Chapter 1193: Fragrance in the Fog
Xia Yingluo smiled slightly and really pointed him step by step. “Remove the threat here, tighten this area, replace the white glass beads here with red crystals, and cut 4cm here…” There was no need for the tailor to worry at all, he just had to alter accordingly. The tailor didn’t know what the overall effect of the dance dress would be, but he dismantled and stitched the dress up very obediently. His basic skills were solid, so the stitches were fine and flat and satisfactory.
Jin Ling’er was not idle. She bought small accessories like crystal beads for her and replaced all the cheap ones.
They were busy all night. When dawn came, the dance dress was finally done.
The cuffs and sleeves that were originally cumbersome were shortened and light as wind. The waistline was lifted, the back was hollowed out, and a thin tie was wrapped around it, giving off a kind of dangerous allure. She put on the dance clothes and looked like a silver-gray fairy walking out of the morning light, elegant and beautiful. Her straight back and collarbones were extremely seductive.
“Beautiful…” Jin Ling’er stared in a daze.
Xia Yingluo smiled slightly and stood in front of the floor-length dressing mirror to adjust the costume.
Her fashion taste had been cultivated by a master since she was a child, and she also had a picky mother, so she was very outstanding and could modify a dress no less than that of a master. The original dirty gray and white gradient was turned lively by her, and the ruby crystals between her wrists were more charming.
“Fairy…” Jin Ling’er said.
Xia Yingluo smiled sweetly and raised her delicate little chin proudly. “Humph, I’ll kill everyone with this!”
They thanked the tailor and left, but she and Jin Ling’er didn’t go back to the dormitory. They stopped by a nearby hotel instead.
After a long night without sleep, she collapsed onto the soft big bed and soon fell asleep. Maybe she was too tired, but her dreams were chaotic and she didn’t even know what she dreamt of. She only knew that she felt very uneasy, and there was a lot of misty fog in her dream.
It seemed like something was peeking at her in the mist.
What…
What was it…
She widened her eyes and tried to look at it clearly. The scent of Skatana flowers wafted from the mist, as well as…
A pair of eyes.
A pair of amber, inanimate, monster eyes.
She woke up with a scream, her heart beating like a drum, her body soaked in cold sweat.
Jin Ling’er rushed in from outside, her face nervous. “Yingluo, what’s wrong with you?!”
She panted for a long time, feeling cold all over in the midsummer weather. Finally, she managed to calm down and said intermittently, “Monster… I dreamed of a monster… standing by the bed, looking down at me.”
Jin Ling’er was relieved. “I thought something bad happened. Isn’t it just a monster? Little girl, how old are you to still be scared over a dream?” She stretched out and tousled her hair.
Xia Yingluo smiled bitterly. “You don’t understand.”
If it had been an ordinary nightmare, she wouldn’t have been this scared. But this dream about the mist had troubled her since she was a child. This was the first time she was able to smell the flowers and see the eyes of the monster.
The cold, amber, mirror-like eyes.
As if it was… Wei Lingnan.
Was all this related to Wei Lingnan? Ever since he appeared in her life, it seemed like everything had changed.
“How could there be monsters in this world?” Jin Ling’er said with a grin, “Even if there is, I’ll strangle them for you.”
Xia Yingluo laughed dryly. Jin Ling’er had never seen Wei Lingnan’s perverted horrifying healing power and her unexplainable reaction, so she could easily say such words.
Maybe Wei Lingnan was a monster.
She was suddenly taken aback by her thoughts.
She absent-mindedly persuaded Jin Ling’er to leave, then she crawled down from the soft big bed, turned on the computer in the hotel, and began searching for a series of related information about monsters, superpowers, and unnatural phenomena. She found the results both funny and extremely embarrassing. It was all deceptive fake news of ET aliens that looked like Avatars.
Wei Lingnan couldn’t possibly be an alien, right?
A bunch of nonsense.
Xia Yingluo groaned at not having found any useful information, then went back to collapse onto the bed.
She fell asleep again, but she didn’t dare to sleep too deeply. She didn’t dream of a monster this time. She only dreamed of the floral fragrance in the wind behind the mountains, as well as the soft and sweet kiss of Wei Lingnan. It made her heart messy, turning to a ball of feelings.
Jin Ling’er told her it was almost time for the engagement party.
The two said goodbye. Xia Yingluo hailed down a car and headed to the engagement banquet.
Soon, she took the performance certificate and walked in through the back door passage dedicated to the staff.
Soon, she found the backstage. The team leader and Jiang Bilian were furious, especially the team leader. When she saw her, she rushed forward as if she had seen her relative. “My little devil! Why are you here at this time? What time is it already! You’re on in five minutes!”
Jiang Bilian said coolly, “Could it be stage fright?”
“It doesn’t matter if you have stage fright alone, but don’t you dare throw the training camp’s face,” Zhu Zhu said in dissatisfaction. “Do you have any discipline at all? This morning I knocked on the door of your dormitory for half a day, only to find that you didn’t go home at night! Don’t tell me you went to find those dubious men to bawl your eyes out and beg for help? It’s no use, you have to go on stage no matter what!”
“Who said I didn’t want to be on the stage?” Xia Yingluo smiled sweetly.
Zhu Zhu was scared by her smile. Could this brat be harboring bad intentions again?
The leading teacher pushed Xia Yingluo. “Go and change your clothes! Where’s your dance costume? Hurry! It’s too late!”
Xia Yingluo took off the thin coat on her body, exposing the delicate and beautiful dance costume she was wearing. “I changed into it already.” Even her makeup was completed, and her long, black hair had been done up delicately. Combined with her beautiful costume, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
The lead teacher froze. This girl… was so beautiful after doing herself up for a performance!
Jiang Bilian and Zhu Zhu were also stunned, but what they stunned by was… when did this bitch alter her dance clothes?!
“You broke the rules.” Jiang Bilian took the lead in responding, staring at Xia Yingluo. “You altered the dance costume without permission? This is a disruption to the entire dance formation! It’s going to be a mess!”
“That’s it!” Zhu Zhu also responded and rebuked. “You’re just a little dance performer, how dare you!”
Originally, she had given Xia Yingluo the ugliest costume, but now that Xia Yingluo had altered her dress into such a beautiful one. Wouldn’t the ugliest person become her now? Zhu Zhu was so anxious she was going crazy.
