Qiao Ran, slipping on his slippers, opened the door and was stunned when he saw Pei Yan. "Captain? What's going on?"
"You...just sleep like this?"
Pei Yan had no intention of prying into Qiao Ran's privacy. It was just that Qiao Ran's messed-up suitcase was left open in the open space of the room.
Qiao Ran followed Pei Yan's gaze and looked back.
"Ah..." She quickly stretched her legs and kicked the trunk lid closed.
"Well...it's too late. I wanted to take pictures tomorrow and go to bed early...I'll pack up when I have time..." Qiao Ran scratched his head embarrassedly.
"This is for you. Try applying it so you don't have dark circles under your eyes when taking photos tomorrow." Pei Yan stuffed the thing into Qiao Ran's hand, looking a little uncomfortable.
Qiao Ran looked at the facial mask and eye patches in his hand and blurted out, "Captain? Where did you get these?"
Aren't these for girls?
Before she came, this base was full of men. Who would use these?
Could it be that Pei Yan pays so much attention to maintenance in private?
Qiao Ran's gaze involuntarily fell on Pei Yan.
Pei Yan sensed something and said, "Take back that weird look of yours. Sun Kai had someone buy this for his girlfriend. But she had a skin allergy at the time and couldn't use anything, so the gift never came."
“Ah…I see…”
So... how long has this thing been around? Is it still usable?
Qiao Ran turned over the package and looked carefully at the notes on it, trying to find the production date and shelf life.
Who knew that this would be interpreted differently in Pei Yan's eyes.
"You should know how to use these things, right?"
"Hmm?" Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment, "I know."
Although Qiao Ran has never used these, this is common sense, right? Who wouldn't know how to use them?
"It's okay as long as you know how to use it. Remember to use it. I'm leaving now." It was really inappropriate to stand outside the girls' room in the middle of the night.
"Good night, Captain. Thank you..." Qiao Ran looked at the things in his hand, and a warm feeling came over his heart. "Please say thank you to Brother Kai and me as well."
——
The next day, Qiao Ran was woken up by the alarm clock he set.
She used the facial mask and eye patches that Pei Yan sent her, but she felt no big difference from usual.
Qiao Ran looked in the mirror and touched his face, trying to find a hint of difference from usual.
But... unfortunately...
So, why do other girls like to post these things? It's a complete waste of time!
?If it weren’t for this post, she would have been able to go to bed half an hour earlier last night. Isn’t that great?
No longer brooding over these things, Qiao Ran tied her hair into a ponytail, changed into a black T-shirt, and tucked the front of the shirt into the waistband of her jeans, making her waist, which was already so thin that it could be held in one hand, appear even slimmer.
Downstairs, Jiang Wenzhou got up earlier than everyone else because he had to accompany Qiao Ran to the shoot. He was now sitting at the dining table drinking a cup of coffee.
"Manager Jiang, good morning." Qiao Ran began to learn to take the initiative to say hello.
"Good morning, you look good." Jiang Wenzhou called Qiao Ran to have breakfast. "Auntie has prepared buns, sandwiches, fried eggs, porridge, milk, coffee, and soy milk. Take whatever you want."
“There are so many kinds…”
In the past, Qiao Ran would not eat if he overslept at home. Even if he ate, he would just buy some fried dough sticks or sesame cakes downstairs and eat them with plain water when he got home.
This is the first time I have seen such a rich breakfast in the morning.
"Well, it's hard to please everyone. They're all just like our ancestors, so hard to please." Jiang Wenzhou tore at the toast in his hand. "So, I can only trouble Auntie to take the trouble and make some more dishes."
"They have such picky tastes, isn't it because you spoiled them?" Pei Yan walked down from upstairs with his hands in his pockets. Coincidentally, he was also wearing a black T-shirt. If you didn't look closely at the details, you would think he and Qiao Ran were wearing couple outfits.
"I'm destined to be a housewife. I don't have any good things, but I'm the one who spoils all the bad things." Jiang Wenzhou glanced at the phone on the table, probably to check the time. "What are you doing up so early today?"
"Aren't you guys going to take promotional photos?" Pei Yan poured himself a glass of milk.
"You won't? Are you going with us?" Jiang Wenzhou was a little surprised. "Why are you going with us if you don't want to focus on their training? We're just taking some promotional photos, not joining in a fight."
"There are coaches watching over the training, and I'm not a coach."
Qiao Ran lowered his head and drank his porridge silently, unable to say a word.
While listening to the conversation between Jiang Wenzhou and Pei Yan, she smacked her tasteless lips and thought, "It would be perfect if I had a bottle of Lao Gan Ma."
"No, are you so worried about me doing things? If I take such a big living person like her out, will you lose her or something?" Jiang Wenzhou looked at Pei Yan with suspicion.
This is not normal. Even if Pei Yan is only looking at the new assistant, isn't he taking it too seriously?
This was definitely not something the Pei Yan he knew would do...
"The club made this decision entirely out of necessity. Do you think they really accepted this support? Do you expect them to take good photos of you in this situation?" Pei Yan's eyes were deep and he spoke slowly.
He pointed at the silent Qiao Ran beside him and said, "Besides playing games, she can't even say a word when beaten to a stranger. Do you expect her to fight for your own interests?"
"You'll help her, but you're just a manager and you don't pose any threat to the club. Why would the higher-ups buy into your ideas?"
Jiang Wenzhou choked and suddenly had nothing to say.
Compared to players like Pei Yan who can play and create value for the club, he, as a manager, can indeed be replaced at any time in the eyes of the top management.
"Now that you've said that, what else can I say? Just go."
——
After breakfast, the driver had already stopped at the gate of the base.
Jiang Wenzhou consciously sat in the passenger seat, leaving the back seat to Pei Yan and Qiao Ran.
Qiao Ran sat in the car, leaning against the side door, keeping a distance from Pei Yan.
After she got in the car, she realized that she and Pei Yan seemed to be wearing the same clothes today. No wonder she felt that Jiang Wenzhou looked at her and Pei Yan with strange eyes from the beginning...
Pei Yan saw Qiao Ran's blatant alienation and suddenly felt a little unhappy.
This girl is really heartless. I gave up my sleep and went to support her, but she avoided me like a venomous snake?
"I just bought this dress and I'm wearing it for the first time." Pei Yan suddenly said something to Qiao Ran without any context.
"Hmm?" Qiao Ran didn't understand what Pei Yan meant.
Pei Yan said helplessly: "So, you don't have to hide so far away because you are afraid of getting your clothes dirty. Besides, this is a business car with plenty of space. Even if my clothes are dirty, I won't be able to touch you if you sit upright."
"Pfft!" Jiang Wenzhou in the front row couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Pei Yan stretched out his leg and kicked the front seat. "Stop that. Also, take away that weird look."
"My eyes are naturally like this. If you have the guts, go ahead and dig my eyeballs out." Jiang Wenzhou didn't care about Pei Yan's warning at all.
Listening to the two people arguing with each other, Qiao Ran became less nervous and sat up straight.
——
The photo was taken in a studio in an office building in the city center. The studio has its own photo studio, and many of the team's promotional pictures come from this studio.
When Qiao Ran and the others arrived, there happened to be people filming inside, so they needed to wait.
"Don't just wait around. Your makeup artist should be free. Start doing your makeup first," Jiang Wenzhou arranged.
After all, Pei Yan and Qiao Ran's time is precious and should not be wasted waiting in vain.
The makeup artist rolled her eyes, glanced at Qiao Ran, and said in a light tone: "Come with me."
Not afraid of being laughed at by others, this is the first time in Qiao Ran's life that she has put on makeup and taken photos in a studio.
From the moment the makeup artist started applying foundation on her, she felt uncomfortable and even sneezed several times in a row.
When it comes to applying eyeliner, it is even more difficult to adapt, and my eyelids are itchy and I keep blinking.
"Can you please stop moving? How can I paint you like this?" The makeup artist stopped writing eyeliner.
The author has something to say:
Qiao Ran: Isn’t putting on makeup really a form of torture?
