CHAPTER 104: CHAPTER 104: WHY DON’T YOU GO LECTURE YOUR LITTLE SISTER INSTEAD

The first show Su Lingzhi attended at the Paris Fashion Show was the Lyrae Spring/Summer menswear collection.

She followed Rika to the backstage.

The atmosphere was thick with masculine energy, and she had to admit, some of the designers in the menswear department had rather bold styles.

But Su Lingzhi was not surprised.

Having participated in various competitions before, she had seen even more daring shows than these.

Shyness and hesitation were not her style while watching shows.

This menswear series was the usual minimalist and free style of Lyrae, primarily consisting of pure aesthetic in black and white, with exquisite fabrics that weren’t lacking in a sense of luxury.

Perhaps out of respect for Rika’s brilliance, all the models turned their gaze towards them.

The backstage was bustling, and with Rika inspecting the backstage, the most nervous person was undoubtedly their design director, as he had overseen the entire show. Whether the audience liked it or whether the boss was satisfied, the pressure was certainly immense.

In fact, the history of Lyrae women’s wear was longer than men’s, so its fame rested on women’s wear, making the men’s side slightly weaker. This was why Rika was so eager to have a famous supermodel to support this show. James was both a supermodel and a jewelry director, the best choice.

While Rika was talking to the design director about the details of the show, James saw Su Lingzhi and walked over to her with a smile.

He wore a light and thin blazer, with an inner lining collar that practically plunged to his waist, revealing his unique, charming masculine allure.

Su Lingzhi shook his hand politely and smiled, "Long time no see."

"I thought you wouldn’t come."

"I don’t lightly break promises I’ve made."

"I’m glad to see you today." James’ smile was still bright and charming, his eyes as bright as stars in the night sky, giving off a very refreshing and healing energy.

While exchanging pleasantries, Rika looked at the two of them and admiringly commented, "The two of you standing together, no matter how you look at it, you seem to be a great match."

Perhaps because foreign aesthetics were different from hers, she didn’t think she and James looked particularly well-matched in appearance.

Besides, she already had a boyfriend, so being teased like this was somewhat inappropriate, causing some embarrassment.

James diffused the awkwardness with a laugh, "It’s mainly because Lindie has such a great aura. Back then, I even wanted to invite her as our brand ambassador, but unfortunately, we didn’t have that fate."

Rika was unaware of this, but she didn’t investigate further and asked him, "Have you found a suitable ambassador now?"

James nodded, "I’ve already chosen, it’s the model Lindie recommended to me."

Rika looked at Su Lingzhi and speculated, asking, "Could it be your friend with the surname Chu?"

Su Lingzhi nodded.

In truth, they weren’t exactly good friends, it was just a bond formed through a show, and their interactions weren’t frequent.

Nonetheless, when her vision recovered, she noticed Chu Qingxuan’s concern for her.

It was said that she had stood out at that fashion show and became a much-followed model, but she didn’t know how she was doing now.

James praised, "She is a very hardworking and ambitious model, which is one aspect I really admire about her."

Su Lingzhi smiled; managing to facilitate this cooperation was probably destiny.

In her impression, Chu Qingxuan was cool externally but quite innocent at heart.

Due to the heavy workload backstage, Rika did not disturb their work any longer and took Su Lingzhi to wait at the show.

The design of the overall runway was traditional, and with the ambience set by music and lighting, as soon as a model stepped onto the runway, a high-class detached aura swept through.

One model after another walked onto the runway.

Throughout the process, Su Lingzhi was impressed by a set of dark-toned fabric, and the male model’s presence on the runway perfectly showcased the smooth, flowing feel of the black ribbon.

The show lasted about twenty minutes, ending with a collective finale.

James walked over with the other models, and Su Lingzhi met his gaze, then discreetly shifted her eyes away from him.

As he passed by, James took her by surprise and forcibly pulled her onto the runway.

Su Lingzhi looked at him in astonishment, mechanically following him onto the runway.

The scene erupted into cheers instantly.

This was a livestream, and not wanting any conflict, Su Lingzhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk through the route with him.

The supermodels followed from behind, and she seemed like a small princess being admired by a group of high-class bodyguards, walking under the spotlight.

The Lyrae livestream room exploded immediately, the heat rising to the top of the charts, sparking continuous debate.

After stepping off the stage, Su Lingzhi hurriedly pulled her hand back, reproaching, "You shouldn’t have pulled me on stage. Your behavior just now was too impulsive, and you didn’t ask for my consent beforehand. Moreover, this is the Lyrae livestream show; it would make our relationship awkward."

Last time, just because of a random photo, she was placed in the CP controversy. Now during a live broadcast, no doubt the netizens would be making a fuss over nothing again.

If Lili saw this, she wouldn’t know how to explain it to him.

James, seemingly not having expected her displeasure, apologized, "I’m sorry, I thought you would enjoy the stage."

Su Lingzhi frowned, strangely unable to get angry at his face, "Don’t do this again."

"I promise."

Seeing his sincere admission, Su Lingzhi let it go.

But at that moment, some media had quietly brought their cameras over.

To avoid making a scene, Su Lingzhi had no choice but to leave first, not even having time to say goodbye to Rika.

However, upon stepping out, she noticed a laid-back man leaning against the white column, smoking alone.

Standing there alone, he looked a bit out of place in the empty doorway, making it hard not to notice him.

The man looked over, a slight smile appeared on his lips, "What, caught in an ambiguous situation with another man, starting to panic?"

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Su Lingzhi immediately remembered who he was.

This was the first time she had seen his appearance since regaining her sight.

Although not bad-looking, his demeanor of disregarding everyone else was quite irritating.

It seemed he was at the show just now, otherwise, he wouldn’t have said that.

Su Lingzhi explained, "I merely walked half a lap on the runway, don’t exaggerate."

"I’m exaggerating?" Shao Ming chuckled softly, "Walking the runway with all those male models, you seemed to enjoy it. With Fu Yinli’s temperament, do you think he’d be okay with it?"

His remarks stirred some chaos within Su Lingzhi, but she composed herself and said confidently, "I trust that Lili is an understanding person and wouldn’t be irrationally jealous."

Hearing her call "Lili," Shao Ming felt like goosebumps covered his skin instantly.

Just as he was about to sarcastically retort, she cut him off.

"Instead of talking about me here, why not go back and discipline your sister."

With that, Su Lingzhi dismissed him with a graceful turn of her heel.

Shao Ming was left speechless, unable to say a word in response.
