Huh? Take a couple's photo? Lin Jinran looked at Su Qinian in confusion.
As if seeing her confusion, Su Qinian forced out a tear, wiped it with his hand, and said pitifully, "Ranran, you're not going to take photos inside alone and leave me outside, are you?"
Well, that's not going to happen.
Lin Jinran was a bit embarrassed and quickly explained, "No way. How could I bear to do that?"
The shop assistant glanced at the flowers in the boy's hand and heard their affectionate addresses to each other. Suddenly realizing something, she invited them to choose their costumes here first and then go directly to the second floor for the photoshoot later.
Lin Jinran took a quick look around and chose her favorite Tang-style cross-collared dress. It was a gradient-colored koi cross-collared dress with a matching koi-colored wide-sleeved outer robe.
After Lin Jinran made her selection, Su Qinian slowly picked out an orange Tang-style round-collar robe from the pile of men's clothes, which matched Lin Jinran's cross-collared dress.
The young shop assistant asked them to go to the fitting room to change their clothes.
Su Qinian came out soon. Wearing the koi-colored round-collar robe, he stood in front of the fitting mirror, looking dignified and imposing.
After a while, Lin Jinran also came out. She carefully lifted her skirt and slowly walked in front of the mirror, looking left and right. The fluttering clothes set off her graceful figure.
"The dressing room is upstairs. Please follow me," the shop assistant said as she led the way.
Lin Jinran walked slowly while holding her skirt, afraid of tripping and embarrassing herself. She glanced at Su Qinian and praised, "You have really good taste. This suit looks great on you."
"Of course." I chose it to match yours.
As she was praising, Lin Jinran suddenly noticed something strange. She looked at his round-collar robe and then at her own cross-collared dress. She was stunned. "No. Why are our clothes so similar in color?"
"Do you want us to look so out of place when taking the couple's photos? White here and black there. It won't look good," Su Qinian said with a faint smile, speaking unhurriedly.
"You're right," Lin Jinran said absent-mindedly without thinking further.
Following the shop assistant to the dressing room, Su Qinian's makeup and styling were quite simple and were finished in half an hour.
However, Lin Jinran's was more complicated. First, her hair was done, then she changed her clothes. According to the clothes she was wearing, a magnificent and luxurious makeup and styling were created for her, just like the style in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Su Qinian had already finished his makeup and styling early. From time to time, he took out his phone to secretly take pictures of Lin Jinran's back and chuckled softly.
Not satisfied with just smiling, he sent a photo of Lin Jinran's back to Lu Youchuan.
Lu Youchuan quickly replied: [???]
Lu Youchuan: [What's going on? Is this Lin Jinran? What are you and Lin Jinran doing!!!]
Lu Youchuan: [Su Qinian, you're so mean. You're clearly bullying me, a single dog. Woof woof woof.jpg]
Lu Youchuan even barked a few times in a very cooperative way.
Su Qinian couldn't help laughing: [Ranran came to Yun City to celebrate my birthday. We're now on the commercial street. There's an event in a Hanfu shop. It's 198 yuan for a single photo and 298 yuan for a couple's photo. We must take advantage of this deal. Am I right?]
Then he proudly sent another photo of his round-collar robe.
Lu Youchuan: [...]
Lu Youchuan: [...] Ranran? Such an affectionate address? I don't think I missed anything, right?
Lu Youchuan: [No. You're taking photos with Lin Jinran? And it's a couple's photo!!!]
Lu Youchuan: [Damn it. I'm glad I gave my seat to Lin Jinran back then. Good job, bro. Keep it up.]
Su Qinian smiled again, in a good mood. [Don't tell others about this for now, and don't show the photos to anyone else.]
Lu Youchuan: [I guarantee I'll carry out the task!]
Su Qinian put away his phone and leaned back on the chair, lazily looking at the girl who was getting her makeup done.
Time was peaceful. He really hoped that time could slow down and stay at this moment forever.
There was a soft sound of footsteps on the left. He turned his head and saw a strange girl coming over with her phone.
"Hi, handsome. Are you alone? Can I have your WeChat?" the girl asked bravely and carefully.
Su Qinian pointed at Lin Jinran who was getting her makeup done in front of the dressing mirror and smiled.
The girl immediately understood. She took a look at Lin Jinran's side profile and exclaimed, "Your girlfriend is so beautiful. No wonder she chose you as her boyfriend."
Su Qinian: [...]
"You two are simply the most good-looking people. You're the most handsome guy and the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life," the girl continued. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the pink lychee flowers beside Su Qinian and gave a sweet smile.
"I wish you and your girlfriend a happy life together."
Su Qinian raised his eyebrows and said thank you without explaining their relationship.
Just for this last afternoon in Yun City, let them be a couple.
This was his selfish desire. Su Qinian turned his head to look at Lin Jinran, with a faint smile on his lips all the time.
The girl saw this scene before leaving. Her heart skipped a beat, and she secretly took a photo of this sweet moment with her phone.
Half an hour later, Lin Jinran's styling was done.
She looked at herself in the mirror and called Su Qinian over. She said excitedly, "How do I look, Su Qinian? What do you think?"
Su Qinian walked over and stood behind her.
In the mirror, the girl was bright and charming, with a sweet smile. Her long black hair was pulled up behind her head, with a gorgeous fake peony flower inserted obliquely. It made her delicate features and fair skin look even more outstanding.
"You look really beautiful and this styling suits you very well," Su Qinian said with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Come here, you two. There's a special Tang-style pavilion in this room," the shop assistant invited them.
Lin Jinran and Su Qinian walked in one after another.
There was an ancient-style table in the room, beside which were some half-height large fake flowers clustered together. There was a screen behind them. In addition, there were all kinds of props for taking photos on the ground.
The photographer came in with a camera and asked, "You two are here to take a couple's portrait, right?"
Ah? The couple's portrait?
Lin Jinran widened her eyes and quickly waved her hands to explain, "No. We're just ordinary friends. I was afraid he would be bored waiting for me outside, so we decided to take photos together."
Finally, she understood what had been bothering her.
From the very beginning, everyone had regarded them as a couple.
Now it was the photographer's turn to be confused. "But your outfits look like a couple's. And the person who informed me also said you were a couple."
"Okay. If you don't want to take the photos as a couple, it's fine. But the effect may not be very good. You'd better think it over. The couple's photos we've taken all look great. Even if you're not a couple, you can pretend to be one. It doesn't matter. The most important thing is to get good photos."
