Chapter 167: Random Thoughts
The last few weeks of Supermodel Reversal were missing their mentors.
CP fans couldn't see Luo Qinglin and Jiang Yanyu, so they asked Reuters for news. @Yu Tan asked where the two were hiding and why there was no news.
Luo Qinglin didn't go anywhere else. He stayed at home every day, looking forward to the final announcement of the ranking results. After the competition, he had a good meal with Qin Xiaoxi and said goodbye, then flew to Qianyu Island to take up his work.
After Xi Min and Jiang Linxu’s cover was released last time, it received good word-of-mouth online.
Jiang Linxu's mom fans quieted down a lot, and Jiang Su was very satisfied with the result, so she asked Editor-in-Chief Xin to arrange another episode with the young couple and asked Luo Qinglin to help.
In order to prepare for the filming of FILLE, Luo Qinglin went to bed early and got up early every day and exercised seriously.
After doing a set of anaerobic exercises on the first day, Luo Qinglin's muscles were sore. He walked up and down the stairs tremblingly and his legs were shaking. He had to be supported by Jiang Yanyu before he could walk.
However, after persisting for a few days, the soreness subsided and the exercise effect was significant. Luo Qinglin went from not being able to hold out for just five to being able to do twenty squats with ease.
In addition to the improvement in his physical fitness, just as Jiang Yanyu said, his weight stopped decreasing. Exercise finally allowed him to gain 0.5kg, which was a big step towards his physical recovery.
The penultimate day that Luo Qinglin stayed in Shanghai was also the last day of the “Reverse Supermodel” live broadcast.
The program has had a bad fate, with mentors taking turns to be sick and hospitalized, and equipment problems.
In the past month, among the contestants, only Qin Xiaoxi and Chu Shiyi gained some loyal fans. The popularity of the remaining models is not very high. Instead, Bai Shengyun and Luo Qinglin are more popular.
The results were announced indoors in Shanghai, at a gymnasium on the river beach, and were broadcast live in the evening.
The production team invited many celebrities to help out. It didn't feel like an award ceremony at the end of a variety show, but more like a red carpet ceremony, as if it would be announced as a charity event in the next second.
The red carpet was lined with reporters, and the stars, wearing haute couture or ready-to-wear, were vying for attention, flashing lights, and using guns and cannons.
Under the spotlight, everyone seemed to have forgotten that this was just a closing awards night, not a grand ceremony, but no one cared. They only cared about who outshined whom, who pales in the spotlight, and who is not as good as whom.
When the live broadcast started, the original audience of the show were very surprised, wondering how this stingy show could invite so many celebrities and decorate the venue so beautifully.
[Am I seeing this right?] Are you sure this is "Reverse Supermodel"? 】
[There is also a red carpet?] I thought I could just find a studio, announce the results and be done with it. 】
[Is Qu Man here?] Will Qin Xiaoxi meet Qu Man today? 】
[The above, the double A is not removed, don’t knock it blindly! 】
[Where is my brother!] Where is my sister-in-law! I want new food! 】
What will sister-in-law wear today? Will you wear spicy clothes? [Rubbing hands in anticipation]】
The weather was cold, and Jiang Yanyu couldn't let Luo Qinglin go out wearing a sexy belly-revealing outfit. She stood in front of the wardrobe and carefully chose a unisex suit that Etoile had given her last year, and then put a thick coat on the outside for him.
Luo Qinglin is abnormally thin now. Jiang Yanyu found some autumn clothes from somewhere and insisted that he put them on first before letting him wear the outer clothes.
After putting on the whole suit, with three layers inside and three layers outside, Luo Qinglin looked relatively healthy, with an upright posture. However, only Luo Qinglin himself knew that the clothes on his body were too thick and weighed him down so much that he couldn't even lift his hands.
Jiang Yanyu, on the other hand, wore very little. She went out in a light couture outfit, which formed a sharp contrast with the slow-moving Luo Qinglin.
When we arrived at the venue, the flash lights shone brightly in the darkness, making the surroundings look like daytime.
Luo Qinglin wasn't used to taking photos under such strong lights for several months. He held Jiang Yanyu's arm tightly and walked onto the soft red carpet.
Click, click.
The flash lights flashed in the night, and the brightness was too high. Luo Qinglin unconsciously wanted to squint his eyes, but suddenly he remembered that the reporters were taking pictures, so he used his spirit to resist the instinct and forced his eyes wide open.
Jiang Yanyu smiled casually at the camera and waved as a greeting, then turned around to see how Luo Qinglin was doing and whether he was feeling well.
Luo Qinglin held his arm tightly, and Jiang Yanyu thought he was nervous, but Jin Sican opened his eyes wide, revealing his pupils like two big black pearls.
For some reason, Jiang Yanyu thought of the long-tailed tit, a cute little bird with a small and plump body and round and dark eyes.
If Luo Qinglin was really a little bird, then he must be this kind of little tit that is so attractive at first sight.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yanyu's smile widened. He rubbed Luo Qinglin's hair, pinched his face, and said softly, "Be good, the lights are too bright, it's okay if you want to squint your eyes, it's also very cute."
When Jiang Yanyu moved like this, the frequency of the shutter sounds increased significantly.
Luo Qinglin stared with a look of panic in his eyes. He glanced at the lens and then quickly looked away, really like a frightened tit.
[Sister-in-law has lost weight again?] Haven’t you recovered yet? 】
[My sister-in-law's face looks so small, I feel like my brother can cover it with one hand. 】
[Hahaha, my sister-in-law is wearing so many clothes that she can hardly walk! 】
【ah! ! ! ! My brother pinched my sister-in-law’s face! Is sister-in-law shy?
"Why did you touch my face just now? There are so many people watching us!" Luo Qinglin complained in a low voice as he walked across the red carpet and headed backstage, leaving the flash lights behind him.
"What's wrong with touching you? I've restrained myself by not kissing you in public. I wanted to kiss your cheeks, ears, and lips just now..." Jiang Yanyu said confidently.
"You...you are boring!" Embarrassed by the dirty talk, Luo Qinglin glared at him, "You are not serious in such a formal occasion and don't care about your image."
Jiang Yanyu smiled softly, took the person in his arms and slowly walked towards the inner field.
"I should kiss you more in front of the camera now. Otherwise, when I retire next year, I won't have the chance to show off in front of everyone." Jiang Yanyu said.
Luo Qinglin didn't believe the lame excuse he came up with. Posting photos and videos was an attempt to show off. It was obvious that he was deliberately teasing him.
"Boring..." Luo Qinglin curled his lips and muttered softly.
This scene was captured by the live camera. There was no sound, and CP fans could only guess what the two were saying based on their lip movements.
[Family members, my sister-in-law must be acting like a spoiled child, pretending to be angry with my brother and asking him why he pinched his face! 】
【What? ! My sister-in-law knows how to act like a spoiled child? 】
[When will Yu Qin be able to record his sister-in-law acting like a spoiled brat? I really want to see 555】
[@虞覃@虞覃, keep up the good work and let your brother and sister-in-law go back to record "Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter"! 】
[Who would understand? I hadn’t seen my brother and sister-in-law for three weeks, and I watched this short scene over and over again for more than ten times. 】
......
Most of the stars have already taken their seats in the backstage, and the live camera is still operating on the red carpet. The backstage is in the preparation stage and the camera has not been turned on.
Luo Qinglin glanced around quietly to see which celebrities were there. A small number of them were second- and third-tier stars whose commercials he had appeared in, but most of them were first-tier stars he had never had the chance to meet.
The tutor's seat was in the middle of the front row. There were four seats, all of which were empty, waiting for a few people to arrive and take their seats.
Many celebrities greeted Jiang Yanyu respectfully. Most of them stood far in front of their seats, waving and not coming forward to block Jiang Yanyu's way.
Luo Qinglin had walked halfway and just reached the edge of the front row when a male celebrity with a baby face rushed in front of them and greeted them eagerly.
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Luo." The baby-faced man stretched out his hand and handed it to Luo Qinglin with a smile on his face.
"Hello." Luo Qinglin didn't know who this was. He searched his memories but couldn't remember. He could only smile and respond dryly.
"Brother Qinglin, don't you remember me? I'm Jing'an. You shot the print of a soda commercial for me last year." said the baby-faced boy.
The baby-faced boy smiled and called out "Brother Qinglin", which made Luo Qinglin feel a little flustered for some reason.
Ever since the Shen Yin incident, Jiang Yanyu didn't allow anyone to call him "Brother Qinglin" anymore. He himself was scared when he heard it and was traumatized by the word.
Jiang Yanyu is now on high alert and won't allow strangers to approach. "Is there anything else? If not, please make way?"
Jiang Yanyu has been much more polite recently. He no longer curses, holds grudges, and takes revenge when he's upset like before.
"No, no," Jing An waved his hands, took a step back, and turned his face slightly away, looking very innocent, "I just came to say hello and see if Brother Qinglin still remembers me."
Jiang Yanyu glanced at him, groaned in displeasure, and walked forward with Luo Qinglin in his arms, reminding him: "Don't call him 'Brother Qinglin' anymore, he doesn't like it."
Before Jing An could answer, Jiang Yanyu walked past him with an arrogant look on his face.
It was quiet all around. Many stars looked at Jing An. Those who were talking just now fell silent, curious about what was happening there.
In the next minute, no one came forward to disturb them. The two walked smoothly to the tutors' seats and sat in the two seats in the middle.
Several celebrities had already arrived in the back row and sat upright in their seats. When they saw Jiang Yanyu sitting down, they greeted him in low voices with smiles on their faces.
As Luo Qinglin sat down, he was still wondering when he had taken a photo of the man just now, and it was a soda advertisement.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Yanyu glanced at him, "Are you thinking about another man? That ugly man just now?"
Jiang Yanyu did not lower his voice, and the stars in the back row could hear it clearly. They exchanged glances with each other, suppressed their gossipy smiles, and continued to listen calmly.
Thinking about other men...
This sounded strange, as if he had changed his mind.
"I was wondering, when did I ever take a flat photo of him?" Luo Qinglin whispered in a low voice, "Besides, why do you attack someone's appearance so casually?"
"He is an ugly man to begin with," Jiang Yanyu snorted coldly, crossing his legs and said, "an ugly man with evil intentions."
In the corner of his eye, the celebrities in the back row moved slightly, with the corners of their mouths raised. Luo Qinglin could even feel their gazes at the gossip.
"Okay, be serious!" Luo Qinglin glared at him and warned.
"I have evil intentions..."
"What else?"
"He has evil intentions."
"you!"
The young couple was bickering, Luo Qinglin lowered his voice for fear that others would hear, but Jiang Yanyu didn't care at all, wishing that others would hear it and know that Luo Qinglin was his boyfriend.
The bickering ended when Bai Shengyun arrived with JL.
The atmosphere in the venue was pretty good when Luo Qinglin entered. The celebrities were reserved around Jiang Yanyu, but very friendly to him, with sincere smiles.
But when Bai Shengyun entered the venue, the atmosphere became noticeably stagnant. Luo Qinglin felt that the venue was quiet for several seconds. After Bai Shengyun sat down, voices began to be heard again, and on the surface, things returned to normal.
How many people has this stupid roe deer scolded?
Luo Qinglin frowned and looked at Bai Shengyun who was unaware of anything. He smiled and didn't care about other people's looks at all. He lifted his long legs and sat next to him, crossing his legs.
"You should let JL sit next to me, and you sit next to Jiang Yanyu." Luo Qinglin reminded.
"Why are there so many rules? I just want to sit next to you." Bai Shengyun's arm had the stitches removed, and he became even more arrogant and noisy than before, and no one could control him.
After saying that, Bai Shengyun seemed to be uncomfortable and loosened his tie, leaving it hanging loosely around his collar.
Luo Qinglin looked at his carefree appearance, shook his head helplessly, and reminded him: "Be careful that Aunt Bai sees you like this in the live broadcast and gets angry again, and flies to Shanghai to slap you in the face."
Bai Shengyun was fearless and snorted disdainfully, "I'm going abroad the day after tomorrow, to New York. I wonder how that old woman can catch me and slap me in the face!"
Going to New York?
Luo Qinglin had a bad feeling. He squinted his eyes and asked tentatively, "Why are you going to New York? Do you have a new job there?"
"Yes," Bai Shengyun admitted generously, without any shame, "I went to shoot a documentary for Qin Xiaoxi, the name is 'Life on the Show from Zero'."
Bai Shengyun smiled, his tone quite proud, as if he was very satisfied with the name of the documentary he had come up with.
Starting from 0... Documentary?
This is a psychopath.
Luo Qinglin sighed and was too lazy to care or persuade. Anyway, Bai Shengyun, this idiot, would never be able to catch up with Qin Xiaoxi, so just let him go.
"How is it? Isn't it great to make a documentary? That woman is gone, and now no one will come to snatch Qin Xiaoxi from me!" Bai Shengyun raised his eyebrows and felt that he had thought of a unique way to pursue someone.
After Xiao Ruxuan was taken back to the Bai family, Bai Shengyun didn't even call her by her name, but simply called her "that woman".
"Absolutely, absolutely." Luo Qinglin agreed without any emotion.
"I knew this method would work," Bai Shengyun patted his chest, vowed, and said with great confidence, "When you come back next year, I will be your brother-in-law!"
"Yes, yes, brother-in-law."
Luo Qinglin just gave a perfunctory answer, but Bai Shengyun took it seriously. He snapped his fingers happily and was in high spirits.
Silly roe deer.
Luo Qinglin sighed, hid aside, leaned against Jiang Yanyu's shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "Can you control him? Just let him go with Xiaoxi? She is your number one employee."
"How can I control it? I can't restrict his personal freedom. If he wants to follow me, he can follow me. Maybe if he follows me again this time, he will be so frustrated by Qin Xiaoxi that he will never recover." Jiang Yanyu said indifferently.
"but......"
Luo Qinglin wanted to say something else, but the staff in the venue suddenly began to count down. The surrounding lights dimmed, leaving only the LED screen on the stage shining.
Luo Qinglin kept silent, quietly straightened his clothes, sat up straight, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and waited for the live broadcast to begin.
When the countdown ended, the lights on the LED screen dimmed, leaving only a beam of white light shining on the stage.
Complex drum beats came from the surrounding speakers, and avant-garde yet retro Hyperpop music sounded.
Qin Xiaoxi was wearing a smart suit, with her slightly long hair draped behind her ears. She stood in the white light, looking straight in the direction of Luo Qinglin, and found her target in the dim seat.
The drum rhythm changed, becoming slightly faster than before. Qin Xiaoxi raised an eyebrow at Luo Qinglin and walked towards the center of the stage with full aura.
Qin Xiaoxi's catwalk was very different from the one Luo Qinglin saw last time. It was much more stable than when she walked in Paris. The height of her feet, the distance of each step, and the coordination of her limbs were all precise and cool.
There was no wind in the venue. Qin Xiaoxi's hair moved slightly with her footsteps, as if it was endowed with consciousness and life, and every strand was lively.
Arriving at the designated location, Qin Xiaoxi changed her cold expression, smiled at Luo Qinglin, and then walked back to the position set during rehearsal, waiting for the next model to appear.
Luo Qinglin clapped along with the others, feeling deeply moved.
The last time he watched Qin Xiaoxi's fashion show in Paris, he was afraid of separation and was very uneasy, as if he had separation anxiety. He couldn't even concentrate on the show until he heard that Qin Xiaoxi was going to participate in "Reverse Supermodel" with him.
But this time, Jiang Yanyu had already told him that Qin Xiaoxi would leave and go out on her own. So when he watched her fashion show at this time, his mood was not so low. He was able to maintain a normal level, neither happy nor frustrated.
When in Paris, Qin Xiaoxi broke out of her shell and grew up. In a short period of time, she grew into a person who no longer needed his protection.
No, Luo Qinglin refuted himself self-deprecatingly, thinking that Qin Xiaoxi now knows how to fight Muay Thai, maybe he is the one who needs Qin Xiaoxi's protection.
When Luo Qinglin was looking at Qin Xiaoxi, Jiang Yanyu didn't look at the stage, but just turned his head slightly to look at his canary with changeable emotions.
With a sigh, Jiang Yanyu whispered into Luo Qinglin's ear: "If you really can't bear to leave her, I'll let her come back every month to meet you and have a good talk?"
I thought Luo Qinglin would happily agree, but he just shook his head and refused: "No, I will go see her when she has time and wants to see me."
"Why?" Jiang Yanyu asked.
"She has finally grown up. She shouldn't continue to be influenced by me. It's time for her to live her own life." Luo Qinglin put on his formal smile again and continued to look at the next model, applauding and smiling lightly, without any flaws.
Jiang Yanyu stopped smiling and stared at Luo Qinglin in a daze, as if thinking about something.
-
The result of the competition was already determined. Luo Qinglin's team won, and the top three players on the team - Chu Shiyi, Duan Tianwei and Lin Xin received promotional resources from La Forêt and several other brands.
Even if Qin Xiaoxi got the highest score every time, and fans reluctantly went to vote for their teammates in the last episode, it would not be able to turn the tide and would be of no help.
Although there were accidents during the show, the general direction was still the same as Jiang Yanyu had arranged.
Qin Xiaoxi has gained a group of loyal fans with high fighting capacity. Even if Qin Xiaoxi is "exiled" to various fashion weeks for training in the future, she will not lose fans.
His canary is favored by those agents, so naturally they will scramble to take pictures for artists.
La Forêt has gained a lot of popularity in the Chinese market. As long as it increases its investment, more people who follow the trend will follow it.
Jiang Yanyu was very satisfied with the result.
But Luo Qinglin's words, "She has finally grown up, she shouldn't continue to be influenced by me," kept lingering in my mind and could not be dispelled until I went to Qianyu Island.
Jiang Yanyu couldn't help but wonder, does Luo Qinglin really want the things he gave him? Are you really willing to be influenced and assimilated by him?
The most frightening thing is, will there be a day when Luo Qinglin wakes up and no longer likes, or even hates, his abnormal desire for control?
Would Luo Qinglin hate him for being too controlling, too possessive, and not letting Canary live her own life?
