Chapter 1044: Zhi and Ai Luofu who were almost exhausted to death
……
Five days later, the morning sun slanted into the streets of Fontaine.
Shao Yun held Ying's hand, followed by Paimeng. At the agreed time, they pushed open the wooden door of Qianzhi's house. The wind chimes on the door jingled, but there was no response from Qianzhi as usual.
The house was quiet, if it weren't for the lights on.
Could it be that these two people ate low-quality Baisong soup and ran to the toilet to get diarrhea?
Suddenly, Shao Yun looked up and was stunned.
I saw Chizhi lying on her desk, her face buried in her arms, her hair messy, and she looked lifeless.
Elof was leaning against a chair in the corner, with her legs stretched out on the stool next to her, a half-eaten breadstick in her hand, her eyes closed, her eyelashes casting a light shadow under her eyes.
I guess I fell asleep while eating...
The two girls looked like puppets with all their strength drained away, exuding a lifeless air as if they would fall apart if they moved any more.
"No, what's going on with you two?" Shao Yun's mouth twitched, he walked over lightly and asked.
Qianzhi, who was lying on the table, raised her head with two obvious dark circles under her eyes.
How long has it been since you last slept?
She blinked her dry eyes, fixed her gaze on Shao Yun's family of three, and said weakly, "The clothes... are ready."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the table, where sixteen neatly packed gift boxes were stacked...
She was able to maintain her dignity even at the end of the work, she is worthy of being called Chiori!
"You guys... go to the fitting room and try it on."
Just as she finished speaking, her head slammed back onto the table with a thud, and she muttered muffledly, "I can't take it anymore... I feel like my whole body is in pain."
"Tomorrow I'm going to take Ai Luofu out for a trip, a vacation, and some sun! I'm so tired... I'm really so tired..."
Shao Yun saw that she almost had no strength to lift her head, and glanced at Ai Luofu who was still unconscious on the rattan chair, and smiled helplessly.
Then he took out four heavy money bags from his backpack and placed them on the table with a "clatter". The golden Mora appeared from the gaps in the bags.
"Here, extra hard work pay. Four hundred thousand, split in half between you and Ai Luofu. Go eat something nice and have a good rest for two days."
Qianzhi didn't even raise her eyelids, but just squeezed out a sentence in a muffled voice.
"Oh... leave it there. I really... don't have the energy to touch it."
Ying stood aside, looking at Qianzhi and Ailuofu, with an awkward yet distressed smile on her face, and comforted them: "Thank you for your hard work, Qianzhi, and Ailuofu... I really trouble you two."
Paimon also came to the table and whispered, "Do you want me to wake up Elof? She seems to be sleeping very soundly."
Qian Zhili buried her face in her arms and shook her head, saying vaguely: "Don't... let her sleep... She has worked hard these past few days..."
Since Chihiro and Ailov need to rest, the next thing they should do is change their clothes.
Ying took out a set of neatly folded clothes from the gift box and said to Shen He beside her with a smile: "Then... Shen He, come and try on this new set of clothes."
Upon hearing this, Shen He nodded meekly and carefully handed the baby "Xi" in his arms to Shao Yun.
Shao Yun quickly took the child and patted her back gently.
Oh, it’s finally my turn to hold my own daughter…
Shen He took the long skirt handed to him by Ying, turned and walked into the changing room in the corner.
The curtain closed with a "rustle", and soon the rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other could be heard from inside, occasionally mixed with the sound of laces being tightened.
Paimon walked back and forth curiously at the door of the dressing room, with a look of anticipation on his face.
Shao Yun leaned against the table holding the child, while Ying stood beside him with an expectant smile on her face.
A moment later, the door of the dressing room was opened.
Shen He stood at the door, having changed into her "ranch worker's long skirt".
She subconsciously raised her hand to adjust the cowboy hat on her head. The brim of the hat was pulled down a little low, covering the loose hair on her forehead.
The long silver hair contrasts sharply with the dark vest and long skirt, and the originally cool and elegant temperament is now filled with a bit of worldly liveliness.
He wore a pair of leather gloves to protect his hands while working.
A pair of high riding boots, matched with a set of silk leggings, but because of the long skirt covering it, it is generally not visible.
Moreover, in addition to the belt used to fix the long skirt, Shen He also wore a waist bag around her waist to store small tools and the like.
Of course, Shao Yun would most likely not let Shen He do the herding work. After all, her main job in the future might be to help Ying take care of her children...
"This dress... is it okay?" Shen He pursed his lips slightly, his fingertips nervously picking at the buttons of his vest, "I feel a little, a little too uncomfortable..."
Paimon floated in front of her with a "Wow" sound, his eyes wide open, and circled around her three times.
Finally, Paimon looked at Shen He wearing new clothes and clapped his hands happily.
"Shen He is so beautiful! Wearing this dress makes me feel so free and passionate!"
Qianzhi, who was lying on the table, raised her head because of the excitement, and her eyes lit up instantly when she saw the results on Shenhe.
She sat up straight on the table and raised her chin proudly.
"Of course, don't you see who made it? When you go out in the sun, you'll definitely need a hat to block out the sun. I've reinforced the brim of this hat so it won't bend in the wind."
As she spoke, she suddenly became energetic and talked about everything as if she knew everything about the back of her hand.
"Also, to make it dirt-resistant, I've specially given the outer material a three-layer waterproof treatment. Oil and dust will come off with just a few wipes, and it won't get wet even if it rains."
"Feel the pockets of this vest. There are hidden pockets on the inside, which is convenient for storing personal belongings."
"By the way, how's the lining? Does it fit?"
Shen He followed her instructions and touched the inside of the vest, and sure enough, he felt a small pocket.
She thought of the lining Qianzhi mentioned and nodded seriously, "The lining is very comfortable, soft against the body, and not prickly at all."
"That's good." Qianzhi leaned back in her chair as if relieved, and pointed to another set of clothes folded in Ying's hand. "By the way, how about trying on the one for home wear? The material is softer."
Ying immediately handed over the long dress in her hand. The hem of the dress was embroidered with delicate wheat ear patterns and the color was a soft beige.
"Shenhe, try this outfit. Qianzhi said this one is more suitable for wearing when you're at home with Xi."
Shen He took the skirt, looked down at the pattern on it, and replied softly, "Okay, no problem." After that, she carried the clothes and walked into the dressing room again.
Afterwards, Shen He entered the fitting room, holding the off-white dress. Following the same process, the rustling of fabrics could be heard from inside. This time, the change was much quicker, and after a few moments, the door opened again.
She stood in the doorway, already dressed in her homely "ranch girl outfit."
The white long skirt fell to the ankles, and the hem swayed gently with her breathing. The wheat ears embroidery on it glowed delicately in the sunlight.
A corset held back the volume of her skirt, and she wore a light beige open-necked jacket over it, with delicate silver bracelets on her wrists.
The earrings on her ears swayed gently with her movements, and the necklace hanging around her neck softened her originally cold temperament.
Shen He was obviously not used to such exquisite attire. He folded his hands lightly in front of his abdomen and asked weakly, "How about this..."
Paimon's short legs swung excitedly as he clapped his hands, "Wow! She looks like the big sister next door! Especially this little coat, it looks warm and makes me feel so reliable!"
Ying walked forward, brushing her fingertips over the fabric of her coat, and commented, "This material is so comfortable. It will definitely be convenient to wear when I'm at home with Xi. The waist isn't tight, so it should be very comfortable to do things with."
Qian Zhi, who was sitting behind the design table, looked at the ready-made clothes on Shen He and explained, "The first set is for work, it's durable and wearable; this set is for home, it's close-fitting and soft."
"Look at the curve of the waist of this vest, it makes it more comfortable to move around."
"While the two styles may look similar, the fabric density, seam direction, and weight of the accessories are actually different, so you won't get tired of them by switching between them."
Shen He looked at Ying and Paimeng, both of whom had satisfied smiles on their faces, and she, who had never had a strong opinion, breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she lowered her head to look at the long house dress she was wearing. The light-colored fabric made her skin look even whiter, and the fragments of light from her earrings swayed gently with her movements.
She turned around and thanked Qianzhi, "Thank you, Miss Qianzhi... Both sets of clothes are very suitable for my taste."
Shao Yun also gave a thumbs up and commented: "Not bad, Qianzhi's craftsmanship is still online."
At this moment, Ying suddenly noticed Kong in the corner. He was staring at the men's clothing gift boxes piled on the sofa, without any movement.
She walked over with her hands on her hips and poked her brother's arm in dissatisfaction.
"Brother? Why don't you change? Qianzhi made so many sets specially for you, don't you like them?"
Kong was startled by what he saw, and looking at his sister's bright and expectant eyes, he felt worried.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to wear it, but he really doesn’t have the heart to try on new clothes right now.
But looking at Ying's puffy cheeks, he quickly racked his brains to find an excuse, scratched his head and smiled, "There's a long way to go, why rush it now?"
"And look, Shen He still has so many sets to try. Let her try them all first."
Ying followed his gaze to the remaining gift boxes on the table. There were indeed several sets of clothes that had not been tried on, all of which belonged to Shen He.
She curled her lips. Although she was a little dissatisfied with her brother's procrastination, she had to admit that what he said made sense, so she snorted and turned around.
"It's up to you... Then I'll focus on Shen He!"
As she spoke, she grabbed a set of cyan clothing and waved to Shen He: "Shen He, Shen He, come and try this one on!"
