Turns Out Seducing the Movie Queen Can Break the Plot - Chapter 29.2
Wen Wen’s hands stilled. She lifted her eyes, those shimmering, starry eyes and saw her own reflection in them, lips curving slightly. Mimicking Jiang Chi’s tone from before, she repeated the question Jiang Chi had once asked her: “Oh? So have you fallen for me now?”
“Completely!” Jiang Chi answered instantly. “Sister, to me, you shine brighter than the sun!”
“So, my beautiful and enchanting sister, will you make sure to capture me looking just as beautiful and enchanting?”
She blinked, eyes brimming with hope.
“So,” Wen Wen said leisurely, “all that flattery was just for this?”
“No!” Jiang Chi immediately shook her head, her face brimming with sincerity. “The words are true, and so is wanting my sister to take beautiful photos of me~”
[Where’s my head-pushing squad at?]
[Perfect timing, two beauties locking eyes, a moment that lasts an eternity! What are you waiting for? Screenshot now!]
[The two of them standing together is an absolute feast for my eyes.]
When sunlight meets a radiant star, the brilliance becomes too dazzling to behold. Yet Wen Wen neither avoided nor flinched, staring straight into those seemingly glowing dark eyes as she slowly spoke: “With a model this beautiful, how terrible would a photographer’s skills have to be to make them look ugly?”
“Or is the model not confident in her own appearance?”
Hearing this, Jiang Chi immediately straightened up, dramatically flipping her fiery red hair with full confidence. “Sister, feel free to shoot however you like. This model right here, 360 degrees, no bad angles!”
Indeed, no bad angles from any side.
Wen Wen really wanted to tell her that. Many of the photos she had taken of Jiang Chi before, whether candid or spontaneous, not a single one was unflattering.
Seeing Wen Wen pick up the camera without a word and press the shutter, Jiang Chi quickly raised her hands, crossing them in front of her face. Only after Wen Wen lowered the camera did she protest, “Sister! You didn’t even warn me before taking the shot. The model wasn’t ready yet!”
Wen Wen didn’t respond, simply gesturing for her to come over and see for herself.
Jiang Chi walked over skeptically, and upon seeing the image of herself in the viewfinder*, she gasped. “Sister, is this really me? I know I’m pretty, but I didn’t know I was this pretty!”
“Sister, your photography skills are just too good!”
Wen Wen couldn’t help but laugh at her. “Have you ever heard this saying?”
Jiang chi looked up at her curiously. “What, what?”
“Some say a photograph is a reflection of the photographer’s heart.”
Jiang chi pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up with realization. “So that means, in sister’s heart, I’m this beautiful?”
Wen Wen met her gaze directly. “Yes. Actually, there’s another line before that one.”
“What is it, what is it?”
Wen Wen glanced at her but abruptly changed the subject. “Come on, go over there. I’ll take a few more shots of you.”
“Eh?” Jiang chi didn’t comply, instead chasing after Wen Wen. “Sister, you can’t just leave me hanging like that! Telling half the story is so unfair!”
Wen Wen turned to face her, narrowing her eyes slightly. “Do you not want photos anymore?”
Jiang chi froze, realizing Wen Wen was threatening her, then stomped her foot in frustration. “Hmph, mean sister!” With that, she turned to leave.
“Good girl, don’t go too far. Just stay right there.”
The sulky figure halted instantly, turning back to shoot her a resentful look before obediently taking a step to the side. “Here?”
Wen Wen found her adorable, a faint smile tugging at her lips. “Yes, that’s perfect. Just strike a pose you feel comfortable with.”
“I can pose however I want, right? After all, sister thinks I’m so beautiful.”
At that moment, the lens, now focused on Jiang Chi, captured her clearly on the image sensor. Seeing those starry eyes staring straight into the lens, Wen Wen’s hand trembled slightly.
This was the first time Jiang Chi had ever faced her camera so directly.
【OMG OMG, I just found the complete unsaid words from Wen Wen,”They say whoever takes good photos of you must really like you, because photos are a reflection of the photographer’s heart”!!!! Isn’t this basically a confession?!】
【AHHHHHH, did I accidentally ship a real couple?!】
【I’ve been observing closely so many times, the way Wen Wen looks at Jiang Chi is absolutely not innocent!! It’s like she wants to devour him with her eyes, though these emotions always disappear in an instant. Wen Wen is too good at hiding it! You’d need a magnifying glass to catch it!!】
【The more I think about it, the scarier it gets. All those circulated photos and videos supposedly proving Wen Wen likes Su Jing could it be, she was actually looking at Jiang Chi the whole time??!】
【Don’t say it, but you’re absolutely right! I’ve seen all those photos and videos, and Jiang Chi does seem to be present in every one!】
【Quick, grab your internet magnifying glasses, sisters! The sugar is coming, the sugar is coming from all directions~】
【Huh? Why are the solo stans so quiet now?】
Jiang Chi leaned close to Wen Wen, examining the freshly taken photos one by one, growing increasingly delighted: “Jiejie, your shots are way better than my photographer’s.”
“Jiang Jiang.”
Just then, Su Jing’s voice suddenly came from behind. The two photo-reviewers turned around in perfect sync to see Su Jing approaching with a camera in hand.
“Jiang Jiang, I just came up and happened to see you posing here, so I… I specifically took a few shots for you. Want to come see if they meet your standards?”
Simultaneously, other guests began emerging behind him. The first to climb up was Ji Mei, whose exhausted expression instantly brightened upon seeing Wen Wen as she energetically dashed over: “Wen-jiejie, what a coincidence.”
“It’s not about coincidence, this spot is just the only path to the summit,” Wen Wen stated matter-of-factly.
Jiang Chi had initially felt inexplicably irritated seeing Ji Mei, but Wen Wen’s attitude sparked a smug satisfaction. She nearly blurted out: “Jiejie would never treat me like that~”
Watching Ji Mei’s slightly deflated expression, she almost laughed aloud.
Ji Mei’s expression faltered momentarily before she smoothly changed the subject, peering at Wen Wen’s camera with genuine admiration: “Wow, Wen-jiejie, you’re so good at this! Could you take some photos of me?”
Wen Wen: “No, these look good because the subject is photogenic no matter how you shoot them.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chi felt like honey exploded in her heart so sweet and euphoric that if she’d had a tail, it would’ve shot into outer space!
And why was her heart pounding so hard? She pressed a hand over her chest before realizing the reason.
Before she could figure it out, Wen Wen tilted her head to look at her. Their eyes met wordlessly, yet Jiang Chi inexplicably understood exactly what Wen Wen meant.
“Sure, photos are fine,” Jiang Chi shifted her gaze to Ji Mei, “but our esteemed photographer Wen charges for her services, a thousand per shot. Pay up first if you want some.”
She extended her hand, wiggling her fingers impatiently.
“A thousand per photo? Why not just rob a bank instead?”
I was already annoyed, having just tried to find Wen Wen in the restroom only to be blocked by Jin Jin Yi. Now seeing Jiang Chi’s smug expression made me even more irritated.
“Why should I fight for it?” Jiang Chi said with an innocent look. “Big sister is willing to take photos for me for free.”
Finally able to unleash this triumphant feeling, and just as she had anticipated, Ji Mei’s expression instantly became a spectacle.
With just a pout of her lips, Jiang Chi immediately realized what she was about to do. In one swift motion, she wrapped an arm around Wen Wen’s waist, pulling her close and securing her by her side.
As expected, all of Ji Mei’s earlier fidgeting had been preparations to lunge at Wen Wen. But since Jiang Chi had moved a step faster, Ji Mei missed her target and turned to glare at Jiang Chi in frustration.
The smile vanished from Jiang Chi’s face as her expression turned serious in an instant. “No acting cute, no being adorable, and no touching my CP.”
At the sight of Jiang Chi’s ghostly expression, memories of the skatepark flashed through Ji Mei’s mind, causing her to involuntarily take a step back.
Just then, a sweet voice chimed in from the side, “Excuse me… Oh, you, you’re—”
“Shh!” Jiang Chi swiftly stopped her from calling out Wen Wen’s name.
The newcomer was a young woman dressed in Hanfu. The resplendent Tang-style robes cascaded to the ground, paired with flawless makeup and hair accessories, making her a breathtaking sight.
However, this Hanfu-clad woman seemed as though she had genuinely just time-traveled from the Tang Dynasty, unfamiliar with modern people. She covered her mouth in astonishment.
Her gaze first landed on Wen Wen, then quickly shifted to Jiang Chi, leaving her too excited to speak.
Both Jiang Chi and Wen Wen were wearing wide-brimmed sun hats that obscured most of their faces. Most tourists were either engrossed in taking photos or focused on hiking, so no one had recognized them along the way.
Jiang Chi pulled Wen Wen behind her and stepped forward, smiling at the Hanfu-clad woman. “Are you here to ask us for photos?”
The woman nodded eagerly, still covering her mouth. After calming herself slightly, she explained, “I overheard you mentioning paid photo services earlier. I came here specifically for photos, I originally booked a photographer, but he had to cancel last minute. Neither my friend nor I know how to take good pictures, so I wanted to ask if you’re available for a session.”
“Absolutely no problem. Our rate is 100 yuan per set, with six photos per set. We also offer free touch-ups and simple hairstyling.” These terms had been discussed and agreed upon by both Jiang Chi and Wen Wen earlier. Jiang Chi’s eyes swept over the woman’s outfit as she added sincerely, “But you’re dressed so beautifully flawless from head to toe. I bet even a casual snapshot would look like a professional shot.”
The woman blushed at the praise but confirmed, “100 yuan per set? But I just heard you say,”
“Oh,” Jiang Chi shot a sideways glance at Ji Mei, lying without batting an eye, “That was just nonsense. If you’re ready now, we can start shooting right away.”
“Great, great! Your prices are so reasonable! My friend and I each want two solo sets, plus two joint sets. We’ll be in your care!”
From then on, Wen Wen took charge of photographing customers while Jiang Chi continued to attract more clients, handle touch-ups, and style simple yet elegant hairdos. Soon, a long line of tourists had formed, drawn by word of mouth.
Just as everything was in full swing, an unexpected incident occurred.
