After being kicked out of the wealthy family along with her yandere childhood friend
Chapter 114 Taking Photos: A Man's Essential Course in Life
Fortunately, only the two of them were outside the manor tonight.
Bai Tao was wrapped in a bathrobe and held in Pei Jin's arms. There were a few light red marks on her exposed calves, and her hair was still dripping water all the way down.
She leaned against him, so sleepy she was almost unconscious, her head tilted to one side.
Pei Jin carried her back to the room, let her sit on his lap, picked up the hairdryer, and slowly dried her hair.
Bai Tao leaned lazily against him, her hands hanging limply at her sides, too weak to even lift them.
After she turned over in bed and fell asleep, Pei Jin got up, picked up the house gift contract on the table, and neatly signed Bai Tao's name on it. The handwriting was very similar to hers.
He then took out the inkpad, gently lifted her hand that was hanging by the bedside, and pressed his fingerprint on the contract.
Then, I dampened a towel with water and slowly wiped the ink off her fingertip.
She didn't open her eyes even once from beginning to end.
Pei Jin chuckled and curled his lips. What an idiot. Wouldn't he know if someone secretly sold him off?
Pei Jin looked at her for a while, folded the contract and put it back in the file bag, then turned off the light and lay down next to her.
She rolled over, moved closer to him, and then fell silent again.
After lunch the next day, Pei Jin and Bai Tao picked up their suitcases and set off for a nearby ancient town.
Bai Tao wanted to incorporate Suzhou embroidery elements into the design, so they made a special detour to the Suzhou Embroidery Art Museum and stayed for five days in a small courtyard next to a teacher who is an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage.
While Bai Tao was learning techniques from her teacher during the day, Pei Jin was doing something else entirely.
She always appears out of nowhere right after class, holding a small bouquet of flowers.
Sometimes it's a bunch of wild chrysanthemums, sometimes it's a few unnamed wildflowers, wrapped in kraft paper, looking like they were bought casually by the roadside, or like they were specially found after going out of their way.
When the fifth bouquet was presented to Bai Tao, she smiled and reached out to take it.
They are leaving today.
Before leaving, Bai Tao gently hugged Teacher Su Xiu.
Pei Jin stood behind her, pushing a suitcase, his gaze fixed on her, filled with admiration and pride.
His wife is such a good person.
The last stop was Disneyland.
Pei Jin had made arrangements in advance that Disneyland would be open only for Bai Tao that day.
They checked into the hotel in the park the night before. Bai Tao lay on the bed searching for quick queue and photo tips, excitedly flipping through the pages.
The hotel offered a free makeup service in the morning, along with free dresses to choose from. Seven or eight makeup artists were there to serve Bai Tao, who was somewhat flattered.
Pei Jin stood beside her, keeping her company.
A young woman in her early twenties sweetly called her "sister" and patiently introduced Bai Tao to her.
"Sister, take a look. We have a wide variety of clothes here. What kind do you like?"
Some are quite exaggerated, others are more streamlined, but the "Runaway Princess" series is the most popular here.
Bai Tao's gaze was drawn to a rather extravagant pinkish-purple princess-style tutu. She had only worn such an elaborate fairy dress when she was in kindergarten, and today, in the castle, she wanted to try it on again.
This dress comes with a matching headband, and the makeup artist adjusted her makeup to be cute, which matches her outfit perfectly.
Pei Jin, inspired by her outfit, chose to layer a white turtleneck underneath a pink shirt.
She wore wide-leg trousers in a creamy taro purple color, and a purple Lulu bracelet, the same style as the one worn by Bai Tao, on her wrist.
Bai Tao was a little shy when she came out of the fitting room after putting on her dress.
The skirt only reached mid-thigh. She twirled in front of the mirror. Wearing it, Bai Tao looked like a vibrant, youthful college student—very young and adorable.
Several makeup artists surrounded her, exclaiming "Wow!" She felt a little embarrassed; she was trying too hard to look young—she was already 25.
She tried to turn back, but her younger sisters stopped her with a laugh.
"Sister! You look so beautiful today, you'll stun all the handsome guys out there!"
"Exactly, this is normal outfit for you. Every princess who comes here dresses like this!"
"Yes, yes, our princess looks good in anything."
They gently pushed Bai Tao out after pulling back the curtain.
Pei Jin waited nervously outside, already sensing the tension he would feel when Bai Tao tried on her wedding dress in the future.
The moment he saw her come out, Pei Jin slightly adjusted his casual posture.
Bai Tao walked up to him, circled around him, and said somewhat shyly,
"Isn't it too youthful? And the skirt is a bit short. Should I go inside and change?"
She would feel a little shy wearing such a dress if there were many people around.
Pei Jin had been smiling ever since she came out, and now that he saw her trying to run back, he reached out and grabbed her.
"It looks really good, baby, no need to change it."
There was a moment of silence after they left.
Then the little girls were incredibly excited; not only was he their only customer that day, but they also received so many tips they couldn't keep up with the volume.
And this handsome guy said that he'd buy back every single good photo taken today, as long as the girl liked it, for 100 yuan each. Each of them brought several pieces of equipment.
And most importantly, although the handsome guy booked the entire place, he also covered all their expenses for the trip.
They allowed each staff member to bring a maximum of three friends, and everyone was asked to dress as nicely as possible.
Don't worry about getting your clothes dirty or damaged; all the clothing costs, food, and entertainment will be settled by this handsome guy.
Bai Tao thought there would be a lot of people today, but only a few pretty girls walked past them, smiling happily and holding up their phones.
She then relaxed and let Pei Jin take pictures of her.
She squatted in front of the miniature flower house in Zootopia, pouting as if she were knocking on the door.
Pei Jin leaned down and squatted in front of her, holding up his phone, and nervously swallowed.
Bai Tao's legs were already sore.
"Are you done? I'm tired."
Pei Jin pressed the shutter button, but didn't answer immediately, looking down at the screen.
"Wait a moment, we'll be done filming soon."
Without Bai Tao's guidance, Pei Jin's photography skills were quite average, so she wasn't particularly at ease.
But there were fewer people today, so she figured she could take good pictures no matter what!
Bai Tao's squatting posture was unsteady; she squatted down but not completely, because squatting completely would cause her flesh to bulge out, making her look fat. She could only pretend to squat.
Her legs began to tremble, and her smile was fading. She gritted her teeth to maintain her squatting position, her voice squeezing out from between her teeth.
"Pei Jin—are you done yet? Keep pressing!—"
Several girls nearby saw them taking pictures, so they lined up behind Pei Jin and took pictures of her with their phones as well.
Bai Tao smiled at them somewhat embarrassedly. Luckily, there weren't many people today, otherwise, they would definitely have been criticized for taking so many pictures.
Seeing that she was about to get angry, Pei Jin put down his phone, walked over, and reached out to help her up.
"alright."
She leaned on his arm to stand up, then looked down at the finished product he had photographed.
I glanced at it, then glanced at it again, and then everything went black. I pouted and gave my seat to the girl behind me.
Pei Jin noticed her displeasure, adjusted the white peach-shaped bag on his shoulder, and caught up with her.
"What's wrong, baby? Is this one not good? I think it's fine."
"Look, I think it looks good."
Bai Tao sighed, not even wanting to look at it. The photo made her legs look incredibly short and her face look incredibly large.
Bai Tao grew angrier the more she thought about it, and pushed him away.
"Take a look and see if you think it's okay."
You'd better not take any more pictures of me. I'm ready to accept that we won't have any good photos taken today.
I was dressed so nicely, and you only took three photos after I squatted for five minutes.
If you can't win with quality, can't you win with quantity?
You just kept pointing your phone at me and pressing buttons non-stop. Couldn't you take a hundred photos in five minutes?!
Pei Jin followed behind her nervously.
"Don't be angry, honey. Give me another chance. Teach me."
"Haven't I taught you enough? When have you ever taken a good picture?"
Bai Tao paused for a moment.
"Fine, have fun, I'm not filming anymore, I don't want to argue with you."
After saying that, she really stopped taking pictures.
Pei Jin followed behind, so he had to hold up his phone and keep the camera on at all times, snapping a picture whenever he thought it looked good.
Seeing how self-aware he was, Bai Tao didn't say anything more. She just didn't ask him for the photos; she'd look at them when they got back to the hotel that night...
Because we had the entire venue to ourselves today, there was almost no queue at Baitao, so we got to play the most popular attractions several times.
"Wow, Pei Jin, you really know how to pick a day. There are so few people here today."
Pei Jin smiled, still holding his phone in his hand.
"Maybe everyone is too busy today and doesn't have time."
During the parade, each character interacted enthusiastically with Bai Tao and gave her a souvenir gift that reflected their own character.
Bai Tao covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
"Oh my god, Pei Jin, I'm so lucky today. Except for the fact that the photos you took of me were terrible, everything else was great."
Pei Jin coughed awkwardly twice; taking photos is truly an essential skill for every man.
After riding the roller coaster for the fifth time, Bai Tao felt a little tired, so she pulled Pei Jin to sit in the VIP seats in front of the castle and waited.
