the familiar Zuo Xu she knew, his voice was low and dangerous as he leaned close to her ear and repeated the question with a soft laugh.
"I'm asking for him in advance."
"Would you consider him?"

[Reading tips:

== Below is the blurb for Final Profile, a novel in the same series. Come check it out! ==
Jin Yuan had written countless drafts and interviewed countless people.
She thought she had long since mastered the art of profiling someone.
Until she met Jing Zhisu.
"Senior, do you have a boyfriend?"
At the interview, he asked her this question in front of everyone.
"Is that your only question?" she asked.
"Yes," he replied.
*
Out of his depth.
That was Jin Yuan's first impression of Jing Zhisu, and every time they worked together on a project, that impression only grew stronger.
Even an outsider could see that Jing Zhisu from the physics department was openly in love with Jin Yuan from the Chinese department.
But she only smiled and never responded.
So when he finally worked up the courage to confess, she simply looked at him, the usual gentle smile gone from her face.
"I know," she said calmly.
"...What?"
"I know you've always liked me."
The rain was pouring that day. Jin Yuan thought that was the end of it.
*
Years later, they met again, once more on a rainy day.
Time had left no trace on his face. The two of them stared at each other in silence through a doorway.
He handed her his profile report.
Just as she had when they first met, Jin Yuan flipped through it and asked the exact same question: "Why did you choose this place?"
"Because there's still one question I haven't gotten an answer to."
Her fingers paused.
"...What question?"
"The same one." He raised his eyes, the corners of his lips lifting. "Senior, do you have a boyfriend?"

[A little guide to reading this book:
1. An older woman-younger man romance, spanning university and life after graduation.
2. It's a story about two people learning, little by little, how to love.
P.S. This is a companion novel to I Didn't Take a Candid Photo This Time!]
Theme: Photography captures beauty, too
Shi Qingmiao really didn't dare to make any more moves: "Forget it, I didn't even notice it. Discovered~😳
When can the two of us be together? [Heartbroken]
Hahaha, it feels so embarrassing
[The full text has been completed, thank you for watching ❤️, the following is the advance copy of "The Final Version of Profile"~] Jin Yuan has written many articles and interviewed many people. She thought she had already learned how to profile a person. Until she met Jing Zhisui. "Senior, do you have a boyfriend?" At the interview, he asked this question in front of everyone. "Is that your only question?" She asked. "Yes." He answered. I don't know the depth. This is Jin Yuan's first impression of Jing Zhisui, and this perspective will deepen every time she collaborates with him on a project. Even a discerning person can see that Jing Zhisui is from the physics department and Jinyuan is from the Chinese department. But she just smiled and never responded. So when he mustered up the courage to confess, she just looked at him, her usual soft smile gone. "I know." She said calmly. "... What?" "I know, you have always liked me." It rained heavily that day, and Jin Yuan thought that this was the end. Reunion after many years is still like a rainy day. Time has never left any trace on his face, and the two of them looked at each other silently through a door. He handed over his profiling report. Jin is willing to read through it like she did when they first met, and ask the exact same question: "Why did you choose this place?" "Because there is one more question that I haven't waited for the answer to." She pointed her fingers. "... What's the problem?" "The same one," he raised his eyes and raised an arc at the corners of his lips, "Senior sister, do you have a boyfriend?" [A food guide↘: 1. The relationship between sister and brother, the timeline is on the university campus and after graduation. 2. It is probably a story that teaches two people to love slowly. PS: This is a companion piece to "No Secret Photography This Time"~]
