Reborn as a comedic artist

"Yu Feng! What are you doing? He's a liar! He's that pervert who took those ugly photos...!"

Lin Yiyi stomped her feet in anger and tugged at her best friend's sleeve in exasperation.

Cheng Ming was already very familiar with this kind of situation. He ignored the furious Lin Yiyi and instead turned his gentle gaze to Zhao Yufeng:

"Miss, if you don't mind, could you perhaps hold your fist back a little...?"

"After all, violence cannot resolve artistic differences."

Moreover… it would easily ruin your dashing and heroic appearance. Look, your muscle lines are so perfect; using them to fight would be a complete waste.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yufeng quickly put his hands behind his back, perhaps to refresh the bad impression he had made at their first meeting.

She stood tall with her chest out and stomach in, displaying her most proud side. Despite being a generous man from Yan and Zhao, her voice became strained.

"Ahem... um, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I'm here... here for tourism. Um, handsome, are you here for tourism too...?"

Lin Yiyi: "???"

"You traitor...!"

Seeing Zhao Yufeng, who was all smiles just a second ago but turned around and immediately knelt down after being two-faced, Lin Yiyi almost fainted from anger.

Knowing that further delay would greatly worsen the situation,

His eyes widened in anger, and he tried his best to put on a fierce expression as he stared at the culprit, launching into a barrage of insults:

"Give me my money back! Delete the photos! Apologize! Or I'll call the police...!"

"Miss, I know you're angry, but don't be angry first..."

Having easily taken control of Zhao Dezhu, Cheng Ming's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a pained expression, as he watched Lin Yiyi still trying to maintain a facade.

Cheng Ming stepped forward, gazing intently at Lin Yiyi, his voice low and menacing, as if he were confessing before a priest:

"Actually, I've been unable to eat or sleep these past few days, tormented by my conscience....!"

I admit that my pursuit of art was too obsessive, and I neglected your feelings...

"I've been searching for you these past few days, and thank God, I've finally found you here..."

................

"ah....?"

Lin Yiyi was stunned. She had imagined countless scenarios of them meeting and bickering or even fighting.

I never expected the other person to kneel down and apologize so sincerely.

Looking into Cheng Ming's seemingly sincere but actually cunning eyes, Lin Yiyi's originally hardened defenses instantly cracked.

After all, who can resist a handsome face offering heartfelt repentance in front of them?

Lin Yiyi's tone softened, and her clenched fist loosened:

"You...you were looking for me? Really? Are you sure you're not hiding from debt collectors...?"

"How is that possible?"

Cheng Ming looked righteous, as if he had suffered a great injustice:

"It's just fifty dollars, I didn't expect you to think of me like that...! What I really care about is the bond between us that we share because of art."

I've come here to make up for what I missed, to reshoot a truly stunning set of photos for you, showcasing your most beautiful side to the world...!

"I don't believe it! Unless... unless you return my money first."

Although Lin Yiyi said that, her eyes had already begun to wander.

Talking about money is so vulgar.

Cheng Ming immediately changed the subject, his gaze returning to Zhao Yufeng.

"Like this woman in blue, she's clearly someone who understands art. This kind of powerful and wild beauty is simply made for the camera!"

If I could take a set of photos for you, they would be absolutely groundbreaking masterpieces, worthy of being submitted to international photography exhibitions...

Cheng Ming's tactic of feigning indifference to lure the enemy, and his mastery of both praising and criticizing, is truly masterful.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yufeng's eyes lit up instantly, and he pointed to his own nose:

"Really? I can take pictures too...? But I'm not very photogenic, I usually just take random pictures..."

"You are mistaken, heroine!"

"You didn't just take random pictures. It's because your temperament is so unique, one in a million. Ordinary cameras simply can't handle your skill..." Cheng Ming gave a thumbs up, his tone so confident that no one could doubt him.

"Only a photographer with a soul like me can see through appearances to the essence, capturing the wildness and untamed spirit within you. Believe me, with just one photograph, I can make your soul burn within the lens...!"

"Take the picture! Take it now! How should I pose? I'll go along with it! I'll even climb a tree if it looks good!"

A true friend is hard to find in life.

Hearing Cheng Ming's affirmation, Zhao Yufeng had long since forgotten about his revenge plan....

Out of excitement, he even tidied his hair and pulled his coat down, deliberately exuding a sense of generosity and wealth.

Lin Yiyi watched in stunned silence, feeling like an outsider:

"Yu Feng! Wake up! He'll make you look like a monster! Look at that photo of me, my nostrils are almost bigger than my eyes!"

"Oh, Yiyi, look how handsome he is, his taste must be amazing. Last time it must have been an accident..."

Zhao Yufeng was completely deaf to Cheng Ming's sweet talk and even tried to explain for Cheng Ming: "Maybe you weren't feeling well that day. Besides, we're already here, so why not give it a try?"

............................

Cheng Mingchong snapped his fingers at Wang Shuo, who was hiding in the crowd, and the latter immediately understood...!

Although he was internally screaming, "This is actually possible...?",

But his body language betrayed him; he immediately adjusted the camera, aimed it in this direction, and activated covert shooting mode.

"Come on, heroine, for our first picture, we need to show a domineering aura of 'strength to uproot mountains and spirit to overwhelm the world'."

Cheng Ming directed Zhao Yufeng to a stone lion, a place bustling with people, the perfect stage for a "social death".

"One foot is placed on the stone base, yes, the base of that stone lion..."

Yes, yes, yes, lean forward to show off your back lines.

Make a fierce look in your eyes, imagine you are the guardian of this ancient town, and beat up anyone who dares to skip the ticket...!

Bring out that "this road is mine" attitude...

Zhao Yufeng was an honest man. Without saying a word, he lifted his long leg and stepped directly onto the stone seat.

She put her hands on her hips, leaned forward sharply, and stared intently ahead.

The aura that burst forth in that instant, combined with her hot figure and taut muscle lines, was surprisingly... somewhat captivating, but also full of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur).

Passersby stopped and pointed at each other.

"What's that girl doing?"

"Performance art, I guess...!"

"He looks pretty fierce, like he's collecting protection money."

Amid the puzzled expressions of many tourists...

"Snap!"

Cheng Ming pressed the shutter of his camera, capturing this astonishing scene.

"Good! Hold on! That tension is fantastic!"

Cheng Ming cheered loudly, as if he had captured some masterpiece:

"Next, 'A smile that could launch a thousand ships'...!"

But to highlight your unique characteristics, we must do the opposite and make a "glance back that startles even the gods"!

Yes, turn around, with your back to the camera, then suddenly turn around...

Use your gaze to kill the camera... make the viewer of the photo feel a chill that goes straight to their soul!

Zhao Yufeng was having a great time and immediately turned around.

Then he suddenly tossed his head, his hair flying wildly, his eyes fierce as if he wanted to devour someone, and his mouth slightly open, making a roaring gesture.

"Snap!"

Another one.

Hearing the same words, Lin Yiyi covered her face, unable to bear to look, and squatted on the ground, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She could already imagine what those two photos would look like...

It's highly likely that one is a bully who looks like he's urinating or defecating anywhere, and the other is a rabid dog that looks like it's turning its head to kill.

"Perfect! Absolutely perfect!"
