It’s just that Han Mingyue wasn’t able to because both his hands were occupied temporarily, but Zhen Yu really wasn’t able to!
Understanding this point clearly, Han Mingyue finally averted his face and breathlessly called out, "Xiao Yu!"
At this moment, for the first time in her life being so enthusiastic, Zhen Yu finally felt embarrassed belatedly!
So she left a sentence, "I’m going to sleep!" and fled in embarrassment.
Only leaving behind a flustered and heated Han Mingyue standing alone in the dining room, his mind buzzing!
Looking at the bowl in his left hand and the chopsticks in his right, he suddenly wanted to throw both items out of the window...
And when Zhen Yu said she was going back to her room to sleep, she really went back to sleep.
Because not long after taking the cold medicine, she started to feel drowsy.
So, when Bai Xue and the photographer arrived, they only saw Han Mingyue alone in the living room.
Especially Bai Xue! Because she arrived a bit earlier than scheduled, she happened to see Han Mingyue drying sheets. She couldn’t help but be surprised, "Did you wash all these?! Where’s Xiao Yu? Aren’t these her sheets and covers?!"
Han Mingyue didn’t answer her questions.
He just told her that Zhen Yu had a cold and was napping in her room.
So, Bai Xue quietly walked into the bedroom and did not come out again.
——
Soon the photographer arrived, and upon opening the door and seeing Han Mingyue, he immediately asked in confusion, "Weren’t the photos of the men’s Hanfu supposed to be taken tonight? Is the schedule changed again!?"
Han Mingyue hurriedly explained, "I’m not the model! I’m the boss’s boyfriend! The men’s photos indeed should wait until tonight."
"With such a handsome boyfriend, why does she need male models? Just use you!" The photographer, being a professional, immediately questioned, "Could she possibly find a male model more handsome than you?! I really don’t believe it..."
Han Mingyue naturally couldn’t hear his younger brother being put down!
Besides, to be fair, while Han Jiayang’s looks might not surpass his, you couldn’t say he was inferior either!
They each have their own unique charms.
So Han Mingyue sincerely said, "You’ll believe it when you see him tonight."
Photographer: "..."
What? How can you not recognize a compliment!!
Considering he didn’t know what the two girls were doing in the room, Han Mingyue opted to knock on the door and then shouted through the door, "The photographer is here!"
"Oh! I’ll be right out!" Bai Xue’s clear voice came from the bedroom first.
Then followed by Zhen Yu’s hoarse voice, "Got it, I’ll be out soon too."
The photographer, who was fiddling with his gear beside the sofa, looked up and proactively asked Han Mingyue, "Where are you going to take the shots? Is the house set up already?"
"Take a look! It’s this room."
Han Mingyue walked a few steps to the door of the room he used to live in, opened it, and motioned for the photographer to check it out.
"Did you guys set this up?" The photographer, assessing the room’s arrangement critically, said, "It’s okay! The space is barely sufficient."
Han Mingyue remained quiet.
Yet the photographer continued, "Oh right! Do we hang the items up first or start with portraits?"
Han Mingyue shook his head, "I don’t know either, let me go ask!"
"Go ahead, go!" The male photographer waved impatiently, thinking Han Mingyue, handsome as he is, is just too bad at small talk! Otherwise, he stays silent! Interacting with him is truly tiring!
——
As Han Mingyue stepped out, Bai Xue and Zhen Yu happened to be coming out of the adjacent bedroom together.
Zhen Yu immediately asked him, "Where’s the photographer?"
"In the room!" The moment Han Mingyue heard Zhen Yu’s voice, he frowned but still passed on the message first, "He just asked whether it should be a hanging shoot or portraits first?"
Zhen Yu replied, "Let him know where the samples are, hang the items first!"
Han Mingyue nodded, "Okay."
Once the photographer got the confirmation, he proceeded to take pictures on his own.
Meanwhile, after leading Bai Xue to sit in front of the sofa, Zhen Yu fetched the pre-prepared makeup toolbox to style her hair and do her makeup.
Since it was a Hanfu photoshoot, they definitely needed a traditional hairstyle! Zhen Yu had even consulted Su Xuan to learn some skills for this!
But while she was doing Bai Xue’s hair, Zhen Yu suddenly turned to look at Han Mingyue, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book!
"Didn’t you say you were going home to check on things? Why aren’t you leaving yet?"
Han Mingyue glanced at her, without saying a word. But he put down the book and got up, heading directly towards the dining room.
Even Bai Xue couldn’t help but turn her head along with Zhen Yu to watch him...
As a result, Han Mingyue merely poured a glass of warm water and brought it over, handing it to Zhen Yu, "Your voice is so hoarse! You should drink some water before continuing with the styling!"
Bai Xue: "..."
She didn’t eat much breakfast either! Why does she suddenly feel so full...
Zhen Yu obediently accepted the glass of water and drank it all, and only then did Han Mingyue take the glass back and reply in a low voice, "Leaving you two girls at home, I’m worried."
——
"Oh!" Bai Xue suddenly spoke up, "Well, Lu Huai just had something delaying him this morning! He’ll be here soon!"
Upon hearing Bai Xue, Han Mingyue suddenly gave her a deep look! And then he indeed heard Zhen Yu say to him, "Then you can leave when he arrives! You only get one day off a week, you should go home and spend time with your aunt."
Bai Xue: "..."
Did she just say something wrong?! Why does she suddenly feel a chill all over...
Though Han Mingyue wasn’t too reassured about leaving Zhen Yu, once Lu Huai arrived, she urged him twice more to hurry home.
Unable to resist her insistence, Han Mingyue eventually left.
But not before pulling Lu Huai aside to give him several reminders.
The most important being, should Zhen Yu’s cold get worse, to remember to call him! So he can come back to take her to get a drip!
Lu Huai nodded repeatedly, nodding like a pecking chicken, finally seeing Han Mingyue off.
Then he sat down beside the sofa, focusing intently on watching Zhen Yu do Bai Xue’s makeup and hair.
And developed a very subtle feeling.
As if he had a precious jewel! Wanting to flaunt it and let the world know; yet also wanting to keep it hidden, fearing someone might snatch it away...
