[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch84 - Nevertheless, My Boyfriend

One of them couldn't help but say, "May I ask why Shi Qi was the only one of us five to make it? From what I know, he debuted the latest. He's only been working for three months. You also said that he lacks experience and made a big mistake on the runway. Why did he make it while we four were eliminated?"

Song Xuanhe glanced at Shi Qi when he heard this. Upon seeing his nervous expression, he asked, "Why do you think you rose above the rest?"

Shi Qi was startled. He licked his lips nervously. "I like these clothes. I like every single detail of them while wearing them. I-I think maybe that's the reason why...."

Song Xuanhe smiled. He then looked at the model who had questioned him. "Shi Qi lacks experience, but he understands and likes the clothes he wears. On the runway, your priority is to showcase the clothes on your body. But, you guys don't even understand the clothes you have to show off. How can you get the people in the audience to like the clothes? Of course, that's not the reason why I chose him though."

"Then why?" Shi Qi widened his eyes, anticipating the answer.

Song Xuanhe glanced at him. He was about to answer when he changed his words. "The result has already been decided. Everyone can leave."

The other people who had been furious upon hearing Song Xuanhe say that they didn't understand clothes calmed down. When they heard this, they turned to leave without any more questions.

When they reached the door, one person said, "He thinks that he's famous and actually dares to snub us? There are so many new designers making their debut at Fashion Week every year, and only one makes a splash every few years. And, it's September's Fashion Week to boot. I can just tell that he's probably going to fail based on his eye for talent. It's too bad. Feng laoshi will probably be dragged down by him."

The person who had been speaking hadn't quieted his voice. The door hadn't yet closed either, so Song Xuanhe had heard every single word.

When Shi Qi had heard these words, he looked at Song Xuanhe helplessly as if wanting to see if the other was angry.

Upon noticing Shi Qi's gaze, Song Xuanhe turned towards him and ended up meeting his eyes. Shi Qi immediately took a step back, startled. His face flushed all the way to his ears. He didn't dare say a thing.

Song Xuanhe frowned. He looked the other up and down.

Perhaps it was because his gaze was too obvious, but Shi Qi's face slowly returned to normal. He then started to pale as Song Xuanhe's eyebrows knitted tighter and tighter.

"What are you thinking about?"

Song Xuanhe hadn't interacted with adolescent boys in a long time. He really didn't know what this seventeen-year-old was thinking about. He also started wondering if it had really been that long since he had graduated. Maybe that was why he couldn't remember whether or not the seventeen-year-olds he had known were this easily startled or were so quick to blush.

"I...I wanted to ask you..." Shi Qi met Song Xuanhe's gaze nervously, his gaze shifting around before settling on the other. He pursed his lips and finally blurted out, "Why did you choose me?"

Song Xuanhe looked at his expression. "Because of your current expression."

When he had heard this, Shi Qi went "ah," dazed.

Song Xuanhe pulled the door open and said in a flat voice, "You don't have to wait until the audition on the fifteenth. Come here tomorrow for training. You need work on your walking, bearing, and expressions. Didn't you feel like proving them wrong when you had heard them say my eye for people was bad? As long as you can meet my demands, you'll make them swallow their words when your reputation explodes in four months."
