Chapter 168 Taking Couple Photos

Xu Yao didn't dare to speak out loud at all, only daring to grumble secretly. Of course, everyone heard her.
Jiang Ciyou glanced at her, and Xu Yao immediately looked away, not daring to meet Jiang Ciyou's eyes.
Xu Yao was wearing a loose-fitting Mori-style long dress. On the other side, Shen Qingqing wore a lightweight wedding gown.
The gown featured a minimalist design. A white long silk dress, as smooth as water, wrapped around her delicate and graceful figure. Her back was almost entirely bare, revealing a slender, snowy back and exuding a unique, youthful sensuality.
Previously, Shen Qingqing almost always dressed like a young maiden. She loved wearing pink, kept her hair long, straight, and dark, and paired pink princess dresses with white leather shoes.
However, seeing her transformed in this new style was refreshingly striking.
Jiang Se praised her generously, "Qingqing, you look so pretty like this, just like a little fairy."
Shen Qingqing looked shy and replied, "Thank you, Teacher Jiang."
With that, Shen Qingqing turned her gaze toward Jiang Ciyou.
"Sister Jiang, there's a veil left here. Could you help me put it on?"
Jiang Ciyou readily agreed, "Sure."
She neatly placed the veil on Shen Qingqing, smoothed it out afterward, and praised, "It looks great."
Shen Qingqing stared into Jiang Ciyou's eyes, yet she couldn't detect the slightest hint of anything amiss. If Sister Jiang had truly been the Fourth Uncle's girlfriend once, how could she harbor no hostility toward her at all? Not only was there no hostility, but she was even taking good care of her.
Shen Qingqing's mind was in turmoil. By now, she had no idea what mindset to adopt when facing Jiang Ciyou.
After changing into their clothes, the four of them headed out.
The male participants had changed long ago and were waiting on the beach.
Seeing them walk over, the men all paused for a moment.
Shen Yibai's gaze lingered on Jiang Ciyou for just a moment before his cheeks flushed a deep crimson. After that, he didn't dare let his eyes rest on her any longer.
Jiang Se walked over to Si Yufeng, spun around, and asked, "Old Si, do I look good?"
Si Yufeng answered honestly, "You look good, just a bit old-fashioned."
As soon as he said it, though, he seemed to realize it might not be quite appropriate.
"Well, anyway, Teacher Jiang, you're not young anymore, so it suits you well enough."
Jiang Se gritted her teeth in anger. "Old Si, the way you are, you deserve to have your girlfriend dump you!"
Si Yufeng had no idea what he had said wrong and looked somewhat at a loss when he saw Jiang Se getting angry.

Jiang Se started muttering under her breath, "You call me old? Aren't you robbing the cradle yourself?"
Flustered by her anger, Jiang Se spoke without thinking. It wasn't until she finished that she remembered they were live-streaming. She quickly mumbled evasively, "The weather is quite nice today, haha..."
In the live stream chat:
[Did I just hear something I shouldn't have? Emperor Si has a girlfriend, and he's robbing the cradle?]
[Empress Jiang said his girlfriend dumped him, Emperor Si is going to cry again.]
[Our precious Qingqing looks so gorgeous in a wedding dress. No matter what, I'm holding high the flag for the Pure and Light CP, hoping the young master casts his heart vote for our precious Qingqing tonight!]
[YOU! SISTER! IS! SO! STUNNING!]
[Who understands the immense value of the younger brother blushing? He doesn't even dare look at our Sister You!]
[Shoot! Film them to death! Shove them onto the bed and film them!!!]

Bo Jinxiu saw Jiang Ciyou as well.
A loose white casual shirt hung casually over her frame, yet the perfect curves of her exquisite figure remained faintly visible underneath.
This sight reminded him of countless nights at the Green Valley Villa.
His expression turned rather dark, as if he were exercising extreme restraint. His fingers slowly curled into fists, but in the end, he looked away.

The assigned photographers arrived shortly. The production team had also thoughtfully provided numerous props.
Wei Tingfang and Xu Yao's Mori-style photoshoot was set in the jungle.
Si Yufeng and Jiang Se's traditional Chinese qipao shoot took place on the steep coastal rocks.
Bo Jinxiu and Shen Qingqing's wedding photos were arranged on the beach.
As for Jiang Ciyou and Shen Yibai's casual home-style photos...
The production team had somehow hauled an actual bed right onto the beach, with the legs of the bed even sinking into the seawater.
Jiang Ciyou's photographer immediately issued an order.
"You two, get up there."
Shen Yibai looked completely bewildered. "Get... get up where?"
Adjusting his camera lens, the photographer replied, "On the bed."
Shen Yibai's face instantly flushed to an explosive shade of red.
Jiang Ciyou walked over from afar. Seeing Shen Yibai's face burning a fiery red, she asked in surprise, "Yibai, do you have a fever?"
"I'm not horny—no, I mean, I don't have a fever."
Shen Yibai couldn't even speak coherently. "I'm just hot..."
The photographer finished adjusting the lens and looked at the two of them. "Teacher Jiang, Teacher Shen, we're about to start shooting. Let's get moving."
Jiang Ciyou was open and natural, without a hint of awkwardness. She walked straight to the edge of the bed and sat down.

Shen Yibai blushed and fidgeted like a shy young bride. Dragging his feet, he finally made it to the bed and sat down as well.
The photographer began taking pictures of the pair.
After shooting for a bit, he directed, "You two are sitting too far apart. Teacher Shen, Teacher Jiang, get closer."
Jiang Ciyou shifted a little toward the center, and Shen Yibai edged closer too. Naturally, his face grew even redder.
On the other side, Bo Jinxiu and Shen Qingqing were also taking photos on the beach.
Their photographer was directing them as well.
"Teacher Bo, stop walking away. Come over here a bit—not to the left, to the right."
Shen Qingqing felt a deep ache in her heart because she could tell that Bo Jinxiu was completely absent-minded during the photoshoot, with his mind entirely focused on Jiang Ciyou's side.
When they had entered the small dark room to choose photography styles earlier, she had fallen in love with the wedding dress at first sight. She never expected she would actually be matched with the Fourth Uncle.
Of course, Shen Qingqing knew the Fourth Uncle had entered last and had no choice in the matter. Still, she felt this was an opportunity given to her by the heavens.
She dreamed of wearing a wedding gown and standing beside Bo Jinxiu.
Her heart was filled with boundless anticipation and intense nervousness. She wore the gown and wore the veil, yet from beginning to end, Bo Jinxiu hadn't truly looked at her even once.
She had so many things she wanted to say to the Fourth Uncle, but constrained by the live broadcast cameras, she could only endure in silence for now.

Elsewhere, Bo Jinxiu and Shen Qingqing were only a few meters away from where Jiang Ciyou and Shen Yibai were shooting.
The photographer on Jiang Ciyou's side was working energetically.
"Teacher Jiang, Teacher Shen, don't be shy. Be more intimate."
"Teacher Jiang, lean your head on Teacher Shen's shoulder. Teacher Shen, hook your right arm around Teacher Jiang's shoulder."
Shen Yibai slowly reached out his hand, but he was timid and hesitant.
"Sister, can I hug you?" Shen Yibai probed cautiously.
Jiang Ciyou just wanted to finish the task quickly and return to the tent to rest. After all, enduring this scorching sun was rather miserable.
She leaned right in without hesitation.
Shen Yibai's body stiffened noticeably. But the next second, the corners of his mouth curled up, and with a sweep of his long arm, he pulled Jiang Ciyou into his embrace.
Seeing this scene, Bo Jinxiu abandoned Shen Qingqing and walked straight toward them...
