Chapter 184 Annoying Flies
Nakamura, the photographer who shot the new season's ready-to-wear for ASOBI, has been in the industry for more than 20 years. He has been active in fashion circles in various countries and has shot pictorials for many brands. Compared to Bai Shengyun, who often shoots for magazines, he focuses more on shooting fashion lookbooks.
On the second day in Tokyo, Luo Qinglin got up early, sent a message to Jiang Yanyu, and set off with Qin Xiaoxi to work and study.
Jiang Yanyu contacted Nakamura in advance, saying that his wife wanted to study with him and hoped that he could take good care of her. Fortunately, Nakamura could communicate in English, so Luo Qinglin didn't have to embarrass himself by speaking his poor Japanese.
Bai Shengyun originally planned to drive them to work, but he ended up sleeping until noon and missed the opportunity to pick them up.
Luo Qinglin, along with two assistants, secretly followed Qin Xiaoxi on the tram to the studio for filming.
Early in the morning, the tram was crowded, but Luo Qinglin was surprised. After work, he rarely took the bus to work, let alone the subway. He often flew everywhere, and went to the nearest hotel to rest after filming.
There were crowds of people in front of him. Luo Qinglin stood on tiptoe and secretly observed the tops of the heads of the office workers.
Bald, Mediterranean, thick short hair, yellow hair with a headband, colorful visual style hair. Luo Qinglin was immersed in his own world, wanting to take a picture of these hairs, imagining that these hairs were something else, seaweed or jellyfish tentacles.
"We're here, get off the bus quickly." Qin Xiaoxi pushed Luo Qinglin off the bus against the crowded crowd getting on the bus.
After getting off the tram, the station was full of people. Qin Xiaoxi grabbed Luo Qinglin by the collar and barely dragged him out.
"call......"
Qin Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief as she walked through the crowds. “If you get lost, Brother Jiang will kill me first and then me.”
"No, he can find me even if I get lost," Luo Qinglin laughed and asked, "Do you take the tram every morning to go to the filming?"
Qin Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows, "You're not going to ask Brother Jiang to prepare a car to pick me up again, are you? Changing to a five-star hotel this time is already exaggerated, don't spend so much money on me again."
Luo Qinglin curled his lips, didn't mention it anymore, and followed Qin Xiaoxi out of the station.
"Brother Luo! My phone is missing!"
As they walked, Gu Nan'an suddenly shouted and frantically searched his pockets, but found nothing.
"What should we do?" Gu Nanan asked with a sad face.
This kid is so reckless. Luo Qinglin sighed, "Bai Shengyun will be here soon. I asked him to help bring a new phone. You follow me closely and don't get lost."
Gu Nanan had a sad face, thinking that it was all over and he could not complete the task assigned to him by Jiang Yanyu.
The four of them walked close together, following the crowd through the traffic lights, and walked for another ten minutes before arriving at the studio.
Several other foreign models had arrived earlier and were putting on makeup. Nakamura was debugging equipment in the studio. When he saw Luo Qinglin coming, he waved to him and said hello.
"Mr. Luo, welcome." Nakamura's accent was not serious and was very fluent.
"Hello, Mr. Nakamura." Luo Qinglin hurried forward and stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Nakamura.
Nakamura himself has a head full of white hair, but it is not the natural white hair of aging, but hair that is deliberately dyed white. He wears black-framed glasses and loose clothes, looking very casual, with a contradictory sense of maturity and innocence.
Nakamura did not shake hands with Luo Qinglin, but instead clenched his fist and gently tapped his palm as a greeting.
“Don’t be so reserved,” Nakamura laughed, his voice full of playfulness that didn’t suit his age. “After the filming starts, if you have any questions, you can ask me directly.”
"Okay, thank you."
Nakamura shoots very quickly, unlike Bai Shengyun who is slow and works out the action and composition bit by bit. Instead, he takes some random photos first and then picks out the ones he likes. If there are any unsatisfactory parts, he will change them according to the style of the selected picture.
Luo Qinglin watched from the side and thought that this method was indeed good, so he secretly wrote it down in his mind.
Nakamura took pictures for a while, and when it was Qin Xiaoxi's turn, he waved to Luo Qinglin, "Mr. Luo, you take pictures for her, do you want to give it a try?"
Luo Qinglin took over the equipment and learned to shoot in Nakamura's way. He was a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but after getting used to it for a while he was able to increase his speed by himself.
For most of the day, in addition to Qin Xiaoxi, Luo Qinglin also tried to take pictures of other models. He became more proficient and adapted to the rhythm of shooting lookbooks.
"Mr. Luo, you learn very quickly!" Nakamura's eyes lit up, and he suddenly held Luo Qinglin's hand. "How long do you plan to stay in Tokyo? I want to communicate with you for a while longer."
"I......"
"Let him go! Don't steal someone else's wife!"
When Luo Qinglin heard Bai Shengyun's energetic voice, he felt tired and thought that Bai Shengyun was cuter when he was depressed.
Luo Qinglin smiled awkwardly at Nakamura, who belatedly let go of his hand and hurriedly explained that he had no other intentions and just wanted to communicate with him about filming.
"It's okay," Luo Qinglin replied, "I will stay here for a week and then return home."
"That's good," Nakamura exhaled exaggeratedly and patted his chest, "I want to see you more often in the next week."
"You are not allowed to see her. She is married and her wife is someone else's!" Bai Shengyun walked over loudly and tried to pull Luo Qinglin away.
Luo Qinglin couldn't stand it anymore, he looked around, wanting to ask Qin Xiaoxi to deal with this person, but Qin Xiaoxi had already hidden behind the display screen, pretending not to know Bai Shengyun, half covering her face to communicate with other models and discuss the film.
Receiving Luo Qinglin's gaze, Qin Xiaoxi quickly shook her head and winked at him, asking him to personally punish Bai Shengyun.
Luo Qinglin smiled apologetically at Nakamura again, selected an apology from the few Japanese words in his mind, and then pulled Bai Shengyun to the bathroom.
"What's wrong with you? You said you wanted to change yesterday, but today you turned into a naughty boy again?" Luo Qinglin said in Chinese in a low voice.
Bai Shengyun was not convinced, puffed up her cheeks, and complained: "You just came to Tokyo, and you are already fickle and hooking up with others. What will Jiang Yanyu do if you abandon your husband and children like this?"
Abandoning husband and children?
Luo Qinglin frowned, "What are you talking about? Jiang Yanyu contacted Nakamura and asked me to come and study with him. What are you thinking about?"
"Then you can't let him touch your hand!" Bai Shengyun said stubbornly.
Luo Qinglin glared at him, saying sarcastically:
"I didn't just touch Nakamura's hand. I also touched the model's shoulders and knees. I adjusted my movements on each model. Why don't you just tell Jiang Yanyu that I was having an affair in Tokyo with women everywhere?"
Hearing this, his arrogance suddenly disappeared. Bai Shengyun knew he was in the wrong, his eyes rolled around, he coughed awkwardly a few times, and didn't know what to say.
"Also, this is Xiaoxi's workplace. If you rush out so arrogantly and let others know that you are her boyfriend, how will those models and designers look at her?" Luo Qinglin snorted coldly, as if educating an ignorant child.
Bai Shengyun widened his eyes in shock, as if he had never thought about such a thing before. Only after being taught a lesson by Luo Qinglin did he realize that his behavior would bring trouble to Qin Xiaoxi.
"I-I…I'm sorry."
Bai Shengyun lowered his head and apologized in a low voice. He had a sad face, the corners of his mouth turned down, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he was about to start crying again.
Luo Qinglin stood there in a daze. Before he could say anything, Bai Shengyun's tears overflowed from her eyes, fell down and dripped onto the sink.
"Why... are you crying?" Luo Qinglin was at a loss. He quickly pulled out a piece of paper from the wall and handed it to Bai Shengyun, asking him to wipe his tears.
Bai Shengyun took paper to wipe her tears, but they didn't dry up. The tears kept falling, and she cried so pitifully that people felt sorry for her.
Luo Qinglin didn't dare to move, nor did he dare to continue educating him. He stood stiffly there, waiting awkwardly for Bai Shengyun to finish crying.
From time to time, other people came into the bathroom, watched Bai Shengyun cry, and their eyes drifted to Luo Qinglin, looking at him as if he were a scumbag.
Luo Qinglin smiled awkwardly and whispered sorry in Japanese.
"How long are you going to cry?" After waiting for a long time, Luo Qinglin became anxious and asked patiently, "What is there to cry about?"
Hearing this, Bai Shengyun cried even harder, tears falling one after another, "I'm so noisy and so stupid, she must break up with me, wuwuwuwu!"
Standing and crying alone was not enough, Bai Shengyun softened her body, wiped away her tears, and buried her head in Luo Qinglin's shoulder, sobbing softly without caring whether others agreed or not.
You also know that you are bluffing? !
Luo Qinglin thought Bai Shengyun didn't know his own problem, but it turned out that he knew it but didn't want to change.
Luo Qinglin shook his head, patted Bai Shengyun on the back, and comforted her: "Xiaoxi will not break up with you. You should change this bad habit in the future and stop disturbing her work, isn't that enough?"
"Really?" Bai Shengyun cried and asked helplessly, "How should I change? Should I just talk less?"
Luo Qinglin suspected that Bai Qiulu and the Bai family adopted a laissez-faire approach to education, which was why they raised a stupid beauty like Bai Shengyun who could do nothing but take pictures.
"You should treat Xiaoxi as an ordinary person who needs to work. We need to work to survive. Before you do anything, think about whether doing so will cause her trouble or cause her to lose her job." Luo Qinglin said softly.
Not sure if Bai Shengyun had listened to him. He was silent for a moment, then replied with red eyes: "What if I don't know if I can do it? Can I ask you first?"
Bai Shengyun raised her head with sparkling eyes, looking at Luo Qinglin pitifully, like a pretty aggrieved puppy.
No wonder Qin Xiaoxi couldn't bear to refuse.
No wonder Jiang Yanyu went to London but did not cut off contact with Bai Shengyun.
Who can stand being bombarded with such looks? !
Luo Qinglin sighed and reluctantly agreed: "Okay, okay, okay, anyway, don't cry anymore. After you go out later, if you still want Qin Xiaoxi to work hard, go and apologize to Nakamura."
"I know." Bai Shengyun said aggrievedly.
After washing their faces with cold water and adjusting their mental states, the two walked out of the bathroom.
The work was just halfway done, the model changed into a new outfit and Nakamura was taking pictures quickly.
Luo Qinglin stood by with Bai Shengyun and waited until Nakamura finished taking pictures of the model. Then he took Bai Shengyun forward to apologize.
Nakamura put down the equipment and saw Bai Shengyun's red eyes from crying. He actually smiled and joked, "You really cried! Miss Qin just told me that her boyfriend loves crying, but I didn't believe it. It turns out that you really love crying!"
Boy friend?
Boy friend? !
Bai Shengyun stood there in a daze, unable to utter a word. It was only when Luo Qinglin nudged him with his elbow that he came to his senses.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now." Bai Shengyun's eyes were red and he apologized in a low voice in poor Japanese.
Luo Qinglin had searched for this sentence in Japanese in the bathroom, and asked Bai Shengyun to memorize the pronunciation and practice it several times before letting him out.
But when Bai Shengyun really wanted to apologize, he spoke in a mess, with disordered pronunciation and unclear articulation, and almost said something else.
Nakamura was amused by the Japanese words, and laughed quietly with the other models present, and said in English: "It's okay, Mr. Bai is very cute, I'm not angry."
Hearing the word "cutie", Bai Shengyun felt even more embarrassed and wanted to hide behind Luo Qinglin.
"Go sit over there and have a rest," Luo Qinglin pulled him away and pointed to a chair in the corner, "Stay quietly and play with your phone. Don't disturb everyone's work."
Bai Shengyun turned around aggrievedly, walked to the corner and sat down obediently, and the filming could continue.
Although Nakamura has a casual personality, he is not casual about his work. He continued filming until the evening and did not even have time to eat lunch. He only ended the filming after completing today's tasks.
Before the filming was finished, Sakimo finally showed up to check the finished film.
As Qin Xiaoxi said, Sakimo is a sweet girl with a gothic style. She looks like a dark and delicate doll, but the designs she makes are very mature, neutral and high-end suits.
Seeing Luo Qinglin in the studio, Saki Tao suddenly smiled excitedly and ran over to shout in Chinese: "Sister-in-law!"
Luo Qinglin was about to say hello, but was startled into silence by the word "sister-in-law".
Has the influence of the CP fan group already infiltrated overseas?
Seeing Luo Qinglin stunned, Saki Tao felt a little rude, took a step back, and apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help but get excited when I saw you."
"Congratulations on your wedding," Sakimo said with a smile, trying not to get too excited. "I wish you and brother will love each other forever."
"Thanks."
Meeting real-life CP fans for the first time, Luo Qinglin was at a loss and a little embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law, can I take a picture with you?" Sakimo asked.
In one sentence, "sister-in-law" was used in fluent Chinese, while the following sentence was used in English with a heavy accent.
"good."
Luo Qinglin bent down, stood on the same level as Saki Tao, and smiled at the camera.
Sakimo took several photos in a row, then checked them with her phone with satisfaction and asked, "Can I post them on social media?"
"Okay, that's okay."
Saki Tao sent the photo and started chatting with Luo Qinglin.
Luo Qinglin wanted to ask about Qin Xiaoxi's performance and whether the brand was satisfied with her, while Saki Tao wanted to ask about Jiang Yanyu and Luo Qinglin. The two of them asked each other questions and answered each other, and they actually continued the conversation without any dull moments.
When everyone had finished work, Sakimo suggested going to the pub for a drink, hoping that everyone would go, and she also invited Luo Qinglin and Bai Shengyun.
The group went to the pub where they usually gathered and booked a private room to drink.
Nakamura had just poured a glass of plum wine and was about to hand it to Luo Qinglin when Sakimo intercepted him.
"Mr. Luo can't drink alcohol or kiwi juice," Saki said, "Pour him a glass of warm water."
Luo Qinglin's eyes widened slightly, very surprised. Sakitao chuckled twice and explained proudly: "My brother said during the interview in Paris that you can't drink alcohol, and you are allergic to kiwis."
It turns out that CP fans really remember every interview? !
He couldn't remember anything Jiang Yanyu said during the interview!
"Thank you, I can actually drink a little, it's okay," Luo Qinglin said with a smile.
Although the photographer is casual and the designer is cute, I can't get rid of the feeling of socializing when I go out for drinks after work.
After a party, both sides seemed to have a language disorder. They joked in each other's language and spoke poor foreign languages. When no one understood them, they explained in English.
Luo Qinglin didn't drink a drop of alcohol, but he seemed to be intoxicated by the air. When he went out, his face was red, his head was dizzy, and his body was tired.
Bai Shengyun seemed to be stimulated. He didn't say a word in the pub. He drank heavily and got drunk. When he went out, he acted like a spoiled child and asked Qin Xiaoxi to hug him.
Sakimo and other models teased Qin Xiaoxi, saying that her boyfriend was really cute, like a little girl. Qin Xiaoxi was so embarrassed that her scalp was numb, and she was busy lying that he was not like this usually.
Bai Shengyun came to pick them up after get off work, but ended up being so drunk that he couldn't stand.
Gu Nanan and Qi Lin went back to the hotel first. Luo Qinglin had no choice but to let this drunkard squeeze into the tram, so he could only call a taxi on the app in the middle of the night and wait for the driver to come.
It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and it was time for a video call with Jiang Yanyu. Luo Qinglin was still standing on the street, wandering around with a drunk, and he could only worry in his heart.
Ding ding ding!
The cell phone rang on time, and Luo Qinglin could only quickly answer the video and point the camera at himself, not letting Bai Shengyun into the frame.
The screen was shaking. Jiang Yanyu had no expression on his face. He asked with his eyes half closed: "Luo Qinglin, is the wine good?"
"I...I didn't drink!" Luo Qinglin explained hastily, "I just ate some skewers."
"Really?" Jiang Yanyu snorted coldly, "Then why didn't you report in advance when you were partying outside in the middle of the night?"
"I......"
"Ah! I'm a loser! What should I do, wuwuwu!"
Before Luo Qinglin could finish his words, Bai Shengyun suddenly attacked and started shouting at the traffic light on the street. Not only did the noise hurt Luo Qinglin's ears, it also attracted other people to look over.
After Bai Shengyun finished shouting in Chinese, she started yelling in a language that Luo Qinglin couldn't understand, crying as she did so.
Qin Xiaoxi had no choice but to reach out and cover Bai Shengyun’s mouth to stop him from screaming.
The scene was extremely chaotic. Bai Shengyun became even more restless with his mouth covered. He hung on Luo Qinglin, shaking wildly and almost pushed him to the ground.
"Brother," Luo Qinglin managed to steady himself and explained, "Bai Shengyun is drunk. We'll get in the car and go back to the hotel right away."
"Who will take you back to the hotel?" Jiang Yanyu asked with a frown.
"I... stop moving!" Luo Qinglin was irritated by the drunkard and yelled, explaining to Jiang Yanyu, "I called a car on the app, and the driver will be here soon."
Jiang Yanyu frowned even more tightly when he heard this. "It's not safe. Cancel the order. Send me the address and I'll send someone to pick you up."
“No need…” Jiang Yanyu glared, and Luo Qinglin immediately changed his words, “Okay, okay, I’ll send the address right away.”
Fortunately, the driver was still several kilometers away from here. Luo Qinglin successfully canceled the order and waited for the person Jiang Yanyu called to come.
In less than twenty minutes, an eye-catching Cullinan came speeding and stopped in front of the three people.
The car window rolled down, and a strange man wearing sunglasses looked out the window and said in English: "Get in the car, Louis asked me to come."
"Thanks."
Luo Qinglin thanked them stiffly, then he and Qin Xiaoxi dragged Bai Shengyun into the car and squeezed into the back seat.
The door closed, but the car didn't start.
"Lin, come sit in the front." The man said coldly.
"Okay, okay." Luo Qinglin gently pushed Bai Shengyun away, got out of the car and moved to the front seat.
The car started only when Luo Qinglin closed the door.
No one knew each other, and Luo Qinglin, who was sitting in the front seat, was even more embarrassed than Qin Xiaoxi who was sitting in the back seat.
The man drove in silence all the way to the downstairs of the hotel. He waited for the three people to get out of the car, and without saying goodbye, he drove away in a hurry, turning at such a fast speed that he almost drifted.
Bai Shengyun fell asleep halfway through the journey and was now mumbling something in his sleep.
Luo Qinglin sighed, and together with Qin Xiaoxi, he lifted him up and walked towards the elevator.
"Your boyfriend is really troublesome." Luo Qinglin's hands and shoulders hurt. He stretched out his hand with all his strength and pressed the button with difficulty.
Qin Xiaoxi sighed, "I think so too."
The two men looked tired as they slowly dragged the drunk back to the room.
Afraid that Qin Xiaoxi would be upset and not be in a good working state tomorrow, Luo Qinglin worked hard again and asked Qin Xiaoxi to go to bed and rest first. He dragged Bai Shengyun to wash up, helped her to sleep on the sofa, and tucked in the quilt for the "child" before leaving.
When he left the room, Luo Qinglin was exhausted, his hands, legs and shoulders ached, and he walked slowly towards his room.
Tomorrow, he will definitely teach Bai Shengyun a lesson again, teach him a lesson severely, and scold Bai Shengyun until he cries!
Luo Qinglin was angry. He slammed the door open fiercely and walked into the room.
Swish swish......
As Luo Qinglin walked into the room, a strange noise was heard in the room. It sounded like a ghost's claws scratching the mattress, which was very disturbing.
Luo Qinglin walked towards the bed. Because he was in a bad mood, he didn't say anything. He just looked coldly at the figure hidden in the quilt.
The person in the quilt seemed to sense something. He rustled for a while, then hesitated and slowly pulled open the quilt, revealing his face.
Si Moyu lifted the quilt, not knowing why Luo Qinglin had such an expression, and asked cautiously: "Brother Qinglin?"
Luo Qinglin stood there in silence. Si Moyu completely pulled back the quilt, stood up, and moved in front of Luo Qinglin.
"Brother Qinglin~"
Si Moyu was still calling him coquettishly, not noticing anything strange about Luo Qinglin.
When Si Moyu's hand was one centimeter away from touching him, Luo Qinglin took a step back, raised his right fist expressionlessly, and punched Si Moyu in the face.
"If you call me Brother Qinglin again, I will beat you into a cripple." Luo Qinglin's eyes widened like a demon.
