Time passed day by day, and a turning point came.

I finally contacted that talented photographer. He doesn't take apprentices, only assistants.

And because of his bad temper and the constant payment of breach of contract fines, he doesn't pay much. Almost no one goes to him.

So, he reluctantly agreed to take me in.

After the old man found out, he whipped me with a cane.

I endured it.

Finally, he did loosen up.

In that moment, my mind was filled with thoughts of her, it was about to explode.

Without thinking, I went to find her.

When she saw me, she froze: "You actually peeked at the company's employee addresses?"

"I looked at them openly."

"Shameless."

She said that and was about to close the door.

I let her shut it and stood quietly at the doorway: "I'm going to chase my photography dream, and I might not come back."

Actually, I lied to her.

I will definitely come back.

This was also a small test. If she opened the door, it meant she also liked me.

3, 2, 1.

The coward opened the door.

She scratched her head with a plain face: "How about I treat you to hotpot?"

I smiled: "Sure, let's do it at home. Otherwise, you'll end up crying in the restaurant."

"Get lost."

...

Later, we had hotpot together at her place.

The misty steam enveloped her appearance.

It seemed impossible to grasp.

I didn't want to wait anymore.

Because I felt that if I didn't confess now, when I came back, she might already have children.

"Tomorrow, let's have a team gathering. Consider it as a farewell party for me."

"Alright."

She took a sip of beer, her eyelashes drooping.

It pained me to see her like that.

"Okay."

...

But I didn't expect that as soon as I landed and sent her a message to let her know I was safe, I found out that I had been blocked.

Just as I expected... Tsk, a bad woman.

Fondly, I touched the screen of my phone, the background being the photo I took for her during the last team gathering.

Well, it's already good enough that she accepted me.

Since she needs time, I'll give her time.

Anyway, we have a long future ahead of us.

And she doesn't even know that I was the one who referred her for the job.

Hmph, she can't escape.
