Chapter 353

The yacht docked at the sea pier, and a dozen young people got off the yacht and returned to the shore along the wooden bridge.

"What a big and handsome boat!" Wen Xia looked at the luxurious yacht floating in the waves in the distance and said enviously.

Lin Yizhu took a few looks and said: "That's a Russian-made Supreme-class luxury yacht, 36 meters long, capable of accommodating over 40 people, and the price is around 220 million US dollars."

Wen Xia was shocked: "You know that clearly?"

Lin Yizhu explained: "My dad also has one in the Philippines, but it's mostly my brother who takes it out to play. I haven't been on it many times myself... Yachts are standard equipment for the rich. The Class Monitor's dad should have one too, right?"

Miss Luo Quan remembered the bragging her old man did, saying that besides an aircraft carrier, he could get any boat, so a yacht was a piece of cake.

"I haven't seen it, but there should be one."

Wen Xia sighed: "This is the life of the rich, a ride worth over 200 million dollars... Eh, that person looks a bit familiar."

"Which person?" Miss Luo Quan kept her head down, continuing to apply sunscreen seriously.

Wen Xia sat up from the beach chair and pointed her hand in the direction of the group of young people: "Look, is that the Crown Prince Jinggong who was chasing you in Japan before?"

Miss Luo Quan frowned and looked over, seeing an East Asian handsome guy standing among a group of blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, opening a bottle of champagne and drinking it down.

"It really is him... How do you have such good eyesight to recognize him at a glance?" Miss Luo Quan looked at Wen Xia suspiciously.

Wen Xia shrugged innocently: "He's so handsome, so I took a few extra looks."

"Boring." Miss Luo Quan curled her lips, putting on the sunglasses and sun hat on the table.

Wen Xia had a mischievous smile: "Seeing an acquaintance, not going up to say hello?"

Miss Luo Quan continued applying sunscreen: "They are out traveling with friends, why should I rashly go up and say hello? Just play our own game."

While they were talking, another yacht sailed over from the sea, but this yacht was far too shabby compared to the previous one—less than 10 meters long, with an old-fashioned style, and some rust and scratches could be seen on the outside of the hull.

Especially when it stopped next to the Supreme yacht, it formed an incredibly sharp contrast.

"Damn, whose yacht is so luxurious." Seifert hooked the anchor onto the metal bar of the pier, then jumped onto the wooden bridge.

"Why care about that? Hurry ashore to find water, my throat is about to smoke!" Gao Liang couldn't wait to get ashore, his eyes already aimed at the shop on the beach.

"Another acquaintance." Wen Xia saw Gao Liang rushing into the shop like a puff of smoke, feeling that there would be a good show to watch today.

Seeing her younger brother, Miss Luo Quan couldn't sit still: "Why are the three of them here too?"

It wasn't just Gao Liang; Seifert and Fred were following behind. Although they were wearing sunglasses, Miss Luo Quan still recognized them.

Wen Xia grinned: "You still want to keep sitting?"

"You don't have to tell me!" Miss Luo Quan muttered, then put on a white shirt as thin as a cicada's wing and walked toward the shop.

"Ah~~~ comfortable." Gao Liang took a big gulp of coconut juice, feeling his whole spirit refreshed.

"Why don't we just call your sister later? The excuse of a chance encounter doesn't seem like it can fool her." Fred suggested to the other two.

"Let's talk about it later, let me drink my fill first." Busy all morning, Seifert himself was a bit tired.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind the three of them:

"What a coincidence, are you guys here for vacation?"

"Pfft!"

Hearing this voice, Seifert sprayed out all the coconut juice he had in his mouth before he could swallow it.

Turning his head to look, Miss Luo Quan was hugging her chest, looking at them with a half-smile.

"Oh my, isn't this Miss Luo Quan? I didn't expect to meet you here. You look truly breathtakingly beautiful in a swimsuit!" Seifert's expression was incredibly exaggerated, and his words of praise were as nauseating as ever.

Miss Luo Quan sarcastically retorted: "Your acting isn't good at all. Learn more from my brother; don't make your expressions so exaggerated."

After she finished speaking, the three of them were instantly embarrassed.

"Haha, sister, we just happened to be vacationing in the Maldives, and just happened to see your post saying you came too, so we wanted to come over and give you a surprise." Gao Liang saw that he couldn't hide it, so he had to bite the bullet and tell half a lie.

Miss Luo Quan knew clearly in her heart that what her brother said was mostly not the truth, at least not entirely.

However, there was no need to point out such things, and she didn't need to be so petty. Her expression softened slightly: "You three came out for vacation in such a broken boat? Can that thing pick up girls on the beach?"

Seifert wasn't happy when he heard this, pulling at his plaid shirt: "Picking up girls, the most important thing is the technique; the tool is only secondary. Don't look at how handsome your brother is; when it comes to being liked by girls, he can't even compare to my little toe."

Gao Liang rolled his eyes speechlessly, turning his back to indicate he didn't want to hear his arrogant friend continue to brag.

"It's Gao Liang, ah ah ah————"

Screams came from not far away. It turned out that the female tourists on the beach had recognized Gao Liang and ran over while screaming.

As the sound of "Gao Liang" grew louder, the attention of the entire beach was attracted to the shop side.

As an idol who has swept the world's women, the number and fanaticism of Gao Liang's fans far exceed his sister's.

Most male star-chasing is relatively rational, while female star-chasing basically has no rationality to speak of. After Gao Liang appeared, the girls who noticed him basically all ran over.

Fortunately, there were only about a hundred people scattered on the beach, and only about twenty young girls. Excluding the dozen or so from Miss Luo Quan's group, only twelve or thirteen girls ran over.

After taking photos with these girls who were so excited they were about to cry, Gao Liang, Miss Luo Quan, and the others left the shop and walked toward Wen Xia's side.

"Hey, I wonder if those girls who just took photos with me noticed your anxious toes?" Gao Liang patted Seifert on the shoulder, winking and being sarcastic.

Seifert was righteous: "Heh, my identity now is manager, how can I steal your spotlight?"

Miss Luo Quan finally couldn't hold it back: "Stop bragging, the most important thing in chasing girls is the face. Gao Liang doesn't even need to speak and a large group of girls will still surround him. Can your mouth really pick up a dozen girls at once?"

"Superficial!" Seifert was annoyed and ashamed, indicating he didn't want to continue arguing with this sister and brother who liked to be sarcastic.

"Oh, isn't this Teacher Gao Liang!" Junzi and the others came back from playing volleyball and saw Gao Liang. Before they could catch their breath, they jumped over and surrounded him.

Seifert saw that they were acquaintances, but none of them paid attention to him, all surrounding Gao Liang and chattering. He instantly felt like he was having a heart attack.

"My luck is bad today!" Seifert felt Miss Luo Quan's sarcastic gaze and explained.

But this explanation seemed so weak and powerless.

"Alright, I won't laugh at you anymore, I'm going to take photos." Miss Luo Quan said, walking toward Wang Lan, "Senior, let's get to work."

"I've been waiting for those words." Wang Lan and Li Yuan immediately stood up, picking up all the equipment that had been debugged long ago.

The three of them gradually moved away from the crowd, and Miss Luo Quan took the opportunity to ask: "Senior, this is my first time taking swimsuit photos, are there any requirements?"

Talking about her profession, Wang Lan, who had been silent and taciturn before, clearly became more talkative: "There's a lot to say, and there's little to say. First, you must clarify the audience for this set of photos and the theme you want to express.

First, swimsuit photos cannot avoid being revealing, but they aren't as naked and direct as body photos. They emphasize more of a hazy beauty like 'half-hidden behind a pipa'."

Miss Luo Quan nodded: "Understood, it's 'wanting to reveal but still covering,' right?"

"That's it." Wang Lan expressed agreement with Miss Luo Quan's understanding.

Miss Luo Quan lowered her head and thought: "The theme isn't clear yet, but as for the audience, it's these fans at home and abroad. But the scale shouldn't be too large, or it's easy for domestic media to gossip."

Wang Lan understood Miss Luo Quan's concerns and comforted her: "You don't need to feel embarrassed or worry about anything. Whether at home or abroad, swimsuit photos actually no longer count as large-scale photos.

Because even swimsuit photos can still be shot in a youthful and sunny style, as long as there are no elements of sexual suggestion in them. If shot well, they can also be artistic.

The key still lies in the model's expression and body language. The eyes must be clear, and the movements must be natural and brave. They cannot have the slightest bit of blurriness, otherwise, it's easy to have the opposite effect.

Swimsuit photos, 'color' is the foundation, but to be 'colorful but not lewd,' it requires the model and photographer to have the same goal and work together."

Miss Luo Quan took a deep breath: "Senior, you are the professional. You have any instructions, I'll just do as you say."

Wang Lan smiled: "That's for sure. I will do my best to take the best photos.

First, you have to open yourself up."

Just with the first requirement, Miss Luo Quan was dumbfounded.

"Open up?" Miss Luo Quan said in a dilemma: "There are so many people on the beach..."

"That's not what I meant." Wang Lan knew Miss Luo Quan had misunderstood and hurriedly explained: "I mean open your heart. Although you are on the beach in a swimsuit, subconsciously you still have some resistance and restraint, perhaps you aren't aware of it yourself.

What you need to do now is to make all your movements natural, let this beach become your bedroom. Would you feel embarrassed in your bedroom because you are only wearing a swimsuit?"

"Understood." Miss Luo Quan opened her clenched palms, opening her inner defenses bit by bit.

Wang Lan continued to work on her mindset: "Also, don't care about other people's gazes. You are the most beautiful in the world. All the gazes gathered on you, whether appreciative or greedy, are the greatest reward for you.

In music, your talent is your greatest wealth.

And in photos, your appearance and figure are your greatest wealth. Currently, no one can compare to you, so your confidence should be from the inside out.

You have conquered the world once with musical notes; now, you need to conquer the world again with your every smile!"

Miss Luo Quan laughed: "Senior, your eloquence is so good. Did you minor in debate in college?"

"I minored in psychology, but working in this industry, you always encounter newcomers. If they get shy, sometimes you have to moonlight as a chicken soup for the soul teacher.

However, your conditions are something those newcomers can't compare to. You must be confident, and you should be confident. In the whole world, no girl has more capital than you!"

After listening to the senior's very spirited encouragement, Miss Luo Quan felt her body and mind were indeed much more relaxed.

Seeing that Miss Luo Quan seemed to have entered the state, Wang Lan began the next step: "Next, it's time to give this set of photos a name."

This was to set a main tone for the entire set of photos, and the general direction of the subsequent shooting would also be determined.

Suddenly asking her to take a serious name, to be honest, Miss Luo Quan had never thought about it, because she actually hadn't treated this swimsuit photo shoot as a serious work, just thinking about taking a few good-looking ones to give benefits to the fans.

However, after listening to Wang Lan's words and knowing that swimsuit photos could also be shot as artistic works, her heart began to liven up.

Since it was an artistic work, the naming couldn't be so perfunctory. Originally, Miss Luo Quan had thought about calling it "Seven-Day Tour of the Maldives," but now...

"How about 'Aphrodite by the Sea'?" Miss Luo Quan quickly came up with a name, inspired by a famous piano piece she had heard before, "Adeline by the Water."

Compared to Adeline, Aphrodite, as the Greek goddess of love and beauty, was undoubtedly a cut above.

Just now Wang Lan had praised her so highly, so at this moment her mood was a bit floating, and her naming vocabulary was much bolder.

"Would it be a bit too arrogant?" Miss Luo Quan scratched her head and asked.

"Good name!" Wang Lan and her apprentice Li Yuan both had their eyes light up: "No one is more suitable for this name than you!"

"Then it's settled." Miss Luo Quan smiled and made the decision.

Actually, she was also drumming in her heart. Although Aphrodite was the goddess of love and beauty, the supreme existence of beauty and charm in Greek mythology, she also didn't just govern love and beauty, and was naturally romantic and dissolute, with a bad reputation.

But well, these Greek gods were actually not much different; there weren't many serious deities, and ordinary people wouldn't go to delve into all the characteristics of Aphrodite. They only needed to know that her most representative characteristic was perfection.

"Alright, let's start shooting." Wang Lan opened the lens cap of the mirrorless camera, "Next, you need to pose in many movements. Don't feel embarrassed or anything, just listen to my instructions... First, walk into the seawater, just enough to submerge your ankles."

Miss Luo Quan walked a few steps into the turquoise seawater. The cool seawater gently slapped her instep, and the sea breeze lifted her golden hair, fluttering wantonly in the air.

Following Wang Lan's direction, Miss Luo Quan stood sideways to the camera, looking into the distance with a smile, her hands on the back of her head, elbows forward, her cheeks covered by her arms, leaving only half a face to the camera.

The golden sunlight was scattered over Miss Luo Quan's flawless white body, and her raised arms made her proud parts stand high.

Everything was so beautiful and natural.
