Chapter 83：Hymn for the Weekend by Coldplay

The second day of new imaging was the challenge. The players rode to the huge studio, and the first person they noticed was not the gorgeous Miss Jeffrey, but the tall, firm, and handsome Gustav. Prior to this, they all knew that the producer of the show was Mr. Acheson, known as the fashion-circle king, but they never saw him appear in the studio.

But it seemed that because of Ariel and Hayden's scheme, the very sexy gentleman came to oversee the studio for two days in person.

"In order to prevent unfair competition in the show, from today on, Mr. Acheson will appear as the producer in the studio, so be extra ~careful~." Miss Jeffrey shook his finger from side to side, his expression playful.

Only MOT's main store had Emily's poster, the rest of the stores all had Romeo's poster, this was undoubtedly a slap in Ariel's face. Because of the shaving controversy yesterday, and Miss Jeffrey hosting today, if there was no editing, the audience would feel doubts and speculation about her sudden quit.

This was the desired effect from the program group. A new program was most afraid of suspicion, doubt, and complaints, but they weren't concerned about that. Since Ariel dared to make trouble in the show, Acheson wouldn't give her the slightest face. He let her go in a way the audience would see who to blame, and he'll reform the system so the competition becomes more transparent and unbiased, to make up for the damage caused by Ariel.

As for Hayden, for the sake of his huge fan base, Acheson wouldn't immediately kick him out. And that night, Hayden's parents provided a huge sum of money in sponsorship to the program team in order to let their son stay. In the end, Acheson was a businessman, he'll always put business interests first, so he had considered for a moment then agreed.

But Hayden's fans seemed to be moving away from him, and his number of net votes had dropped sharply, only his luck could determine how far he would go.

There've been players who were speculating that the reason for Ariel's withdrawal was because she helped Hayden cheat. In the night before the image change, after getting the hint letter, Hayden had said he'd always wanted to dye his hair and eyebrows deep gold, so he could be more fashionable and handsome. The result was after everyone's new hairstyle, theirs were completely different from their imaginations, except for Hayden, who got his wish.

Although this may just be a coincidence, it was more likely that Hayden had bribed Ariel and the stylists. The players were still very affectionate with Hayden, but in secret, they gathered together to curse him. This hypocrisy made Zhou Yun Sheng and Ivana more disinclined to mix with them.

After listening to Miss Jeffrey, the players applauded, and several of the female players blushed.

Gustav was 193 cm tall and built strong. His face was masculine and handsome, and he had a gentle and humble temperament that made people want to get closer to him. He was wearing a tight black T-shirt, the thin cloth outlining his muscles, his smooth and graceful lines were cause for envy. His two long legs were wrapped in acid-washed jeans, exuding sexiness.

The male players who liked to boast about their figures looked down at his mermaid line and abdominal muscles and turned red with embarrassment. They were simply little boys when compared to Gustav, who was emitting strong manly hormones.

Zhou Yun Sheng suspected that Gustav was his lover, but he couldn't be too sure, men who were 190 cm and up were common goods in A Country. Plus, he was currently a contestant, he couldn't get too close to Gustav if he wanted to complete Romeo's wish, it would cause the other players and spectators to question the fairness of the game.

So, he could only wait until after the game to find his love. Thinking of this, Zhou Yun Sheng felt a bit sad, he sighed unhappily and stared down at his toes.

When Romeo's big blue eyes had stared unblinking at him, Gustav had felt his whole body heating up. He'd enjoyed his slightly appreciating and admiring look, so he'd unconsciously straightened his back to highlight his robust stature and sexiness.

But the teenager soon bowed his head in a listless sigh. Presumably, Hayden occupied his heart, so even if he saw a better man, he wouldn't look at him.

Gustav frowned, his mood suddenly irritated. He gave Jeffery a look and motioned him to begin today's challenge.

In order to make the rookies into adequate models, Jeffrey developed a series of exercises and arranged corresponding challenges according to the training content.

The contestants had just finished physical training, so today's challenge was to imitate with their body language. The players will draw a card from a sealed box, and imitate the animal on the card. It was necessary to look similar to the animal, but also have a model's fashionable temperament.

This challenge was hard to judge, it was both simple yet not simple. If you keep up your perfect image but couldn't make the judges recognize the animal you were imitating, you'd fail the challenge. If you imitate the animal, but lose a model's sense of fashion, the challenge will also be considered a failure.

So, the key point is to imitate the animal, but also imitate its beauty. The card you picked was a big deal. If you got a gorilla, and had to bend over and grunt and beat your chest, your chances of winning would be unfairly slim.

Fortunately, the program group wasn't that sadistic, all the cards were for beautiful animals.

Ivana was a snake. Her body was very soft, she laid on the ground and did a few hovering and curling movements and won Miss Jeffrey and the guest judge's praise. They almost instantly recognized Ivana's imitation. Hayden was a lion, he valiantly strode forward, shook his golden hair, and roared like a lion.

"You can't make a sound when you imitate, you can only use body movements. Have you ever seen a model yelling on the runway?" Gustav, who was quietly standing on the sidelines observing, suddenly opened, his tone was very stern.

Hayden's face paled, but he didn't dare show impatience or anger like he did with the past staff. He couldn't afford to offend Gustav, heck, his parents and the entire Brown family together wouldn't dare provoke Gustav. Not to mention, he had a past bad behavior record.

"Oh, no! We were negligent! We should've explained this to them earlier." Miss Jeffrey and the guest judge quickly stood up to remedy the situation. They made it clear that the next contestants couldn't make animal noises because it was cheating, then they let Hayden pick another card.

Hayden pointed the card toward the camera to verify it, then he crumpled it up and threw it away angrily. His true arrogant nature was beginning to slip out.

Emily was a swan. She used to be a dancer in a bar, so her dance skills were very good. She tiptoed and jumped like a beautiful swan on a lake, and won the applause of all the players and the judges' high praise. When she withdrew from the stage, she glanced at Gustav with ambitious eyes.

Gentle and humble Gustav was better than the arrogant Hayden any day of the week, and the two families couldn't be compared. Gustav would personally oversee every photo shoot from now on, she had plenty of opportunities to attract the man's attention.

Thinking of this, Emily gave a proud smile.

Zhou Yun Sheng held the card to the camera for verification. Folded-ear cat, what the hell? Don't you think it's funny to mix that into a bunch of cheetahs, lions, pythons and swans? The feeling is completely different!

He stared at the card and made an incredulous expression. The cameraman who was responsible for shooting him almost couldn't hold in his laughter. He wanted to tell the young man that he didn't need to imitate, he just needed to maintain his usual appearance and he'd be an outright kitten.

Zhou Yun Sheng washed his hands and repeatedly scrubbed them clean, then he slowly boarded the stage.

The bored Gustav immediately straightened his back and stared at the stage. Did Kitten pick the card I put in? How will he act? It had been a long time since Gustav had experienced such fervent anticipation.

In order to facilitate the players' movements, the middle of the stage was covered with a round wool carpet. Zhou Yun Sheng sat down on his legs, raised his left hand and stretched out his pink tongue, licking his milk colored white hands inch-by-inch. He used his licked fingertips to comb his hair, smoothing his messy curls. He slipped down to the ground, arched his back and stretched his waist. His lips opened in a slight yawn, revealing his two sharp little tiger teeth.

He attached himself to the woolen carpet, curled up his body, and let out a small yawn once again, then he closed his already drowsy, wet blue eyes.

At this moment, he was a lazy cat, preparing to sleep on the expensive carpet his owner had bought for him. He buried his hairy head in his arms and his eyes gently softened, the image was too lovely.

Both the players and the judges stared.

Gustav picked up his cell phone, aimed it at the teenager on the stage, then hurried toward the door with a serious expression. He walked to a secluded corner, stopped, and pressed down his frantic heartbeat, his face flushed with excitement.

Oh, my God! Why is there such a lovely child in the world! He is ten thousand times cuter than Rooney (Gustav's pet cat)! He actually picked the card I put in, this is wonderful fate!

Gustav pounded the walls a few times, and squeezed his rapidly exploding heart back into its original shape.

He even has two small tiger teeth, this is unfair! I really want to run up and hold him in my arms and kiss him, then caress his gums. He would stretch out his tongue to lick my fingertips, or better yet, nip me with his teeth a little, aaaahhh too cute!

Gustav fantasized as he walked back to the studio, then resumed his usual gentle and elegant appearance.

The judges were announcing the outcome of the challenge.

"We agreed that the winner of this game is Romeo. He mimicked a cat so vividly that I couldn't help but want to take him home. Child, you must've been possessed by a folded ear cat, right?" Jeffrey quipped as he opened his arms out for a hug.

When this episode broadcasts, the audience will clamor to become the boy's fans, especially the cat people.

Romeo smiled shyly and walked up to hug him. The cameraman zoomed in on his slightly red cheeks and bright blue eyes.

Gustav cleverly and timely inserted himself into the hugging session, pulling the half a head shorter boy into his arms, unwilling to let go for half-a-day.
