C23 (1/2)
Eat it yourself. Yesterday, I nearly died from exhaustion trying to find you.
After a long while, Mo Shu finally said while gnashing her teeth: ”I'm driving, how do you want me to eat?”
”Right, alright then.”
Lu Xiaoan took the bag of bread from him, opened it up and took a piece of bread before she stuffed it into his mouth. Then, she stuffed it back into her seat.
He mumbled to himself, ”I'm done eating. Remember to ask me to get it for you. I can't take it anymore. I really need to sleep for a while.”
At that moment, Mo Shu suddenly felt that it was a grave mistake to recognize her. When she looked back and was about to fall asleep, she suddenly braked and stopped the car! Lu Xiaoan was so frightened that she immediately jumped up from the chair, her head knocked onto the roof of the car, and with a cry of pain, she sat back down.
Mo Shu stopped the car, slowly took the bread bag from her body, and gracefully ate it.
”In any case, I'm not in a hurry. I'll go down the mountain after I've eaten my fill.”
Lu Xiaoan stared at Mo Shu who was so arrogant that she would rather die, she wanted to tear him apart and eat him alive! However, thinking that there were only three days left, and she still had a quest to complete, she could only restrain her urge to curse and smile.
”Mo Shu, aren't you the best man in Italy? ”My lord, please forgive me. I was too sleepy just now. Please forgive me.”
Mo Shu had finally caught her tail, and was unwilling to give in at all. Not only was she not fooled by her sugar-coated artillery shell, she had even added fuel to the fire.
”Then you must promise to cook for me for a week.”
Lu Xiaoan lowered her head and muttered to herself, ”You speak as if you don't usually eat the food I cook, and I don't know who you are, but if you have nothing else to do, you would just come to my house to eat. You obviously have a chef at home, but you actually dare to speak so boldly and righteously while squeezing from such a hardworking class like me.”
”I'm sleepy. Why don't we sleep for a bit and feel like going down the mountain?”
Lu Xiaoan realized that he had heard her words, and quickly begged for mercy, ”Alright, alright, alright, I'll cook for you! Just order whatever you want! ”However, I can't afford something too expensive. You have to bring your own ingredients …”
”Deal!”
The little fox finally lowered his head to look at him, and he felt an inexplicable sense of happiness. Although the climb this time wasn't particularly smooth, it still felt pretty good.
Once she was back in the city, Lu Xiaoan quickly asked Mo Shu and his friends to confirm Xiao Wu's situation, then quickly contacted the embroidery experts.
Although there were many famous fashion designers in Italy, they were, after all, overseas. Embroidery was already quite rare in the traditional sense. The embroidery that he was looking for was basically something that could only be accomplished with Chinese traditional techniques.
Lu Xiaoan tried to contact a few designers, but to no avail. Looking at the neat rows of golden silk inside the box, she was left with no solution.
”Xiao An? Why haven't you come home yet? I'm not here. Are you working overtime for yourself? ”
Lu Xiaoan raised her head and suddenly saw Ai Mi opening the door and walking in. Since the first day of recruitment, she had never seen Ai Mi.
Amy took off her jacket and sat opposite to Lu Xiaoan. Although she looked as exhausted as she did once, she was still in good spirits.
”Originally, I had planned to come back in two days. Mo Shu called me and said that you had met with some trouble, so she told me to settle some matters and come back as soon as possible.”
Lu Xiaoan felt a little embarrassed after hearing Ai Mi's words. Originally, the job was his, but now she was holding her back.
”It's like this, I want to add silk embroidery on top of the clothes, but I can't find a embroidery master that knows traditional Chinese techniques.”
Ai Mi opened the box that she handed to him, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
”This kind of silk is very hard to find. Moreover, there are very few of them, so most farmers aren't willing to sell them. I've only used this silk once and it's not many.” But speaking of embroidery, I've been studying with a master in Suzhou, China, for a few years. Although I'm not very proficient, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
