Chapter 49: The Interview Scene
Outside was completely quiet. The door to the neighboring room was tightly closed, without a single sound. Gu Jiani had probably already gone to sleep.
Zhang Yang felt relieved and walked straight into the bathroom to take a shower.
Amid the sound of running water, he finished showering comfortably, then unhurriedly stood in front of the mirror to blow-dry his hair.
A moment later, his hair became fluffy. Satisfied, he put down the hairdryer and walked out of the bathroom.
At some point, the living room light had been turned on.
Zhang Yang walked out shirtless from the bathroom and immediately saw Gu Jiani standing by the table, holding a cup of water and drinking.
Ah, this…
Under the light, Zhang Yang stopped in his tracks, the light falling across his flawless physique.
Gu Jiani held the cup motionless, completely stunned.
That jet-black hair, the perfectly proportioned muscle lines on every inch of his body, a physique as perfect as a Greek sculpture.
She gulped down a large mouthful of water and suddenly choked.
"Oh my god, I never imagined Zhang Yang had this kind of body under his clothes!" her thoughts became a chaotic mess. "Why does he even wear clothes… no, no, why isn't he wearing any clothes?"
The visual impact was so overwhelming that even when she closed her eyes now, she couldn't shake the image away.
At this moment, the sense of envy in her mind had reached its peak.
With a boyfriend like this, how happy must Bei Wei be?
Zhang Yang had money and spent generously-she could at most feel surprised by that. But right now, faced with this scene, Gu Jiani was genuinely envious.
"You just finished showering?" Gu Jiani's face felt burning hot. Her expression was slightly flustered, but she still forced herself to remain calm.
After all, if she suddenly turned and ran now, it would look too guilty. It was better to pretend she hadn't noticed and take the chance to admire a little longer.
Thinking this, she seized the moment and glanced a few more times at the body before her.
"Mm, just finished. Well… take your time drinking. I'll head back in first," Zhang Yang said. He also felt a bit embarrassed.
He wasn't an exhibitionist or narcissist. Being seen shirtless like this in a woman's apartment really wasn't very appropriate.
The two exchanged a few awkward words, both understanding the situation without saying it out loud, then each returned to their own rooms.
Inside the room, Zhang Yang had just gotten under the blanket when Bei Wei sleepily wrapped herself around him.
"Brother Zhang, why did you take so long?"
"Not too long. Just dried my hair," Zhang Yang said while holding Bei Wei, easily touching her smooth skin.
Curled up in his arms, Bei Wei murmured drowsily, "Brother Zhang, hold me and sleep earlier… mm… so annoying…"

Early the next morning, Zhang Yang woke up early and happened to run into Gu Jiani, who had also gotten up early.
"Morning." Being a man, although he felt a bit awkward last night, this morning he looked completely normal.
"…Morning." Gu Jiani's eyes quickly swept over Zhang Yang, her face slightly warm.
Breakfast had been bought downstairs by Gu Jiani in advance. Thanks to her, she had also brought some for Zhang Yang and Bei Wei, filling a small table.
After eating, Gu Jiani still had to go to school. As for Zhang Yang, he also had to go complete his interview today-well… as a print model.
Of course, only he knew about this. No one else knew.
Only Bei Wei, the lazy one, was still sleeping soundly. When Zhang Yang got up earlier, he didn't wake her.
While eating breakfast, the atmosphere at the table was a bit quiet.
"Well… Zhang Yang, about what happened before… I actually… actually wanted to apologize to you," Gu Jiani finally said hesitantly while stirring the red bean sweet soup with a spoon.
"Mm…" Zhang Yang responded casually, waiting for what she would say next.
"And then…" Gu Jiani looked at Zhang Yang with hopeful eyes. "And then… could Bei Wei not move out for now?"
"That matter?" Zhang Yang said vaguely. "We'll talk about it later."
Whether to move out or not was between him and Bei Wei. There was no way he would give her a definite answer. Simply put, they could move anytime if they wanted-it depended on his mood.
But Gu Jiani immediately misunderstood his meaning.
"I understand. Thank you, Brother Zhang." Gu Jiani was overjoyed and suddenly stood up, bowing seriously. "Thank you for being so generous and not holding a grudge against someone like me."
Zhang Yang looked at Gu Jiani, genuinely surprised this time.
With her kind of pride…
"Brother Zhang, take your time eating. You're welcome to come often in the future." Gu Jiani's mood instantly became cheerful as she went into her room. Not long after, she came out wearing a spaghetti-strap short dress, looking like a hot senior student.
"I'm leaving first, Brother Zhang." She slung her Hermès bag over her shoulder, turned back with a smile and wave, and left first.
Zhang Yang slowly finished breakfast and went to Bei Wei's room.
"Lazybones, are you awake?" He pinched Bei Wei's nose.
"I'm still sleepy," Bei Wei mumbled a few words. Her fair face rested against her black hair as she sank into deeper sleep.
Zhang Yang smiled slightly, leaned down to kiss Bei Wei on the cheek, then turned and left.
Half an hour later, Bei Wei gradually woke up.
"Brother Zhang… Zhang Yang? Where are you?" She touched her cheek, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and then saw the message Zhang Yang had left on her phone. Her eyes curved into a sweet smile.
With her pale legs bare and feet on the floor, Bei Wei walked to the window, pulled open the curtains, and closed her eyes slightly as she embraced the May morning, her heart overflowing with happiness.

After going back and changing clothes, Zhang Yang headed straight to the company of the fashion magazine.
Inside a Grade-A office building in [A major financial district in Shanghai known for its iconic skyline and landmark skyscrapers in Pudong.], [A district of Shanghai known for its modern development, financial centers, and illuminated skyline.], the place was bustling with people. Everywhere were tall and handsome young men.
Today, Aisha Fashion Weekly was selecting print models here. It was said that male models who performed especially well had a chance to sign a contract and become resident models for Aisha Fashion, with very generous compensation and benefits. Because of this, many people had come after hearing the news.
When Zhang Yang arrived and looked around at the crowd of handsome men and beautiful women, he couldn't help sighing.
The fashion industry really was a place where handsome people gathered. Good looks here seemed to be just the most basic requirement. If your facial features weren't defined or your looks weren't high enough, you couldn't even reach the entry level.
As for Zhang Yang's appearance now-his hair quality was excellent, his eyes were bright, his facial features were defined, and his skin tone had become somewhat fair and delicate. Overall, his face could indeed be considered handsome.
But in a place packed with handsome men, honestly speaking, if someone said his looks were average here, he wouldn't have any objections.
If he wanted to stand out with his looks here, it wasn't impossible.
Either your looks absolutely dominated everyone else, or your looks were so bad that they attracted attention.
Dominating the entire crowd was impossible to think about. Having that kind of overwhelming beauty among so many handsome men would require godlike looks.
Standing out by being terrible-looking, however, was actually quite feasible.
In a certain sense, Zhang Yang's looks not standing out here was already something to be proud of. At least it meant that among all these male models, his appearance was around the average level.
"Zhang Yang, right? You're in the sixth batch to go in. Wait over there," said a staff member responsible for managing the interview process after registering him.
Zhang Yang followed the direction indicated.
"Hiss… this group doesn't look very friendly."
