AI Generated Beautiful Pictures of Ma Xiaofei

Ma Xiaofei covered her mouth and chuckled, “Are you pretending to be pure?”

“I am pure. Please don't tease me, Xiaojie, or I'll blush with embarrassment.”

“I heard from Marry that you’re an aggressive little wolf cub. Do you ever get shy?” Ma Xiaofei smiled charmingly.

Lin Lang replied, “Everyone has more than one side!”

“You and Marry Yang are best friends. You know so much about me staying overnight at her place. Don’t you feel awkward?”

Ma Xiaofei actually replied, “As long as I don’t feel awkward, others will!”

“You are much more open than the conservative Marry Yang. How did you two, with such different personalities, become good friends?”

“This is how our personalities complement each other as best friends~”

“My name is Lin Lang. It’s fate to meet Marry Yang’s best friend at the Piano Art magazine. It’s a pleasure to meet you!”

Lin Lang proactively extended his hand for a polite handshake with Ma Xiaofei.

Ma Xiaofei used her fair, soft, slender hand to grasp Lin Lang’s hand, but she didn’t release it immediately. She intentionally held his hand for three extra seconds, smiling alluringly.

“I am photographer Ma Xiaofei. It’s an honor to photograph the new Master Cup Piano champion for the magazine cover and illustrations.”

The three extra seconds Ma Xiaofei intentionally held his hand, though brief, were keenly noticed by Lin Lang.

At this moment, Lin Lang’s mind was racing.

Lin Lang thought to himself, “What’s going on?”

“Marry Yang’s beautiful best friend, Ma Xiaofei, what is she up to?”

“Ma Xiaofei came on strong, as if she was deliberately trying to flirt, and the hidden information seems quite significant!”

“Could it be that I’ve neglected Marry Yang these past few days, and she intentionally sent her best friend Ma Xiaofei to tempt me, to test if I can resist temptation and to check my loyalty?”

With everything uncertain, although Ma Xiaofei gave off a flirtatious signal, Lin Lang didn’t dare to flirt back easily, choosing to wait and see.

So, Lin Lang said primly, “Shall we start working now?”

Ma Xiaofei replied with a single word, “Okay.”

Immediately after, a effeminate male makeup artist began to do Lin Lang’s makeup and hair, constantly praising Lin Lang’s good foundation, saying he was very photogenic with minimal makeup.

After the makeup and hair were done.

Lin Lang changed into the photoshoot clothing provided by the magazine.

Perhaps he was too tired last night, Lin Lang began the photoshoot, yawning intermittently.

In a corner of the studio.

Lin Lang stood beside a black piano, like a Piano Prince, dressed in a white suit, with his shirt and suit buttons neatly fastened, appearing both gentlemanly and elegant.

Lighting technicians and gaffers assisted with the photoshoot.

Fashion photographer Ma Xiaofei’s gaze was focused and passionate. She held her DSLR camera beautifully, continuously pressing the shutter, capturing every charming moment of Lin Lang.

During the photoshoot, Lin Lang yawned from time to time, clearly not in his best state.

“Stop!”

Ma Xiaofei, who had very high demands for her shoots, quickly called a halt to the session. Holding her DSLR camera, she looked at Lin Lang with a displeased expression and complained, “Lin Da Shuaige, it’s only morning and you keep yawning. Did you not sleep last night?”

Lin Lang naturally couldn't answer that he had spent a romantic and unforgettable night with his neighbor, Li Moli.

“I’m very sorry, Xiaofei Jie!”

“Perhaps I didn’t sleep well last night, which affected the photoshoot. I’ll go to the hallway and smoke a couple of cigarettes to refresh myself.”

Ma Xiaofei replied, “Alright! Then let’s pause the photoshoot.”

Lin Lang had just lit a Huazi in the hallway and smoked half of it when he saw Ma Xiaofei, with a ladies’ menthol cigarette between her fingers, approach Lin Lang and say, “Can I borrow a light?”

Lin Lang pulled out his Zippo lighter and lit Ma Xiaofei’s cigarette with a flourish, shielding the wind with one hand and lighting with the other, not losing his gentlemanly demeanor.

The two were very close.

So close that when Ma Xiaofei borrowed the light for her ladies’ menthol cigarette, she could smell the lingering jasmine scent on Lin Lang.

Ma Xiaofei lit the ladies’ menthol cigarette between her fingers, took a light puff, and politely patted Lin Lang’s hand twice as a gesture of thanks for the light.

Golden sunlight streamed through the hallway’s glass window, falling on Ma Xiaofei. Smoke swirled around her, forming a captivating scene that made Ma Xiaofei look somewhat mysterious, yet with a hint of rebelliousness.

The ladies’ menthol cigarette was delicately held between Ma Xiaofei’s two fingers. She slowly exhaled the smoke, her smoking action cool and sexy, making Lin Lang somewhat unable to resist her charm.

Ma Xiaofei’s eyes were deep and bright, as if hiding endless stories, appearing even more unfathomable through the swirling smoke.

Lin Lang casually asked, “Xiaofei Jie, you smoke too?”

Ma Xiaofei exhaled smoke and replied with a hint of melancholy, “I just learned to smoke after my divorce recently.”

Lin Lang said, “I’m sorry to bring up a painful subject.”

Ma Xiaofei flicked the ash, sneering, “It’s fine. It was pretty much a marriage in name only anyway. The sooner we broke up, the sooner we were both free.”

Lin Lang, through the System Prompt, knew that Ma Xiaofei’s ex-husband was a sailor who worked overseas for many years. The divorce rate for such migrant workers who neglect their families is extremely high.

Even without divorce, the infidelity rate for wives of workers who are at sea for years is ridiculously high.

So, Lin Lang casually said, “If it wasn’t a good match, breaking up is for the best.”

Ma Xiaofei scrutinized Lin Lang from head to toe, teasing, “It’s not even nine in the morning and you’re already yawning, Lin Da Shuaige. Tell me! Where did you go carousing last night behind my best friend Marry’s back?”

Lin Lang strategically took a puff of his Huazi and replied guiltily, “Xiaofei Jie, you’re really good at joking. Do I look like that kind of scumbag who chases girls?”

“Quite a lot!”

“Is it that obvious?”

“It’s very obvious, you can tell at a glance!”

“I don’t have a scumbag’s face, so why do you think I’m that kind of scumbag who chases girls?”

Ma Xiaofei actually replied, “You have a woman’s scent on you, a faint jasmine fragrance, and it’s not the scent of my best friend Marry.”

Lin Lang was speechless for a moment. He hadn’t expected Ma Xiaofei to detect the scent of his night of intimacy with Li Moli.

After a brief hesitation, Lin Lang lied, “Xiaofei Jie, you’ve misunderstood. The faint jasmine scent on me is just from shower gel.”

Ma Xiaofei clearly didn’t believe him after hearing that, and sneered, “Then what brand of jasmine-scented shower gel do you use?”

Lin Lang had trouble answering.

“If you can tell me the brand of the jasmine-scented shower gel, I’ll believe you didn’t go carousing behind my best friend Marry’s back. If you can’t, it proves I’ve got solid evidence that you’re a scumbag.”

“This…”

Lin Lang was waiting for the All-Purpose Entry Prompt System, but found that the System 2.0 version was updating…

“Holy crap!”

“My All-Purpose Entry Prompt System can actually auto-update versions? That’s unheard of!”

Lin Lang couldn't help but curse inwardly that the system chose the worst possible time to update, failing him at a crucial moment.

Helpless, Lin Lang could only shrug and say, “I really didn’t pay attention to what brand of shower gel we use at home. I’ll check when I shower tonight and tell you next time we meet.”

Ma Xiaofei took a light puff of her menthol cigarette, deliberately exhaling the smoke with a hazy gaze towards Lin Lang, who was lying, and sneered, “Your eyes were a bit shifty when you just spoke, you didn’t dare to look me directly in the eye. You’re clearly lying.”

Ma Xiaofei’s flirtatious action seemed to see through Lin Lang’s lie, and also seemed to be deliberately teasing him, making Lin Lang momentarily flustered.

Lin Lang said melancholically, “As the saying goes, innocent until proven guilty. Xiaofei Jie, you can’t judge others by yourself and nail me to the pillar of shame as a scumbag based on just this one point, can you?”

Ma Xiaofei, however, scrutinized Lin Lang and chuckled, “I’m a professional photographer, skilled at observing micro-expressions and capturing every moment. So I’ve judged countless people and I’m very accurate.”

“Although you have a righteous and handsome face, and your eyes are very clean and clear, there’s a scumbag aura emanating from you.”

Lin Lang wiped cold sweat after hearing that, and weakly said, “No way?”

“Xiaofei Jie, why do you talk about yourself as if you have Sun Wukong’s Fiery Golden Eyes?!”

“Although I, Lin Lang, am not a true gentleman, I always adhere to my principles and would not do anything to let Marry Yang down.”

Ma Xiaofei actually said, “Explanation is concealment, and concealment is the truth.”

Lin Lang broke into a cold sweat and said, “Why do I feel like I’m just making things worse?”

Ma Xiaofei actually replied, “Actually, you don’t need to be so nervous. I’m very easy to bribe. It’s not impossible for me to keep your scumbag secret.”

Lin Lang instantly lost all sleepiness.

Ma Xiaofei handed a business card to Lin Lang, raising her eyebrows charmingly and tenderly, “Call me sometime!”

Lin Lang took Ma Xiaofei’s business card.

The six words “Call me sometime” concealed a lot of information.

It all depended on how Lin Lang interpreted those six words, “Call me sometime.”

Of course, the final interpretation right still lay with Ma Xiaofei, who sent the signal.

Although Ma Xiaofei was incredibly sexy and beautiful, she was, after all, Marry Yang’s best friend, which momentarily flustered Lin Lang. He had a faint feeling of being jointly set up by the two best friends to test his loyalty.

Of course, perhaps Ma Xiaofei was just that kind of best friend who you can guard against fire and theft, but not against her.

Lin Lang held Ma Xiaofei’s business card, his mind racing, thinking, “What is this divorced beauty, Ma Xiaofei, up to?”

“Is she trying to steal the show and sleep with her best friend Marry Yang’s lover?”

“Or did Marry Yang intentionally send her best friend Ma Xiaofei to test my loyalty?”

As the saying goes, 'you can't see into a person's heart.' With the current uncertainties and no system prompts, Lin Lang couldn't be sure if Ma Xiaofei was genuinely flirting with him.

Lin Lang didn't want to lose the mixed-race beauty director Marry Yang, so he naturally didn't dare to easily provoke her best friend. After all, it could easily backfire completely.

“Lin Da Shuaige, I see you’re no longer sleepy. Let’s continue working and resume the photoshoot!”

Without giving Lin Lang more time to think, Ma Xiaofei had already extinguished her cigarette and, swaying her hips gracefully, returned to the studio with a charming, seductive walk.

Lin Lang took two deep puffs of his Huazi, exhaling a swirling cloud of smoke, and looking at Ma Xiaofei’s sexy and enchanting back, he felt somewhat intoxicated.
