Chapter 75: Model
Wang Lin, on her side, naturally locked herself in her room after returning home, took off her hair tie, and looked at the heat on her face in the mirror.
Especially the snow-white area under the white JK shirt she had already changed out of in the mirror, Wang Lin unconsciously raised her hand to feel it.
She bit her lip, seemingly still able to savor the numbing feeling of touching this place just now.
It wasn't that she was really resistant, it was just that at that moment she felt she had to let the other party understand: I am not the kind of girl you can wantonly take whenever you want.
You can be rich, you can be confident, but if you don't give me a formal statement of "Let's be together," and you want to cross all safe distances, that won't do.
She put the bag on the chair, her heart was still a mess, on one hand thinking Li Yan was so reckless, should she be on guard next time she saw him.
On the other hand, she felt sweet; this was after all the first kiss of her life, although accidental, it was also a bit exciting.
When Li Yan came out of the bathroom, it was already close to one o'clock in the morning.
The room didn't have the main light on, only a small desk lamp left to emit dim light.
He was wearing dark gray loose pajamas, put the towel he had just used on the back of the chair, and walked straight to the table in the living room.
The Hasselblad X2D camera placed on the table reflected a faint metallic light in the night, and he paused for a few seconds.
He reached out to pick it up, checked the lens mount first, and then put the camera body back into the camera bag.
This camera was his main weapon for dealing with the "Shudu Humanities Theme" competition.
Li Yan temporarily ignored the hot entanglement with Wang Lin last night; although he knew in his heart that he was a bit reckless, it didn't delay him from turning his focus back to the more urgent photography task at hand.
As for the messages sent by Wang Lin on WeChat, they were still left in the corner by him.
Li Yan's attitude was very simple: reply if he wanted to, leave it alone if he didn't.
Anyway, it didn't succeed last night, so he would talk about it when he had a chance later.
After sitting down, he casually flipped through the shorthand book on the table, on which several location names were written casually with a fountain pen: Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli, Chunxi Road, Jiuyan Bridge, Eshiba, etc.
Each place had several shooting points noted behind it, such as light, time period, tourist traffic, etc.
At the very bottom, a line was drawn with a red pen: "Humanities theme needs to be combined with local clothing or models."
Li Yan whispered it once: "Liu Yifei..." Thinking of her clean temperament, beautiful appearance, and clear figure, she was indeed suitable for this kind of shooting.
If Liu Yifei were to be a model, she must be paid.
Li Yan didn't intend to give too much, because that would make the whole thing weird: he had a good impression of her, but this was after all a formal cooperative shooting, and he shouldn't use "money" to make extra shows of favor, also to avoid making her embarrassed or suspicious.
It was getting late, and tomorrow was the critical day.
After waking up, he would go to the tutoring class first to finalize the model matter, and then take the equipment to set off to scout locations.
This competition was imminent, and he couldn't delay any longer.
He wiped his face, went back to the room to turn off the light, and lay down.
The night was still quiet.
It was just that before closing his eyes, the image of Wang Lin's fiery eyes appeared in his mind again, but it was quickly replaced by Liu Yifei's calm smile.
The trip to Shudu seemed to have made him encounter too many charming girls, but the most urgent thing right now was to hurry up and complete the photography task.
Thinking of this, he turned over and tried to empty his thoughts, slowly entering a dream.
When Li Yan woke up naturally, it was almost ten o'clock.
The window in the bedroom wasn't pulled tight; he reached out to pull the quilt, kicked his slippers, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, he quickly tidied his hair in the mirror, grabbed a sun hat and hung it on his hand, and looked at his phone to find it was already 10:10.
Oh well, there was no piano lesson today, so he didn't have to rush early, but the time for the shooting task was very tight.
He reached out to grab the white T-shirt and jeans on the back of the chair, put them on quickly, stepped on sports shoes, and then brought the car key and camera bag on the table, ready to go out.
When he came to the underground garage, the black big G was waiting quietly in the corner.
As soon as he opened the car door, he put the Hasselblad X2D camera bag into the passenger seat first, sat into the driver's seat, and turned the key to start the engine.
The familiar thick roar came to his ears; he glanced at the fuel level, which was quite sufficient, so he released the handbrake, adjusted the direction, and drove out of the parking space slowly.
Today the sun was shining brightly, and the air was filled with the heat of midsummer.
Fortunately, the air conditioner in the car was working well, and the comfort level wasn't bad.
He turned on the navigation first, and the target was still the tutoring class.
On the way, Li Yan didn't listen to any music, just focused on driving.
His thoughts turned, roughly reviewing what he wanted to discuss with Liu Yifei: remuneration, time, clothing, etc.
He only listed a rough list, and would adjust it slightly depending on her needs at that time.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in the small alley next to the tutoring class.
He picked up the camera bag and thought while walking; Liu Yifei shouldn't have class at this time, right?
Pushing the door into the lobby, he was greeted by the girl at the front desk with a smile: "Morning, Li Yan." He nodded slightly and asked: "Is Yifei here?" The other party said she was tidying up things in the study room on the second floor.
Li Yan didn't talk much, and took two steps at a time up the stairs.
Li Yan knocked three times at the end of the corridor, got no response, so he leaned over and looked into the room slightly.
He saw Liu Yifei in the corner by the window, bending over to tidy up a stack of handouts, as if she didn't hear the knock.
The sunlight outside the window spilled in through the slightly old glass, falling on her side face and shoulders, making her already fair skin even more striking.
There was only an old fan in the room turning lightly, bringing a faint roar, blowing up a few strands of fine hair on her forehead.
Li Yan estimated that she might be focused on the work at hand, so he coughed twice: "Liu Yifei?"
This sound finally pulled her attention back.
Liu Yifei still had a few handouts in her hand, turned her head and found Li Yan standing at the door, with a slightly surprised expression on her face.
She carefully put the handouts back on the table, stood up, patted her clothes, and walked to a place not far from Li Yan, turning slightly to look at him.
"Why are you here?" She seemed a bit surprised by Li Yan's sudden appearance.
Li Yan didn't do much foreshadowing, answering directly: "I'm here to talk to you about something."
While speaking, he closed the door halfway, so as not to disturb people coming and going in the corridor.
Hearing the word "something," her tone was slightly suspicious: "Ah... what is it?"
So Li Yan got straight to the point: "I have a shooting plan here, and I need a model to help appear in the scene. I thought you were suitable, so I wanted to come and ask if you are willing."
Seeing her blank face, he added: "I'm participating in a 'Shudu Humanities' photography competition recently, and I will shoot a set of works in different parts of the city. ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
So Li Yan got straight to the point: "I have a photography project here that needs a model to help appear in it. I thought you were suitable, so I wanted to come and ask if you are willing."
Seeing her look of bewilderment, he added: "I am going to participate in a 'Shudu Humanities' photography competition recently, and I will be shooting a series of works in different parts of the city.
