Pei Xiao finally decided to let Li Yue and Assistant Liu accompany her to complete this part. Li Yue had been with Pei Xiao for a few years and had gotten to know her a little bit. She had always been alone before, and after her debut, she was fully occupied with work, leaving her with little personal time.

Li Yue naturally agreed to Pei Xiao's request and even arranged her work in advance to avoid being disturbed by work on the day of the live broadcast. Assistant Liu is Pei Xiao's personal assistant. During the recording of "Heartbeat", she was always in the program group to handle Pei Xiao's emergencies.

Before Li Yue came to see Pei Xiao that day, she received a sample of Pei Xiao's photo from Red Makeup, so that they could take a look first. After receiving it, Li Yue thought that it was a good opportunity to take it to Pei Xiao to take a look, and they would have something to talk about, so that it would not be too awkward.

"Are you free this afternoon? My agent said she received the photos from the last magazine shoot and asked me to take a look. Can you go with me?"

After Pei Xiao received Li Yue's message, she used this reason directly when inviting Pei Xiujie. When Pei Xiujie heard her mention the last magazine shoot, he remembered that she wore three cheongsams, showing completely different looks.

"it is good."

The place where they met was a quiet and elegant cafe. When Pei Xiao and Pei Xiujie arrived, Li Yue and Assistant Liu had already arrived.

Seeing them, Assistant Liu waved to them excitedly. Pei Xiao saw Assistant Liu's raised hand and also greeted him with a smile.

Since they had met before at a magazine shoot, Pei Xiujie, Li Yue and Assistant Liu greeted each other naturally.

"What would you like to drink, Mr. Pei?"

Assistant Liu took out her phone and ordered coffee for herself, Pei Xiao, and Li Yue. Only Pei Xiujie, whose taste she didn't understand, was left.

"I can do anything... or I can just do the same as Xiaoxiao."

Assistant Liu glanced at Pei Xiao.

"Sister Xiaoxiao usually drinks iced Americano, are you sure?"

Pei Xiujie nodded.

Assistant Liu then ordered another cup of iced American coffee and some desserts she wanted. Since Pei Xiao was paying the bill, she wouldn't be polite.

She frowned as she looked at the two cups of iced American coffee on the list. She really felt that iced American coffee was bitter and unpalatable. Pei Xiao couldn't drink iced American coffee because other sweetened coffees had too high a sugar content.

But Pei Xiujie...

Assistant Liu secretly glanced at Pei Xiujie sitting opposite him. He was looking sideways at Pei Xiao who was talking to Li Yue. His peach blossom eyes looked affectionate and gentle. Assistant Liu suddenly realized that it must be love that made Pei Xiujie choose to drink the same iced Americano as Pei Xiao.

It’s so delicious.

Soon the coffee came. After a few pleasantries, Li Yue took out her computer and opened the photo that Red Makeup had sent her.

She looked at Pei Xiujie, thinking of the day when he was filming on the scene and gave Pei Xiao some advice when she couldn't find the feeling the camera teacher said. Li Yue then said with a smile:

"Mr. Pei is here today. We took the photo that day thanks to Mr. Pei. This time, I would like to trouble Mr. Pei to help Xiaoxiao with some references. How do you think of these pictures sent by Red Makeup?"

[Hmm??? I was wondering, I just felt like Pei Xiao's manager and assistant seemed to know Pei Xiujie. So they've met before!]

[What?! Pei Xiujie is accompanying Xiaoxiao to shoot a magazine? Wow! When? Please send it out so I can see it!]

[Is "Red Makeup" a second-tier magazine? Wow, my sister is really famous. She can even get a second-tier magazine. I am looking forward to the finished product! ]

[Photographer, can you please zoom in a little bit? I want to see my sister's magazine photos, too! ]

[What magazine? Where can I buy it? ]

[This is a magazine that has just been shot and has not yet been released! If the sisters above want it, they will have to wait a little longer. ]

Pei Xiujie took a sip of the iced Americano in his hand, and his calm expression surprised Assistant Liu who was sitting opposite him. You know, when she bought iced Americano for Pei Xiao before, she bought a cup for herself out of curiosity. After taking a sip, it was so bitter that her facial features almost wrinkled together. Since then, she has never touched Americano again.

Assistant Liu sighed that some people can really drink bitter food. He took a sip of his caramel macchiato. The sweet taste instantly filled his mouth, making Assistant Liu squint his eyes happily.

After all, I still have to drink something sweet.

The other three people did not notice that Assistant Liu was absent-minded; their attention was all on the photos in the computer.

The first picture is Pei Xiao’s first dark red cheongsam. The dark color highlights Pei Xiao’s fair skin. Her slender fingers gently support her chin, and her delicate red lips are slightly curled, making her look charming and alluring.

But for some reason, in this photo, Pei Xiujie felt the same fake feeling that he had seen in Pei Xiao’s other magazines.

It is beautiful, but it is not real.

The first few photos all had that feeling, like a delicate porcelain. Li Yue was quite satisfied with these photos, and repeatedly praised the superb skills of the cameraman of "Red Makeup".

Li Yue swiped to the next picture. When Pei Xiujie saw that picture, his breathing stagnated and his pupils trembled slightly. Then Pei Xiujie felt the heartache he had felt at the shooting site.

In that picture, Pei Xiao was still wearing the same crimson cheongsam. She was leaning against the wall, holding a thin, long cigarette in her hand. Pei Xiao lowered her eyes slightly, her posture was lazy, and her eyes were dark and dull. It seemed that she was smoking to relax and relieve stress, but from Pei Xiao's expression, we could see her deep despair that she couldn't tell anyone.

The camera caught the moment she exhaled the smoke, which obscured half of her face, making her look like a rose that was about to wither.

Li Yue obviously also felt the difference in this photo. She thought about the wording for a long time and finally said only one sentence.

“This photo… is really well taken.”

Because the magazine has not been published yet, the program crew cannot take all the photos and show them to the audience. With authorization, the director had someone post a high-definition picture on the screen that the magazine has agreed to release.

[Ahhh! Sister looks so good in cheongsam! Her figure is really amazing! ]

[Sister, you are so charming under her cheongsam skirt. Even as a ghost, you are still charming! I love your waist! ]

[Pei Xiao is really suitable for the Republic of China style! Is there any director who wants her to shoot a Republic of China drama? I will definitely chase it! ]

[I didn’t understand the value of Pei Xiao’s title of “vase” before. She is really suitable for magazine shoots. Red lips, cheongsam, and the atmosphere are full! ]

[I saw a picture of Pei Xiao's agent smoking in his computer. I think that picture is very pretty. Pei Xiao's agent said that picture is very pretty. Can the production team send out the picture of him smoking so that we can appreciate it! ]

[Yes, yes, I saw there are so many photos in the computer! Why did you only send us one? It’s not good enough! I want the photo of the one smoking for a huge sum of money! Give it to me now! (Stretches out hand)]

Pei Xiao looked at the photo in silence for a while. She knew what kind of emotions she was in when she took the photo. Her eyes darkened. She cut off the photo and said calmly:

"Let's see the next one."
