Chapter 550
[541] Cannot send Song Zhiyu and Xie Wanqing
"I'll open the GIF and take the picture."
Chen Xingruo took photos with her phone in the trunk, and when Chen Xingzhu came over, she asked her sister to make a heart shape with her hands.
"You also know about the new features."
Xu Jinhuan was quite surprised. Apple had released Live Photos, commonly known as "animated images," on the iPhone 6s in 2015, but it didn't become popular until ten years later. He had recommended it to a few girls long ago, but Chen Xingzhu and the others didn't like it, thinking it just took up more storage space. By the way, the storage size displayed for Live Photos on iPhone is only the size of the static images, hiding the animated parts, so the actual size is much larger than the displayed value.
Therefore, Xu Jinhuan was genuinely surprised to hear that Chen Xingruo had taken the initiative to use this function. He couldn't help but glance at her phone. Of course, apart from the flowers and two slender hands that could easily be used as hand models, he didn't see anything noteworthy.
'really……'
Chen Xingruo, who seemed excited to take photos, secretly noticed Xu Jinhuan's subtle observation. She was delighted, but pretended not to have noticed anything and continued taking photos.
So, how could someone whose knowledge of mobile phones is limited to names and storage, and who wouldn't even know if a new model had been released if someone hadn't reminded her?
She knew about this thing entirely because she saw Xu Jinhuan talking about it in the group chat and even recommending it to Chen Xingzhu and the others.
Chen Xingruo secretly kept this in mind and deliberately brought it up in front of Xu Jinhuan. Seeing that it had indeed attracted his attention, she couldn't help but feel a little smug. Although she tried her best to pretend, she still felt a little guilty. So she gritted her teeth and decided to fight fire with fire. She turned around and handed her phone to Xu Jinhuan, pretending to be casual and saying, "Can you take a picture for us?"
Xu Jinhuan couldn't refuse, so he took the iPhone 7 from her hand, took two photos of the two of them, and handed the phone back to them. Just as he was about to say, "Let's get in the car," Chen Xingruo turned her head again, her beautiful big eyes, almost exactly the same as Chen Xingzhu's, blinked gently, and she said very naturally, "My sister said your Huawei phone takes really good photos. Why don't you use yours to take some pictures and see?"
"……Row."
Xu Jinhuan almost burst out laughing for a moment, realizing that girls' thoughts were really hard to fathom. For example, Chen Xingruo had been avoiding him for more than two years, not to mention meeting him, she even consciously avoided chatting in the group.
As a result, now, because of Chen Xingzhu's "approval," she has very quickly moved to another, more extreme level, and has even started to very naturally "command" herself to do the work.
When we first met, Chen Xingruo would also do this kind of thing, but the attitude and meaning were completely different. When we first met, Chen Xingruo did this purely out of naturalness. Whether you call it being unconventional or bossy, it was all due to her personality.
At this moment, the "instructions" and "commands" had little to do with her personality, but rather with the relationship between the two people, or rather, Chen Xingruo's definition of their relationship.
In short, her behavior at this moment was more dependent on her feeling of "closeness" in the relationship between the two.
After the huge success of the Mate 7 in 2014, Huawei collaborated with Leica to launch the P9 series of phones last year—2016. The Mate 9 that Xu Jinhuan had at this time was the standard version rather than the more expensive Pro version, mainly because he didn't like curved screens. However, it had Leica filters and was the generation with the most "Leica flavor" in the history of the Mate series. In an era when almost all mobile phone manufacturers were still in the exploratory stage, the stylistic features brought by the filters alone were enough to make people's eyes light up.
Regardless of whether it's real or not, it just looks better and more high-end than photos taken with other phones.
"So beautiful!"
Even Chen Xingruo, who is often involved in photography, was somewhat surprised by the finished product in this day and age, so she urged, "Send me the photos, and I'll post them on Weibo later."
After a pause, he added, "Send it to me privately, don't send it to the group."
"Row."
Xu Jinhuan didn't ask her why she sent it privately. She sent the photo as she got into the car, but of course she wouldn't be so foolish as to only send it to Chen Xingruo—it was indeed a private message, but it was sent to both Chen Xingruo and Chen Xingruo at the same time. "This one looks good too."
Xu Jinhuan drove to the restaurant, and the two sisters discussed the photos on the way. After they arrived at the restaurant and sat down, Chen Xingruo finally made a decision, posted a Weibo post, and then excitedly urged, "Go and like this post for me."
Chen Xingzhu's Weibo account is not public, so it didn't have much of an impact. Xu Jinhuan still needed to make a statement, so he opened Weibo and saw that she had posted a nine-grid photo, which included a selfie that was obviously "pre-existing," and the other eight were photos that had just been taken.
The caption reads: "A surprise early on my birthday, it's so beautiful! I also discovered that domestic mobile phones take such beautiful photos now, I can post them directly without editing."
"So, the flowers were a gift from General Manager Xu?"
"Probably, doesn't Xu Jinhuan always use Huawei?"
"Those photos of flowers were obviously taken by Huawei."
"Goodness, is this an implication that the flowers were sent by Xu Jinhuan? Is there something going on?"
"Can you people please stop being so sleazy?"
Xu Jinhuan has always used both Apple and Huawei phones, especially since the first Mate model. Many fans are aware of this, so when Chen Xingruo specifically mentioned domestic phones, they immediately understood what was going on.
Twins are already prone to attracting criticism, and with Chen Xingruo's "hint," it immediately drew a lot of ridicule. Although some fans righteously refuted the claims, on the internet, "malicious" comments definitely have a larger market.
Xu Jinhuan checked the comments himself and found them, but since Chen Xingruo pretended they didn't exist, he couldn't respond. So he simply retweeted the post and added a blessing: Happy birthday, forever eighteen!
"It's quite delicious."
Xu Jinhuan accompanied the two of them to breakfast. Although the original plan was just him and Chen Xingzhu, it was not casual. It was a private restaurant that he had inquired about beforehand, and the two sisters seemed very satisfied.
After finishing his meal, he paid the bill and was about to leave when Chen Xingruo turned around and said, "Can I ask you for a gift?"
? ?
Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but widen his eyes, but he had no choice but to answer, "You tell me."
"I want a cell phone, just like your brick-like cell phone."
Chen Xingruo pointed to his gray Mate 9, "Can you give one to me and one to my sister?"
"Row."
Xu Jinhuan could only nod, but before he could say anything more, Chen Xingruo added, "There's one more condition."
She looked at Xu Jinhuan and earnestly added the clause: "You cannot send Song Zhiyu and Xie Wanqing." (End of Chapter)
