CHAPTER 419: CHAPTER 388: LOVING THE TRANSFORMING SELF_2

She pressed the shutter, trying different angles and continuously taking photos, almost about to chase Ning Shuo down.

"Hey, young lady, what are you doing?" Lin Huai Shu’s voice suddenly appeared behind her.

Qiao Lech was startled, and her camera almost slipped from her hands. If it weren’t for the strap around her neck, it would’ve surely crashed to the ground. Frightened, she hurriedly clutched the camera and then turned to look at Lin Huai Shu.

It was the first time Lin Huai Shu had seen her show such an unhappy expression towards him. He smiled and said, "Did I scare you?"

Qiao Lech didn’t say anything, holding her camera tightly.

Lin Huai Shu said, "Don’t worry, if it breaks, we’ll just get another one."

Qiao Lech glanced at him but still didn’t speak.

"Are you mad?" Lin Huai Shu bent forward slightly, looking into her eyes.

Qiao Lech avoided his gaze, and slowly replied, "No."

"Next time I’ll give you a heads-up before showing up, so as not to scare you," Lin Huai Shu said gently.

Qiao Lech looked down at her camera and said, "It’s okay."

"Then can I take a look at what you’ve shot?" Lin Huai Shu asked. "Is it okay to see?"

"Sure." Qiao Lech took the camera strap off her neck and handed the camera to Lin Huai Shu.

Lin Huai Shu took it and had a look.

Qiao Lech’s photography skills were top-notch, flawless; even a random shot turned out great.

But... why are all of them Ning Shuo?

Lin Huai Shu was puzzled.

"So many pictures of Ning Shuo." Lin Huai Shu’s voice was a bit airy.

Qiao Lech nodded, "He’s an artist from your company."

Lin Huai Shu gave her a glance, strangely unable to refute. He looked through the photos for a while before finally finding pictures of others.

"Aren’t you happy?" Qiao Lech asked, "They say you two are very close."

"We’re close?" Lin Huai Shu flipped through the photos with a laugh, "Like in a romantic relationship kind of close?"

"Then, you guys..." Qiao Lech looked inquisitive.

"Young lady, you’re still a kid, what are you imagining? I’m very straight, okay? I like women," Lin Huai Shu clarified. "Don’t believe everything online. The company just loves to market that way, disregarding even the boss’s reputation."

Qiao Lech lowered her head with a slight smile.

Seeing her smile, Lin Huai Shu glanced at her and said, "Lech, didn’t you take a single picture of me? I dressed so nicely today."

"I did," Qiao Lech replied. "Flip a little further back."

"Where are they?"

Qiao Lech moved a bit closer to him and said, "A little further back."

Lin Huai Shu flipped through the pictures, saying, "These photos are well taken. Why didn’t you major in photography in college?"

"I prefer studying law," Qiao Lech replied.

Lin Huai Shu chuckled and said, "Ah, Qiao Lv. Has a nice ring to it."

Qiao Lech looked down at the photos, not speaking, her hands tightly clasped behind her back.

"Your photography skills are already excellent, no need to learn more," Lin Huai Shu commented as he flipped through a few more pictures.

"There it is," Qiao Lech said.

"Huh? Me? I didn’t see it," Lin Huai Shu said, flipping back.

And then he saw it.

He looked at the photo of Qin Xia.

Then he looked at himself, a blurred figure in the bottom right corner.

Lin Huai Shu: "......"

"There are more in the back," Qiao Lech said.

Lin Huai Shu hurriedly flipped further.

In several consecutive shots, he was either in the bottom right or the bottom left corner. Not a single one was clear; they were all blurred.

Lin Huai Shu looked at Qiao Lech.

Qiao Lech lightly coughed, moving aside a bit.

"Any more?" Lin Huai Shu asked.

Qiao Lech touched her hair, glanced around the venue, and said guiltily, "No more."

"So, I don’t deserve to appear properly in a photo?" Lin Huai Shu asked sincerely, with a hint of pitifulness.

"Of course you do," Qiao Lech said. "I just haven’t officially taken one of you yet."

"Really?" Lin Huai Shu asked, looking at her.

Qiao Lech nodded.

"Then take a couple of me now," Lin Huai Shu suggested, handing the camera back to her, just as he noticed one of his artists passing by.

The socially anxious artist didn’t want to greet the boss, pretending not to see him, and tried to slip away.

But he was immediately called out by the boss.

The socially anxious artist stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around, performing a clearly fake look of surprise: "Mr. Lin, you’re here, I didn’t see you."

Lin Huai Shu looked at him with disdain and said, "Don’t say you’re from Lin Entertainment’s film department when you’re out there; what kind of acting is that? It’s embarrassing."

The socially anxious artist said nothing, smiling awkwardly.

Qiao Lech watched them, pressing her lips to stifle a laugh.

Lin Huai Shu handed his phone to the socially anxious artist and said, "Take a picture of us together."

"Okay," the socially anxious artist said, taking the phone with both hands.

Qiao Lech looked at Lin Huai Shu.

Lin Huai Shu moved a bit closer to her and said, "Can we take one together?"

Qiao Lech was surprised for a moment but then slowly nodded and said, "Sure."
