Chapter 124 Borrowing your photo to post on WeChat Moments

"Huh? Why? You haven't even tried it!"

"It's simple," Lin Yu pointed to his forehead, "a little-known fact: the same area of ​​the human brain is responsible for singing, driving, and cooking."

"So generally, if someone can't do two things well, there's a high probability that they also can't do the other thing well."

"Huh? There's such a saying?"

Ruan Yunxian's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Of course," Lin Yu nodded seriously, "It's science."

"You're lying!" She hugged the cushion tighter. "What 'funny facts' means is the knowledge you just made up, right?"

""

"Unfortunately, no." Lin Yu smiled.

Ruan Yunxian lay on the recliner in disbelief, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

In the afternoon, at the convention center.

After resting for a noon, Ruan Yunxian had regained her energy.

Ruan Yunxian changed her clothes again before leaving.

Her ponytail was tied high behind her head, with a few stray hairs falling along her swan-like neck and swaying gently in the wind.

Unlike the previous loose short-sleeved shirt, the white short-sleeved shirt clung to her body, outlining her neat shoulder line and slender waist, showing off her graceful figure.

A sporty jacket tied around the waist, paired with a pleated skirt, gives off a playful vibe.

The seemingly casual outfit is actually full of subtle details, paired with light makeup, making her look pure, beautiful, and lively.

Ruan Yunxian enthusiastically led Lin Yu around, and even after the museum closed, they were still reluctant to leave.

Lin Yu also gained a lot, taking many photos of cosplayers and successfully adding many of them on WeChat after they asked for the photos back, thus expanding his potential customer base.

Ruan Yunxian was somewhat unhappy about this.

"Senior, you've been taking pictures of other people all afternoon, you haven't taken any pictures of me."

"It's different. I'm not serious when I photograph them, but I'm most serious when I photograph you."

Lin Yu explained that he was still very clear about separating public and private matters, and he clearly distinguished between his attitude towards clients who had paid and his attitude towards trial packs.

"Look if you don't believe me." Lin Yu pulled up the photos and asked Ruan Yunxian to compare the differences between them.

"This one—" she pointed to a photo of her cosplaying as Frynn, "You took the composition very seriously, and you also carefully looked for the lighting and everything."

"That's for the photos!" Lin Yu said. "They paid me on the spot, I can't just give them a cheap imitation, can I?"

"What about this one?" She flipped to another picture of General Thunder.

"These guys are together."

Lin Yu didn't want to either, but the other party's sincerity was truly overwhelming.

I never imagined there would be so many opportunities at comic conventions. If I had known earlier, why would I have taken on any other part-time jobs?

Upon closer inspection, Ruan Yunxian found that it seemed to be as Lin Yu had said; apart from the few photos being quite ordinary and not showing much effort, she didn't pursue Lin Yu's act of taking on private work during work hours any further.

"Okay, I'll reluctantly forgive you."

Ruan Yunxian then handed the camera to Lin Yu.

"How many images do you need to edit in the next few days?" she asked.

"There are about a dozen people here, and in total, there are probably fifty or sixty photos."

"Add yours, and it'll be about two hundred."

"So many?" Ruan Yunxian wrinkled her nose. "Do you even have time to fix mine?"

"Of course, your priority is higher."

Ruan Yunxian's lips curled up slightly as she walked ahead of Lin Yu, her steps much lighter than before. Her ponytail swayed behind her head, and the coat tied around her waist moved with it.

"That's more like it."

As the crowds at the convention center gradually thinned out, the organizers' staff began cleaning up the venue to prepare for the work arrangements to come.

Lin Yu hung the camera back around his neck: "Let's go, it's time to go back."

The two walked towards the exit. When they passed a stall selling souvenirs, Ruan Yunxian stopped, looked at the items, and picked up a small keychain.

"Senior, look at this."

It's a chibi-style keychain featuring Rikka Takanashi, with a picture of Rikka in a cute two-headed figure.

"Isn't it cute?"

Ruan Yunxian held up the chibi version of Rikka in front of Lin Yu. The two-headed chibi figure had a cute expression on its round face and its short limbs were striking its signature pose.

"Cute," Lin Yu said.

"Then this is for senior." Ruan Yunxian reached out and hung the keychain directly on Lin Yu's bag.

"Huh? This isn't what you wanted—"

"Hehe! I'll hang this up!"

Ruan Yunxian hung a chibi-style Yuta keychain on her bag, which was clearly a pair with the one she had just hung on Lin Yu's bag.

"Hey, shouldn't you be the one hanging this?"

"I like."

The two continued walking towards the exit.

Ruan Yunxian slowed her pace and walked beside Lin Yu. The two walked together, and the two round little figures on their backpacks swayed side by side, occasionally bumping into each other gently.

"Ah! I had a lot of fun today." Ruan Yunxian stretched as she looked at the sunset.

"Senior, do you think we can still hang out together like this in the future?"

"Why not?"

"Because—" she looked down at the road beneath her feet, "I feel like you'll be very busy in the future. With so many people joining today, you'll probably get a lot of photography jobs, right? And then you won't have any time left."

"No way. With our relationship, if you have any needs, I'll definitely prioritize meeting them."

"real?"

"real."

"That's good."

"It's settled then." Ruan Yunxian's lips curled up slightly. "You can take on other people's jobs from now on, but you can't forget about me."

"I can't forget it."

"So, what are your priorities?"

"Contact me anytime you want to take photos."

"at any time?"

"at any time."

"What about in the middle of the night?"

"Alright."

"If I ask you to come out for a photoshoot in the middle of the night, will you really come?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment: "It's best not to."

After having another free dinner with Ruan Yunxian, Lin Yu set off to return home.

Back in his rented room, Mr. Lin, exhausted from a long day, continued his work.

Taking photos during the day is one thing, but editing them at night is a huge undertaking.

Although girls at anime conventions generally use elaborate and heavy makeup to enhance their appearance, this cannot completely replace the function of photo editing.

Putting everything else aside, just adjusting the lighting and color tone alone would take quite a while.

Lin Yu first started adjusting Ruan Yunxian's photos. This was easy; Ruan Yunxian had a good foundation, and Lin Yu personally oversaw her makeup and styling. These were also the photos Lin Yu took most carefully out of all the photos.

Therefore, the pressure of the later work is not too great.

After finishing a portion, Lin Yu packaged it up and sent it to Ruan Yunxian.

Lin Yu: Did you receive it?

Ruan Yunxian: Yes, there are seniors! The seniors really didn't lie to me!

When Ruan Yunxian saw the picture Lin Yu sent, she realized that he had kept his word and prioritized processing her share.

Lin Yu: By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor.

Ruan Yunxian: Senior, please tell me what's on your mind.

Lin Yu: This still needs your permission. Can I choose a few of your photos to post on my WeChat Moments?
