[Rural] Wildfire Burns Spring (Complete) - 18

Chapter 27 The act of playing along

was getting out of control. After shooting the white wedding dress that her cousin Song Jiayin had customized, Hu Xiaohu insisted on changing into another wedding dress while Luo Erbao was changing into other groom's attire. The photo studio loved customers like this, as it lured them to take more photos and increase spending—why not? So, whatever Hu Xiaohu wanted to wear, they made her wear it. She practically wore all of the studio's signature wedding dresses. If Luo Erbao hadn't reminded her that two hours were up and she had to rush back to give her brother Da Bao a massage, Hu Xiaohu might have changed into three or five more wedding dresses...

The photo studio selected twenty digital photos and stored them on Luo Erbao's new phone. Hu Xiaohu, probably with ulterior motives, also had the photo studio store the same twenty digital photos on her phone.

On the way back, Hu Xiaohu was as excited as a real bride who had just had her wedding photos taken, her blushing cheeks and joyful expression visible to Luo Erbao… However, no matter what, Luo Erbao couldn't bring himself to feel anything for this beautiful girl. Perhaps the environment was wrong, or perhaps their auras clashed; in any case, not a spark ignited…

“Promise me something, okay? If you promise, I'll make you cornbread dipped in honey every day…”

Hu Xiaohu said, grabbing Luo Erbao's arm as they hurried back.

“Promise you what…”

Luo Erbao instinctively pulled his arm away.

“Tell my cousin that these digital wedding photos were just a promotional tactic by the studio, they only got us to take them…”

“Why? You were the one who asked to take them…”

Luo Erbao was confused and didn't want to cooperate.

“If I had asked, my cousin might have had some reservations…”

“What reservations? You meant well!”

Luo Erbao seemed to be deliberately teasing her.

"It's out of kindness, but sometimes, kindness can be misunderstood—I'm afraid my cousin will misunderstand me. Please, just go all the way and say that the photo studio let us take a few random pictures so my cousin could see the wedding photos in advance… That way, no one will misunderstand—please, just tell my cousin like I said…"

"Just say it if you want, I won't say anything, okay?" Luo Erbao adopted a neutral stance.

"That's good, that's good! Also, when you go back, just say the photo studio saved the digital wedding photos to your phone, don't tell my cousin that I also have them on my phone…"

"Why—why are you always so mysterious…"

Luo Erbao was now a little confused about what Hu Xiaohu was up to.

"I'm worried that after my cousin sees our wedding photos, you'll delete them, and when I want to see them myself, I won't be able to find them anywhere…"

Hu Xiaohu only gave this reason.

“Yeah, why are you keeping those photos?”

If Hu Xiaohu hadn’t said anything, Luo Erbao really wouldn’t have realized it.

“After all, it’s her first time taking wedding photos—even though it was just for her cousin to try on wedding dresses, and they were all just for practice—but she just wanted to keep them as memories for the future…”

Hu Xiaohu hugged her phone tightly, as if she were holding a treasure—that expression made Luo Erbao feel very incredulous.

"Whatever you want, it's all just for show anyway. Keep it if you want, delete it when you're done..."

Luo Erbao thought to himself, "What's this little brat thinking? Could she have feelings for me? Is she trying to use these dozen or twenty wedding photos to talk about what will happen between us in the future? —What can she do? It's all just for show, all for show. What can she do to me with these few wedding photos? Let her be..."

"Brother Erbao, you agreed! That's great, thank you so much..."

Hu Xiaohu's face flushed with excitement, a red like the natural, smooth, and bright red of a ripe apple...

"I can't disagree—if I don't agree, I won't get to eat cornbread with honey..."

Luo Erbao had no choice but to say that...

"Hehe..."

Hu Xiaohu's laughter grew even brighter and cuter...

Back home, exactly two hours had passed. Luo Erbao quickly ran upstairs to turn Luo Dabao over and massage him, change the soiled mattress, and only after everything was done did he come downstairs to report to his sister-in-law, Song Jiayin, about the trip to the photo studio.

"Cousin, I don't know what happened at the photo studio today. As soon as they heard that Erbao was the groom's stand-in and wanted to try on the groom's attire, they even forced me to try on your wedding dress... And that's not all, they also said they wanted to take some digital photos of Erbao and me to bring back for you to see—we couldn't resist their persistent pleading, so we had to agree..."

This Hu Xiaohu had completely rearranged the story according to her own wishes.

"Really? Let me see it then..."

Song Jiayin listened without comment.

"It's all saved on Erbao's phone..."

Hu Xiaohu wanted to clear herself of all responsibility.

Luo Erbao had made a prior agreement with Hu Xiaohu, so he remained silent until he mentioned having photos on his phone. Only then did he pull them out and show them to his sister-in-law, Song Jiayin.

Song Jiayin should have just kept quiet; once she saw them, she immediately cried out… Her words shocked everyone present!

Chapter 28: Unparalleled Secret Satisfaction

. It should be said that Hu Xiaohu was the most nervous when showing Song Jiayin the digital photos, as if it were all her idea, a result of some inner desire. She only thought about what she could leave behind and what she could unlock through the wedding photos, but she didn't know how her cousin, Song Jiayin, would react after seeing her try on her cousin's wedding dress and actually take digital wedding photos with the groom's double. If she were really blamed, she would definitely be in a very passive position, possibly even being scolded and kicked out of the house...

However, when Song Jiayin took the phone handed to her by Luo Erbao and saw the two young people in the photos, posing in various poses and taking about twenty wedding photos, she actually exclaimed, "My God, you two really look like a match made in heaven!"

Luo Erbao just scoffed, thinking it was nonsense. Hu Xiaohu felt like she had been struck by lightning, and she was immediately shocked, not knowing whether her cousin's praise was sarcasm or a brilliant irony...

"Cousin, judging from the photos, the custom-made wedding dress is alright, isn't it..."

Hu Xiaohu could only weakly probe for the truth. As Hu Xiaohu spoke, she glanced at Luo Erbao's expression, which betrayed no clue whatsoever. Her heart pounded with anxiety, completely unsure of what to expect.

"I really didn't expect these wedding dresses to be so incredibly beautiful! Especially since you two wore them and took photos in person, it's even more vivid and makes it easier to imagine how stunning my wedding photos will be..."

Song Jiayin actually praised this approach highly.

"Yes, I felt at the time that maybe the photo studio had their reasons for having Erbao and me do this, so I cooperated with them and took these photos..."

Hearing her cousin say this, Hu Xiaohu became excited and quickly moved closer, snuggling against her cousin like a little bird, adding this as she spoke.

“Besides the white one I ordered, this green one, this red one, and this beige one all seem pretty good. When I actually have the photoshoot, I’ll take a few pictures of all of these!”

Song Jiayin actually further affirmed the sample wedding photos.

“No wonder the photo studio forced Erbao and me to take these; it really achieved the effect they wanted…”

Hu Xiaohu seemed even more cheerful, even managing to start a new topic.

“What effect?”

Song Jiayin was a little confused.

“It’s that when my cousin sees the sample photos, she wants to take more pictures, and then the photo studio can make more money!”

Hu Xiaohu immediately revealed the answer.

“It’s not about the money. Getting married is the most important event in a person’s life. Being able to record and preserve this most sacred and important moment through wedding photos is very valuable and has great significance…”

Hearing Song Jiayin say this, it seemed that she didn’t blame Hu Xiaohu at all for taking the initiative and forcing Luo Erbao to take these digital trial makeup photos.

"I knew my cousin would think that way. When I get married in the future, I'll follow her example and take some nice wedding photos to preserve the most beautiful memories of this important event in my life..."

Hearing her cousin say this, Hu Xiaohu finally felt relieved. She felt that not only was she not blamed, but she was also praised by accident. The secret joy in her heart was indescribable.

Perhaps only Luo Erbao could understand the excited expression on Hu Xiaohu's face—her goal had finally been achieved. She had used Luo Erbao as her object of fantasy, and even dragged him into taking wedding photos—her satisfaction, her excitement, her exhilaration—despite this, Luo Erbao secretly resolved to keep his mouth shut and never reveal the truth to anyone—this was his promise, and his integrity. As for what else this girl might want to gain from him in the future, he'd wait and see…

And when Song Jiayin said, "Okay, I've seen them all, they look good. I'll use these wedding dresses for real photos next week—okay, you can delete them now…"

only Luo Erbao could truly understand the extent of Hu Xiaohu's secret elation—luckily, she had also saved a copy herself; otherwise, wouldn't all those carefully planned images have vanished instantly!

Dinner that day was especially delicious because Luo Erbao saw his favorite cornbread dipped in honey—he took a bite, and mmm, it tasted amazing! He couldn't help but glance at Hu Xiaohu's face—damn, she looked like a flattered little wife welcoming her triumphant husband home! Luo Erbao quickly looked away, afraid of being misunderstood and unable to satisfy her desires later…

“Erbao, did you delete those wedding photos on your phone?”

Song Jiayin asked just as they were finishing dinner.

“Deleted! They were just mock photos anyway. My sister-in-law told me to delete them, so I deleted them all… What's wrong, sister-in-law?”

Luo Erbao was a little confused by Song Jiayin's sudden question.

"Oh, it's nothing. I suddenly wanted to look at those makeup trial photos a little more. Since they've been deleted, let's just leave it at that..."

No one knew whether Song Jiayin's sudden mention of this issue was to check if Luo Erbao had actually deleted them, or if she really wanted to look at those stand-in wedding photos again...

"Then, should I go to the photo studio tomorrow and ask them for the original drafts..."

Luo Erbao said this in an attempt to please Song Jiayin.

"No need, I've already called and had them delete all the negatives..."

Song Jiayin left Luo Erbao speechless with these words and went upstairs first...

Luo Erbao slowly turned his head to look at Hu Xiaohu's expression—what he saw was a look of relief at surviving a disaster...

Chapter 29 Joy and Happiness

Although there was no smoke of gunpowder, no bloodshed, Luo Erbao seemed to sense his sister-in-law's "disregard" for the Hu Xiaohu and Hu Xiaodie sisters—as if they weren't women, incapable of any emotions or desires, and that they were just her servants here, to be obedient, without desires or hopes, and never to have any other thoughts...

And Hu Xiaohu seemed to have a certain kind of... Shang Ling was adept at capturing and leveraging her attraction to the opposite sex, seemingly always able to sprout like a seed growing from a crack in the rock, always able to grow its branches and leaves wherever it bends. Perhaps she also dreamed that one day she too could blossom and bear fruit…

Luckily, she had a wedding photo taken with Luo Erbao during their makeup trial on her phone. Hu Xiaohu cherished it dearly, treating it like a treasure, afraid it would be accidentally deleted or discovered and removed by her cousin Song Jiayin. She even secretly went to a small service shop at school and had it burned onto a disc herself, probably wanting to preserve it forever…

And unable to contain her excitement, she secretly shared it with her younger sister Hu Xiaodie in bed at night.

“Look, don’t Luo Erbao and I look like a married couple?”

Hu Xiaohu was almost carried away with pride.

“Sister, I really envy you…”

Her younger sister Hu Xiaodie’s voice was still so melancholy.

“What’s there to envy? I’m just another version of you—look, who can tell from the photo whether it’s me or you…”

Hu Xiaohu’s voice was still so cheerful and lively.

“But why don’t I feel any joy like you, sister…”

Her younger sister, Hu Xiaodie, seemed completely unaffected.

“You know, it would be great if you could get out of those shadows…”

Hu Xiaohu said.

“Sister, I think I’ll never have another sunny day in my life…”

At this point, she actually started wiping away tears.

The next day, Hu Xiaohu, in a cheerful mood, took Luo Erbao to the wedding planning company. After confirming the ceremony time, transportation arrangements, setup for the cannon salute, and hosting of the reception, she also discussed with them the bridal suite decorations proposed by her cousin, Song Jiayin. The other party's service was truly excellent, offering almost everything one could need, and all services were provided in person. Through phone communication, Song Jiayin persuaded Hu Xiaohu to ultimately opt for a rental arrangement, returning the decorations to the wedding company a week after the wedding.

As for the wedding invitation list, Song Jiayin didn't need to worry about it at all. The school, considering the bigger picture, viewed Luo Dabao and Song Jiayin's wedding as a prime opportunity for promotion, so the school covered all the banquet expenses. Therefore, the guest list, the media invitation list, and the wedding speeches were all drafted by the school and sent to the relevant departments and individuals. After discussing with Song Jiayin, the school only reserved two tables for twenty people each, meaning Song Jiayin could invite a maximum of twenty relatives and friends to the wedding.

Song Jiayin quickly calculated that, apart from Luo Erbao, the butterfly twins, a few close friends, and some of Luo Dabao's classmates, at most one or two relatives from Luo Dabao's hometown would come, and hardly anyone from her own family would be able to attend. Therefore, two tables would be enough...

With the wedding day fast approaching, preparations were almost complete, except for the wedding photos. Just the day before Song Jiayin felt her herniated disc was almost healed and she could go for the photos, the college fulfilled her earlier request—to provide Luo Dabao with a high-end wheelchair for the wedding. Even though Luo Dabao was in a vegetative state, he still needed to attend, so a wheelchair was essential, and it needed to be presentable in front of the media. The college really took it seriously—through their efforts, they managed to purchase a rare, high-end electric wheelchair from abroad. Its comprehensive functions and high quality delighted Song Jiayin. She had Luo Dabao try it out, and it was incredibly convenient. Still relying on his hands? How could that be comfortable? Forum reputation guaranteed! High-grade silicone video of Fan Bingbing's genitals, molded to a highly realistic shape, with soft and delicate skin! Built-in large-particle protrusions closely resemble female physiological structure, providing a more realistic experience... with a controlled and irresistible feel! Click to enter. Taking advantage of

the good weather, Song Jiayin had Luo Erbao carry Luo Dabao to an imported high-end wheelchair and dressed him up like he would at a wedding. They then pushed him around the house in the wheelchair, making it look very convincing. Song Jiayin felt much better.

The next day, Song Jiayin finally left the butterfly twins at home while she and Luo Erbao met with the photo studio, hoping to finish the wedding photos within two hours...

Upon arriving at the studio, the costume designers, makeup artists, and photographers were all busy. It seemed this special "big client" would bring significant benefits and post-wedding impact to the studio—they knew this was a special couple attracting attention from many top media outlets. If the wedding photos were good, they would inevitably be featured in various media reports, hanging in their new home or displayed elsewhere—therefore, the studio... That morning, all other business was turned down, and all efforts were focused on the wedding photoshoot for Song Jiayin and her stand-in groom, Luo Erbao…

Chapter 30: Distracted Thoughts

At this point, Luo Erbao clearly realized that when he came to try on makeup with Hu Xiaohu last time, they had only worn wedding dresses as a practice shoot and taken a few sample photos. Now, it was completely different—first, the makeup. His sister-in-law, Song Jiayin, was naturally charming and beautiful, and with the bridal makeup, she looked even more ethereal than a fairy, more glamorous than a star! This made Luo Erbao's heart flutter.

As for Luo Erbao, the stand-in groom, he was treated like a real groom. The makeup was so good that when he looked in the mirror, even he was startled—was this really him? How did he suddenly become so handsome that he didn't even recognize himself!

When Song Jiayin put on her custom-made wedding dress and Luo Erbao put on his groom's suit, they walked into the photography studio and stood in front of the virtual backdrop. All the staff seemed excited, as if they all thought they could take a fantastic set of wedding photos…

When the photographer asked the groom to take the bride's hand, Luo Erbao was genuinely embarrassed because his hands were soaked with sweat. He quickly asked a staff member for tissues to wipe them before taking Song Jiayin's hand. After the hand-holding photo was taken, the photographer asked the bride and groom to take a "gazing-out photo." To be honest, despite having had so much contact with his sister-in-law Song Jiayin, he had never been so close, face-to-face, staring intently into each other's eyes!

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, but Luo Erbao had never truly looked into his sister-in-law's eyes before, because he always felt that doing so would cause her to misunderstand, thinking he was behaving indecently or harboring malicious intentions… But this time was completely different. It was his sister-in-law who had asked him to be her stand-in, and it was the photographer who had asked him to stare intently and affectionately into his sister-in-law Song Jiayin's eyes—so, Luo Erbao mustered his courage and began to look directly into his sister-in-law Song Jiayin 's shimmering eyes…

But after only a second or two, before the photographer could even press the shutter and capture the bride and groom's deep, loving gaze, Luo Erbao couldn't take it anymore and immediately shifted his gaze elsewhere…

“The groom can't be distracted! He needs to concentrate and convey his boundless love for the bride through his eyes—come on, try again…”

The photographer immediately stopped shooting and made the request.

So, Luo Erbao's gaze returned a second time, trying to truly concentrate and gaze at his sister-in-law's alluring eyes for a longer period—but it didn't work. His sister-in-law's eyes were too beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful! Her eyes were too seductive; the moment their eyes met, it was like a laser, almost melting his heart… Luo Erbao's second attempt to gaze failed again.

"The groom's performance is no good—he can't be evasive, he can't be insincere, he can't act like a stranger—you are the bride and groom about to worship heaven and earth and enter the bridal chamber; you've already gone through the courtship and are about to enter the wedding hall. If your eyes can't even meet, the photos will definitely look fake! Even with post-production, without a basic model, it's all in vain…"

the photographer launched into his theory.

"Photographer, don't rush. Take a break, let me talk to him for a bit, and once he understands, you can continue shooting…"

Song Jiayin, seeing Luo Erbao's state, knew he was experiencing psychological distress. If she didn't communicate with him promptly, it would waste a lot of time. So, Song Jiayin told the photographer to take a break, then pulled Luo Erbao aside, turning his back to the cameras and lights, and whispered to him, "What's wrong with you today? Why can't you even look at your sister-in-law's eyes?"

"I don't know what's wrong with me, maybe it's because your sister-in-law's eyes are too beautiful..."

Luo Erbao really didn't know how to answer his sister-in-law, Song Jiayin.

"Since they're so beautiful, just look at them properly. I didn't know you couldn't even look at your sister-in-law's eyes before. If I had known, I would have practiced with you beforehand—but time is so tight, there's no time for practice now

. We only have two hours, and almost an hour has passed. If you don't get into character soon, we really won't be able to shoot today!" Song Jiayin explained the current situation to Luo Erbao.

"But, I didn't mean it!"

Luo Erbao looked innocent and apologetic.

"Or is there something wrong with you—your sister-in-law asked you if you have other thoughts about her?"

Song Jiayin's questions became sharp.

"What do you mean by other thoughts?"

Luo Erbao was a little confused.

"It's that kind of thinking—wanting to have a romantic relationship with my sister-in-law!"

Song Jiayin actually hit the nail on the head, pinpointing Luo Erbao's problem.

"No..."

Luo Erbao trembled upon hearing this—how could his sister-in-law see right through him!

"No, really no? That's good. If you really don't, you'll be open-minded and pure, only seeing taking wedding photos as a big favor to help your sister-in-law realize her dream. In that case, what can't you do?"

Song Jiayin immediately hit the nail on the head regarding Luo Erbao's inner turmoil...

Hearing his sister-in-law Song Jiayin's words, Luo Erbao was stunned...

Chapter 31 A Torrent of Deep Affection

"What's wrong with you? Say something!"

Seeing Luo Erbao stunned, Song Jiayin nudged him, reminding him.

"Oh, I understand, I won't dare to do it again..."

Luo Erbao was like a child who had made a mistake, admitting his error.

“It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s that I have to be brave—your sister-in-law isn’t a stranger, no matter how you look at her, she won’t blame you—think about all the times your sister-in-law has interacted with you, when has she ever blamed you…”

Song Jiayin, realizing her words might have been too abrupt, quickly smoothed things over.

"Okay, I'll do my best..."

Luo Erbao thought to himself—should he treat his sister-in-law like a stranger or like a lover? If it were Hu Xiaohu, he wouldn't feel flustered or worry about any negative consequences—because he had absolutely no feelings for her. So, when he came to try on wedding dresses that day, he posed however the photographer asked, and when they asked him to look at each other, he didn't hesitate at all, staring at her for ages without any problems...

But today, it was completely different with his sister-in-law. The moment he looked directly into her eyes, he felt an urge to pounce on her, pin her to the ground, and kiss her wildly, even to act like a beast...

However, if they didn't finish the wedding photos quickly, there were still many things to do later. How could he let his own situation delay even more important matters? He had to make a choice in his mind—either treat his sister-in-law like a stranger, looking at her with empty eyes, but not actually looking at her at all…that might be one option…

or, treat his sister-in-law completely as his lover, gazing at her deeply with bold, intimate, passionate, and infinitely loving eyes, just like his sister-in-law had said earlier. Even if she felt that he had truly developed feelings for her, she wouldn't blame him; she would just think it was a necessary action to achieve the desired effect in the photoshoot!

In the end, Luo Erbao simply chose the second option—treating his sister-in-law as his lover—and fully immersed himself in the process: “Okay, sister-in-law, let the photographer start. I promise I won't mess things up again…”

Having figured it out in his mind, he no longer hesitated in his actions. Having made up his mind, Luo Erbao treated his sister-in-law as if she were his bride. He wrapped one arm around her slender waist, gently pulling her back, and then gazed intently into her eyes with deep affection—staring, staring intently, never letting go, pouring out all the passionate love he felt for her through his intense gaze… In

that instant, Song Jiayin was overjoyed—this Luo Erbao really understood immediately, quickly changing the situation and getting into the mood, and from his gaze, she understood his fiery and passionate love for her. Song Jiayin immediately felt that if this weren't a public place, if this were some corner of her home, if Luo Erbao's eyes had held such a burning gaze, she would probably have become a beast on the verge of exploding, doing something utterly depraved without a second thought…

However, for some reason, Song Jiayin felt no aversion to Luo Erbao's passionate embrace and intense gaze. Yes, on the contrary, she felt an indescribable joy—the intense love she gleaned from Luo Erbao's eyes instantly dissolved into understanding and affection. Therefore, her gaze in return was filled with understanding, acceptance, and even boundless joy—this allowed Luo Erbao's reckless gaze, about to land hard, to encounter a remarkably thick, broad, and gently charming acceptance, thus achieving a comfortable soft landing…

It was like a high dive; when jumping, one is willing to risk everything, as if there were no water to catch them, and they would bravely jump anyway—because it was a necessary jump, a must-do, a jump without hesitation, a jump with a death wish—unexpectedly, halfway down, they discovered that below was a deep pool of water. No matter how heavy or fast the free fall, it would ultimately be dissolved and accepted by the gentle water, allowing that high-altitude love dive, completed with their gaze, to flawlessly execute the difficult maneuver, successfully entering the water, completing that breathtaking leap…

"Okay, keep going! Okay, keep it up! Okay, one more!"

The photographer was moved by the couple's completely absorbed gaze and quickly snapped many amazing photos that amazed everyone present...

"Okay, that's enough for the bride and groom's eye contact photos. Now, bride and groom, get ready, we're going to take a set of kissing photos..."

The photographer seemed to be getting into the swing of things and wanted to strike while the iron was hot, capturing the best wedding photos the studio could offer...

"What?! We're going to take wedding photos of them kissing in public?!"

Luo Erbao had just breathed a sigh of relief when his heart immediately jumped into his throat again...

Chapter 32 A Hearty and Exhilarating Experience

"The bride and groom are about to enter the hall of marriage. The best way to express their mutual love and instant attraction is through a kiss. This kind of kiss isn't just a formality or a symbolic gesture. I want to capture the feeling between the bride and groom—the desire for a long and happy marriage, the feeling of being inseparable, like being in a world without anyone else around—just like when we took the gazing photos earlier. You need to be completely immersed so that I can capture the most wonderful, unforgettable, and memorable moments for the future..."

The photographer was unusually excited today, his voice brimming with energy...

Hearing the photographer's words, Song Jiayin whispered to Luo Erbao, "Are you sure you're okay with this?"

"If you're okay with it, then I'm okay too,"

Luo Erbao whispered back to Song Jiayin.

"Don't worry about anything, just kiss me..."

Song Jiayin further reminded him.

"I don't have any worries, it's just that these people at the photo studio, knowing we're not really the bride and groom, might spread some bad rumors in the future..."

Luo Erbao was actually worried about these things.

"Don't worry about that, I've already told them you're a student I hired from the drama academy—they all think you're just putting on an act, using your performance to earn the stunt double fee I'm paying you..."

Song Jiayin told him these details precisely to put Luo Erbao's mind at ease.

"Oh, that's great, if they don't know who I am, I won't have any burdens..."

Luo Erbao's worries immediately disappeared.

"That's good. If you're ready, I'll tell the photographer we can start..."

The successful photoshoot of the previous pairing had given Luo Erbao considerable encouragement. It also revealed a certain bottom line his sister-in-law had crossed. Besides, she had just mentioned that this photo studio didn't know who he was; they thought he was a college acting student. Therefore, whatever they did, it would be like filming a movie, and no one would criticize it—just like actors filming kissing or passionate scenes, nobody takes it seriously, everyone thinks it's normal. Now that they'd positioned him as a paid stand-in, he really shouldn't have any worries!

So, the kissing photoshoot went exceptionally smoothly. Luo Erbao had no more concerns, and kissing his sister-in-law, Song Jiayin, was something he'd always dreamed of and could never get enough of. So, if the conditions allowed and everyone approved, why not fully immerse himself and kiss her to his heart's content!

The photographer was extremely excited by Luo Erbao's passionate kisses, probably praising him inwardly—"No wonder he's a performance student! He's practically made the scene real!" Multiple angles, multiple lighting, he snapped photos quickly, trying not to miss a single exquisite detail…

For Luo Erbao, this was an unprecedented enjoyment, because he had no more worries. So, when he passionately kissed his sister-in-law, he was completely absorbed and enjoying it. In a moment of passion, he even slipped his tongue into her mouth, and surprisingly, she responded, gently licking and sucking with her luscious lips, just like a deeply affectionate couple in a passionate, wet kiss…

Actually, at this moment, Song Jiayin also suddenly changed her attitude towards Luo Erbao—because she realized that this young man's infatuation and ardent love for her had reached an extreme, incurable level. If she didn't accept and resolve it, it might seem very awkward and uncomfortable.

Besides, she and he were going to develop their relationship further in the near future. The purpose of their deeper contact was to realize her secret plan. Now was the perfect time to lay the groundwork and let him become infatuated with her and fall in love with her in this way. Perhaps it was a good thing. So, Song Jiayin began to kiss Luo Erbao with the feeling that lovers have...

Once she let go of her taboos, Song Jiayin immediately experienced the physical and mental pleasure that kissing brought. Especially in public, it was even more thrilling and exciting... Particularly later, when Luo Erbao was passionately kissing her and tightly embracing her, their bodies pressed together, they could feel each other's heartbeats and their body heat was clearly transmitted to each other. Song Jiayin really couldn't help herself. If Luo Erbao did anything else at that moment, she wouldn't object—luckily, it was in a public place, otherwise, Song Jiayin didn't know how far this passionate kiss would eventually go...

"You did a great job. Can I have your contact number? We can contact you for similar business in the future..."

The photographer finally finished shooting those wonderful kissing scenes and, while handing over his business card, extended this invitation to Luo Erbao.

"This..."

Luo Erbao didn't know how to answer, so he looked at his sister-in-law, Song Jiayin...

Chapter 33: A Difficult Question

"Sure, leave the business card here. He's still a student. If he needs anything, just contact me directly."

Seeing Luo Erbao's pleading look, Song Jiayin knew he didn't know what to do, so she stepped forward, took the photographer's business card, and said these words to him.

The photographer seemed a little disappointed, but didn't show it immediately. However, after the shoot that day, when Song Jiayin went to settle the bill and say goodbye to the general manager, the photographer couldn't help but secretly slip Luo Erbao a business card and whispered, "You really have acting talent. We'll definitely have the opportunity to work together again in the future—if you want to work with me, come to the store tomorrow. I'll make a special feature of today's work for you as a souvenir before it's finalized..."

Luo Erbao took the business card, but didn't know how to answer him. He just stared at him, unable to say a word.

"Did you understand what I said? These photos taken today will be composited with the image of the doctor who's your stand-in tomorrow. If you don't deliberately preserve the original images, once they're deleted, they'll be gone forever. Don't you think you should preserve those wonderful moments of your performance today, making them part of your work, leaving proof for your future job search or memories?"

The photographer was really going to great lengths to work with Luo Erbao in the future.

"Actually, I..."

Luo Erbao wanted to say that he wasn't actually a performing arts student—but what came out was: "Actually, I also really wanted to keep some photos of today as a memento..."

"That's right—you know, time can't be replicated once it's gone, just like those wonderful moments flowing through time. If you don't capture them carefully, they'll flow away with time, and when you try to capture them again, time has passed, and you'll have nothing left..."

The photographer was expressing his own ideas.

"Alright, I'll find a chance to pick up the digital photo album tomorrow..."

At this moment, Luo Erbao suddenly understood why Hu Xiaohu had gone to such lengths to preserve those images... It turns out that once someone falls in love with someone, once they've invested genuine emotion in the process of filming, they're destined to care deeply about the resulting images. Without obtaining them and preserving them permanently, they'll forever be restless and preoccupied—conversely, once they acquire them, they'll be overjoyed, just like Hu Xiaohu. Luo Erbao instantly understood Hu Xiaohu's feelings because at this moment, his feelings were exactly the same as hers...

Even more unexpectedly, the next day, when he and Hu Xiaohu went out to handle some chores for Song Jiayin, Hu Xiaohu mysteriously asked him, "You and my cousin really did take wedding photos yesterday, how did it go..."

"Why are you asking this?"

Luo Erbao had originally planned to find an excuse to have Hu Xiaohu wait for him somewhere after they left, so he could go to the photo studio and retrieve the promised digital photo album from the photographer. But as soon as he stepped outside, Hu Xiaohu brought up the wedding photos from yesterday.

"Just concerned about you..."

Hu Xiaohu said

, surprisingly. "How is that concern about me?"

Luo Erbao didn't understand what Hu Xiaohu meant.

"Don't you understand? When we took our trial wedding photos, I really wanted to keep those images, so I tried every means to get a copy—and now, it's your turn to take the official wedding photos, but they'll soon be deleted, yet you're so determined to keep some as a permanent memento..."

Hu Xiaohu said, staring intently into Luo Erbao's eyes, watching his reaction.

"Who said I wanted to keep those photos of the stand-ins!"

Luo Erbao denied it outright.

"No need to say anything, it's written all over your face!"

Hu Xiaohu continued to stare intently at Luo Erbao's face.

"What's wrong? What's written on my face..."

Luo Erbao still looked incredulous.

"Nothing's written on it, but anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance..."

Hu Xiaohu was truly mischievous, as if she could see into Luo Erbao's mind and know what he was thinking.

"That's not right, how could you tell what I'm thinking? Is wild speculation, making things up, and guessing your specialty?"

Luo Erbao wanted to tease Hu Xiaohu a bit.

"It's not that I'm wild speculation, making things up, or guessing. From the time you got home yesterday until you came out this morning, you seemed to be pondering something. Although it was very mysterious, it still couldn't escape the eyes of a careful person..."

Hu Xiaohu spoke with a very mysterious air.

"What? Just because I'm thinking about something, does that mean it must be what you're talking about?"

Luo Erbao was starting to feel guilty.

"Yes, it can't be anything else but that—I just went through the same feeling you had, except I achieved it very smoothly—while for you, achieving it will be much more difficult..."

Hu Xiaohu directly expressed her feelings, even the truth.

"Well, I've helped you achieve it, so you help me achieve it too..."

Luo Erbao actually surrendered instantly, admitting that he really wanted those substitute wedding photos...

Chapter 34 Pretending to be Real

"Okay, in that case, we're even—tell me, how can I help you!"

Hu Xiaohu readily accepted on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking: "Of course I'll help you with this, because once you also have the wedding photos with my cousin, if the wedding photos I have are ever threatened, I'll immediately..." That means she now has another weakness in his hands! Perhaps this way, she can achieve some kind of balance and truly cherish those wedding photos she took with Luo Erbao forever!

Luo Erbao didn't expect Hu Xiaohu to agree to help him so readily, nor did he expect her so-called balance theory. She just wanted to get a set of wedding photos taken with her sister-in-law Song Jiayin yesterday as quickly and safely as possible. Compared to the set that Hu Xiaohu treasured, it would be worth tens of thousands of times more!

“Yesterday, the photographer secretly promised to give me a digital copy of the original wedding photos, but I don’t know how to get them today…”

Luo Erbao told the truth.

“Since the photographer promised you, just go and get them…”

Hu Xiaohu blinked and said immediately.

“But, he has conditions for exchanging them with me…”

Luo Erbao had to reveal this detail.

“What, there are conditions? Does he want to secretly sell them for money to line his own pocket?”

Hu Xiaohu immediately questioned.

“He doesn’t want to sell them to me…”

“Then why—what exactly are the conditions you mentioned?”

“He felt that my performance when I took wedding photos with my sister-in-law yesterday was very convincing, so afterwards, he secretly wanted me to collaborate with him so that in the future, if any customers need a stand-in, he could let me play the role—I think…”

Luo Erbao revealed more details.

“Oh, I see—what’s wrong with that? A stand-in is a stand-in, it’s not real anyway, it’s just acting…”

Hu Xiaohu seemed to want to reassure Luo Erbao and make him relax.

"But I don't know what my sister-in-law will think of me if I do this..."

This was Luo Erbao's crux of the matter.

"What's wrong with that? My cousin can't restrict your personal freedom. Your future is entirely in your own hands..."

Hu Xiaohu had these rebellious thoughts all along!

"That's true, but what I'm keeping is the wedding photo that my sister-in-law and I took. If I keep this original, stand-in wedding photo, what will Da Bao think when he sees it in the future..."

Luo Erbao worried about this again.

"Then just don't let Da Bao see it. As long as you keep it safe..."

"Oh, you have a point. As long as I never reveal it, who will know?"

Luo Erbao seemed to have understood something.

"Exactly! As long as you don't blurt out the truth while drunk and leak the information, who would know you've kept a set of wedding photos with a stand-in for your sister-in-law!"

Hu Xiaohu actually gave Luo Erbao this idea...

After hearing Hu Xiaohu's words, Luo Erbao seemed to think that secretly keeping a set of wedding photos with a stand-in for his sister-in-law wasn't a big deal. Moreover, if he kept it a secret, wouldn't it be even more perfect?

So, Luo Erbao went to the photo studio with Hu Xiaohu. Luo Erbao told Hu Xiaohu to wait for him downstairs while he went upstairs to find the photographer.

The photographer was in front of the computer, busily replacing and compositing the photos of the substitute brides taken yesterday. Seeing Luo Erbao arrive, he quickly stopped, handed him a small USB drive, and said, "It's all in here. Now give me your phone number... so I can contact you if anything comes up—remember, don't tell anyone, it's our secret..."

Luo Erbao took the USB drive, nodded vigorously, then took out his phone, dialed the number the photographer had given him, and saved the number in both his and the photographer's phones.

"Do I need to pay for this?"

Luo Erbao blurted out.

"No, no, you can leave now, just remember to keep it a secret..."

the photographer said, pushing Luo Erbao out of the studio...

Luo Erbao had no choice but to quickly leave the photo studio. Downstairs, he met Hu Xiaohu and hurriedly left with her—seeing a park by the roadside, Hu Xiaohu pulled Luo Erbao inside.

"Got it?"

"Yeah..."

"Let me see..."

"It's on the USB drive, how do you view it?"

"I have a data cable, I can just connect it and view it on my phone..."

"You carry a data cable with you when you go out?"

Luo Erbao asked incredulously.

"No, I just thought I might need it today, so I brought it with me..."

Hu Xiaohu said, taking out a data cable only 20 centimeters long from her pocket. She quickly connected the USB drive to her phone, and after a few quick movements, she saw the so-called stand-in wedding photos that Luo Erbao and Song Jiayin had taken yesterday on her phone...

"Oh my god, you didn't—take it for real, did you!"

Hu Xiaohu was dumbfounded!

Chapter 35 Jealous of You

"What are you talking about? I just followed the photographer's instructions and did all the poses."

Luo Erbao quickly explained.

"Really? Look how into it you are, it's almost like..."

Hu Xiaohu seemed to have noticed something.

"What do you mean by 'like'? Don't overthink it. My sister-in-law and I are completely innocent. If it weren't for wanting Da Bao to have some decent wedding photos, I wouldn't have been a stand-in..."

Luo Erbao was afraid Hu Xiaohu would think otherwise.

"You're not a stand-in at all! You look even more into it than the real one—look at that pose, look at that expression, oh my, it gives me goosebumps..."

Hu Xiaohu said, pouting.

"What do you mean by that..."

Luo Erbao was completely baffled.

"Nothing, it's just that you look too much like the real groom—except for looking a little younger than my cousin, otherwise, if you showed it to others, they definitely wouldn't suspect you're a stand-in..."

Hu Xiaohu emphasized.

"I say, aren't you a little jealous!"

Luo Erbao felt that Hu Xiaohu had something to say about the wedding photos he and his sister-in-law took, and she didn't just say it directly.

"Why would I be jealous? I'm nobody to you..."

Hu Xiaohu said, her tone a little sarcastic.

"But the way you're talking sounds a bit sour!"

Luo Erbao bluntly voiced his thoughts.

"Sour? Seriously? Why would I be sour? You're not my boyfriend, and I'm not your girlfriend. We don't interfere with each other. Why should I be jealous of your behavior?"

Hu Xiaohu retorted, sounding completely reasonable.

"Yeah, I'm wondering about it too!"

Hearing Hu Xiaohu's vehement denial, Luo Erbao realized the topic was pointless and quickly dropped the subject.

“What’s so surprising? When you were doing your makeup trial with me the other day, you were like a block of wood, lacking any passion or engagement. But the wedding photos you took with my cousin are completely different. Tell me, how can people not be suspicious!”

“I’m telling you, you’re being unreasonable—when I was doing my makeup trial with you, the photographer didn’t mention any requirements, just had us stand in the studio and took a few pictures; but when I was taking pictures with my sister-in-law, if my posture or movement was slightly wrong, I would be corrected repeatedly. So, how can my photos be compared to yours!”

Luo Erbao seemed to think that Hu Xiaohu had misunderstood him.

"So you mean, if the photographer also makes a request, asking you to kiss me like you would your own bride, would you kiss me like you would my cousin?"

Hu Xiaohu seemed completely bewitched.

"Yeah, it depends on the situation. If it really requires it, I'll do the same thing!"

Luo Erbao was cornered by Hu Xiaohu.

"Fine, then let's go find the photographer now and have him make the same request, and see if you'll kiss me like you would my cousin!"

As she spoke, Hu Xiaohu grabbed Luo Erbao's arm, trying to return to the photo studio.

"I'm telling you, what's wrong with you? You're acting like you've lost your mind! Why don't you understand the principles of life? I was just a stand-in for Brother Dabao and took kissing photos with your sister-in-law, but if you go along to take photos, whose stand-in am I? Besides, aren't you getting married soon?"

Luo Erbao was getting a little impatient.

"I'm not picking on your stand-in thing, nor am I getting married myself. I just want to prove what kind of man you really are, whether you're the kind of man who'll throw himself into anything you're asked to do..."

Hu Xiaohu managed to justify her twisted logic.

"Why are you proving this?"

"By proving this, I'll know what your true feelings are towards my cousin. If you treat everyone the same way, then it's normal for you to treat my cousin. But if you treat everyone the same way, only my cousin, then it means you..." "

It means what? You're not allowed to talk nonsense and spout off. If my sister-in-law finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Luo Erbao seemed to understand what Hu Xiaohu was trying to say.

"Okay, if you want to clear your name, then hurry up and do an experiment with me..."

Hu Xiaohu grabbed Luo Erbao's arm again.

"What experiment?"

Luo Erbao tried to break free.

"Just find a photographer to take some wedding photos of you kissing. That way, it'll immediately prove what kind of man you are..."

"Taking wedding photos is absolutely impossible..."

"Why not?!"

"My sister-in-law only asked me to be her stand-in for her wedding photos because she's getting married soon. Why do you want to? You don't have any reason, and you didn't even pay for them. Do you think they'd take them for you?"

Luo Erbao's words actually made sense.

"Who said it didn't cost money? I'll pay for everything! I want to see if you're just as into it when you're taking photos with me!"

Hu Xiaohu seemed to have gone completely mad.

"Jealous, typical jealousy, the kind where the vinegar jar has spilled!"

Luo Erbao screamed inwardly, but what came out of his mouth was: "How about this, if you want to test what kind of man I am, find a secluded place, let me kiss you, and you'll understand everything, okay?"

Heh, Luo Erbao was forced into this situation and actually came up with this way to get out of trouble…

Chapter 36 Private Corner

"Okay, okay, look, there's a big tree over there, we'll go behind it!"

Upon hearing that Luo Erbao wanted to find a secluded place to prove what kind of man he was through a kiss, Hu Xiaohu was overjoyed, as if she had found a treasure. She didn't actually have any other purpose; she just wanted to get close to Luo Erbao through various means. Therefore, she didn't hesitate to use her extraordinary ability to make things up, luring Luo Erbao into her gentle trap…

"Let me make this clear beforehand, I kissed you to prove that I treat everyone equally, without bias, and it was all out of a desire to help them, without any selfish motives..."

Luo Erbao said as Hu Xiaohu pulled him behind the big tree.

"No need to say anything, just kiss me once like you kissed my cousin, and that will prove that you have no ulterior motives, okay?"

As Hu Xiaohu pulled Luo Erbao behind the tree, her cheerful expression and joyful voice conveyed a strong signal—she had truly caught the big fish she wanted with her carefully crafted hook!

At this moment, Luo Erbao's thoughts were quite simple: in order to preserve the original of the substitute wedding photos he took with his sister-in-law, Song Jiayin, he had to let Hu Xiaohu know and see them. However, when Hu Xiaohu saw the photos of him kissing and gazing at his sister-in-law with such intensity and passion, she became suspicious, thinking that he really had some improper thoughts about his sister-in-law, which was why he took the opportunity to be so passionate…

And his claim that he treated all women equally whenever he needed to was now seized upon by Hu Xiaohu, who insisted on testing him on her before letting him go—well, anyway, kissing wasn't anything dirty or tiring. If he satisfied Hu Xiaohu's demands, perhaps his matter of keeping the substitute wedding photos would be safe, or perhaps Hu Xiaohu wouldn't suspect his real desires for his sister-in-law. And then...

After these thoughts ran through his mind, Luo Erbao wanted to finish quickly, find a place, and passionately gaze into Hu Xiaohu's eyes and kiss her. He figured her jealousy, or any other thoughts, would vanish...

But when he got behind the big tree, put his arm around Hu Xiaohu's waist, made her bend over, and looked into her eyes, Luo Erbao was suddenly stunned—Hu Xiaohu's eyes were crystal clear, so clear that he could see right through them. That pure and transparent quality was something he hadn't even noticed unless he looked closely—because, without any passion or psychological barriers, there was no obstacle at all in their direct gaze...

Could it be because he had no lust or lewd thoughts towards Hu Xiaohu that he could look into her bright eyes so openly and innocently? Those must be the untouched depths of a virgin, a pristine spring unpolluted!

These sudden thoughts gave Luo Erbao a completely new understanding of the girl who was so jealous of him and his sister-in-law for taking passionate wedding photos—she was like a blank sheet of paper, untouched by any man's writing, those vast expanses of blankness like a clear blue sky, a calm ocean, or a quiet desert…

When Luo Erbao began to kiss Hu Xiaohu's lips, he felt completely relaxed, without any tension, without any ulterior motives, and without even any passion. Using only the kissing techniques he had learned from other women, he was enough to make this blank-slate girl tremble, as if she had been deflowered, stunned by that fleeting kiss…

Both were virgins, both were young women, so why was there such a big difference between his sister-in-law Song Jiayin and Hu Xiaohu? The sister-in-law's eyes shimmered like autumn water, as if they held the essence of countless streams and rivers, forming a deep, tranquil pool. Hu Xiaohu's eyes, however, were like a shallow stream, revealing the sandy bottom beneath—no pebbles, not even a fish, just a clear, gently rippling expanse, leaving no room for imagination…

But when he kissed his sister-in-law Song Jiayin's lips, it was like sipping fine wine, a sudden, invigorating experience; while kissing Hu Xiaohu was like drinking Sprite, refreshing and delightful…

These feelings led Luo Erbao to gaze intently into Hu Xiaohu's eyes from behind the large tree. When he kissed her lips, which were perhaps touched by sunlight, he seemed to have no psychological burden whatsoever, performing the act with remarkable fluidity and ease—giving Hu Xiaohu the impression that Luo Erbao truly had no "selfish motives" when it came to women, treating them all equally whenever necessary…

But deep within Hu Xiaohu's heart, in that secret corner of her girlish soul, a secret joy was stirring—no matter the method or the reason, as long as Brother Erbao had hugged and kissed her, it meant they had a good start, and would surely move step by step towards their ideal destination; that beautiful shore would be reached sooner or later…
