42 42. crazed...?

CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK

It was time for the shoot again and YuTang was sitting on a chaise with the other newcomers spread over the shooting space...

He was in traditional imperial clothing and sat straight as he made himself a part of this setting... maybe influenced by his aura, everyone brought their A-game and the whole scene felt as if one was brought back to those eras!

The look in YuTang's eyes had changed to that of a man loyal to the crown and respectfully gazed at the back of the Empress... nobody could guess that this man was actually running through a fever that made it hard for him to even concentrate.

After he had introduced himself to Zhou Xuan, he dazedly remembered the crying voice of two women, their shrieks were uncomfortable to the ear, but before he could even frown, ChunHua placed a headphone on his head that was playing some really soothing music... he had closed his eyes for a second or so, he thought but when he opened his eyes, only the head make-up artist stood in front of him and was helping him with his makeup...

After he thanked him, the costume manager helped him with his clothes and he finally came out with the grandeur appearance of a court official that could rival that of the man posing as the emperor himself!

It was as if, his whole aura had changed... well, this was also an attribute of a good actor, they were efficient in delving themselves in different roles at the drop of a hat!

As for what happened to those women, he didn't care... inside his head all he could think of was the smiling figure of ChunHua as she covered his ears and voiced out a, "I'll take care of everything...",

the image of her smiling face that calmed his heart down and made him believe that everything will really be fine because she said so, overlapped with a trapped image of his distant past... a past that he seemed to have forgotten.

That headache and tingling pain came looking for him again and he again gave up searching... even though he felt that it was something important, his trauma from back then was still running strong and made it hard for him to think about them...

With a slight frown, he looked ahead and finally saw ChunHua who was happily talking away with the two men, Zhou Xuan and Zhao Tao... that uncomfortable feeling from a while ago, again came back... it felt like, after meeting her, his emotional stability has become questionable, but he didn't get much time to think about it as ChunHua who had a radar for him and could find his presence from a large distance, turned around to look at him...

He saw her freeze for a second before, she came running to him and said " Baby Yu, you look like an adult!! You look very good!!" Well, ignoring the first half, it really sounded close to gloating which made one think that she was talking about herself with how smug she looked than about another person; it was the same for her, it didn't matter if she looked good, which she always did...or, YuTang looked fabulous, it was "her right to brag about it"! ~Quote by Ji ChunHua~

Anyway...

Even though YuTang knew that teasing was her second nature and had wanted to accept her compliment wholeheartedly, his lips couldn't help but twitch when he heard everything...

"jiejie... I'm an adult. I'll be 24 next year!", he tried to convince her and get her facts straight, but--

He saw her give him an ignorant and confused look, as if, she couldn't understand or believe what he said... which definitely hit him hard...

When he saw her like that, even he felt that he didn't sound convincing.

YuTang cried without tears... (T^T)

...

Back to the present, he was called for the shoot a little early as there was a last-minute change in the schedule for it...

The photographer taking the pictures was none other than old Su, who after taking a few shots, simply stopped his movements and looked at the ones he took with all his attention.

Even the other photographers who were done with their work felt that something was wrong...

Zhou Xuan who was standing beside ChunHua, who had a mysterious smile on her face, gave her look before sighing...

"Hua... You call me your big brother, right?"

This man who was famous for his poison tongue in the industry, at this moment, talked in a tone that was laced with a sweet and flattery tone and he was very good at it too... his eyes were a little upturned, making full use of those sexy peach blossom eyes, right now he was using all his sex appeal and sliver tongue to make her accept a proposal, but of course, the opponent he chose was a bit tricky, in the sense that she had mastered every art of con there was!!

"The final decision is his... but if you throw a few plots under your name, I may or may not be able to help you~", she sounded just like the cute money-grubber she was... well, every word she had said to YuTang was at least half-truth and it was same for the thing about making him earn a lot of money... because of his performance just now, Zhou Xuan was throwing an olive branch for him, of course, she will make the best deal out of this!

Yes, the reason the shoot stopped abruptly was that even from a layman's point of view, YuTang's presence was too strong.

During this year, he had done only single shoots and it was probably the first time for him to do a group shot... well, he had adapted well and his presence was not at all its glory because he knew the MC of the shoot was the newly crowned Film empress... but the one to take this photographer was none other than Old Su, a veteran professional, even if he wanted to, he couldn't lay too low, which led to this situation.

The actress was a new to modelling but her years of experience as an actress still filled the lacuna, but it was not the same for the others.. in contrast to the two of them, they simply faded out resulting in an abnormal scene.

Zhou Xuan was an industry veteran and a supermodel at that, he had noticed this with a simple glance and had wanted to robe this man or at least have a long-run collaboration with him, as for the matter of that 'ban' was concerned since ChunHua took him under her care already, that will end soon as well... this man was going to turn into a phenomenon and as a businessman and also a man in the same business, he wanted to have good relation with him... even he himself wanted to stand on the stage to see who was better among them...

He was very sure that this man had learned acting in university so, it really astounded him how he was this good at modelling, from what he saw, this man could rival some big names in the international stage!!

He licked his thin lips and his gaze at YuTang heated up, it has been a long time since he became this curious about another artist!

Well, who was better than the self-proclaimed YuTang-otaku to get the information from...

ChunHua looked at the dejected face of YuTang who was asked to go out of the scene for a second coming towards him and whispered, " Auntie had wanted him to be model and he started modelling, essentially from the time he was born... even you have some shots with him from that time~", saying this, she took large strides towards YuTang who had his illusionary ears and tails drooping down from dejection.

Zhou Xuan who was left alone with a piece of explosive news, "...Wait!....what..?"

'How the hell don't I remember being in the same frame as him? Wait! Why do you know that?', he wanted to ask her, but remembering the crazed.. or was it that of a fangirl(?), anyway, when he remembered that look on her face whenever she talked about him, he sighed softly, it all seemed very normal...

He sent a message asking his secretary to find about this before he followed her, he still wanted to talk about the potential contract with the man!
