Mr. Butler on the catwalk

Luo Lin actually had a lot to ask.But after going through all the things just now, what he wants to do most now is to stand up and turn off the embarrassing image on the screen.That feeling was too strong - he didn't want, and absolutely didn't want, to let Duan Fei see himself more humble.

However, Duan Fei stood up before him, picked up the remote control and pressed a certain button with his back facing the screen.The screen went black, and the only light source left in the room disappeared, only a little warm yellow coming in from the open door, which could allow Luo Lin to distinguish the outline of Duan Fei.

No one spoke.Luo Lin stared at the hem of Duan Fei's black and gray uniform - he had never seen Duan Fei in such clothes.The trousers were too short and the jacket was too fat, so Duan Fei could only roll up his sleeves, exposing a small section of his ankles.However, with such inappropriate attire, Duan Fei looked more...reliable than usual when he was wearing an expensive suit?

——That was an illusion.Nothing is reliable or not.He has nothing to do with you, Luo Lin.

It's just that Luo Lin propped his forehead with his hands, and when he was trying to clear his mind, Duan Fei stretched out his hand: "Don't sit on the ground, the ground...is cold."

Luo Lin didn't pass his hand over, but just stood up silently.He patted the dust off his body, lowered his eyes, and clenched his fists unconsciously.

When he stood up, he realized that Duan Fei seemed to have grown taller again.In the past, when I chose this angle, I could only see Duan Fei's forehead, but now, I was so desperately facing Duan Fei's eyes.This discovery made Luo Lin uneasy - Duan Fei was still growing in the six months he hadn't seen him for a long time. This established fact made Luo Lin feel confused.Originally, he lowered his eyes to avoid other people's gaze, in order to make himself feel safe; but in order to avoid meeting Duan Fei's eyes, he had to turn his head further.

Duan Fei didn't speak, and Luo Lin didn't know what to say.There is an open door behind Luo Lin, he can choose to turn around and leave quickly, but that kind of behavior is very similar to running away.Luo Lin confronted Duan Fei in this silence, and finally only asked: "...Why are you here?"

"……work to earn a living."

There are only two words to answer myself.This simple answer made Luo Lin feel even more uncomfortable, but Luo Lin himself didn't know what the answer he wanted to hear.His mind was a little messy, he just felt that there were too many things rushing to him in an instant, so his usual calm mind had completely lost the ability to calm himself down.

"So...thank you, I'm leaving..."

As Luo Lin said this, he thought that he could only run away.He didn't want to be in this room, not at all.He didn't even want to see Duan Fei at this time, or it would be better not to meet Duan Fei at all in the future...

“…I didn’t come here to work to make money. I gave them money to hire me.”

Standing outside the well-lit corridor, Luo Lin saw Duan Fei standing in the shadow of the room.The 23-year-old man picked up his hat from the table and put it on, then walked towards him step by step.

Luo Lin suddenly felt flustered.The current Duan Fei is subtly different from the Duan Fei in his impression.Something is wrong...it shouldn't be like this.Luo Lin frowned, but there was a look of bewilderment in his eyes.Whether master or servant, elder or younger, he and Duan Fei have always been in an unequal relationship.In the past ten years, he has always obeyed Duan Fei, but he still treats him like a child; and now their employment contract has long been wiped out, facing Duan Fei who is not like before, Luo Lin no longer knows How should it be treated.

After Duan Fei lowered the brim of his hat, Luo Lin couldn't see his expression.But Duan Fei continued: "...Actually, I just want to see you. You don't have to be so nervous. I won't do anything to you anymore. I know you don't like me, so I won't cling to you forever."

Luo Lin subconsciously licked his lower lip, feeling the urge to plug his ears.

Duan Fei is still talking:

"I'm just here to deliver food today. I handed you the lunch at noon, but you didn't recognize me. So if you want to pretend that I don't exist in the future, it's not difficult."

Luo Lin opened his eyes slightly, but still didn't speak.

"...It's funny, because I always feel that you will still be there waiting for me. I wish you... happiness."

Duan Fei put down the rolled-up sleeves of his uniform, straightened the brim of his hat, and buttoned up the unbuttoned collar.This set of movements was completed very neatly, so he walked towards the exit of the corridor.

——But there is something wrong.Where is it?

Looking at the back of Duan Fei leaving, Luo Lin suddenly couldn't hold back and said, "What do you mean by what you said?...What do you mean by the last thing you said?"

Duan Fei stopped, then turned around with his head down.

"What's wrong?"

"...What, wish me happiness. That shouldn't be what you said, you..."

"...Then what else can you tell me?"

Luo Lin was a little surprised, and became irritable when he heard Duan Fei's voice.But at the same time he also felt that his earlier fears were valid - that's all.Duan Fei is not as calm as he looks, he——

"You have a new boyfriend, can I still say that I still like you?... That would be too funny."

Duan Fei's chest began to rise and fall.Luo Lin was stunned for two seconds, and then subconsciously asked, "What boyfriend?"

Compared with Duan Fei's speech, it seemed that Luo Lin's rhetorical question brought more shock to the other party.Duan Fei asked after a while: "...you...don't have a boyfriend?...the one who has been hugging your shoulders at noon..."

Luo Lin felt embarrassed: "...my roommate, Rivers. He and I... don't have that kind of relationship."

Silence, silence, silence.This stalemate continued until Duan Fei slowly raised the brim of his hat: "...Then you want to tell me now, do I still have a chance?"

It's not like that... Luo Lin felt that he should refute immediately, and began to regret it.In fact, it doesn't matter if he misunderstood him, so what if he really found someone he likes, but——

The feelings in my mind are not something that is given so easily.Otherwise, those scarred pasts will all look cheap in comparison.

Duan Fei did not force Luo Lin to give another answer.It was only after a long time that I started to say like I was talking to myself: "I have been very scared, afraid that you would not wait for me anymore. I feel very annoying every day, and I am so annoying. Whether it is doing discussions or writing papers, Sitting in a group of fresh graduates from high school feels really bad. I didn't understand anything for the first three weeks. I was looked down upon by my classmates and my teachers thought I didn't exist. I really didn't want to do it anymore. I really, every day , I want to write and call you every day."

"...I'm afraid you'll be with someone else while I'm reading or eating. I can't take it anymore."

"But I want to go back at Christmas and tell you that I have worked hard. I have really worked hard. I asked the Professor to do all the quiz for me for the next few weeks at the weekend, so that I can Make time to come and work here."

"I didn't expect you to be hugged like that. I didn't expect it. When you are uncomfortable, you won't call me by my name."

"...I want you to tell me. You tell me what I can do for you...I don't want you to suffer like this, but I don't want to be around you and make you sick. If I want to know what you suffer Bullying, will you really tell me? I..."

Duan Fei wanted to continue, but Luo Lin raised his hand:

"...Stop talking, Duan Fei. I don't want to hear you say this. I'm here to... work. I don't have the time to think about anything else, I can't think about it. I'm a man too, not a cat or a dog, I can handle some things by myself, so you don’t need to worry about it... Your part-time job is your business, I can’t control it, and I can’t control what you think. I just want to live my own life, whether it’s hard or uncomfortable. It doesn’t matter if there are a lot of things that I can’t figure out for the time being, I don’t want you to get involved again. I don’t want to go back to the past, I’m tired, that’s enough.”

As Luo Lin said this, he frowned and closed his eyes.

...Yes, it should have been said from the beginning.Things used to be too heavy.Please don't bring it up again.please don't...

"...But I can't help it."

Duan Fei said so softly.And Luo Lin no longer had the leeway to answer him.

"I don't need to bother you when you are with someone else, but I can't stop thinking about you. If you can't wait for me, then I will wait for you, and wait until you see me. I don't know what to do other than this." What to do. You hate me as much as you like, but I can't help it. I'm not begging you to forgive me..."

"..."

"It's just my thing to like you. You don't have to look at me, just pretend that I don't exist. I didn't expect to disturb you, I just watched you fall there, I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it Don't go..."

Luo Lin opened his eyes and saw Duan Fei's frowning, clenched teeth and a protruding lateral line on his cheek.

……

53 in the afternoon.The bus assigned to the campers had already left a quarter of an hour ago.On the contrary, Luo Lin felt relieved. It seemed that Sith had still made arrangements so that he could avoid all possible embarrassing situations.Luo Lin raised his hand to hail a taxi once in a while, then sat in the back seat and reported the address of the model's home.He took a long breath, then closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against the window.

tired.very tired.He only felt that everything that happened today was in a hurry-in fact, there were not many hasty and chaotic actions, but those details that were out of his control made Luo Lin's chest ache.Occasionally recalling his humiliating posture in the video, Luo Lin felt sick.

He wanted to suppress his negative emotions, so he forced himself not to think about those painful episodes.However, apart from these, the most vivid impression is the time spent in Duan Fei's arms.

Luo Lin always felt that there was something strange about Duan Fei.Now in the carriage, I suddenly realized that I could hear a violent heartbeat on the chest I used to lean on.And some of the buttons that Duan Fei quickly buttoned up before leaving seemed to be in the wrong place.

——That's because, do you like yourself?

Really...why do people always do incomprehensible things.Obviously letting go will make life easier for each other, why some people just can't do it...

Luo Lin raised his hand and pressed his temple.Well, in fact, he also understands.That's because they are normal people.Ordinary, contradictory, stubborn, people who make themselves and the other party suffer.

...forget it...let him go.

……

Two 10 minutes later.

When pushing open the door of the Model House, Luo Lin noticed a different atmosphere than usual.Most of the men were downstairs—in the dining room, in the drawing room, on the landing.Following Luo Lin's movement of opening the door, those eyes turned on him one after another.

Botov was originally staying in the corridor between the kitchen and the dining room, but at this moment he hurried over to Luo Lin with an expression on his face that seemed to be about to say something.However, Alfred just sat up from the sofa leisurely, stretched out his hand with his back to Portovey, and stopped him.Like Alfred's bodyguard, Raul grabbed Portway, who was stronger than him, and pulled him back with great force.In this weird scene, Alfred greeted Luo Lin with a gentle smile, "...Welcome home, Luo Lin."

Luo Lin took off the scarf around his neck and put it in his hand, frowned and looked at Alfred without saying a word.

Alfred walked up to Luo Lin, showing a very innocent expression.His voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by everyone present: "Last night, I'm sorry...I drank too much, so it's not appropriate to joke around."

Luo Lin turned his head to the side.He felt sick—he knew Alfred wasn't drunk, not at all.He remembers how he felt when he clamped his chin, forced, malevolent.

Alfred raised an eyebrow.Now most people could only glimpse his back, but couldn't see the funny expression on Alfred's face, with one corner of his mouth curled up.However, what he said was: "Really...I, I didn't expect you to like me so much and be so obedient...I think you won't be angry with me, will you?"

The tone was like that of a half-grown boy, with a hint of shyness that could not be heard normally.No matter how others reacted, Luo Lin's rare anger was ignited.He forced himself to suppress his emotions, and then grabbed Alfred's lapel: "Don't be so shameless... you..."

Luo Lin lowered his voice and glared at the person in front of him who had no intention of lying.But Alfred smiled at him, and said in a voice that no one heard: "I'm very interested in you, Luo Lin..."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand at an angle that no one else could see, and scratched Luo Lin's chest.

"...You are obviously with Zhang Yishan, you..." For Zhang Yishan's sake, Luo Lin didn't read this sentence aloud.

However, Alfred's eyes suddenly became serious, and then he snorted softly: "...you really saw it."

I've been ripped off.Luo Lin underestimated how calculating this man was, and before he could react, Alfred kissed him on the face.Luo Lin's eyes just opened wide, but at this moment Alfred stepped back abruptly and yelled: "Luo, Luo Lin, although you like me, but I..."

When he retreated, Luo Lin hadn't had time to let go, and now everyone saw Luo Lin pulling Alfred's front.Once it came out like this, anyone who watched from behind would probably think that Luo Lin was pulling Alfred to kiss him.Alfred hurriedly hid back, giving the audience a bewildered and innocent expression.

Luo Lin had never been angry in front of people before, and now his face was pale with anger, and he finally said in a deep voice: "Alfred, you will have retribution, go to hell!"

After speaking, Luo Lin found out with chest tightness that the cameraman came from the corner of the stairs carrying the machine and recorded his angry face.

……

Later, after Luo Lin left, many people present walked over to Alfred and asked what Luo Lin and Alfred had said at that time.

Alfred seemed to be hesitant and scratched his head in distress:

"He just asked me if I liked him... I was about to shake my head, but he..."

Raul threw the sports bottle in his hand sideways and threw it on the wall: "Shameless! You pretend to be so noble, but in fact it's just..."

Adechico covered Raul's mouth in front of Raul's outburst, and then asked Alfred: "So what are you thinking now?"

Alfred turned his head, thought for a while and said, "Although he is very good-looking, but..." He paused, and then smiled cheerfully: "If I had to choose, I would prefer to be with Raul. "

Raul's angry face suddenly turned red, and Travis, who was sitting on the other side of the living room, kicked the mat depressedly: "Does Luo Lin really like Alfred?"

Luke shrugged:

"I do not know."

Finally, Portway, who had always been sullen, said in a low voice:

"Luo Lin is not blind."

He looked up at Alfred who was being entangled by Raul, but the other party only returned him a kind smile.

……

When Luo Lin returned to the storage room, he was still trembling with anger, and even when he closed the door, he had a little more strength.Rivers was not watching from the outside, and now he was lying on the bed alone, doing something similar to leg presses.Seeing Luo Lin came back, he came up with concern: "What happened?"

"Alfred..." Luo Lin gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to say something, and finally threw the scarf on the bed: "He's a bastard."

Rivers nodded empathetically: "Yeah, he's not only a jerk, he's a son of a bitch, a guy with fluid in his head. I totally agree. Did you hit him? If that's the case I'll do it for you Applauded."

Luo Lin let out a long breath of annoyance: "I didn't hit him... I said he should go to hell, but it was filmed... You should be more careful."

Rivers moved closer, and rubbed Luo Lin's face with his thumb: "Actually, you should look away. Since it was photographed, it would be better to curse a little more... If you curse him to death, we will You can also dance around his corpse. But it's rare for you to be so angry, did he ask you to do something strange again?"

Luo Lin shook his head: "He lied to others that I like him..."

As soon as the words fell, Rivers was about to jump out of bed and rush outside: "I fuck that shameless fool..."

Luo Lin hurriedly stopped him, lest Rivers really rush out to fight Alfred.

...Before going to bed, the two people in the storage room were still depressed because of what happened in the past two days.Luo Lin looked at the ceiling, blinked his eyes slowly, and then said wearily: "I don't understand what Alfred is thinking at all. He doesn't need to do this at all. A game is a game, and his strength is not bad. How could such a thing be done?"

Rivers snorted: "That's because he was afraid. Last time you behaved so well, and Sith obviously liked you... I guess here, he knows the qualifications and past of other people It's clear, you are the most mysterious. He must be very wary of you... Huh, gloomy guy."

Luo Lin thought about his relationship with Zhang Yishan, and felt even more headache.Under such circumstances, he was very worried about Zhang Yishan's situation.However, it's useless to worry about it. Zhang Yishan's behavior in the morning actually made him feel that his worries were ridiculous and unnecessary.

Rivers stretched his legs towards the air, and silently added:

"And I think Alfred might be jealous of you. He keeps staring at you with strange eyes..." Luo Lin turned over, facing Rivers' face.He frowned in confusion: "I never found out?"

"Because he sees from the corner of his eye! He is a big man who sees people from the corner of his eye! Doesn't it mean that males don't have this function? What a fuck... As long as you and Luke are having a good time, he Just staring at you all the time, really... I thought he liked you at first, hum."

Luo Lin couldn't think of a reason.Alfred is really too complicated - he uses every means he can think of to get a good photo opportunity, and then maliciously suppresses others.For a person who has the qualifications to be a winner, if he does this, won't he be... Tired?

Here, Luo Lin felt that many people in this world were hard to understand, but Rivers began to talk to himself: "But speaking of it, this is the first time I've seen you with such a vivid face. You It looks good when you are angry, it won't look as mature as usual, and it doesn't look like a doll..."

Luo Lin was amused by his childish tone:

"I'm not a doll, okay... And I don't like to be angry at all. Anger makes people unable to control themselves, that's not good."

Rivers opened his eyes wide: "So you're usually not angry? What about laughing? Hitting people?" Luo Lin thought for a while, then smiled slightly: "It's rare... If you hit someone, it seems that you haven't had any. .I am timid."

"Afraid of being beaten?"

"...Afraid of hurting others. That would make me feel very sad."

"Oh my God..." Rivers leaned towards the head of the bed in a daze, "You are simply a saint..."

"What are you talking about..." Luo Lin pulled the quilt to his chest: "Go to sleep."

"Then, then..." Rivers ignored Luo Lin's words, and asked again: "Saint, have you ever had sex?"

Luo Lin was almost choked on his own saliva by this sudden question, so he could only turn over in embarrassment: "Turn off the lights and go to sleep!"

"Have it?"

"..." Luo Lin didn't speak.

"That means it's gone?"

"..."

"Is there any?!"

Luo Lin turned over, suddenly dimmed the bedside lamp, and then turned back to sleep.

That night, a question that was repeated dozens of times echoed for a long time: "Is there any?"

... Later, it seemed that someone whispered the answer.So the question was never asked again, replaced by a long-suffering voice of laughter.
