Chapter 130 Chance Encounter
"School is so boring! What are you doing?"
In the afternoon, Lu Yao was lying at home watching TV when he heard the ringing of his cell phone. When he opened it, he saw a message from Zhang Lina from the band No One's Having a Baby.
"Watching TV at home."
He was concise and to the point.
In exchange for Zhang Lina’s envy:
"I'm envious. I wish my family could be here. I can go home every week. It's so comfortable."
Soon, Zhao Hang also followed:
"Lu Yao, do you have any recommended scenic spots? It's really boring at school."
Lu Yao thought to himself that there is nothing to do in the Demon City... They are all lying to you outsiders.
But he still recommended it with a kind heart:
“The Bund is really beautiful at night.”
He also said, "Only if you can withstand Jiang Feng".
He has some bad intentions.
And just when the three people in the group started chatting about the fun places to visit in the Magic City, Wei Qianqian suddenly came online:
"What about the costumes for the performance? Bring your own?"
Zhao Hang:
“You can only bring your own, it’s too late to customize it.”
Wei Qianqian:
"Yes, then do we have to set a style?"
Zhao Hang:
"For example?"
Wei Qianqian:
"It can stand out as a rock star. RUA eats the meat!"
Lu Yao:
"The typos in the front can be echoed in the back, you are really awesome."
Wei Qianqian:
"Hey. What do you think of the leather jacket?"
Zhang Lina:
"The one with metal rivets? I happen to have one."
Zhao Hang:
"Leather jacket? I don't have one."
Zhang Lina:
"Go buy it."
Zhao Hang:
"[Nose-picking] Will you reimburse me?"
Wei Qianqian:
"I also have a leather jacket, but isn't it too silly to wear a leather jacket all the time?"
Lu Yao watched their chat, thought for a while, and said:
"How about we have the same color, the same style, but not the same clothes. I don't have a leather jacket either, but I have a black suit."
Zhao Hang:
"Wearing a suit and singing rock music? Dou Daxian's kind?"
Zhang Lina:
"Dou Wei? Wow, yes! The lead singer wears a suit and sings the most independent rock style! Just think about it!"
Wei Qianqian:
"You don't look good in a suit."
【Picture】
"Here. Look, he looks like an old cadre."
What she sent was a photo of the two of them taken at the high school graduation ceremony. In the photo, Lu Yao's suit did look a bit out of place.
I can't say it's uncoordinated, I can only say... it's a bit old-fashioned.
Lu Yao:
"I have new ones, but I haven't picked them up yet. How about I put them on and show them to you? My black clothes are not only suits but also T-shirts. I do have a black shirt, but it's a summer style. It feels too silly to wear it out. ”
Wei Qianqian:
"That's okay, then you can send it to us for a look. The others... are going to have a black style for the time being? Dress up cool."
Zhao Hang:
"Okay, then I'll go buy a leather jacket."
Zhang Lina:
"You want to go shopping? Count me in, I'll help you! I'm so bored at school."
Zhao Hang:
"Okay, let's meet at the door. Hurry up."
Zhang Lina:
"OK."
Xu Ruochen:
"A black suit? I have one too. I'll put it on for you to see."
Seeing Mr. Xu coming up, Lu Yao jumped up from the sofa, put on his clothes and walked out of the house.
When he worked as an assistant to Xu Ruochu, as an "assistant benefit", the other party personally took him to order several suits. And it's been half a year, and he hasn't gone to get it yet.
All the way out the door, he looked at the Mercedes-Benz in his parking space and thought to himself that his father was still young and didn't understand what private use of a bus meant... Why go out for fun in a self-driving car? So oil is not money?
With some helplessness, he walked all the way to the bus stop and got on the bus.
Mr. Xu has already sent a selfie.
The black suit he wore was praised by Zhao Hang, but was spurned by Wei Qianqian and Zhang Lina:
"I feel like a playboy, not good-looking."
"I feel bad if I have oily hair and pink face. I'm not cool enough."
Lu Yao thought it was okay, but it was a pity that Brother Xiaochen obviously valued the words of the two female band members, and soon sent another photo of a cool leather jacket + jeans.
Zhao Hang thought it was vulgar, and Lu Yao also thought it was ugly.
But Wei Qianqian and Zhang Lina both gave thumbs up.
Therefore, Mr. Xu naturally ignored the opinions of the two male compatriots.
Lu Yao rolled his eyes.
A guy who values sex over friends.
After riding all the way to Nanjing Road, he started looking for the clothing store based on the location in his memory.
To be honest, he didn't know quite what level this ready-made clothing store was... but he could only say that the store was very large and the decoration inside was also very good. It complements the old magic city atmosphere of Nanjing Road.
Soon, after arriving at the door of the store, he walked directly in.
The person who received him was not the same one as last time, but it didn't matter. After Lu Yao reported his name, the other party quickly found his information in the book, nodded, poured a cup of tea politely, and asked him to wait.
Until...two unexpected people showed up.
"Lu Yao?"
"...First sister?"
Lu Yao was a little surprised when he saw Xu Ruochu and Xiao Min walking out of the store.
The same is true for Xu Ruochu.
Looking at him doubtfully, he asked:
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here to get the suit I ordered with you."
"You."
"Uh..."
Xu Ruochu directly corrected his title, then shook his head helplessly:
"What do you get for summer suits in winter?"
Lu Yao was a little embarrassed:
"I forgot about it before."
Xu Ruochu didn't care about this reason. He just turned to Xiao Min and said:
"Put your clothes back in the car first."
"Okay, Mr. Xu."
Xiao Min nodded quickly and walked out carrying a few bags.
Seeing this, Lu Yao asked:
"Let me help you, Assistant Xiao."
"No need, I can do it myself."
At this time, Xu Ruochu said:
"Come in with me. How can you wear summer clothes in winter? It's just right, go and measure it and order two sets of winter clothes."
"Uh... No, I don't usually wear much. This time I wore it for a performance."
Xu Ruochu paused and turned to look at him:
"That New Year's Day performance with Xiaochen and you guys?"
"That's right."
"..."
Xu Ruochu opened his mouth, obviously curious.
For one thing, she never asked her brother about the show. On the other hand...she thought of Hu Li.
So I didn’t ask for the exit after all.
Just nod:
"Come in and let them measure you again."
"...Okay."
Lu Yao had no choice but to follow in.
"Master Lin, please measure the pattern for him and make two sets for winter."
"Okay."
The old man with a measuring tape hanging around his neck glanced at Lu Yao through his spectacles, and seemed to think the child looked familiar.
But I couldn't remember it for a while.
At this time, the man holding the clothes also came over. Although he was a little surprised as to why Lu Yao was here, he still politely stepped forward and said:
"Sir, your clothes are ready. Do you want to try them on?"
"Try it."
This is what Xu Ruochu said.
"...Okay."
Lu Yao nodded and walked into the dressing room with several suits.
When he came out, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Why do you feel like these trousers are...a little short?
And Xu Ruochu and Tailor Lin also looked this way.
There was also a look of confusion on both of their faces.
"...Xiao Li, go and get Mr. Lu's pattern."
"Okay."
The waiter left quickly.
Tailor Lin, on the other hand, directly picked up the measuring tape, squatted in front of Lu Yao and started measuring.
Lu Yao didn't know much about measuring clothes, but he heard the old master saying to himself:
"No, why is it so short?"
At this time, Xu Ruochu also came over.
Her figure appeared next to Lu Yao in the mirror.
Frankly speaking, Lu Yao's impression of Xu Ruochu's clothing has always been quite good.
She is still wearing a black style today, a three-piece winter suit.
It was a little hot in the room at the moment, so she didn't wear an outer coat. Her top was a black tight fleece jacket, underneath was a narrow gray woolen skirt, on her legs was a pair of thick black silk, and on her feet was a pair of slightly shiny Pink brown high heels.
She has her hair in a high bun and a pair of hoop earrings hanging from her ears.
The whole person looks mature, strong, and full of royal sisterly style, and at the same time, he is also full of the charm and beauty of a woman. And that one-in-a-million dignity.
At this moment, she was standing next to Lu Yao.
When Xiao Min came over to see it, his first impression was...
These two are a perfect match.
But the second impression is...why are Senior Lu's pants so short?
She was confused, Lu Yao was confused, and Xu Ruochu was also staring at him in the mirror.
While confused, his eyes were a little empty.
Until Lu Yao's version was brought over.
Master Lin took the pieces of paper and began to measure Lu Yao's size again. After measuring up, down, left, and right, he showed an apologetic look:
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, this is our work error."
"Master Lin, is the size wrong?"
Xu Ruochu asked.
The old master looked embarrassed, but nodded:
"Yes, the length of the pants is two centimeters too short."
"..."
At this time, Xu Ruochu frowned.
The old master asked Lu Yao:
"Mr. Lu, do you remember who measured you at that time?"
"..."
Lu Yao said in his heart that the uncle is you.
But...
He said tentatively:
"Is it because I've grown taller again?"
Master Lin was stunned:
"How old is Mr. Lu this year?"
"...19. But I have indeed grown taller. I measured my height before and it was 185. When I measure it again in October, it will be 188." "Huh?"
The master was stunned.
Hurry up and get someone to move the height measuring pole.
And the answer is obvious.
Lu Yao has indeed grown taller.
Now, everyone knows the real reason why the suit doesn’t fit.
"You have grown taller?...No wonder."
Xu Ruochu walked next to him again.
Wearing high heels, she just reached Lu Yao's nose.
"...Then order a few more sets. Master Lin, give him a good measurement again."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She said while looking at the two people in the mirror.
"No, no, no, just wear it."
Lu Yao was about to refuse, but Xu Ruochu already shook his head and said:
“Three sets of woolen spinning and three sets of worsted spinning, the fabrics should still be from Sijiabao.”
"Well, okay. Go get the cutting template."
The old master nodded and agreed.
"Sister Chu..."
"You try this."
Xu Ruochu pointed to the tie on the side and said.
"...Okay."
Lu Yao nodded and took the fancy-looking tie.
After tying it up, he turned to look at her.
Xu Ruochu took one look at his simple four-hand knot technique and shook his head helplessly:
"This kind of suit cannot be tied with a four-in-hand knot."
After saying that, she hesitated for a moment, but finally walked up to Lu Yao, helped him take off his tie, and started to circle left and right... Then when Lu Yao couldn't understand, she slapped him. Windsor knot.
Because he was so close, Lu Yao found it difficult to look directly at him.
I could only tilt my head and wait until she said:
"Okay, take a look."
She moved away, the tips of her ears slightly red.
And Lu Yao looked at himself in the mirror...
Although the legs of the trousers are a bit short, I have to admit that when paired with this light blue and dark blue tie, the layering of the suit suddenly comes out.
But...
"Isn't this too formal? Not suitable for a performance?"
Xu Ruochu was stunned when he heard Lu Yao's words.
I thought about it in hindsight...
Oh yes, he still has to perform.
But...
"The Windsor knot suits you perfectly."
She said, looking around the row of ties.
While searching, I asked:
"What style of performance is it?"
"...rock and roll."
"..."
Xu Ruochu was speechless:
"Singing rock music in a suit?...That would make you feel cheap."
Lu Yao shrugged:
"This is what everyone discussed. Everyone thinks that my style of using Dou Wei is quite good."
"Who is Dou Wei?"
"..."
Xiao Min on the side twitched the corner of his mouth.
After thinking for a while, she took out her mobile phone.
Soon, a photo appeared in Xu Ruochu's eyes.
It was 94 Hung Hom. Dou Daxian was wearing a black suit and holding a flute in his hand to impress Hong Kong people.
Xu Ruochu didn't know this person.
But after seeing the photo, she knew what he wanted.
So, after helping Lu Yao untie his tie, she said to the apprentice on the side:
"Go get a vest with a peaked collar and a triangle hem, and a black velvet jacket with a round and semi-high collar."
Soon, the apprentice brought two pieces of clothing. Lu Yao, who had just re-measured the size, put on his vest first with a confused look on his face. After putting on his suit, Xu Ruochu shook his head and asked him to put on the black velvet suit. Clothes.
Soon, after Lu Yao came out, Xu Ruochu's eyes lit up.
Not just her, but Xiao Min as well.
So clean!
she said to herself.
The dark blue suit and black fleece jacket look casual but clean.
But what followed was Xu Ruochu shaking his head:
"Master Lin, add a black casual suit. The dark blue suit is not suitable for performances."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched...
"Sister Chu, no need...and will it be too late? We will perform on the 29th."
Xu Ruochu was stunned.
My heart said that it was indeed too late.
Because all the suits coming out of her place have to go through the hands of Master Lin, and the old man's speed of making clothes is really not fast.
After thinking for a while, she said to the clerk on the side:
"Bring some of the finished black suits over and let him try them on."
After saying that, she turned to look at Lu Yao:
"If it's really too late, then get the finished product first."
"Uh...Okay."
Lu Yao could only nod.
Soon, the clerk brought over several sets of ready-made clothes. After trying them on, Lu Yao finally settled on a black casual suit. Although it is ready-to-wear, it unexpectedly fits him very well.
Apparently, his build is pretty standard.
So I even changed into trousers.
When he came out of the dressing room again, Xu Ruochu's eyes flashed with appreciation.
Apparently, she liked the outfit.
"That's it. I'll also get a new fleece jacket. How do you feel?"
"...very good."
Lu Yao looked at himself in the mirror and sighed in his heart.
I thought she had really good taste.
"...Well, let's just say that. Take your clothes back and ask Aunt Li to remember to clean them. Let's go."
Lu Yao was stunned:
"Why go?"
"Accessories, this outfit is too monotonous. You need to spend some time choosing some suitable accessories. Also, you need a good pair of leather shoes."
"Uh...this...isn't necessary?"
Looking at Lu Yao who was a little hesitant, Xu Ruochu asked:
"Do you have anything else to do later?"
"No."
"Then let's go, just...just go shopping with me. Let's go."
So, Lu Yao got into her Maybach.
"How have you been lately?"
she asked after getting in the car.
Lu Yaoxin said it’s not like we’ve never met before...
But he still answered honestly:
“It’s pretty good, quite colorful.”
"..."
The corners of Xu Ruochu's mouth twitched.
Apparently, the school life Lu Yao said was so colorful that she changed her taste.
But just as she was about to continue saying something, the phone rang.
It's a work matter.
Lu Yao didn't bother him. He sat in the back row and was pulled by Xiao Min to an unknown destination.
Xu Ruochu's phone call took a long time.
I didn’t hang up until I got to the mall.
Lu Yao listened to her words and roughly understood that this was a technology investment project. The employees had been following her for a long time and seemed to be discussing the investment amount and shares.
Soon, the car parked on the roadside in front of the mall.
The two got out of the car first.
Xiao Min drove the car to the underground parking lot.
Xu Ruochu walked forward holding the phone while Lu Yao helped her carry her bag.
Everything seems like yesterday.
After arriving on the first floor of the shopping mall, the two visited two jewelry stores, and Xu Ruochu finally made the call.
Soon, her eyes fell on Van Cleef & Arpels:
"Go there and have a look."
"Okay."
Lu Yao followed her in.
And Xu Ruochu's goal is very clear, platinum.
Gold doesn't suit rock and roll, nor does it suit the outfit he's wearing.
At this time, she took a fancy to a ring that looked pretty good and said to the shopping guide:
"I'll take a look at this one."
"Okay ma'am."
The waiter opened the counter and took out the ring with gloves on.
And she had just got it in her hand, when suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation from inside the store:
"Wow!"
Lu Yao and she both subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the direction where the exclamation came from, and then... they saw a man kneeling on one knee with a ring in his hand, facing a girl...
Is this a proposal?
"Will you marry me?"
The girl was surprised and subconsciously covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
But in the end...she stretched out her hand.
Let the man put the ring on her ring finger.
"Pa, pa, pa..."
The clerks applauded subconsciously.
Lu Yao also followed the drum.
While drumming, he looked at Xu Ruochu with somewhat surprised eyes.
But as soon as he turned around, he found that Xu Ruochu was also looking at him.
And in her hand, she was holding a ring...
"..."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
"First sister?"
"...Huh?"
Xu Ruochu came to his senses belatedly and followed Lu Yao's gaze to his own hand.
The platinum ring on her hand was also shining brightly.
She was stunned.
His eyes fell on Lu Yao's face again.
Suddenly realizing something, he blinked quickly, and a blush clung to his cheeks.
