Mr. Butler on the catwalk

Luo Lin looked at Alfred, still frowning slightly: "...if you say so."

Alfred forced a smile: "Because you were so skeptical just now, didn't you?"

Luo Lin moved his eyes away: "Whether you have taken drugs or not, I am not going to comment on your living habits and patterns."

"...Your words don't sound very comfortable." Alfred rolled down the sleeves of his shirt little by little to cover his arms.The unnatural expression on his face after losing strength still makes people very concerned.

"Because I think you should admit that something is wrong with you. I don't think the way you are is the way you should be at work."

After saying this, Luo Lin sat down on the chair in the changing room and untied the laces of his boots.Before waiting for Alfred's response for a while, Luo Lin raised his head and looked sideways, only seeing the back of Alfred with his head bowed, as if he had no intention to refute Luo Lin.

Luo Lin didn't speak any more.Alfred knows his own situation best, and he should know what to do and what not to do.If he now acquiesces that his condition is not good, then the problem should be really serious.

However, the mission is about to begin. Luo Lin only hopes that Alfred can perform at his usual level. After all, they are still a group of bound teammates.

……

The content of this inter-group confrontation task is to take group photos.Specifically, it is different from a group photo of five or six people, but seventeen people are crowded together, wearing the same clothes and similar makeup, standing in three rows for shooting.Even the hairstyles are in the same style - everyone temporarily dyes their hair black and combs it back shiny.Paired with a white linen shirt, raw linen trousers, and lace-up calfskin shoes, it looked like a group of young members of the Italian mafia from the last century.

In such group photos, LGM requires the campers to do their best to highlight the individual's "sense of presence" with facial expressions and movements.After all, in this scene similar to seventeen-tuplets, it is extremely difficult to stand out at a glance.

When lined up in three rows, almost everyone subconsciously grabs the middle position in the first row, because the first row is the closest to the camera and has the most optional actions—you can sit, squat, or even lie down down.When it comes to filling the shot, it is natural that the horizontal extension movement is more beneficial.Raul almost swooped to occupy the first row, and then made a leisurely movement similar to lying on his side.And Alfred sat down at the leftmost place in the first row, with one leg bent and his arm propped up, which was considered a very conservative posture.

As for Luo Lin, he still couldn't get rid of his habit of not being crowded with people.Seeing that he was about to be pushed out of the circle again, someone grabbed Luo Lin's Luo Lin from the side with one hand, pulled Luo Lin roughly, and brought Luo Lin into the center of the second row.

Luo Lin stabilized the first stagger, and subconsciously looked at the object of the force.

—It was Rivers.

Although Rivers is just looking ahead with no expression, his straight and tight lips are unconsciously exuding hostility, which can be deeply felt by Luo Lin.

...Luo Lin hadn't spoken to Rivers for a long time.Knowing the intention of Rivers' move just now, now he actually wants to say thank you in a low voice.It's just something in Rivers' attitude that prevents him from uttering the word.

That strange thing, like hatred, is different.

Putting himself into a vantage point with a near-shoving motion without explanation.Luo Lin unconsciously remembered the back of Rivers standing by the door on the day he and he no longer lived together.That look carried a kind of helplessness and pain of resignation to fate, which was not pleasant.After that day, Rivers completely restrained his attitude, as if he had completely emerged from the image of the previous child.

——But to be honest, the cause of all this is really because I hurt this child.

Luo Lin lowered his eyes.

The photographer took his place in front of him, waiting for the models to adjust their poses.Rivers, who was standing on the left of Luo Lin, suddenly let out a breath, and pulled Sisterkovic, who was further to the left, to change positions.At that moment, Luo Lin almost subconsciously said "I'm sorry" to Rivers.

Sisterkovich began to look at the two people on the left and right with unclear eyes, and the photographer was making the models in the first row move closer to the center.Rivers was still looking at the front fixedly, but his Adam's apple rolled, and he laughed "ha" in a bitter tone.

That laughter suddenly made Luo Lin feel pain.

……

The final preparations for the shoot are almost complete.Others are trying their best to express different attitudes from others—unruly, funny, elegant, weak, bold—all kinds of expressions and movements constitute a man with a distinctive personality.The oblique angle, the outstretched arms, the raised muscles or the relaxed back line all put together a very eye-catching picture.

In the end, what was recorded in the camera was Sasha's cold and proud eyes when he turned sideways, Pierre's stretched waist, Luke's arms stretched upwards when he jumped vigorously, Edmund's childish smile holding his face... all kinds of All kinds of things bring vivid tension to this picture.

Only the man in the middle of the picture is out of tune with this scene.

He didn't move or express, he just stood upright, looked straight at the camera, his eyes penetrated the boundary of space, and reached a certain distant focal point.

It was a sober and cautious gesture, as if the person just wanted to exist quietly in this picture, without revealing or expressing any information related to himself.You can't tell what he's thinking, or what kind of character he is.He was among the 17 people, but he was definitely out of it.A person with no facial expression can easily be seen as a dull, insignificant little character-but this man is different.His eyes were so calm and composed, unmoved by the movements and expressions around him.

He is a man who knows what he is.His concealment and restraint made others' eyes attracted to him.

...Luo Lin gave up mobilizing his emotions when filming.He could smile, put his hands together to his lips - that's how he was used to it.But that's not enough, and it doesn't match my current mood.

What Luo Lin was thinking at that time was that he didn't want to show the guilt that suddenly lingered in front of the camera.He used his best efforts to let go of his emotions, and then hid his feelings, wearing a mask without cracks.

It's a coincidence that his performance like this, which was right and wrong, made him the focus.

……

This task is also judged according to the overall performance of each team member.However, in this mission, Luo Lin did not get the best case like the previous two missions.

The performance of him and Alfred finally ranked third, which is considered to be a decline. One of the No.1 Sasha and Sistakovich will be the main show for Roberto Cavalli's spring and summer catwalk, while Luo Lin and Alfred will only be assigned to make planes for Cavalli's second-tier brand-JustCavalli shoot.Luo Lin didn't notice Alfred's performance during the shooting, and he also didn't know that in the photo, Alfred's face was unstoppably pale, and his eyes seemed to be forced to stay open.Such a performance is hardly natural.

After the results were announced, Luo Lin did not rush back to the dressing room, but stood by the wall on one side of the studio, looking at Rivers.He wanted to say something more, but just after he said "I", he was interrupted by Rivers: "Don't say anything more. Now I don't want to talk to you."

Even if the tone wasn't really thorny, such a straightforward statement still made Luo Lin feel embarrassed.Rivers looked sideways to other places, took a breath for a while, and continued: "I... will always find a good person. So you forget what I said to you before. That's it, you Time to go back."

Luo Lin said "En".Because he didn't know how to respond, he silently said sorry again.He hesitated, and only took two steps back after everyone else had left, turned around and walked back to where he was supposed to go.

He wouldn't know, Rivers watched him walk back step by step from behind, and then smiled sadly in a low voice: "Someonegood, andsomeonelikeyou."

……

The first thing to do when you return to the changing room is naturally to change your clothes.Luo Lin and his room were temporarily partitioned, so it was small, and there was a place in the corner to draw the curtain, but neither Luo Lin nor Alfred used it when they were dressing.

However, the curtain is now closed, and Alfred's feet can be seen below.Where to change clothes is other people's freedom, Luo Lin didn't care much, just sighed, raised his hand and began to unbutton his shirt.

Then when Luo Lin unbuttoned his shirt to the third button, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him, accompanied by the sound of the silk object being torn apart.Luo Lin turned his head and saw that the curtain in the corner had been brought to the ground—it was pulled down at the same time when Alfred fell to the ground.

This situation really surprised Luo Lin.He walked over and tried to help Alfred up.When pulling open the cloth curtain covering Alfred's body, Luo Lin discovered that from Alfred's unbuttoned shirt, he could see a whole chest covered in red rashes.The red lump seen on the arm before has become more obvious and larger in size.

Alfred's eyes were closed, Luo Lin originally thought he had passed out.Under such a scene, Luo Lin only thought of standing up and calling LGMStaff to come over.But when he opened his mouth to yell for the first time, the fallen man beside him stood up and dragged Luo Lin to the ground violently.

Luo Lin opened his eyes wide.Alfred's eyes were still foggy, and his disordered breathing caused his chest to rise and fall irregularly.But even in such a weak state, he could still make teasing movements, and then said to Luo Lin: "...don't let others know."

Then he even added a sentence: "Otherwise, I... don't guarantee... you won't..."

The words that seemed to be threatening were inaudible halfway through.But being able to make such a threat probably isn't a big problem.Luo Lin's original worries were completely dispelled by these words, and now he simply turned cold and forced Alfred to stand up.

Alfred managed to maintain an upright posture, and then "snapped" to Luo Lin.Luo Lin hurriedly extended his hands to Alfred's shoulders, but Alfred's forehead still touched Luo Lin's neck.

...is hot.

Alfred's eyes closed completely again.

If possible, Luo Lin did not want to be in such trouble.He was probably considered a good person, but it was really difficult for Luo Lin to arouse special concern for Alfred.

Looking down at Alfred's face sideways, Luo Lin sighed, still put his arms around Alfred's waist, and dragged him to go outside quietly - when he left, he put on his own coat and also Not forgetting Alfred's wallet.

On the way to take a taxi to the hospital, Luo Lin sat in the back seat, beside Alfred who had passed out.Luo Lin lowered his head and frowned, thinking about many things.

... When it comes to "forgiveness", Luo Lin has done quite a lot before.He is almost unprincipled and tolerates too many things.

But only those things that Alfred has done, Luo Lin can't let go, and there is no way to take them away.

Because of his habit, Luo Lin couldn't say any curses, nor was he used to scolding.But if he could, he really wanted to cut this person out of his life.

Cross out very hard.

Such a description is the deepest disgust that Luo Lin can express.

It's a pity that such disgust still failed to make Luo Lin leave Alfred alone in the changing room, and before leaving, he closed and locked the door.On the contrary, he actually complied with this person's threat, and now he is helping to save his life.

... A long time ago, Luo Lin read an old Analects.Because it is an ancient text after all, Luo Lin worked very hard, but he still can't read it.In that book, there is only one passage that he remembers very clearly:——"How about repaying evil with virtue?" "How to repay virtue?"

He didn't quite understand it at first, but now he finally understands the meaning of these two sentences.

Luo Lin sighed again, pulled Alfred out of the car with difficulty, then with a heavy heart, supported the man leaning on his shoulders, and stepped up the steps in front of the hospital gate step by step.

……

Whether it was at this moment or later, Luo Lin could not develop any good feelings for Alfred.

So he would never have imagined that in the end, he would fall into the frozen lake in order to save this person's life, almost losing his life.

But he never realized that his kindness was still underestimated.
