“Could it be possible that you don’t like me?”

Why is he still asking!

Liu Man tilted her head away.

Yu Zhan suddenly parked his car at the side of the road.

“What are you doing?” Liu Man was confused.

Yu Zhan looked at her, “If you don’t answer this question clearly, we’re just going to stay here until you answer,” he locked the car doors as he spoke.

Hearing the car lock, Liu Man felt even more uncomfortable. She lowered her head and silently stared at her feet. It felt as if this was the first day she met Yu Zhan and the first time Yu Zhan drove her home. She was also like this, lowering her head, not knowing what to do.

She drank a bit of beer, there wasn’t much alcohol in it, but it still made her face redden like nature’s blush. Yu Zhan couldn’t resist but touch her cheeks, seeing that she didn’t resist, he continued to caress her face.

Liu Man was stoned, just standing there letting Yu Zhan touch her, no, not touch, she meant intimate actions.

Yu Zhan not only touched her face, but also the tip of her eyes, his fingers glided across her eyelash, following the bridge of her nose, lingering around her lips.

“You still don’t want to tell me?” His voice was enchanting.

“If I don’t like you, I wouldn’t even be your girlfriend.” Liu Man’s voice was low, she was a bit shy, but helpless.

Yu Zhan’s going too far!

Her head was still lowered, his soft laughter rang through her ears, “Nevermind, I’ll stop teasing you.” His hand left her precious lips.

It was enough to know her answer, on the other hand, he doesn’t even dare to think about other things to do.

Yu Zhan restarted the car and continued driving to Liu Man’s house.

Tao Zhiyao was an active person. The next day when Liu Man and Li Xiaoru woke up, they both found out that they were in a new group chat. There were only three members, the third was Tao Zhiyao.

“Sis peach, what are you doing so early in the morning?” –Li Xiaoru

“???” –Liu Man

“Aftering the gathering yesterday, I was thinking about the pictures Man Man talked about. So, I decided that today was the perfect day for you two to take some photos!” –Tao Zhiyao

“……” –Li Xiaoru

“……” –Liu Man

“Sis, you’ve already graduated, you have nothing to do but we still have class.” –Li Xiaoru

“Don’t attempt to trick me! Bold of you to think I’ve never gone to college. I know that when the semester ends, most classes have already finished. I just need half a day from you guys to take 9 photos.

“Then let’s do it in the morning,” Liu Man said, she and Li Xiaoru both had English 4, but it just ended.

“Man Man, you’re the best. Then it’s a deal, 9 o’clock, you guys come to this address,” Tao Zhiyao sent them a location.

The place was a bit remote. It was located at the end station of one of the subway lines. When Liu man and Li Xiaoru arrived, they just noticed that it was a photo shooting base for a photography agency.

“It’s so empty, is the business not going well for them?” Li Xiaoru looked around, then, Tao Zhiyao’s voice suddenly came behind her, “That’s because I’ve booked the entire place.”

Liu Man and Li Xiaoru both nodded in unison. Their rich sis wore a trousers shirt, her shirt sleeves were rolled to her elbows, and she had a SLR camera in her hand, looking like a capable woman.

On her side, there was a man and a woman. Tao Zhiyao introduced them to the man first, “This is the manager of the base, Manager Cheng.” Manager Cheng smiled and greeted them.

Then, she introduced them to the girl, “She’s the best makeup artist in this agency, Miao Xiaomei.”

Miao Xiaomei was really short, she was a head shorter than all three of them. She was tan and skinny and not wearing any makeup. She also didn’t look very old, about 20 years old or so.

Miao Xiaomei was constantly staring at Liu Man.

When Liu Man smiled at her, Miao Xiaomei thought her heart was about to melt. She shyly smiled back.

Tao Zhiyao said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover guys, though her looks aren’t the best, Manager Cheng said her makeup skills are legendary. She could turn the ugliest person into a goddess.”

Manager Cheng followed up, “That’s right! This girl right here is the top makeup artist in the agency, every customer fought for her to put on their makeup.”

Very quickly, Li Xiaoru and Liu Man learnt the greatness of Miao Xiaomei.

This time, Tao Zhiyao brought four of her own outfits here. Two Hanfu and two Western gowns. Liu Man was going to wear the Hanfus and Li Xiaoru would wear the gowns.

This photo shooting base covered an area of several acres and consisted of several sceneries, which were similar to a movie set. Tao Zhiyao carefully selected two sceneries, namely the Sea of Roses and the Limestone Alley.

Li Xiaoru was nervous. Personally, she has never done an actual photo shoot before. She had never thought her first time doing so would be so professional.

Though Tao Zhiyao was generally carefree, the way she worked was reassuring and reliable. She considered every area and made sure Liu Man and Li Xiaoru were comfortable.

The two only needed to sit down, get their makeup on, put the outfits on, glamour themselves, and take beautiful pictures.

Tao Zhiyao held out her two Hanfus and hung them up. The outfit was dazzling, it had a beautiful skirt which grabbed Liu Man and Li Xiaoru’s attention.

She said, “A few days ago when Man Man streamed, wasn’t there a fan who googled the ‘FengHua’ clothing line? These two outfits were also from that brand, these are Xiange and Yuehua.” Xiange’s main color was red and Yuehua’s main color palette was grey.

Li Xiaoru had to ask, “Did you actually buy all five outfits from the clothing line?”

Tao Zhiyao had a brief moment of embarrassment, “Hehehe, you guessed right! I thought that each of these outfits were all so beautiful! I really couldn’t choose any individual one, so I just asked Mr. Zhong to make each outfit according to my size.”

Li Xiaoru: “……”

Rich sis, so capricious!

“It was only after I bought them that I realized my temperament didn’t fit Hanfus. So, I only tested out each one of them, they’ve been collecting dust inside my wardrobe,” Tao Zhiyao smiled and said to Liu Man, “You are now the one who will bring these outfits back to life! It just so happens that you and I have about the same body type, so you can wear my clothes too.”

The two dresses Tao Zhiyao brought were also very beautiful, echoing the colors of Hanfu, one was a big red off-the-shoulder dress, the other was a dark blue tube top dress, which was very suitable for attending formal high-class banquets.

Miao Xiaomei carefully observed the styles of the four sets of clothing, and then began to put on makeup for Liu Man and Li Xiaoru. She first did Li Xiaoru’s part, while Liu Man watched her makeup process.

Seeing her professional and efficient techniques, Liu Man felt that her little makeup skills were simply not worth mentioning. In comparison, Zhang Jiaojiao’s technique also appeared amateurish when confronted with Miao Xiaomei’s skills.
