Chapter 88：Rockabye by Clean Bandit

The huge studio was decorated in four different styles of scenes, two indoors and two outdoors. The outdoor scene had a blue swimming pool, a few sun umbrellas and beach chairs. There was also a garden full of colorful flowers, small round tables, small rattan chairs, swing, picnic baskets and cashmere rugs. All the things a luxurious garden should have.

The indoor scenes were arranged at both ends of the studio, one was a very modern and simple living room. All the furniture was black and white, the floor and window was scrubbed clean, and bright sun poured in. A pure white leather sofa was surrounded be a layer of golden light, bringing out a warm feeling.

The other end had a gorgeous and elegant Baroque-style living room. All the furniture was styled in gold-colored lace, the ceiling and columns was carved in gorgeous patterns, and the ground was covered with a soft, red velvet, flower patterned rug. Every corner of the room exuded a heavy antique aura.

With these four scenes, no matter what style of photo you wanted to shoot, you would be able to find the right place. They could see how much energy and effort the program group put in for this show.

Bonnie let the players come up and draw straws to decide the order, then she gave them time to consider what scene they should choose, which style, what poses and which partner. They had to think clearly then tell Bonnie their thoughts and record it, and no matter how wonderful their second idea was, no changes could be made. This was fair for everyone.

Whether they chose wisely or foolishly, Bonnie and Acheson wouldn't interfere. They needed to see whether each player had a supermodel's fashion sense.

Zhou Yun Sheng drew fifth place, it was neither a good nor bad spot. His eyes moved back and forth between Bonnie and Gustav, then he finally settled on Bonnie's beautiful and refined face. They say 'To reduce exhaustion, make a man and woman work together', although he was gay so this shouldn't apply to him, but for a photoshoot, a beautiful man and woman standing together would always multiply the attractiveness. In his mind, he was already selecting clothing and poses for Bonnie, and deciding on the photo shoot location.

Well, that's decided. He nodded and brushed a strand of hair off his forehead.

The two who were quietly concerned about the boy's decision noticed his nod. Bonnie chuckled in schadenfreude, "It seems that Kitten has chosen me, sorry boss."

Gustav's smile was still gentle and elegant, but his heart was miserable. He wanted to walk over and chat with Kitten for a while, get his goodwill and become his partner, but that was too eye-catching, all the other players would start targeting him.

Merciful God, please tell me, what should I do? If possible, give me a chance to get close to him. After praying, he suddenly realized that God would be very disgusted with his homosexuality, so he probably wouldn't get any help from him.

So… I'll go to the devil, if he can make my wish come true, then I'll exchange my soul. He wiped his face and tried to keep himself from showing his frustration and dark thoughts.

While Gustav was having a crisis of faith, Ivana walked up and poked the boy's waist, "Hey, who are you going to choose?"

"I chose Bonnie, she and I'll shoot great photos." Zhou Yun Sheng was holding a pencil and sketching a quick slide. The scene in his mind was printed out on the paper with his superb drawing skills, especially Bonnie, who was wearing a palace evening gown, it was simply lifelike.

John aimed at the sketch book for a long time, secretly marveling at the child's versatility. Even as a layman, he could realize that a painter needed a solid foundation and superb skills to draw such life-like, complex, and gorgeous art in just a few minutes.

The young man was like a diamond mine, the deeper you dug, the more gems you found. The audience will be more fascinated by him after this episode.

Ivana took the sketch and whistled in appreciation, she admired it for a moment, then tore it out of the book and stuffed it in her own backpack. Then she boldly ordered, "You can't choose Bonnie, she's mine. Why do you want to use a female partner anyway? A male partner can also show the style you need. Choose Mr. Acheson. Then we can avoid being compared to each other by Bonnie. We don't need to compete with each other so soon."

In fact, who Zhou Yun Sheng chose didn't matter, as a past supermodel, he could do this job with a hand tied behind his back. He adjusted the scene in his mind, then nodded, "All right, I'll take Mr. Acheson."

"Excellent choice my darling." Ivana said in an exaggerated tone and hugged him heartily.

Seeing this scene, Bonnie regretfully shook her head, "Aww, looks like Ivana persuaded him to change. Kitten is yours."

Gustav quickly suppressed the corners of his mouth to avoid laughing like a fool. Ivana is a very good friend, she is a positive influence on Kitten. Maybe I should leave her till the end. He was half-serious about this decision.

Half an hour later, Bonnie looked at the watch, stood up and clapped her hands, "Well, times up. Now, in accordance with the shooting order, come with me to discuss your photo shoot plans. Remember, once you set a photo shoot partner and theme, you're not allowed to change it."

The players shouted their confirmation in unison, then took their notes to discuss with Bonnie. Gustav sat quietly in a leather chair and didn't make any comments.

As expected, all the male players had chosen Bonnie (except for Romeo that freak) and all the female players had chosen Mr. Acheson (expect for Ivana that freak). When all the choices were finalized, Bonnie and Gustav both stood up and filmed with a player each at the same time, saving a lot of time.

Zhou Yun Sheng was the fifth player up, but after selecting his partner, he became the second. Time was a bit more urgent, but this didn't affect his confidence, he had already chosen their clothing and instructed the stylist on how they should style him and Gustav.

If the clothing choice was bad, the selected set was inappropriate, and the styling was bad, then this photo shoot session would be half destroyed, and the other half would completely rely on personal performance. So, this game was not just a competition between good or bad photos, it was a test of fashion sense. In order to pick out the best of these potential models, the program group had gone through great pains to design worthy trials.

Gustav was working with a female player and posing by the pool, he was feeling extremely cranky. In order to attract the attention of the fashion circle big shot, most of the female players had chosen to wear bikinis. They understood that direct intimacy was the best weapon to seduce a man.

But the truth was exactly the opposite of what they'd imagined, Gustav was not interested in them in the slightest. But as one of the world's most elite male models, no one should see his impatience. He cooperated professionally with them, and as long as the female player made a request, he would satisfactorily complete the expression and action. But in fact, if he had a time machine, he wouldn't hesitate to skip all these people, then freeze his minutes together with Kitten.

Because she was too nervous, the first female player didn't perform well and the photographer spent a lot of effort to guide her. Gustav reluctantly restrained the restlessness in his heart. All the women were surrounding and watching the shoot, but his Kitten hadn't come. He'd wanted him to see the sexy swimmer he'd deliberately selected.

Thirty shots later, he immediately put on a bath towel and walked toward the room. The cute boy trotted up to him, his platinum curls fluttering gently.

He took a deep breath and asked softly, "Romeo, have you chosen your clothing and style?"

"All done, please come with me." Zhou Yun Sheng exposed a nervous expression.

"Don't be nervous, treat me like a new friend." Gustav naturally embraced his shoulders, his face smiling, but his heart was bouncing, almost jumping out of his throat.

"All right." Zhou Yun Sheng gave a well-behaved cute nod.

As they walked into the dressing room, Gustav, while changing his clothes, casually asked, "I heard you didn't want to choose me as your partner before, why not?"

If the answer was not good, he could possibly offend the person who controlled his outcome in this game, so flattery was necessary, but there should be some sincerity, and no trace of kissing ass. Zhou Yun Sheng lowered his eyelids to hide from the man's sharp gaze and said shyly "Because, because if I had to work with Mr. Acheson, I would be too nervous. Too nervous to know where to put my hands and feet."

Then he quickly glanced at the man's face, his face red enough to drip blood.

He's shy? So cute! How can he be so cute?! I'm the one who doesn't know where to put my hands and feet! Gustav's heart was wailing, filling with desire, if he doesn't do something to make the boy like him, these desires would choke him in his sleep.

He really wanted to hold Kitten in his arms and fiercely kiss his little mouth, to make his sea blue eyes fill with lustful tears.

No matter how dirty his inner thoughts, Gustav's appearance was always gentle and elegant. He finished dressing then intimately rubbed the boy's head, and comforted him, "You don't need to be tense around me. I'm just like you, just an ordinary person. I'm 193 cm tall, weigh 78 kg, 28 years old this year, no bad habits, my favorite sport is snooker, my favorite color is gray, my favorite food is steak … …"

He introduced himself in detail, then reached out, "So, now you know me enough to treat me as a friend, not a distant idol."

Zhou Yun Sheng didn't expect Gustav Acheson would be so approachable. He was slightly stunned for a moment, then he grasped the other's hands, and gave a shy smile.

"You should also introduce yourself, this will increase our understanding and familiarity. Familiarity and understanding is the best way to bring harmony into a photo shoot." Gustav immediately climbed up the pole. [Someone extends you a pole (opportunity) and you climb up it (take it)]

Finally, they were on the path to become friends, his heart was very excited.
