Qin Guan was sitting casually on the floor with crossed legs. A big fat bear nearly the same height as him was in his arms. It felt like it was early morning, and the boy and the bear were waking up from a good dream. In the soft yellow lights of the shooting studio, the hair of the bear and the thin hair on Qin Guan’s face were clear.
Taking the advantage of her position, the assistant immediately decided to keep the photo. That would be one more picture added to her Qin Guan poster collection. It was enough to make her smile for the whole day.
The photographer put away the camera and saw Qin Guan and the bear lying on the floor side by side. Their heads were close, and the podgy legs of the bear rested softly on Qin Guan's thigh. They looked like two children snuggling up to each other, full of pure, warm childishness. The click of the camera sounded again, and the assistant looked around for her tissue.
The scene reminded the boss of his own daughter, who had had too much food that day. The boss thought that his daughter had looked as lovely as the large bear. Shall I buy some pig's feet for her on my way home? She will look as lovely as that bear in that kid-sized shirt. Dear boss, you might be overestimating your daughter.
Sister Xue had just finished a cigarette outside. Such an easy photoshoot was nothing for Qin Guan. In her spare time, she had set up an interview for Qin Guan with Ni Dalei of New Silk Road. After Qin Guan had won the competition, Ni Dalei had selected new jobs for him. After all, with a domestic prize, Qin Guan’s level had been promoted to somewhere between C+ and B-.
Ni had made several interview appointments, including a shooting for a magazine spread, a brand T show, and a still advertisement. Ni expected Qin Guan’s work to increase even further.
Sister Xue hung up the phone, threw away the butt of the cigarette, and returned to the shooting site. She found Qin Guan lying on the floor and embracing a bear with a silly expression on his face. I’m doomed to be his babysitter. I leave for a minute, and the boy starts acting silly again.
When the photographer handed her the photo excitedly though, she understood what the expression "fortune favors fools" meant. The theme of the photos could have been "Angel Dreaming", a sweet but appropriate title. The happy, content smile of the boy matched the cute bear well.
The photoshoot was completed with great success thanks to Qin Guan's cuteness.
Qin Guan was paid 5,000 yuan, out of which 1,500 yuan went to Sister Xue. Sister Xue packed the bag and returned to her car, only to find Qin Guan in the passenger seat, wearing that kids shirt and holding the bear and the money in his hands.
He was smiling at her stupidly, which made her angry. She pushed the big bear away in disdain and started the car. "You are a 19 year-old man, Qin Guan. Why are you still interested in stuffed toys?"
