Winter Begonia

**UPDATED** Chapter 86 part 1

Reporter Huang has been having a particularly good life recently. With a few exclusive news from Shang XiRui, he made into the big page and won many awards from the editor-in-chief. He immediately replaced all his clothes and shoes with brand new ones. He now dares to opt for Camel brand cigarettes. With a cigarette in his mouth, he was developing the remaining photos of that day in the darkroom, preparing to send them to Shang Xirui to butter up to him. 

After excluding the single photos of Shang XiRui published in the newspaper, there were a dozen of photos of Shang XiRui and Cheng FengTai. Reporter Huang picked through them and found one photo: 

Cheng FengTai leaning his back on the plum tree with one arm bent behind Shang XiRui. Shang XiRui stood in front of him, covering half of Cheng FengTai's body, with one arm bent behind his back. 

Cheng FengTai smiled absentmindedly while depicting a chic young master. 

But Shang XiRui has his lips pursed and smiled so brightly, as if he had a stolen piece of candy in his mouth and he was afraid that it will roll out once he opened his mouth. His lips couldn't hide the sweetness, it's that evident.

The two are equally handsome, but each one carries a different set of seductiveness. If the pair is a man and woman couple, one can praise the pair as a match made by the heavens.

************************************

Reporter Huang didn't think there was anything special when he took the photo. Now, he couldn't stop staring at the photo. He doesn't know whether it was because his photography skills had improved or because this pair was just exceptionally handsome and photogenic. 

The lighting was evenly distributed creating a wonderful shadow. The photo looked seemed like a painting! Just the thought of Shang XiRui praising him upon receiving the photo later, made him develop 2 more copies of the photo.

A colleague quietly entered the darkroom and leaned over from behind: "Hey! Whose photo is this?"  Reporter Huang immediately put the photo into an envelope, annoyingly said: " It's none of your business!" and left.

The colleague brushed his nose in frustration, cursed and rummaged around angrily. A roll of film was found clamped on the rope. He casually pulled it out and flashed it up and let out a long "Hey" in surprise.

Reporter Huang went to the backstage of the ShuiYun Tower today, for naught. He arrived untimely. In the past two days, due to the large-scale criticism of Shang XiRui in the newspapers, many colleagues in the theater industry spontaneously also went to the Tower to express their solidarity and support to Shang XiRui. 

Wang Leng also happened to come and see Shang XiRui in a play, and Cheng FengTai and Du Qi were also there. There was no room for everyone to stand backstage. Reporter Huang was well acquainted and chatted with all the actors, leaving behind photos. He even winked before leaving, as if the envelope contained something very precious. 

Shang XiRui couldn't help but take a look of the photos behind everyone's back. When he saw the group photo next to the plum tree, it was poetic and picturesque. He looked up at Cheng FengTai. Cheng FengTai winked and gave him a playful smile so different from the one in the photo. Shang XiRui held up the photo staring at it carefully for a while wondering which one was more like his second master, the second master in the photo or the second master in front of him.

Wang Leng sat next to Shang XiRui and couldn't help but look at him curiously especially at the photo Shang XiRui couldn't let go. In the photo, two people were clearly standing one behind the other. However, Wang Leng couldn't help but feel that the hands behind Shang XiRui and Cheng FengTai were intertwined - the mood on the photo make people think similarly.
