Plop. Annalise fell. Her posture was painfully awkward. She looked like she was eating dirt. The two photographers had just been taking a beautiful video of the couple skiing from afar. But the footage of Annalise falling had also been recorded.
The two photographers discussed with each other. “Should we send this to Simon later?” “Of course, why not? Let me tell you, this will draw even more attention. It’s just like how people make movies. The behind-the-scenes highlights are the best.”
“Will Mrs. Parks blame us if she sees such ugly photos of her on Twitter?” “Oh, yeah. That’s a problem. Let’s show it to her later and ask her.” “Okay.” Meanwhile… When Julian saw that Annalise had fallen, his heart suddenly ached. He immediately slid over and sat before Annalise, reaching out to help her.
Annalise was kneeling. Her head was buried in the snow. Julian became even more anxious. “Annie, how are you? Does it hurt? Where does it hurt? Let me see if it’s serious.” Annalise still did not speak. Julian became even more anxious and raised his voice slightly. “Annalise, how is it? Don’t scare me.”
Annalise suddenly raised her head and made a cheeky face at Julian. Then, she chuckled. “Haha!” When Julian heard Annalise’s laughter, his heart relaxed. His nervousness from before immediately vanished. But he was still afraid she had hurt herself from the fall. “Do you feel any pain or discomfort anywhere?” he asked her.
“Don’t worry. I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt anywhere.” Annalise wanted to get up. Julian immediately said, “Wait a minute. Let me take a closer look.” He patiently reached out and pinched Annalise’s leg. As he pinched, he asked, “Does it hurt?” “Haha. It doesn’t. It doesn’t hurt…” Julian pinched her leg until it felt ticklish. She wanted to laugh.
“Really?” “Really,” Annalise said. “Okay. That’s good. Let’s stop skiing and rest over there,” Julian said. “No… Let’s keep skiing,” Annalise said. “I don’t want you to get tired. Let’s rest for a while.”
“I’m not tired. I just warmed up. Let’s go.” Annalise got up from the ground. Julian immediately propped her up. They prepared to continue skiing. Then, one of the photographers shouted, “Mrs. Parks.” Annalise looked at the photographer with a smile. “What’s the matter?”
The photographers ran over and handed the camera to Annalise. They told Annalise that they had just captured her falling, and her posture looked awkward. They asked if they should send it to the assistant Simon.
They had yet to mention the behind-the-scenes idea. Annalise had already seen the photo of her falling into the snow. She burst out laughing. “This has to be uploaded. People love authentic things.” “Alright,” the two photographers replied immediately, glad to hear Annlise’s approval.
Julian and Annalise continued skiing. Simon received another set of photos and videos. Seeing Annalise fall to the ground in the snow, Simon burst into laughter. He had wanted to ask Annalise if such an unflattering photo could be posted. But the photographer told him that they had already asked Mrs. Parks. Simon should post it. Simon was relieved. Immediately, he uploaded the photos and short videos.
Afterward, he saw that the number of followers on their Twitter account had increased even more. The comment section was also going off the rails. “Pfft. Hahaha. Anna is so cute. Isn’t she?” “Of course! How could she look so silly and cute at the same time? Haha.” “I can’t take it anymore. I like her so much. How can she be so cute?”
