Jiang Lai showed no expression, turning her head back to watch the fireworks fill the sky."Hello, handsome guy and beautiful lady, we just took some candid photos of you. They’re really nice. Do you want to keep some as mementos?"
As he spoke, a man with a camera walked over, handing the photos to them with a smile.
"Both of you look very photogenic. This picture of the gentleman kissing the lady on the forehead is almost like an artistic shot. Do you want to keep a few?
It’s only fifteen yuan per photo."
Jiang Lai said nothing, while Yu Bai took the camera, browsing through it for a while before directly pulling out his wallet.
"How much for the camera? I’ll buy it."
"Huh? Haha, sorry, the camera’s not for sale. We sell photos. If you like any photos inside, we can have them developed for you, included in the fifteen yuan per photo price."
"I’ll develop them myself. Do you have a card machine?"
"Uh... we need this camera to earn money tonight. You’re putting me in a difficult situation..."
"Fifty thousand."
"Fifty thousand... fifty thousand, haha, okay, okay, please this way, we have a POS machine here. It seems you really like these photos. We also have other equipment that shot videos. Would you be interested?"
There was a special aerial shot used for promotions, and since the two of them had outstanding looks, they were given extra screen time.
Yu Bai watched for a while, then paid to buy the raw video footage.
On the way back, he still held Jiang Lai’s hand.
From beginning to end, he never let go.
On the way back, they sat in the back; Jiang Lai was slightly tired and wanted to rest against the rear seat. Yu Bai leaned over, lowered his body, and offered his shoulder to Jiang Lai.
"Get some sleep."
It was early morning, very late.
Jiang Lai leaned over, inhaling the faint scent of his cologne, and soon fell asleep unknowingly.
When she woke up again, she found herself lying on a large bed, surrounded by darkness.
She sat up, and the lights turned on as if sensing her movement.
The curtains drew open from both sides, sunlight streamed in, and the silhouette of a man gradually became clear.
He sat on the balcony, sipping coffee, reading a book.
"I just made some coffee. Would you like some?"
Jiang Lai glanced out; outside were towering buildings, evidently not at the Huang Family residence.
"This is my private residence. You slept so soundly last night, I didn’t want to disturb you."
Jiang Lai moved her neck a bit.
She could feel she’d slept a long time, feeling completely lazy.
"I’ll freshen up first."
The phone was on the bedside table; she picked it up and walked into the bathroom, noticing a missed call from her secretary.
Returning the call, her secretary informed her.
"The gentleman you contacted yesterday called me. He said due to family reasons he can’t stay in this city to work, so he declined our invitation.
Do you have any plans for today?"
Jiang Lai replied no and then hung up.
Going out again, Yu Bai was still leisurely drinking coffee.
"Any plans for today? If not, I’ll arrange something."
It was New Year’s today, and Jiang Lai had nothing planned, so she shook her head.
"Up to you."
"Alright, freshen up and rest for a bit. Let’s go to another city to celebrate the New Year."
Jiang Lai nodded, and at that moment received a call from Mr. Huang.
"Lai Lai, are you going out with friends as I suggested for New Year’s?"
