Chapter 36: Worse than being ignored. Can't I change someone? ...
After hearing Fu Haoyao's words outside the door, the air in the studio suddenly became extremely quiet.
Su Xingshu, who had just finished speaking shamelessly, was stunned. He looked at the girl who followed Fu Haoyao in, and his expression went blank for a moment.
His originally sloppy standing posture straightened up.
Can't steal their limelight? Are you really that fragile to let her go?
At this moment, Su Xingshu just wanted to go back a few minutes and slap his ignorant self.
Why on earth did he have to be so mean and flatter others for Bai Yan? Xu Qiuying was Bai Yan's cousin, not his own. Why would he take the initiative to do this?
For the first time in his life, Su Xingshu hated his bad habit of always trying to save face.
However, he had spoken out of turn before, so even if he didn't know the model was Fu Liangxia, she overheard him and he admitted it.
But Cheng Xingzhou, this guy definitely has no good intentions.
He was wondering why someone who had never been involved in the matter suddenly said something like that. It turned out that he had known for a long time that the person filming with them was Fu Liangxia, and was setting a trap for him.
Su Xingshu glanced at Cheng Xingzhou with a deep look, but saw that the man was pretending to play chess again. It seemed that his attention was all on the chessboard and he was completely unaware of what was happening around him.
Let him just pretend.
"I heard that the filming was about to start, so I came here." Fu Liangxia's face showed no expression, as if she didn't hear Su Xingshu's words at all.
A very respectable person.
Su Xingshu felt even more uncomfortable. He said, "I didn't hear it was you."
It is to explain one's previous behavior.
Fu Haoyao stood at the door, looking at this and that, not understanding what they were talking about, and a wise expression slowly appeared on his face.
Fu Liangxia actually smiled, her eyes slightly curved, and she spoke slowly and softly, "Then Young Master Su is going to tell you in person that I'm not pretty enough and won't steal your limelight?"
She dragged out the last few words, and with each word, the tips of Su Xingshu's ears turned a little redder.
After she finished speaking, the studio fell into an even more dead silence.
The embarrassment spread silently.
"Mr. Su didn't mean it. He was just joking with me. Please don't mind it, classmate." Xu Qiuying had been secretly looking at Fu Liangxia since she entered the room. She saw that her features were crisp and her eyebrows and eyes were coated with sunlight, making her beauty almost vague.
Looking at Su Xingshu and her cousin, whose attention had been completely drawn to her since she entered the room, even Cheng Xingzhou, who had never glanced at her before, raised his eyes. Xu Qiuying couldn't help but grit her teeth, trying to grab the focus from them.
However, no one paid any attention to her.
Only Fu Liangxia glanced at her when he heard the voice, his brows softening, but the words he said seemed more difficult to deal with than her gossipy chatter.
She said, "Well, she is indeed beautiful. No wonder Young Master Su was afraid of stealing their limelight."
Fu Liangxia has never been a good-tempered person. Since these two people made her unhappy, she naturally had to retaliate.
The content of her words may sound okay, but if someone else said it, it might sound like a resentful woman.
However, Fu Liangxia's tone was just right, without any hint of complaint, as if he was simply praising Xu Qiuying.
However, she was standing next to Xu Qiuying, which made the originally innocent girl look ordinary. Combined with her content, it had an ironic effect.
Xu Qiuying knew her own weight and her face turned pale in an instant.
Su Xingshu's expression was equally grim. This wasn't a mockery of Xu Qiuying, it was a stab at himself. Sure enough, he was still being held accountable.
Of course, he really deserved it.
It's all my fault for being so mean. Why did I say that for no reason? I shouldn't have bothered with Xu Qiuying.
At this moment, even someone as eloquent as Su Xingshu was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to save the situation and make Fu Liangxia calm down.
"Puchi." Bai Yan laughed.
The new model he found is really sharp-tongued.
But it is indeed sharp enough.
At this thought, he suddenly remembered the bracelet he had seen on her hand yesterday. Later, upon verification, it turned out not to be a replica, but a custom piece made two years ago by a designer for an ultra-high-net-worth client. It had recently been sold to an anonymous buyer, presumably Fu Liangxia.
After checking it out, Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a fake, it would be fine.
However, seeing Fu Liangxia's performance now, he hesitated. Shouldn't he have behaved too obviously in front of her yesterday?
The atmosphere was so awkward that it was not until Fu Haoyao, who finally came in and figured out what was going on, spoke up and broke the silence.
He was a head taller than Fu Liangxia, and standing behind her, his shadow almost wrapped her up.
Looking at Xu Qiuying and then at Su Xingshu, Fu Haoyao's tone was puzzled, and it sounded like he was simply asking a question that puzzled him: "Xiao Shu, are your eyes bad?"
If your eyes weren't damaged, how could you think Fu Liangxia wasn't pretty? And you even said she wouldn't steal their limelight.
Nonsense, they were standing here and he could clearly only see her at first sight.
It's definitely eyesight problems.
As for what Fu Liangxia said, he didn't understand. It might just be a simple commercial compliment. Although Fu Haoyao disagreed with her statement that Xu Qiuying was prettier, she was a girl after all, so it was not appropriate to comment on her appearance.
But Su Xingshu deserves to be scolded.
Fu Liangxia didn't expect Fu Haoyao to speak to her. She was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the boy behind her. The other party also looked down at her.
Their eyes met and they were both stunned.
Just then, a voice interrupted their gaze.
Su Xingshu frowned and glanced at Fu Haoyao, not understanding why he had gotten involved. However, since he was the one saying the nonsense, he still lowered his head and said obediently, "Yes, my eyes are damaged."
When these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Of course, it wasn't that exaggerated. Others were just surprised that Young Master Su actually took the initiative to say that he was blind, but Xu Qiuying was really furious.
As a vicious female supporting character with many roles in the original book, just like several original male protagonists who each have their own shortcomings, she also has the common problems of vicious female supporting characters, such as conceited self-confidence and murderous jealousy.
Having been humiliated by Su Xingshu in public, Xu Qiuying didn't dare to do anything to him. She firmly believed that it was Fu Liangxia, the vixen, who seduced her and it had absolutely nothing to do with Young Master Su. Young Master Su was just bewitched by her!
With tears welling up in her eyes, Xu Qiuying glared at Fu Liangxia angrily, then turned around and ran out sobbing.
Fu Liangxia: "You're going too far, Master Su. It's fine if you're just criticizing me, but why are you criticizing others?"
She said it calmly, but there was no ripple in her heart.
Su Xingshu stared at her motionlessly, thinking that he must not let Fu Liangxia get hold of any evidence against him in the future. Just from what he had just said, it felt like Fu Liangxia could bring it up at any time and toss it around for a long time.
However, he didn't know whether he was numb or abnormal, but in the girl's cold eyes, Su Xingshu gradually felt a little excited in his heart.
What he said was indeed excessive, but if she didn't care about him, she wouldn't have brought it up again and again. After all, what did it have to do with her what an insignificant person said?
The fact that she could whip his corpse repeatedly showed that she still cared about him.
As he thought about it, the corners of Su Xingshu's mouth couldn't help but rise silently.
Bai Yan was close enough to catch this slight expression: "..."
Puzzled, but respectful.
Regardless of what his childhood friend was laughing at, Bai Yan waved his hand at Fu Liangxia: "Don't worry, she's just like that. Now that everyone is here, let's get filming."
Su Xingshu maintained a good attitude until the filming began.
Just like Fu Liangxia had suggested earlier, Bai Yan first had each person take a few photos in front of the design wall. This part went smoothly. Because no matter if the model knew how to take a photo, with a face that looked good from every angle, it was impossible to take a bad photo.
But I was troubled by the choice between double and triple photos.
Since their background is St. Lander College, which has a strong youthful atmosphere, the promotional photos naturally have to be cheerful and beautiful.
But Bai Yan looked at them carefully and felt that Su Xingshu, Fu Haoyao and Fu Liangxia looked good together. The two boys were flamboyant, while the girl in the middle was elegant and gentle. She was eye-catching just by standing there.
But these three people just had an unpleasant argument.
If anyone else were here, they would probably choose not to have these three people filmed together. However, Bai Yan was not like that. He not only wanted the best effect, but also liked to watch the excitement.
So, he reached out and wanted to pat Fu Liangxia's shoulder.
However, as soon as Bai Yan touched the surface with his fingers, three powerful gazes were cast at him from all around, staring at him so hard that he dared not look down and then silently retracted his gaze.
Bai Yan: “…”
No, he just patted his shoulder. What do you mean by that look as if you wanted to chop off his hand?
And Cheng Xingzhou, what are you meddling in again? Why are you also involved... ?
Fu Liangxia noticed Bai Yan's actions and raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
Bai Yan seemed to be thinking about the composition and pointed to a place in front of the wall: "Stand here."
Fu Liangxia agreed obediently and walked over to stand still.
Then, Bai Yan directed Su Xingshu to sit next to her and even demonstrated how to stand. The arm closest to her passed over her shoulder and rested lightly on a shelf behind her.
Watching Bai Yan demonstrate the movements, Su Xingshu's face flushed slightly, and he felt a little uneasy. It seemed like they were being too intimate. He had just provoked Fu Liangxia, would she agree?
Thinking of this, he slowly walked to the girl's side. When he was secretly wondering whether he should ask her first, the other party seemed to sense something and looked over at him sideways.
At such a great distance, the two looked at each other unexpectedly.
Fu Liangxia was smiling slightly, but her eyes were cold. She looked at him without saying a word.
Su Xingshu's heart trembled as he was stared at by the dark eyes. His heart beat faster and faster. He felt as if one of his arms weighed a thousand pounds, and just lifting it was very difficult.
I hated myself for having my usual cleverness fall apart in front of her.
However, before he could raise his hand, the corners of the girl's lips curled up again. She turned to look at Bai Yan and said, "Can't you change someone?"
"I'm afraid I'm too much of a background figure and not worthy of our Master Su."
