But I fell in love with You
Chapter 5: Fishing
As soon as the news of Huo Yixuan's transfer to Sixth form school spread, all the girls in the school got excited.
When their classes ended, the girls on the same grade leaned on every available windows that overlooked their class and watched them. Then the girls from the other grades started to pour in one after another.
Those mooning eyes wished they could stick themselves to Huo Yixuan’s body.
Yang Nainai counted the girls who repeatedly appeared. The girls in her class passed by her desk at least 30 times today, pretending to hand in or look for their homework. They then lingered and pretended to have something to chat with her about. Those roving eyes never left Huo Yixuan’s person.
Whenever Huo Yixuan got up to go to the toilet, those crazy girls all followed him as well.
They blocked the boy’s toilet and caused confusion to spread among a group of boys thinking that they went to the wrong toilet.
This went on for another five consecutive days before their enthusiasm finally subsided. Yang Nainai also felt that her life gradually returned back to normal.
The two of them spent their time quite normally for those past few days. She didn’t even talk to Huo Yixuan about anything else other than their lessons.
Huo Yixuan was indifferent to everyone and kept his distance. After a few days of tiptoeing around him, Yang Nainai found that this person really didn't remember her at all. She finally felt at ease. As long as he didn't know that she was the one who had been photographing him secretly, then everything would be fine.
The weekend rolled in pretty quickly. Yang Nainai had finished her homework early on so she brought her long and short weapons[1], and was ready to start her work.
Huo Yixuan had just transferred to another school, so those excited girls squatted everywhere just to take his pictures secretly. All her photos of him were not selling at all at this point.
After Huo Yixuan left, those girls at the private high school must have hungered most for his photos, Yang Nainai thought. She then made a decision to go there today to meet her old classmates and also keep a lookout for any new handsome faces.
She finally went to the private high school that weekend. Although it was a holiday, there were still a lot of students staying behind in the hostel as many of them did not go home on the weekends.
When Yang Nainai arrived, the school gate was wide open. She had a petite stature and looked just like a student. So even though she didn't wear the school uniform, the security guard didn't even stop her at all.
This was the first time that Yang Nainai had entered through the main entrance. She paid close attention to her surroundings as she walked. When she saw someone who is even remotely good looking, she will just snap a photo.
Her old classmate Jiang Yuan arrived not long after and the two hugged each other happily.
"Aiya, why didn’t you come sooner? What good things did you bring me this time?"
Jiang Yuan rubbed her hands together with glee and then took Yang Nainai to her classroom.
There was no one there. Fortunately, she had the key so she opened the door and went in.
Yang Nainai took out the envelope and smiled,
"Your male god, Xue Kai."
When Jiang Yuan saw the photo, she squealed in delight, her spring heart soared happily,
"Darling, I really really love you so so much. Only you can secretly take such stunning single shot candid portraits.”
Yang Nainai looked at how she kept fiddling with it, unable to put it down. After a while, she asked her,
"Okay, let's get down to business, do you know why Huo Yixuan suddenly transferred to our school?"
When Jiang Yuan heard her words, she put away the photo and said,
"I heard that his mother was the one who requested for the transfer. I don't know the nitty gritty details. But as soon as he left, the girls in this school all cried until they almost dried up."
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but shudder when she thought about what happened and continued to criticize them.
"Huo Yixuan's looks and temperament are evil and cold. He is not somebody you should offend at all. I don’t understand how those girls can go crazy at the sight of him and get obsessed. My gentle and sunny Kaikai is miles better anyway."
Yang Nainai couldn't help but retort,
"Every flower has it own admirers[2]. That's not important anyway, my main point is, didn't you have some big clients you wanted to introduce to me?!"
That was supposed to be the main focus!
Jiang Yuan suddenly recalled what she was supposed to tell her,
"Ah, that’s right."
She took out her mobile phone and forwarded a QR code to her,
"This person is willing to pay a high price to buy the top-secret photos of Huo Yixuan. From what I can see, she will even agree to give you 3,000 yuan if you sell it to her.”
Yang Nainai was stunned, "Are you sure it’s legit? How can she be so rich? Is she a lily white daughter of some rich tycoon?"
Jiang Yuan nodded,
"Anyway, her family is quite rich, so she eats all the expensive food and wears branded clothing. She has at least a few thousand yuan of pocket money per week but she doesn't really have other hobbies at all and is crazy about Huo Yixuan. If you have such a stunning single print photo, you'd be right to sell it to her."
Yang Nainai was a little worried when she looked at the QR code. In the end, she was still hitting her ball outside the legal grounds of law by secretly taking other people’s photos and selling them without their consent.
They are such intimate photos too, so even if she wanted to sell them, she must first know who the buyer is.
"Are you familiar with her? Why didn't you bring her out to meet me?"
Jiang Yuan shook her head,
"My friend was the one who introduced this girl to me, saying that this girl is from another place. She seemed to have attended the same school as Huo Yixuan before, but I have never seen her in person. What are you afraid of?"
Yang Nainai still felt that there was something weird about the situation, she thought of it for a while then said,
“I’ll add her first, then we’ll talk about it. The price I’m charging her is not something to sneeze at and I’m also afraid of causing trouble.”
Jiang Yuan sneered, “You are too cautious, isn’t it just a photo? Is it that important? It’s rare to meet a big client, so why don’t you just sell that photo quickly and go buy your beloved baby as soon as possible?"
Yang Nainai didn't say anything more and changed the subject. She asked again if anyone else in their school wanted Huo Yixuan's photos. There were no new handsome guys in all the schools recently. The male students she saw were pretty much the same when it came to the looks department. She then left the private high school in the afternoon.
That night, Yang Nainai hesitated for a long time, but decided to add the person’s WeChat in the end.
The person took a long time before she replied, she had a no nonsense attitude, and directly asked her if she had any photos of Huo Yixuan.
Yang Nainai thought about it and sent her a few photos she took recently.
When the person received the photos, she transferred 100 yuan to her without hesitation. She also said that she wanted Huo Yixuan's limited private photos too. Yang Nainai only needed to quote a price for her.
Yang Nainai didn't give her a definite answer, she only told her that they could discuss it if they had a chance to talk next time.
She closed her WeChat messaging app, while eagerness bubbled in Yang Nainai’s heart. Jiang Yuan’s words lingered in her mind as she did tell her that if the person was willing to spend the money, then she would have her baby in her hands sooner rather than later.
But... sigh, she wasn’t in a hurry anyway so she should just wait.
A few days later, Yang Nainai had already gotten used to Huo Yixuan sitting beside her, asking her some questions about his studies from time to time. She gradually became less defensive and focused on her studies more.
This was already her final year in high school, so the subjects were not easy.
Yang Nainai didn’t know when she had noticed that Huo Yixuan got along pretty well with the boys in the class. During recess, she would even see him chatting and laughing with the boys from the other classes and played basketball after school was over.
They still didn't have much interaction as they both went on with their own lives.
That day Yang Nainai happened to pass by the camera shop again. She was surprised to find that the lens was finally on sale!
"12,000?"
Yang Nainai was shocked as it was so much cheaper than she had expected it to be. She giddily pushed open the door and went in to ask the salesperson how long their discount would last for.
The salesperson told her that the discount is only available for three days so if she wanted to buy it, she must buy it fast because they won’t re-stock the item once it runs out.
Excitement filled Yang Nainai’s heart as she ran home and rummaged through her piggy bank, only to find out that she was still a few thousand yuan short. In the end, her gaze fell on her phone.
She fidgeted uneasily as she stared at the username and walked back and forth repeatedly. To sell, or not to sell?
Discounts, lenses, events. These words kept surging in her mind, and in the end, she couldn't resist the temptation and contacted that person.
[Hi, are you in?]
This time that person replied pretty quickly.
[Yes, are there any new photos?]
Yang Nainai clasped her hands together while her lips muttered a silent prayer:
"Dear lord, please bless me just this once. I will only do this one time and wash my hands from this kind of trade from this day on. I promise that I will never ever do this kind of thing again in the future."
When she had completely calmed her nerves down, she sent a photo to her. Although the zoomed in photo was blurry, the person could still clearly see that it was a n*de photo of Huo Yixuan.
The other party was quiet for quite some time making Yang Nainai uneasy as she paced around her apartment. The person finally replied after ten minutes.
[How big is the photo? How much are you selling it for?]
Yang Nainai immediately typed:
[Nett price, 3,000,
Out-of-print photo.
This is the only print,
A3 size,
No negatives will be left behind.]
The person paused for a while then typed:
[The price is a bit steep so I want to personally inspect the goods before I pay on the spot.]
Yang Nainai paused too then she agreed.
[Where should we meet up at?]
The person typed,
[Wednesday, 6PM, at the intersection behind the private high school.]
Although Yang Nainai still had some doubts, she just couldn’t deny the temptation of possessing the camera. She keyed in an ok gesture and agreed to the person’s request.
After confirming everything, Yang Nainai looked at the photo inside the frame. A burst of conflicting emotions flooded her heart. She had taken this photo at the swimming complex by chance. She had originally went there to help her teacher take a collage of photos for the swimming lessons held there. She didn’t expect to take his photo at all that day.
In the photo, Huo Yixuan was walking towards the locker room to change his clothes. One of his hand was busy combing through his wet hair and he was only clad in a brief pair of swimming trunks while his eight pack abs rippled in that casual pose.
Yang Nainai's camera lenses caught him at a tricky angle. She blocked his swimming trunks with the railings so that when the light hit him right, he looked as if he was completely n@ked.
Coupled with Huo Yixuan's good figure, she managed to capture his seductive sensuality.
This was her proudest work of all. After she had adjusted the hue, anyone who sees it will get a nosebleed.
She originally wanted it to be her private collection, but now it seems like it was time to sacrifice it.
She didn't know that while she was rejoicing with a heart full of hope, the person at the other end lifted the corners of the lips sinisterly,
"The fish has taken the bait."
Translation corner:
[1]Her long and short weapons: 长枪短炮 - all her necessary equipment
[2]Every flower has it own admirers: 各花入各眼 - is similar to the idiom beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. It means that everyone has their own preferences when it comes to beauty.
