Qin Qing carefully painted on Ling Ling's face and introduced to her the functions of various cosmetics and the usage of makeup tools. Although Ling Ling felt that she could not use them, she still carefully remembered Qin Qing's explanation.
It was also the first time that Ling Ling realized that there was so much knowledge involved in makeup. She gradually became fascinated and would occasionally ask about things she didn't understand.
Seeing Ling Ling's serious attitude, Qin Qing naturally would not be too coy. She answered whatever Ling Ling asked, and the two of them seemed extremely harmonious together.
The makeup time, which was already not short, became even longer. But Qin Qing didn't mind, because most of the photos were taken indoors anyway.
Finally, the makeup was done. Ling Ling looked in the mirror and found that she had become more mature and charming. Yes! She was charming. Ling Ling didn't know why she felt this way. She casually posed a few times and found that she was actually amazed by herself. Makeup was indeed one of the four great magics.

Should I update another chapter? Give me some motivation.
Chapter 17 God damn Miracle Nikki
After putting on makeup, Ling Ling followed Qin Qing to a room specially used for storing clothes. Looking at the dazzling array of clothes on the rows of hangers, Ling Ling felt dizzy. If she had to change into each set of clothes to take photos, she probably wouldn't be able to finish taking photos until tomorrow.
As if seeing through Ling Ling's little thoughts, Qin Qing smiled and said, "There are not so many. Only the ones on the first row of hangers are real. The others are all my previous works."
"work?"
"Well, have you heard of 'Miracle Nikki'?"
"Miracle Nikki?" Ling Ling's first thought was the pink-haired girl who traveled around the world, and her second thought was the world-famous clothing company. They were involved in almost all areas of clothing, including consumers of all ages, but only limited to women's clothing. No need to think, it must be the latter.
Ling Ling nodded, indicating that she knew. She also learned some information about "Miracle Nikki" on the Internet, and she often saw "Miracle Nikki" clothing chain stores on the roadside, so how could she not know about it.
“I used to be the chief designer there.”
Qin Qing's gentle words brought a huge shock to Ling Ling. He asked with some stammering: "Then...then why..."
"Why don't you want to do it anymore? It's because it's too tiring. Being a chief designer is simply not a human being." Qin Qing said with a smile, but Ling Ling could tell from her slightly bitter smile that things were not that simple.
"Then...where is Sirou's father?" Ling Ling just remembered that she seemed to have never met Qin Qing's husband.
"We are divorced."
"No... sorry." Ling Ling didn't expect that his casual question would actually lead to something that he shouldn't have asked.
Qin Qing smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's all over. Let's not talk about this anymore, let's get started." As he spoke, Qin Qing skillfully took out a series of filming equipment from a box beside him and started to adjust them.
Ling Ling looked at Qin Qing in surprise. Wasn't she a fashion designer? Why was she so skilled in handling photographic equipment? She had a friend in her previous life who was a professional in these things but was not as skilled as her.
"Don't look at me like this. I was the director of the photography department when I was in college." There was a hint of pride in Qin Qing's tone. It seemed that her achievements in photography should not be low.
While Qin Qing was adjusting the equipment, Ling Ling also took a set of clothes and went into the next room to change. He felt that he was becoming more and more proficient in wearing women's clothes. He still felt a little at a loss when he tried to put them on a few days ago.
Not long after, Qin Qing had prepared the equipment. Ling Ling took a deep breath, then stood in position and posed according to Qin Qing's request.
"Ling Ling, your expression should be more natural, it's too stiff."
"Relax a little more, you're too tense."
"What are you thinking about? Your eyes are distracted."
Ling Ling tried hard to do what Qin Qing said, but no matter what she did, there was always something wrong. This was the first time she did this, and she was actually pretty good, but Qin Qing was a perfectionist, so she never got a satisfactory photo.
"Let's take a break first."
Qin Qing sighed helplessly. She now wondered if she was being too demanding on Ling Ling. Looking at the photos taken before, she thought that it should be enough to use as a billboard, but she always felt that something was missing.
Ling Ling sat on the chair. Although the posture just now was not difficult, it was still a bit tiring after a long time. While resting, he also thought about what he was missing just now.
At this moment, Ling Yu and Qin Sirou came in excitedly. Seeing Qin Qing holding a camera, they asked curiously, "Are you taking pictures?"
Qin Qing touched Ling Yu's head and said with a smile, "Yes, yes. Yu Yu, do you want to take a photo too?"
"want!"
"Mom, I want one too~" Qin Sirou next to her also expressed her desire to take a picture.
So Qin Qing started taking pictures of the two little girls. Looking at the innocent smiles of the two little girls, Ling Ling's mouth corners couldn't help but curl up.
Qin Qing happened to see this scene at this time, and quickly picked up the camera to take a picture of this scene. Looking at the photo she just took, she nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Ling Ling excitedly: "That's it, the smile from the heart when you looked at Yuyu was simply perfect."
"A smile from the heart..."
Qin Qing nodded and said, "Although your usual smile is also very nice, it always feels a bit formulaic. The only difference is when you smile to Yui Yui."
"Then... then I'll try again." Ling Ling closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, the corners of her mouth slowly rose, and finally revealed her incomparable beauty.
······
"Let's stop here this afternoon and continue after dinner. You and Yuiyu can stay here tonight."
Qin Qing put down the camera in her hand and rubbed her blurry eyes. Although Ling Ling's efficiency in taking pictures increased after she mastered the trick, too much time was wasted in the past, resulting in only less than half of the pictures being taken so far, and she would need to work overtime in the evening.
"Just stay here if I tell you to. Don't talk nonsense to me. Do you think it's still early after taking the photos? Do you want me, as your boss, to send a small employee like you back home? This place is close to where you will be working tomorrow, but are you worried that I don't have any spare clothes?" Before Ling Ling could say anything, Qin Qing blocked her from saying what she wanted to say.
Ling Ling nodded helplessly while sitting on the chair. Qin Qing had already said this, and if she didn't agree, she would be too ignorant of the ways of the world. She stood up and walked to the window, pulling open the curtains. The sun was about to set, and the setting sun shone through the window onto Ling Ling's body, just like putting on a golden wedding dress for her, brilliant and gorgeous.
Qin Qing stared at this scene blankly, forgetting to speak for a moment. After coming to his senses, he quickly picked up the camera and preserved this scene forever. This is definitely a great collection.
······
Upon hearing that he could stay the night here, Ling Yu happily snuggled into Ling Ling's arms and kissed her on the cheek.
As for dinner, they naturally ordered takeout. Ling Ling and Qin Qing were so busy taking pictures that they didn't even buy any food. There was no food in the refrigerator. Most importantly, neither of them felt like cooking. To put it bluntly, they were just lazy, so they could only order takeout.
To be honest, the takeaways in this world are pretty good, and they are delivered very quickly, basically within half an hour. If it were in my previous life, I would just think about it.

Well~ I wrote this chapter in the middle of the night, so just read it.
Chapter 18 Facial Cleanser
"Ah~Finally finished filming."
Ling Ling stretched lazily. The black dress she was wearing now was her last one. She really didn't expect that taking a photo would be so tiring. It seemed that she was still too young.
Qin Qing looked at the time, then said to Ling Ling, "It's getting late. Go take a shower first. I'll bring you some clean clothes later."
Looking at the bathroom in front of him, which was not much smaller than his room, Ling Ling sighed helplessly. When would he have money? Never mind. After a tiring day, he would take a bath to relax. There was also a large bathtub here, which was perfect for a bath.
After Ling Ling finished washing her hair, she suddenly realized that she didn't seem to ask Qin Qing for a towel.
