Translator: Sissy That Walk

Street snaps were different from cover shooting, natural was the key, yet good street snaps were like covers to a degree, they were all with high quality. Street snaps, especially for those big brands, photographers must had the ability to look for the right timing and setting, and of course, they must be good at retouching too.

Luckily, those requirements were all He Bai’s forte, he was so good at picking the right timing and setting, his retouching skills only were too perfect from his last life. This tight schedule now looked less tiring.

They took several snaps as warm up in the morning, now the sun was too bright, they decided to take a break at a cafe, waiting for the afternoon and sunset.

Finishing the last bite of his cheesecake, He Bai changed to work mode, he took out his laptop and began to retouch the snaps he just took for Liu Lange.

He Bai upgraded his gear after he made some money, it was so worth it, now his working efficiency had improved a great deal. Jobs like this one particularly required him to retouch the photos as soon as possible, because Liu Lange’s official account would like to update his moments live, therefore, when everybody else was relaxing and resting, he needed to work.

Liu Lange and his assistant walked past He Bai, seeing his own face on the screen, Liu Lange was intrigued to watch the process, he sat next to He Bai and looked at how He Bai’s hands moving swiftly on the keyboard.

Liu Lange had worked with other numerous photographers, he had rarely seen one with such great speed and taste, especially this He Bai was so young, he had not even graduated yet. This young man, he was really something!

Liu Lange exclaimed in his heart, a young genius He Bai was. He saw He Bai adjust the background shade and lighting, increasing some shade on the right corner, decreasing some shade on the left corner to make a more contrast effect. Liu Lange was so intrigued to see He Bai’s work process, it was like witnessing a makeover, the quality soon became better.

Liu Lange nodded in admiration. Good stuff!

That was brilliant, if he had not seen the original photo, no way would he imagine the finished photo was retouched, it was so naturally done, natural was the best form of beauty. No wonder those women swarmed to book this He Bai, this young man would become somebody soon.

“Are you seeing anyone?”

He Bai was still working on the photos, he blurted out hearing this question, “Yeah, I stood him up on Valentine’s day, gotta make up for it when I come back.” With it he opened a new photo, then he realized what he had said and he froze on the spot.

He turned looked at Liu Lange, emmm, when did this Liu Lange sit next to him?

Liu Lange, on the other hand, sitting comfortably and said, “Haha, I’ve only got too much experience on this field, a present, a surprise, and a little acting would do. They are all soft-hearted, my wife especially so.”

“Are you married, Mr. Liu?” He Bai was so surprised, he decided to forgive Liu Lange on asking a private question.

“Yes, I am, my wife isn’t working in show business though, she wants to keep it low-key and doesn’t allow me to announce it. I always feel like a boy toy who is having an affair with her.” Liu Lange was very open.

While Liu Lange’s team all shot a warning look at him after hearing he told He Bai this secret they had working so hard to hide, they all sighed in the heart, “boss, is it that hard to keep your own secret?”

“Ah~”, replied He Bai, and he was quite amused by Liu Lange, he felt like Liu Lange leading a fabulous life in show business, while he was actually a husband who obeyed his wife sheepishly at home.

Liu Lange ignored those warning looks, he continued “I figured it’s a good idea to tell more people that I’m married, maybe one day someone would accidentally share it on an interview or something, then I can make a whole announcement about me and my wife. Speaking of which, He Bai, I heard you have a lot of Weibo followers, don’t you?”

He Bai looked at him, “May I ask your wife’s name?”

Liu Lange saw He Bai was not offering help, he was a bit crestfallen, then he said a name known nationally for her outstanding contributions on space technology.

“May you a happy marriage, it’s good to be a boy toy.” He Bai moved to a seat next to the window and he isolated himself with several cushions and pillows.

Wow, that woman working for the government, anyone spreading her privacy was merely courting death. That Liu Lange, so shrewd, how dare he think about using He Bai to spread the news.

Seeing He Bai’s reaction, Liu Lange exclaimed in his heart how come this young child knew who his wife is, he must have read a lot of news.

He Bai buried himself in work. He got a call from Xu Qing that afternoon, asking him whether He Bai could buy some souvenirs for his mother, He Bai promised him happily and he noted it on his memo in case he forgot about it.

Another half an hour had passed, the sun was slowly setting, He Bai was about to email Liu Lange’s assistant the retouched photos when he felt someone was pounding the window.

He raised his head and looked up.
