Born As a Model

Chapter 47 - Meeting Again as a Stranger

Without a doubt, Sheng Jiaoyang's team was the clear winner for this team's challenge.

Yi Meiling's team was at the bottom. In his group, the contestants with the worst overall performances were eliminated and had to leave.

There are only eight contestants left.

Of course, Sheng Jiaoyang who got the most invitations still dominated the first position for the overall appearance. There are no best photos for this round. Only he has immunity.

To be honest, immunity didn't mean much to a contestant of her calibre. But, with immunity, they could be more relaxed in the next round. That might be the only advantage.

In the afternoon, people who do not get an invitation can only go back to the super model house and wait. Those who have an invitation go to take photos taken for poster ads. After all, as models who go to the store for interviews, they don't just do it for show.

Sheng Jiaoyang had to go to three different shops to take his picture. Naturally, she had the heaviest workload, and had to try on a lot of clothes. Sometimes, he even had to change his entire appearance to fit his clothes. Of course, he could not spend much time applying makeup. Mostly, she just put on a wig and changed her makeup.

When he returned to the super model house, everyone had already gone to their respective rooms to rest.

Surprisingly, the production crew did not come to wake them up the next day. They even very kindly gave them a day off. In addition, everyone is given a mobile phone sponsored by a mobile company that they can use during the competition.

"Ah. I can finally rest! "

As everyone explored the weibo or checked and chatted with their friends on their mobile phones, Sheng Jiaoyang left with only a small backpack.

Wang Wei went to look for Sheng Jiaoyang to add him as a mutual friend. As he searched through a different room, he still could not find it.

“Hah, she left so early? How'd he go? ” Wang Wei muttered to himself.

After leaving the super model house, Sheng Jiaoyang hitched a ride to the city center. Then, he called a taxi.

When he reached the neighborhood of Mei Niu, he was stopped at the front gate. He had no choice but to write his name in the security office and ask the guards to call the house phone at Mei Niu's house.

The guard told the person who picked up the phone that there was someone here for Lina. The woman replies that Lina is not home.

“Is he in Paris?” Sheng Jiaoyang could not help but interrupt. She recognized the voice of the housekeeper who hired Mei Niu.

"Yes" replied the housekeeper.

Sheng Jiaoyang was unwilling to give up. “Can you contact him for me and tell him to call me back?”

“Sorry, miss. I am not authorized to do that.

"

Disappointed, Sheng Jiaoyang walked out of the security office and returned to the waiting taxi. He lowered the window and looked at the surroundings. Unexpectedly, a familiar car slowly walked out of the driveway.

He did not realize whose car it was at first. When he started to notice it, the car had already left the neighborhood.

Through the half-open window he only saw half of the man's face.

“Lin Yan ?!”

Sheng Jiaoyang's eyes widened. He put his hand on the door handle and was just about to open it when he suddenly heard the driver ask, "Miss, where are you going now?"

The hand he held on the doorknob trembled. He pulled it back and heard himself say, "Follow that car!" Her voice was on the verge of hysteria.

"good. Please put on your seat belt." The driver started the engine and followed the car that had just left the neighborhood.

Sheng Jiaoyang covered his chest with a hand. He could feel his heart beating. His emotions are fucked.

But, he can't do it now. He was no longer Sheng Jiaoyang, at least not on the surface. No one knew that he was still alive, and he had a different identity.

Was she a little sad when she heard about what happened to her…?

A distracting vortex of thoughts filled his head while he continued to stare at the car in front of him.

They followed him to the front door of a horse farm.

Lin Yan got out of the car with his bodyguards beside him. Then, a brown haired woman with blue eyes wearing a jockey costume ran out of the farm. He headed straight for Lin Yan and hugged him excitedly.

“Honey, why so long?” The woman's sweet voice reached Sheng Jiaoyang's ears.

The corner of Sheng Jiaoyang's mouth twitched. He doesn't know what to feel.

“Nona, is that your girlfriend?” ask the driver after glancing at him through the rearview mirror.

Sheng Jiaoyang felt his throat choking. “No, she's not my girlfriend. Let's go. ”

"to where?"

“To somewhere near the Tiber river. You can park anywhere there. ” Sheng Jiaoyang leaning on the chair. He closed his eyes, his face was empty.

The driver started the car without a word.

As Lin Yan walked towards the horse farm, he suddenly stopped as if sensing something, and turned to look at the departing car.

“The passenger is a silver-haired girl. Asias. He followed us to this place before leaving, ”the bodyguard whispered from the side, renewing the situation.

“What's up, baby?” the woman asked when she realized the man had stopped walking.

"Nothing." Lin Yan gently raised the woman's hand from his elbow.

The woman frowned. He was going to take Lin Yan's arm again, but was desperate with his cold gaze.

When the taxi stopped, the driver said to Sheng Jiaoyang, “There are still many beautiful things in the world. Miss should stop thinking about what happened before. "

A woman wanted to go to the riverbank after seeing a man acting close to another woman. What else should he think?

The driver clearly thought that Sheng Jiaoyang would kill himself.

Sheng Jiaoyang thanked him and got out of the car after paying.

He wanders without purpose. As soon as he reached the bank of the Tiber river, he gazed into the distance. Each bridge over the river is beautiful in its own way.

The driver's words flashed through his mind: ‘There are still many beautiful things in the world. the lady must stop thinking about what happened before.’

A smile on his face.

Nothing to ponder. Sheng Jiaoyang would never be the type of person willing to die for a man. If he did, he wouldn't have left this place. For someone like him, giving up was not an option before he got what he wanted, unless it was something he didn't want anymore.

He still refuses to give up. For so many years longing for Lin Yan, he had never made his feelings clear, and in the end, he had never gotten a clear response. This can lead him to make the decision to give up on the emotional investments he has made over the years. Now, she belongs to someone else and will never reciprocate her feelings. For that, he did feel a little regretful.

There were many amazing things in this world, and many things that he had yet to do. There was no reason for him to waste all his energy thinking about something that would never pay off.

Seeing the glint in the corner of his eyes, Sheng Jiaoyang turned his head. He could see a man wearing a hat and surgical mask pointing an SLR camera at him.
