Chapter 155 You and I Sleep Together
I was busy until 9 p.m., when all the photography work at the magazine was finished.
Before Lu Yinzhao left, Wang Zhixia said, "Xiao Lu, take our car in a bit. We'll go back to the hotel and drop you off at school on the way."
Lu Yinzhao asked, "Sister Zhixia, are you still filming?"
"No need, you've taken so many photos today, that's more than enough."
"Oh." Lu Yinzhao didn't say anything more.
Today's shooting experience was actually very good. Lu Yinzhao found that she really enjoyed shooting like this, and after shooting a lot, she even felt a little unsatisfied.
Wang Zhixia found Lu Yinzhao rather cute. This younger brother probably hadn't truly experienced the hardships and numbness of being a corporate slave. They'd already let him go home, yet he still insisted on working overtime?
No wonder some companies like to hire college students to do their work; they're really energetic and obedient.
Having experienced the hardships of society, Wang Zhixia didn't want to exploit her employees anymore. She had a bit of a personality quirk occasionally, but she treated her staff quite well.
The nanny van drove through the streets at night.
As they were about to pass a Ferris wheel attraction, Wang Zhixia's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Wow, so beautiful!"
Light snow was still falling from the sky, and the Ferris wheel was moving slowly, with its colorful lights lighting up in a cycle, each light having a different effect.
Sometimes it lights up like the ticking of a clock, and sometimes it spreads outward from the center like a blooming flower.
After remaining silent the whole way, Lu Yinzhao spoke up again, "Sister Zhixia, are you sure... you don't want to go over there and take some photos? The light show at 'Eye of Star Lake' isn't something you can see every day."
Wang Zhixia gritted her teeth, hesitated for less than a second, and said, "Go!"
Lu Yinzhao had wanted to tell Wang Zhixia that there was a scenic spot here that was perfect for taking night photos, but she wanted him to leave work, so he didn't say anything more.
Lu Yinzhao wasn't a fool. Of course, it was good to be able to get off work, but he also really wanted to see the "Eye of Star Lake" at night. He had only gone during the day before and taken some photos.
I feel that the scenery will have a different effect at night.
The car stopped there, but instead of going inside, they filmed in an area below the Ferris wheel.
There were many people inside, and Wang Zhixia didn't want to be recognized.
"It's a pity I didn't bring any props, otherwise it would have been so nice to carry a little lantern..."
"Take this." Lu Yinzhao pointed to the small orange hand warmer in Wang Zhixia's hand.
"Should I use a hand warmer to take pictures? Wouldn't that look weird?"
"No, this is more realistic, after all, it's really cold today." Lu Yinzhao had already taken her position and said confidently.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Lu Yinzhao let Wang Zhixia do whatever she wanted naturally, or even do nothing at all, just look into the distance.
Lu Yinzhao took a few quick steps toward the camera and snapped several photos.
Sister Zhao urged from the side, "Just take a few pictures, it's time to go, there will be more people here soon."
"It's all set." Lu Yinzhao gave an OK sign.
The group returned to the car, and Wang Zhixia, holding Lu Yinzhao's camera, looked through it, and they were all stunned.
In the scene, warm yellow light spreads out from behind Wang Zhixia, the Ferris wheel weaving into a soft mist of light, and her figure is outlined as a clear but not sharp dark line.
Only the little orange hand warmer emitted a small patch of warm light, like a little sun hidden in a silhouette, revealing the gentleness hidden in the shadows.
Snowflakes falling against the light become translucent, cool white dots.
The entire scene is a blend of warm and cool tones, and she stands in the middle, serving as a soft link connecting these two textures.
"Xiao Lu, I don't even know how to describe it, this backlit shot of yours... is absolutely amazing!"
Besides this backlit shot, the motion blur technique in the following photo also creates a great sense of atmosphere.
The falling snowflakes transformed into fine, cold white lines, resembling elongated ice crystals as they descended from the sky to the ground.
She stood in the middle, gently raising her hand to brush the snow off the little orange hand warmer, her expression extremely tender.
With motion blur, the warm halo of the Ferris wheel is slightly elongated, no longer a regular circle, but with a slightly lazy curve, intertwining with the white snow line in the picture, softening the cool background.
"Beautiful! Beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous! Of all the photos taken today, these are my favorite!"
Hearing Wang Zhixia say "good-looking" repeatedly, Lu Yinzhao smiled with delight.
Perhaps, this is the meaning of his being a photographer.
Record beautiful people and things, and let people admire and appreciate the frozen moments.
...
"Just drop me off at this intersection."
Wang Zhixia is an artist after all, and Lu Yinzhao dared not let her park in crowded places. If paparazzi took pictures of her and made up stories online, it would be terrible.
"Okay, then let's have the opportunity to collaborate again in the future. I wish you all the best in becoming the top photographer you aspire to be!"
Wang Zhixia waved to Lu Yinzhao and said with a smile.
Lu Yinzhao bowed slightly in gratitude and nodded politely, "Okay, Sister Zhixia, goodbye."
As the nanny van drove away, Lu Yinzhao looked at the newly added contact on WeChat and shook her head, thinking to herself, "Another 'sister' has been added to the list."
Fortunately, he has two WeChat accounts; this one is specifically for work-related communication.
When Lu Yinzhao opened his private WeChat account, he discovered that Bian Ji had sent him a message a few hours earlier.
[Brother Aji]: Is filming over?
[Brother Aji]: I finished work early and went back to Xingyuting. If you're filming too late, just come and stay here tonight.
Xingyuting is the name of the residential complex where Bian Ji recently bought a house.
Lu Yinzhao's heart skipped a beat. Was this an implication?
Considering the significant change in his relationship with Bian Ji, Lu Yinzhao felt inexplicably nervous about the invitation.
Are you going?
But I just sent a message this morning saying that I wouldn't go...
Lu Yinzhao hesitated whether to go over; a few hundred meters further and she would reach the school gate.
As he was pondering this, a dark figure holding an umbrella approached him. Lu Yinzhao instinctively tried to avoid it, but as he passed the figure, a hand reached out and grabbed him.
Lu Yinzhao looked up in alarm, "What did you do..."
He had only spoken halfway through his sentence when his eyes met those of the shadowy figure, and Lu Yinzhao immediately changed the subject, "Brother?"
"Didn't you recognize me?" After Bian Ji's voice came out, Lu Yinzhao's body, which had been struggling, quickly relaxed.
"What are you doing here? Dressed like a ghost in the middle of the night, wearing a mask and carrying a black umbrella, are you cosplaying as an assassin? You scared me to death!" Lu Yinzhao scolded.
She immediately hid under Bian Ji's large black umbrella and hugged the man's waist. "I just saw your message, and you suddenly appeared in front of me."
Bian Ji put her right arm around him and brushed the snow off him. "Even you didn't recognize me. It seems my disguise was quite successful."
"..."
"I knew you were busy, so I didn't call. I spent the whole day in the recording studio, and it got a bit stuffy, so I went back to change my clothes and came out for some fresh air, and also..."
With a smile playing on her lips, she said, "Let's try our luck."
Unexpectedly, he actually ran into her.
Thinking that Lu Yinzhao would likely take this route if he wanted to go back to school, Bian Ji decided to take a walk along this path.
"So where should I go now?" Lu Yinzhao asked hesitantly.
"It's up to you. If you want to go back to your dorm, I'll walk you downstairs." Bian Ji stared at Lu Yinzhao's flushed cheeks, unsure whether they were red from the cold wind or from shyness.
Lu Yinzhao put his hand into Bian Ji's coat pocket, where it had already been warmed. After a moment, he said, "Then I'll tell my roommates."
Seeing that he had made his choice, Bian Ji put his arm around him and turned back onto the road, slowly walking forward.
After sending the message in the roommate group, Lu Yinzhao looked Bian Ji up and down again.
"You're too bold to come out alone. If your fans find out, you're finished! They'll surround you and see how you handle it!" Lu Yinzhao complained.
"Maybe they think the same way you do, they don't think the person who looks like a killer on the street is me," Bian Ji said calmly.
Lu Yinzhao: "..." When did Bian Ji learn to be humorous?
"But you, why aren't you using an umbrella? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
After Lu Yinzhao finished reprimanding someone, it was Bian Ji's turn to reprimand someone else.
Lu Yinzhao said guiltily, "It's such a short distance, it should be fine, the snow is very light..."
"You really have a short memory." Bian Ji reached out and pinched his cheek, which was still as bouncy and soft as when he was a child.
Lu Yinzhao shook off his hand. "Stop talking nonsense and go back. I'm hungry."
Didn't you eat lunch this afternoon?
"I ate a boxed lunch, but I wasn't full. I was running around all day, and I used up a lot of energy!" Lu Yinzhao said, raising his head.
"Oh, Zhao Zhao, you've really worked hard. I was just oblivious."
Seeing that Bian Ji was still joking with him, Lu Yinzhao hit him in annoyance.
This man has two faces.
...
Back inside, Bian Ji took off his thick coat and went straight to the kitchen to boil water.
"Go take a hot shower first to warm yourself up, then come and eat."
"Okay." Lu Yinzhao was indeed worried about catching a cold again, so she took a change of clothes from the closet and headed to the bathroom.
This place is starting to feel more and more like their home.
Lu Yinzhao was quietly lost in thought while taking a shower. Why did they seem like they had been married for many years?
This overwhelming sense of security and warmth gave Lu Yinzhao this illusion.
The warm water washed over my body, instantly invigorating my blood and leaving me feeling warm all over.
Wearing the kitten pajamas Bian Ji bought for him, Lu Yinzhao sat happily at the dining table.
He held chopsticks in his hand, gazing longingly at Bianji as he ladled noodles into the pot.
"Are you done yet? Are you done yet? I've already finished washing, and you're still not done. You're so slow!"
No sooner had she urged him than Bian Ji placed the noodles in front of him, saying, "Be careful, it's hot."
The bowl of noodles was surprisingly rich in ingredients, including green vegetables, a poached egg, and even some seaweed and fish cakes.
"This looks delicious; you could open a shop here." Lu Yinzhao always knew how to praise people, especially those who were good at cooking.
Bian Ji sat to the side, silently watching the "little glutton" in front of him start eating, feeling particularly warm inside.
No matter how busy he is at work, if he can see Lu Yinzhao every time he comes back, all his fatigue will be swept away.
His decision to come back today was definitely the right one.
Taking advantage of the warm and cozy atmosphere, Bian Ji said, "Tonight, you'll sleep with me."
Snap.
Lu Yinzhao was so startled that she dropped her chopsticks.
He quickly picked up his chopsticks again and wiped up the spilled noodle soup with a tissue.
"I...I...I'm not ready yet," he stammered.
