Making money is a joyful thing for Xu Qian, even if it's somewhat...shameful.
"Raise your head a little higher, make your lips even more haughty, yes, yes, be aloof! You know what aloof is? The kind that's devoid of emotion..."
Xu Qian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Was it that aloof, cold vibe, like standing on a refrigerator?
Director Wei stared at him for a while, then patted the photographer on the shoulder, "I think this 'degree' can be adjusted a little. His face isn't suited to a cool and aloof look; it's too gentle. Let's change the approach."
"...Oh." The cameraman thought to himself, "Anyway, you're the client, so you call the shots."
Because the plan was temporarily adjusted, Xu Qian, who was being photographed, was able to rest for a while. He sat for about five minutes when the door was suddenly opened, and Xiang Feifei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came in.
"You've worked hard, is it alright?" Xiang Feifei asked Xu Qian.
Xu Qian smiled faintly and shook his head, "It's almost there, Miss Wei said it needs some adjustments."
“It’s alright,” Xiang Feifei comforted her. “You rest for a while, I’ll go check on the situation.”
"Hmm." Xu Qian nodded slightly. His jawline was very smooth, and a moment when he lowered his head revealed an almost perfect profile.
Director Wei turned his head and saw this scene. Suddenly, he thought of something and quickly called his assistant, asking her to discuss with the makeup artist about changing to olive green contact lenses.
After a while of this, Xu Qian was called to the dressing room, where the makeup artist was holding the colored contact lenses.
"Have you ever worn colored contact lenses?" the makeup artist asked him with a smile.
Xu Qian shook his head. He had heard of it, but he had never used it.
"It might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but you can bear with it for the sake of the shoot."
"It's alright, you can come."
After a while, Xu Qian clearly felt the foreign object in his eye, but it was still bearable. He blinked twice and felt a little better.
"Hmm~ Not bad~" The makeup artist leaned back, very satisfied with her new work.
Director Wei waited in the dressing room. Looking at herself in the mirror, her smile widened; she had found her rhythm.
Because Xu Qian didn't sweat much, and his makeup was perfect, the makeup artist only touched up his makeup symbolically before indicating that he could be taken away.
Back in the filming room, Director Wei went over the revised plan with Xu Qian again. Compared to the previous constraints, the revised plan was much more flexible.
With Director Wei backing him up, Xu Qian felt free to let go and view the new profession of Bamboo Master in the Thousand Demon Records from his own perspective—a figure who bends but does not break, breaks but does not snap, possessing a resolute heart.
After readjustment, the subsequent filming went much more smoothly. Since it was just a sample shoot, the process didn't take long, and it was announced that it was over at 4 pm.
Before Xu Qian could even change his clothes, Xiang Feifei pulled him aside for a photo. She had been eyeing his outfit for a long time (actually, she was eyeing it too)!
After taking photos with Xiang Feifei, Xiaomai also joined in the fun, and finally a few teachers from the makeup room came too. By the time everyone was done, it was almost five o'clock.
Of course, taking photos together is fine, but it can't be posted out in a short time. After all, Feng Tang hasn't officially released any information yet. It's okay to keep it to yourself, but it can't be leaked.
"Um," Xiaomai suddenly became awkward after taking the photo, "Brother Xu, could you give me your autograph?"
Xu Qian was taken aback at first, then laughed, "Why can't I sign it?"
"Here, here!" Xiaomai took out the notebook she had prepared. Actually, she had wanted an autograph for a long time, but they weren't very close before, and she felt that the person she was talking to was quite distant, so she only dared to come over and ask for an autograph now.
"Done." Xu Qian quickly wrote his name. Although the pen was a water-based pen, the handwriting was still incredibly elegant, perfectly demonstrating what it means to have a handwriting that reflects one's personality.
"Um~ Thank you, Brother Xu~"
Xu Qian returned the smile and left with Meng Ziqiu.
...
After talking to Feifei and Director Wei, I came out and saw Xiaomai staring blankly. I looked around, but there was no one there! She was staring at thin air!
"What are you looking at? Your eyes are about to pop out!"
"Senior..." Xiaomai covered her face, "I think I'm in love~"
Xiang Feifei: "...???"
"Ahhh~" Xiaomai twisted her body, her face and ears turning red.
"Who do you like?" Xiang Feifei asked her.
"What do you think of Brother Xu...?" Xiaomai asked shyly.
"..." Xiang Feifei pried her hand away, "He has a girlfriend, don't even think about it!"
"--!!!"a bolt from the blue!
Xu Qian was unaware that he had unknowingly hurt a young girl's heart. After finishing his work, he went back to school to take the city's mock exam.
Meng Ziqiu said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon and let you know when I get there."
“Okay,” Xu Qian opened the car door, “No rush, just do what you think is best.”
"become!"
After getting off the bus, Xu Qian greeted the security guard at the school gate and entered the school. As a unique free time at school, coupled with his handsome face, Xu Qian and the security guard were already very familiar with each other.
Today is Saturday. Except for the senior students who are taking mock exams, the other students have either gone home or are still sleeping in their dormitories. The whole campus seems deserted.
As soon as Xu Qian entered the classroom after going upstairs, the air seemed to freeze for a second before slowly coming alive again.
"Qin You! You're back!" It was Shi Heng who spoke.
Xu Qian smiled back and nodded at him, "Come back for the exam."
"Brother." Meng Ziqiu smiled as well.
"Let's play ball at noon after the exam! Everyone's missed you since you haven't been here for so long!" Shi Heng, being a very outgoing person, always spoke in this tone to everyone, including 'Qin You'.
"Sure, I haven't played in ages." With that, Xu Qian slung his bag over his shoulder and sat back down in his seat.
While they were talking, the school forum also updated 'Senior Qin's' status.
[I'm furious! Why did I have to go home this week?! Why?!]
[Ahhh, Senior Qin is finally back at school~]
[Waiting for an eye wash—]
[I wonder if Senior Qin's mom is feeling any better. She's already a senior in high school, so sad~]
[Hopefully everything will be alright~]
My sister said that Senior Qin is going to play basketball at noon!
[I'm all set! My new camera is finally getting some use!]
So, after finishing his exam and having eaten, Xu Qian arrived at the basketball court and found that there were many more people there. At first glance, he thought it was some special day.
Only the basketball team members were different; they were moved to tears. "I'm so touched! After so many days, I actually saw the cheerleaders again."
"Go ahead." Xu Qian shook his head helplessly and tossed the ball to Meng Liangchen beside him.
