Third Comb

Fu Tingchuan did not bluntly resist nor did he take initiative. He only stood tall as if he had become a statue.

Jiang Tiao stared at the girls and then at Fu Ting Chuan who had the same expression from beginning to end.

She couldn’t help but laugh.

Tong Jing Nian who is standing next to her sighed, “They enjoy the benefits of the hard work of one's predecessors. It really is convenient for these little spirits.”

Jiang Tiao glanced at her, “You could be younger than them, don’t talk out of place.”

Tong Jing Nian smiled and no longer argued.

Suddenly, she shouted, “Teacher Fu, Sister Jiang is also your fan. She also wants to take a picture, don’t forget to take care of her too.”

Fu Ting Chuan faintly looked over, his expression still the same.

Jiang Tiao’s cheeks reddened. She didn’t want to take a picture at all. She hurried to hide it, “You are also his fan, why don’t you take a picture with him?!”

Tong Jing Nian rolled her eyes, “I already enter the ‘bridal room’ with him. My wish has been fulfilled. You should go take a wedding picture as well. I can’t bear to see those women. Because Teacher Fu doesn’t like rejecting his fans, they cleverly and skillfully became his bride. We never thought that there would be this type of payment.”

Xu Che, hoping to see a good show, walked over to them and said, “Teacher Jiang, take a picture. This is a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity.”

“I’m fine.” Although she declined, her heart was a bit tempted.

"It’s almost over!"

Jiang Tiao was tangled up.

“Hey, they’re really done.” Xu Che sighed, “If you’re really not going to take a picture then the costume department is going to come to put the costume away.

“Ok, ok. I’ll do it.” In the end, she lost the battle with herself and could only raise her hand in surrender.

After the last palace maid finishes taking her photo, Jiang Tiao looks at Fu Ting Chuan with inquiry.

He didn’t say anything and just stood there as if he is waiting for her.

She handed her phone to Xu Che who was too eager to take the picture, put on the gown, and ran to Fu Ting Chuan's side.

It seems that this is the second time she is wearing ancient clothes and standing next to him.

The first time was at Tangcheng when they held hands…..

First, it is to confess her love, next, it is marriage…..

The heat in Jiang Tiao’s cheeks couldn’t dissipate. She lowered her head, tucking in her chin while she stands next to him.

They are about….

Twenty centimeters away.

From what Jiang Tiao can see, this is the right distance. It is not too close nor is it far.

Unfortunately, the photographer was quite unsatisfied. He anxiously waved his right hand, “Stand closer! Why are you two so far apart?”

Tong Jing Nian also joined in, “Yeah! Sister Jiang, stand closer.”

Jiang Tiao, “....”

She moved five centimeters closer.

Xu Che was still unsatisfied, “You’re still too far apart! What is this! It looks like you’re going to divorce right after getting married. Many fans are eager to take a picture with Chuan Chuan! Are you really his fan….”

Before he could finish what he is saying, Jiang Tiao only feels her right shoulder being pulled hard. Unable to maintain her balance, she swayed to the left.

Her shoulder hit the man’s upper arm.

Stunned, Jiang Tiao turned to look at Fu Ting Chuan––

“Good, good, just like this! I’m going to take the picture now! Quick! Smile!” Photographer Xu finally revealed a smile.

Jiang Tiao looked at the camera and squeezed out a smile.

After the sound of the shutter was heard, the hand on her shoulder immediately fell down.

“Don’t waste time.” The owner of the hand said and walked down the stairs.

Embarrassed, Jiang Tiao could still feel the warmth of his hand on her shoulder. When she felt the cold from her phone when Assistant Xu handed it back to her, she realized that it is not a dream. It is a reality.

Jiang Tiao looked down at the finished product. Her face is probably as red as a tomato.

It really looks like….a wedding photo. Or more accurately, it is a picture of a couple role-playing–––

Even though her clothes were mismatched, Fu Ting Chuan….looks like he is smiling.

Xu Che stopped the car and went out of the parking garage with Fu Ting Chuan.

The two walked side by side. After receiving a satisfactory answer about Xiao Mi’s situation, Fu Ting Chuan didn’t say anything else.

Xu Che narrowed his eyes at him and casually mentioned, “Old Fu, I have a little secret to tell you.”

“Not interested.” Fu Ting Chuan coldly replied.

Xu Che immediately said, “Oh, but it’s about Jiang Tiao.”

“Talk.”

Xu Che gave him a look that says ‘I knew you were going to act like this.’ “When I was using Jiang Tiao’s phone to take pictures for you, I saw that her wallpaper is a picture of you. You! Or it’s a picture she secretly took of you!”

He turned to Fu Ting Chuan and used both his hands to make a gun gesture, “Happy? Do you like this information?”

Fu Ting Chuan stopped and said, “You go first.”

Xu Che, “.....?”

Fu Ting Chuan, “Go.”

Xu Che blankly stared at him but still went ahead without looking back at him. Confused, he whispered, “What are you up to?”

Fu Ting Chuan followed closely behind him. I’m not up to anything, just sneaking a smile.
