Chapter 118: Wu Yue'er's Part-time Modeling Job
Yuan Mingqing said to look at the class group chat, someone uploaded pictures of Wu Yue'er to Taobao, it might be stolen photos. Tang Song swiped his phone screen; several pictures in a row were of Wu Yue'er wearing a down jacket, yet no traces of photo editing could be seen.
So he said: "Make a call and ask, maybe the shop owner is a friend of Wu Yue'er and invited her to be a model."
Shen Yan and Hao Anqi exchanged a glance, both remaining silent.
Yuan Mingqing thought that was indeed possible and was just about to dial the number when he saw the person in question suddenly speak up in the class group chat.
Wu Yue'er: "I work as a part-time model in my spare time, I get paid to do the job."
The words were concise and clear, with no further explanation given.
The classmates were all relieved; this explanation was reasonable and logical.
Zhu Baoping posted: "Beauty Wu's conditions are so outstanding in every way, being a model is more than enough."
Luo Qiqi: "I heard a model's income is very high, Yue'er is so amazing."
Pang Weijie: "God-given talent, can't be envied."
All classmates: "Crying!"
The gap in innate factors is too large, there isn't even a place to reason about it.
Lin Yang suddenly realized that Wu Yue'er had skipped class and been absent several times; it turned out she had gone to work part-time to earn money. It seemed that from beginning to end, he had never truly tried to understand Wu Yue'er, only thinking she was very beautiful and very special; in the end, it was nothing more than being attracted by her looks.
Heh! With this pathetic state, what right did he have to say he liked Wu Yue'er.
Building 9, girls' dormitory, Yu Youwei stared blankly at the computer screen, at the charming and vivid pictures of Wu Yue'er, and the few large characters in the bottom left corner.
Yancheng Clothing.
Yu Youwei fell into deep thought.
Yu Youwei was all too familiar with this shop name; during the summer vacation, she had earned her first pot of gold in life from here, and that sense of fulfillment made her feel like she had grown up.
Shen Yan, Wu Yue'er, Shen Yan's cousin, Yancheng Clothing; it seemed she had overlooked many small details.
The more she thought about it, the more it felt off, so Yu Youwei ran to the window at the edge of the dormitory corridor and dialed the phone.
Ten o'clock at night, the night was like water, the bustling city became empty and quiet, there were few shadows on the road, and apart from the honking of cars and the swaying of tree branches, the surroundings were silent.
Looking at the lines of text in the class group chat, Tang Song asked: "Xiao Qing, you've been roommates with Wu Yue'er for so long, you didn't even know she was working as a part-time model?"
Yuan Mingqing shook her head, "I've never heard her mention it, maybe she only started after moving out, Shanni must know."
Neither of them delved into it; it wasn't a big deal, and there was more envy than anything else. Just thinking about it, one knew how popular a high-quality model like Wu Yue'er would be.
She must have made a lot of money!
Shen Yan's expression remained calm; after all, Wu Yue'er wasn't a blabbermouth, and if she said she would keep it a secret, she definitely wouldn't let it slip.
Just keep making a fortune in silence, that's the right way.
Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the gate of Hangzhou University. After saying goodbye to Tang Song and the other, Shen Yan didn't mention taking Hao Anqi back to school, but instead headed straight for the Danqingyuan Residential Complex.
Hao Anqi pinched the corner of her clothes and said nothing, implicitly agreeing, and used her phone to send a message to her roommate that she wouldn't be going back to stay the night.
Wen Xiaoyan: "The beauty couldn't escape the devil's clutches after all, remember to take safety precautions."
Hao Anqi's face turned slightly red, she couldn't respond to that at all, so she simply ignored it.
At this time of night, the Danqingyuan Residential Complex was brightly lit, with high-rise buildings standing tall like giants on the earth. And the faint light shining from the windows of every household was like scattered stars, dotting this bustling city night scene.
On the residential walkway, scattered figures strolled along. After parking the car, Shen Yan grabbed Hao Anqi's soft hand and hurried toward home. Hao Anqi's heart was pounding, almost jumping out of her throat, but she still followed along obediently.
Invisibly, an aura of hormonal restlessness erupted from the two of them.
Back home and having locked the door, Shen Yan propped one hand against the wall, directly staging a "wall-pin" scene, his gaze almost able to pull out silk.
This girl, he had wanted to touch her for a long time.
Hao Anqi didn't know if she was acting or if it was an instinctive reaction, but her eyes began to drift, her pink small-fragrance style jacket pressed tightly against the wall, her small hands nervously pinching the hem of her black wool skirt, and her jade legs wrapped in leggings trembled slightly, as if they were about to give way.
Without much talk, Shen Yan reached out and tucked Hao Anqi's loose hair behind her ears, leaning his body slightly forward. Hao Anqi turned her head to avoid him, and Shen Yan said: "Qiqi, I think you should go to the Drama Academy, all kinds of micro-expressions are particularly on point."
"The entertainment industry is missing someone like you who combines beauty and talent, just like the night sky missing a brilliant star, appearing dim and lackluster."
Hao Anqi smiled sweetly, "Then are you feeling full of conquest right now?"
"Couldn't be more so, I just want to rub you, this little demon, into my bones right now."
The words "little demon" made Hao Anqi feel numb all over.
However, facing Shen Yan's renewed attack, Hao Anqi was hooked on playing along; like a slippery loach, she drilled directly out from under his armpit.
Saying: "I've been sweating a lot after a whole day of tossing and turning, I'm going to take a shower first."
Heh! As if the duck already in his mouth could fly away.
Shen Yan didn't stop her, letting her slip into the master bedroom, while he leaned lazily on the sofa, propped his feet on the coffee table, and happily scrolled through his phone.
Suddenly, his expression tightened.
The top message was from Yu Youwei, sent five minutes ago.
"Pi Yan, it was you who invited Yue'er to be a model, right? Regarding that online shop Yancheng Clothing, do you have anything you want to tell me?"
Did this girl guess it!
Shen Yan typed: "I am indeed the one running the online shop."
Yu Youwei: "Why didn't you tell me? Aren't we best friends? I even helped you during the summer vacation."
Shen Yan: "In your eyes, I was just a greenhorn who didn't know anything back then. If I had suddenly told you I could run an online shop well, would you have believed me?"
Yu Youwei hesitated slightly: "I would have believed you, and you could have explained it clearly to me later."
Shen Yan: "That's not important, it feels like there's no difference whether I said it or not."
Yu Youwei felt bitter in her heart; how could there be no difference? If she had known earlier that Shen Yan was so capable, perhaps she would have fallen for Shen Yan sooner, and there would be no room for Hao Anqi.
The two grew up together; when Shen Yan was called a wild child by others when he was young, with no father or mother, it was she who stood up for him.
She was Shen Yan's only good friend; that kind of bond could not be easily replaced.
Perhaps this is heaven's punishment.
The Shen Yan of the past, she did not cherish; the Shen Yan of the present, she cannot reach.
Yet Yu Youwei did not think she was wrong; back then, she was single-minded and devoted only to reading the books of sages, while Shen Yan was unremarkable, and she, Yu Youwei, was a proud daughter of heaven, beautiful and sweet-voiced, outstanding in every aspect!
Wasn't it perfectly normal that she hadn't taken a fancy to Shen Yan?
What fault is there in a woman admiring the strong?
Now that Shen Yan has transformed into someone so exceptional, what is wrong with feeling affection for such an outstanding man?
In any case, she, Yu Youwei, is determined to have this man!
