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

in one breath.

Because her expression was one of satisfaction, not rage.

"Okay, then you can count how many photos there are in total. I'll charge you two thousand yuan per photo."

"Two thousand...?! Two thousand per bill?! Little sister... no, young lady! This is too much, young lady, I dare not accept it!"

"Why wouldn't I dare accept this?" Yu Che rolled her eyes at her, then admired the photos again. "You know, spiritual nourishment is priceless. A meal at a high-end restaurant can cost thousands, so spiritual nourishment is even more valuable. Besides, didn't you originally plan to use these photos to make a fortune? Unfortunately, you definitely can't use these photos. Consider this compensation for your emotional distress. It's reasonable, isn't it?"

That makes perfect sense! Absolutely perfect!

Yu Che was careful with her money; she wasn't spending it recklessly. She just felt that the women's clothing she bought for her brother was worth the price.

No, if we're talking about price, it's definitely priceless. Isn't this just a symbolic little reward for Lin Xingxing as the photographer?

Despite Lin Xingxing's excellent photography skills, she rarely gets a commercial order that can earn her a decent amount of money. Normally, sitting here in her shop, she can only earn a few hundred yuan a day.

The Klömmer Photography Awards she was going to participate in only offered a total prize of 50,000 for first place.

You've given me the championship prize money right here...

Boss atmosphere!

Yu Zhe, holding down the hem of her cheongsam, walked over in a rather awkward and cautious manner.

"Uh, Yu Che, isn't this a bad thing to do?"

"Hmm...? Brother, what's wrong?"

Lin Xingxing was startled upon hearing this. Oh dear, as expected, there's no such thing as a free lunch. They really gave her too much!

Yu Zhe poked Yu Che's forehead with his finger: "You... you caused so much trouble for people this morning. They were fiddling with this and that, and they even kept the shop closed for so long. Two thousand a bill... isn't that too little? Three thousand a bill might be more appropriate?"

"That's true... Our company's publicity and photography team probably charges around three or four thousand yuan per image for promotional work. They also handle post-production and publicity, so it's hard to say."

"!"

Is that what it means?

Lin Xingxing was shocked. What's wrong with you young masters and ladies? Aren't your values ​​and common sense quite different from normal people?!

"It's not low at all! Two thousand is really not low! Waaah... I already feel uneasy taking two thousand... Actually, Miss Su, it's a pleasure for me to take your photos, I should be the one paying you! I already feel bad enough taking your money... Please don't raise the price again!"

"..."

This is unbelievable; it's true that people are afraid to make money even when they have it.

With that said, the topic has been settled.

However, Yu Che's sudden frown made Lin Xingxing's heart jump into her throat again.

What... suddenly they've found out I don't like the photos and they want to sell my shop?!

No, this has nothing to do with her.

Yu Che checked them again, scrolling through the photos from beginning to end.

Just as I expected...

Zixiao leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing... just... take a look."

"I see... pfft, look at the older brother in this picture, isn't he a little distracted? And what about Xiao Li here..."

"Tsk, you just can't see the point, can you? Pay attention to the group photo part."

That idiot, he can never grasp the important point.

Zixiao hasn't noticed yet, but Yuche noticed it immediately.

In these group photos, each of them has at least one photo with their brother.

Only one person never appeared in the photo.

That's Qin Ruoke.

Yu Che's gaze drifted slowly towards Qin Ruoke, who was sitting at the very edge of the sofa, trying to shrink further in.

Hey...

You introverted person, if you don't work harder, you'll regret it later.

Yu Che noticed this, and Yu Zhe, who had been watching the camera the whole time, naturally noticed it as well.

Without Yu Che reminding him, Yu Zhe had already walked towards Qin Ruoke.

He then extended his left hand towards her, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Little Ruoke, want to take a picture?"

"I...I don't take photos...I'm not photogenic..."

"How will you know you're not photogenic if you don't try it?"

"When taking student photos, people are...very gloomy."

"..."

You can't compare student photos to artistic photography! The difference is huge. How many student photos do you actually think are decent?

Yu Zhe wasn't in a hurry. Seeing that everyone behind him was still discussing the photos, he simply sat down next to Qin Ruoke, pulling down the hem of his cheongsam. (Monthly membership group: 694936135)

Yu Zhe's captivating appearance up close was so striking that even Qin Ruoke was taken aback.

Yu Zhe stroked his chin and analyzed.

"Confidence is something that isn't formed overnight, but if you always back down, you'll end up like before. Didn't you say you wanted to look forward with me?"

"That's...that's for sure." Qin Ruoke clenched her fists, her pink hair covering half of her eyes as she looked down. "It's not that I don't want to take pictures...it's just that I really want to run away as soon as I see a camera."

"What if I hold your hand later?"

"Then maybe... you don't want to run anymore?"

"That settles it!"

"Eh..."

Qin Ruoke had no idea how she had managed to give such a fluent answer.

The reason for this might be that Yu Zhe had already taken her hand before speaking, without informing her first.

This

A feeling, a voice in Qin Ruoke's heart.

That is... many things that were impossible before can now be done.

"Little Ruoke? How are you feeling now?"

"Hmm...maybe we can film it now."

"That's right! If you're nervous, just look at me. I'm dressed in women's clothing, so what's so difficult about it?"

"Women's clothes... Oh right, Yuzhe, I haven't had a chance to say it yet, but your women's clothes... are very pretty, aren't they? Really, I'm not saying the women's clothes are pretty, I'm saying you're pretty."

"Little Ruoke?! That's completely unnecessary!!"

59. Be more assertive! (3,000 words)

This last photo with Xiao Ruoke marks the final wave of the torment Yu Zhe suffered today.

At everyone's strong suggestion, he changed into a pure white long tulle dress.

Yu Zhe's size 37 feet were lightly treading on a pair of "crystal shoes" that matched her puffy skirt.

Of course... they're not real glass slippers, they're just intentionally made to look like that, so the shoes look shiny.

The most eye-catching thing was the bronze crown on Yu Zhe's head, which at first glance looked like a golden crown!

Looking at Yu Zhe, who was fidgeting and waiting to take photos, not far away, Xiao Meng felt her eyes well up with tears of emotion.

"Princess...this is Her Highness the Princess, slurp..."

Waaah, do you remember? Xiaomeng's dream was that one day, a prince on a white horse would ride a white horse to take her to the palace of happiness and pamper her like his princess.

But Xiaomeng never imagined how wonderful it would be if her dream prince looked like a princess!

One wish, infinite fulfillment.

From a professional perspective, Lin Xingxing also gave high praise to this outfit.

It seems like it's always received high praise... After all, every outfit here looks amazing on a silver-haired angel.

Some people are born "perfect clothes hangers," and it's true.

only...

Lin Xingxing looked at the pink-haired girl who was about to take a photo with the silver-haired angel.

"Hmm...Miss? I'm not saying your outfit is bad...but taking a photo like this doesn't quite balance the composition. I think you might...choose a new outfit?"

Qin Ruoke was about to take a step forward when she was reminded and then stopped.

She felt a little conflicted: "You mean... I'm not dressed fancy enough, right?"

“Yes, the clothes Miss Su wore just now were all quite casual and suitable for taking photos with everyone. But now, this princess tutu... if I had to say, it's a bit like cosplay. To balance the picture, you'd better change into something that matches.”

"Is it... okay if we don't exchange it?"

"Of course you can, but the photos might not be very good, I mean compared to other people's."

Qin Ruoke turned her head to look at the clothes rack over there, her expression quite conflicted.

She was already quite prominent in front of the camera, and now asking her to change into some fancy clothes... for a girl who used to be poor, this is quite a challenge.

But... I don't want to appear dim and out of place next to Yu Zhe, and I don't want to feel out of place like before...

Yu Zhe was adjusting his posture in front of the curtain when he noticed that the two people in the audience were talking but hadn't come to take pictures yet, so he went to ask them.

"what happened?"

"It seems... my clothes don't quite match. Otherwise... Yu Zhe, if it really doesn't work, let's not take a group photo here... When we get home, can I take a group photo with the sea as the background using my phone? The quality of a phone and a camera these days should be about the same, right? That way we can save two thousand yuan... which can buy a lot of new clothes."

When Qin Ruoke talks a lot at once, it means she is quite nervous and at a loss about the current situation.

Right now, she doesn't know whether she should change her clothes, and besides, she really feels that the photos she took aren't worth two thousand yuan.
