Chapter 65

The photoshoot process was pretty difficult. Although Liang Qing Qing wanted Bao Er to smile naturally, it was one thing to speak and another thing to act it out. Sometimes Bao Er smiled so awkwardly that the photographer was unsatisfied with her smile, saying that Bao Er’s smile was not natural enough and it was too stiff. Therefore, Bao Er felt helpless too and her mood was greatly affected.

Liang Qing Qing noticed it and quickly went to comfort Bao Er, “It’s okay, don’t give yourself too much pressure. We still have time, as long as we can finish it before Wednesday. Don’t need to rush, we can do it slowly. The problem is you try to seek the feelings yourself, think about the things you wish to do, some pleasant memories, a future full of hope.”

Mo Xiaoyi also encouraged Bao Er, “Think of it as we are taking selfies, other people are not around and only us are around. Make any kind of pose you want and laugh however you want!”

After Bao Er listened to their words, she cheered herself up in her heart and insisted on continuing the photoshoot.

Mo Xiaoyi was different from Bao Er. She was not afraid of the cameras, her movements were smooth and she smiled cheerfully. Shooting her part wasn’t difficult at all.

On the first day of shooting, none of Bao Er’s photos were successful. Her movements were very stiff and rigid. Although Liang Qing Qing emphasized many times that it was the first time Bao Er took these kinds of photos, the photographer still couldn’t hold back the fire in his heart and said some hurtful words to Bao Er. This made Bao Er feel very forlorn in her heart.

The second day, the photoshoot continued. Bao Er couldn’t get used to wearing the ring and necklace. Perhaps it was because she had been told off by the photographer yesterday so she found it more difficult to pose more openly.

“Qing Qing, do you want to consider changing the model or let Mo Xiaoyi pose for all of it? Or else, I don’t know what to do if this continues. No matter how good your design is, it’ll still be ruined if the model is not professional enough. So I hope that you can think it through!”

Liang Qing Qing glanced at Bao Er in front of her and could understand Bao Er’s feelings in a way. She was seeing the photoshoot as a game that she was playing but Bao Er was treating it so seriously. Suddenly, she came to a realization and her initial thoughts of just fooling around reduced a lot. Her heart felt a lot more guilt.

She then looked at Bao Er’s makeup that was drawn on her face for the “photoshoot”, and thought about how the photographer told her in front of Bao Er that she wasn’t professional enough and would ruin her design. Bao Er kept standing at the side and said nothing to defend herself. She’d always bowed down to those people in the photoshoot and never spoke for herself. When Liang Qing Qing thought of this, she suddenly felt very sorry for Bao Er.

“Come, let’s go and sit there for a while!” Her doll-like voice rang beside Bao Er’s ears. It sounded friendly and relieving.

Bao Er followed Liang Qing Qing then got herself a stool in the studio to sit down. But her behind looked very dispirited in the eyes of Liang Qing QIng.

“Tell me why you can’t laugh out loud happily? Is there a pressure in your heart? Or something else?” Other people of Bao Er’s age would enjoy playing around at this time. Ever since Bao Er came to “VK”, Liang Qing Qing would see Bao Er laugh as well, but she always thought that her laugh didn’t have the liveliness that belonged to her age.

Bao Er turned her head away subconsciously and didn’t know how to answer Liang Qing Qing’s question.

“Are you still afraid in front of the cameras?” Liang Qing Qing asked Bao Er in a warm voice. Now she realized that if she didn’t do anything to fix things, it would hurt Bao Er seriously. It wasn’t physical, but mental. A physical wound could be healed after some time, but how about the heart? Bao Er would probably suffer from this kind of trauma for the rest of her time in “VK”, or even forever.

“I’m sorry, Qing Qing Jie.” Bao Er was ashamed. She really wanted to help Liang Qing Qing but now she couldn’t do it even if she had the heart to.

Liang Qing Qing let out a sigh. She knew there were some words in Bao Er’s heart that were hard to be spoken out, and she didn’t force her to say it.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to say it, I can understand your feelings. I know you want to help out. Seeing how things work out, you must feel like it’s your fault. But I want to tell you that, Bao Er, I know you can do it, for real. You are the model that I’d chosen from the start. Even if Xiaoyi is here, but what you have to do, you still need to do it. So, I won’t give up and won’t abandon you. We need to understand that we are a team and only with everyone’s hard work can we make this team become more excellent and harmonious.”

Liang Qing Qing looked at Bao Er with eyes full of determination and trust. No one knew better than her about Bao Er’s hard work, so she definitely wouldn’t abandon Bao Er halfway and went ahead on her own.

“But I…” Bao Er’s face was full of hesitation. Of course she was very touched to hear Liang Qing Qing’s words, but this didn’t mean she could ruin Liang Qing Qing’s design. Liang Qing Qing didn’t disturb Bao Er’s deep pondering, allowing her to think about the reason behind it clearly.

“Ai, is it because this studio is too confined and compact that Bao Er can’t get used to it? How about we can change to another location to photoshoot, such as a big field or big valley!” Mo Xiaoyi’s voice abruptly appeared beside their ears at such inappropriate timing. Bao Er was shocked by her sudden voice.

“You shocked me!” Bao Er gave Mo Xiaoyi an eye-roll.

Mo Xiaoyi blinked innocently like a cute small deer. She hugged Bao Er’s shoulder and said with a girlish voice, “Babe, what are you thinking about just now? I’ve been here for such a long time and you don’t even notice me, tsk tsk tsk!”

Bao Er’s face turned bright red. She didn’t, it was because of what Liang Qing Qing said that made her suddenly think about Tan Jingmo’s words, saying that she wasn’t confident enough.

Liang Qing Qing didn’t notice that the two little girls were teasing each other. Her focus was solely on the “big field, big valley” that Mo Xiaoyi had said.

Photoshoot, big field, big valley, the three words kept spinning in Liang Qing Qing’s brain. She suddenly had an idea.

“Hey, everyone please stop for a while and pack up your things. Let’s go out to shoot, we’re not shooting in the studio anymore.” Liang Qing Qing told the photographers.

Usually the designers under “VK” would choose to shoot inside the studio and very few would choose to go outdoors to shoot. Since she’d already made such a huge change on the style, why not change the location of shooting too?

Liang Qing Qing talked very simply but the others were obviously confused by what she said.

“Faster, I have a good idea. Quickly get up and pack your things, we’ll go out to shoot.” Liang Qing Qing got up excitedly and didn’t care that everyone looked lost. She dragged Bao Er and Mo Xiaoyi, then walked out.

Back in the office, Liang Qing Qing let both of them pack their things first while she called someone on her phone.

Therefore, that afternoon, all of them went on a private plane and flew towards a small island near T city. There was a beautiful beach, fresh air and ocean breeze filled with a faint salty smell!

Obviously it was at this spot that they could truly unleash themselves without any restraints.

Although it wasn’t the big valley that Mo Xiaoyi had mentioned, this beach was much better than being in the cold photoshoot studio.

“Wakaka, this place is splendid.” Mo Xiaoyi ran up and down the beach, laughing heartily like a small child. She looked very happy indeed.

Bao Er also laughed when she saw Mo Xiaoyi acting that way. The wind blew towards her long hair, making it dance under the sun, swaying in a beautiful angle.

This was the first time she saw the ocean. Her hometown and T city were not places that were near the sea, so Bao Er always looked forward to seeing the ocean, but she had no time to experience it because she was busy with studies and work in the past. Now she was able to come to the beach that she liked because of the shoot, so she was very excited.

“Quickly snap the photos, they look good!” A photographer said as he looked at Bao Er’s back. They were always ready, while Bao Er and Mo Xiaoyi already put on the clothes that they should wear during the shoot.

The two people were playing by the beach and didn’t think about the incoming shoot at all. But this also gave the photography team a very good timing to take the photos.

Perhaps Mo Xiaoyi did say something right just now. Bao Er expressed herself much better here than when she was in the brightly lit photography studio. Her numerous photos of when she looked sometimes sad or troubled were taken by the photographers, which praised her well for them.
