Chapter 62：Fashion model beauty

Li Weijie turned around and saw one of the models from earlier. It wasn't strange for her to call out her name since the judges had been introduced earlier. 

But the way she spoke seemed like they were familiar with each other. 

And her voice also sounded familiar, where had he heard it before?

With these questions in mind, Li Weijie carefully looked at the model's face. 

Being a model, she naturally had a tall and attractive figure. 

However, with the makeup on and a strange hairstyle done by one of the contestants, he couldn't immediately recognize who she was, but he had a sense of familiarity.

Seeing Li Weijie's dumbfounded look, the model couldn't help but laugh. 

"Hey, Li Weijie, am I so beautiful that it leaves you speechless? Don't tell me that now that you're successful, you've forgotten about us being comrades?"

He had only heard her call out once earlier, so Li Weijie was a bit doubtful, but now hearing her hearty laugh and natural banter, he suddenly realized who she was!

"Li Shi Han, it's you!" Li Weijie exclaimed with joy.

"Hehe, don't tell me that now that you're successful, you're pretending not to recognize me?" Li Shi Han pretended to be angry.

"How could that be? Hehe, we were such good partners." 

Li Weijie pulled her aside to catch up.

Li Shi Han was a professional model, not a supermodel, and she didn't have a powerful agency representing her, so most of the time she took up jobs as a hair model. 

Li Weijie, on the other hand, frequently participated in competitions. 

Over time, they both recognized each other's faces and became temporary partners whenever they were both in a competition. 

However, they only worked together temporarily during competitions and didn't stay in touch outside of that.

"It's been a while since we last saw each other. Didn't expect to meet you here." 

Li Weijie said awkwardly. 

After all, she was his most frequent partner, and now that he was a judge, he hadn't recognized her. It made him feel a certain way.

"Hehe, I was just joking. I know you were a bit nervous at first, and then you got serious. Normally, you didn't recognize me." 

Li Shi Han smiled and understood. 

"Is this your first time being a judge?"

Li Weijie nodded. "I'm here on behalf of our boss. I'm currently working at the Shijue Salon in City A." He handed her a business card. 

"Hehe, let's keep in touch more often. Maybe I'll have a chance to ask for your help."

Li Shi Han took the card without hesitation and smiled. "Sure, the host introduced it earlier. Shijue is the most famous salon in City A. It seems like an opportunity for me to work there. You're quite considerate."

"You're my best partner. Now that we don't have the chance to work together, but if there's an opportunity, you're the first person I think of. Since we've met, I won't miss the chance, so can I have your number?" Li Weijie asked eagerly.

Li Shi Han raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly. 

"Hey, not bad, you're making progress."

"What progress?" Li Weijie was puzzled.

"I've seen you many times before, and besides when we were competing, you always seemed reserved and shy. Hehe... now it's different, you're asking for a girl's number proactively! And you're doing it so formally and subtly." Li Shi Han covered her mouth and giggled.

Li Weijie couldn't help but laugh and said, "Comrade Li Shi Han, don't imagine that I have any ulterior motives, okay? I'm just saying, for such beautiful models like you, and me being a hairdresser, how could I dare to have any ulterior motives?"

"See, you've confessed!" Li Shi Han smirked. 

"I just said that you seem more courageous. You dare to ask a girl for her phone number, but you immediately think about ulterior motives. Hmm... in that case, I shouldn't give you my number."

"What?!" 

Li Weijie couldn't help but smile. 

Although he had a good understanding and pleasant cooperation with Li Shi Han, it was only during the competitions which lasted at most for a few days. 

They didn't keep in touch outside of that, so he wasn't sure if she was joking or not.

Li Shi Han quickly patted his shoulder and laughed, "Haha, now that you're a judge, you're still so cute! Of course, I was just joking. I didn't bring my phone with me, so I'll call you later." She extended her hand.

Her outfit was provided by the organizers and didn't have any pockets, so naturally, she didn't have anything with her.

"Okay."

"Hey, why did you start working at Shijue? Weren't you content living a leisurely life in the small town?" Li Shi Han asked with curiosity.

Even though they hadn't won any championships in the few times they worked together, Li Shi Han instinctively felt that this young man was full of talent. 

His enthusiasm for hairstyling and his dedication made her believe that he had more achievements and a bright future ahead of him. 

So when she heard that Li Weijie became a judge, she wasn't surprised, but rather surprised at his decision.

Li Weijie smiled and sighed. In front of the optimistic Li Shi Han, he didn't feel any melancholy. He said calmly, "I was motivated. My girlfriend was complaining that I didn't make enough money and wasn't focused on my work, so..."

"Hehe, so you were kicked out by your girlfriend to make money!" Li Shi Han couldn't help but shake her head and burst into laughter. 

"I thought you didn't want to bury your talent."

"It's not like that. She broke up with me, and I realized that I wanted to change." 

Li Weijie said lightly. Recently, he realized that he wasn't too sad anymore. He could face the breakup caused by money with a calm mindset.

"Oh, sorry." Li Shi Han stuck out her tongue and then softly comforted him, "Actually, you don't need to be sad. You're so talented, it's her loss for not appreciating you and leaving you..."

Li Weijie burst into laughter.

Confused by his laughter, Li Shi Han asked, "What's wrong? Are you... making fun of me?"

"Hahaha... no, no... I appreciate your comforting words. But..." 

Li Weijie struggled to hold back his laughter. 

"Your words of comfort are so cliché and what you'd expect to hear in a TV drama to comfort a heartbroken girl! It's quite... hahaha..."

Li Shi Han also couldn't help but laugh. She had instinctively used those words without much thought.

"How about I treat you to lunch? Hehe, we've worked together so many times, but we've never had a meal together." 

It was already lunchtime, so Li Weijie sincerely invited her.

"Wrong! It's not that we've never had a meal together, it's that you've never individually treated me to a meal." Li Shi Han wagged her index finger, correcting him while smiling.

Li Weijie recalled for a moment and realized that they had indeed eaten together, but it was always with other contestants and models.

"So today... hehe, do I have the honor to treat Miss Li Shi Han to a meal?" Li Weijie smiled.

"No!" 

Li Shi Han raised her eyebrows and declined with a smile.

Thinking she was joking, Li Weijie grabbed her arm and said, "Let's go!"

"Hey, I'm serious." 

Li Shi Han lowered her voice and said, "As a judge now, I have to have lunch with the other judges. It would be a waste not to have lunch together, and I also need to remove my makeup. We have a competition in the afternoon."

Li Weijie suddenly realized. 

The contestants took turns on stage, but the models were a group, and during lunchtime, they needed to remove their makeup, which was indeed quite tight. 

Looking at her cute expression of not eating for nothing, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then tonight!"
