Mr. Butler on the catwalk

In the first week of LGM's plan, it was designated as "photo-intensive evaluation week", and the test was naturally the basic skills of the models.And in the second week, it is naturally "the stage-intensive evaluation week."

December eleventh is Monday.The men's arrangement today was cross-country running, and they were pulled to the countryside to run 12 miles again.Although Luo Lin's foot injury is no longer a serious problem, he was ordered to rest at the finish line and just watch.The assistants were chatting in twos and threes, Luo Lin was quietly flipping through the book on his lap, and Zhang Yishan beside him was spinning his phone boredly.

Luo Lin was reading a literature and history magazine, which talked about Angkor Wat in Cambodia.Luo Lin has always longed for this kind of place, and finally came here to be interested in chatting with people.However, when he wanted to talk to Zhang Yishan, he found that his cousin and classmate were just giggling at the phone.Zhang Yishan pressed the keyboard nimbly, as if answering someone's text message.

"Yishan..." Luo Lin turned his head to look at him, and smiled: "You seem a little strange recently, what's wrong?"

Zhang Yishan didn't raise his head, he just replied confusedly, and finally said: "Ah, they finished running, and they will be back soon. I heard that the temperature outside has dropped again, what should I do if I catch a cold..."

The cousin and classmate were talking nonsense, not as sharp and mean as he used to be.Luo Lin looked at him for a while, then lowered his head and continued his reading.

…It was that afternoon when Zhang Yishan and Alfred were found kissing on the street corner.Luo Lin thought about calling his mother outside the house, so he walked down the street aimlessly, not paying attention to where he went.He would not have paid attention to the alleys on the side of the street. If he hadn't heard the crisp metal impact, he would not have stopped to pay attention to his surroundings.

It was a small alley, and the end seemed to be a dead end. It was sandwiched between two tall buildings, and there was no light in it.Luo Lin noticed that there was an overturned trash can rolling slowly on the ground.When he looked up again, he was truly taken aback.

Zhang Yishan was pushed against the wall, his chin was raised, and he was being kissed.He was holding the conspicuous and stylish white scarf in his hand, making Luo Lin recognize him at a glance.Luo Lin, who was close to him, didn't notice it at first, only realized that it was a man.

However, Zhang Yishan seemed to be confused by this kiss, unable to breathe, so he could only stand on tiptoes and lift his head and neck, trying to escape the lips and tongue that captured him.The other party then lowered his head and tasted his neck very conveniently.While doing this, the unknown man shook the hair on his forehead that was in front of his eyes, and Luo Lin saw who it was.

At that moment, Luo Lin felt a little dazed.On the mobile phone next to her ear, her mother was muttering: "Which place is bigger, New York or Shanghai? What's the matter, are you talking?" Luo Lin took a few steps back in a daze, and only opened his mouth when he walked onto the street, "I didn't Signal, mom, what did you say..."

... Luo Lin also figured it out that night.Whether Zhang Yishan is gay or not, and whether he and Alfred are lovers, actually have nothing to do with him.Others have other people's space, and I bumped into that scene inadvertently, if I asked Zhang Yishan directly, it might be embarrassing for both parties.However, Luo Lin was just slightly uncomfortable—for Alfred.

Luo Lin is sensitive to things other than himself.Occasionally, the first feeling of trouble caused him to have many strange ideas.This was the case with Cui Shinian back then, but he would not rule out the possibility that he felt wrong.

... It's just that Alfred's impression is indeed vague and chaotic.This feeling made Luo Lin feel uneasy.

He thought carefully about Alfred's words and deeds.It is not difficult to find that this person has a good relationship with the cameraman.Because of this, among all the campers, only he can clearly know the working time and dark shooting time of the cameraman every day.Luo Lin thought, when Zhang Yishan and Alfred were getting close, one of the two groups of cameramen had just finished work, and the other followed Rivers to the hospital to film the follow-up consultation of the sprain.Nobody really notices his absence, and he doesn't miss out on any possible photo opportunities.

But to be honest, if Alfred really cared about all these aspects... that would be a bit too thoughtful.

Because Rivers was not in the room, Luo Lin was finally able to rest on his bed.He rolled over and buried his head in the pillow.

——I hope those are all his own thoughts.

Pillows were as soft as usual.Luo Lin fell asleep in a daze, and it was already night when he woke up again.

... He didn't get up until he heard a knock at the door.Standing outside the door was Portway, who said to him, "Travis and the others are having a party on the second floor, so I must call you over."

Luo Lin smiled helplessly: "Me? It feels a bit strange... Are you with them too?"

Portov pointed out the door with his finger: "No, I'm going out now. There are some things sent by the brokerage company to do..."

"This way... be careful all the way."

Botov slightly lowered his head to look at Luo Lin, and it took a long time before he said: "...it seems to be snowing."

"kindness?"

"...If it snows, would you like to go out for a walk with me?"

Before Luo Lin had time to answer, Portovey had already turned his head to the side, and hurriedly said, "Forget it, I'll leave today. Goodbye."

Seeing the direction in which Portov left, Luo Lin was a little startled.

He stood at the door of the room for a long time, thinking that there might be nothing to do if this situation continued, just as Portovey mentioned, it would be better to go and see what other people were busy with.

In the corridor on the second floor, several men were crowded together, and some were sitting leaning against each other. Beer cans and wine glasses were scattered all over the floor.As soon as Luo Linfu saw so much wine, he started to have a headache, and was about to say hello and leave, but he was pulled from behind: "Luo, Luo Lin, Xiaomi Tang, come and play with us... old man How lonely it is to be alone..."

...Only the drunk Nafario would say such a thing.He lay on Luo Lin's back with hands and feet together, muttering non-stop.He was not the only one who was drunk, Luke was almost drunk, Sean staggered and saluted the abstract painting on the wall repeatedly, even Travis collapsed by the wall drunkenly, raised his A cup said to Luo Lin: "You come to drink too! Come on! I haven't seen you drinking before?"

Luo Lin wanted to get Nafario off his body, but while struggling, he refused and said, "I really can't...no need..."

He wanted to use the phrase "allergy" to make a serious refusal, but he forgot how to say that word in a hurry.At this moment, Alfred, who had already returned to the model house, took a glass full of beer and walked towards Luo Lin.He walked crookedly, as if he was drunk, but there was still a clear smile in his eyes: "What are you talking about... Open your mouth, Luo Lin..."

What was completely inconsistent with Alfred's gentle smile was the strength with which he tightly held Luo Lin's chin.Luo Lin's mouth was opened, and Alfred forcibly poured the whole glass of beer into it.During the resistance process, Luo Lin choked on the wine, and when he was about to resist after his breath was over, Alfred downed the second glass.

Then came the third cup, the fourth cup... Everyone who was already drunk laughed happily, but they didn't notice that Luo Lin's complexion became extremely bad.His face was ashen, and he stood still for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, there was no focal length in his eyes.

...Luo Lin had only been drunk once before.When he was a child, his gambler father coaxed him to drink half a bottle of Baigan, and when he woke up again, his mother just lay on his bed and cried badly.Luo Lin felt strange at the time, because he didn't feel a headache.However, my mother said that I must not drink alcohol. If he drinks alcohol in the future, it will definitely cause serious problems.

Although Luo Lin didn't know the reason, he still obeyed his mother's words.Since then, he has rejected those infrequent entertainments on the grounds of allergies.So he never knew that after drinking, he would become extremely submissive—his father was also drunk at the time, commanding him to climb up the beam, hang a hemp rope on the top, and put his neck into the rope cover.When his mother came home, Luo Lin almost finished the set of hanging movements, how could she not cry into tears.

And now Luo Lin was drunk again.He obediently sat down on the ground and smiled at everyone.

The photographer came up the stairs with the camera on his back, ready to take some pictures for daily life.However, what he saw was the scene where Luo Lin took off his shirt under the booing of everyone.Luo Lin kept smiling, half-closed his eyes, letting everyone get close.Alfred looked at him like this for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "Luo Lin, come and kiss me."

Luo Lin stepped forward and lightly stamped on his cheek.The men roared, laughing loudly and applauding.The photographer felt that this was an irritating topic, so he pointed the camera in the direction of Luo Lin.However, Alfred turned his head sideways, and said leisurely, "Will you not give me a kiss?"

Luo Lin blinked his eyes slowly, but still leaned over, and awkwardly pressed his lips on Alfred's.The men were silent for a while, and then there was an uproar.

Then Alfred's request became even more indescribable.He made Luo Lin do all sorts of ridiculous, even obscene gestures, and then said, Luo Lin, why don't you come and kiss my toes?

At this time, no one spoke anymore.The photographer hesitates to move the camera away.And just as Luo Lin knelt down, Rivers ran up the stairs, raised his foot and kicked Alfred's chest violently: "What thedamnhellyouarefuckingplanning! Fuckyouyouasshole!!"

Luo Lin watched all this happen blankly.Rivers yelled at everyone like crazy: "Do you think this is fun?! Are you going to watch it like this forever?! Let's all drink and drink to death!! Go to hell, you sons of bitches !!"

In a frenzy, Rivers kicked the jar and cup downstairs.The sound of glass shattering echoed in the surprisingly quiet atmosphere. At the end, only Alfred said lightly: "...Luo Lin himself has never had any objections. Also, I remember your kick, you The savage."

"Fuck you savage! You son of a bitch..." Rivers rushed at Alfred, and the two cameramen tried their best to stop him.Although Rivers kicked and kicked, he couldn't hurt Alfred in the slightest.The latter put his hand on the place where Rivers first kicked up, and he was actually laughing.

In the end, Rivers could only turn around panting, facing Luo Lin's direction.Luo Lin still maintained the posture of kneeling, his upper body was naked, and the zipper of his trousers was untied. He was looking up at him in fear, his eyes were like those of a child.

Seeing him like this, Rivers had an angry and unbearable expression on his face.Rivers shook off his coat and wrapped Luo Lin up, leaving a mess all over the floor, and pulled Luo Lin back to his room.The people in the corridor regained their strength and began to complain about Rivers' attitude dully.

In the storage room, Rivers slammed Luo Lin against the wall: "What are you thinking!! What are you doing!! Are you really going to kiss Alfred's feet if I don't come back?! You Are you an adult, do you know what you're doing?! Answer me and don't keep talking!!!"

Luo Lin looked at him in horror, with his mouth slightly open, unlike his usual indifferent appearance.Rivers frowned, gritted his teeth, and suddenly hugged Luo Lin tightly.

He hugged Luo Lin very hard, tightly holding Luo Lin in his arms.It took him a long time to raise his hand and lightly supported Luo Lin's neck, where it was warm and humid.

Rivers' voice trembled a little: "...Are you okay."

Luo Lin failed to give an answer.However, Rivers saw him smile, with a very innocent expression.

Rivers frowned again, but said in a deep voice: "I hate you, Luo Lin, I hate you, I really, hate you to death..."

He hugged Luo Lin again, and Luo Lin obeyed, hugging his back.

... Luo Lin went to bed first that night, and Rivers alone dealt with the ankle that was injured again due to his inappropriate actions.Someone knocked at the door, and after Rivers opened the door, he heard Luke whisper softly: "Sorry...we all drank too much just now..."

Rivers tried to close the door with a cold face, but Luke added at this moment: "Luo Lin was drunk by Alfred. He didn't want to drink at first... After he was drunk, he was very strange and obedient. We don't know what's going on, so we didn't stop it... don't be angry with us, okay?"

Rivers snorted coldly: "I'm not angry with you, I just want to kill that son of a bitch."

So Luke added without fear of death: "Oh, then you should actually apologize to other people, you know...some people, they are...uh, very upset about your behavior just now..."

… Rivers' last words before closing the door were: "Fuck 'em."

……

When Luo Lin woke up the next day, he was completely ignorant of what happened last night.Rivers has taken care of his clothes and the like, so now he has no abnormalities except for a headache.So Luo Lin stood up, saw Rivers looking at him with a deep expression, and asked cautiously: "How was your follow-up visit yesterday?"

Rivers frowned and exhaled: "That kind of minor injury has healed up long ago, but thanks to your blessing last night, it hurts again now."

Luo Lin suddenly became worried: "Last night? I... have no memory, did I hurt you?"

"...you don't remember what happened yesterday?"

Luo Lin shook his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry..."

Rivers leaned against the head of the bed in a broken state, and finally heard Luo Lin say softly: "This is the first time you've talked to me in the past few days...it's great."

——Actually, that’s not the case.

Rivers suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and finally pretended to be relaxed and said: "By the way, what I said to you last time, just pretend it doesn't exist."

Luo Lin looked up: "What are you talking about?"

"...It is the sentence that I will not like you immediately. Let me pretend that I didn't say it..."

"..."

Rivers turned his head back and smiled at Luo Lin:

"I will still like you for the time being. I guess I will always be in the future... I will, protect you."

It was that Luo Lin didn't know what his words meant, but he was preparing for a new day under the meaningful eyes of everyone.

... The assigned tasks for this day are related to the quick change of outfits and walks.Luo Lin was originally staying in the background, nervous and looking forward to it.But even in such a serious atmosphere, there are still many people who want to approach him, with different expressions on their faces, some are worried, some are curious, and some are gloating.Feeling puzzled, Luo Lin could only watch as Rivers drove them away one by one.Fortunately, after the mission officially started, everyone started to get busy, so he could seriously devote himself to the content of the game again.

Clothes had to be changed six times in total, which was twice the usual number of walks to change clothes, but the time limit for each change was extremely short, and there was no help from the changer.Most of the original men's ready-to-wear are easier to wear than women's. This time, in order to deepen the challenge, the clothes LGM found are all conceptual samples, and each one is more complicated than the other.Fortunately, Luo Lin's hands and feet were nimble and careful, and after the first few rounds, there was no problem at all.

However, when he was changing his fifth set of clothes, Zhang Yishan appeared.The assistant shouldn't have walked into the backstage at this time, but Zhang Yishan stood beside Luo Lin with folded arms.Luo Lin smiled at him, and wanted to continue walking on stage nervously, but Zhang Yishan said to him coldly: "It's not enough to have my brother, do you even want to mess with Alfred?"

Luo Lin was tying the gothic wrist ornaments to his hands, when he heard this, he looked at Zhang Yishan in amazement and bewilderment.

Zhang Yishan didn't explain any more, and read a sentence in a low voice, leaving Luo Lin with a contemptuous and disgusted expression, and turned to leave.

In the next two rounds of walking, Luo Lin was in a mess.After all, he forgot three accessories that he was supposed to wear, and the completion time exceeded the stipulated time by a lot.Everyone could see that his expression suddenly became extremely disturbed, but most of them couldn't feel any sympathy for him because of something that happened last night.

Only Luo Lin knew that all his sad emotions were due to Zhang Yishan's silent words before he left, which looked like the word "bad" from the shape of his mouth.

...It is no surprise that Luo Lin's final score was only ranked in the middle and bottom.Rivers, who also performed abnormally like him-others talked about Rivers' hard photos were not proportional to his performance, but Rivers was the main show of the Dior vampire series at the age of 19, how could it be true? Insufficient strength?Luo Lin thought that the "injuries he caused to Rivers" might have affected his performance, and his heart became heavier.

But he didn't know that this was not his lowest point coming.After the review time, Sith called him to an empty room with a sullen face, and played a video in front of him.

The room was dim, and the light from the projection screen fell on Luo Lin's face, making it extremely obscure.Luo Lin looked at the video that was cut from the camera last night, and his expression gradually became surprised and ashamed.His body began to tremble and his hands clenched into fists.

Sith sat aside and slammed the projector's remote control on the table after the video was broadcast.Silence hit Luo Lin's heart, and finally he heard Sith say angrily: "What effect do you think this image will have if it is put on TV? Give me an explanation, Luo Lin!"

Luo Lin lowered his head, his eyes were wide open, his mind was blank, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't even open his mouth.In the video, he is like a puppet, making all kinds of funny and unbearable movements as if being manipulated.At the end of the video, he saw himself kneeling on the ground without any resistance, kneeling on all fours like an animal, with his head raised towards Alfred's toes.There was an indescribable expression on his face. Although it was hazy, there was no slight disgust. It was so obedient that it reminded people of a domesticated dog.

...Anyone who looks at me like this will feel contemptuous.

The humiliation almost made Luo Lin want to faint.After waiting for his answer for a long time, Sith couldn't hold back his anger again: "You were originally one of my favorite players, but is this what you really want to show? Is that what you think?" ?"

Luo Lin's voice trembled, and finally he only said softly: "Alfred forced me to drink... I was drunk, I don't remember..."

"If he forces you, can't you just punch him? Don't you know how many negative effects you will have if you put this kind of thing on TV!"

Luo Lin didn't speak anymore.All the heavy emotions on his body have been so thick that Sith can feel them.The expression on Luo Lin's face was too heart-wrenching, so Sith could only suppress his indisputable anger, and said again: "...LGM will not use this video in TV programs. But I Please, Luo Lin, don't let me down again."

Sith turned and walked out of the room, leaving Luo Lin alone, facing the paused picture on the screen.On it, there was a man who was ashamed and forced to look sideways.

A quiet atmosphere surrounded Luo Lin.It was so quiet that Luo Lin felt he couldn't breathe.He felt his throat was blocked by something, he had to open his mouth and breathe with all his strength in order to get the thin oxygen.His chest heaved violently, his breathing became faster and faster, and golden and green halos began to appear in front of his eyes.

--So sad.

--So sad.

With a bloody coolness in his mouth, the screen in front of him began to distort.Luo Lin tightened his collar, and found that he couldn't stop this painful behavior at all.Violent dizziness hit him, Luo Lin opened his eyes, and fell backward amidst the chaos of colors.

His eyes couldn't focus, and in a blur, someone supported him from behind, and then gently let him slide to sit on the ground.He fell into a familiar embrace, and someone from the side took out a brown paper bag and covered his nose and mouth.

It took Luo Lin a long, long time to finally calm down his breathing.His eyes still couldn't see things clearly, and he could only blink tiredly and exhausted.

He just leaned on it quietly, waiting for his mind to regain the ability to think.In the end, he tried to raise his body, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Rivers..."

However, the person who answered him replied in Chinese:

"I'm not him."

Luo Lin opened his eyes wide, watching Duan Fei walk around in front of him, take off the LGMStaff hat on his head, and put it aside.
