Chapter 58
Why wash the bed sheets?
Yu Heng woke up at 7:30 the next morning.
It's not that he's hardworking, it's just that he went to bed early last night.
In the morning, I filmed a video of Ning Yutong; in the afternoon, I took Qin Ya out to play; and in the evening, Ning Yutong had to go to a film club activity.
Wow, quite a packed schedule.
Yu Heng got out of bed, washed up, and strolled to the kitchen.
There's not much food left in the refrigerator, just a few eggs and a bag of bread slices.
He figured he'd fry a few eggs and toast a few slices of bread to make do with a meal.
Just as I put the frying pan on the stove, I heard Bai Xinran open the door.
A little while later, as she passed by the kitchen, Yu Heng glanced at her and said, "Up so early?"
"Mm," Bai Xinran replied. "Good morning to you too."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the balcony. Yu Heng turned down the stove and peeked out onto the balcony.
Bai Xinran bent down to take things out of the washing machine.
A light blue bed sheet, crumpled up, was held in her arms.
Yu Heng raised an eyebrow: "When did you wash the sheets?"
"Last night," Bai Xinran paused, without turning her head, "water spilled on the bed."
"Water?" Yu Heng scrambled the eggs, turned off the stove, wiped his hands, and walked out of the kitchen. "What kind of water?"
Bai Xinran turned around, clutching the bed sheet: "I just accidentally spilled it while drinking water."
"Wouldn't it be necessary to wash the sheets?" Yu Heng squinted at her, then couldn't help but chuckle. "A fountain?"
"What did you say?" Bai Xinran turned her face away. "I don't understand!"
After she finished speaking, she quickly went into her room, and Yu Heng laughed as he watched her.
After a while, Bai Xinran came out of the room.
Yu Heng was placing the freshly baked bread onto a plate when he looked up at her and said, "Come and eat?"
Bai Xinran walked to the dining table, sat down, and took a sip of milk.
The two ate a few bites in silence, then Bai Xinran suddenly asked, "How late will we finish filming the video today?"
"It depends," Yu Heng said, taking a bite of bread. "If all goes well, it'll take an hour or two; if not, it might take all morning."
"Okay, I've got nothing to do this weekend anyway."
Yu Heng glanced at her and deliberately asked, "How did you sleep last night?"
Bai Xinran murmured in response, "It's alright."
She was actually sleeping very soundly, and she had put a bath towel on her back.
Unexpectedly...
She got up, stuffed the sheets into the washing machine, and then went back to sleep.
She looked up at Yu Heng: "And you?"
"I'm alright," Yu Heng said, placing the fried eggs and toast on the table. "I just had a dream."
"What dream?" Bai Xinran sat down opposite her and picked up a slice of toast.
"I dreamt that you came knocking on my door in the middle of the night." Yu Heng grinned.
Bai Xinran glared at him upon hearing this: "Keep dreaming!"
"Isn't this just a dream?" Yu Heng shrugged and took a bite of his fried egg.
The two ate breakfast quietly for a while.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Yu Heng got up to open the door, and Ning Yutong stood outside, carrying a large paper bag.
"Yu Heng!" she greeted with a smile, her gaze sweeping past Yu Heng over the restaurant. "Sister Xinran is here too!"
"Good morning." Bai Xinran stood up and forced a smile.
Yu Heng stepped aside to let her in: "Why are you here so early?"
"I was afraid of being late." Ning Yutong changed her shoes and came in, putting the bag on the sofa. "I also brought snacks and drinks, so you can eat them when you get tired of filming."
She took out several bottles of juice from the bag: "What does Xinran like to drink? I bought orange juice, apple juice, and grape juice."
"I'll just have orange juice, thank you!" Bai Xinran said.
Yu Heng glanced at the two of them and said, "Alright, alright, let's start preparing for filming!"
Ning Yutong nodded and began taking clothes out of her bag.
She made thorough preparations for today's shoot.
She's not actually someone who's keen on showing herself off.
A big reason is that she feels she is a very ordinary person.
He came from an ordinary family, had average academic performance, and average athletic achievements.
Even when playing games with friends since she was a child, such as kicking shuttlecock or jumping rope, she was never very good at it.
But starting last year?
People around me started praising how pretty I was.
Things like "Girls change a lot as they grow up" or "They've really blossomed."
Many of them sounded somewhat offensive.
For example, she's a dairy cow, and people say she has a sexy figure.
Boys would stare at her, and girls would talk about her.
But her deskmate was Yu Heng.
Tell her that these people are either envious or jealous.
But all of this proves that she has something they desperately want, so she should be happy.
So from then on, she started dressing up.
Wear beautiful clothes and style your hair beautifully.
They don't care about what others think; instead, they openly show themselves to others.
She arranged each piece of clothing in order on the sofa.
A light blue JK uniform set, white lace-trimmed over-the-knee socks and regular ankle socks.
A light gray set of loungewear, along with a loose T-shirt with a cartoon cat print and athletic shorts.
Yu Heng leaned against the dining table, glancing at the row of clothes.
You can start with the most basic loungewear and gradually move on to JK uniforms.
We could add a sporty outfit option.
In short, the greater the contrast, the stronger the impact of the short video.
"You've prepared quite thoroughly," Yu Heng said with approval.
Ning Yutong looked up at him, her eyes bright: "I was afraid it wouldn't be enough, so I brought a few more sets."
"That's enough." Yu Heng walked to the center of the living room. "Let's take the picture here. The background is clean, and the lighting is easy to adjust."
Bai Xinran remained seated at the dining table, glancing at Yu Heng and then at Ning Yutong.
If she really does it with Yu Heng, what will happen to these girls?
"Where should I change my clothes?" Ning Yutong asked.
Yu Heng pointed to the guest room opposite Bai Xinran: "Let's go to that bedroom!"
Ning Yutong changed her clothes and came out.
She tied her long hair into a simple low ponytail, with a few stray strands falling beside her ears.
"Is this okay?" Ning Yutong asked nervously.
Yu Heng looked her up and down: "Okay. Stand over here, in the open space in front of the sofa."
Ning Yutong stood still as he instructed, unsure of what to do with her hands.
Yu Heng looked through the viewfinder and instructed, "Relax, don't be tense. Just imagine it's a weekend morning, you've just woken up, and you're wandering around the living room in your pajamas."
"And then?" Ning Yutong asked.
"Then I'll say 'start,' and you just do a few everyday things, like yawning, stretching, scratching your head, etc. After you've done that, look at the camera with an expression of just waking up and being a little dazed." Yu Heng said, adjusting the angle as he spoke. "Remember, the more casual the first half, the better; the more disheveled, the better."
Bai Xinran listened from the side. This guy usually seemed carefree and irresponsible, but when it came to serious matters, he was really something.
"I'm ready." Ning Yutong took a deep breath.
"Alright, three, two, one, begin!"
Ning Yutong first rubbed her eyes, then opened her mouth wide and let out an exaggerated yawn.
She practiced this movement several times. Then she stretched her arms upwards, and her pajamas rode up a bit, revealing a small section of her fair waist.
After stretching, Ning Yutong scratched the back of her head, making her hair a little messy.
Finally, she looked at the camera with her mouth slightly open, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.
"Okay, stop!" Yu Heng put down the camera. "This one is fine. Now go change into your JK uniform."
"Um!"
The JK uniform is a stark contrast to the clothes I just wore.
And Ning Yutong's figure...
The shirt was stretched taut, the skirt hem fell just to mid-thigh, and she was wearing white lace-trimmed over-the-knee stockings that she had just changed into...
"Let me take a look around," Yu Heng said.
Ning Yutong obediently spun around.
"Pull your socks up higher," Yu Heng instructed. "The key to over-the-knee socks is that curve that digs into your skin."
Ning Yutong bent down and pulled her socks up, the lace trim just two fingers above her knee.
"Alright, now stand back in your previous positions and continue with the actions you were just doing."
Ning Yutong listened attentively and nodded.
"Alright, three, two, one, begin!"
