Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Dongxuan Country’s First Group Photo

"Come, let’s take one together too, shall we?" Ling Qianjun switched to the front-facing camera, and the faces of all four of them immediately appeared on the phone screen.

"Wow, it’s me! I’m inside this phone!" Ling Yunge covered her mouth in surprise, blinking several times at the screen.

Ling Qianfan was equally shocked. He covered his mouth, afraid he might scream, and just kept going, "MMPH, MMPH, MMPH!" to express his excitement.

Xu Panqing was so startled that her eyebrows flew up. She leaned closer to the screen and looked at it again and again.

"Are you ready? I’m going to have the Painter draw us now," Ling Qianjun said in terms they could understand, his tone much lighter.

Hearing Ling Qianjun say to get ready, the three of them hurriedly tidied their hair and clothes.

Ling Qianfan bared a wide, eight-tooth smile at the screen; Ling Yunge held up two fingers over her head like bunny ears; Xu Panqing folded her hands in front of her, a gentle smile on her lips.

"One, two, three!"

"Done."

Ling Qianjun pressed the shutter button, then brought up the photo to show the three of them.

Looking at the smiling faces and poses of the four of them in the picture, everyone couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Qianfan, your smile looks so silly! HAHA." Ling Yunge doubled over with laughter at the sight of Ling Qianfan baring his teeth.

Ling Qianfan snorted and fired back, "What kind of pose is that? It’s so childish!"

Seeing the siblings starting to bicker, Xu Panqing quickly intervened. "Alright, alright, both of you say a little less. It wouldn’t be good to wake the others up.

"If you ask me, I think you both posed very well. It’s so vibrant and energetic."

Xu Panqing was quite satisfied with her own elegant posture. However, being on the path of exile, it was inevitable that she looked a bit haggard and her hair wasn’t properly combed.

"It’s fine, we can take a few more. We can keep taking them in the future, too. If this one isn’t good, there’s always the next one." Looking at his family in the photo, Ling Qianjun felt a warmth spread through his heart.

He thought this picture was excellent; everyone looked so full of life. When he went to the grocery store tomorrow, perhaps he could show Hua Buwan this photo so she could see his family.

"Qianjun, then hurry up and take another one! I’ll definitely perform well this time," Ling Qianfan said, rolling up his sleeves and gearing up for action.

Those who didn’t know better would think he was getting ready for a fistfight.

"Qianjun, I’m ready too! Hurry and start, I can’t wait!" Ling Yunge urged him to hurry while fixing her hair.

Xu Panqing also quickly smoothed the stray hairs on her forehead, patted her cheeks with both hands, and practiced her smile a few times.

Taking photos again, they all changed their poses, which was followed by another burst of laughter.

After they finished taking photos, Ling Qianjun played a TV drama for them. It was one recommended by Hua Buwan, who said that people of all ages loved to watch it—especially ancestors like them.

Sure enough, the moment he started it, his mother, brother, and sister were completely engrossed. He was nearly crushed by them as they leaned closer and closer, practically wanting to shove their heads right into the phone screen.

After watching for nearly two hours, Ling Qianjun immediately put the phone away. "Let’s stop here for today. We still have to travel tomorrow, so we all need to get a good rest."

He was afraid that if he let them keep watching, they would stay up until dawn, and that would be a disaster.

Ling Yunge tugged at Ling Qianjun’s arm with a pout and pleaded, "Qianjun, just watch a little longer. Just a little while."

Xu Panqing also stared eagerly at the phone, reluctant to let it go. "Brother Jun, let’s just watch a little longer."

Although Ling Qianfan didn’t say anything, his eyes were glued to Ling Qianjun, filled with longing. He wanted to watch!
