The huge studio was set up in four different styles of scenes, two indoor and two outdoor. The outdoor scenes had a turquoise blue swimming pool with a few sun umbrellas and a few beach chairs set up next to it. There is also a garden full of colorful flowers, small round tables, small wicker chairs, small swings, picnic baskets and small cashmere carpets, all the things that a garden should have, there is no shortage here.

Indoor scenes were arranged at both ends of the studio, one end is a very modern minimalist style living room, all the furniture is black and white, floor-to-ceiling windows scrubbed very clean, brilliant sunlight cast in, pure white leather sofa gilded with a layer of golden light, bringing people a warm feeling.

At the other end was a magnificent and elegant baroque-style living room, with all the furniture with flowing gold-colored lace, the ceiling and columns depicting exquisite patterns, and the floor covered with a soft reddish-red carpet with bird and flower motifs. Every corner of this room exudes a heavy sense of age.

With these four scenes, you can find the right location for whatever style of photo you want to take, which shows how much effort the crew put into recording this show.

Bonnie had the contestants come up one by one and draw lots to determine their order of filming, and gave them the same amount of time to consider which scene, style, type of service, and partner they should choose. Once they had thought it through they had to tell Bonnie what they thought and put it on record, and no matter how brilliant an idea they came up with afterward, they couldn’t change it again. This was fair to everyone.

Whether their choices are wise or foolish, Bonnie and Acheson don’t interfere because they want to see if the contestants have the fashion taste a supermodel should have.

Zhou Yunsheng drew the fifth position, neither good nor bad, his eyes moved back and forth between Bonnie and Gustav, and finally coalesced on Bonnie’s beautiful and unassuming face. It was said that men and women work together, although he was a gay man, this should not apply, but for taking hard photos, a man standing next to a beautiful woman would always increase the attractiveness exponentially. In his head he had already chosen Bonnie’s outfit and styled her well, and set the location for the shoot.

He was confident that he and Bonnie would be able to produce a very classical style of photographs, with glamor, style and elegance being the themes of the shoot.

Very well, it was decided. He nodded, fingertips playing with a strand of hair around the corner of his forehead.

Bonnie, who had been silently watching the teenager, hid a soft smile and gloated, “Looks like Kitten decided to pick me, sorry boss.”

Gustav’s smile was as gentle and elegant as ever, but inside he was having a hard time. He was tempted to walk over and chat with the kitten for a while, to gain his favor and become his partner, but that would be too striking and all the contestants would start targeting him.

Merciful God, please tell me what I should do. If possible, please give me a chance to get closer to him. Just after praying, he suddenly realized that God was very averse to homosexuality and he would not get any help from Him.

So I’m supposed to believe in the Devil, and I’d trade my soul for him if he could get me what I want. He wiped his face, trying desperately not to look dejected.

As Gustavo was in a million pieces, Ivan poked the teenager in the waistband, “Who are you going to pick?”

“I’ll go with Bonnie. She and I will definitely make a wonderful picture.” Zhou Yunsheng took a pencil and slid it quickly on the sketchbook, restoring the scene in his mind onto the paper with great drawing skills, especially the image of Bonnie in her court evening dress, which was simply lifelike.

John took a long shot at the sketchbook, secretly marveling at the teenager’s versatility. Even as a layman, he could realize just how much solid grounding and skill the drawer needed in order to produce such a realistic, intricate, and ornate work in just a few minutes.

The teenager is like a treasure that keeps on getting surprises as he keeps on digging. Viewers will surely be more enamored with him.

Ivan snatched the sketchbook and tsked and admired it for a moment, then tore the drawing out and hid it in his backpack, saying forcefully, “You can’t pick Bonnie, she’s mine. Why do you have to have a female partner? A male partner can bring out the style you need too. Pick Mr. Acheson, so we can avoid being compared to Bonnie and split the difference.”

In fact, it didn’t matter who Zhou Yunsheng chose, the modeling business was too easy for him to handle. He readjusted the scene in his mind and nodded, “Alright then, I’ll pick Mr. Acheson.”

“Wonderful darling.” Ivan hugged him warmly.

Seeing this, Bonnie shook her head regretfully, “Well, Ivan persuaded him to change his choice and the kitten is yours.”

Gustav was quick to use his hand to press down the corners of his mouth so he wouldn’t laugh like a fool. Ivan is great, full of positive influences on kittens, maybe I should save her for last. He considered it extremely seriously.

Half an hour passed and Bonnie glanced at her watch, stood up and clapped her hands, “Okay, all stop, now come over here and discuss the shooting schedule with me in the order of the shoots. Remember, once you’ve decided on a shooting partner and theme, no one is allowed to change their mind again.”

The players responded in unison, then walked over with their written notes to discuss them with Bonnie. Gustavo leaned back in his leather chair and listened quietly without comment.

Without a doubt, all the men chose Bonnie (except for Romeo, the geek) and all the women chose Mr. Acheson (except for Ivan, the geek), and once everything was finalized for the photo shoots, Bonnie and Gustavo each stood up and shot with both sets of contestants at the same time, which saved a lot of time.

Zhou Yunsheng was in the fifth place of all the contestants, but after choosing his partner, he became the second. Time was a bit tight, but it wasn’t difficult for him at all, he had already picked out the outfits he wanted and brought them with him, while explaining to the stylist what he should do for himself and Gustav later on.

If the clothes are not well matched, the scene is not suitable, and the styling is bad, half of the hard photos will be ruined, and the other half will depend on the individual performance. So this competition is not so much a competition of hard photo advantages and disadvantages, but rather a competition of fashion taste. In order to select the best and most potential contestants, the program group can be said to be painstaking.

While he was rambling, Gustav was standing by the pool posing with a female contestant. In order to attract the attention of this fashion industry predator, seventy to eighty percent of the female contestants chose to wear bikinis. They understood that the perfect keto-body was the best weapon to seduce a man.

But the truth was the complete opposite of what they had imagined, Gustav was completely uninterested in them. Being one of the top male models in the world, no one could see his impatience. He cooperated very well, and whenever the female contestants asked him to, he was able to put on expressions and movements that would satisfy them. But the truth was, he hated the fact that he had a machine that regulated the flow of time, and he would skim over all of them without hesitation, and then freeze time forever in a single minute with his kitten.

Being so nervous, the first female contestant didn’t do very well, and the photographer took a lot of effort to guide her. Gustav barely managed to contain his anxiety. All the female contestants gathered around to watch the shooting, but Kitten just didn’t show up, and he felt that the sexy swim trunks he had deliberately chosen were for nothing.

The thirty shots were finally done, and he immediately put on a towel and headed indoors, just to be greeted by the teenager trotting up to him, his platinum blonde curls quivering in a very cute way.

His breath caught and he asked softly, “Romeo, have you chosen your costume and look?”

“It’s all been chosen, please follow me.” Zhou Yunsheng duly revealed a nervous expression.

“Don’t be nervous, just think of me as a new acquaintance.” Gustav naturally put his arm around his shoulder, smiling amiably on his face, but his heart was beating so violently that it almost popped out of his throat.

“Okay.” Zhou Yunsheng nodded his head obediently.

The two walked into the dressing room and Gustav asked, as if offhandedly, while changing, “I heard you didn’t want to pick me as a partner before, why?”

If this question is not answered well, it is very likely to offend a key person who can influence the victory or defeat of one’s own match, so kissing ass is very necessary, but also to do so sincerely and without a trace. Zhou Yunsheng’s eyelids lowered to avoid the man’s extremely aggressive gaze, mumbling, “Because, because if I work with Mr. Acheson, I will definitely be very nervous, so nervous that I don’t know where to put my hands and feet.”

At the words he darted a quick glance at the man, his cheeks so red they could drip blood.

Is this shyness? That’s cute! How can you be so cute? I’m the one who doesn’t know where to put my hands and feet! Gustav wailed inwardly, growing clump after clump of barren grass that would give him no peace ever if he didn’t get the teenager’s favor.

I wanted to take the kitten into my arms and kiss his little mouth so hard it swelled with tears of joy in his sea-blue eyes.

No matter how nasty the inner thoughts were, Gustav’s appearance was always gentle and elegant. He put on his clothes and patted the teenager’s head affectionately, soothingly saying, “There’s no need to be nervous, I’m just like you, nothing more than an ordinary person. I am 193cm tall, weigh 78kg, 28 years old, no bad habits, favorite sport is snooker, favorite color is gray, favorite food is steak ……”

He introduced himself in detail and then held out his hand, “So that you know me well enough to think of me as a friend rather than a distant idol.”

Zhou Yunsheng did not expect Gustav Aitchison to be so approachable. He was slightly stunned for a split second before he gripped the other party’s hand back and smiled coyly.

“Then you also introduce yourself in detail, so that it is conducive to increasing understanding to cultivate tacit understanding. Only partners who work well together can take wonderful hard photos.” Gustav immediately climbed up the pole.

Finally, he was taking the first step towards becoming a friend, and he was very excited inside.

Zhou Yunsheng thought that this was a necessary means for Gustav to calm the players’ emotions, so he didn’t even think otherwise. The two changed their clothes and headed towards the dressing room.

Zhou Yunsheng picked out a set of morning dress for himself that could only be worn by English noble men, a silver gray jacket with cashmere striped suit pants, a gray checkered double-breasted waistcoat and a pure white stand-up collar shirt, and then tied on a silk neckerchief with black flowers on a silver background.

Now he was just like a young lord of noble birth, elegant and refined and eye-catching in every way.

Gustav eyed him for a long moment before casually surveying himself. He was also wearing a three-piece suit, but the workmanship was far less ornate and elaborate than Kitten’s, and from the style it appeared to be a valet’s outfit.

Zhou Yunsheng explained with a red face, “Because I wanted to capture the rigor and lethargy, the antiquity and vivacity of 18th century aristocratic life, the two of us are now in the makeup of a pair of masters and servants. I am your master, can you accept that?” He looked carefully up at the man with aquamarine peach eyes. He knew where this shell’s most powerful charms lay, and had no qualms about letting it facilitate him in every way.

Instead of showing displeasure, the man smiled and performed a courtly salute, saying, “At your service, my lord.” In fact, instead of feeling offended, he was pleased with the setup.

Zhou Yunsheng appropriately exuded a look of gratitude.

The two were handsome enough with just some primer, and then both headed for the baroque living room.

“How would you like to shoot, my lord?” Gustav asked respectfully. If he could, he even wanted to hold the kitten’s fingertips and kiss the back of his buttermilk-white hand.

His gentleness and poise caused the female contestants to let out screams one after another. Zhou Yunsheng’s face flushed red, his eyes became more watery due to his nervousness, and he hesitantly said, “I’ll sit in this chair, you stand beside me, and we’ll take a picture first to see the effect. There’s no need to pose in a special way, just play your respective roles and make sure to let people see who we are at a glance.”

“Yes, my lord. You may be seated.” Gustav immediately bent down to clean up the ornate high-backed chair, then took the kitten’s hand and hauled him over.

Worthy of being the highest priced male model in the world, he was so quick to get into the scene. Zhou Yunsheng was satisfied with the man’s performance and pretended to be apprehensive, “Okay. From now on, I’m your master and you’re my servant, when I’m taking pictures, it’s possible for me to forget everything, so please forgive me if I’m rude.”

“No matter how You treat me, my loyalty and love for You will never change. But whenever you need me, I will immediately appear by your side to solve your problems. It is my greatest honor to be at your side at all times.”

Everyone thought Acheson was acting, only he knew that these words had been brewing in his heart for a long time, just waiting for the day when he could spit them out to his beloved.

Now very content within himself, he stepped back and bowed his head slightly in a gesture of submissive admiration.

Zhou Yunsheng sat down and folded his slender legs, his hands were clasped on his knees, his platinum blonde hair, which was heavily coated with gel cream, was brushed to the back of his head, revealing his delicate and extraordinary features. His jaw was slightly lifted, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he looked very arrogant.

At this moment, he was a noble son who had no one in his sight and acted according to his preference. And standing behind him, the handsome and elegant servant was silently gazing at him with helpless but doting eyes.

This is a still picture, but it seems to tell a lot of stories hidden behind the two. The slightly dimmed light gave the story a bit of bitterness and heaviness that was hard to describe.

“Absolutely marvelous! I love the nostalgia!” The photographer screamed after just one photo.

There it was again, Romeo always managed to get the best shot in the shortest amount of time, damn it! The crowd of onlookers were crazy with jealousy, especially Emily, who had long since listed the teenager as her number one enemy that needed to be eradicated.

“Then we went over to the dining table for the shoot. Although it’s an art photo, I want to get the warmth and naturalness of a lifestyle photo. What do you think of this idea?” Zhou Yunsheng tilted his head to look at the man beside him.

“Master, you have a great idea. What do you need your servant to do for you?” Gustav bent and bowed, somewhat addicted to pretending. He would rather be the kitten’s servant for the rest of his life, if he would give his heart to him.

“Pour me a drink or something.” Zhou Yunsheng replied uncertainly. He was used to finding his feelings while filming, and he didn’t have a clue on exactly what to do at the moment.

The two came to the huge dining table. Thanks to the omnipotent props team, they had not only prepared bowls, plates, knives and forks, bread, butter and vegetable salads, but even placed several bottles of red wine and a large can of milk. If the contestants really wanted to take a few pictures of them eating, they could just pick and choose.

Zhou Yunsheng sat down on the main seat and raised his red wine glass to gesture at his servant.

Gustav immediately poured him a drink, but then suddenly stopped.

Zhou Yunsheng raised his eyebrows and his gaze was extremely dissatisfied, as if asking, “What are you hesitating for? You stupid servant.”

The loyal servant bowed slightly and smiled, “Master, you still have four months before you reach adulthood, so you can’t drink right now. Let me pour you a glass of milk, drink more milk to grow taller.”

He poured himself a glass of milk and handed it over as his master glared at him in disgust.

As the two interacted, the photographer clicked and clicked the shutter. The two men tilted their heads and bent their backs, one childishly arrogant and the other mature and modest, and their gazes met each other as if they could collide with each other in the air to create a gorgeous flower. Their incomparable handsome appearance and natural tacit understanding make these photos express a kind of inexplicable intimacy and weird ambiguity.

When the teenager finished drinking the milk, the man immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe the milk stains around his mouth. The teenager frowned slightly, showing a proud expression of ‘you’re so annoying’, but the obediently raised jaw spoke without words of his attachment to the man. The man’s eyes were even deeper and heavier, and even the bright light couldn’t penetrate the intense feelings that were silently brewing in his pupils. Both face sideways, deep three-dimensional facial contours fascinating.

The photographer captured the image, zoomed in and carefully observed every detail. The lighting is perfect, the modeling is perfect, the expressions are perfect, and the emotions expressed in their eyes are even more perfect. The lightness of the feelings overflowing through the photo can easily touch any person’s heart.

The photographer had no intention of selling corruption, but he had to live with it, and this photo is just the right amount of corruption, and it’s brilliant to the core.

He quickly adjusted his focus, only to realize that the two had left the table and were slowly making their way toward the checkroom.

“Master, your neckerchief is askew.” Gustav bent down to help the teenager adjust his neckerchief, his fingers lingering for a moment on the small knot of his throat.

The knot in the throat was a man’s fatal place, if it wasn’t necessary for filming, Zhou Yunsheng would never tilt his neck to expose his weakness, especially since this man had intentionally or unintentionally touched it twice. He couldn’t control himself for a moment and slapped the man’s hand away, tugging back on the man’s bowtie to pull him closer, and for the first time, his navy blue eyes converged on innocence, revealing a dangerous sharpness. He silently warned the man to stop touching his forbidden territory.

Gustav’s surprised mood only lasted for a moment before being replaced by unrestrained excitement. It turned out that the kitten was not only cute, but also had sharp claws and teeth, and whoever angered him would have to endure his reckless retaliation. This temperament was really energizing!

How in the world could such a unique, contradictory, yet beautiful creature exist? It was practically made for him! With a low chuckle, Gustav maintained his awkward stance with his bowtie being tugged by the teenager and extended his arms, trapping him in the corner of the wall and the embrace. Even with the chokehold, he was still in the stronger position.

The teenager did not show any weakness and raised his jaw more and more proudly, which made the two of them, who were already close to each other, even closer, and could clearly smell each other’s scent between their breaths.

Gustav’s hands propped up on the wall floated a vein, he was desperately holding back the desire to take the kitten into his arms and love it, which made his tense-to-the-limit body as tall and shapely as a statue. The teenager was at a disadvantage, but the bright eyes of the unruly man made him the only color in this cramped and obscure side of the space.

This intense collision of feelings; this madness that has been suppressed to the limit and then is about to explode; this grotesque twisting and reversing of nobility and humility, fidelity and betrayal, creates an incomparable photograph.

“Wonderful, wonderful to the core! Not one of the thirty shots was wasted! You guys were fantastic!” The cameraman shouted in excitement. It was clearly the first time the two had worked together, but the feeling of tacit understanding was as if they had known each other for hundreds of years. When they stood together, all the things around them faded to become their companions, and the dark current that surged between them isolated a separate space for them that was not disturbed by anyone.

The photographer wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if they became a couple one day.

Zhou Yunsheng quickly pushed the man away and apologized for his earlier actions with a red face, “I’m sorry Mr. Acheson, I’m not quite used to letting people touch my neck.”

“That’s okay, I was being abrupt. But it’s never been touched?” Gustav caught Gustav off guard with a follow-up question.

“Yes, I’m sorry.” Cho Yoon Sung wasn’t lying, Romeo was indeed a little virgin.

A hint of pleasure seeped out of Gustav’s coffee-colored eyes as he rubbed the kitten’s hair and said warmly, “It’s okay, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have touched your sensitive area without your consent, I’m the one who should say sorry.”

The two smiled at each other, finally shaking off the awkwardness. At that exact moment, Emily approached in a long gown made of lace and spoke with a smile, “I’m sorry to interrupt, but Mr. Acheson, it’s my turn to shoot.”

Her gown was pure black and translucent, a beam of sunlight shone over and easily saw the sexy underwear inside. Her pace was very brisk, which made her chest full of two groups of non-stop trembling, half-covering the degree of hot than wearing a revealing bikini do not know how many times higher.

All the men in the studio were staring at her with either subtle or revealing glances, except for Gustav, who, instead of being half as hot as he was, was a little cold.

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” He smiled politely and detachedly, bidding the teenager goodbye with eyes that were nonetheless so gentle and loving. It made Emily’s heart twist with jealousy. She wondered a little about the sexuality of the two men, but ordered herself not to think too much about it. How could the manly Mr. Acheson be gay!

Emily’s attire for her partner was a high-fashion suit, solid black with silk lapels, which was also paired with a solid black shirt without a matching tie. Seeing Mr. Acheson emerge from the changing room, she surveyed him with admiring eyes for a moment before reaching out to try to undo the top few buttons of his shirt for him.

Gustav immediately took a few steps back and unbuttoned himself. What exactly was this woman up to he could see right through, and if memory serves, she was currently Hayden’s girlfriend?

His expression was still gentle and modest, but his eyes became more cold and detached, and on closer inspection one could even detect a hint or two of impatience and contempt. Emily had been out in the world since she was a teenager, and she still had this bit of eyesight, so she hastily apologized to him, and then took the initiative to avoid stepping aside.

She had sensed the difference in Acheson’s treatment of Romeo, and it made her moody and anxious, so during the shoot, she tried to carry out her plan of seducing Acheson, using her most sexually-attractive parts of her body to intentionally or unintentionally grind against his body and ruffle his nerves.

She was doubly disappointed that not only did Acheson do nothing about it, but he even gave her a morose stare when he finished taking the picture. She didn’t want to experience that creepy feeling a second time.

Maybe I was being too blatant and making it difficult for Mr. Acheson, after all, with all those cameras around him, he couldn’t show favoritism for any of the contestants. How could he not like me? I was more beautiful than Bonnie.

The heroine is a heroine, quickly regaining her lost self-confidence and ready to build on it.
