The next day, it was Sunday 13th in the Beijing time zone, I don't know if it was the time difference that failed to adjust or the burning fighting spirit pushed, on this weekend when she should have slept lazily, Jin Shuxian woke up before six o'clock in the morning. After washing, she called to order a KFC breakfast takeout for herself, and then dug out the paper, pencils, brushes, drawing boards, easels, palettes and some expired watercolor paints from the drawer in the corner of the room, and ran downstairs to the window by the living room to set up the tools, ready to enter the so-called sketch creative design stage.

I picked up the pen and started to write, but my mind suddenly went empty.

PrefectLove – Perfect Love – Cliché Race Theme. I thought it was a concept that could be played with imagination, but for some reason, I was so at a loss for a moment......

What is love? ——

Love in Shakespeare's eyes is complex, sensual and poetic, he said: Love is a puff of smoke that blows when you sigh, there is a purifying spark in the eyes of a lover, and the tears of a lover are the waves it stirs up, it is the most intelligent madness, the bitterness of the throat, the honey of the tongue.

She wrote: Love is not complicated, but it comes and goes, not "I love you", "I hate you", or "forget it", "How are you", "I'm sorry".

When Zhang Xiaoxian said: Love is the perfection of oneself.

Look at Roland's words: Love is a religion.

See also "The Last Words of Fedrus": The so-called love is when one person believes all the lies of the other.

From ancient times to the present, across the east and west, thousands of faces, love has countless faces, constantly changing expressions, how can we express the "shape of love" that resonates with people?

What's more, there is another key word before "love", "perfect" - this, a noun that makes the concept even more difficult to complete.

What is perfect? - People are always greedy, always have expectations, and this kind of human nature implanted in the body and mind is destined to be difficult to accept anything "perfect" calmly - "This is not bad, but if it is improved here and modified there, it will be better." That's the usual logic. This kind of mindset is inevitable even for Kim Shuxian, otherwise how could she be deeply distressed by this theme?

Wedding dresses and diamonds are sacred objects to express love, treasures for women to realize their dreams, and lovers in countless women's dreams. With such a heavy mission, how amazing should a wedding dress that can express "perfect love" be? - It should be made with all your heart, and it is extremely luxurious. Kim Shuxian thought - just like the one worn by Princess Kate at the British royal wedding in 2011. Designed by Sarah Barton, creative director of Alexander McQueen, the wedding dress features a long trail and a large area of hand-embroidered lace, the workers who make the zuò wedding dress need to wash their hands every 30 minutes to keep the lace and thread clean, even the clothes needles are changed every 3 hours to ensure that they are sharp and clean, it can be described as the ultimate in fine craftsmanship, even the shoes used to match the wedding dress are finished with ivory duchess satin and embroidered lace of the Royal Academy. Exquisite and elegant, it was breathtaking, and thus set the global trend of wedding dresses in the following years.

It's not surprising that such a high-cost, manpower-based masterpiece can achieve such an effect, but in the current situation where resources and time are scarce, how to interpret it best? She also thought of the wedding dress designed by Verawang for Hou Peicen and Carina Lau like a "light fairyland", with embroidery and lace embellishments beautiful; There is also the Pepebotella series of three-dimensional tailoring wedding dresses that are as noble as the goddess of Xiàn, with beautiful lines and neat cuts......

Thinking is flying, but I can't put pen to paper. Jin Shuxian bit the back of the pencil and kept thinking about inspiration, until her mobile phone rang and she came back to her senses from her own world.

As soon as she looked at the caller ID, Shuxian sighed, sure enough, it was Harry, a clingy guy.

Picking up the phone, a very energetic male voice immediately came: "Shuxian, morning!" Have you eaten well? ”

“…… Who taught you how to say hello? It's 7 a.m., what's the matter? ”

"Huh? Isn't that the right question? But the first thing my friend in China said was not, 'Have you eaten?' It's like, 'Have you eaten well?' Even if I met it in the bathroom, I asked like this, it was very trendy, and I thought it should be asked. Also, I haven't had a jet lag yet, and I guess you probably are, so don't be mad at me if you're still sleeping...... Anyway, I actually wanted to ask...... Do you need help? ”

Jin Shuxian's brows furrowed suddenly, thinking about it, it must be this stinky boy who listened to the harsh conditions thrown by Diamond yesterday and took the opportunity to approach the tactics, so he replied angrily: "What are you doing?" Diamond sent you over to spy on the military plane and see if I was stumped by him, right? ”

"No, no, in fact, the diamond man is not bad, he will not do such a thing. He just told me last night, 'It's impossible to make a design that can be selected in such a short period of time, and it's even more impossible to fall in love.' Hearing this, I was worried, and I called this because I was worried about you. And...... I've figured out a way to help you! Hearing that Kim Shuxian on the other end of the phone didn't reply, Harry continued, "I asked Diamond about the Prefectlove wedding dress design competition last night, and he told Sù that Julietzhao was one of the judges, the jewelry designer who designed theAngelheart, the heart of an angel. Hearing him say that Angel Heart is still the prize of this competition, I thought, if the wedding dress you design can be perfectly combined with the Angel Heart necklace, you should be able to win the award. And I know Juliet! She's Diamond's girlfriend, and I've met her a few times, so I made an appointment with Diamond last night to take Juliet out for dinner, and you can talk about design ideas. We're going to have dinner tonight, come on! ”

"Huh? - Don't want it, do you? I don't like cheating. Shuxian immediately replied, "Besides, I need time to do design, so I don't have that much energy to socialize." ”

"But you have to eat......" Harry replied pitifully, his disappointment palpable, "and it only takes an hour." And I told them yes, and Diamond said I'd book a four-person ......."

"Well, why didn't you ask me and make a casual appointment?"

"I want to help you. Also, it's good to see Diamond more, I really hope the atmosphere between you can be better, it seems like there was going to be a quarrel yesterday, and I'm worried. ”

There is no need to meet, listening to Harry's resentful tone Jin Shuxian is enough to imagine his pitiful eyes like an abandoned puppy, and sighed deeply again: "Okay, send me a text message with the time and address, and I'll go have a meal in the evening." ”

“ok!——”

Hearing Harry's very energetic response, Shuxian smiled unconsciously, and suddenly felt that the burden in her head was a little lighter.

Hanging up the phone, thinking back to what Harry had just said, he suddenly realized that he was smart and thoughtful - "a wedding dress that perfectly combines with the angel heart necklace." This prompt points a clear path for the direction of his design. Moreover, this guidance is much more effective for Jin Shuxian than serving tea and water, writing love letters, and offering red wine, and Nizi has some points for Harry's opinion, so she secretly decided to control her attitude during dinner at night, and try her best to spread a few more smiles.

Returning to work, in order to have a clearer understanding of the direction of design, Jin Shuxian searched the Internet for information about "Angel Heart". As the information came out, she began to marvel at the subtlety of the jewelry's design.

Angel's Heart, a work of art with diamonds and platinum, was created two years ago by upstart jewellery designer Julietzhao Zhao Xinrui. Five slender PT990 platinum chains are strung together to create elegant streamlines, on which a few broken diamonds are delicately and regularly embellished with extremely high inlay technology, which looks sparkling and moving. On the front of the band, the left shoulder blade is stranded upwards by an artistic small heart-shaped diamond ornament that separates the five thin platinum chains, and the best part is the design of the back of the jewel, with five flowing gold strands falling and a wing-shaped diamond piece in the upper center of the shoulder ridge. Under the light, the diamonds sparkle and glow on the model's back, which is like angel wings. Not to mention the fact that the entire necklace uses a total of 1 3-carat and 99 50-point GIA-graded diamonds, which are set in diamond jewelry and cost millions of dollars alone.

It's a superb. Jin Shuxian sighed unconsciously.

The whole jewelry design is like a single go, whether it is the streamlined line of the platinum chain or the shape of the diamond design, it is perfectly calculated as if by the hand of God, expressing the ultimate in magnificence in simplicity, which is the highest level of design.

Closing her eyes, Kim Shuxian showed the "Angel's Heart" 360 degrees in her mind over and over again until all the details were clear. Then, she closed her laptop, picked up her pencil, and walked over to the drawing board.

Time flies, and when Jin Shuxian comes back to her senses, it is already dark. She picked up the mobile phone that had been forgotten in the corner of the coffee table, showing that Harry had sent the time and place of dinner at two o'clock in the afternoon - 7 o'clock, the Oriental Grand Hyatt Chang'an No. 1 store at No. 1 Chang'an Street, Dongcheng District. In addition, the current time is displayed on the phone...... 6:25 a.m.

No matter how you look at it, she didn't have time to change her clothes, so she wore this dirty cow pattern T-shirt and ripped jeans overalls, and then stepped on the only pair of 10,000-year-old canvas shoes that were brought back to China, Jin Shuxian went out in such a hurry.

When the taxi arrived at Grand Hyatt, it was nearly half past 7 o'clock, and as soon as the taxi stopped, Shuxian hurriedly jumped off, buried her head and walked forward quickly, recklessly, and almost collided with a tall beauty who had just walked down from the big rush in front of her. Looking up at her apologetically, the goose-egg-shaped face and upturned eyes were clearly searched on the web, needless to say, it was the talented jewelry designer Julietzhao.

"Juliet......" Jin Shuxian reflexively cried out, and out of the corner of her eye, she just saw a middle-aged man dressed in a straight dress getting out of the Mercedes-Benz in front of her. He looked at Juliet's background and wanted to make a sound, but as soon as he looked at Shang Shuxian, he stopped his words and returned to the car. The Mercedes quickly left.

"Oh? Looks like you're the new friend we're having dinner with tonight, right? Juliet asked with a smile, her slightly squinted eyes curved into a charming arc, and her soft voice flowed with a faint femininity. She wore a crimson dress, and the translucent black gauze coat was worn over her shoulders to echo the black crystal shoes on her feet, which perfectly set off her feminine temperament.

"Yes, my name is Jin Shuxian, you can call me Shuxian. Nice to meet you. Shuxian politely held out her hand.

"Hehe, I'm glad to meet you." Juliet slowly reached out and shook it,

Following Juliet's footsteps into the Chang'an No. 1 store, the transparent lobby layout composed of glass and wood grain made Jin Shuxian look at a four-person table near the window, the two men with outstanding temperament were chatting, and their relaxed expressions did not reveal the dissatisfaction of waiting for a long time, and they seemed to be chatting happily.

When the two beauties approached, the two men got up in unison and pulled out their chairs for each of them. Diamond deftly removed Juliet's lightweight jacket, and Juliet smiled at him and sat down in his chair. Shuxian didn't have a coat to take off, so she sat down with a big grin, trying not to care about Harry staring at her on the right hand and smiling.

After ordering, when the waiter took the menu away, the four young people were silent for a moment, and Juliet opened the topic first: "Eh, no one has introduced me to new friends, right?" ”

"yes, I'll introduce you." Harry answered, "Juliet, this is Miss Kim, an alumnus of mine, she is a graduate student in interaction design at the University of Southern California, and she studied ...... Costume design, right? He cast a sure look at Shuxian on his left, and the girl nodded at him.

"Yes, I did a bachelor's degree in fashion design at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, and then I went to Los Angeles for graduate school." Kim said.

"Although the design is similar, there are still some small crossovers between interaction design and clothing design - heh, but it is definitely understandable from my point of view. Our experiences are somewhat similar, I also studied design in different undergraduate and graduate studies, and I also studied fashion design. Looks like we should get along. Juliet smiled at Shuxian.

"yes, Juliet, you studied jewelry design in London, and then you went to New York to study fashion design, right?" Harry asked.

"Well, she completed her bachelor's degree in jewelry design at Central Saint Martins in London at the age of 20 and her MFA at Parsons School of Design in New York at the age of 22." Without waiting for Juliet to answer, Diamond explained to her.

"That's amazing!" Jin Shuxian was amazed. For those who do design, there is no one who does not know that St. Martin's College, the first of the world's three major design schools, and Parsons School of Design, the only one that can be as famous as the three universities, is the place she once longed for the most, and the MFA Fashion Design and Sociology is her goal major. So, she said very frankly, "You seem to have done everything I want to do the most, which is really enviable." It's no wonder you can design the 'Angel Heart', it's a great piece of work, it's simple and gorgeous, and the diamond reflection part is subtle, I love it. ”

"Ouch, don't praise me like that, I'm easy to be proud of, I still have a lot to work on." Juliet chuckled, "I also like Angel Heart, and my luck has improved since I completed that treasure, and it's one of the most memorable transfers in my career." Speaking of which, I should really be grateful to Xiao D, if it weren't for him, I would never have been able to complete this work. With that, she winked at Diamond. It seems that this little D refers to diamond.

“…… Don't mention this. Eat more. Diamond muttered in response to the other three people at the table staring at her, just as the waiter began to serve the food.

Harry turned his head to look at Shuxian, then at Diamond, and finally at Juliet, "What kind of story?" I'm curious to know how you came up with the Angel Heart, so let's hear it. ”

Juliet chuckled again: "Since the masses demand, then I will speak." Anyway, two years ago, our little D lost a big love-"

“juliet！” Diamond interrupted reproachfully.

"What? It's been two years, and you haven't let it go? Juliet winked at him again—Diamond fell silent for a moment, allowing the beauty in red to continue her story—

"Two years ago, when I returned to China, Xiao D happened to fall out of love. His previous girlfriend, who was beautiful and well-off, married three months after breaking up with him, and, ah, sent him an invitation. This stupid kid secretly went to watch on his ex-girlfriend's wedding day, hey, what an infatuation. Then, that night, in the middle of the night, he knocked on my door, smelling of alcohol, and the sleeves and shoulders of his shirt were torn. This is something that only high school students do, and there is really no way to do it. You can't leave him alone, just let him take a shower first, and then give him a room. After a while, when I came out of the room to check if he was okay, he was sitting topless on the living room couch with his back to me. The lights in the living room were all turned off, and only the night light from the window came in, mixed with the light refracted by the large crystal lamp on the roof of the living room, hitting Xiao D's bare back, forming a feather-like phantom...... It's so beautiful, he's like an angel who has fallen to the mortal world. I didn't have to step forward, I knew he was crying, men are always attractive when they show their true feelings, and my inspiration came at once......"

“juliet！ I've said I don't want to mention it. Diamond couldn't help but interrupt, anger in his tone. For a while, the atmosphere dropped a few more lively points.

Fortunately, the dishes have been served one after another, in order not to let herself be hit by the spark dust generated by this ambiguous gossip dialogue with a full score, Jin Shuxian only cares about taking care of the poultry on the table, the saliva chicken with chopsticks in the east, the fried duck liver with chopsticks in the west, the roast duck in the bag, and the saffron cabbage, it is none of her business, and she hangs it high.

"Oh, you really can't let go of the second lady of Yu's company." Juliet put on a slightly aggrieved expression and muttered softly.

Just this sentence, the sonorous words "the second miss of Yu's enterprise" made Jin Shuxian, who had already swallowed the orange juice in her throat, "poof" all at once...... Squirted out—

"Shuxian, are you alright?" Harry handed the napkin with concern.

Jin Shuxian absentmindedly took the tissue and replied casually: "It's okay, it's okay, I just didn't expect to hear the name Yu Wanyin." ”

"How do you know the name Yu Wanyin?" Diamond and Juliet asked the question at about the same time.

Shuxian was stunned for a moment, and somehow felt that she had revealed information that should not be revealed, so she searched her stomach and found a reason: "Because...... Because the name is nice and easy to remember, and ...... And she's famous! ”

"Is there one?" Diamond furrowed her eyebrows again, her expression lower than the previous polar bear's expression, "Nice and easy to remember?" Where is she famous? Are you hiding some unspeakable secrets? ”

"What secrets can I have? …… In short, I just accidentally happened to know the name Yu Wanyin, can't I? ”

Diamond's eyes narrowed. He stared at Jin Shuxian, like a big bad wolf staring at a little goat, and this look made Shuxian only feel a burst of hair.

Fortunately, the cute and sensible Harry once again jumped out voluntarily to play a round: "It may be that your ex-girlfriend is too beautiful and powerful, so Shuxian just knows it." ”

"How is that possible? Yu Wanyin stays at home all day as a housewife, and even few of my friends around me know about her. Diamond snorted and continued unceremoniously, "I don't like to hide something when I make friends, and I don't have any sincerity at all—Miss Jin, I'm talking about you." ”

The name Yu Wanyin was mentioned just a few seconds ago, which already evoked some unpleasant memories, and the man sitting opposite was actually quite unreasonable and trivial, and he had to put up in the ring to find a fight, and Jin Shuxian's hot temper came up in an uproar - hmph, this kid really doesn't know who to provoke!

Thinking about the transfer of the second year of high school, Xiaoxian first entered the school, beautiful and talented, how many men fell in love with talking and laughing, but no one dared to take a step and a half beyond the thunder pool, just because Jin Shuxian was a woman with a hot personality, and she learned the third rank of Sanda in her first year of high school, which is the belt of the Golden Eagle. Although the rank is not high, but the woman is naturally smart, with extraordinary understanding, with a solid basic martial arts skills God to block and kill God, Buddha to block and kill Buddha, at the beginning of entering the school, not only successfully eliminated the harassment of several rogue suitors, but also held the uneven, and cleaned up a rampant and domineering "school bully". For a time, the fame grew, and the nickname "Ah Bang" has been retained to this day.

Now, the remnants of the lovelorn still exist, the old country fugue, amorous should laugh at me, I haven't given birth early, and my natural temper is still the same. Life is like a dream, and I scold whoever I like.

So, she frowned coldly and said unceremoniously: "Mr. Dai, have you never been hit since you were a child?" has been held by people as a rich second generation all day long, and it has become a habit. If others don't follow you a little bit and don't cling to you, you can't stand it? Take back your son-in-law's attitude, the last thing I want to eat is this set. ”

"Do you have a grudge against a rich man?" Diamond's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

I refuse to answer this question, which has no logic or connotation, and that makes no sense. You can ask for it. Jin Shuxian continued to stare back, trying to furrow as deep as possible.

"Kim Shuxian! ——”

"Okay, okay, let's all eat, the dishes are almost cold...... Diamond, don't force her if she doesn't want to say it, and besides, it's not a big deal......" Harry quickly interjected to interrupt the electric gland in the eyes of the two, and the round was fought one after another...... It's a pity that the war has already begun, and it can't be stopped if you want to.

"Miss Jin, don't forget that you and I have a crucial bet before you, the PrefectLove Wedding Dress Contest - heh, I'm even more sure now that you can't make a beautiful wedding dress. Look at yourself, there is no emotional factor at all, indifferent and unreasonable, lack of education, vitriolic and bad character. After these few meetings and observations, I can see that you don't have an enmity with a rich man, but a grudge against a man all over the world. I don't expect you to understand love at all. Still want to win the game? No way! I repeat my opinion once again, you give up quickly and do not waste time and resources. Diamond finished the above words in one breath, without breathing, and Juliet's eyes widened in shock, and it was really difficult for Diamond, who was silent in her impression, to say such a long sentence.

"Do you have a sense of superiority if you use power to oppress people at every turn?" Jin Shuxian tore off the napkin spread on her knees, and stood up expressionlessly, "Don't think that the whole world knows you about love, and if you fall out of love, the whole world owes you." Yu Wanyin is your ex-girlfriend, do you know who is married to her? That's my ex-boyfriend! I can't make beautiful clothes? The wedding dress that Yu Wanyin wore when she got married was made by me, and I didn't know who she was marrying when I did it! Are you satisfied with this answer? Dai Gongzi! ”

After finishing speaking, Jin Shuxian picked up her backpack and walked out, so violently that Harry lost the courage to chase it out for a while.

Back at the apartment, Harry called to apologize as a matter of course, and Kim Shuxian hung up after a few words of "um, um". Then, she took a shower, thinking that she must visit Minxiang tomorrow, and after a while she fell into a deep sleep.
