Inside the Lemon Tree Company's photography studio.

Even with the air conditioning on full blast, Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi were still drenched in sweat while filming. They finally understood why Chen Fei had said it would be very tiring.

Putting aside the high temperature and heavy down jackets, the constant posing and changing clothes alone was enough to exhaust them.

In particular, a static movement of walking forward required the two people to jump back and forth in place, and they jumped for more than ten minutes but still could not meet Li Hengkang's requirements.

Fortunately, their assistant, who had seen many filming sessions, gave them some guidance and helped them get through the action smoothly.

I thought I could finally rest for a bit, but before I could even catch my breath, another outfit was handed to me. Aside from touching up my makeup, there wasn't a single second of rest...

"This set is OK!" Li Hengkang checked the materials again, and after confirming that there were no problems, he waved to them.

Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, immediately took off their fleece coats and handed them to their assistant, then stepped onto a nearby chair to sit and rest for a while.

But they had only taken a few steps when Li Hengkang's devilish voice came over: "Don't rest, there's only one sweater set left, it'll be done soon."

"The last one, the last one! You've said it four times already, and you're still using this trick!" Shen Shaoting yelled at the top of her lungs, but still obediently stopped.

Looking at her fierce yet determined expression, Li Hengkang couldn't help but smile, immediately understanding why Chen Fei wanted to pursue them.

With such perseverance and such a free-spirited and unrestrained personality, even as ordinary friends, we would surely have many interesting interactions in our lives.

Shen Shaoting watched as Li Hengkang, instead of getting angry after she scolded him, laughed. She felt like she was punching cotton; she was resentful but helpless.

"This is really the last set, and Jiang Che just told me that they are already on their way back," Li Hengkang said with a smile. "And Chen Fei even brought you gifts. If he sees you slacking off when he gets back, he might get angry and give the gifts to me and the assistant."

Whenever the models were tired and wanted to rest, Lee Hang-hong would use excuses, such as:

"The next outfit is the best; you'll look stunning in it."

"It's okay, it won't be hot anymore. The next set of clothes will be relatively cooler."

"These photos might be seen by some client later, and they might ask you to shoot photos of designer clothes."

"..."

However, these excuses didn't work on Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi. Although they continued filming, they clearly lacked the burning passion.

When Li Hengkang said, "Take good pictures, Chen Fei will be very happy to see your good photos later," Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi were like they had been given a shot of adrenaline, and their condition immediately returned to its peak.

Having photographed countless people, Li Hengkang immediately understood. Later, when they started to relax, he would bring out "Chen Fei" to revitalize them, and it always worked.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard that Chen Fei had returned with gifts, the two girls immediately perked up, ran to the fitting room to change into new clothes, wiped their sweat and touched up their makeup, and immediately began filming.

"Okay! Jingyi, soften your gaze a bit more! Yes! Shen Shaoting, turn to the side and relax your shoulders!"

Li Hengkang's voice echoed in the empty studio as the final outfit was being photographed.

Although the two were filming very seriously, they kept glancing at the doorway, hoping to see their hard work when Chen Fei returned.

Finally, after a long and agonizing wait, Chen Fei and Jiang Che appeared at the entrance of the studio.

Shen Shaoting was the first to notice and immediately whispered to Lin Jingyi beside her, "Jingyi, pay attention, Fei-ge is here!"

Then, the two immediately focused their attention and fully cooperated with Li Hengkang's filming, eager to show off all the skills they had learned that day.

Chen Fei looked at the two girls working diligently under the lights, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He walked over to his assistant, who was waiting nearby, and asked in a low voice, "Hello, which set are they shooting now?"

The assistant glanced at the record and replied with some admiration, "This is the last set. The two of them are really working hard; they've barely rested."

Hearing this, Jiang Che, who was standing next to him, also showed a surprised expression.

She knew how demanding Lee Hang-kang was of his work. For a novice model with no experience, it was already difficult enough to perform the actions and expressions he required, let alone shoot so quickly.

Finally, Li Hengkang finished reviewing the last set of photos with satisfaction and announced loudly, "OK! Excellent! Thank you everyone, the shoot is now complete!"

Before the words were even finished, Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi, without even bothering to change out of their heavy sweaters, ran straight to Chen Fei like two cheerful little birds.

Their cheeks were flushed from the long hours of filming, and their noses were covered in fine beads of sweat. Their big eyes blinked as they stared at Chen Fei, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

"Where's the gift? Where's the gift?" Shen Shaoting, impatient by nature, couldn't help but reach out as if asking for it back. "Brother Li said you bought us a gift!"

Chen Fei suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You guys are really well-informed."

Then, turning around, she took out two small, exquisitely packaged gift boxes from the large bag of clothes she was carrying and handed them to them respectively, saying, "This is your first official photoshoot, thank you for your hard work. On the way back, I saw a handmade jewelry shop in the park, so I bought these as gifts for you."

"Thank you, Fei-ge!" Shen Shaoting happily accepted the gift, while Lin Jingyi, standing to the side, blushed even more at the sight of the gift being handed to her, momentarily forgetting to react.

Seeing this, Shen Shaoting snatched Lin Jingyi's share, stuffed it into her hand, and patted her on the shoulder with amusement: "Are you silly? Quickly thank Brother Fei!"

Lin Jingyi finally snapped out of her daze and hurriedly took the box, saying, "Thank you, Brother Fei!"

Looking at them, Chen Fei smiled and said, "Go change your clothes and get some rest. I'll treat you to a big meal later."

The two girls nodded and walked towards the fitting room with the gift box.

Jiang Che checked the time and said to his assistant, "Xiaoya, thank you for your hard work today. Go home on time. I'll take care of the rest of the clothes."

Then he gestured to Chen Fei and Li Hengkang before walking towards the row of clothes racks.

Soon, only Chen Fei and Li Hengkang remained near the camera.

Li Hengkang looked down at the photos taken that day, one by one. Suddenly, he spoke calmly, "Chen Fei, I have something to tell you. Yesterday morning, I confessed my feelings to Jiang Che for the sixth time, but I failed again."

Chen Fei was slightly taken aback and looked at him, wondering why he brought up this topic now.

Li Hengkang smiled, his eyes not showing the expected frustration, but rather a sense of relief: "But I don't know why, this time I suddenly had a change of heart and decided to stop pursuing her. I'll resign at the end of the month."

"What do you mean? What happened?" Chen Fei asked, puzzled.
