The High-Speed Rail soon arrived at Tainan Station, and the announcement echoed repeatedly throughout the carriage: "Tainan Station, arrived. Please prepare to disembark." The passengers inside began to gather their belongings, getting ready to leave. Haohao looked at Anthon, knowing he had been asleep the entire journey, and gently shook him, saying, "Hey... brother, we're here."
Anthon suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing they were about to arrive. He hurriedly prepared to stand up but unexpectedly discovered that due to his deep sleep, he was experiencing an embarrassing reaction. His face instantly turned crimson, filled with awkwardness and anxiety. He tried to conceal his predicament, but his nervousness made his movements appear clumsy.
Anthon struggled to hide his condition, attempting to cover up his embarrassment with his hands. He stammered, "Oh, okay, getting off soon," trying to maintain a calm tone despite his inner turmoil while quickly organizing his belongings. However, every time he tried to move his camera equipment, the awkwardness seemed to become more pronounced. He couldn't find a suitable position to conceal it, and his anxiety only grew.
Haohao didn't immediately notice Anthon's unusual behavior; he was focused on helping with the camera gear and said, "We need to hurry; Brother Chao and the others should be waiting for us." His voice carried a sense of urgency and excitement about the upcoming meeting. However, as he turned to help, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Anthon's flustered movements and flushed face.
Haohao paused for a moment before realizing what was happening. His gaze lingered on the area Anthon was trying to cover, and a flicker of embarrassment and understanding crossed his eyes. He quickly averted his gaze, pretending not to see while feeling an odd sensation rising within him.
Anthon sensed Haohao's gaze, and his embarrassment peaked. He frantically thought of all the humiliating scenarios that could unfold, trying desperately to regain control over his body. Yet no matter how hard he tried, that awkward reaction seemed impossible to shake off. Images of himself embarrassing himself in front of Haohao flashed through his mind, filling him with helplessness and anxiety.
Haohao watched Anthon struggle awkwardly, feeling a mix of conflict and helplessness within himself. Unsure of what to say to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, he silently helped Anthon pack up their things in an attempt to make everything seem more natural. He understood Anthon's feelings at that moment but also felt a strange sense of jealousy and unease creeping in—emotions that left him confused.
Finally, they finished packing their belongings and quietly stepped off the High-Speed Rail. The air at Tainan Station was thick with tropical warmth as the bustling crowd continued to swirl around them. Anthon and Haohao navigated through the throng toward the meeting point with Brother Chao's team.
Stepping out of the carriage, they were greeted by the tropical atmosphere of Tainan Station. The crowded station hall momentarily dazzled them, but soon they spotted Brother Chao waiting eagerly for them. Dressed in a patterned shirt with several buttons undone revealing a gold chain around his neck, Brother Chao wore a carefree smile that seemed almost too exaggerated. He was the epitome of a wealthy second-generation heir—confident yet tinged with vanity and hollowness.
"Ah! You finally made it!" Brother Chao drawled playfully as he approached them with exaggerated confidence.
"Was your journey tiring?" he asked warmly as he shook hands with Anthon and Haohao, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes. His words carried an undeniable air of superiority as if he wanted to emphasize his status and position.
Anthon forced himself to smile and replied cheerfully, "Not at all, Brother Chao. We're ready; we can start working anytime."
"Very good, very good!" Brother Chao nodded, then turned to Haohao, sizing up his equipment. His tone was laced with vanity and flippant praise. "Haohao, you really are professional with all this photography gear. It looks like our shoot is going to turn out great."
Haohao smiled politely in response. "Thank you, Brother Chao. We'll do our best to achieve the best results." However, he felt uncomfortable with Brother Chao's attitude, finding him overly self-centered and vain.
"Let's go; our van is waiting outside." Brother Chao gestured dramatically toward the exit, showcasing his authority and confidence. "Everyone get in the car; we're off."
As they exited the station, they spotted a sleek black van parked outside, its shiny exterior reflecting careful maintenance. Brother Chao walked ahead with smooth, confident movements, as if displaying his identity and status.
"This is my van; it's very comfortable. Please get in," Brother Chao said as he opened the door, making a sweeping gesture. A hint of pride and satisfaction flickered in his eyes. His actions were filled with vanity and self-importance, as if everything was meant to showcase his success and superiority.
Anthon and Haohao climbed into the vehicle, taking their seats in the back row. They felt a sense of helplessness regarding Brother Chao's demeanor but maintained basic politeness. The interior was luxurious, with soft seats and a faint scent of perfume lingering in the air, reflecting the owner's taste and status.
"Just relax for a bit; we'll be at our shooting location soon," Brother Chao said from the front passenger seat, turning back to address them with a tone of confidence and smugness.
The car glided smoothly along the road while Anthon and Haohao sat in the back, each lost in their own thoughts. Anthon still felt uneasy about the earlier awkwardness, filled with contradictions and confusion. Meanwhile, Haohao found Brother Chao's vanity and self-absorption distasteful but understood the importance of this collaboration for them; he could only endure in silence.
Their first encounter at the High-Speed Rail station had given them a preliminary understanding of Brother Chao—a wealthy second-generation individual who seemed carefree yet exuded an air of pettiness in his every gesture. He was extremely vain but ultimately hollow inside. This shoot would be a challenge, but Anthon and Haohao knew that no matter what they faced, they would confront it together and find their own path forward.
