So, the four of us went to the mall together. My aunt bought some daily necessities and then took us to browse through clothing stores, picking out several outfits for me to try on. I changed into a light pink long dress, which hugged my waist perfectly. The slightly low neckline revealed my long, graceful neck, as white and smooth as a swan's, along with skin as flawless as snow. My aunt turned to Shen Yulin and asked, "Yulin, do you think Xiao Fan looks good in this dress?"
"Very beautiful," Shen Yulin said, looking at me. There was an unknown sparkle in her cool gaze that struck me like a jolt of electricity, making my heart race. I quickly turned and went back to the fitting room to change back into my own clothes.
When I came out after changing, my aunt had already paid. The staff were neatly folding the clothes and putting them into bags. Uncle and Shen Yulin took the bags and followed us out of the clothing store.
"Sister-in-law, how about we go to Twilight for some tea?" "Sure! You little rascal, it's been so long since you opened your high-end line and yet you haven't even customized a set for your sister-in-law," my aunt said, pretending to be angry as she placed her hands on her hips while looking at Shen Yulin. "Sister-in-law, you don't know how difficult this designer can be." "Alright, alright, enough of that. Let's go take a look."
"Twilight is your shop?" I asked in surprise as I looked at Shen Yulin. "Yes." We entered Twilight, and the store looked just like it did when I visited last time. Kris warmly welcomed us, saying, "Miss Yue, it's nice to see you again." Kris linked her arm with mine and continued, "The day before yesterday, I stayed up all night designing a piece inspired by you. Since you're here today, please try it on!" "Inspired by me?" I exclaimed in surprise while looking at Kris. "That's great! Xiao Fan, you should try it on so that your aunt can see the skills of the difficult designer that Yulin mentioned."
Upon hearing this, Kris's expression darkened as she looked displeased at Shen Yulin. "President, are you questioning my design?" Shen Yulin gave her a faint glance but did not respond. Sensing the tension in the air, I quickly said, "Kris, I would like some tea." Sure enough, Kris's attention was diverted by my words as she cheerfully replied that it was no problem.
We sat down at the tea table. "Xiao Fan, how do you find the environment here?" my aunt asked with a smile. "It's great; very comfortable," I replied while looking around and noticing that there were no other customers in the shop. "Kid, your shop doesn't seem very busy," Uncle joked. "Shen Yulin explained, "This place mainly does high-end custom work and only accepts appointments." "Oh, I see," Uncle nodded.
I went into a room with Kris to try on clothes while my aunt and the others chatted and enjoyed their tea outside. Occasionally, Shen Yulin would chime in with a few words; the atmosphere was pleasant. The piece that Kris designed this time was a stunning red long dress with a flowing skirt that seemed to dance like flames. It was paired with a crown adorned with pearls and red high heels embroidered with gold thread. I felt somewhat out of place wearing such bright colors for the first time; however, Kris was very pleased and took photos from every angle. I felt embarrassed but was relieved when she let me change out of it after taking pictures. This dress was similar to the previous outfit; I packed it up to take home.
Before I knew it, an entire afternoon had passed.
"It's getting late; let's head back," my aunt said as she checked her watch. "Okay, Sister-in-law," Shen Yulin replied as she stood up to settle the bill. "Let's call it even this time; next time you can't be so polite," my aunt said with a smile. "Got it, Sister-in-law," Shen Yulin responded with a grin.
