Chapter 49 - Noticing Jiang Shuyao's gaze, he slowly gave her a wry smile (1)
Jiang Shuyao's heart felt heavy when she saw that Yue Xia was standing there without any reaction.
She knew that Yue Xia had plenty of money, so she wasn't lacking in people to design clothing for her. Yue Xia didn't seem concerned about the online rumors and gossip either, but she felt angry on her behalf when she saw those harsh remarks.
What right did those people have to comment on Yue Xia? She was the involved party, and she didn't say anything about Yue Xia. Those people had never met Yue Xia. How dare they scold her!
Jiang Shuyao simmered in anger all night. The next day, she woke up with messy hair and felt that her anger still remained.
Normally, no matter how angry she was, that feeling would have disappeared by the next morning. But now, she was still vexed, especially when she saw the popularity of Zhuang Xiaohan's post. She frowned.
What.
She looked at the dress that was being praised to the sky. For the first time, she quietly, but impolitely disdained someone behind her back. "W-What's that? It's nothing special."
She even felt that she could design a better dress.
Driven by this unfamiliar feeling of anger, Jiang Shuyao came back with a pile of fabric and an empty bank account. She almost couldn't quite believe her own actions.
And now, Yue Xia…
Just when she was beginning to feel uneasy and wondering if she was being too meddlesome, she suddenly heard a loud sound like the roaring of tigers and the howling of monkeys. She was taken aback.
Before she could recover from her surprise, she saw a blur as Yue Xia flew over at the speed of a 100-meter sprint while carefully avoiding the tools on her desk.
Yue Xia pressed Shuyao's head to her chest and tightly hugged her. Yue Xia exclaimed, "Shuyao, you're so amazing!"
She felt her forehead pressed against Yue Xia's warm and soft body. She could smell a faint fragrance. She was caught off guard by the hug and was as stunned as a goose.
Yue Xia was still showing off the system: [Did you see?! Did you see?! Shuyao made a dress for me. Shi Qingyin doesn't have one!]
The system crashed again: [...] It would be weird if she made Shi Qingyin a dress!
It flipped through the original book in five seconds and didn't find any plot about the white moonlight participating in a dress design competition.
Well, actually that made sense. The white moonlight didn't fracture the male protagonist's ribs with a slap in the original novel either. Thinking of it that way, it felt relieved.
It could only make do with the current situation. What else could it do?
It was the first time someone had so clearly praised her. Once Jiang Shuyao came out of her daze, she blushed. "I-I just wanted to give it a try. I don't know if you like it…"
Yue Xia eagerly interrupted, "I like it! I like it! Of course I like it!"
Yue Xia was really touched. [Even if she altered a sack instead of a dress, I would be happy to wear it.]
This was Jiang Shuyao's first time altering something, how precious! What a surprise!
The system incisively remarked: [What you usually wear isn't that much better than a sack.]
Yue Xia: [...] System, landing a killing blow without mercy.
Even a layman would be able to see that Jiang Shuyao's design was good. However, with Yue Xia's extremely limited fashion vocabulary, she couldn't do a good job praising it. She could only circle around the dress while heaping praise.
"Look at these colors! Wonderful!"
"Look at the pattern! Awesome!"
"Look at the tailoring! Couldn't be better!"
With every additional praise, Jiang Shuyao's face turned slightly redder. By the end, her face was almost the color of a tomato. "You don't have to say all that. It's very ordinary…"
It was rare for someone to so generously praise her. She didn't even know where to put her hands.
"Stop, you're not allowed to say that." Yue Xia domineeringly turned around. "You can't stop me from praising you."
Jiang Shuyao obediently shut her mouth, but her eyes sparkled.
Was… her dress really that good? Was Yue Xia really that satisfied?
As a person that kept a regular sleeping schedule for many years, it was really hard for her to go against her biological clock. It was her first time staying up all night. Around 2 or 3 AM, she was so sleepy that her chin almost hit the table. Even so, she persisted in staying awake.
She had been on the verge of falling asleep when Yue Xia knocked on her door, but she still held an inexplicable expectation. She wanted to show Yue Xia the dress.
"Shuyao," Yue Xia placed the dress down, turned to look at her, and frowned. "How long have you been working on this?"
"N-not long." Jiang Shuyao pursed her lips and tried to skirt around her question. "Sewing on the gauze layer was a bit complicated and took a bit more time."
Yue Xia: "How long is a bit more time?"
Jiang Shuyao looked away. "Just, umm, six or seven hours?"
Yue Xia: "..." What had she, Yue Xia, done to be worthy of being so favored by the little white moonlight?
Sigh. "You didn't have to rush to complete this…" Yue Xia swiftly moved the stack of stuff off Shuyao's bed. "Go to sleep. It's almost noon."
Jiang Shuyao shook her head. "I'm not sleepy."
"You're not?" Yue Xia ruthlessly exposed her lie. "Touch your chin. Do you feel anything?"
Jiang Shuyao really went to check her chin. She ignorantly asked, "Nothing? Air?"
Yue Xia: "The black circles under your eyes are about to fall."
Jiang Shuyao: "!" She ran to the mirror in embarrassment and saw that Yue Xia wasn't exaggerating. She stood next to Yue Xia while she made her bed for her and put the pillow in its original place.
She quietly said, "I just want to see you try it on first… then I'll go right to bed. Okay?"
Yue Xia was about to say no way, go to bed, but then she lowered her head and saw Shuyao looking at her beseechingly with her big eyes.
Yue Xia: "."
