Chapter 47 Protecting Her
Jin Siyang's jaw was tense, with a hint of unrest rolling in his eyes. The nude photo of him when he was one year old was taken at the instigation of his grandparents. At that time, he even made a stupid "yeah" gesture to the camera.
The two looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Cen Nian shoved the photo into the album with a grin, and said a little sheepishly, "What a coincidence! But when you were a kid, you were quite...quite cute."
"Cen, Nian." Jin Siyang almost gritted his teeth and called her name.
"Hmm?" Cen Nian replied doubtfully, "It's okay, I'll pretend I didn't see it, you don't have to be shy."
Jin Siyang took a deep breath, opened his lips, said nothing, then turned around and went upstairs, still holding the photo of his 'childhood sweethearts' in his hand.
Sure enough, she was angry because she saw the photo of him and Cheng Yiwen, but she didn't mean it... Besides, is Jin Siyang so possessive that he doesn't even allow others to see their photo.
Cen Nian sat on the sofa, feeling a little depressed, and even lost the passion to flip through the photo album.
Finally, I drank the milk given by Aunt Liu, turned around and went upstairs to my room.
Cen Nian chose to give himself a reward this weekend. He turned off the alarm clock and slept in.
It was almost ten o'clock when she woke up. She washed and dressed, preparing to go downstairs for breakfast and then continue studying. Just as she made her plan, there was a knock on the door.
“Dongdong——”
"Here I come!" Cen Nian thought it was Aunt Liu, and opened the door with a smile, only to find an iceberg standing at the door.
Jin Siyang wore a black hooded sweatshirt and casual sports pants. The all-black outfit gave him a cool and cool vibe, but he still looked cold.
"Jin Siyang, good morning!"
Jin Siyang lowered his eyes and glanced at his watch: "Yeah, it's quite early."
“…”
He asked again, "Have you had breakfast?"
"No! I was just about to eat. Have you eaten yet?"
"No."
"Then we can eat together."
Jin Siyang glanced at her calmly and didn't refuse: "Let's go out after eating."
Cen Nian was surprised: "Where are you going?"
"Aunt Liu asked me to take you to take pictures." Jin Siyang said with a helpless tone.
"Isn't this too much trouble? There's no need to film it."
"Aunt Liu called me."
Cen Nian looked at him suspiciously. Jin Siyang touched his nose and said nothing. She felt it was a little strange. Aunt Liu asked Jin Siyang to take her to take pictures. Why did this seem more and more strange?
But she obviously couldn't figure it out, so she just nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
Cen Nian was wearing a white sweater and a skirt today. She would just put on a coat over it later. She tugged at the hem of her skirt and asked, "Do I need to change? Or do you think this outfit looks good?"
Jin Siyang was obviously stunned for several seconds. He looked at Cen Nian with an ambiguous expression. After a long while, he looked away unnaturally: "Not bad."
"Then I won't change it, that's it!"
Aunt Liu was a little surprised to see the two of them coming downstairs one after the other: "Breakfast is ready, come quickly."
Aunt Liu smiled clearly: "Are you going out later?"
Cen Nian was a little surprised. Before she could say anything, Jin Siyang said, "Well, we'll go out after breakfast."
"Okay, be safe."

Going out with Jin Siyang doesn't require worrying about traffic issues, so Cen Nian followed him as a matter of course. Jin Siyang brought her to a three-story house.
The house is modern in style, with cool and fashionable posters hanging outside, and a few words hanging above the door: Smile Photo Studio.
"This photo studio is so big, Jin Siyang, shall we take pictures here?"
"Well, you took the photo."
"I'll take the photo, what about you?"
"Are you waiting for me?"
"Um."
Jin Siyang made an appointment for the project in advance. The person in charge held a tablet and enthusiastically introduced it to Cen Nian and Jin Siyang.
"This is the most popular set in our house, perfect for couples' photos."
Cen Nian quickly said, "No, no, we are not a couple."
"Ahahahaha sorry."
"It's fine."
Cen Nian finally chose an outdoor shoot. The makeup artist gave her a sweet and light makeup and said to her with a smile: "Your clothes today are very suitable for outdoor shooting. After the makeup, we can go out and shoot directly."
Cen Nian nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help."
After Cen Nian finished putting on her makeup, she walked out. Jin Siyang was sitting on the sofa, looking very relaxed. He raised his head from his mobile phone, his eyes slightly paused.
Cen Nian was a little nervous: "No, doesn't it look good?"
Jin Siyang didn't answer directly: "Where are we going to shoot?"
The photography team stepped forward and said, "Let's go take photos at Emerald Lake Park."
The photography team chose to shoot the first group by the lake. The photographer was a boy who looked to be in his early twenties. He was dressed very coolly and wore a baseball cap. He was decisive when shooting and didn't say much.
A camera was pointed at Cen Nian, with several lighting boards clamped next to it, which looked very stylish. Cen Nian was standing in the middle and felt a little nervous.
"Start filming, strike some poses yourself."
Cen Nian gave a stiff smile, her hands hanging in front of her. She didn't know how to pose, and she became more and more nervous as she listened to the photographer's impatient clicking sounds.
The photographer was a little impatient: "Change your posture, don't keep doing this, you are the one taking the photo."
"Oh, okay."
Cen Nian really didn't know what to do, so he turned his previous smile into a toothy grin.
“…”
The photographer was completely frustrated: "Girl, you spent thousands of dollars to take pictures. Can you please pose properly? How can you get good photos if you just keep smiling stiffly?"
Cen Nian's voice became weaker: "Yes, I'm sorry."
"What's the use of saying sorry? Haven't you taken a picture before?"
Seeing this, the girl who was lighting the room nearby whispered to comfort Cen Nian, "It's okay, little girl. Just relax and be natural. This photographer is our studio's top photographer. He takes great photos, but he has a bad temper."
"Oh...but I'm not very good with poses."
She couldn't achieve the confident, bright and generous look on the poster. She could imagine some of the movements, but the thought of posing like that herself made her feel very strange.
With so many people around her, she became even more nervous.
Jin Siyang came back with two bags of coffee. The atmosphere at the scene was very cold. He put the coffee on the table and walked to Cen Nian. Hearing the photographer's scolding, Cen Nian grabbed the hem of his clothes and stood in the middle with some guilt.
"Can we shoot now? We can't call it a day. Your stiff movements are a waste of today's scenery."
As Jin Siyang approached, the atmosphere suddenly dropped, and the people around him dared not breathe. His tone did not fluctuate much, and he said slowly and calmly: "Can you take the photo? If not, get out."
The photographer didn't expect that someone would challenge him. He earned a high hourly wage, and he had taken many amazing pictures over the years. The photo studio obviously couldn't do without him, so they gave him a lot of freedom. Now that someone was talking about it in front of him, he became very angry.
“I really can’t shoot today.”
Jin Siyang nodded. He wasn't irritated by the photographer and simply stated the facts calmly, "Okay, I paid 6,000 yuan for this project. As a photographer, you provided poor service, your photography skills were average, you didn't provide guidance, and instead blamed the customer. Plus, there's a series of mental damages. Do you want cash or bank transfer?"
The photographer was so angry that he almost laughed: "My photography skills are not good? Don't you see how stiff that woman is?"
"Having the photographer direct the shoot is one of the stipulations of the contract," Jin Siyang said slowly. "I've seen your portfolio, and it's actually quite average. The company touts you as their top photographer, so it's hard not to be skeptical of your company's aesthetics."
