BXBX NOVEL Chapter 41 - Candid Photos (3)
Lin Xia nodded, “Yes, we must work hard!”
After a short talk, the car had arrived at the main building of this resort. Jia Zhang and his followers got out of the car and led other people in. He left after a few words, leaving two female assistants to company Jia Beilei. He made himself scarce in case he might burden them, as the time was already very tight.
He Bai had found suitable locations on the way. After Jia Zhang left, he immediately asked the team to start. When the team headed to the locations to prepare, he brought the photos of elf series to Jia Beilei, telling her the arrangement of photography.
“Miss Jia, you don’t have to pose for the camera later. The locations I chose are surrounded by trees, on which the fruits have ripened. So, you just need to take the basket and walk around, picking some fruit and flowers. The lighting operators will cooperate with you as best as he can, so will I. So, just relax.”
Jia Beilei was a tall, beautiful girl, who exactly matches the fairy-spirit design concept of elf series. She listened to He Bai carefully and browsed all the photos of elf series with blinking eyes, asking excitedly, “Am I really the first to wear them?”
After all she was a just a young lady, who could not reject the attraction of beautiful clothes.
“Yes, you are.” He Bai smiled at her. The dimple on his left face gave him some childishness, which would made anyone drop the guard and feel affectionate, “You are very tall, Miss Jia, so the clothes suit you well.”
Jia Beilei smiled more brightly, “Don’t call me Miss Jia, that’s too distant. Just call me Beilei or Leilei. The photos you took for sister Xiao Fu are very amazing, I like them. Will you take the same wonderful photos for me?”
He Bai was a little bit surprised, “Jia...Beilei knew Miss Yang?”
Jia Beilei rubbed her chin when she heard He Bai called Yang Fu “Miss Yang”. She laughed in a low voice and replied: “Of course. She is my future sister-in-law. She is engaged to my brother.”
There should have been such a relationship.
He Bai nodded, “Congratulations to them.”
He Bailei suddenly lowered her head and laughed secretly.
He Bai: “...” He wondered whether he had said something funny.
“You are exactly what sister Xiao Fu described-polite to the extent of ‘straight’.” Jia Beilei raised her head and burst out a red-faced smile, “You are a good-looking young man, but speak like my father. That’s so funny. Uh...no offence. I just think you are amiable and good-temperate photographer, much better than those in Saint Elephant who are portentous.”
He Bai didn’t know how to respond, so he just gave a smile. Nowadays, young men were also lively and changeable, which was difficult for him to be used to. In this term, Di Qiuhe was a good boy with consistent temperate— always annoying.
Photographing began in a joyful and harmonious atmosphere. As he said, He Bai didn’t ask Jia Beilei to do any poses. He just allowed her to do whatever she wanted. For fear of her awkwardness, he also put a rabbit in her basket.
Wearing the elf series suit and make-up, Jia Beilei’s new appearance was even more beautiful. She carried the edge of her skirt and looked at the rabbit in her basket with surprise, asking with a slightly higher voice, “How do you know I like rabbit? Thank you! This is the best birthday gifts I’ve received this year.”
He Bai paused for a while and stopped the make-up artist who had intended to say something, smiling, “Good to see you love it. Go ahead, now the sunlight is brilliant.”
Jia Beilei nodded joyfully and went to the deep of the botanic garden with her rabbit. The lighting operator followed her hurriedly and spared enough space for He Bai to take photos.
Lin Xia stepped forward to He Bai, who was adjusting his camera and told him in a low voice, “Nice one on the rabbit, you are very considerate.”
“...” He Bai just sympathized with an elder woman who sold rabbits, so he bought one. It was really a beautiful coincidence. He had intended to send the rabbit to his university’s animal rescue association.
Sunlight dipped into the garden through the gaps of leaves. A young lady with green chiffon skirt was wandering pleasantly. She might pick the fruit, held a flower or played with the rabbit, which was as beautiful as a fine painting. Occasionally, the shutter clicked, producing a harmonious sound with birds and butterflies.
The sunset was near, and the last set of photos was finished. Except Jia Beili, who could enjoy blowing machine, other workers had been drown with sweats.
“Thank you for your hard work.” Jia Beilei looked at the workers with guilt, with the rabbit in her arms, “Sorry, I have been too fond of playing. You must be very tired.”
“No, no, never mind.” The whole team comforted her that it was fine.
The manager of the resort showed up in time and led others to taking shower. He Bai still stayed with Jia Beilei and told her the key points of retouching in details, asking for her opinions.
“He, you are really responsible. I almost fall in love with you.” Finally, Jia Beilei stopped calling him “Brother He”. She sat down and allowed her assistant to remove make-up and take off the ornaments on the hair. She gazed at He Bai with much admiration, “You are so amiable. When I go to the university, I will find a boyfriend as kind as you.”
“...You definitely will.” He Bai stepped back and kept a distance. He didn’t to be mistaken as a wretched man who wanted to abduct a girl.
“You have also worn out. Go have a rest.” Jia Beilei said kindly.
He Bai followed her advice and prepared to leave. But before that, he asked whether she had any plans this night.
“Yep. I have a party with my friends tonight. Personally, I would like to invite you, but you know, girlfriends party, so no boy.” Jia Beilei cupped her face in her hands, sighing sadly, “I know they will all like you, so it may be wise to not invite you. At least they will not distract your attention from me.”
“...Actually, I kinda want to join.”
Jia Beilei stared at him with shock, “What? You want to take my girls?!”
How did she come up with this conclusion.
“No.” He Bai was utterly dumbfounded. He explained, “The 18th birthday is the most important one in your life, so I want to take some photos when you spend this special occasion with your families and friends. I can be disguised into a waiter, so you can ignore me completely.”
Jia Beilei blinked, “Good idea, why haven’t I thought of that before! You are really amazing!”
“I thought it would be a rude request.”
“Not at all! I like it!”
So, that was settled. After dinner, the working team left first while He Bai stayed here and continued his photographing.
After a day-long training, Di Qiuhe turned on his phone secretly. After a thought, he chose to chat with his little dog on Wechat.
Cute Bird Born in Autumn: Evening Bai, what’re doing? ^-^
He received He Bai’s reply after ten minutes.
Little Little White: Evening, I’m taking candid photos for beautiful girls.
The water that Di Qiuhe just opened fell on the ground. He was overwhelmed by shock, confusion, and then anger and somewhat jealousy.
Cute Bird Born in Autumn: What? Candid photos?!
Cute Bird Born in Autumn: No!!! Stop!!!
