Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Huh? You're still speaking Chinese?

He speaks very standard Mandarin; he doesn't seem to be a local.

But her response was devoid of any mercy, only Lu Ling's emotionless declaration.

"You audacious madman...who ordered you to attack this way? What is your purpose?"

"What attack?! I'm just a lousy photographer!...! Ahhh, I'm really going to die! Help!"

"Lu Ling, Lu Yao, wait a moment."

No matter what Yu Zhe said, he couldn't remain silent any longer.

She gently patted the shoulders of Xiao Lizhi and Zixiao, who were blocking her way, to indicate that it was alright.

Although the girls still felt unsafe and didn't want to give way, since Yu Zhe had said so, they moved a little bit to either side to make way.

Now, the view finally opened up.

Yu Zhe has a clear understanding of the current situation.

The woman Lu Ling and Lu Yao were pressing down on was a young woman with short black hair and red-rimmed glasses on her nose.

She's described as a young woman because she looks to be around thirty years old. In China, she would look like a seasoned young woman who has just graduated with a master's degree and has been working for a few years.

Her appearance might be...okay? But right now, it doesn't look okay. With Lu Ling and Lu Yao holding her arms down, her whole face was contorted, and she was just one step away from shedding two hot tears.

He looked honest, but appearances can be deceiving. Yu Zhe couldn't easily trust someone who had just been running towards him.

After all, they are all here, which means we can't afford to be careless in the slightest.

However... there is someone here who is more knowledgeable about this situation.

"Let her go~ She's harmless, as fragile as a little lamb." Sister Lin Yin leaned against the roadside railing, casually tossing the remaining sandwich to the...

He swallowed it in mid-air and ate it. "There's no one else lurking nearby, and this person doesn't seem to have any real skills. There's no need to make a fuss."

"..."

Lu Ling wanted to make sure everything was perfect, but since Master Lin Yin had said so... then there was no problem.

The girl only relaxed the moment the two women let go of each other's arms, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Lu Yao supported her back with one finger from behind, which allowed her to stand with some dignity.

Although... the tears of grievance welling up in her eyes already had nothing to do with dignity.

"Waaaaah, what the hell? Why am I suffering like this... Who are you people?!"

"I was about to ask you that too!!" Yu Zhe couldn't take it anymore! "Miss? Who are you? Why did you come over like an attacker without saying a word? Anyone would have to be on guard!"

"Huh? I ran... I... Oh right! A beautiful girl! A silver-haired beautiful girl!"

"?!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Well... it's highly likely that this young lady's arm won't be saved today.

But the fact that she was controlled by Lu Ling and Lu Yao again this time was entirely her own fault.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and when she looked up and saw Yu Zhe's face, her eyes lit up, as if she was about to rush over again.

That's absolutely terrifying!

...........

The situation is at least under control.

After being captured twice, the girl finally calmed down for the time being.

Of course, the conversation had moved from the middle of the food street to in front of the shops along the street, as Yu Zhe didn't want to attract too much attention.

"So... can you tell me what you do now?" Yu Zhe asked.

The girl looked aggrieved, but she was very excited!

She had never seen such a beautiful silver-haired girl before!

So when they replied, they were quite proactive.

"Judging from your appearance, are you all tourists from China? My name is Lin Xingxing, and I came here from China to study photography!"

Yang Qiuyun touched her chin, looked at the girl and said, "Hmm...? Why do you look so familiar? Have you been in the local magazine or something recently?"

"Yes, yes! You have a good eye, sister! Hehe... I opened a photography studio in Klömer after graduating from university. I'm not very talented, but I just won the Klömer Photography Gold Award a few months ago. There was a lot of luck involved..."

Wow, you're pretty impressive.

Yang Qiuyun recalls that this award was quite technically sophisticated.

This person won a gold medal at such a young age; he's sure to have a bright future in the photography world.

But... what does this have to do with Yang Qiuyun?

"Hey, I like the term 'older sister,' but... tell me, what were you trying to do just now?"

"Alas!"

This woman's eyes are terrifying!

Otherwise, if you scare my precious son and daughters, do you think I'll give you a friendly look?

Under pressure, Lin Xingxing decisively spoke up.

"I...I was just walking on the side of the road! And then suddenly my occupational hazard kicked in!"

“Miss Lin Xingxing.” The pressure from Zixiao was no less intense. “Please give an explanation that we can understand.”

"Okay! Just like I said before, I'm just a terrible photographer! So I want to capture things that are aesthetically pleasing. You are all beautiful! Especially this young lady! She's so cute, so adorable, she's simply a creation of heaven, a gift from heaven!"

Yu Zhe is under a lot of pressure.

But he doesn't need to feel pressured; the girls will protect him. They stand in the middle in unison, shielding him from view again.

"..."

Yun'er then took a closer look at the person's clothes and appearance.

He wore red-rimmed glasses, a baseball cap, and carried a professional-looking camera. He was dressed in long sleeves and trousers, and his shoes looked a bit sloppy. He wasn't exactly unkempt, but he didn't seem to care much about his appearance.

Does that really fit the image of a professional photographer?

Cough, I don't mean to criticize photographers, it's just that Yun'er used to be the eldest daughter of the Mo family, and she's seen a lot of photographers in banquet halls, many of whom look like her.

Miss Lin Xingxing's gaze even tried to dart to the side, looking for an angle to continue staring at Yu Zhe, which made all the girls very unhappy!

Especially Yu Che, who was clinging to Yu Zhe's arm with her brows furrowed.

If Lin Xingxing continues to keep an eye on her brother, she might have Lu Ling and Lu Yao send her away to a place far away.

Others can keep their thoughts to themselves, but Xiao Lizhi speaks her mind directly!

Little Lychee simply stepped to the side and spread her arms to block Yu Zhe.

"Hey! What are you doing! Don't you know it's very impolite to stare at other people?"

Even little lychees can become possessive of their food when they're upset!

Reminded of her rudeness, Lin Xingxing realized her mistake.

She quickly apologized! Mainly because she didn't want her arm bent at that weird angle again!

"Sorry, sorry! Haha... It's just an occupational hazard. When I see a beautiful scene or person, I want to look at it a little longer and find the right angle. Ah, this silver-haired girl is absolutely stunning from every angle! Hehehe..."

"Alas..."

What kind of pervert are you?!

Also, it's not a silver-haired girl! It's a silver-haired hunk!

Ke Yuzhe was too lazy to refute it; what was the point of explaining this to a stranger?

He unconsciously took a step back, but quickly stepped back again.

He can't leave here; everyone's here.

"Ahem, so, Miss Lin Xingxing, I know this is an occupational hazard of yours. If there's nothing else..."

"Shall we leave now?"

"Hey, wait a minute! Wait a minute! May I take your picture? I've been searching for someone as perfect as you!"

It's definitely an occupational hazard... You want to take pictures, but I might not want to.

Yu Zhe actually dislikes being on camera.

Besides... since she's a professional photographer, this might just be her excuse for soliciting customers and making money.

For example, charging 100 yuan for a single photo is a common practice in the photography industry.

He waved his hand dismissively, trying to get away as quickly as possible: "No need, miss. I don't plan to take photos today. Besides, since you've been featured in magazines and newspapers, it means you're a fairly well-known photographer in the area, right? Professional photography is quite expensive, and I don't need it."

I don't care about money, but I hate trouble.

However, Lin Xingxing's next words stunned Yu Zhe.

"No money required! Absolutely no money required! No... not only no money required, can I give you money?! Any amount is fine!!"

52. Only Success Allowed (3,000 words)

With business acumen like yours, how come your photography studio hasn't gone out of business yet?!

Unfortunately, Yu Zhe is not someone who is short of money.

Money is the last thing he lacks. At the same time, what he fears most is trouble.

So, Xie Yuzhe decisively waved his hand to indicate that he would not accompany him.

“Really, it’s not necessary, Miss. As you can see... we’re also in a bit of a rush. If we have the chance to go back to Kromer in the future, we might come and patronize your business, um... maybe.”

"Maybe" means there's absolutely no certainty.

Yu Zhe turned around gracefully, and the girls followed suit.

They also wanted to go home early and get some rest, as they had a large cathedral to visit in the afternoon!

But no one expected it.
