Yu Yuehui only realized it was a photo studio once she got inside. She pulled Xie Yan aside and whispered, "It's very expensive inside, let's not waste our money."
Xie Yan held her down and whispered, "It's okay, just this once. We'll only get married once in our lives. Don't you want to commemorate this? Don't you want to preserve the most beautiful version of yourself right now?"
These words made Yu Yuehui blush. She felt that what Xie Yan said made a lot of sense, and she nodded obediently.
Xie Yan then led her to the master craftsman and said with a smile, "Master, let's take a picture!"
When the old craftsman heard that people had come in, he came out from behind the counter wearing glasses, and looked at the two of them with a smile. They were obviously a newlywed couple, and he only served them when they came to take pictures!
The experienced photographer adjusted his glasses, waved to Xie Yan, and said with a smile, "Young man, bring your wife over here and take a look at the photos taken by other newlyweds. See if you two prefer sitting or standing?"
Xie Yan led Yu Yuehui over. Since entering the room, Xie Yan could clearly sense Yuehui's nervousness. He held Yu Yuehui's hand tightly and gently comforted her.
The two walked over and looked at the photos. They had to admit that the photographer's skills were quite good. Every couple was photographed beautifully, and each photo had its own unique characteristics. They were completely different from the generic photos of later generations; these were photos with real soul.
Xie Yan himself had a problem making choices. He felt that every pose was good and had a strong sense of the times. He turned to Yu Yuehui and asked, "Yuehui, which one do you want to choose?"
Yu Yue replied that it was her first time at a photo studio, so she was a bit reserved. She saw that all the photos were beautiful, but she didn't know how to choose. She shook her head as she looked at Xie Yan.
He whispered, "You choose! I'm fine with either!"
Xie Yan saw this and, since that was the case, he took out two wedding candies from his pocket and handed them to the photographer. These candies were ones he had bought for himself before. They hadn't bought their wedding candies yet, but wedding candies were all about good luck and a nice sound, and it didn't matter when they were bought.
This is practically new to him! "Master, you must have experience, can you help us see what positions suit us best and what looks good?"
Xie Yan looked at the candy he handed to his master and thought to himself that after buying the candy, he would definitely take two pieces to fill his private stash first. His little private stash was not to be touched.
The groom didn't refuse, took the two wedding candies, and said with a smile, "Oh! Since you trust me so much, young man, I can't let you down! I have to make sure these two candies are worth it; I can't just take them for free!"
The main problem is that the photographer rarely sees anyone come to his studio for ten days or half a month. When someone does come, he's quite happy because he can chat with them and have his picture taken—it's a great thing! The photographer is very happy!
He looked at Yu Yuehui, then turned to Xie Yan with a smile and asked, "Your wife's hairstyle isn't good. Would you mind if I redo it for her?"
Xie Yan looked at Yue Hui, his eyes asking if she could accept it.
This was Yu Yuehui's first time experiencing something like this, and she was a little timid, but she trusted Xie Yan completely. After all, he came from a big city and must have seen a lot, so she said, "You decide! I believe you!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan understood that it meant he could accept it! He turned to his master and said, "Sure! But you must make sure my wife looks good! This is our first time taking a picture together, something we'll keep for our descendants to boast about! It can't be ugly!"
The hairdresser burst into laughter at Xie Yan's antics: "Alright! If you're not satisfied later, I'll just comb your wife's hair back! Those two little pigtails of hers are a piece of cake for me!"
The master photographer had taken photos of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in his younger days, and he was quite knowledgeable about hairstyles and clothing.
His judgment is absolutely impeccable! Unless the newlyweds themselves have terrible taste!
He first untied Yu Yuehui's braid and combed her hair out. Because of the long time she had been braiding, her hair was naturally curly after being combed out, giving her a look of big, wavy hair.
The hairdresser looked at the hair and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He picked up a small section of hair and braided it. After braiding it, he coiled it in front of him, then took out a shiny hair clip and clipped it onto Yu Yue's hair. He then carefully dripped a drop of hair oil and applied it to Yu Yue's loose hair, instantly making the hair loss look more textured.
When Xie Yan saw Yu Yuehui with her hair done, he was surprised for a moment. Her curly hair and the braided braid in front of her head formed a natural high crown like a headband!
Just behind the ear, there's a pretty clip that perfectly hides the braid.
Xie Yan was astonished, staring incredulously at the stylist. Wasn't this the Hong Kong style that would be popular a few years later? This hairstyle was not only simple but also perfectly covered Yu Yuehui's flaws, making her face look half the size it used to be!
He gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Great job! Master, your skills are really excellent!"
The hairdresser was secretly pleased, but maintained a calm expression, shaking his head slightly. "Sigh! The hairstyles I used to do were really good. This is just average. The main thing is that your wife has a good foundation! There aren't any major flaws on her face!"
Aside from being overweight, he has no other flaws!
These words warmed Yu Yuehui's heart! This was the first time someone had ever complimented her on her looks! Although the compliment wasn't very obvious!
She looked at Xie Yan with sparkling eyes, waiting for his praise.
Xie Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes! Master, you're right. My wife is indeed beautiful, but your cooking skills are also excellent. Your skills and my wife complement each other perfectly!"
The experienced chef burst into laughter at Xie Yan's praise!
Xie Yan seized the opportunity to say, "Master, could you help us decide which poses would suit us best for taking photos?"
The chef took out an antique-style chair from inside and placed it in front of the backdrop for the chairman's portrait. Then he beckoned to Xie Yan, "Come on, young man, sit down. Young lady, come over here and stand behind him. Yes, that's it! Put your hand on his shoulder!"
Seeing that the two had posed, the photographer ran behind the camera. The two in the camera looked good, but a bit stiff! So he said, "Hey! You two don't need to be so serious! A wedding is such a joyous occasion, you should be happy, why aren't you smiling? Smile! The young man is so handsome, he doesn't look handsome with a stiff face!"
"Smile!"
Xie Yan couldn't help but laugh at his master's humorous tone. Yu Yue looked back at Xie Yan, and, infected by his smile, couldn't help but smile as well!
Seeing this, the photographer quickly pressed the shutter button, and with a flash of white light, a beautiful moment was captured! After paying the fee and agreeing on a time for the photo shoot with the photographer, Xie Yan took the slip and left the photo studio.
It was already noon. Xie Yan looked at the state-run restaurant in front of him and smelled the aroma emanating from it. He had only one thought in his mind: he wanted to eat!
