Chapter 239 The gap between the loser and the heroine

"Shinju-chan, I've already done my makeup. Do you need to prepare anything else for the next photoshoot?"

"Eh!?"

Qian Xinshou was obviously startled when he was suddenly asked this question.

Especially when everyone turned to look at her, she was nervous and subconsciously reached out to scratch her long hair that fell on her shoulders because she was ridiculed and alienated by her classmates due to her good figure and advanced development, which made her a little introverted and self-abased.

"I still need to prepare a shooting location. Also, if there is no light, it is best to find a slightly brighter place."

Qian Xinshou's voice was very low, and he stuttered and hesitated due to nervousness.

But everyone understood what she meant.

"I know the store has the space and tools to shoot hair models, and the lighting is bright enough!"

Kitagawa Umi said this and turned to look at Riho.

"Sister Riho, can you lend us your space for a while?"

"Of course, you can go there by yourselves. Nouwa told me this when she called to make an appointment." Riho quickly put away her curiosity and said with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

"But when I'm done, please take a picture of me and Iura-kun~"

"no problem!"

Kitagawa Umi smiled and made an OK sign, then took Iura Hide's hand intimately and said impatiently: "Senior, let's go over there!"

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, the others quickly forgot about the little episode between Eriri and Mashiro, and like Kitagawa Umi, everyone's eyes lit up with anticipation.

After all, apart from Kitagawa Umi, his official girlfriend, the others, even his younger sister Motoko, and Hori Kyoko and Yoshikawa Yuki, who have been friends with Iura Hide for more than a year, have never taken photos with Iura Hide.

To be more precise, they don't even have a single photo of Iura Hide. Only Hoshino Ai had secretly taken a photo of Iura Hide.

If there was such an open opportunity to take a photo with Iura Hide, even Kitagawa Umi would be so excited and looking forward to it, let alone them.

In comparison, Eriri and Mashiro's playful 'quarrel' isn't important at all!
"What posture should I take later?"

"It's a pity that Haimeng-chan is right next to us, otherwise..."

"Would it be inappropriate to use the photo of Xiu and I as my phone's wallpaper and screen saver? But I really want to do that!"

Everyone had their own thoughts, and they followed Kitagawa Umi and Iura Hide, and left in the blink of an eye.

This made Ichichi Hongxia, who was the only one left, dumbfounded.

"Hey, hey! Don't do that! I also..."

Ijichi Hongxia was so anxious that she almost ruined her eyebrows, and finally she calmed down reluctantly.

“Forget it. With so many people here, I’ll have to wait a long time. It’ll be the same even if I put on my makeup and style my hair before going over. But why did Liang follow her? She doesn’t seem to have any feelings for Xiu, right? ”

Yidizhi Hongxia was puzzled.

However, she forgot that Yamada Ryo was very short of money in order to collect more guitars and basses.

"I'll take a few more photos of the show later, and have him sign them after they're developed. When the band becomes popular, I can sell them and get a few guitars, right? I'm so smart!"

Normally, Yamada Ryo would be sleepy and slow to react at this time, but at this moment, there was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes, and he secretly gave himself a thumbs up.

At the same time, Riho on the other side also reacted.

All the people who meowed for her have left, so who will she do it for next?!

"Hey! Wait! Come back to me, one of you—"

Usually when this happens, the unlucky ones are just passers-by, and they usually have nothing to do with the protagonist.

But as we all know, Hoshino Ai and Pochi-chan are not ordinary protagonists. One of these two was cheated by a scumbag at the beginning, and died in the first episode of the original story. The other one... let's not mention it!

You have to choose one of these two.
"Then I'll go back!"

In order to maintain her perfect image and also to maintain harmonious relations within the band, Hoshino Ai finally suppressed her reluctance and gave up the opportunity to take photos with Iura Hide to Pochi-chan, and stayed to do the styling herself.

After noticing this scene, Motoko, who was standing by, hesitated for a moment, and then took the initiative to stay and stay with Hoshino Ai.

This made Hoshino Ai feel warm in her heart. She thought that she was able to leave that cold welfare home and come to such a warm and harmonious family all because of Iura Hide. The gratitude and love that were already overflowing in her heart were almost overflowing.

As for Pochi-chan who was being humbled, she was not particularly happy at the moment. Instead, she felt a little embarrassed.

After all, Hoshino Ai is just a middle school student.

It is really hard to describe the feeling of being treated with courtesy and care by a middle school student who is three years younger than me. Even though other people may not think much about it or even notice it, Pochi-chan still can't help feeling socially dead.

It was not until she lowered her head and glanced around cautiously with the corner of her eye, and found that no one was looking at her, that she breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, everyone else's attention was focused on Iura Hide and Kitagawa Umi at the moment, and no one was paying attention to her.

"This is it—"

The so-called shooting location is actually just another rest area for guests to wait.

However, the furnishings in this rest area are relatively simple. By moving them around a little, enough space for shooting can be cleared. In addition, the store often hires models to shoot hairstyle samples, so there is a full set of screens and lighting in the utility room. As long as they are taken out and arranged a little, the shooting needs can be met.

Afterwards, there was no need for everyone to work together. It only took Iura Hide, Kitagawa Umi, Ozora and Sugaya Noha less than three minutes to set up the venue.

"What do I do next?"

Iura Hide turned his head to look at Inui Shinju, and he didn't know if it was because Hori Kyoko and the others were surrounding him, but he suddenly felt a little embarrassed as it was his first time as a model.

On the contrary, Qian Xinshou seemed like a completely different person when he entered working mode. He raised his head which had been lowered all the time, and his back which was slightly hunched due to the heaviness beyond his age straightened up. Even his speech became louder and more fluent.

"Well, Senior Jingura looks a little nervous. The first thing you need to do now is to relax." Qian Xinshou said as he looked Jingura Xiu up and down with a professional eye.

"Well, let's try to film the crew first~"

As we all know, relaxation is easier said than done.

At least at this moment, even if Jingpu Xiu knew that he needed to relax, he couldn't do it immediately.

Therefore, Qian Xinshou planned to follow the usual method to deal with such situations. He first asked Jingura Shu to pose in some positions, took a few test shots, and gradually relaxed during the shooting process.

only.
“Eh? We’re just taking promotional photos, do we really need to do this?!”

Jing Pu Xiu was performing various "exaggerated" postures under the command of Qian Xin Shou. Qian Xin Shou even did some of the inaccuracies himself, and asked with confusion.

"Click! Click!" The sound of shutter clicks could be heard from time to time.

Qian Xinshou patiently explained as he took the photo: "These actions are not needed for promotional photos. These actions are to help senior relax better."

"After all, once you get used to these poses, it will be easy to relax when shooting other simple movements later."

"It's like liberating one's nature in acting. Once an actor gets used to liberating his nature, he won't be constrained when performing other roles."

After listening to this, Jingpu Xiu had to admit that what Qian Xinshou said made sense.

Moreover, the movements that Qian Xinshou asked him to make were not particularly exaggerated, at least not like Gogen Ruri meowing in front of the mirror, which made even the people who watched it feel embarrassed.

but
Looking at Hori Kyoko and the others, grinning, taking out their cell phones and frantically pressing the camera button, the intensive "click" sound was just like walking on the red carpet at some ceremony. He still felt extremely ashamed.

"I always feel like this will become my dark history."

Jingpu Xiu murmured in his heart.

However, it turns out that Qian Xinshou's method is indeed effective.

After taking several sets of awkward photos with dull eyes, stiff smiles and somewhat exaggerated body movements, it was so easy for him to go back to taking those simple poses.

And all in all, it took less than twenty minutes to complete the shoot.

"Senior, please take a break first, and Shinju-chan, please take pictures of Senior Liang first!" Sugaya Noha spoke before anyone else.

Although she also wanted to take a photo with Iura Hide now, immediately, and right away, as the band's manager, she definitely thought that criticism was more important.

only.
It must be because Yamada Ryo was quite relaxed and didn't look nervous at all. Inui Shinshou took pictures of her much faster than when he took pictures of Iura Hide before.

Starting from the time I got to Yamada Ryo Station and arrived in front of the curtain, it only took five or six minutes to take two sets of usable photos.

Moreover, while Inui Shinshou was photographing Yamada Ryo, the others were not idle either.

If there is no professional photographer to help them take pictures, they can also take selfies with their mobile phones.

"Master Xiu! Let's take a picture!"

It seemed like she had given up everything, and Eriri didn't even wait for Kitagawa Umi, her legal girlfriend, to come over first, but she rushed over first.

He held Iura Hide's arm with one hand and pressed his whole body against Iura Hide, as if he wanted to seal Iura Hide tightly with his A.

One hand held up the phone high, the corners of her mouth curled up to reveal a sweet, bright and lovely smile, and her fair and tender cheeks were flushed because she was too excited.

But before she could adjust the shooting angle and complete the composition, Mashiro, who had been quiet like a doll, had already quietly approached from the other side.

Then, as if deliberately provoking her, she used her little rabbit, which was two sizes larger than Eriri's, to seal Iura Hide's other arm.

"???"

The smile on Ying Lili's face froze, and it took her a full second or two to react.

"Hey, hey! I was here first, okay!"

After coming to her senses, Eriri glared at Mashiro angrily like a puppy guarding its food.

However, Mashiro seemed not to have heard it. She just glanced at Eriri with contempt out of the corner of her eye with an expressionless face, and then raised her cell phone on her own, which made Eriri immediately furious.

However, even though she was furious, Eriri surprisingly didn't say anything else, because she didn't have much time left!
Mashiro's speed in finding the angle is even faster than that of this 'popular artist'!
She was obviously the first one to arrive, how could she let Mashiro take the photo first?
In that case, wouldn't she lose to Mashiro again?

"No! I won't lose to this guy!"

Under Mashiro's stimulation, Eriri entered the fighting state again.

The anger on her face disappeared in an instant, and then in the blink of an eye, it was replaced by the same sweet smile as before. At the same time, with her other hand holding a mobile phone, she was looking for the best angle quickly as if she was having a seizure.

For a moment, even fellow girls like Kitagawa Umi were stunned by the speed at which Eriri's expression changed.

“Fanatical fans are terrible.”

"It's the same with the three-no natural fool!"

"Forget it, I won't argue with them. I'll just let them take the photo first."

Just as Kitagawa Umi and the others were whispering to themselves, two shutter sounds rang out almost at the same time, making it difficult to tell which came first and which came later.

then
“I took the photo first!”

"it's me."

"It was obviously me who pressed the shutter first!"

"it's me."

"I--"

"it's me."

“Aa ...

Ying Lili's face turned red with anger, but what could she do if she couldn't win the argument?

Even if the victory is determined by the quality of the photos, she, who has the attribute of a loser, cannot possibly win over the heroine Mashiro, not to mention that she even asked Iura Hide to be the referee.

Iura Hide is not stupid, so at this time he would definitely call the game a draw.

Honestly speaking, he felt distressed when he saw Eriri's pitiful look as if she was about to cry.

But before he could figure out how to comfort Eriri, Inui Sasuke had already pulled over Inui Shinshou, who had just finished taking promotional photos for Yamada Ryo.

At the same time, Kitagawa Umi, who originally didn't care who came first or later, immediately changed her expression and rushed to Iura Hide's side, occupying the most advantageous position.

That’s right, the rest of the people don’t matter.

Even if Eriri hugged Iura Hide and kissed him in public, she would not be unable to accept it.

But if it was Inui Sasuke, even if it was just for a photo, I would have to line up behind her!

For a moment, the atmosphere around Jingpu Xiu, which had just eased, became tense again.

However, thanks to this, Eriri, who was originally feeling unwilling, aggrieved and sulking, was distracted. Driven by her instinct to eat melons, she looked curiously at Kitagawa Umi and Inuisa Suzuha.

"Get out of the way! I want to take the photo first!"
