Mr. Butler on the catwalk

"It should be midnight when we get back..." Luo Lin put on his shoes on the embankment and said this silently.

"Who told you we're going back? We said we were on vacation," He Shiwei looked at him with folded arms, "I even booked the room. It's no wonder I don't get sick when I go back in such a wet suit."

"Hey?" Luo Lin looked at He Shiwei: "When was it decided..."

"I thought about it when you were making soup at home. Tomorrow is your afternoon training, right? Then you can watch the sunrise in the morning. Let's go, just park here, the hotel is not far away."

Two big wet men then came to the SeaGull building.The lady at the front desk checked the reservation form: "I'm sorry, although you booked two rooms, there is an academic conference reserved tomorrow, and now I can only offer a double room. Are you still staying?"

There is only one hotel on Jinshan Heshiweikan.He smiled wryly and took out his credit card.

He Shiwei felt uncomfortable all over in the elevator, and his heart began to be chaotic again.The clothes dried slowly, leaving behind a piece of salt, which made his skin ache.Luo Lin's complexion was not much better, because he felt that He Shiwei's livid face was still angry with him.

The two stood in front of the door in silence.When He Shiwei opened the door, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, it wasn't a big bed room...

Even he himself didn't know how the relief came from.

He called the laundry room to collect the clothes, and then directed Luo Lin to take a shower and change into his bathrobe.When it was his turn, He Shiwei flushed himself with hot and cold water for four or ten minutes, changed into the underwear sent by the housekeeping department, and finally came out of the bathroom.Luo Lin was watching TV, as if it was some news report, and turned off when he saw him coming.He Shi smiled: "Keep watching. I'm still awake, so don't worry about me."

Luo Lin was wearing a snow-white bathrobe, and his undried hair was softly attached to his forehead: "No. I'm really sleepy after such a day. It's better to go to bed early. Didn't you say to watch the sunrise tomorrow?"

He Shiwei let out an "en", pulled back his quilt and got in.On the other bed, Luo Lin hugged a long pillow, got up and dimmed the lights.

In the dark, He Shiwei turned around a few times, but couldn't fall asleep, so he turned to ask Luo Lin, "Are you asleep?"

"……Nope."

"I'm having trouble sleeping."

Luo Lin smiled: "You want me to talk with you?"

"I can't ask for it."

The sound of turning around came, and He Shiwei knew that Luo Lin must be facing him right now.

He Shiwei closed his eyes and said softly, "I didn't expect to walk so far. It's not impossible to take you to the swimming pool. You must find it troublesome to go around in such a big circle."

"……Won't."

Luo Lin had a very clear male voice, but at this moment his voice was a little nasal.

He Shiwei leaned his face into the pillow: "I guess you don't know... I practiced swimming when I was young, or professionally."

"Huh?" The voice was suspicious, but not shrill.Luo Lin said again: "That's right, it looks like your arms are very long."

"My hometown is in the north. At that time, the conditions were not good and there were no professional swimming pools. When I was 14 years old, my dad said that I was not good for sports, so he insisted on taking me to Shanghai. My coach refused to let me go, but I couldn't help it. In the winter, I was soaking in the frozen lake and told the old man, I'm sorry, I really have to run away, when you forgive me, I will come out."

……

"In the end, the old man cried. It made me very sad. Later, I found out that I became a model, so I didn't touch the water much."

Luo Lin only responded softly.But He Shiwei knew that he must be listening carefully.

"I didn't go to a professional swimming pool much when I was training, and even now I can't stand the smell of chlorine water. Although the sea water is a bit salty, it's a natural thing...have you ever been to the beach before?"

There was the slight sound of hair rubbing against the pillow, and Luo Lin shook his head unconsciously: "No... the last time I swam seems to be in my hometown. There is a river in front of my hometown, and I can swim. I touched fish in it. But when I went back to see it a few years ago, I found that the river was dirty and all the fish were dead. I was quite sad..."

He Shiwei wanted to laugh when he heard his gloomy tone: "You are very good at swimming, did you practice in that river before?"

"No, I don't have much chance to play in the river. I just watch from the sidelines. After watching for a while, I have to go home and help my grandfather with work."

"...so miserable, oppressed since childhood."

"No, children from poor families are like this... At that time, the last thing I wanted to do was to pick cotton, but the old man insisted on me doing it, saying that I was handy or something, and in the end I was laughed at by a large group of children."

"You still do that?"

"En. At that time, I was quite unhappy, but now I feel that it is a craft anyway, and I am quite proud of it."

……

He Shiwei felt that this chat was an excellent opportunity to get to know Luo Lin. In the dark, he turned sideways and raised his head with one hand, and even more brought Luo Lin to the topic of his past experiences.Luo Lin didn't find it strange, He Shiwei answered obediently when he asked, and most of the time, he was still listening to He Shiwei's speech.

Boss He's drowsiness is fading now, and after changing a few topics, he simply talked about the origin of his name to Luo Lin: "At that time, my grandfather took a book of poetry and said that he would choose a sentence from it with his eyes closed. Give me a name. In the end, I didn’t choose any gangsters, but I just pointed to the sentence: "Shi Wei, Shi Wei, Hu Bugui". It can’t be called He Bugui, but He He Shiwei. I have always hated it My own name is too feminine."

Unlike him, Luo Lin seemed to be a little sleepy, and replied after a while: "It's also very nice..."

He Shiwei's eyes were used to the darkness, and he could clearly see Luo Lin holding the quilt and facing him.I don't know if it's an illusion, but he seems to be able to see Luo Lin blinking slowly, very sleepy, but still seriously trying to stay awake.There was a kind of languid tenderness in that look, which made him feel warm from the bottom of his heart.

"Luo Lin?"

he called.Luo Lin responded with a nasal voice.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Luo Lin let out a muffled laugh, and said slowly, "How is it possible..."

He Shiwei was in a good mood, so he asked another question:

"Then do you have someone you like?"

There was no response for a long time.He Shiwei thought he was asleep, and was about to fall asleep too, when he suddenly heard a soft but clear voice: "...En."

...So let's find an adjective to describe Boss He's current mood?

It's as if he took a fork to eat a big meal, and when he poked the fork down, he discovered that his own glass heart was lying on the plate in front of him.

The pain in his chest made He Shiwei lean forward.He took a deep breath, and finally answered: "So...ha, then, then she must be very good to you."

God bless, Luo Lin didn't respond until the time passed bit by bit.He Shiwei wasn't sure, if he received another positive answer, would he just die in anger.

Because of his self-defeating problems, He Shiwei didn't sleep well all night.After finally falling asleep, there was always a blurry figure floating in front of him—it was the back of Luo Lin standing in front of the window, and he wanted to reach out to touch it, but he couldn't lift it anyway.

……

When He Shiwei finally fell asleep soundly, he heard an almost piercing piano music coming from his ear - Lizst's "bell" was the ringtone of He Shiwei's mobile phone.Boss He, who got up very angry, reached under the pillow, took out his mobile phone in a daze, and connected the call.

"Brother? It's me. I need you urgently. Come to the company quickly..."

He Shiwei closed his eyes, heard Zhang Yishan's voice, and moved his finger to the hang up button again.

"He Shiwei! He Shiwei, you want to hang up again, don't you!! Can you fucking focus on your work, this has something to do with Luo Lin! You two must come together!"

He Shiwei heard Luo Lin's name, and finally moved the phone to his ear: "What's the matter..."

"People from Andreas Liebig came to our place to look at the models! They are sitting downstairs now! You also know the character of the German company, so I beg you, bring Luo Lin over quickly!"

He Shiwei scratched his hair and muttered impatiently: "I'm so bored, we're going to watch the sunrise..."

"Look at your head! It's seven o'clock, watch the sunrise! Come back within half an hour or I..."

He Shiwei threw the phone aside after hearing the first half of the sentence.Only then did he wake up, and saw the dazzling sunlight peeking out from under the thick curtains in the room.On the bedside table, his watch faithfully reflected that it was seven twenty.He Shiwei turned his head in a daze, and found that the bed beside him was empty.

"Luo Lin? Luo Lin!"

He cried out, and began to panic like last night again.Fortunately, Luo Lin, who was already dressed in the corridor, leaned out and smiled at him: "Are you awake? I'm making you black tea. Do you want to add sugar?"

He Shiwei breathed out: "No need...you woke up long ago? Why didn't you call me."

"Ah, it was already late when the Morning call came after five o'clock... I saw that you slept soundly, so I just wanted to let you sleep longer."

He Shiwei's clothes had already been folded and placed in front of the bed, and he stretched out his hands to put them on, without paying any particular attention to them: "Forget it, I'll look at this kind of thing next time I have a chance. It's a little something, we have to rush to the company. "

Luo Lin's expression became serious: "What's wrong?"

"Last time, I found an announcement for you to take a flat photo of clothes, and now the other party wants to come and see you. There is a traffic jam in the urban area at this time, we have to hurry up."

……

AndreasLiebig is a German brand.This brand has emerged in recent years. Although it is not as well-known as HugoBoss, it has a good reputation among young people in Europe and America.It's a pity that Chinese people know very little about it. Even when the brand is about to take a promotional photo, most modeling agencies don't do much.He Shiwei has always had a good vision and knows the potential of this brand, so he will never let go of such an opportunity.On the way back, he grabbed the steering wheel and arrived at the company without any risk—even so, he was already an hour and a half late.

Zhang Yishan stood at the door of the conference room with an expression of "I'm already dead and I was killed by you", not bothering to find out where they went.Zhang Yishan slapped Luo Lin into the conference room without even changing his clothes, and had a brutal interview.He Shiwei waited anxiously outside the door, like a parent watching their child take an exam.

Finally, Luo Lin's interview was over, and He Shiwei hurriedly went up to him: "How was the result?"

Luo Lin smiled and flicked his bangs embarrassingly: "He told me not to cut my hair, otherwise it won't look good to take pictures next week... I think I should have entered..."

He Shiwei cheered and almost hugged Luo Lin.

This good mood has been brought to the stage training in the afternoon. Hu Sanniang, who trained him, was surprisingly satisfied with Luo Lin's performance today.Luo Lin finally felt that his career had started seriously, and he looked forward to the future development even more.

Busy till evening, it was time for Luo Lin to go home.Originally, they all took He Shiwei's car to go together, but he knew in his heart that He Shiwei's entertainment schedule was full, and he could push it at first, but it would definitely be wrong to cause He Shiwei trouble until today.

So he took the subway, changed the bus and took two stops.After finally arriving at the station, there is still a distance from the villa area.But how could Luo Lin be the one who minded these few steps, he just walked quietly on the road, watching the sunset stretch his own shadow.

He finally reached the door of He Zhai, took out the key from his pocket, and wanted to open the door.

Then he heard someone approaching from behind him and said hoarsely:

"I've been waiting for you all day and all night."

The key fell to the ground.

Luo Lin's eye sockets began to burn, and the things he had tried so hard to forget surged up again.

With his back facing Duan Fei, he called dryly, "Master" after a long time.
