How to put it, the atmosphere was originally a bit awkward, but this sudden voice directly broke the awkwardness.
"Uh... hehe... sorry, you two."
Huanyu awkwardly pulled out his phone, then cleared his throat and said seriously, "It's like this, I'm actually a massive fan of Ms. Herta."
"Massive fan? Ha?"
Xing Qinglan's face showed a skeptical expression.
You say you're a massive fan of Ms. Herta? Then what am I? You went straight for Ruan Mei, and you call that a massive fan?
As for Mo Yu, he smiled slightly, his original emotions temporarily suppressed. One could say that this sudden voice was indeed a timely help.
"Uh... this... this is just because..."
Huanyu scratched his cheek, evading Xing Qinglan's death stare.
"Because... Teacher Ruan Mei is too authoritative."
"You..."
Xing Qinglan didn't know what to say for a moment. She understood how authoritative Mo Yu's entire get-up was, but the problem was, as a photographer, and one who was originally only serving her, was it right for him to say that?
Besides, what I'm offering isn't bad, okay! I have everything!
Thinking this, Xing Qinglan grew more and more annoyed. Then she walked back to Mo Yu's side and directly hugged his arm.
"See? He! Is mine! No matter how authoritative, he's still mine! Understand?"
"Understood, Boss, understood."
Seeing this, Huanyu also gave a wry smile and quickly said, as for what he was muttering in his heart, that was unknown. Ermm, it wasn't very important.
In any case, with that, Xing Qinglan at least felt a little better.
"Alright, alright, don't waste any more time, get to work."
"Okay, okay, Boss, this way please."
Huanyu made a gesture to invite them, but his posture had a somewhat bowing and scraping feel, like a traitor leading the way for the Japanese in a TV show.
One could only say that Mo Yu found it somewhat hard to bear; he was truly too lively.
And next... was the rather tedious shooting time.
The so-called indoor set for the main shoot, to put it plainly, was to pose in actions that fit the character and produced good shots, in conjunction with the scene. This process was... a bit tedious.
Mo Yu stood to the side, silently watching, watching the originally imposing Xing Qinglan gradually become listless.
Hmm, but at least, he could tell one thing.
His senior sister had absolutely no dance foundation, so—her poses were really stiff, even less graceful than when Huanyu himself posed.
Sure enough—men understand men better.
Mo Yu thought sincerely in his heart, but unfortunately, such words could absolutely not be spoken aloud.
"Hey, Boss, can you be a little softer! How many times has this been already, huh?"
Huanyu looked at Xing Qinglan with both exhaustion and helplessness.
"Can't you be a little more natural, like Teacher Mulan?"
As Huanyu said this, Xing Qinglan was staring at Mo Yu, her eyes carrying a hint of resentment, her small mouth slightly pouting, looking quite cute.
As for Mo Yu—he spread his hands, unable to help, helpless.
The entire shoot dragged on from nine-thirty in the morning until two in the afternoon. After all that, some of Xing Qinglan's makeup had worn off, but Mo Yu helped her touch it up.
It was just that—Mo Yu's completely fresh state made Huanyu and Xing Qinglan immensely impressed.
"Teacher, how much setting spray did you put on?"
"Ah ah ah ah, why doesn't your makeup come off?"
"Because I'm naturally beautiful?"
Mo Yu scratched his cheek, asking with an innocent yet somewhat uncertain expression, which directly silenced the two of them again.
"Alright, alright, go back and freshen up, change your clothes, I'll treat you to a meal."
Seeing their gloomy faces, Mo Yu smoothed things over.
"Hmm... but, I should be the one treating!"
Xing Qinglan thought for a moment and said seriously.
"Forget it, let me do it. I said I'd let you live off me, I wasn't joking."
Mo Yu said, rubbing Xing Qinglan's head. He... really wasn't short on money, because he was usually quite frugal, and with his good grades, he received a scholarship every semester.
As for treating Huanyu, that was also normal. After all, he had worked for free all morning, so he deserved a meal as thanks.
"Alright, alright... I'll make it up to you later."
Xing Qinglan hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and then quietly added a sentence.
"Okay, okay, then I'll leave first. We'll meet at the cafe later?"
"Mm."
"Okay."
...When Mo Yu returned to his dorm, he also timed it perfectly. Hmm, the two beasts in the dorm were already up and had just gone out to eat.
It was actually quite normal. Sleeping until two in the afternoon, then going out for lunch and dinner, and ordering late-night snacks in the evening—a truly listless life.
Mo Yu knew this because the two of them had mentioned it in the dorm group after waking up, also asking if Mo Yu needed them to bring him food.
Therefore, these two didn't know that Mo Yu also had a cosplay day today.
Returning to the dorm, changing into a fresh shirt and shorts, Mo Yu left, casually grabbing a sun umbrella. He didn't actually have a habit of using an umbrella, but he remembered that his senior sister seemed to use one but always forgot to bring it.
By the time he arrived at the cafe, Huanyu was already waiting there.
This was also normal. As a photographer, the photos didn't need to be edited immediately. After dropping off his equipment at the Anime Club, he could just come and wait. And the air conditioning in the cafe was very cool, so coming early was no problem.
"Huanyu!"
Mo Yu called out softly, waving his hand.
The young man sitting at the table looked up, and when he saw Mo Yu, his eyes still held a hint of confusion—who was this handsome guy? He didn't recognize him.
"It's me, I'm the Ruan Mei from before."
Mo Yu came over to him and sat in the booth opposite him.
"Oh... huh?"
Huanyu responded, but quickly, his expression and voice changed, and then he suddenly looked up, his eyes wide.
"No! Dude, who did you say you were?"
"I said I was Mulan."
"Ha?"
It was clear that during the previous shoot, he had absolutely no idea that Mo Yu was a boy, absolutely no idea! And now, he suddenly knew the truth and saw the person after removing his makeup. This shock... "No! Dude... you..."
"Sorry, did I scare you?"
"You smell so good!"
"Ha?"
