Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

The dressing room was filled with a faint scent of perfume and powder. Two rows of clothes racks were filled with all kinds of garments for customers to choose from. The dressing table was piled with shared cosmetics, and several teenage girls were queuing up, waiting for the owner to do their makeup. Their makeup was very simple: a touch of foundation, setting powder, drawing their eyebrows, and a touch of lipstick, and they were done.

The shopkeeper was busy applying makeup to Wu Min, so he told the girls waiting behind him that they could go and choose two outfits each. Seeing that the shopkeeper was extremely busy, and that she was the oldest among the girls, Su Fengnan volunteered to help her younger sister's classmate comb her hair.

"Little sisters, once you've changed your clothes, I'll do your hair. Did you all bring your hair ties?" Su Fengnan asked, thinking that since they were here to take photos, they must have come prepared.

"Sister Su, please comb my hair first, I brought it with me." Li Qing responded immediately.

"Okay, have you chosen your clothes?"

"I've chosen it, it's this Miao ethnic set." Li Qing smiled, her voice filled with excitement.

Upon hearing this, Su Fengnan inwardly sighed, thinking, "Little sister, this ethnic costume isn't cheap." But then she thought, "They've all graduated; being happy is the most important thing," and so she didn't say anything to remind her.

"Um... then you go change first, and I'll comb your hair."

Having lived two lives, Su Fengnan had some experience in hairstyling. She had watched countless videos on makeup and hairstyling in her previous life. The boss was in charge of doing their makeup, while she helped by combing their hair, and the small dressing room suddenly became lively.

Wu Min chose the same style as Xiang Fei's; Su Fengnan had seen this dress in many of her female classmates' photo albums in her past life. Wu Min is tall and slender, and it looked exceptionally beautiful on her. Li Qing chose the same style as Saiya's, exuding a quirky and mischievous charm. Wang Feifei chose a qipao version of Xiao Yanzi's style.

Oh my, what kind of unspoken understanding is this among the three of them? Is this the start of a "Princess Pearl Three Sisters" drama? Su Fengnan thought to herself with a smile.

Seeing that they had all chosen items inspired by the TV series "Princess Pearl," Su Fengxia felt it would be impolite not to join in, so she quietly sought Su Fengnan's opinion. Su Fengnan told her to listen to her heart and not to compromise herself; spending money was for enjoyment, not for settling. In the end, Su Fengxia chose a pink plaid dress. Su Fengnan styled her hair into a playful bun, secured with two white beaded flowers, and deliberately left some wispy strands from her forehead to her temples, making her look youthful and lively.

Regarding her makeup, Su Fengnan had instructed her boss that, as a student, it should be simple and elegant. Therefore, after getting ready, Su Fengxia looked youthful, lively, and adorable.

For their second outfit, the four girls decided to wear school uniforms—white shirts paired with black pleated skirts.

Seeing the four girls' excited expressions, Su Fengnan couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be young! This boss is really good at business. Isn't this just the cosplay that became so popular later?"

Su Fengnan accompanied her younger sister to take a group photo. With her fair skin and well-shaped eyebrows, she applied a light layer of lipstick herself, and only lightly touched up her eyebrows—almost invisible unless you looked closely. Her hair was already tied in a ponytail, with wispy strands framing her face from her forehead to her temples. She didn't choose any clothes from the store; a white T-shirt and jeans were always her go-to outfit.

The two sisters were both wearing white mesh shoes that cost 15 yuan a pair—cheap, versatile, and comfortable.

"Sister Su, are you really not going to choose two sets to shoot with us?" Wu Min asked with some regret.

Su Fengnan smiled and said, "No need, we'll film it next year too. Today is your day, so just focus on filming."

"Su Fengnan, you should persuade your sister. She's already here, let her film with us," Wu Min whispered in Su Fengxia's ear.

"No need, it's my sister's decision, there's nothing I can do about it." Su Fengxia shrugged helplessly.

With everything ready, the boss led them to the photo area. The photographer was sitting on a single sofa, head down, fiddling with his DSLR camera.

"Xiaoyu, why don't you take a picture of these girls?"

After the boss finished speaking, he went to adjust the background for the photo. The photographer didn't look up, just responded with a sound, and continued fiddling with the camera in his hands.

After adjusting the background and lighting, the boss pointed at Wang Feifei and told her to come over.

"Little Swallow, you go first."

The boss's opening remarks made everyone burst into laughter.

"Xiao Yu, let's begin," the boss called out.

Only then did the photographer look up and walk towards the boss.

When Su Fengnan saw the photographer's face clearly, she was quite surprised—it was him! Her last impression of him was that of a composed man working in the system. With his demeanor and looks, if he were a photographer here, she wondered how many girls he would attract to have their pictures taken. Sigh, another heartthrob with good looks.

In her past life, Su Fengnan had witnessed many industries favoring the hiring of young, handsome men and beautiful women; even the lowest-ranking security guards were required to be good-looking. This shows that while good looks are a dime a dozen, they certainly don't diminish their ability to attract attention.

Wang Feifei's shoot had already started, with the boss instructing her on how to pose, while Zhou Chenyu was in charge of filming. After Wang Feifei finished filming, she went to change clothes, and Su Fengnan followed to help her redo her hair. Next came Wu Min, Li Qing, and Su Fengxia.

After they finished taking photos of both outfits, Su Fengnan, who had been standing in the shadows in the corner, came out and told the boss that she wanted to take some photos with the younger sister. The boss nodded and said no problem.

Only then did Zhou Chenyu notice Su Fengnan. Their gazes met in mid-air.

Su Fengnan gave him a gentle smile and nodded slightly, then turned to Su Fengxia and instructed her on how to cooperate during the photo shoot.

Actually, Su Fengnan felt a little embarrassed. After all, her relationship with Zhou Chenyu was that of a victim and a non-victim; they weren't very familiar with each other, and she didn't know how to greet him. So she quickly looked away. She couldn't very well approach him and say, "I know you, can you give us a discount?" That would be too strange.

Even in that close, fleeting moment of eye contact, Zhou Chenyu noticed Su Fengnan's unease. He realized her face wasn't deathly pale this time; instead, it was flushed and rosy, like a shy peach blossom. Her clear, bright eyes held a hint of amusement. Seeing her like this, a sense of pleasure welled up within him.

She was still wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, natural and elegant, like a lotus emerging from clear water.

After explaining things to her sister, Su Fengnan said to the photographer, "Then I'll trouble the photographer again."

"Let's begin!" Zhou Chenyu snapped out of her daze and nodded.

"Go change your clothes first. After we finish taking pictures here, go to the front to choose your photos," the boss said to Wu Min and the other two.

After the three left, the boss continued to instruct them: "You two can walk a few steps, turn around, and look back anywhere."

Su Fengnan took her sister's hand and walked towards the background one after the other. Then they turned around and smiled at the same time, and the two sisters smiled at each other.

Zhou Chenyu raised her camera, found the right angle, and pointed it at them. "That's it, very good."

Click.

Zhou Chenyu moved the camera and took three consecutive shots.

"Let's try a different move," Zhou Chenyu said.

"Okay," Su Fengnan replied.

"Stand in front of the background."

The two sisters stood side by side, and Zhou Chenyu took a proper picture.
