Mr. Butler on the catwalk

After the final show, the LGM training camp has come to an end.

The score of the show will be decided by votes of the TV audience and professional judges.After this score is calculated together with the previous game results, the final individual ranking of this training camp will be obtained.Because the program is not broadcast in real time, the time to get the ranking will be delayed, about a month, or even longer.During this period, LGM has no requirements for campers to perform or train. Therefore, it is foreseeable that during this gap period, campers who still have work contracts will return to their original jobs and move away from models. s home.

Therefore, before the campers moved out on the second day, the organizer specially held a dinner party.Without the trivial tasks and the pressure of competition, the faces of the men participating in the training camp finally showed unscrupulous smiles.Along the way, everyone has a rough judgment on their final ranking.Although popularity voting adds unpredictability to the results, the previous judges' scores are the basis for judging strength.Just like Raul, who scored at the bottom in the early stage, even if half of the United States votes for him, it is probably impossible to win the championship.

It's useless to worry about it at this point, it's better to let go of everything and enjoy the moment to the fullest.

There is no dress code for this buffet-style dinner, so you can see Colin in a three-piece twill suit and Travis in a hoodie.This is considered a parting moment, so there is still a bit of a sad atmosphere between talking and laughing.The well-connected campers sat in twos and threes, and from time to time someone stretched out a fist and hit another on the shoulder, and then they hugged rudely together.

……

"I'll find you in South Africa," Travis said, wiping away tears. "You've got a treat."

Luke sniffed, "I'll go play with you too, and I want to eat your mother's lamb liver balls."

"Then, then, the hook?"

The chocolate-colored fingers hooked up with the white fingers, and the two hugged each other, crying loudly.

... Pierre at the cocktail table looked at the actions of these two people, and shook his head helplessly: "The two of them will be in the same show next month, what's going on..."

Xiao En, who was standing beside him, smiled: "Young man. What a precious friendship."

Pierre shook his head, looked back at Sean, and changed the subject: "I will probably only be active in Europe in the future, and there are still some things to do in the family," he said after a pause, "If you have money in the future place... just call me."

Sean laughed loudly: "If I didn't know that my baby looks like your sister, I would definitely think that you are in love with me," he said while reaching out to hug Pierre, and said softly, "I can hear you Thank you so much for saying so.”

……

"Aiestis..." Nafario extended a long-prepared bouquet of roses to the future Princeton lecturer.

"I refuse." The latter pushed his glasses and said quickly with a blank face.

"……what?"

"I reject."

"I haven't even gotten to the point..."

"No matter what you say, I will refuse." The indifferent Greek left this sentence and left quickly.

"I want to donate some money to your future laboratory..." Nafario muttered in a low voice as he stayed where he was lonely.

In the distance, Aestis' footsteps stopped.

... "Sasha, eat shrimp." Siestakovich brought back Sasha who was about to quarrel with the bartender, grabbed the other party's collar and turned Sasha's head around, and poured a small glass of Shrimpcocktail accurately. into the opponent's mouth.

Sasha took the object into his mouth reflexively, and then protested inarticulately.Sistakovich supported Sasha's shoulders, and said in a very patient voice: "Sasha, be good, listen to me."

"I will return to China next week. I will not be a model anymore. I have not retired. In the past three years, I have only temporarily left the front line due to special personal circumstances. Being a model is accidental. Now the time is up, and I must return to China. Army go."

"Sasha, I can't be with you anymore. Don't be mad, okay?"

Sasha who was questioned could only stare blankly at Sisterkovich.He stopped chewing a long time ago, facing Sisterkovich's sincere eyes, he couldn't say a word.

……

Colin rubbed his nose: "To be honest, I'm still a little sick when I'm with so many gays..."

Edmund looked at him, smiled, and made no comment.

Colin seemed a little anxious: "I don't mean to discriminate, it's just physiological..."

Edmund interrupted him: "I know."

Colin smiled awkwardly: "Because you're not gay, I'm a little careless..."

Edmund's reply was still quick: "Of course I'm not." And then reiterated: "I'm not. So remember to keep in touch with me."

Colin smiled naively.Edmund looked at him.

……

Adechico greeted Luo Lin, and then walked to Raul's side in the corner: "What are your plans for the future?"

"...back to Florida."

"doing what?"

"Is it related to you...?" Lawrence paused, then lowered his head: "I don't know yet."

"Oh." Adechico didn't ask any more questions, just stood against the wall.

Raul bit his lips: "Has he...has he contacted you?"

"Yes." Adechico didn't look at Raul.

"he……"

"I didn't ask you anything." Adechico said with a tone like a sigh.After a moment of silence, Raul's neck began to tremble slightly.Adechico turned his head to look at him, and reached out his hand helplessly to touch Raul's head: "... I will visit you when I return to Miami in the future." Then he added: "It will be fine."

Raúl seemed about to cry again.Adechico looked at him, only to leave in the end.

……

While all the farewells were going on silently, Luo Lin stood by the long table full of bread baskets, showing a hesitant expression.It happened that Masayuki Aikawa passed by him, thinking that Luo Lin was unable to take food because of his inability to see, so he simply took a plate and a long-handled tong, wanting to help.

However, Luo Lin grabbed a piece of walnut bread before he reached out.Although there was a slight deviation and the movement seemed unsteady, it was enough for Xiangchuan to be surprised: "I can already see a little bit." Luo Lin turned his head and smiled at him: "Just now I was wondering which bread to choose."

Aikawa was startled for a moment, then smiled: "That's good."

With a smile, Luo Lin talked with Xiang Chuan about his future plans.

...Actually, regarding the matter of blindness, Luo Lin kept a little secret from everyone.

Before the accident, he had heard the news from the attending doctor that if the blindness was only caused by the sequelae of the concussion, the blindness should not exceed 36 hours.On the contrary, if there is no improvement within 36 hours, then his blindness is likely to be a solid lesion, and it is difficult to regain sight.

He thought that he might get better, and he didn't want to give up his chance to be on stage because of this temporary restraint.And if he is really unlucky enough to never see again, this final stage may mark the highest heights he can achieve in this lifetime.For this height, he is willing to bet on himself.

His words of "then let me fall off the stage" before going on stage were not fake.Fortunately, God loved him so much that this first-time gambler did not lose his bet.

... No one knows Luo Lin's thoughts.Others think that he is overly optimistic and stubborn, but in fact he has already gone out of that category and is just putting all his eggs in one basket.However, just looking at the way he and Aikawa talked and laughed gently, it seems that it has nothing to do with this kind of determination.

"Apart from the arrangement to go to the hospital, did He Shiwei tell you anything else?" Ai Chuan asked.

"No. The job should be decided based on the recovery situation. It's not clear yet."

"Is that so? In fact, He Shiwei's original arrangement was to let you go to Japan after the ranking came out. He didn't mention it to you?"

"Eh?" Luo Lin looked a little surprised, "Why Japan?"

"There will be Tokyo Fashion Week in March, and you will be commissioned to work there... So He Shiwei made a schedule early on, and it seems that he has no intention of canceling it now. I think your recovery is very optimistic, and the employer treats you There is no doubt about my physical condition, so it’s better to go there as planned. Japan’s medical conditions are also good, so you don’t have to worry.”

Luo Lin nodded: "I see. I will confirm with him."

"Okay. I see Sith, I'll go over and say hello to him."

Luo Lin still smiled: "We'll talk about it later."

Xiang Chuan left first, but someone came from behind Luo Lin and stopped behind Luo Lin.Luo Lin didn't look back, but he seemed to know who it was: "Do you want to come and say goodbye to me?"

Portov walked around in front of him, smiled reluctantly, "Because I'm leaving."

"We can always meet. London or Paris?" Luo Lin didn't have any serious expression on his face.

Portovey was silent for a moment, then said: "... Lapland."

Luo Lin showed a surprised expression: "You want to go back to Finland?"

Portway nodded slowly. "Yes. I think I should go back. Need... rest."

Luo Lin raised his chin, trying to see Botovey's expression clearly: "You..."

Portov waved his hands randomly in the air: "I'm fine. Don't worry." The voice of the exit became a bit weird and rough, and Portov was eager to cover it up, so he had to make casual gestures and put his hands at a distance: " If the earth is this big, the distance from China to Finland is not that long..." So saying, he pointed to a point in the air with his right hand, "If this is China, Finland is in..."

His right hand draws an upward slanting line, traveling on the earth in his imagination.The line traveled such a long distance that he couldn't continue the second half of the sentence.

Luo Lin was looking at him.Portway drew his hands back, hanging at his sides.His Adam's apple rolled twice, and the last thing he said was: "Look at me like this," his voice was too hoarse, "I will feel that you really saw me."

The atmosphere in the air was not right, he could only laugh dryly: "Ha."

...a brief silence.Then Luo Lin moved - and hugged him.

"...you were my first friend. And my... best friend."

Luo Lin whispered in his ear.What a nice word, it must be because Luo Lin is a gentle person——Botov closed his eyes, feeling that this kind of comfort made him feel even more uncomfortable.He is not good at words, and he is well aware of his boredom.Should he be grateful to Luo Lin for being willing to comfort himself like this, but why is he still like this...

"...Please don't forget me."

Luo Lin continued to say so.Portovie heard something that could not be faked from the tone of this sentence, so he moved some distance away so that he could see Luo Lin's expression clearly.

Luo Lin was still looking at him squarely, but his expression was no longer as gentle as when he was talking to Xiang Chuan.Luo Lin's eye circles and nose were a little red, and it was a weak expression that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Don't make such an expression..." Bodewei tried to show a smile that was uglier than crying, "...I don't forget you."

Because I can't forget you.

In the silence between the two, Portway accepted this reality desperately but resignedly.

……

The night is finally over.The smell of wine, the aroma of overcooked food, brewing and spreading sadness.Luo Lin said goodbye to many people, and finally it was time to leave the dinner party.He always felt that there was another person who hadn't said goodbye to him, but he couldn't remember who that person was for a moment.It wasn't until he walked out of the gate of the banquet hall and had no intention of turning back that he realized who that person was.

Rivers stood in the middle of the banquet hall, holding a cocktail glass, chatting with Pierre, and walked slowly behind the people who left.The lights gradually dimmed from the outer circle of the banquet hall, and Luo Lin couldn't move his eyes away for a moment.

A white shirt with rolled up cuffs, a light camel knitted vest, khaki pants and sailing shoes.Rivers' short blond hair has lost its rough look, and is slightly bent back properly, exposing the forehead line.

Rivers dressed like this is very strange, but Luo Lin also felt a sense of familiarity at the same time - his preference for white shirts and natural colors, and even Rivers' habit of smiling at Pierre -

Let Luo Lin see his own shadow.

...Luo Lin looked down at himself.

His hair was cut short and trendy before going on stage because he wanted to match the King of Deep Rock's design.Such a hairstyle would look awkward with a conservative cardigan or dress shirt, so today he gritted his teeth and changed his outfit—dark blue denim casual shirt, black jeans with washed marks, and distressed jeans. Dark Martin boots.He didn't understand how he could identify this suit of clothes so easily, and he was surprised at the degree of uniformity of the image after wearing it.He seemed to be eight or nine years younger, carrying the shadow of youth.

Only now did he understand who the shadow was.

Rivers may have deliberately imitated, but he himself has also been subtly affected.It's as if both of them left a part of their bodies during their brief time together.The two parties picked up each other's parts and put them back into the body, so intentionally or unintentionally left a more or less imprint of the other person.

It is impossible to say whether it is good or bad, but it is an undeniable fact.

... Luo Lin did not say goodbye to Rivers, because he knew that was not what Rivers wanted.He found He Shiwei's missed call on his mobile phone, and he thought it was time for him to leave.

……

"Just in the last two days, we flew to Boston. The overall environment there is better than New York. Massachusetts General Hospital has a well-known ophthalmology team. We are willing to accept your case."

Luo Lin nodded, and had no objection to He Shiwei's arrangement: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

He Shiwei looked at him: "Have you noticed that you have changed a bit?"

"where?"

"In the past two days, you haven't called me Brother He once."

Luo Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I didn't even pay attention... If it makes you feel strange, I will definitely change it back..."

"No, it's not necessary, I think it's a good thing." There was a smile on He Shiwei's face.

"I don't know……"

"Forget it, pretend I didn't mention it." He Shiwei turned back to look through his schedule, and asked after a while as if thinking of something: "By the way, did that kid Duan Fei come to see you?"

Luo Lin shook his head: "No. What's wrong?"

"He didn't come to your final show. I thought about what to do if he appeared and affected your performance, but he has been so silent recently, which makes me more worried."

Luo Lin lowered his head: "I'm moving out right away, so what can he really cause?"

"Too."

……

On January [-]th, Luo Lin left LGM, but Duan Fei did not show up.

On January [-], Luo Lin flew to Boston for eye treatment.

On February 0.8, Luo Lin's vision recovered to [-] with the naked eye.

On February [-]th, the final ranking of LGM was announced:

No.1: Sasha Katin SashaKatinNo.2: Luo Lin LoLin

No.3：相川政行AikawaGiulioNo.4：波特维雅尔文BotvidJrvinenNo.5：西斯塔科维奇高戈ShostakovichGogolNo.6：里弗斯布莱克RiversBlackNo.7：阿德契科班克斯AdeChikeBanksNo.8：皮埃尔豪雷PierreHouletNo.9：卢克海因斯RucRainseNo.10：肖恩波特曼ShawnPortmanNo.11名：埃德蒙福克斯EdmundFuchsNo.12名：特拉维斯里侬TravisLinenNo.13名：那法里奥曼基尼NefarioManciniNo.14名：科林普林斯ColinPrinceNo.15名：阿耶斯提斯海尔加斯AyestisHalkiasNo.16名：劳尔卡巴耶罗RaulCaballero退赛：阿尔弗雷德曼森AlfredManson这样的排名引发了模特业界的一次震荡。欧美媒体对于排名被赛制显著影响的事实保持极大地负面态度——事实上在对决周里，排名第一的萨沙的队友——西斯塔科维奇显示出了消极面对对决的态度，并以连续的失败一路为萨沙累计胜利积分。于此相反的言论则表示萨沙的实力明显强过其队友，因此这一周的表现并未直接左右比赛结果，两方论战僵持不下。然而萨沙和西斯塔科维奇的感情极大的为两者吸收了人气票，这一点无法否认，主办方也并未对此表示态度。

The Asian media focused on the fact that the first three Asians appeared in the top three of LGM, and two appeared at a time, and started a round of analysis on the current situation of the East Asian modeling industry.In China, Luo Lin's name began to spread at an astonishing speed, which quickly boosted Luo Lin's popularity among ordinary people.With the recognition of his strength in international competitions and his face recognized by Asian aesthetics, Luo Lin's image has changed from a simple "model" to an "idol" in a short period of time.At this time, the media still had doubts about the longevity of Luo Lin's popularity, but later facts proved that Luo Lin not only completed the multi-habitation transformation, but also maintained a high popularity in the 13 years before his retirement. Popularity is nothing short of worth mentioning.

However, Luo Lin, who had just finished recording the award ceremony in the United States at that time, was still ignorant of what had happened.

He is about to fly to Japan to accept a new job there.He felt that now was the best reality, and he would not have thought that there would be a disaster waiting for him in the future, but it also allowed him to get the love of his life.

The author has something to say:

...After this is the finale! ! ! ! !

Please read carefully what I want to say next:

1 This article is divided into endings, one for He Shiwei and one for Duan Fei.The two endings each have tens of thousands of words and many chapters.I will start to update after the two endings are written, and the non-ending will be better first, and then it will be even worse.If the ending you don't want to watch is being updated, please don't buy it by mistake...

2 So please auto-subscribe readers to stop auto-subscribing, okay?

3. The two endings are very complete, and they each explain the secrets of the character family (He Shiwei/Duan Fei). Those who are interested can buy it and read it, and they have the right to absorb the information.

4 Masochists recommend buying two endings, one can be seen as a BE ending.He Shiwei's ending violently abuses Duan Fei, and vice versa.

5 Of course, the unscrupulous party is more welcome to buy two endings to see how much fun the parallel world is.

In addition to the 6 endings, there are attached extras: Zhang Yishan x Aikawa Masashiki, Rivers x Luo Lin, Porterville x Luo Lin, the latter two can correspond to two endings, you can watch it with confidence.

The most important point is: I can write very slowly.I'm going to change jobs, it's a ghost if I have a time code...

Wait at least three or four months before coming back.If there was an update before, the precipitous episode came up first, okay?

[Duan non-ending: MYFIRSTANDMYLAST]
