CHAPTER 493: CHAPTER 366 TEMPORARY MODEL_2

"We’ll definitely find time to visit Ah Hai, but he’s quite seriously injured this time.

I heard that after he went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said he probably wouldn’t be able to do any photoshoots for half a month."

Xiaohan shook her head and sighed helplessly.

Then she curiously looked at Shi Yang, "Sister Yangyang, our current photoshoot task is rather important. Your friend isn’t a professional model, right? Can he cooperate?

Plus, our shooting intensity is quite high. Wouldn’t it be too exhausting for him?"

"I’m not entirely sure, but don’t worry.

That guy always took advantage of me before, so asking him for a favor this time shouldn’t be too much, right?

It’s just one day of shooting anyway. He usually loves to indulge, so getting him to do some activities is a good thing."

Shi Yang wasn’t sure either, but she still tried to reassure everyone.

"Takes advantage of you?"

Xiaohan and the bespectacled female assistant Zhang Yao looked at Shi Yang with some surprise.

They all knew Shi Yang was the Shi Family’s heiress, pampered since childhood.

Unexpectedly, there were guys who dared to take advantage of her, and judging by Shi Yang’s expression, she didn’t seem particularly angry.

Xiaohan and Zhang Yao exchanged glances, seeing the full surprise in each other’s eyes.

Unable to suppress her curiosity, Xiaohan asked:

"Sister Yangyang, who exactly is this friend of yours? I have never heard you mention him before."

"That guy is from Tianhai. He’s quite skilled; my grandpa and Uncle Chen both appreciate him.

He’s been vacationing in Hai Province lately. He used to annoy me a lot, but he’s quite decent."

Once Li Jing was mentioned, Shi Yang couldn’t stop talking and began to chatter away.

To avoid awkwardness when meeting for the first time, Shi Yang took the chance to introduce before Li Jing arrived:

"His name is Li Jing, and you can call him Brother Jing. I usually call him that, so just follow my lead."

"Sister Yangyang, you call him brother?"

Xiaohan and Zhang Yao’s eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.

They knew Shi Yang’s personality well. Although she seemed friendly and approachable, she was ultimately an heiress with a hint of arrogance deep down.

Not to mention calling a peer "brother," Shi Yang rarely even looked at guys directly.

That’s why Shi Yang had always been known as a "cool goddess" in the circle.

"Ah, it’s just a term. Don’t worry about it.

I call him brother, so you can just call him Brother Jing too."

Shi Yang clearly didn’t want to waste words on this topic, worried it might bring out her past awkward incidents.

She quickly brought the conversation back to the photoshoot task, "That guy’s shooting experience and skills surely can’t match Ah Hai’s.

Xiaohan, it’s going to be tough for you to teach him and cooperate more.

Li Jing’s height is fine, his appearance is passable, but we’re shooting a seaside theme this time, and his physique certainly isn’t like Ah Hai’s.

I’ll try to take more shots of his back and side, and we can edit them later.

To complete the shooting plan today, we’ll focus on Xiaohan, and Li Jing can play a supporting role, reducing potential issues during the shoot."

Upon hearing this, Xiaohan nodded in agreement: "That’s the only way."

As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at Shi Yang with a meaningful gaze, and asked:

"Sister Yangyang, while shooting with him, there will definitely be a lot of physical contact. You wouldn’t mind, right?"

"Physical contact? Mind?"

Shi Yang was initially stunned, then rolled her eyes and said exasperatedly,

"What are you thinking! He’s just a regular friend to me. You can contact him however you like.

Even if you hug him, as long as you don’t mind him, I can totally pretend not to notice."

Seeing Xiaohan and Zhang Yao staring at her, Shi Yang became a bit impatient, "You two don’t overthink. He’s just a friend.

Treat him like a temporary model we found and don’t have any other concerns."

Xiaohan and assistant Zhang Yao exchanged a glance and finally nodded in acknowledgment.

About an hour later, a car slowly stopped nearby, and Li Jing leisurely got out, walking toward them.

Shi Yang saw him from afar and immediately stood up, quickly walking towards Li Jing.

Standing before Li Jing, Shi Yang placed her hands on her hips, her delicate face full of playful scolding:

"Honestly, Boss Li, you’re really good at dawdling, making us three girls wait for you a whole hour. Where did your gentlemanly manners go?"

Having not seen Shi Yang for days, Li Jing’s gaze unintentionally swept over her, resting on her slender, willow-like waist and her shapely, voluptuous hips, causing a faint glimmer in his eye.

However, he quickly collected himself, a teasing smile curling at his lips as he spoke:

"Come on, you suddenly called me over for help out of the blue, and I managed to drop everything and come, which is already pretty good. So stop being picky."

Shi Yang knew she was being unreasonable, gave a soft snort, and softened her tone, leading Li Jing as she turned and walked back.

Reaching the table and chairs not far ahead, Shi Yang pointed at the two women seated at the table and introduced them to Li Jing:

"We have arranged to shoot a set of commercial photos today.

This beautiful model is Xiaohan, and the girl with glasses is my assistant, Zhang Yao.

The schedule is quite packed today, shooting for the entire day. You’re okay with that, right?"

"The whole day?"

Li Jing raised his brows slightly at the remark, looking directly at Shi Yang with some confusion,

"That’s not what you mentioned before. You only said to come and take some photos, never mentioned a whole day.

I’m here in Yashi for vacation, not to be free labor for you."

Seeing herself publicly refused, Shi Yang’s expression slightly changed but quickly calmed down, explaining:

"Who said you’d work for free? I’ll definitely pay you modeling fees.

Although you’re not a professional model, I’ll compensate you at professional rates. Is that alright?"

Li Jing found it amusing, a faint smirk of mockery on his face:

"Do you think I’m the kind of person who cares about that bit of money?"

Hearing Li Jing and Shi Yang’s intense exchange, Xiaohan and assistant Zhang Yao, who were ready to greet Li Jing, exchanged glances, causing a slightly awkward atmosphere.

Not knowing how to ease the sudden tension, they stood quietly, a hint of awkwardness in their eyes.

Sensing Li Jing not giving her face in front of her friends, Shi Yang couldn’t help biting her lip, a flicker of anger in her eyes.

She secretly pinched Li Jing’s arm, lowering her voice with a hint of threat:

"Are you doing this on purpose? In front of my friends, can’t you give me some face?"

Li Jing looked at Shi Yang’s slightly flushed cheeks from anger, her pout making her especially adorable.

His lips curved slightly upwards, teasingly saying, "Helping you all day, I’m exhausted and should get some return?"

"Since you don’t want money, tell me, what else can I give you?"

Shi Yang ground her teeth softly, thought for a moment, and said: "Or how about this, I’ll accompany you tomorrow for a whole day as thanks for your help, okay?"

"Spending a day with me is not enough."

Li Jing deliberately kept her guessing, paused, and said,

"How about this, you spend the night with me at my hotel room tonight."

"Go to hell!"

Before he could finish, Shi Yang instantly interrupted, glaring at Li Jing fiercely, filled with embarrassment and annoyance, wanting to leave immediately.

But remembering she needed Li Jing’s help for the shoot, she held back her anger, grinding her teeth and said:

"No way, that’s a perverse demand, change it!"

Li Jing originally just wanted to tease Shi Yang, but seeing that she’s really angry, he pretended to ponder for a moment and then said seriously:

"Or how about this, I’ve been pretty tired during this vacation; you come to my room tonight and give me a massage for an hour, okay?

Don’t worry, I won’t mind your technique; it’ll be just relaxing."
