Mr. Butler on the catwalk

The evening of December [-]th.

Luo Lin and other campers returned to the model home.This night was more lively than usual. The men gathered together and talked with each other about the places they had visited.They sat on the sofa or on the ground with different expressions, either complaining angrily, or listening to the narrative with great interest.

But if you look closely, you can still find that some people are subtly different from usual.

Sasha, who has always been a loner, did not appear in the crowd at this time.However, what disappeared with him was Sisterkovic, who had always liked to be lively.If someone went to the four-person bedroom on the second floor, they would be surprised to find that Sasha was supporting Sisterkovic, causing the latter to slowly fall on his back in the middle of the bed.

Sasha kept frowning, his expression was completely different from the drunken Sisterkovic who was giggling.The latter let out a low and intermittent laugh from his throat, and his eyes were already closed.

Facing such a guy, Sasha sat silently beside his bed for a while.When he heard the loud cries of the men downstairs coming up the spiral staircase, he felt even more irritable.Sistakovic next to him moved his body from time to time, but he was still holding on to Sasha's sleeve tightly.

"Wake up, you idiot who only has muscles but no brains!... Let me go!"

Feeling that he couldn't wait for this guy to wake up naturally, Sasha leaned down and said so viciously in Siestakovich's ear.Because of this movement, his silver hair fell from his ears and brushed against Sisterkovich's cheek.

Sisterkovich frowned slightly, and opened his eyes a very small slit.Then Sasha heard a hoarse voice: "Varnia?"

Before Sasha could react, Sistakovich, who was still smiling chaotically, raised his upper body, and hugged Sasha into his arms fiercely.

……

...Since meeting Duan Fei, Luo Lin has felt a little inexplicably depressed.Now he was standing in the corner of the living room, watching Rivers and Luke chatting and playing tricks with each other, laughing loudly and waving at him.Luo Lin smiled and waved his hand as a gesture.In the end, he slowly lowered his hand, and then retreated to the corner, stepping on the small shadow behind the standing lamp.

Travis yelled through the crowd: "From today onwards, I am Lord Portway's servant! Today for a small plate of caviar - and foie gras, truffles and a bottle of I don't know how much Qian’s little red wine, I owed him 480 dollars successfully! Dear old man, before my mother agrees with me to control my salary, let me pay you with my body!”

The men laughed, and threw Travis, who was considered thin—actually 180 two centimeters—at Portway.Portov sat on the ground, frowning slightly, and could only scratch his hair in embarrassment.He was not used to such an excited moment, seeing Luo Lin standing aside with a forced smile, he thought about standing up and walking to Luo Lin's side.

It was at this moment that Sith came around from the corridor of the side hall and called Luo Lin in a low voice.The men didn't notice it for a while, but Portway, who had already got up, could only sit heavily on the floor at this time.

"Master Portway... oh I love you so much..."

Travis hooked his arm up the back of Portway's neck singing like he was drunk.Finnish men don't want to sweep everyone's sex, so they can't resist such an action.At most, he lowered his head, and raised his hands in front of his eyes with some exhaustion, so as not to let others see his really unhappy face.

...and at Luo Lin, Sith was holding a sign-in form in his hand, and was saying to Luo Lin: "Luo Lin, Sistakovich didn't sign in when the campers gathered, it is said that he was drunk. Drunk. I'm going back to Rohan to prepare for the next mission. Can you help me check on Sistakovich?... If he has a hangover tomorrow morning, please take care of him him."

Luo Lin said seriously: "Okay, I understand."

Sith patted him on the shoulder: "I'm really sorry, I asked you to take care of others when you were hurt. However, I hope you can understand me. Look at the group of people around you, they are all children. I I have always believed that you are the most reliable here."

Luo Lin lowered his head in a little embarrassment: "...Thank you..."

Sith raised the sign-in slip in his hand: "That's it, I'll go back first—but I need to remind you of one thing," Sith smiled: "Sasha may also be at Sistakovich's place. If he picks you up again—don't look at me like that, of course I know what he's done—if he does that again, then please do what I taught you. Betough, Bestrong. Good night, Locke Forest."

After Luo Lin also said goodnight, he bowed slightly to Sith, and then walked quietly to the second floor.

However, he didn't expect that when he approached the door of the bedroom for four people on the second floor, he heard a loud bang—a slap in the face.

...the bedroom door was open.Sistakovich was sitting on the bed with his back against a wall, staring up at Sasha in front of him.Sasha stood with his back facing Luo Lin, his shoulders shrugged slightly, not sure if he was angry or sad.

When Sistakovich's eyes fell on Luo Lin, Sasha also turned his head.His eyes narrowed slightly, and his knife-like gaze shot at Luo Lin in an instant.

"...What are you doing here?"

Sasha's tone was very cold.Luo Lin replied:

"The Sith sent me here. He asked me to see if there was anyone here who needed attention."

"Sith, tsk, Sith..." Sasha raised his hand, bit the nail of his right thumb, and suddenly became angry: "If you want to come in, come in! Don't just stand there, okay?! Isn't this A place for you to watch a play!"

Luo Lin frowned upon hearing this, but still walked into the room as he said.Sasha stood aside with arms folded, and continued coldly: "I don't know what you saw, but I still have to admit that I hit him. I have nothing to say other than that, but if you dare to mess around Guess, or slander others about my use of violence..."

Luo Lin originally wanted to see if Sistavic had a fever, but now he could only turn around helplessly: "...I never thought of doing that. That's your business, it has nothing to do with me."

Sasha started to get excited instead: "Don't talk to me in such a tone that you don't care! I've hated you since the first day, don't act like you don't care anymore?! If you really Don't care, what are you doing in this training camp?! Put away that saint face and come on, you loser!"

Luo Lin only felt that Sasha's hostility had no reason, and the other party's chest heaving due to shortness of breath made him feel even more strange—as if their positions had been reversed.He could only sigh, then looked directly at Sasha and said, "I'm not someone who is used to competition, this is my character. If you want to hate this, then I can't help it. But I am serious about this training camp." Yes, I also put in my efforts, but it’s not the same as you. You are young, so you can say what you want without fear. I can’t do it, so sometimes I envy your self-confidence .”

Sasha bit her lower lip and said nothing.Luo Lin lowered his eyes, then raised them again and said, "But I really don't think I'm worse than you, Sasha. At least I know how to respect others, so I have the qualifications to win."

Sasha gritted her teeth violently, and spit out a vague word from between her teeth.At that moment, Luo Lin thought that he would rush up and beat him, but Sasha just turned around and left angrily, and slammed the door loudly.

Luo Lin exhaled lightly, and then squatted down beside Sisterkovich's bed: "...you seem to be awake...do you feel uncomfortable?"

Sisterkovich frowned pitifully, and said hoarsely, "Headache."

Luo Lin's eyes were still calm and gentle: "I'll get you the medicine now."

Sisterkovich tried his best to smile at Luo Lin: "...Thank you...but please, don't be angry with Sasha. He was angry with you because I made him angry. "

"……Won't."

Sisterkovich suddenly turned his head: "Do you want to know what Sasha said to you in the end?"

Luo Lin smiled wryly: "Forget it...it's not a good word."

"I think it's funny. He called you 'bad guy'... This word should be said by three or four-year-old children in Russian."

"Is that so..." Luo Lin couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

……

Luo Lin slept very late that night.Before going to bed, Rivers lay on his back, obsessively staring at Luo Lin who wrote "During today's activities - thoughts on teammates".

Earlier, Rivers opened his list with both hands, and read it to Luo Lin like a treasure: "My teammate is Luo Lin, and he is also my roommate... He chose me early in the morning and wanted to go with me. Everywhere in New York City..."

"We are like two plastic bags in a tornado, flying over the city crazily...He is like a girl, looking forward to getting married in the church...He is really afraid of the cold, so he is afraid that I will eat ice cream in the cold wind..."

"He looks like my grandma in skating, so although the kids like him, he doesn't have a girlfriend..."

Luo Lin didn't know what kind of expression he should have for such a description.Even so, Rivers kept poking Luo Lin's back with a marker: "I've already praised you so much, hurry up and praise me too... hurry up, hurry up..."

Luo Lin had no choice but to take out a ballpoint pen. After thinking for a while, he wrote down earnestly—"Although Rivers is very childish, I admire him very much."

Without saying a word, Rivers immediately crossed out the word "appreciation" and changed it to "like".After doing this, Rivers raised his chin to Luo Lin: "Stop using this word, or it will seem like we are colleagues who have nothing to say."

Luo Lin shook his head with a wry smile, wanting to put the form in like this.At this time, Rivers urged him to put on the sticker expressing his feelings, but Luo Lin could only do so.

"Please choose a Sticker that can most honestly reflect your mood today, and paste it on the horizontal line below."

Luo Lin seemed to have chosen the "Fine" subconsciously.The smile above is not very conspicuous.

Rivers yelling, "Pick the one that says you're super happy! Aren't you super happy?! My heart is going to break!!"

Luo Lin suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "I don't do that often...but let's change it as you said."

River suddenly became depressed: "Is that so?...Aren't you happy...with the person you like?"

When Luo Lin heard those words, he didn't think much about what Rivers meant, but was silently stunned.

Naturally, it was impossible for Rivers to know that Luo Lin felt a real pain in his heart during that not-so-long period of time.Luo Lin smiled reluctantly at the sticker, and then said to Rivers: "Go to sleep, it's late."

……

At midnight that day, Luo Lin was lying on the bed, unable to sleep for some reason.

He is actually tired.Spinning in front of his eyes was the church he had just visited today, and the light shone from the skylight at the top and fell on his side.He wanted to reach out to the light, but found that he could only stand in the shadow of the cross no matter what.

This is the most inescapable panic when you are half asleep and half awake.Luo Lin just stood there, standing in the shadow.

... He didn't know how he fell asleep later, and why he suddenly woke up the next morning before the sun rose.Afraid of waking Rivers up, he didn't pull the desk lamp, but touched the watch under the pillow instead.He touched the leather strap of the watch, and at the same time touched the hard case of the phone.

Zhang Yishan said to him many times, never put your phone under your pillow, it is very harmful to your health.But although Luo Lin has always been careful, he still made such a mistake.

He subconsciously turned on the screen, but found an unread message.

"Don't be aggressive, pay attention to your body."

There are only a few eight words.Luo Lin held the phone, bent his knees, and buried his head in his arms.

The author has something to say: "Boss He sells it for free"

——The following part is an apology for the late update, which is placed in the author's words, not counting money. -------------------------

在纽约仍处于午夜的时间，新加坡已经是中午时分。7号将是何式微待在这个国家的最后一天。上午他自酒店的床上起来，绕着阴天下的海边静静走了一圈。他穿着白色细麻质的衬衫，和相同颜色的长裤，看着欲雨前的云层，心情绝说不上是轻松。机票订在晚上。想起到这之前的空闲时间，何式微便觉得有些轻微的烦闷。他不习惯这种忽然空下来的感觉。这只能让他愈加的，想起那个他见不到面的人。待到回到酒店，助理却向他迎上来：“经理，有人向您预约中午的时间，说想和您一起用餐。”何式微呼了一口气：“是上次接待我们的马来人吗？……什么名字？”“我不太清楚，她说是您的熟人，说跟您讲‘蔺小姐’您就能明白……”“……草字头的那个蔺？”“是。她约您十二点整在乌节路上的St.StephenCross见面，要去吗？”何式微低下头想了想，然后道：“去吧。麻烦你去备下车。”……他认识的，姓蔺的女人只有一位。他的未婚妻——或者说，他的前未婚妻。于是在11:30的那个当口，何式微坐在车子的后座上，一边看着雨滴在车窗外连成数条冷清的线，一边设想着，接下来会是怎样的见面。他不经意的摩挲了一下右手中指的指节。现在空无一物的手指，曾经被一枚银色的指环束缚了三年。订婚三年，分手三年。六年之后，他和那个女人，竟然会在今天见面。何式微笑了一下，眼睛里没有过多欣喜的成分，只是盛满了感慨。……蔺桢桃订下的餐厅，是一家概念西餐厅。餐厅在一桩复古洋楼的三层，窗户多而大，若不是今天是个阴雨天，采光应该会异常美好。何式微拉开椅子，在桌前坐下。原本坐在桌子另一端的女人正看向窗外，双手捧着杯子，小口的喝水。待到他落座之后，才把头回了过来。何式微对她笑笑：“好久不见，你还是那么漂亮。”蔺桢桃也抿着嘴挑起嘴角：“好久不见，你恭维人的话还是这么老套。”何式微将餐巾铺开了，不置可否，笑容依旧。——蔺桢桃在六年前就是个美人。她身上没什么小姑娘的作态，总是半睁着眼睛，微微的挑起眉毛打量着身边的男人。她行事不疾不徐，游刃有余中透出一种慵懒的媚态来。这样的气质，配上她至臻完美的五官体态，着实会让见到她的人都为之倾倒。因为她是那样的一个美人，所以当年，何式微是主动来追求她的。当年的蔺桢桃梳着长波浪，恰到好处的栗色的头发在那时不算多见。而现在的蔺桢桃剪了短发，斜刘海上不显见的那抹深酒红色，比起过去更是显得格调高雅。何式微依旧是有感叹的情绪在。这个女人还是这么的魅力，举手投足间，都有着难以言喻的吸引力。然而面对着自己前未婚妻，他再也不可能有当年那种一见到对方，就热血沸腾，难以自持的感情来。他觉得奇怪，当年那么喜欢的一个人，后来怎么感情就会淡了——以至于在之后，自己不负责的选择了逃婚，分手。……这个事实一直都让何式微觉得自责。幸好，面前的蔺桢桃看起来过的不错。她架势娴熟的点了前后配菜，然后将眼神回过来，轻轻地落在何式微的身上。何式微咳了一声，然后道：“我没想到会在新加坡见到你。你在这里也是出差么？”蔺桢桃觉得好笑似地轻哼了一声：“看来是你爸没和你提过，我在新加坡已经住了要半年了。这回他说你要来，我想着你我也很久没见了，不如也聚聚好了。”“……的确是应该聚一聚。”何式微笑着应了一句。然而接下来，却没有谁再说话。好久之后蔺桢桃叹口气，终于道：“何式微，你也33岁了吧？怎么还不如你以前的样子，连个话题也找不出来。”何式微自嘲般的摇了摇头：“其实有挺多想问的，但是觉得就这么坐着，看看你，也就足够好了。”蔺桢桃将水杯握紧了：“你还真是……”她似乎是觉得无奈似的摇了摇头。何式微也觉得有些微的窘迫，于是像日常寒暄那般，将“你最近过的怎么样”“工作如何”“父母好吗”“接下来有什么打算”之类的问题，挨个询问了一遍。末了何式微只能掩饰尴尬的笑一笑：“还真是对不起了，问的都是点老套的话。”蔺桢桃做无聊状的摇了摇头：“何式微，你是真老了，说的话老气的快赶上你爸了。”她这么说完，直接将自己面前盛着整块牛排的盘子往前一推。何式微下意识的将盘子拉过来，帮着蔺桢桃将牛排切碎。等到何式微反应过来，他和蔺桢桃，都是怔怔。蔺桢桃笑得很苦涩：“你还记得？”何式微稍微低下头，手上的动作没停：“……在我面前承认自己不会用刀叉，然后理所当然要求我帮忙的女人，我也就遇到过你一个。”蔺桢桃将自己的肩膀抱紧了，低声的说了一句：“你别用这种口气说话，我会误以为你还惦记着我呢。”何式微不知道自己是摇头好还是点头好，干脆依旧保持沉默。蔺桢桃在接过何式微递回的盘子之后，忽然开口道：“何式微，其实我要结婚了。”何式微抬眼：“……恭喜了。”他脸上的笑容很诚恳。蔺桢桃的表情却并不满意：“你就不会问问他是谁……？”何式微一窘：“抱歉……请问他是……请讲吧，我其实也想知道。”“我的未婚夫就是三天前接待你的尼塔。其实是我在他那里看到你的名片，才想到来联系你的。全天下叫何式微这种鬼名字的男人，也就只有你一个了吧。”“是是……”何式微虚应道，然后又觉得有些疑惑：“我没记错的话，他是个马来人吧？好像……不怎么年轻了，你配他……”蔺桢桃的眼神冷下来：“你可别说什么不值得不好的。我还记得是谁悔婚扔戒指的，你要是敢再说一个字，我就逼你娶我了。”何式微把手抬起来：“我的错，我的错……”蔺桢桃抱臂靠到椅背上：“其实我说句实话吧。我今天来见你，就是想说一句，我恨你，何式微。你浪费我那么多年的大好时光，硬生生的把我拖成了个老姑娘，我真是做鬼都不要放过你。”何式微无话可说。蔺桢桃平复了一下气息，然后又缓缓道：“然后接下来，我要请你去参加我的婚礼。婚期订在明年三月底，在冰岛，我定的地方。我知道你现在还没结婚，到时候我一定会让你后悔——把我这么好的一个女人放走了，你下半辈子就一个人哭去吧。没有人会受得了你的婚姻恐惧症的，你这个懦弱的死男人。”何式微不知道蔺桢桃怎么会突然变得如此有攻击性，然而这样并非切实责难的话语，让他在觉得想要苦笑之余，反而真正感觉到了一丝难过。蔺桢桃像做总结陈词一般道：“虽然我不想说你……但是你也早点安定下来吧。可能就你现在这副鬼样子找不到什么好的，不过也就凑合凑合着过了吧。到了时候，还是有个人陪比较好。”何式微看着她：“……你也是这么想着凑合，所以才嫁人的吗？”蔺桢桃嫌弃的白了一眼：“要凑合的人是你，不可能是我。尼塔他……是个很好的男人，”她这么说着，忽然面上假装凶恶的表情就淡了下去，换上了不自觉地微笑：“他都快四十了，还像个孩子一样，一直要出丑故意逗我笑。我没见过那么笨的男人，但是我一边觉得特别丢脸，一边还是觉得感动。其实他能找到很多比我小的姑娘，也不一定比我丑，但是他还是一直都在我身边陪着。两年多，我没理他，他还等着。我觉得这种人，真不多了。”她又瞪了何式微一眼：“比起某个推说自己结婚就要窒息的男人，强太多了。”何式微明显的点了点头，表示自己全然的同意：“是是是……你们两个结婚我一定去，给你包个20万的大红包……”“你说的，我记着了。”“我说的，你要不要录音录下来？……”两个人这才终于笑开，所有拘谨的气氛全然不见。天渐渐的晴了。蔺桢桃饮了一口酒，在一些随意的话题之后，又回到感情的问题上来。“何式微你……现在有没有什么合适的对象？刚刚说的都是关于我的事情，反而是没问你的。”何式微捏了捏高脚杯的颈，笑得有些苦涩：“……是有的。”蔺桢桃挑了挑眉：“看你那副苦相。千万别和我说人家想和你结婚，结果你又开始犯毛病了。”何式微摇摇头：“……反了。这回是我想和他定下来，但是人家还不同意。”蔺桢桃欣然的点点头：“不错，这人好眼识，一眼就看穿了你孬种的本质。我都有些好奇了，到底是什么样的人能让你忽然转性？”何式微低下头来，眉头虽然微蹙着，嘴角的笑容却有种难言的宠溺意味：“很温柔，很能干。特别好看……也很会做饭。居家过日子的事情样样做得在行，别的方面也都很棒。我这辈子第一次见到那么好的一个人……就是好。”蔺桢桃夹起面前甜点塔上的一颗樱桃，百无聊赖的吞下去：“那是你编出来的吧，这么抽象。恭喜你，在长年的单身汉生活之后，你变态了。”何式微却没有理会蔺桢桃的调侃，只继续道：“不是，他是真的……特别好。他会一直笑，特别温暖的那种；也很认真，做事情总是会做到最好，不喜欢给人添麻烦，有的时候还爱逞强……对每个人都特别的耐心，也特别能忍，有的时候让人恨得牙痒痒……但是他一看你你就对他没辙了……我……”……蔺桢桃似乎半是震惊的，看何式微脸上浮现出一种混杂着自豪和焦急的神情来。前者有理可循，后者则单纯的因为——何式微是如此急切的，想证明那个他爱上的人，是那么的优秀。“如果他现在坐在这里，他肯定不用你说，就能发现你不会切牛排。他是会主动帮你把盘子接过去的那种人……相信我，他绝对会静静地看着你，然后试着帮你做好一切可能的事情……他磨的咖啡特别香……很喜欢小孩子和小的东西……”何式微这么说着，手上的动作也加了进来。他的表情或是愉快的，或是联怜惜的，有时则像是怀恋。他几乎停不下叙述，因为那些句子，能让他全面的回想起骆林的每一部分。温柔的眼睛，柔软的头发，和风似的唇角以及颈间的香味。肩膀的线条，腰背的曲线，抑或在接吻时，不自觉颤抖的声线。何式微变得像个男孩子那样，语气中都带上了难抑的热切。在某一句子的间隔，他不经意的抬起头来，看向窗外。然后他举起手来，对着蔺桢桃说道：“等等，你看你那里的大海报。就是他。就是他……”蔺桢桃受不了一般的摊了摊手。何式微指向的方向是一座百货大楼，一副巨幅海报挂在顶楼上，在这天晴时分，正被从上至下慢慢的展开。她想，何式微绝对是疯了。那海报上，分明就是一个男人。那人正站在废弃的断柱之上，用冷清的姿态，望向他的脚下——以及正在这里用餐的他们。“何式微，我理解你迫切的心理，但是你没必要随便抓着一个东西就说他是你的……”“不是随便的。”何式微稳了稳自己的呼吸：“真的，就是他……呼，我没想过能在这儿看到这张宣传照……桢桃，你有可能会觉得我是个神经病，但是我喜欢的人就是他。他是我们公司的模特，是个男人没错，可我是真的想和他过一辈子。”蔺桢桃面对何式微盛满了认真情绪的眼睛，忽然一句话都说不出来。……这顿饭最终是在何式微的爆炸性宣言下达到了高潮。蔺桢桃没法一下子接受这个事实，但是何式微出乎意料的发现，自己并不在乎别人的看法。——只是想要告诉尽可能多的人，那个人有多好。然后大声的宣布，我喜欢他，我喜欢他。如果能这么做，何式微一定会感受到至上的满足。而如若最终他有幸能真够得到那个人，那个瞬间，自己会因幸福过度而死吗？何式微摇了摇头，为了这个傻气的念头笑出声来。但是眼眶里，不知为何，有些湿润的先兆。那些难言的思念堵在了何式微的喉咙口。他努力地，用尽全身力气，最终将那份浓厚的感情压缩成了一条，简短的短信。“不要逞强，注意身体”。——骆林，原来我如此爱你。---------------------长评已回，短评等我睡醒了回……这回迟更一是因为JJ抽风，二是因为我要办留学的事情，比较严肃……接下来的时间，我会尽量缩短更新间隔，努力在三月再次达到日更，不过那是大概是每章三千字到四千字左右。PS，严禁投诉何老板开挂……我看了下大纲，他一时半会儿还到不了美国，所以这个出场是公平且有逻辑的……美国的第五周左右，所有冲突都达到高潮，然后再美国篇结束之后第二部结束，正式进入第三步大结局。每个分结局都很长，保证衔接没问题，毫不牵强（你妹的你他妈的就吹吧）……一个结局大概也要几万字，三个结局加一堆番外，我估计会写死吧……反正到时候再说啦（摆手摆手）话说看大家推文推的很开心，等我有空了我把觉得好看的文也推荐一下好了（大笑）我觉得我看文的品味还不错……比写文的能力强点起码……
