Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Male Model.
In the height of July, when the rainy season first arrived, it was a long and prolonged downpour.
Thick clouds that had accumulated for several days hung darkly in the sky, as if they could crush a huge building at any time.
Amidst the roar of thunder and rain, a bright flash of lightning flashed across his majestic outline. His long eyelashes cast a layer of shadow, and his lowered eyes always had an unspeakable danger in them.
“Trust in your profession.”
Just a light sentence, neither light nor heavy.
But it seemed as if a burden of "you will bear the consequences" was placed on her shoulders.
But she doesn't live in this house, so how can she take the responsibility of making the final decision? She can't contradict herself by saying: I'm not that professional, you should just do what you like.
They were a little stuck for a moment and looked at each other in confusion: "..."
"Knock-knock—"
There was a knock on the conference room door.
"Master, Team Shi--"
Zhao Xuan opened the door in one go, only to be struck by the subtle atmosphere between the two. He suddenly felt a bit disheveled, as if he had arrived at an inopportune moment. "Well, well...afternoon tea is here. I'll serve it to you."
"…good!"
Su Tu, as if he had found a life-saving straw, immediately pulled himself away from the endless staring: "Come in."
Zhao Xuan then walked in cautiously, and with some hesitation placed two exquisitely presented desserts and drinks in front of the two people.
When I looked up, I heard Shi Shu say calmly, "Thank you."
“No, no!”
He immediately straightened up, looking extremely flustered, and waved his hands quickly: "We should be the ones thanking you for coming over to look at the plan and even treating us to afternoon tea!"
I couldn't help but show off: "Oh, by the way, there are also those upstairs. I will deliver them to them when I go out!"
Su Tu took advantage of the chaos to rub his stiff face.
I thought to myself, let’s see.
It's so scary...
Shi Shu nodded calmly: "It's troublesome."
The peripheral vision is wide.
“No trouble, no trouble!”
Zhao Xuan laughed dryly and tried to make conversation: "What do you think of your plan?"
Shi Shu was not impatient: "It's settled."
“It’s…decided?!”
Zhao Xuan's eyes suddenly widened. He thought, "How long have you two been here? Even the time you've been staring at my master must be longer than the blueprints, right? How can this be decided?"
But what he showed was: "Then, then my master's plan must be very good!"
Shi Shu had no doubt about it: "Indeed."
Su Tu: “…”
"ha……"
Zhao Xuan was shocked, but also a little excited: "Team then, do you have time now?"
He dressed up today, wearing a T-shirt, trousers and sneakers that were jointly branded by Shishu and a sports brand. He almost had the five big words "I am your fan" welded on his forehead.
I finally mustered the courage to strike up a conversation, sincerely not wanting to miss this opportunity: "I'm such a fan! Ever since the Toronto World Championships seven years ago, I've been watching every one of your matches live!"
"I just wanted to ask, if it's not too intrusive, would it be convenient for me to take a photo with you?"
After saying that, he looked at Su Tu as if asking for instructions.
Firstly, he was at work after all, and it was indeed inappropriate to disturb the clients like this; secondly, he couldn't explain why, but he had a strange intuition that this matter required her consent before Shi Shu would nod.
Su Tu was confused: "..."
With an expression that said, "You're asking about him, why are you looking at me?", she looked around and saw that the two seemed to be really waiting for her to express her opinion. Then she said without knowing what was going on: "Can I take the photo for you?"
And then it happened.
Shi Shu really didn't hesitate at all and cooperated to shoot a series.
At the same time, three eager heads popped in from outside the door:
Tao Qingqing raised her hand: "Captain Shi, can I take a picture too?"
Yue Jia: “…I want to, too.”
Chen Weizhou: "And me!"
Due to work needs, Su Tu’s photography skills are pretty good, he can take pictures very quickly, and he can also give some guidance on everyone’s position and posture during the process.
The only shortcoming was probably that someone had only one expression throughout the whole process. Even though she had a slightly malicious intention and asked him to "smile" several times through the camera, he just moved the corners of his lips perfunctorily, with no smile in his eyes or eyebrows.
Like a male model forced to work.
Seeing this, she felt worried for the sponsor.
There are benefits too.
It's just that it's not that scary because of the screen.
After she finished taking the photos, she took a quick look and confirmed that there were no problems. Then she returned the phone to Zhao Xuan: "Okay."
Tao Qingqing came over immediately: "Let me see, let me see!"
Chen Weizhou exclaimed: "Damn! Master, you are such a good photographer!"
Zhao Xuan boasted: "I must be at least 185cm tall in this picture!"
Yue Jia interrupted: "That's because Captain Shi didn't stand up."
Zhao Xuan jumped up and down: "You are killing people and destroying their hearts——"
Perhaps it is because public figures are often asked to take photos, and this widespread recognition carries a layer of "affinity" with them, or perhaps it is because Shi Shu did not show any impatience during the repeated photo-shooting process just now.
So everyone had long forgotten the initial nervousness, and Tao Qingqing even excitedly asked, "Sister Su Su, do you want to take a picture too?"
Su Tu was originally an exception who was isolated from the relaxation. He had just sat back in his original seat when his expression froze again: "..."
Tao Qingqing was holding the phone, about to direct the two to get closer, but suddenly discovered: "Do you think that Master and Captain Shi seem..."
Yue Jia responded with a look: It’s quite a match.
Handsome men and beautiful women.
Poor body shape, feeling of inhibition.
Calm and cool, tough and soft.
The most important thing is——
As soon as they heard that they were going to take a photo, they subconsciously looked at each other, the distance shortened, their eyes met, they bowed their heads and looked up, surrendered and accepted, and the sense of fate was just a matter of a moment.
“Crack—”
The flash went off and both of them looked towards the camera at the same time.
“Crack—”
There is another one facing me.
She had no room to refuse or accept.
Su Tu blushed suddenly: "..."
With his heartbeat unbalanced, he pretended to be annoyed: "Stop it! Go back to work."
"Okay, okay~"
Tao Qingqing responded repeatedly, and said meaningfully as he walked out, "I'll leave the space for you."
He retreated all the way to the door, then suddenly turned back and pried into the door frame with great interest: "I have one more question!"
"Captain Shi, is it convenient to post these photos on social media? Like the studio's WeChat or Weibo?"
She is not shipping any CP.
Instead, he was just fulfilling his job responsibly and trying every possible way to promote the studio!
Shi Shu didn't ask any more questions: "As you wish."
Su Tu: “…”
Tao Qingqing: "Received!"
…
The hustle and bustle stopped abruptly, but the air didn't cool down.
Su Tu's palms were slightly sweaty and his heart was beating a little too fast.
I couldn't explain why exactly, but I felt that everything that had just happened seemed a little inappropriate, whether it was everyone's inexplicable booing or his unexpected cooperation.
"Feel sorry."
She pursed her lips and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry for wasting your time."
Shi Shu leaned back in his chair and didn't respond: "Are you busy this afternoon?"
Su Tu raised his eyes: "Not busy."
Although she still has a lot of things to do, she usually makes at least half a day available when she has appointments with clients: "I've only scheduled time with you in the afternoon."
I didn't expect it to be so smooth.
The plan was discussed in less than an hour.
Shi Shu didn't waste any time: "Then I'll stay a little longer?"
Su Tu was a little confused: "Huh?"
He reached out and pushed the dessert to a suitable position for her to taste, tapping the table with his fingertips: "Together?"
"hold head high…"
Su Tu was stunned: "Of course."
It was his treat in the first place, and the food was already on the table. We couldn't just ask him to take it away, right?
Moreover, if he didn't want to, would she still have the guts to be tough enough to kick Party A's father out in person?
Shi Shu did not delve into it further.
She either doesn't have the heart or the courage to do so.
After getting permission, he calmly took the straw, held the top with his right hand, tore off half of the packaging from the middle with his left hand, stuck the tail end into the cup, and then tore off the remaining half.
When he put the drink to her left, he leaned forward slightly, and the clear hormones overwhelmed and suddenly enveloped her.
Su Tu looked at the pair of large, bony hands that were doing these things slowly and calmly. The blush on his cheeks that had just faded grew slightly again: "...Thank you."
Shi Shu hummed.
After taking a symbolic sip of the fruit drink, there was another long silence.
Since he didn't move, Su Tu naturally felt embarrassed to move either. But if the stalemate continued, would they have to sit and guard these desserts together until dark?
He bit the straw and then released it, finally gritted his teeth and raised his eyes pleadingly: "Um... do you want to watch a movie?"
Although that kind of picture is also quite fantasy.
But it's much better to let him stare at the movie than stare at himself!
Shi Shu nodded, saying indifferently, "Okay."
Su Tu was as if granted amnesty and quickly reached for the remote control: "What movies do you want to watch? I'll see if there's any."
Shi Shu paused and said, "The Worst Person in the World."
“…”
"What a coincidence?"
Su Tu was stunned again and looked at him in disbelief: "I saw someone recommend this movie on Weibo a few days ago. I thought the review was well written and forwarded it..." I thought I could watch it next time when I have time.
Only after I finished speaking did I realize I had said something wrong.
It's not like they have a relationship where they can share these trivial matters.
"Um."
Shi Shu didn't let her down, but as if to verify her words, he responded in return: "I also saw a recommendation on Weibo."
Su Tu's teasing tone faded: "Ah..."
I remember that I visited Weibo a few days ago just to look up information, and I also remember the style of his homepage. It was the type that would never post an update except for advertising.
I didn't expect that I would brush these on a regular basis.
It seems that you really love watching movies.
She said nothing more and started to find the film.
When I clicked play and looked back, he had moved further away, giving up most of the space facing the screen. He sat near the corner of the table and said, "Sit here."
Su Tu: “…”
There is a long table for 10 people in the conference room, which can accommodate 8 people on both sides, 1 at the head and 1 at the tail. However, because it is wide, 2 people can sit down if they squeeze in.
In fact, in terms of distance, there is not much difference between sitting beside him and sitting next to him, but she was still a little embarrassed by his repeated attentiveness and thoughtfulness.
I couldn't think of a suitable reason to refuse, and I felt that my refusal would be rejected again, so I finally moved over slowly: "...Thank you."
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect.
After moving it over, I found that there seemed to be a difference.
Because he was sitting in the corner, with one hand on the edge of the table, his body facing her sideways in a semi-enclosed posture. Although he still maintained a safe distance, if you looked from the outside, it was possible that they were hugging each other.
She sensed this because when he leaned forward again to move the dessert, the aura of aggression surrounding her became noticeably stronger, and her peripheral vision was uncontrollably focused on the subtle movements of that slender hand...
In short, it is the original position where the host and the guest are clearly distinguished.
Suddenly, things became a little ambiguous.
Su Tu didn't remember when he started to "enjoy" it. When he came to his senses, he had already calmed down and took the spoon he handed to him and honestly tasted the poison.
Only after discovering that it was not only non-toxic but also quite delicious did they slow down.
Out of the corner of my eye, I stole a glance at the large, extremely white hand resting on the wall of the Qinshui cup, as if it was born to be in the water...
In the enclosed space, the film has a long and melodious sound.
Outside the window, dark clouds covered the sky and the rain was like a curtain.
She was a little absent-minded, glancing at the TV and the sky from time to time.
As if trying to hide something, when he stirred the spoon again and looked down, he found that the dessert he had eaten had "grown" again without him knowing.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she realized that her original portion of red, white and salt had been messed up and moved aside.
Instead, in front of me was a complete honey linglong.
Without waiting to ask questions.
The deep and magnetic voice that had been silent for a long time sounded again: "Do me a favor."
Su Tu raised his head slowly, as if an electric current had passed through his eardrums. He met the sharp eyes up close, but his breathing became disordered as he couldn't adapt. "You... can't eat these?"
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to particularly like looking people in the eye when he spoke: “Well, you need to control your weight.”
“…Oh.” Su Tu remained stiff for a few seconds, but couldn’t help avoiding his gaze. He looked very busy, watching TV while testing the poison again, and muttering in his heart.
I can’t eat it but I still order it.
Could it be that he has a habit of watching live food broadcasts?
"Is it delicious?" He suddenly checked.
"…ah?"
As if she had been called out for being absent from duty, she didn't even have time to suppress the expression on her face when she looked up: "Of course, it's delicious."
Such an expensive thing.
If you say it tastes bad, you might get struck by lightning, right?
Shi Shu didn't question it, and asked earnestly, as if he were conducting customer research: "Which one?"
Su Tu realized that he might actually be doing research.
You have to find someone to try out which one tastes better before you can show your love to "that person", right?
Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved.
After savoring it carefully for a while, he quickly pointed to the honey version in front of him and said, "This one."
Shi Shu asked, “Hmm?”
Su Tu's peach blossom eyes curved slightly, seemingly sincere, but actually cunningly said: "Because, other people's things always smell better."
It would be fine if she was forced to bear the consequences of the decision-making plan, but she didn't want to continue to provide such life-threatening advice.
What if that person's preference is exactly the opposite of hers? How unfair would that be to her?
This clever look is rare.
Shi Shu saw her twice today and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he didn't continue to "embarrass" her.
-
Tang Mo first went to Guanyu at noon, and like a spy, she heard a lot of gossip, then changed her route and went to Xingyao Building.
He pushed the door open hastily and entered with words on his lips, but he bumped into four heads that were stretched to the extreme, staring furtively in the direction of the meeting room, not knowing what they were spying on.
She instinctively stopped talking, bent down and followed suit, lowering her voice: "Who is this male model? He looks quite handsome."
From this angle you can only see the back.
But it is enough to see that he has a straight figure and a huge magnetic field, which gives people a sense of deterrence that makes people stop in their tracks.
When a few people heard the sound, they were startled briefly, but they were not overly surprised.
"Handsome, right?"
Tao Qingqing was closest to the door. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "I've never seen him take off his clothes. Everyone says he looks handsome when he's dressed!"
?
Tang Mo thought she was skirting the line, and with a puzzled look on her face, she changed her angle and took a closer look. Her eyes almost popped out of her head: "Holy crap—"
"He, he, he's not the one—"
"Hehe~"
Tao Qingqing pulled a chair and motioned for her to sit down: "That's right! It's the man whose bathing photos are flying all over the world, who always takes off his swimming trunks by the pool, and my mother still forced me to marry him!"
"Same world, same mom!"
Tang Mo's distress increased by 1: "I understand this feeling! But the question is, does he know that he wants to marry both of us at the same time?"
"Let's line up first."
Chen Weizhou pointed towards the conference room and interrupted frivolously, "If Master isn't interested in this kind of man, you two might have a chance."
Tang Mo glanced inside again, her expression conflicted. "If you put it that way, I'm really torn. Should I help my sisters or myself?"
Chen Weizhou sneered: "It seems as if the decision-making power lies in your hands."
Tang Mo grabbed the stapler and wanted to smash it on his face: "So what if I just fantasize about it?!"
Chen Weizhou: “…”
"Calm down, calm down—"
Zhao Xuan pretended to stop him and said, "Let's spare his life for now. We'll kill him after we finish the painting."
Tao Qingqing also pulled up a chair, took out a portion of the remaining afternoon tea, and said, "Let's just talk about our own things. Don't argue with him."
Tang Mo snorted, unpacked the package, and raised her chin towards the inside: "What's going on?"
"That's what you saw."
Tao Qingqing waited for her to take a bite before asking mysteriously, "How does it taste?"
“…”
Tang Mo savored it carefully, and immediately tears welled up in her eyes: "Although I'm a bit like a wild boar who can't eat fine bran, but I seem to be able to sense that this thing is more expensive than my daily salary."
“Hahahahahaha——”
Zhao Xuan laughed until tears came out: "Then your feeling is quite accurate!"
Yue Jia added: "It was invited by the one you want to marry."
?
Tang Mo couldn't hold it in any longer: "So what's going on?!"
The few of them didn't keep the secret any longer, and soon talked about the recent events in a vivid and artistic way.
Talking about the origin of afternoon tea, Zhao Xuan was so happy: "You have no idea how wonderful Boss Yang's expression was when we went upstairs to deliver it!"
"Their employee initially thought it was their boss's order and praised it profusely to his face! We just had to endure it until they finished praising it before explaining—"
"Boss Yang is truly generous. He even thought of us when ordering afternoon tea. This happened to be a good opportunity for us customers to come across it. We felt it was not easy for you to only eat the same thing every week, so we wanted to let everyone have a taste of something good too."
"You're welcome, don't be polite!"
"Don't feel pressured, just think of it as Boss Yang's invitation! After all, if he hadn't taken the initiative to come downstairs and ask for benefits for everyone, this wouldn't have happened at all!"
"——This is so funny! If I had to say my biggest regret today, it would definitely be that I didn't pull out my phone and take a picture for Boss Yang in time!!!"
Several people reviewed the experience in an immersive manner.
Yue Jia remained silent, her eyes frequently scanning the conference room. Seeing the two people, who had initially sat side by side, now getting closer and closer, watching a movie and drinking afternoon tea together, she finally murmured, "You guys..."
"Is it possible that Master, after designing and designing, he finally moved in like this?"
The noisy room suddenly fell silent: "..."
Such cases are not uncommon.
But although everyone was joking, they hadn't really thought about it until they were asked this question, and then they thought about it carefully again.
Soon they looked at each other in confusion.
They nodded in unison: "I think it's okay!"
…
With this expectation, the attitudes of several people towards "this marriage" quickly changed from superficial speculation to enthusiasm, and they became more and more excited as they talked about it.
The girls are concerned about how far Shi Shu will go before confessing his feelings, while the boys have already started to imagine whether they will have the chance to be his best man.
Only Yue Jia retained a little of the vigilance that a slacker should have. She kept an eye on the dynamics of the conference room and stood up the moment the door opened.
He interrupted everyone with a warning: "Master, Captain Shi, you're done talking!"
Several people suddenly fell silent!
One after another, they tumbled and crawled to their feet, office chairs banging against each other, and the scene was in chaos: "Team Shi, Team Shi! We're ready to leave now—"
The first person I saw when I looked up was Su Tu.
I don’t know if it’s because I just had two desserts, but my body secreted a little more dopamine, which was reflected on my face as an unusual blush.
It is particularly obvious against the backdrop of pale and fair skin.
She half lowered her head, took two steps out in a muffled voice, and then stopped where she was with a little uneasiness, waiting for the person behind her who had no sense of being a guest to open and close the door for her, and then slowly walk to her side.
Then he passively said again: "...Thank you."
Even though she had already gotten so excited about "getting married on the spot", Tao Qingqing was still shocked by this natural and everyday scene, "That, that..."
"It's raining heavily outside, won't you stay a little longer?"
"Yeah yeah!"
Zhao Xuan agreed deeply: "It's easy to catch a cold today. If you are sick, you should take medicine. Anyway, there are no other customers this afternoon. Why don't you wait until the rain subsides before leaving?"
Shi Shu was unmoved: "I won't bother you anymore."
Zhao Xuan was stunned: "..."
Tang Mo quickly tried to smooth things over: "Hey, maybe the human team still has things to do. Do you think they are as free as you?"
"That's right." Zhao Xuan scratched his head. "Then, whenever you're free and want to take a look at the plan, feel free to come over!"
Tao Qingqing echoed: "Yes, we welcome you anytime!"
"Um."
Shi Shu nodded and responded calmly: "See you next time."
Amidst the farewell calls, he looked to his side as if no one was around, his eyes deep, and said to himself, "I'm leaving."
Su Tu: “…”
