Hearing that, Feng Nuan panicked. “Won’t we lose, then? Their costumes are as good as Haute Couture. I heard that Zhou Xintang’s family is very rich and that she has her own team of people to help her. Besides, if we can’t make a strong impact on entry, it won’t matter how well we dance after that. People are visual creatures and the first impression is the most important one.”
Fang Shiqing echoed, “We must give an amazing first impression.”
Lu Yi contemplated. “So our greatest priority now is to prepare the costumes. It’d be best if they were custom-made and we must find a designer who is more famous than Zhou Xintang.”
If money was not a problem, how many designers were there in China who were more famous than Zhou Xintang? The students exchanged glances.
Lu Yi looked at Gu Mang who had been silent up to this point. “This time, we have no choice but to pour all our hopes for winning on Gu Mang’s dance.”
They were representatives of Ming City High School. If they lost no one would talk about which of the girls lost. Instead, they would criticize Ming City High School.
Gu Mang’s pretty eyebrows drooped. Her beautiful hands nonchalantly propped up her face. She was quite expressionless.
Lu Yang also became anxious. “What should we do, then? Should we go find a designer to make the costumes?”
Fatty thought for a moment. “I know a few good designers but compared to Zhou Xintang there is still a gap between them.”
For her to be called a genius designer she must be really skilled.
Chu Yao didn’t know much about designer circles. If they could find a designer he might be able to give some monetary aid.
Gu Mang stood up suddenly, put her baseball cap on her head, and stuffed her hands in her pockets. “Let’s call it a day. We’ll decide the time for the next rehersal.”
With that said, Gu Mang turned and walked away.
“Sister Mang, wait.” Shen Huan got up and took out her cell phone. “Let’s create a chat group. We can talk in the group.”
Gu Mang didn’t look back as she replied in a chilly, low voice, “Add me.”
She turned a corner and left the dance studio.
…
At night, Gu Mang sat on the bed with a sloppy posture. She was doing some design work. She held her drawing book in her hand and her head was tilted casually.
There were seven people dancing in a row.
The loose, long-sleeved hoodie was cropped to expose the navel. The sleeves were designed with flora and fauna patterns and at the front was a totem of a leaping unicorn, its eyes giving off a powerful expression.
The culottes had a simple, loose-fitting design, made of a thin gauze material that fluttered gracefully. This design had always been Gu Mang’s style. It was a collision of the old and new to create a new harmonious style.
At three o’clock in the morning Meng Jinyang opened her eyes and was startled when she saw the dim light coming from behind Gu Mang’s bed curtain.
She got down from bed lightly, afraid of waking up her roommates. Carrying a hot water bottle, lunch box, and milk, she went to the balcony to heat up the milk.
Five minutes later, she touched the temperature of the milk packaging. It was quite warm already.
Gu Mang was finishing up the design when the bed curtain was pulled open at the corner. A milk carton was proffered to her and she was greeted with Meng Jinyang’s gentle smile. Meng Jinyang didn’t say anything but only passed the milk to her.
Gu Mang paused for a few seconds, took off her earphones, took the milk, and looked down at the warm milk. She shook the milk up and down and smiled. Why was she so thoughtful?
Meng Jinyang whispered softly, “I’m going to bed and you should sleep soon too.”
Gu Mang nodded.
…
The next day.
Lu Yi asked in the group chat, “Do we want to discuss the costumes?”
Gu Mang gave a concise reply. “I have already found a designer and I will post the finished design in the chat.”
