Romance Variety Show: The aloof and beautiful fourth female lead is always coveted.

This pair of people needed to stand on the rocks to take photos.

The rocks were uneven and slippery, so Su Yi'an would lean to the side and hover her hand below Bai Nianchu's elbow almost every time she took a step.

This is a posture that indicates you are ready to support her at any time.

"Be careful, the rocks can be a bit slippery."

Bai Nianchu didn't hesitate and took his hand.

Her dress was a bit long, and a corner of the hem was wet from being splashed by the waves.

Su Yi'an was very perceptive and immediately bent down to help her lift the hem of her skirt, the movement so natural it seemed like a habit etched into her bones.

The photographer saw this scene through the viewfinder and was suddenly inspired.

"Ms. Su, bend your knees slightly, keeping your posture a little lower than Ms. Bai's, and place your hands on her waist."

"Teacher Bai puts her arms around Teacher Su's neck, yes, yes... then tilts her head slightly and looks at the camera."

"Teacher Su, just keep an eye on Teacher Bai. Move your bodies a little closer, that's right, just like that..."

Su Yi'an obediently supported Bai Nianchu's waist. Even through a layer of clothing, he dared not use too much force, for fear that the warmth of his palms would seep through the fabric and burn her skin.

The photographer took a few pictures, then had them change to a more intimate pose.

"Does Teacher Su work out regularly? Can I hug her with one hand?"

Su Yi'an smiled and said, "Okay."

"OK. What about Teacher Bai? Is that acceptable?"

Bai Nianchu nodded.

"Then you guys take turns, watch your step."

Holding someone with one hand requires a lot of arm strength and core strength.

The live stream audience thought Su Yi'an would have a hard time.

Unexpectedly, he supported Bai Nianchu's knees from behind, his wrists wedged around the back of her legs, and easily lifted her up.

Su Yi'an still used a gentleman's hand—his palm was curled into a fist, and he didn't touch her thigh.

It is both safe and unoffensive.

Wow... that's some serious boyfriend material!

This pose is so suggestive, it's even more suggestive from behind.

[Our faces are so close... I can't take it anymore ૮₍♡♡₎ა]

Hurry up and kiss, just do it for me!

The photographer also felt that their backs looked more atmospheric, so he had Su Yi'an turn around halfway.

"Teacher Bai, you can put your hands on Teacher Su's shoulders. Neither of you need to look at the camera; just look at each other."

Su Yi'an's arm steadily supported Bai Nianchu's legs, holding her in his arms with one hand. Their faces were very close, and a gentle breeze blew Bai Nianchu's stray hairs near his nose, carrying the faint fragrance of sea salt and jasmine.

Sea salt smells like the sea breeze, and jasmine is the fragrance on her body.

Su Yi'an's Adam's apple bobbed, but she didn't feel any weight on her arm.

On the contrary, he felt that Bai Nianchu was still too lenient.

"Are you alright?" From this position, Su Yi'an needed to look up at her. "Is this position tiring?"

Bai Nianchu glanced down at him and said, "It's alright."

The one who should be tired is not her, but the man holding her.

Su Yi'an chuckled softly, her ears turning slightly red.

This was the first time he had ever been so close to a girl.

Whether it's helping her lift the hem of her skirt, holding her hand as she climbs the rocks, or the way I'm holding her now.

These were all experiences I had never had before.

"That's enough, teachers," the photographer suddenly interrupted. "Let's try other poses."

Afterward, the photographer had them try several different poses.

He discovered that using a composition with the woman on top and the man on the bottom to photograph this couple created the best atmosphere.

Perhaps it was because the girl's aura was so unique, like a moon hanging in the sky, aloof and distant. The boy, with his gentle personality, naturally became a soft, supporting light standing beside her.

Even a faint glimmer of light longs to fall beside her, to be the moon's only starlight.

The photographer has a new inspiration.

He had Bai Nianchu sit on a slightly higher rock, leaning forward, her bare toes lightly resting on Su Yi'an's thigh. Su Yi'an was in a half-kneeling position, one hand on Bai Nianchu's ankle, the other hand lightly touching her calf.

"It feels like something's missing..." The photographer pondered, then his eyes lit up. "I've got it! Mr. Bai, lower your head a little more, then gently hook Mr. Su's chin with your fingertips and lift his face toward you."

After Bai Nianchu followed the instructions, the photographer exclaimed that it was perfect.

The comment section also applauded the idea:

[Wow, that's awesome... I want that kind of female-in-charge vibe!]

[Leopard and cat, the tension is off the charts!!]

[Male lead, Belike: I'm your trophy too! *^_^*]

The photographer had a great time taking pictures, and I had a great time seeing the photos...

The sounds of camera shutters and waves mingled, and their breaths intertwined as they drew closer.

The filming ended, and the sun gradually set.

This rocky beach isn't far from the villas where the guests are staying; it's only a ten-minute walk back.

"Are you cold?" Su Yi'an took his coat out of her bag and handed it to Bai Nianchu. "Put this on, it's a bit windy now."

"Thanks."

The sea breeze ruffled the stray hairs at Bai Nianchu's temples, and when she raised her hand to gather them, she couldn't manage to cover them all.

Su Yi'an instinctively wanted to help her, but halfway through reaching out, she restrained herself and withdrew her hand.

I almost forgot, the "couple" photoshoot is already finished.

He had no reason to make such intimate gestures again.

Finally, Su Yi'an simply said considerately, "When we get back tonight, I'll make you some hot soup. It's easy to catch a cold if you stay out in the sea breeze for too long."

Bai Nianchu turned her head to look at him.

The setting sun gilded Su Yi'an's features with a fuzzy golden edge, making her eyes and brows as gentle as a pool of melting honey.

"Have you always been this attentive?" she asked.

Su Yi'an was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"It depends on the person."

He lowered his eyes to look into Bai Nianchu's eyes, his voice very soft.

"I only do this with you."

In the evening, the guests gradually returned from filming.

In the living room on the first floor, five sets of portrait photos taken that afternoon were being played on a projection screen. The photographer selected two of the best photos from each set of guests for them to admire and vote on.

The group placed at the front was Su Yi'an and Bai Nianchu. The photographer chose two photos: one of Su Yi'an holding Bai Nianchu with one arm and looking at each other; and the other of Bai Nianchu stepping on Su Yi'an's thigh and hooking his chin.

Both of these are works that the photographer is very satisfied with, especially the second one.

The girls gathered around in amazement.

"Nianchu, the photos you took are so beautiful!"

"That's right... the atmosphere is great too."

Jiang Meng stared wide-eyed: "Holy crap, the first one! Holy crap, the second one!"

It was entirely a substitute for the words of the viewers in the live stream.

The male guests didn't say a word for a long time.

He just stared at the photo on the screen, wishing he could take its place.

The later groups that were awkwardly paired together were rather indescribable. Their postures and expressions became increasingly stiff, and their body movements were also—they seemed to want to keep a galaxy between themselves and the female guests, practically wearing the words "avoid suspicion" on their faces.

They managed to turn a couple's photoshoot into a solo portrait.

After the voting results were announced, there was no doubt that Bai Nianchu and Su Yi'an's group won first place with an overwhelming number of votes.
