I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

Hearing Rice's decisive answer, Yuxia didn't say anything more.

After waiting for a while, the concierge who had gone to make an announcement came out behind a middle-aged man in a butler uniform. He quickened his pace and opened the small door on the side for them, inviting them in.

The butler with a slightly serious face was waiting by the carved iron gate. When he saw them coming in, he leaned over and greeted them, and said slowly with a calm demeanor: "Dear guests, the Viscount welcomes you very much. I am Viscount Floyd's steward Will, I will guide you next."

You Xia nodded politely: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Then, following the butler's footsteps, the two passed through the wide lawn and the barriers of rows of cypress trees, and arrived in front of a large-scale luxury building.

In the center of the front yard, a fountain surrounded by animal statues is performing a non-stop water dance.

Youxia walked on the curved carriageway next to the fountain, looked up and looked along the roof, and there were tall and low circular towers standing on the left and right sides of the huge building.

Although the brown-yellow exterior wall is a bit different from the castle he imagined, it is already very similar.

Without staying in the courtyard, butler Will quickly led them up the steps of the main entrance and entered the mansion.

After passing through a wide marble corridor painted with murals, Youxia met Viscount Floyd and his wife in the luxuriously furnished living room.

Seeing these two people for the first time, a word popped up in You Xia's mind, "husband and wife look".

These two look so much alike, they are both white and fat, with a decent smile on their faces, and the fabric of the clothes is also gorgeous black satin with patterns, at first glance there is almost no difference .

You Xia recalled that the former Viscount Lynn Lake, whom he had met once, had a similar appearance and body shape, and he thought that the aristocratic aesthetics probably like such a white and plump appearance!

As Les said, Viscount Flood was very hospitable. Although they came uninvited and with their own purposes, the Viscount still invited them to sit down and entertain them with expensive black tea and snacks.

In a hurry, You Xia directly explained the purpose of his visit to them.

Viscount Floyd nodded after listening: "It's no problem to rent a room, but what's a poster?"

"It means to draw a very realistic portrait with your house as the background." Youxia briefly explained.

Viscount Floyd was still understanding, but his wife suddenly realized "Oh" and asked, "Is it like the portraits of elves on the wall of your cosmetics store?"

You Xia was surprised: "Have you ever been to my shop?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help looking at the Viscountess's face for a moment, but he didn't notice any traces of makeup on her.

"Of course, I went there on the first day you opened. I was looking for Mrs. Lucia, but it happened to coincide with the opening of your new store." The Viscountess said.

When she mentioned Mrs. Lucia, Yuxia finally remembered why he found the surname "Flood" familiar.

When Mrs. Lucia invited him to some disguised dinner, he asked who would be there, and the other party answered Viscount Floyd and his wife on the list.

I haven't met at the banquet yet, but I met here first. This world is so small!

You Xia sighed in his heart.

On the other hand, after the Viscount asked his wife what kind of portrait it was, he immediately said that it would be no problem to lend them the venue, and they didn't even need to pay rent, it was just like making friends.

Sitting on the sofa, he smiled and said kindly: "Except for the dirty basement on the bottom floor of the tower on the far right, you can use the other rooms as you like. You can paint as long as you want."

"Thank you for your generous help."

"If I can get the friendship of a wood elf because of this, then I have earned it." The Viscount said with a big grin.

His wife also laughed in agreement.

Afterwards, the Viscount ordered the housekeeper, "Will, you can take Your Excellency Youxia and Mr. Hodge there!"

"Okay, sir." Will stood up from the sofa and said respectfully, "Gentlemen, please follow me."

You Xia stood up, and when he turned around, his eyes just fell on the red roses in the vase in the cabinet beside him.

He thought for a while and asked, "This one, can you give me one?"

·

I didn't expect to borrow a free venue so easily. Until I arrived at the tower designated by the Viscount with the butler, You Xia was still a little dizzy, looking at the surrounding installations, feeling like sleepwalking.

Compared with the gorgeous decoration of the main hall, the layout of the tower is much simpler, with simple furniture and narrow windows. The rooms are almost all functional rooms for storing various collections. Because no one has come to clean for a long time, they have accumulated a layer Thin dust.

Youxia climbed up the spiral staircase, wandered from room to room, and finally chose to shoot in the topmost room that connects the living room with the bedroom.

The light in this room was very dim, and there were heavy velvet curtains hanging in front of the windows, which could hardly let in any light.

But Youxia liked the candle chandelier hanging on the top and the family portraits hanging on the wall very much, and felt that this was in line with the atmosphere of the castle he wanted in his heart.

The butler lowered the chandeliers and lit candles for them.

As a candle was lit, the room gradually spread orange light, and a room full of rich medieval flavor was displayed in front of You Xia.

After raising the chandelier to the top again, Will exited the room under Youxia's signal.

As soon as the door was closed, the room immediately fell into a silent atmosphere, and the red light of the candle flickered gently on the leather sofa.

You Xia cleared his throat, took out the dress suit that had been placed for a long time from the game backpack, and handed it to Rice: "You change your clothes, we will start working immediately after changing."

Les took a look at the dress, said nothing, and went directly to the bed in the bedroom to start changing.

Sitting on the spacious red leather sofa, You Xia always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird when he heard the rustling sound of cloth rubbing around him.

He quickly shifted his focus, opened the camera icon in the game store, and the game panel in front of him was replaced by a transparent shooting interface.

Then, he took out a bunch of brand new cosmetics from the interspatial ring, and put them together with the red rose he asked for from the Viscount.

At this time Les also changed his clothes, and when he walked to the sofa, Youxia really felt his eyes light up.

The dresses given by the game are somewhat biased towards the traditional British suit design. The black single-breasted three-button style is very suitable for slender and tall men.

What is different from the orthodox dress is that the game also adds some gold chain accessories to the clothes, which makes the originally quite solemn and conservative dress a bit noble and free and easy.

Because the two of them were about the same size, the dress Yu Yu gave him was quite suitable for Les. The only thing that didn't fit was Les's long black hair.

You Xia frowned, always felt that if there was no decoration, compared with the cold and rigid suit, Rice's casually scattered hairstyle seemed a little simple.

He thought for a moment, then turned his eyes around the room, and landed on the black cloak that Les put on the bed as a gift from the same suit as the dress.

He simply took the cloak and put it on Rice's shoulders.

After fastening the silver chain of the cloak, Youxia took a few steps back to see the overall effect.

Neutralized by the soft lines of the cloak, this set sure looks much more comfortable.

"Okay, that's the style." You Xia snapped his fingers, handed him a lipstick and said, "Okay, let's start shooting."

Les stood in front of the sofa in a daze, holding lipstick in his hand, looking at a loss.

You Xia took a few test shots for him, and found that the lighting and picture quality were good, and then began to guide his movements from the layman's perspective.

"Sit on the sofa, put your right leg on your left leg, pull it a little, put the lipstick on and put it next to your face, okay, look at the camera." When he finished speaking, thinking that there was no camera, he immediately changed his words: "Look at me."

Because the camera frame in front of Youxia is invisible to Les, so for him, he just wants to make some strange movements under the motionless gaze of the elves.

This feeling was too shameful, and it didn't take long before his face blushed uncontrollably.

You Xia felt wrong when she patted. Why is the model's expression not only not a sea king, but also a bit of an innocent girl?

"Can you be a little more ruthless and charming?" He pointed.

Les blinked his eyes, looking at him suspiciously.

"It's just..." Youxia pondered for a moment. He didn't know if there were vampires in the setting of this game, but he really couldn't think of a more suitable description, so he said, "Like a vampire."

"Vampire?" Les frowned, "Why do you want to be like a vampire?"

"You know vampires?"

"Well," Rice said without a tone, "a hideous monster that haunts the night."

You Xia choked on his words, and thought it was okay, it seems that vampires here are probably as ugly and frightening as vampire zombies.

He squatted down, fixed his eyes on Les, and said, "Then don't imagine it, you are the magic dragon, the magic dragon is the ruler of the abyss, you have to be more aggressive!"

After such a gag, Rice's uneasiness when facing You Xia's gaze was relieved, and he finally took a few photos that fit the theme.

The two changed several backgrounds and products in a row. After about an hour, there was only one bull-blood lipstick left in the products they brought.

Youxia asked Les to stand in front of the hanging curtain, clamped the red rose to his ear, and then took a few steps back to look at the picture.

Against the background of the dark red petals, Les's skin showed a lustrous gardenia white, and the picture was particularly beautiful.

You Xia was very satisfied, and commanded the action: "Open the lipstick, turn the paste out by a third, face me sideways, and put the lipstick on your lips..."

Rice changed his posture step by step under his guidance, and now he can freely show the usual cold eyes.

"and many more."

You Xia clicked his tongue, and he found that once he put it together with the rich crimson of the velvet curtains and roses, Les' lips suddenly looked pink and tender.

He frowned and said, "I still have to wear some lipstick, can you wear lipstick?"

Les shook his head.

"Me neither." You Xia said.

The two were silent for a moment, You Xia walked in front of him, took the lipstick in his hand and boldly applied a little on his lips.

Les' ears started to feel hot again, and he looked at him quietly with lowered eyes, his Adam's apple slipped.

"Open your mouth."

Les opened his mouth obediently, and Youxia carefully wiped away the lipstick on his lips with the pulp of his middle finger.

This movement was nothing at all, but when it reached the center of the lower lip, Les suddenly closed his mouth and put his fingertips in his mouth.

You Xia raised his eyes, his eyes met his dark pupils, and suddenly felt that the aroma of roses in his ears was too strong.

He immediately took out his finger and wiped it on the clothes. The remaining lipstick was wiped on the snow-white clothes, and it was instantly purified.

He stuffed the lipstick back into his hand, returned to the shooting position as if nothing had happened, squatted down and pointed the shooting frame at Les again, and said, "Come on, this lipstick can be less cold, try that kind of electric smile .”

Les watched him, motionless.

You Xia tilted his head helplessly, and begged, "Smile a little."

Only then did Les raise the corners of his mouth obediently, with a gentle smile in his eyes.

You Xia froze this photo, no matter how he felt that the smile was filled with a sweet atmosphere, but he still clicked to save.

·

At night, when You Xia was editing the picture, she found this picture again.

In the picture, half of the young man's black hair is pulled behind his ear, with a rose on his sideburns, his eyebrows are graceful, the corners of his lips are lightly raised, and his eyes are full of pure and innocent light.

You Xia stared at this picture for a long time, and felt that it was not very suitable for a promotional poster. After all, the lipstick was blocked by the clothes, and only a cap was visible.

But it was a pity for him to give up this picture, because the smile of the model in the picture was so heart-warming.

In the end, he decided to retouch this picture, and at the worst, he would pick a lipstick from other photos and put it on later.

After studying the system's photo editing function for a period of time, You Xia has mastered a little bit of photo editing methods, and it will not be as jerky as it was at the beginning. At least, he has learned how to cut out pictures.

Afterwards, as he practiced, he couldn't help thinking again: what was Rice thinking at that time, why did he smile so sweetly?

Thinking, he turned to look at Les who was making the bed.

Just changed back one day, the other party returned to the pattern of Tianluo Xiaolai, and began to help You Xia tidy up the room and make the bed without any compensation.

It's kind of funny to say, the same person has two forms, one form eats, sleeps and wreaks havoc all day long, and the other form is so gentle and virtuous and loves to clean up, these are really two extremes.

You Xia pondered aimlessly in his mind, and when he finished editing the picture, he downloaded and printed out a stack of posters, and took them to the shop downstairs to lay them out.

He didn't make a human-shaped sign, because he was worried that the succubus would love the other when he saw one, and he didn't make two paper figures, in order to prevent Jasmine from stepping into two boats.

After processing the posters, You Xia opened the game menu to carry out the daily purchase work.

The turnover of the new store today is double that of yesterday. According to Golo’s report, Mrs. Lucia and her little sisters contributed half of the turnover, so in fact, the number of customers has not increased much, so It's just passed a hundred, but it still unlocked a new type of cosmetic for You Xia.

You Xia opened the page of the cosmetics store, and saw that in the unlock icon, the picture of the new category "Facial Contouring" had already lit up.

With the eye shadow and lipstick in the foreshadowing, You Xia even wanted to laugh and shout at the game panel when he opened the classification of facial contouring: This is it?That's it?

There are very few large branches in this category, only three of them are "Highlight", "Shadow", and "Blush".

Among them, the shadows are divided into three categories: "nose shadow", "side shadow" and "hairline". It seems that the division is fine, but in fact there are not many products inside, only two or three types.

Highlights are even rarer, even with various color numbers, there are only six products.

Relatively speaking, the only more complicated shade in this category is the blush shade, but it is far from the impact of eyeshadow.

It only took You Xia 10 minutes to finish buying today's new products, and he went upstairs with ease.

When he returned to the second floor, Les was making a bed for the little black panther.

You Xia looked at the small quilt folded on the sofa, and suggested: "Anyway, you've changed back now, why don't you let Hei Zai sleep on the bedside, he was bullied badly by you yesterday."

Les speeded up making the bed without saying a word, then picked up the little black panther and put it into the bed that had been made.

The panther smelled the familiar smell on the quilt, and lay down habitually.

Les took the opportunity to point at it, and said in a natural tone: "It still seems to prefer to sleep here."

Hei Zai raised his head suddenly, and looked at him with two small eyes full of question marks.
