Chapter 53: Graduation Showcase

After sending Laura away, Shi Lei, who had no task on his side, regained his old routine.

During that time, the people who came to the ranch to protest really couldn't bear Shi Lei's lazy temperament, and they didn't even see the rancher Shi Lei in person for a few days.

It is said that there are still a few original single couples who bonded because of the protests and then achieved good things in their camping tents, but it is not known whether any of them will be able to make it to the end together.

You must know that there are many couples who do not get married in Midi, and there are many who are married and divorced. Even if you get married, it only means that there is a 50% chance that you will end up together. There are also those who simply get married and divorce, such as Xiao Tiantian and her childhood sweetheart.

Without these pesky protesters, Shi Lei, who is now light, can take the snow to the seaside plank road and enjoy the scenery around him while jogging.

California girls generally dress in one style, a pair of shorts or a skirt with a bikini or some kind of sports vest. Therefore, there is no shortage of such spring and glorious scenery on the seaside.

Shi Lei, who was physically and mentally happy, returned to the ranch to have fun with the horses, and wandered freely among the mountains and rivers with his pets, enjoying the beautiful scenery while exercising his parkour skills.

After calming down, of course, it is indispensable to bring your two pistols to the mountaintop shooting range to find your touch. Shi Lei has always had the habit of hoarding bullets, but he is not worried that the bullets for training are not enough.

After all, will you have a competition with Robinson and them in a few days, although there is no color, but Shi Lei has to make a name for himself, and he can't let Laura's praise be disappointed.

After such a fulfilling few days, it was finally time for Laura's graduation project to be launched.

Shi Lei cherished the Chinese-style stand-up collar that Laura personally designed for him, and after putting it on, Shi Lei took the admission ticket and came to the UCSB campus.

After checking the tickets, Shi Lei sat in his seat, in the first prime row next to the catwalk, next to Laura's father Colin and mother Emily.

Now that they have met a few times, the two of them have a very good impression of Shi Lei, and both of them are very easy-going, so in front of them, Shi Lei has also eliminated his nervousness, and he can talk and laugh.

"Hey, Stone, this Chinese stand-up collar is good today." Colin joked with a laugh. It can be heard that it is worthy of being a Chinese person, and it is not like many Midi people who came up with the sentence "What a beautiful Tang costume".

"Well, Shi's figure is very good, and his temperament is also very good, just enough to call this outfit." Emily was also on the side, for sure.

"Where, it's still Colin, you are more dignified in this Tang costume." Shi Lei modestly praised Colin.

Although along the way in just now, many professional or non-professional people praised Shi Lei's decent clothes, but in front of the old Taishan in the future, he can't his tail.

Moreover, Colin's Tang costume should have been shot by Emily, as the saying goes, simple but not simple, which sets off Colin's wise and heavy scholarly temperament very well, and at first glance it gives people a feeling of so-called superiority, which is definitely a complementary match.

"Hehe, it's similar to you, Emily designed and made it for me by herself." Colin said with some meaning.

"Yes, this dress is a gift specially prepared for me by Laura, and I will cherish it." Shi Lei admitted it calmly, and by the way, he tactfully expressed his heart to the two elders.

After the host signaled that the press conference was about to begin, everyone around him stopped talking and began to focus on the catwalk.

Shi Lei looked at the works of the designers who were about to graduate a little absent-mindedly, while trying to maintain a faint smile and a focused appearance, and occasionally exchanged a few words of opinion on a certain work with Emily next to him.

Until the end, Laura's design work was arranged as the finale, which was both an affirmation and a great challenge.

Laura's works are mostly made of silk, and several of them use Xiangyunsha, which is known as the most expensive silk.

Xiangyun yarn, also known as silk, is called "Xiangyun yarn", because if you flick it in your ear, or wear it and walk, you can hear the sound of "rustling". Xiangyun yarn has only one color - black.

In the hot summer, wearing clothes made of fragrant cloud yarn has the comfort of "sweating and not sticking to the body, the cooler you pass, the more brisk you pass", and no matter how you rub it, it will not wrinkle.

Because of this peculiarity, Xiangyun yarn has become the most "valuable" silk in Chinese history, and it has also become the preferred summer clothing for the rich in the old days.

Xiangyun yarn is an environmentally friendly silk fabric made of plant dioscum juice, black river mud, and handmade zuò. The fibers of the fabric are soaked with potato juice, so that the fabric also has the health care functions of cooling, dehumidifying, detoxifying and clearing fire.

However, it is precisely because of its preciousness that in the era when the land of China was in full swing, it was mostly worn by some landlords, traitors and other villains, and this image often appeared in film and television works and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it was not recognized by people.

Until the new century, Xiangyunsha has become a best-selling environmental protection and health care fabric in the world, and has shown its unique beauty in the hands of many world's top fashion designers at many international clothing conferences, and has radiated new vitality.

These clothes designed by Laura caught the attention of all the audience as soon as they appeared.

In Shi Lei's view, the clothes designed by Laura have the nobility of Parisian style, the detail grasp of Milan style, the uniqueness of British style, and the simplicity and elegance of Chinese style.

Coupled with the casualness of the Midi style, plus the decoration and embellishment of embroidery, it becomes chic and comfortable with its own unique style, a low-key and introverted style and rhyme that makes people feel comfortable.

Therefore, not only did Shi Lei sincerely give Laura 32 likes in his heart, but the enthusiastic response of the surrounding audience can also prove that this is not just Shi Lei's feeling of loving the house and Wu.

From time to time, you can hear compliments in various accents, including French or Italian. There is no shortage of people who look like leaders in the fashion industry.

When Laura returned with the models wearing her creations in her own clothes, she received the warmest applause from the audience.

The excited Shi Lei took the lead in a standing ovation, which attracted the attention of the people around him. Some people also seemed to be very interested in Shi Lei's outfit.

After coming down from the backstage to Shi Lei's side, Laura, who was obviously very excited, hugged Shi Lei directly and took the initiative to offer a warm kiss, which made Shi Lei a little embarrassed. After all, he was still in front of Laura's parents, and Shi Lei couldn't let go.

There were people in the fashion industry who came to meet Laura next to them, and when they saw the two of them standing together, they looked particularly compatible, and they all curiously asked Laura if they were all her works, and after getting a positive answer, they inevitably praised Laura.

After sending off these enthusiastic fashion industry people, Laura, who was in a calmer mood, chatted with Shi Lei and his parents.

"Your work is amazing, you are definitely the brightest star of the night, the fashion devil of the future." Shi Lei sincerely praised his girlfriend.

"It's not as good as you say." Laura was somewhat pleased to hear her lover's praise.

"It's definitely better than I said, just look at the reactions of these fashionistas who came today, your watch will only be better than what I said." Shi Lei said affirmatively.

"Well, the work you've shown tonight is really great. We're all so proud of you. If there are no accidents, you will definitely be selected to speak on stage as the representative of the top students, so you have to be prepared. ”

Emily smiled and acknowledged Laura's achievements, and she was also proud of her daughter's excellence.

After kissing Laura goodbye with some reluctance, Shi Lei walked alone on the way back to the ranch. Laura prepares for her commencement speech, so she goes home with Emily at their suggestion.

Shi Lei was embarrassed to ask Laura to go home with him for the night in front of his parents, so he had to stay alone.

Fortunately, this kind of day should not last long, listening to Laura, she plans to move out of the house after graduation and live with Shi Lei in Stone Ranch, so that the two can better run in, which can be regarded as another form of experiment.

Sometimes, someone who is a good girlfriend is not necessarily a good wife for you.

Because to be a boyfriend and girlfriend, all you need is feelings or even a momentary impulse, and if you want to enter marriage, you need to make a commitment that will depend on each other for a lifetime.

The process of falling in love is a process of constantly discovering the strengths of the other person, while the process of marriage is a process of constantly discovering the shortcomings of the other person.

If you want to go through a lifetime together, you need to always remind yourself of each other's countless advantages, and constantly tolerate each other's seemingly more shortcomings.

When two people are accustomed to each other's existence and accept each other's strengths and weaknesses, they can hold hands and go on.

Of course, Shi Lei welcomes Laura's idea, which is getting closer and closer to the rhythm of forming a new family.

According to Laura, her gentle and enlightened parents had already agreed to her doing so, and it could even be said that it was with their encouragement that Laura had the courage to come up with such an idea.

In this regard, what else can Shi Lei say, he can only cherish Laura better, and better be filial to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Besides, the stone ranch is really not far from Laura's house, and it doesn't take a few minutes to get there by bike. Laura's family wants to be reunited, it's really easy and enjoyable.

On Friday morning, Shi Lei once again joined Laura and his family and rushed to a large meadow on the UCSB campus.

The venue and rostrum have already been set up here, and there are colorful flags and various bright colors everywhere, rendering the happy festive atmosphere here.

The ceremony went smoothly, and the school leaders here really just said a few words, and more time was reserved for outstanding student representatives like Laura.

Shi Lei, Colin and Emily all sat under the podium, and as Laura's family, they listened to Laura's enthusiastic speech with joy and pride, and did not hesitate to give their applause.

After the end, the three of them took a group photo with Laura in a bachelor's uniform, and finally a group photo of the four of them came, which was also the first family photo, and it was definitely significant.
