  The timeline now was when Wei Xu used the Host’s work for the first time. The Host had not taken the photo yet so she didn’t have any reaction when she saw the photo just now.

  Someone came to look for her to talk about some stuff so they had a chat. By now, the competition should have ended.

  Wei Xu won the first place, but the male protagonist won first place too……

  Ming Shu expressed that she was someone who had seen the world before. She had seen all kinds of fake female protagonists so this was nothing to her……

  “Qiaoqiao.”


  A guy walked over just as Ming Shu stood up. He had a handsome face and looked really vibrant when he smiled. He seemed really likable. Most importantly, he was tall.

  The Host was 1.68 meters and she was wearing heels. Even so, she was still shorter than him.

  “Why are you hiding here? I have been looking for you for a while,” the guy said. “What did Director Shang say to you just now?”


  This was Jiang Qiao’s friend, Wen Xiaqing.

  They were from the same school and had a good relationship. Wen Xiaqing was a model and he was quite a famous one.

  As for the Director Shang he was talking about, it was the director of a famous magazine. Something happened to their company and their assigned photographer resigned. Hence they reserved Jiang Qiao to help them the day after.

  Jiang Qiao and Director Shang had a partnership so after confirming the details of the job, she accepted his offer.

  “Helping him take photos the day after,” Ming Shu said. “Are they done outside?”


  “Oh.” Wen Xiaqing knew that Jiang Qiao and Director Shang had a partnership. He said carefully, “Qiaoqiao, don’t you think that the style of the work of the girl who won first place is similar to yours?”


  Whatever things we do, we will always have our own style. Photography is the same.

  However, it was not easy to create your own style.

  Although Wen Xiaqing was not a photographer, he spent a lot of time with Jiang Qiao and watched her take photos. Sometimes, when he had nothing to do, he would even attend some lessons with her. He knew a bit about photography.

  “It is not similar.” Ming Shu smiled. The work belonged to Jiang Qiao in the future.

  Every photographer’s style would change over time due to the photographer’s experience and many other reasons. Hence, if you compared it now, you would only think that it is similar.

  The photos that the fake female protagonist took were based on the time the work was released, not based on the time it was taken.

  For example, the photos that Jiang Qiao’s friend and she took were done a long time ago but never released.

  “Not similar?” Wen Xiaqing was puzzled. “What is it then? I think that it’s similar…… sigh, did I see wrongly?”


  Ming Shu took her bag and walked out. “Why do you care? Are you going to eat?”


  When they went out, the crowd had almost dispersed. Only the awardees were having interviews.

  “.…… thanks for acknowledging my work. I believe that I will be able to create better works in the future.”


  When Ming Shu walked past Wei Xu, she heard this sentence.

  She glanced sideways and her gaze landed on Wei Xu.

  Wei Xu raised her eyes and saw her. Their eyes met.

  Ming Shu gave her a standard smile.

  Wei Xu had guessed what was happening to her by now so when she saw Ming Shu, she felt a little guilty. She quickly looked away. “Thanks, everyone. I have finished my speech.”


  “Hey, Jiang Qiao!”


  Someone above called Jiang Qiao’s name.

  Ming Shu raised her eyebrows and looked over. It was the main organizer of this competition.

  He waved at Ming Shu and invited her over. “Come, come, come, Jiang Qiao, say a few words and encourage them.”


  Ming Shu waved her hands. “It’s okay, I need to rush to a meal.”


  “.……”


  Wen Xiaqing felt slightly awkward. However, he was wearing a mask now so no one recognized him.

  Once they left the venue, Wen Xiaqing said, “Qiaoqiao, is it really all right for you to reject someone like this?”


  “Did they look angry?”


  “.…… Not really.” They just asked her to speak a few words so it was nothing much. But, they would definitely feel slightly uncomfortable.

  Especially those who got the award. They would think that she was being arrogant and when they met her in the future, there might be conflicts.

  “That is unfortunate.”


  Wen Xiaqing: “.……”

  Wen Xiaqing felt that Ming Shu was being weird but he couldn’t place a finger on it.

  He still had work to do at night so someone came to fetch him after his meal with Ming Shu.

  Models were better than celebrities. They were not in that industry so not many people recognized them. That was why when Wen Xiaqing came out on normal days, no one would say anything about him.

  “Qiao-er, are you going to look at Xiaqing’s show?” The one who was driving was Wen Xiaqing’s manager. He was familiar with the Host.

  “No.” Ming Shu stood at the side of the road and shook her head.

  The manager made fun of her and Wen Xiaqing asked her to be careful. The two of them then left in their cars.

  Ming Shu returned to her home based on the Host’s memory.

  The Host rented a house with someone else. However, her roommate was not a reliable person. She would always bring someone back in the middle of the night and took the things that the Host bought without even asking her.

  With such a roommate, Ming Shu didn’t dare to put the snacks she bought in the kitchen. She placed them all in her room.

  Ming Shu checked the Host’s balance in her room. She wanted to move out.

  The Host could live in such a place, but she couldn’t.

  However, Ming Shu found out that the Host was really poor. She would send a portion of her earnings back home and the rest, she would use to buy pieces of equipment.

  It was really expensive to be a photographer. Thus, the Host had almost no savings. The balance in her card could only allow her to eat……

  [……]

  Ming Shu sighed. like she would need to work harder to earn money.

  Ming Shu looked at her surroundings. Although she had an unreliable roommate, the Host’s room was still quite big. There was a private washroom. The bed was on the inner section of the room and it was encircled by a crystal curtain.

  There was a row of shelves and a table outside. There were many cameras on the shelves.

  The Host’s money…… was probably all spent here.

  There was no way she could move, at least, not now.

  Ming Shu tidied up and lay on the bed immediately. She fell asleep.

  She woke up from the noise. She felt for her phone and looked at the time. 9pm……

  Noises came from the living room. It was rock’n’roll mixed with some shouting.

  The sound-proof effect of the room was not bad. She was sitting in her room but she could still hear the noise outside. This showed how loud the noise must be.

  Ming Shu opened the door. The noise almost deafened her ear. Two guys and two girls were playing on the sofa.

  The living room was a mess. Delivery packages, plastic bags, snack packets, beer bottles, cigarette buds were all over the floor.

  The air was filled with the smell of alcohol and cigarettes. It was distressing to the nose.

  One of the short-haired girls saw Ming Shu and greeted her. “You’re back? I thought that you were not back yet.”


  “Your friend?” The guy beside the short-haired girl winked. “Come and play with us.”


  “No, my roommate.” The short-haired girl glared at the man unhappily. “Don’t stare at her just because she’s pretty.”


  “Why would I……”


  Ming Shu leaned against the door with a smile. “It’s 9pm now. It’s bedtime.”
