When Shao Jingque suddenly heard Fang Ya mention the photo studio, he immediately became alert, but his expression remained calm.
"Yeah, I heard there was a new photo studio on Commercial Street, so I asked Sister Wu to go with me to check it out and take a picture. So, you're going there to take pictures, too?"
Fang Ya quickly shook her head:
"No, I wanted to catch up and say thank you to Sister Jingque, but then I saw Sister Wushuang was there too, so I didn't feel comfortable coming over to disturb her."
Shao Jingque nodded, painted her eyebrows in the mirror and didn't respond. She didn't want to continue this topic.
The photo studio was three blocks away from the art troupe, which meant that Fang Ya said sorry to bother them, but she quietly followed the two of them so far from the gate. This behavior was a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.
In addition, she had heard from Liu Cuirong and Wu Shuang before that the troupe had strict control over employees taking private jobs. Shao Jingque didn't want anyone to discover her relationship with the photo studio at this moment, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Shao Jingque was not sure whether Fang Ya had any other purpose in saying this, and just wanted to find a random reason to shut her up.
Fang Ya opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but at this moment Liu Cuirong just walked into the dressing room. She was startled and immediately lowered her head and walked away with her makeup box.
Liu Cuirong looked at Fang Ya suspiciously for a few times, then turned to look at Shao Jingque. Seeing that she was drawing her eyebrows, she immediately walked over enthusiastically:
"Oh, sister Jingque, I'm late today and left you busy all by yourself. Take a break, let me do it!"
As she spoke, she took the cosmetics from Shao Jingque's hand. When she looked up, she saw Fang Ya, who had walked to the corner, still stealing glances at Shao Jingque.
Liu Cuirong immediately glared at her fiercely. Fang Ya was so frightened that she shuddered and quickly turned her back and pretended to pack her things.
Seeing Fang Ya act like a mouse seeing a cat in front of her, Liu Cuirong snorted with pride and shouted:
"Hey, you! Didn't you notice that the hairspray is almost gone? Go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy a bottle of hairspray. You've been standing there like a log all day, doing nothing at all. You have no sense at all!"
Fang Ya shuddered again when she yelled at her. Several more people had already entered the dressing room. Liu Cuirong was deliberately embarrassing her in front of others!
But Fang Ya could only bear it with a red face, and agreed repeatedly while jogging out.
As soon as she ran out of the rehearsal room, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer and they kept welling up in her eyes. The feeling of being targeted would be uncomfortable for anyone.
As I was walking out, rubbing my eyes, I heard a cheerful male voice:
"Hello, do you know Shao Jingque?"
Fang Ya quickly wiped the tears from her face and looked up, only to find a young man in fashionable clothes standing in front of her.
The tall man with a sunny and handsome face had a pair of curved eyes that were looking at Fang Ya with a smile, making her face turn red for no reason:
"Recognize, know."
Rong Yongsi's smile became even brighter:
"Great, I'm her friend. Where can I find her?"
Fang Ya blushed and pointed at the building behind her:
"...Sister Jingque is putting on makeup in the dressing room in the rehearsal hall. You can find her there."
Rong Yongsi smiled and thanked her. He had already turned to leave, but he turned back and took a few quick steps to catch up with Fang Ya. He took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her:
"This is for you."
Fang Ya subconsciously took the handkerchief he handed her. Before she could react why, she saw him smiling, waving at her, and turning to walk towards the rehearsal room.
She was stunned for a few seconds before she remembered something and quickly looked towards the reflective glass window next to her.
I saw the person in the mirror had red eyes and a red nose, and most importantly, there were several red and purple marks all over his face, making him look like a tabby cat!
She took a breath suddenly. It must be that she had some makeup on her hands when she was putting makeup on Shao Jingque, and it got all over her face when she wiped her tears with her hands just now.
Fang Ya's face suddenly turned even redder. Thinking of the young man she had just met who was talking to such a funny face the whole time, she felt her face getting hot.
She quickly wiped the makeup off her face in front of the glass, and suddenly she smelled a faint fragrance coming from the handkerchief. She couldn't help but put it to her nose and sniffed it. It was a fragrance she had never smelled before, like some kind of fragrant wood, with a warm smell.
She stared blankly at the stained handkerchief, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened as she recalled the young man's bright and warm smile.
She turned and looked in the direction of the rehearsal room, and found that Rong Yongsi seemed to have not found the way to the backstage and was still wandering at the door. Suddenly, a surge of courage rose in her heart.
She trotted over, blushing and biting her lip as she said to Rong Yongsi:
"The backstage of the rehearsal hall is hard to find. Can I go and call Sister Jingque out for you?"
Rong Yongsi was of course overjoyed and thanked her profusely:
"That's great, thank you!"
Fang Ya pursed her lips and smiled:
"Then...what's your name? I can tell Sister Jingque who's looking for her."
Rong Yongsi slapped his head and said happily:
"Look at me. I've been talking for so long that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Rong Yongsi, and I haven't asked you what your name is yet?"
Rong... Yongsi...
Why do the two words "Yongsi" sound familiar?
Fang Ya didn't think much about it and smiled shyly:
"My name is Fang Ya. Just wait here and I'll call someone for you."
"Thank you, Fang Ya!"
Fang Ya jogged along with a shy smile on her face. She was in a rare happy mood and had forgotten all her previous depression.
Entering the dressing room, Shao Jingque had just finished her makeup. Liu Cuirong was a little surprised to see her come back so soon:
"Where's the hairspray I asked you to buy? Did you get it back so quickly?"
The supply and marketing cooperative is not close to the art troupe, so Liu Cuirong deliberately sent people away to prevent Fang Ya from learning from her. Unexpectedly, she came back so soon.
When Fang Ya heard Liu Cuirong asking her a question, the smile on her face was replaced by panic, and she stammered:
"I haven't bought it yet. I just ran into someone looking for Sister Jingque at the door, so I came back to tell her..."
"you--"
Unexpectedly, before Liu Cuirong could finish her curse, Shao Jingque stood up with a nervous look on his face, and his voice directly drowned out Liu Cuirong:
"Someone's looking for me?"
At this moment, all she could think about was that it must not be Yao Wenbin. That was the last glimmer of hope in her heart.
Fang Ya didn't expect Shao Jingque's reaction to be so intense. She shrank her neck and nodded.
"Well, he said his name is Rong Yongsi."
A huge weight lifted off Shao Jingque's heart, and his brows relaxed considerably, a smile forming on his face.
"Thank you, Xiaoya. I understand. You can go ahead and do your work."
Fang Ya quickly agreed, turned around and ran out of the dressing room, fearing that if she was a step slower, she would be grabbed and scolded by Liu Cuirong again.
