At eight in the morning, Lin Shen’s biological clock woke him up right on ti.
Ever since he stopped working, his sleep schedule had beco much more regular.
Cutting back on late nights brought about a dramatic improvent.
Not only had the puffiness under his eyes vanished, but even the dark spots on his face had cleared up, leaving his skin exceptionally smooth and radiant.
Lin Shen was a little surprised that he was able to maintain this healthy state even after he finished using the [Face Slimming Exfoliating Gel].
He humd a little tune while brushing his teeth, his mood excellent.
"GLUG GLUG—PTOOEY!"
After spitting out the water, Lin Shen began to ticulously style his hair.
He had arranged to et Jiang Wan today, so he skipped his usual morning workout and focused on his appearance instead.
Washing his hair, washing his face, and shaving.
These three acts could be considered the highest form of etiquette for a guy preparing to et soone.
Although it wasn’t a date, a clean appearance was not only a sign of respect for others, but it also made him feel more confident.
Lin Shen deliberately picked out a full LV outfit from his closet. After putting it on, he struck a few poses in front of the full-length mirror, feeling he looked even more handso than he did back then.
After all, his physique was much more athletic now, and he had even grown two centiters taller.
These details might seem minor, but when viewed as a whole, they created a very pleasant impression.
At least, that’s what Lin Shen thought to himself.
’Sothing’s missing, though.’
Lin Shen flexed his wrist, suddenly thinking he should buy a watch.
It might not be very practical, but it would be a great decorative accessory to go with his clothes.
’I should ask Nan to go shopping with soti.’
Lin Shen walked to the entryway, grabbed his keys, and headed out.

「Songjiang University City, Starbucks.」
Sun Wenhao constantly fiddled with the cara hanging from his neck, his gaze darting to the entrance every so often.
He had arranged to go to Changxing Island for a photoshoot with Jiang Wan today. He was nervous, but at the sa ti, he felt a faint sense of anticipation.
’Rounding up, this is basically a date!’
The mont he thought of Jiang Wan’s devastatingly beautiful face and her delicate, graceful figure, an inexplicable warmth swelled in Sun Wenhao’s chest.
He and Jiang Wan had t at a traditional Chinese style event.
At the ti, he was her TFP photographer, shooting lots of behind-the-scenes and finished photos for her. He used his own account to help drive traffic to her, attracting a huge number of fans on TikTok.
Of course, it was a win-win situation.
Thanks to Jiang Wan’s gorgeous face and stunning figure, Sun Wenhao’s own photographer account had also taken off.
As a result, he was very grateful to Jiang Wan, and his heart was filled with an adoration for her that went beyond a re professional relationship.
’After all, who doesn’t like a beautiful, gentle older woman?’
Sun Wenhao’s eyes were full of anticipation.
Soon, the person he longed for day and night appeared at the Starbucks entrance, instantly capturing the attention of many of the white-collar workers inside.
After all, Jiang Wan, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, was truly eye-catching. Even the loose-fitting Hanfu couldn’t conceal her delicate and graceful figure.
Combined with her exquisite makeup and gentle, faint smile, she brought a sense of refreshing comfort wherever she went, like a spring breeze.
"Yan Wei!"
Sun Wenhao shot to his feet and raised his hand, his expression incredibly excited.
"Over here!"
"Have you been waiting long?"
Jiang Wan sat down across from Sun Wenhao with an apologetic look, her hands resting elegantly on the skirt covering her thighs, which made him so nervous he started to stutter.
"Not long at all! Not long at all! I just got here a little while ago! Are we heading to Changxing Island today?"
"Yes."
Jiang Wan glanced at the ti on her phone.
"But we’ll have to wait a little longer. A friend of mine is coming."
’A friend?’
Jiang Wan’s words made Sun Wenhao’s smile freeze instantly, and he subconsciously asked,
"A guy or a girl?"
"A guy."
Jiang Wan said with a gentle smile.
"He’s a junior I knew from college. He wants to get into photography but doesn’t know what cara to buy, so I thought I’d have him co along so you could recomnd one for him."
"Is that so..."
Sun Wenhao smiled on the surface, but inside, he couldn’t help but grumble.
’Get into photography?’
’I bet this guy just wants to chase after Jiang Wan and made up so random excuse!’
"You know, photography isn’t sothing just anyone can pick up."
Trying to head off a potential rival, Sun Wenhao did his best to dissuade her.
"Leaving aside the fact that composition requires a ton of study and fleeting monts of inspiration, the caras alone will burn a hole in your pocket."
"I don’t think he’s short on money."
Jiang Wan tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.
"He wants to buy a cara that costs around thirty thousand yuan. I’m not very familiar with that price range. Do you have any recomndations?"
’Thirty thousand?’
’For a beginner?’
Sun Wenhao glanced at the Nikon Z50 in his hands, which suddenly didn’t seem so great anymore.
’Are you kidding , man?!’
’I’ve been doing photography for two years and only just convinced myself to buy a cara that costs around ten thousand, and this beginner is starting with one that costs thirty thousand?’
’Comparisons are the thief of joy!’
Sun Wenhao opened his mouth, about to make a snarky comnt, when Jiang Wan suddenly smiled and waved toward the entrance.
"Lin Shen! Over here!"
’Huh?’
Sun Wenhao followed Jiang Wan’s gaze and his expression froze.
’So handso!’
As everyone knows, when a girl says a guy is handso, there might be room for debate. But if a guy thinks another guy is handso, that’s absolutely convincing.
A tall and athletic build of around six feet, a delicate and clean-cut face, and a stylish, handso outfit.
This was Sun Wenhao’s first impression of Lin Shen.
"Sorry! I’m late."
Lin Shen sat down right next to Jiang Wan, a look of apology on his face.
"I ordered three drinks for us, as my apology."
"It’s fine, we just got here too."
Jiang Wan couldn’t help but look Lin Shen up and down. Her beautiful eyes, blinking, held a mixture of curiosity and amazent. She praised him with a beaming smile,
"Lin Shen, I never realized you were so handso when you dress up!"
"Thanks."
Lin Shen smiled bashfully, then looked at Sun Wenhao sitting across from them.
"And this is..."
"He’s the ’professional’ photographer I told you about."
After Jiang Wan introduced them, Lin Shen shook Sun Wenhao’s hand.
"Brother Sun, I’ll have to trouble you for so advice about the cara, then."
"No trouble, no trouble at all."
Although he was flattered that Lin Shen called him ’Brother,’ Sun Wenhao still felt a tightness in his chest.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that he was a third wheel, completely out of place with the two of them.
’It’s like we’re not even in the sa art style!’
’The handso, tall junior and the gentle, beautiful senior.’
’And the totally average tag-along photographer?’
’What is this supposed to be?!’
Sun Wenhao’s mouth twitched, and he couldn’t help but sigh internally.
’If Lin Shen were just so ordinary suitor of Jiang Wan’s, he might still have a chance to compete.’
’But this guy’s excellence was undeniable from his appearance alone. How was anyone else supposed to even play the ga?’
Sun Wenhao’s only hope now was that Lin Shen didn’t have any romantic feelings for Jiang Wan.
’But was that even possible?’
’Forget how beautiful Jiang Wan’s face was—just look at that ample bosom of hers. What man could possibly resist?’
