Chapter 451: Stunning Lead Singer & Cool Guy Rapper 36
If Jin Chen's red is an aggressive intrusion, then Yu Jinzhou's white is the indifference that treats the world as nothing.
He lowered his eyes quietly, letting the makeup artist lightly sweep his cheeks; because he hadn't noticed Jin Chen approaching, his face showed no expression, and the soft warmth between his brows and eyes was stiffened a bit by the white on his lashes, making him look delicate and pretty.
Like a prince stepping out of a snowy land, because he doesn't belong to this world, he exudes a strong chill, utterly out of place amid the makeup room's clamor.
Jin Chen didn't speak to disturb him, merely standing there admiring, the love in his eyes intense enough to almost overflow.
Like an artist admiring his muse.
He remained silent, and the makeup artist didn't dare remind Yu Jinzhou until the makeup was finished.
"All done." The makeup artist gestured for Yu Jinzhou to lift his head and look at the mirror.
With such a beautiful makeup, he should like it, right?
The makeup artist thought so, but as Yu Jinzhou lifted his eyes, his peripheral vision caught Jin Chen's figure, instantly changing his intended motion of looking at the mirror—he turned his head to look instead.
The moment his lips curled, it was as if ice and snow melted.
"You look completely different from usual."
Yu Jinzhou felt surprised, reached out his hand; Jin Chen also curled his lips, walked a few steps closer and took his hand—one standing, one sitting, they gazed at each other, each seeing astonishment in the other's eyes.
"In what way different? Does it look good?" Jin Chen asked gently.
Yu Jinzhou nodded.
He rarely… or rather, had never seen Jin Chen like this before.
Unlike his usual cool and aloof demeanor, this makeup concealed the youthful air still belonging to a nineteen-year-old, allowing wildness and dominance to burst forth.
It even inexplicably carried a hint of wicked, otherworldly charm.
"Your aura is quite different now, truly beautiful." He didn't hide his praise, his almond eyes sparkling; the earlier indifference had vanished, and now he looked more like a snowland elf.
Because he was being pampered, he had no worries.
"What about me? Wouldn't I look a bit strange, since I haven't seen it yet?"
Although he said that, Yu Jinzhou had no intention of turning to look at the mirror; it seemed that Jin Chen's answer at this moment was his sole standard of judgment.
Jin Chen's fingertips brushed aside the hair that had fallen from his styling, making his clean brows and eyes even more delicate.
"Right now, Zhouzhou is like a winter snowflake elf."
"An elf?"
Yu Jinzhou tilted his head slightly, recalling that the plan required his makeup to represent the icy side in white—how could it resemble an elf?
Curiosity drove him to turn his head; looking at himself in the mirror, he simply couldn't associate the word "elf" with what he saw.
Probably Chen'er was just throwing around adjectives again.
He thought that, yet failed to notice even a bit that the expression and gaze he would have in front of Jin Chen, whose brightness could not be concealed, were completely different from usual.
"Makeup's done! Let me see yours!"
Song Xing came over from the other side, tilted his head to look at Jin Chen and Yu Jinzhou, and exclaimed loudly, "Wow… you two are simply meant to be!"
Yu Jinzhou immediately widened his eyes to look over, and Jin Chen was also somewhat surprised.
He belatedly realized what he had said, hastily covered his mouth, and the eyeball with icy-blue contacts stared round and wide.
However, everyone in the makeup room had already heard it.
Wen Yu's mouth twitched, and he silently rubbed his forehead.
One day he'll grab some glue and seal that leaky mouth!
Several staff members simultaneously took a deep breath, feeling they had learned some major secret.
Ren Pingsheng laughed and coughed once, helping to prop up the precariously wobbling cabinet door.
"You're still going on about it? Since you're both in white tones, don't you and Jinzhou look more like a pair?"
Yu Jinzhou also went along, saying, "All right, don't talk nonsense—if we follow your logic, then Chen'er and Shengsheng would look like a bking duo."
What a chaotic CP mash‑up.
Jin Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, not interrupting his wife's nonsense.
"Ah yes yes yes, I just meant the makeup matches, hehehe…"
Song Xing gave an awkward laugh, wishing he could find a crack to crawl into.
"Everyone's done with makeup, right? Over here let's change your clothes."
The stylist hurried out to smooth things over; even if they noticed something, they still had to cooperate.
Otherwise, if something leaked, they'd be the first suspects.
"Change clothes!" Song Xing ran toward the fitting room without looking back.
——
By the time they officially arrived at the shooting site half an hour later, the stylist and makeup artist had ensured that everyone's makeup for Valuri was flawless before letting them leave the lounge.
But outside, models were already shooting.
This magazine is a double‑issue series, each issue using a different person for the cover; those three professional models are the guests for the other cover.
"They three are Chinese models who were invited to the international model show last quarter, have some fame, and consider themselves already top‑tier domestic models."
Xite explained to the five kids, then reminded, "Try not to start a conflict with them, okay?"
Logically, a double‑issue cover would normally have two photography teams.
But Valuri waited a few minutes on the set, and no other photography crew appeared.
While the models were resting, a photographer approached, his tone somewhat inexplicably arrogant.
"You're the invited traffic‑driven boy band for this shoot, right?"
"Aren't you the photographer responsible for us? Then where's the other team?"
Seeing his attitude, Wen Yu immediately realized this wasn't the person.
The photographer specified in the plan had given opinions that were spot‑on, with no hint of looking down on them in his wording—completely unlike this person.
I won't be doing any livestreams; things are already at their maximum.
That photographer snorted and turned his head, saying, "The magazine didn't even say who would be shooting you; I guess it's just some unknown small-time photographer—only someone like that could put up with you lot chasing clout."
He muttered, "You're not bad-looking, but a top magazine cover isn't just about looks; at a glance you have no presence."
Saying that, the mocking tone became all too obvious.
Just now, the one who said not to start a conflict was Xite, but he was the first to talk back.
You haven't even eaten the dish, yet you already know it's not fresh—who wouldn't say it's because the wild boar can't eat fine grain?
His tone was unfriendly as he looked at the staff present and said, "Where is the person in charge of your magazine? Is this how you treat invited guests?"
Or do you think there's no need to work with New Beauty Music anymore?
That accusation is impossible to deflect, and the photographer panicked instantly, saying, "You guys really? I just said a few words—who said they don't want to work with you anymore?"
Even in his tone, he still felt they were being unreasonable.
The three models also walked over, seeming rather accusatory.
You got the chance to be featured, how can you still have this attitude?
"None of your business." Jin Chen raised his brows, his tone fierce.
Looks like there's no photographer today?
Wait, just a few minutes late—don't get angry.
A slightly playful female voice took up Jin Chen's words, and at the same time the photography studio's Main Gate was opened.
