Born As a Model

Chapter 57 – Familiar Strangers

The contestants felt that Lina treated them much more gently when she trained them that afternoon. Even when they asked a troubling question, he did not get angry, making them feel flattered.

Lina's change in attitude was even more apparent to the staff she worked with.

The change only happened after Xu Jiaojiao asked for her signature, making everyone curious about what she had done to make Lina so happy in the waiting room. If they were in his place, they would not be able to think of any way to make Lina's mood change so much in less than ten minutes.

Even Lina's assistant, Sudan, was very confused. As Lina's assistant, she couldn't be more clear about Lina's bad mood lately. But, after being alone with the girl for a while, Lina's mood suddenly improved. Lina even called him to buy some small desserts to share with the group.

Xu Jiaojiao was completely different! Sudan thought in silence.

As the snacks they ordered arrived, the contestants were still thinking about Lina's sudden change in mood.

“You all work hard. Come and eat first. " Lina clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention.

“Waa, Miss Lina, I love you so much!”

Lina smiled and received the dessert she personally chose from her assistant before walking towards him and handing it to Sheng Jiaoyang.

“You haven't changed, have you?”

Sheng Jiaoyang knew what Lina meant. She asked if her food preferences were the same even though she swapped bodies. He smiled as he received the dessert. "Blueberry cheesecakes?"

Lina's eyes revealed her smile.

Semati friends who arrive - suddenly reunited sharing views, smiling in a tacit sense.

Others watched so shocked that they forgot to chew. They're all very confused. Why did Lina suddenly treat Xu Jiaojiao so well? Xu Jiaojiao couldn't possibly use magic, right?

Lina did not care about what others were thinking as she pulled Sheng Jiaoyang, her voice soft as she said, "Grandfather Yang's phone is dead. Ask for leave from the production team later and I will take you to the hospital.Kakek Yang used to always go to the hospital to accompany you. "

"In London?" Sheng Jiaoyang stopped just as he was about to open the dessert box.

“True, at Galledia Hospital, where your grandfather's old friend .”

“Oh.” Sheng Jiaoyang nodded as he poked a piece of cheese cake with his fork. “Ooh, it feels good.”

He was about to stab another piece when Lina's fork silently stole it, sending it to his mouth as he smiled mischievously at Sheng Jiaoyang.

Those who had been watching the two the entire time were shocked as if they were struck by lightning.

Even if you add the time when they met at the last training meeting, they haven't even known each other for more than 24 hours. Why do they seem closer than conjoined twins?

“Both have no such relationship, right?” The tone of Yin Meiling's voice was strange.

Luo Yi glanced at him. “Did you forget that Lina has a boyfriend?”

“Didn't they break up? After all, many bisexual people these days, ”reply Yin Meiling.

“You think Jiaojiao and Lina like each other?” Wang Wei looked at Yin Meiling in disbelief.

"Wang Wei, don't be so noisy!" Pu Mingyu reminded him.

Sheng Jiaoyang turned to look at them. “We've heard everything.”

"Lina, we didn't mean to gossip about the two of you behind your back, but we were just curious about how your relationship and Jiaojiao's suddenly became so good," Luo Yi hurriedly explained to Lina.

We have known each other for a long time over the internet. Sheng Jiaoyang wrapped his arms around Lina's shoulder. “True, Mei Niu?”

Lina nodded with a smile.

The others suddenly understood, thinking inwardly: Xu Jiaojiao is really lucky. An internet friend he made turned out to be a big celebrity!

Luo Yi glanced at Sheng Jiaoyang, his expression complicated. So, it was actually like that. No wonder Lina was acting so strange when she heard Xu Jiaojiao calling out to her. If it wasn't for something happening in Lina's family, the two of them would probably recognize each other.

"Jiaojiao, the two of you have a considerable age difference, and the environment you live in is also very different. Wouldn't there be a generation gap when you guys chatted?" Wang Wei asked curiously.

Everyone listened carefully. From how the two of them had eaten before, it was clear that the two were interacting equally, not Xu Jiaojiao serving Lina. However, it is rare for an internet friend to break through a 2D wall and interact intimately when they first meet.

“No one understands me more than Jiaojiao,” the one who answered, of course, Lina.

An indescribable oppressive feeling filled the room…

Everyone quietly turned their heads to do their own business, not wanting to feel depressed a second time.

After finishing the cake, Sheng Jiaoyang went to meet Yu Jing to ask for a leave of absence.

Yu Jing's first reaction, of course, was rejection. How could they allow the contestants they brought to another country to spend the night elsewhere? What if something happens?

Lina stepped in when she saw that things were not going well. With his guarantee, Yu Jing no longer protested and agreed.

Lina did not let her assistant follow and personally delivered Sheng Jiaoyang to the hospital.

But, when they finally arrived at the hospital, they were told that 'Sheng Jiaoyang' had already been moved two days ago.

"Why didn't Grandpa tell me?" Lina was frustrated.

Sheng Jiaoyang frowned slightly. “Could something have happened?”

“I don't know; I'll ask someone to ask later. You don't have to worry. The last time I saw Grandpa Yang, even though he was depressed, his body was still fine. He even said that he would continue to survive and was very confident that you would wake up. ”

Sheng Jiaoyang understood Lina, and Lina also understood Sheng Jiaoyang. Seeing her looking unwell, Lina reached out and pulled her into the parking lot. "Let's eat!"

They drove along the road, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at a French restaurant.

The two entered after parking the car and chose a two-person table in the corner.

While they were waiting to eat, Lina asked Sheng Jiaoyang about everything that happened after he became Xu Jiaojiao. Lina listened to the description of the old and tattered apartment she was living in at first, laughing at some parts and feeling depressed at other parts.

When Sheng Jiaoyang found out how he had first made money by selling pictures, Lina was stunned.

"Damn it, how bad is your luck to meet Demon King Shen just by selling pictures! But luck also met him. If not, who knows how many pictures you have to sell to get that much ! " The way he said 'Demon King Shen' naturally came from Sheng Jiaoyang.

"Even before I move! it would be hard to see him even once a year. However, in this short half a month, I've met him quite often." Sheng Jiaoyang shook three fingers at Lina out of frustration.

Lina smiled. He looked at Sheng Jiaoyang's unfamiliar face and was slightly sidetracked as an indescribable feeling struck him. He refocused and asked, "Then, what are you planning?"

"What can I plan? I'm just going to go step by step. Mei Niu, remember to help keep an eye on Grandpa for me."

"good. I will do it even if you don't say it, " replied Lina while nodding.

Sheng Jiaoyang was just about to speak when he suddenly saw two people walking towards them. He leaned towards Lina and whispered, "Don't look back."

"What?" Lina looked at him, confused.

“Honey, what do you want to eat?” a soft voice asked in English.

Lina heard the voice coming from the table behind them and thought of Sheng Jiaoyang's warning. He was just about to turn around and look when he heard the voice of a man.

“I'll like whatever you like.”

Now Lina knew why Sheng Jiaoyang told her not to turn around. That voice was one that he was too familiar with.

“How about we move to another restaurant?” Sheng Jiaoyang asked.

“Why change restaurants?” Lina's lips formed a cold smile as she walked towards the table with a glass of wine in hand.

“George, what a coincidence.” Lina stood straight, looking at the man who was not at all surprised to see her. His hand had just clenched when it was suddenly grasped. He turned his head to smile at Sheng Jiaoyang, showing that he was fine.

Sheng Jiaoyang held tightly onto Lina's hand, providing a voiceless support.

“Honey, is he your friend?” the blue-eyed blonde woman sitting across from George asked.

" then" replied the man.

Sheng Jiaoyang narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at the man who clearly intended to ignore him. She once joked with him about not dating Mei Niu and destroying their partner's world, yet this was only half a year and he was already unfaithful to Mei Niu?

“George, are you not going to introduce this woman in front of us?” Lina raised her chin, her voice cold.

“Oh!” George did not look at Lina. "It's Judy's name, and I'm seducing her."

"It's so good!" Lina smiled. He nodded and raised the wine glass in his hand. “George, we still haven't finished our farewell. Come, toast. After this, all the bridges will be burned and each will return to its own path. "

Judy looked at them in surprise.

George was silent for a few seconds before saying, "There's nothing to praise."

A toast? To celebrate their farewell?

Sheng Jiaoyang was at the end of his patience. He took the wine glass from Lina's hand and splashed the wine onto George.

"Yes God! How can you treat George like that ?! ” Judy immediately jumps to wipe George's face with a tissue.

“Mei Niu, we're leaving!” Sheng Jiaoyang picked up Lina's bag and dragged her out the door.

George gently pushed the woman's hand and took out his own tissue to wipe the wine off his face, ignoring the wet part in his expensive shirt. As he wiped himself dry, he suddenly laughed out loud.

“George, are you okay?” Judy thought that her sudden laughter was due to anger after being doused with wine on her.

At this moment, the maid entered with a tray and was surprised to see that there was no one left at the table that she was supposed to serve.

"Put that table note under my name" George told the waiter.

"Yes sir. Then, may I ask if you need these two steaks? ”

"No, take them away." George waved his hand.

The waiter nodded and brought the tray back to the kitchen.

George looked at the woman sitting opposite him and said, "You can order whatever you want, I'll pay the bill. I'm sorry, but I can't stay tonight. "

After saying that, he got up and left without waiting for the woman's answer.

“George, how can you leave me here alone? That's too rude! " Judy, who had been abandoned, was furious.

However, he got no answer except for the music playing in the restaurant.
