On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

"How about the photos? The weather is really good today, and the light and shadow are great." Chen Qian spoke while biting the lollipop in his mouth, his speech a little slurred.

"It's OK. It can be used."

"When will you be able to say more words, like you did just now?" Chen Qian glanced at him lightly and muttered.

He strolled along the wooden plank road with a bit of boredom. He had climbed all the way up and was now feeling a bit tired.

The wooden plank road was almost at the end, and a figure could be seen swaying ahead.

That location is what is mentioned on the Internet, the so-called "God's perspective", which is located a little further up from the origin of the waterfall. It is said that you can see the magnificent scenery of the waterfall flowing down at a glance.

When Chen Qian was preparing at home, he had his eyes on this spot and planned to take good pictures there.

From time to time, someone passed by, trying to return to the other end of the plank road.

Chen Qian pulled Zhong Yi forward little by little until someone in front stopped and started talking to them.

"Little brother, you have to wait a while to take pictures. There are a lot of people inside." The two girls who were walking towards him stopped a few steps away and reminded him in a gentle voice.

"Really? Thank you." Chen Qian nodded in response with a smile, then put an arm around Zhong Yi and whispered, "Say thank you quickly! Can't you see the girls are all looking at you?"

When the two girls saw this scene, they immediately laughed and said shyly: No need, it’s okay.

"You two are really good friends, traveling together." Chen Qian sighed as he looked at the two girls holding each other's arms.

"Eh?" The two girls looked at each other and burst out laughing. They opened their arms and then held them together, saying, "No, we are actually a couple. You wouldn't have thought that."

Chen Qian wasn't surprised at all, instead, he felt a sense of accustomed to it. "You're a couple, that's great. No wonder you look so happy."

"But you are the same as us, right?" One of the girls with shoulder-length hair blinked mischievously, her words carrying profound meaning.

Chen Qian's smile froze, and he waved his hands nervously, "No, no, we're partners, on a business trip together."

Zhong Yi, who had remained silent the entire time, also looked at the girl with a disapproving look and said, "You are totally wrong."

The girl didn't seem embarrassed by the objection, but instead smiled even more happily, "I'm so sorry, my gay predictions are always accurate."

"Goodbye, little brother. I hope to see you again at the exit!"

Chen Qian waved goodbye to them and turned to look at Zhong Yi: "Big~ wrong~ EXTREME~ wrong~, am I some kind of mean person? When you say something like that, at least be polite!"

"That's what it is."

"I told you to be more polite when you speak to me!"

……

I had lunch at a restaurant in the scenic area and chose a restaurant that served decent local cuisine.

After ordering, wait for the food to be served.

Chen Qian held the camera and carefully examined the masterpiece he had just taken from the "God's perspective".

The lighting and shadow angles are very good, and every picture is great. I just don’t know which ones Zhongyi will choose to include in the manuscript.

After looking at the photos, Chen Qian put the camera into his camera bag.

He took his phone with him, stood up and said to Zhong Yi, "I'm going to the bathroom first. You can eat first when the food comes."

Zhongyi nodded casually.

Following the signs, Chen Qian turned all the way to the rest area intersection. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the shadows of a family of three. The father's back looked surprisingly similar to Chi Mujing.

"What a coincidence." He couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After coming out of the bathroom, Chen Qian shook off the water droplets on his hands.

After relieving his physical discomfort, he was in a good mood and returned along the same route humming a little tune.

When turning a corner, something caught Chen Qian's sight at that moment, causing him to subconsciously stop and retreat behind the wall.

The song he was humming stopped, and after a "Ha--" that sounded like disbelief but more like a sneer, he couldn't help but curse softly.

He leaned his head back against the wall, ruminating on the scene just now, and felt that a corner of the world was slightly distorted.

A man in casual clothes stood at the restaurant door, looking inside, holding a small child of no more than three or four years old. Beside him stood a beautiful woman in a floral dress, teasing the child with a faint smile.

In such scenes, Chen Qianzhao would usually just sigh quietly in his heart: What a wonderful family, warm and harmonious.

But what if he said that the man was Chi Mu and the woman was his famous fiancée Shi Xixi?

In this way, the child of the two who only occasionally appeared in the news...

Pictures are more penetrating than words.

But no one said that this thing penetrated his heart.

Chen Qian stood there for a long time.

It took so long that Zhongyi felt strange and started calling him.

"The dishes are all here." Zhong Yi's voice came over in a light voice.

Chen Qian opened his mouth several times, but his throat felt like it was filled with a ball of cotton and he couldn't speak. He could only suppress a "hmm" as an answer.

Turning sideways, Chen Qian carefully leaned out to confirm that the family of three was nowhere to be seen. Then he walked out of his hiding place and returned to the restaurant along the same route.

"Just say it if you have something to say." Chen Qian was absent-minded. He tried to pick up the tender fish in front of him for a long time but failed, so he gave up.

He raised his head and looked straight at Zhong Yi who seemed to be hesitant to speak but could not.

"You saw it."

"what did you see?"

Zhong Yi tilted his head, avoiding Chen Qian's carefree and anger-free gaze. He said firmly, "Your ex-boyfriend."

"Well, my ex-boyfriend and his wife and children." Chen Qian said calmly.

After lunch, Zhong Yi took the initiative to stop the field trip and persuaded Chen Qian to go back to the hotel with him.

"There's no rush." ​​Zhong Yi looked at the rainbow hanging slowly in the misty sky. "Come back tomorrow."

Chen Qian was unusually stubborn at this moment. He shook his head and continued to hold up the camera to take pictures in the lush vegetation.

His fingers tapped the keys lightly, and the keys made a slight sound, followed by the click of the flash.

"You want to see them?" Zhong Yi didn't quite understand the reason behind this stubbornness, but he knew that staying here in this state would be useless.

Instead of waiting until we actually meet them in this huge scenic area, it’s better to just leave.

But Chen Qian's calm emotions seemed to surge after his question. His hands suddenly dropped weakly, and the camera was stuck on his chest by the strap, shaking gently.

Chen Qian's voice was so soft that it was almost drowned out by the sound of the waterfall.

He asked in confusion: "I was the one who asked to come together first, so why did he bring others along…"
