Chapter 10: There's something fishy about the photo studio

Photo studio? Qi Xu couldn't believe that this suggestion came out of Jiang Hongyi's mouth so fluently.

She turned her eyes away from the marriage certificate and looked up at him, "Uh, can I not go?"

Although Qi Xu knew that she was now much lighter and her body was tighter overall, this was not her best-looking stage yet, and she didn't want to leave a photo that she was not satisfied with.

The hesitation in Qi Xu's eyes betrayed him, and Jiang Hongyi saw through it. "You look pretty now. I want to take a picture to record this special day."

This was the first time Jiang Hongyi gave her such a long explanation and even praised her!

This person's body hasn't been replaced like hers, right?

Qi Xu looked at Jiang Hongyi carefully from head to toe. That's right, the aura surrounding this man was still as keep-away as usual.

Jiang Hongyi didn't wait for her to continue to be suspicious and directly grabbed her wrist.

No, to be precise, he was padding his arm with the sleeve and holding the wrist wrapped in the sleeve, without touching Qi Xu's skin at all.

He dragged Qi Xu all the way to a photo studio closest to the government.

As soon as the two stepped into the photo studio, Qi Xu shuddered all over, feeling that the place was filled with yin energy.

Qi Xu thought the layout of the photo studio was quite normal, with nothing special about it, but the wisps of evil energy floating above the room could not be ignored by her.

"Welcome, do you two want to take wedding photos?"

At this time, a man with a smiling face and feminine appearance came out of the compartment and greeted them both.

Qi Xu saw at a glance that all the negative energy above the room was rushing towards the man's body.

Just when the Yin energy was about to approach the man, it was inexplicably bounced away by some invisible airflow.

But the Yin Energy showed no sign of retreating. It circled upwards from the man's ankles to his head within a safe distance.

"Wedding photos."

Jiang Hongyi answered concisely, interrupting the man's gaze of 'admiring' Qi Xu.

Qi Xu realized belatedly that the man was looking at him as if he were a work of art and couldn't let go of it.

She still felt something was wrong, so she looked around and was surprised to find that all the photos on the wall were of women, and not a single one was of a couple.

Moreover, each person's photo has different actions and different backgrounds.

Qi Xu could even see the emotions in each woman's eyes from the photos, from joy at the beginning to infatuation, and finally to despair and even emptiness in the eyes.

"Wedding photos? Sure. I have whatever color background you want."

The man hung the camera in his hand around his neck, turned on the two-way lighting in the shooting area, walked to the background cloth roll, and pulled out one background cloth after another for them to choose.

After Qi Xu and Jiang Hongyi had chosen the background cloth, the man invited them to the makeup mirror.

"Is this your first time taking photos as a couple? You should put on some makeup and look more refined. Sorry, my wife is not here today, so I have to let you clean up by yourself."

The man explained with a smile, but Qi Xu felt a creepy feeling. She always felt that the way the man stared at her was terrifying.

However, this further confirmed Qi Xu's guess that there was definitely something fishy about this photo studio.

Jiang Hongyi did not let her stay alone in the makeup area. Instead, he stayed there for a minute and then came over and stood behind her.

Qi Xu did not stop putting on makeup because of her doubts, but while putting on makeup, she kept an eye on the man's movements in the mirror.

The man looked in her direction, then moved behind a high pillar next to the curtains, his back blocking the movement of his hands.

In just a moment, the man moved away again.

Qi Xu noticed with his sharp eyes that there was an incense burner on the high pillar, with wisps of smoke floating from it.

"What are you burning incense for?"

Not only Qi Xu noticed this abnormality, but Jiang Hongyi also noticed it, and there was a hint of coldness in his words.

This made the man stop stroking, and he looked up instantly, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes, "Oh, customer, you don't know, my wife always says that my shop is deserted, so I have to light some incense every day to enhance the atmosphere for taking photos."

This lame excuse almost made Qi Xu laugh out loud. She pretended that she hadn't noticed anything. After drawing her eyebrows and applying powder, she picked out a lighter-colored lip balm and applied it. She instantly became radiant.

She untied her ponytail, combed it, separated the two strands of hair, and deftly braided them into two pigtails, making her face, which was already full of collagen, even more beautiful.

After tidying herself up, she calmly picked up the comb to fix Jiang Hongyi's hair.

"I can do it myself."

When her hand was about to touch his hair, Jiang Hongyi took the comb, walked away and combed his hair alone in front of the mirror.

Qi Xu was curious and wanted to know what the man in the photo studio was planning next, so he simply pretended not to notice anything unusual. After the two of them finished packing, he went to sit in the photo area and waited for the man to take pictures.

They had been sitting down for just a few minutes when the man kept correcting their posture and had no intention of taking pictures.

During this struggle, Qi Xu felt a little dazed, his heart tightened, and he pretended to adjust the back of his clothes with one hand, and drew a Qingxin Jue in the air to force himself to stay awake.

Another two minutes passed before the man finally decided on their pose for the photo and took several photos in succession.

"Smile. Hey, come a little closer, shoulders touching. Yes, tilt your heads a little towards the middle. Okay."

"Men can put their arms around women's waists, okay."

Instructions were given one after another, and Qi and Xu posed in several positions according to the man's requirements, while the camera kept clicking.

Just when Qi Xu was wondering why the filming had not ended for so long, she felt Jiang Hongyi's head gradually approaching her, until his head rested heavily on her shoulder, and she knew it was time.

In just a blink of an eye, she acted out the scene of herself being a little confused, dizzy and finally fainting.

The moment her body fell back on the chair, she sincerely felt that her acting skills would definitely win an Oscar in the 21st century.

Since you want to know the secrets of this photo studio, you have to cooperate.

"Hehe, sorry, I hate seeing newlyweds. Although the girl is a bit chubby, she's very pretty, so she's perfect for being my model."

"What's the use of you, a stinky man!"

As the man spoke, he walked towards Qi Xu step by step, his words full of greed.

Qi Xu felt something was wrong, and while the man turned around to get the incense burner, he quickly drew the Qingxin Jue with his hand and slapped Jiang Hongyi in mid-air.

The man placed the incense burner on the wooden table next to Jiang Hongyi, and wisps of tobacco drifted into his nostrils.

After everything was arranged, the man rubbed his hands, looked at Qi Xu again, admired her for a moment, picked her up by the waist in a princess hug, turned around and walked into the inner compartment.
