Chapter 108 Remember to Dress up as a Man (2/2)
Long Xi said, “How can I forget? And… Here! Break a leg in your art exam! Good luck with everything!”
She stretched her hand back behind Yan Wangchuan and seemed to pull out a glass bottle filled with lucky stars right behind his head.
It took her a whole night and a whole morning to fold these lucky stars, and there was a sentence of blessing or inspiration on each star. And these sentences of inspiration were more commonly known as “Chicken Soup for the Soul”.
Yan Wangchuan’s eyes were a little wet and his hands trembled slightly as he took the bottle with lucky stars.
He said, “Thank you, Xiaolongnv! I will always keep our friendship in my mind!”
Yu Lanjie suddenly said, “Here come Xiaolu and Weiwei.”
Long Xi turned around and saw Xiaolu, who dressed as a medieval prince, and Weiwei, who dressed as Snow White, coming into the hall hand in hand.
Xiaolu’s temperament fitted quite well with his medieval European aristocratic costume. He even wore the golden wig of that era, looking even more like a prince!
Weiwei herself looked quite like a beautiful maid walking out from the cartoon. Now she dressed up as Snow White, with the princess crown on her head, wearing a white princess dress, and she looked exactly like the Snow White appeared in the movies. There was no wisp of a strange feeling when you looked at her in costume.
Surprisingly, Xiaolu recognized at first sight that the magician wearing a mask was Long Xi. He said, smiling, “Master Xi, why are you dressing as a man? See? The others are dressing up so beautifully!”
Long Xi said with an air of helplessness, “I have no alternative. You know that ‘aged vinegar jar’, ‘the great devil’, in my home, don’t you? He likes to be jealous so much! I’m afraid that if I dress up too beautifully, many boys will invite me to dance together. If he knows about it, then I will…”
Xiaolu said, smiling, “He didn’t come today, anyway. Why are you being so ‘cock-pecked’?”
Long Xi stuck her tongue out and said, “You don’t know his ‘power’! Though he is not here, he knows clearly what is happening here!”
At the thought of the “body punishment” from Mo Kun, Long Xi couldn’t help getting goosebumps all over.
Xiaolu asked, “Have you got the reply from the reality fashion show of French Storm Runway man’s clothing?”
Long Xi said with a little disappointment, “There’s no reply. I guess I am not selected?”
Xiaolu said, “Then why not phone them and ask about it?”
Long Xi said, “Forget it. If I am selected, they will make a long-distance call to inform me. I heard nothing about the fashion show after such a long period of time, so I should have already known the result.”
After Weiwei saw Long Xi, she was quite indifferent to Long Xi. Now she heard what Long Xi had said, she even cracked a smile of schadenfreude.
Long Xi was talking with Xiaolu, so the two were not aware of the biting smile on Weiwei’s face. However, as Yan Wangchuan, the one who was always circumspective and careful and paying attention to details, was standing beside and observing, he noticed the expression on Weiwei’s face.
Xiaolu was a little anxious, saying, “It is true that the eunuch is anxious while the emperor is not! Give me the phone number! I will call them for you!”
Long Xi knew that he did it out of his warm-heartedness, so she told him the phone number. Xiaolu walked to the door of the auditorium at once and made a long-distance call to the headquarters of the reality fashion show of French Storm Runway man’s clothing.
After Xiaolu hung up and heard what they said on the other end, he knitted his brows tightly and seemed to be considering something.
Suddenly, a girl with blonde hair came over and greeted him with enthusiasm.
Xiaolu took a closer look and recognized her, Hua Yanyan.
She wore a small red hooded velvet cloak and a piece of strapless tight clothing, which looked like a dress of the medieval European maidservant without the skirt, thus making it look more like a one-piece swimsuit. A pair of black filar translucent tights with grids clung on to her long legs.
She wore a purple-black lipstick with smoky eyes.
Xiaolu, who was famous for his frankness, said immediately, “Why are you dressing up like this?”
Hua Yanyan swayed her body and said with a smile, “Don’t you think I am extremely gorgeous and sexy? Just now there was a boy complimenting me on my dressing!”
Xiaolu said straightforwardly as he had a nature of outspokenness, “It looks quite dreadful actually. It seems like… the scary adult version of Little Red Riding Hood?”
Hua Yanyan smiled softly and said, “Come on! Xiaolu, do you have a dance partner? May I be your dance partner?”
She had always been thirsty for such a handsome and rich boy like Xiaolu. But she was quite vexed that she had no chance to get close to him in daily time.
Before Xiaolu could give an answer, Weiwei had walked over, taking his arm, and said with one-hundred-percent certainty, “He has had a dance partner, and he has had a girlfriend already! It’s me, Wei Wei!”
Hua Yanyan was not a gentlewoman at all. She retorted fiercely, “Huh? Showing off? Who are you! Aren’t you a loose woman? Do you really believe that I know nothing about your disgusting stories?”
“What, what are you talking about!” Weiwei’s whole body was shivering. What Hua Yanyan said punched her on the most painful place of her heart.
With a strong chivalrous sense of justice and the belief that one should help the weak against the brutal, Xiaolu said immediately to Hua Yanyan, “Hua Yanyan, if you have no solid evidence, please do not gossip about the nonsense!”
