Chapter 10: The Opening of Meat
How is it? Not as terrifying as you imagined, right? Xiao Yong teased, "I am a photographer with a strong sense of professional ethics."
Xiao Yong did not intend to challenge Yue Li's filming boundaries; the angles and poses he chose were completely discreet. Yue Li felt that he had previously considered that if Xiao Yong were to ask him to face the camera and open his legs, he would have to firmly refuse, as that would be too petty. Nevertheless, Yue Li understood very well that although Xiao Yong did not capture any poses that would make him feel offended, his body was indeed fully exposed to Xiao Yong's view
Although she had been prepared to face Xiao Yong's scrutiny from the moment she stepped out of the dressing room, the mixture of satisfaction and a hint of mockery in Xiao Yong's expression made Yue Li's face flush once again. Moreover, her entire body, which had just been calmed by the lotion, seemed to be burning with heat. At this moment, Yue Li presented an even more alluring display of shyness.
As the door opened, a tall girl with short hair, dressed in a white shirt and jeans, who exuded a very boyish charm, leaned in and asked, "Is Emily here?"
"With such a trivial matter, how could one be tired?" Xiao Yong discerned the young girl's thoughts and said with a smile, "It's just the right time to break in the new equipment. Let me think about how to take this set of photos for you. You should drink some water first"
The sound of Hasselblad's shutter blended into the music, not particularly noticeable. Yue Li discovered that Xiao Yong seemed to be using the shutter release without a trigger at all, repeatedly pressing the shutter in the somewhat dim lighting that appeared slightly inadequate for typical portrait photography.
In terms of playing with light and shadow, the most challenging subject now is probably the human body. Xiao Yong explained with a smile that was certainly not malevolent: "Of course, if you are unwilling, I can think of something else. There should be quite a few different outfits in the company's dressing room."
Are you tired? Yue Li asked
Lean your upper body forward a bit ... ... Don't let your hair fall in front, just let it hang behind. ... ... Yes, just like that, very good. Raise your chin a little, turn your head this way a bit, yes, just like that. I know you are nervous, you don't need to turn to look at me, just look anywhere, good ... ... '' Xiao Yong lowered his head to look at the Hasselblad viewfinder, while carefully directing Yue Li to pose. I know you are nervous, you don't need to turn to look at me, just look anywhere, good ... ... '' Xiao Yong lowered his head to look at the Hasselblad viewfinder, while carefully directing Yue Li to pose.
"Who is it? Isn't there no one left in the company?" Xiao Yong muttered, about to turn the doorknob to open the door, when Yue Li, frightened, hurriedly dove into the makeup room
Yue Li responded in a voice as faint as a mosquito, saying, "Mm." She then removed her nightgown and walked over to the white cube placed in front of the backdrop. This object, used as a stool during the shoot, was made of plastic and felt cold to the touch
Yue Li let out an "oh" and dazedly took the jar from Xiao Yong's hands. It was only then that she realized she had been standing there for quite a while, her mind blank and wandering. For the first time in her life, she was about to expose her body to a man who was a complete stranger, causing her brain to momentarily freeze, overwhelmed by a myriad of emotions, generally a bit more than nervousness but slightly less than fear. Gripping the jar of lotion, Yue Li rushed into the makeup room. She steadied her breathing, turned on the exaggerated lights around the makeup mirror, and placed the lotion on the table.

Gripping the jar of lotion, Yue Li rushed into the makeup room. She steadied her breathing, turned on the exaggerated lights around the makeup mirror, and placed the lotion on the table. She exclaimed softly, looking at the tube of lotion, and her tension suddenly eased. She thought to herself: it really is very effective. What Xiao Yong pulled out from his bag was actually Sisley's all-in-one lotion, which cost nearly 1,000 per bottle.
Xiao Yong's smile seems to possess a calming magic, as Yue Li cradles her face in her cold hands, which feel as if they could cool her entire mind in an instant. More importantly, her face no longer feels so hot. "I... I have never photographed a human body."
As she stepped out of the shower, Yue Li felt as if she was sufficiently prepared for a man to scrutinize her body. Drying the droplets of water from her skin and hair with a towel, she began to apply lotion to herself. The cool droplets spread across her body with her fingers, the slight chill providing her with immense comfort. At that moment, she noticed that music had already begun to play in the studio outside the door, seemingly an opera by Andrea Bocelli, melodious and soothing.

Yue Li nodded obediently. She herself did not know what kind of photos she wanted to take. The shock brought to her by the photos she had seen earlier was indeed immense. She understood that those photos, which could be used without any computer post-processing, perfectly showcased Ye Jiaying's characteristics; that pure feeling was irreplaceable. Although she had mentioned wanting to take a similar set, it was indeed too much to ask.
Xiao Yong's shooting today was quite different from yesterday's session with Ye Jiaying. Yue Li had some experience in photography and knew how to cooperate with the photographer, understanding how to respond to the photographer's directions. In contrast, Ye Jiaying was just a young girl who was extremely nervous at the time. Yue Li could hold the poses that Xiao Yong needed, waiting for him to press the shutter before moving on to the next action. However, with Ye Jiaying, it was better to let her do some movements on her own, allowing Xiao Yong to capture the right moment when she was ready.
Xiao Yong's compliment made Yue Li feel a bit shy again. At that moment, the tightly locked door of the studio was turned slightly.
Xiao Yong tilted his head and shrugged, saying: "No problem. I can guarantee it will be beautiful, very beautiful... your body and your expression are both great"
"How about we take a set of nude photos?" Suddenly, Xiao Yong asked with a smile.
Yue Li was not in a hurry. She took several deep breaths to allow her racing heart to calm down. After a busy day with Xiao Yong, she indeed needed to take care of herself. The white long-sleeved T-shirt she wore was already stained with several patches of dust, the origin of which she could not recall, and her tight jeans were soaked with sweat, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable. She stripped off all her clothes in front of the makeup mirror, under the warm, soft yellow light of the makeup lamp, examining her body. She even turned halfway around to view herself from different angles. Would she be able to satisfy Xiao Yong? This thought, devoid of any preconceived notions, made her face flush again. She rushed into the shower, turned on the hot water, and let the scalding, powerful stream wash over her body, removing the sweat from her skin. She did not wear a shower cap, and her hair quickly became drenched. However, the sound of the water flow and steam, along with the echoing noises in the confined space of the shower, made her feel comfortable and safe.
Clearing his throat, Xiao Yong did not wish for the young girl's shyness to persist, as it would affect the shoot. He said: "You sit on that cube, facing the left wall, and just sit casually. You are also engaging in a nude shoot; let's start from the back."
Yue Li chuckled and said, "I will go change back into my clothes first... Can I see the photos?"
Uh? https://m.hetushu.com.com Yue Li was momentarily taken aback before she suddenly realized what Xiao Yong was referring to. Yue Li found herself at a loss for how to respond; she remembered that just a moment ago, she had mentioned that when she walked into the glass room, she had already mentally prepared herself to make sacrifices as a beautiful girl in a vulnerable position, sacrifices that were necessary for her to achieve success in this field, and that was all she had to offer. But now, did Xiao Yong really want to see her body? The sacrifices that a beautiful girl in a vulnerable position had to make, and that was all she had to offer. But now, did Xiao Yong really want to see her body? Yue Li's face flushed red, a mix of shyness and perhaps a bit of anger.
Xiao Yong naturally fixed his gaze on Yue Li. At this moment, Yue Li was even more alluring than if she were completely naked. The thin silk nightgown she wore could hardly conceal anything. Beneath it was the exquisite contour of Yue Li's body. After her shower, she had not completely dried off, and the nightgown clung to her, perfectly outlining her entire figure, presented before Xiao Yong.
During the entire shooting process, Xiao Yong did not approach Yue Li to adjust her posture or even the details of her hair tips. Instead, he patiently explained everything clearly, allowing Yue Li to do it herself. By the time Xiao Yong finally finished this set of twenty-seven photos, nearly an hour had passed.
Although Yue Li has never photographed the human body, as a signed professional model, she is unaware of how many times she has participated in studio shoots. She stands somewhat bewildered to the side, watching Xiao Yong skillfully manipulate the stands and set up the lighting. Xiao Yong is using the Hasselblad with a digital back equipped with a phase that was used for photographing Ye Jiaying yesterday. When shooting portraits and nudes, Xiao Yong particularly enjoys the square composition that Hasselblad offers.

Xiao Yong tilted his head, looking at Yue Li, his gaze filled with scrutiny, yet devoid of any hint of lewdness or offense. He said, "Move that cube over here and place it in the center. I will start setting up the lighting."
"Are you unwilling to indulge in something more intimate?" Xiao Yong seemed quite adept at using a serious expression to convey such ambiguous remarks. "I am very skilled in the human form. Truly. Because I have had ample practice."
What should I do now? After struggling for a while, Yue Li finally emerged from the dressing room, draped in a thin silk nightgown. At that moment, Xiao Yong had already set up the tripod and other equipment, and was fiddling with the light meter.
Do you need to prepare a bit? You should take care of your skin. You have been running with me all day today and must have sweated a lot, so just wipe off some of the oil on your body; there's no need to apply any finishing oil. Looking at Yue Li, who was standing there in a daze, Xiao Yong reminded him with a smile. "Oh, by the way, ..." Xiao Yong rummaged through his large photography bag for a while, took out a large tube of cosmetics, and handed it to Yue Li. "This was left in my studio by someone I don't know, at some unknown time; it's lotion, I believe. Later, they even called to ask for it, but by then I had already returned to Shanghai. I heard it's very effective, so you can make do with it."
Yue Li was once again taken aback, unsure of how to respond. Xiao Yong's implication was clearly that he had seen many beautiful girls in the nude, and now she was to become one of them? However, for some reason, when the image of Ye Jiaying, who looked like an angel, flashed through her mind from that morning, Yue Li gently bit her lip and, without much hesitation, said, "Alright."
Yue Li is no longer as tense and guarded as she was earlier. She stands up gracefully, takes the nearly sheer nightgown from Xiao Yong's hands, and drapes it over herself. She lets out a long sigh of relief
