Chapter 216: Modified: Chapter 216 Photo
Standing on the podium, Bi Xiaoyuan beamed brilliantly and waved at Bi Xia below the stage. When the school leader handed the trophy and prizes to Bi Xiaoyuan, he grinned broadly, raised everything in his hands towards Bi Xia, and the joy he felt was palpable even to Bi Xia in the audience.
Taking out his cell phone, Bi Xia opened the camera, found the right angle, focused, and captured every action and expression of Bi Xiaoyuan, one shot after another. Suddenly, he heard loud shouts from the stage. Looking up, he saw Bi Xiaoyuan waving at him. "Brother, let’s take a picture together!"
Before Bi Xia could react, Bi Xiaoyuan ran off the stage, trotted to his side, grabbed his hand, and pulled him towards the stage.
On stage, Bi Xiaoyuan stood excitedly beside Bi Xia, handed Bi Xia’s cell phone to the homeroom teacher, his eyes sparkling, and said to the teacher, "Teacher, please take a picture of my brother and me!"
"Sure!" The homeroom teacher made a gesture.
Bi Xiaoyuan suddenly called Bi Xia closer, "Brother, come closer, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Bi Xia bent down with a smile, only to have Bi Xiaoyuan tiptoe and lightly poke his side face. At that moment, the homeroom teacher’s camera captured the moment perfectly.
Bi Xia paused, nodded to the homeroom teacher, then straightened up and patted Bi Xiaoyuan’s head, "Stealing a kiss from me? So happy about winning?"
"This is different," Bi Xiaoyuan shook his head and looked up at Bi Xia. "This is my first time winning the championship, and also the first time taking a photo with you."
Bi Xia froze, looking at Bi Xiaoyuan’s little face, feeling a bit sorrowful. Indeed, it was true; they didn’t have a proper photo together...
Thinking about this, Bi Xia smiled bitterly. No wonder in his past life, Bi Xiaoyuan had desperately collected his photos and merged them with his own...
It was all just to have a photo together...
Feeling a twinge of pain, Bi Xia knelt on one knee beside Bi Xiaoyuan, and with his long arm lightly hugged Bi Xiaoyuan’s shoulders, he said to the homeroom teacher, "Teacher, can you please take another picture of us two?"
"Of course, you two are so photogenic, you can take as many as you want." The homeroom teacher was a fan of good looks and had remembered this handsome boy since the last time Bi Xia came to stand up for Bi Xiaoyuan. Now that the handsome boy was requesting a favor, how could she refuse?
At the moment the homeroom teacher clicked the camera, Bi Xia suddenly turned his head and kissed Bi Xiaoyuan’s small face. Bi Xiaoyuan was momentarily stunned, then a large smile spread across his face, with endless joy and excitement sparkling in his dark eyes.
Taking the phone handed back by the homeroom teacher, Bi Xia thanked her and then squatted down to look at the photos with Bi Xiaoyuan. When they saw the last photo, the one where Bi Xia kissed Bi Xiaoyuan, Bi Xiaoyuan covered his face and giggled.
Pointing at the photo, Bi Xiaoyuan said to Bi Xia in a happy and serious tone, "I like this photo the most."
"Brother, can you send this photo and the previous one to Mom? She will definitely be happy to see them!"
"Of course." Bi Xia nodded, smiled gently at Bi Xiaoyuan, and pinched his nose, "Do you like taking pictures with your brother?"
"Yes!"
"Then let’s take lots of pictures together in the future, okay?"
"Okay!" Bi Xiaoyuan replied loudly and stretched his small arms wide.
"I want to take many, many photos with my brother and fill our home with them. That way, even if one day you’re not by my side, when I miss you, I can look at our photos and remind myself that you love me a lot and that you are always with me. This will give me the strength to wait for you to come back."
Swallowing hard and thinking for a moment, Bi Xiaoyuan added, "And Mom, we have to take pictures with her too, all three of us as a family."
A surge of complex emotions overwhelmed Bi Xia as he hugged the little bun with slightly reddened eyes. This was why Bi Xiaoyuan had been so obsessed with finding photos of the two of them in his past life...
I’m sorry, brother is sorry for not doing even this simplest thing for you and Mom. It will never happen again...
Kissing Bi Xiaoyuan’s forehead, Bi Xia smiled softly, "Alright, let’s take them together."
