Chapter Forty-Seven: Shopping and Shopping
On a sunny Saturday, even the bustling streets lined with high-rise buildings have a little more warmth and spring. Pedestrians come and go, not as rushed as on weekdays, because of the leisurely pace, the breathing of the whole city is much slower.
The café on the corner is already doing good business, but today it seems that there are more customers, especially young boys, who can't help but look back frequently when they order.
The barista followed their line of sight and glanced at the position near the window, smiled knowingly, and sighed secretly, youth is so good. If he were ten years younger, he wouldn't be able to resist accosting him.
The three girls are only sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed simply, with light makeup, but they still look radiant, fresh and charming, like petals stained with morning dew, without any modification, it is a pleasing illustration.
Especially the most slender girl, with a palm-sized face, delicate bones, gentle eyebrows and eyes, a straight nose tip slightly upturned, a sweet mouth with light corners, shallow pear vortex, full of honey, like God's most carefully carved elf, strayed into the mortal dust.
As if she had noticed the stunning gaze focused around her, her cheeks were slightly red, she lowered her head and stirred the drink in her hand, and from time to time she turned her face sideways and laughed with her companions.
"This is the first time we've gone out shopping together." Linda crossed Erlang's legs and leaned lazily against the back of the chair.
"Yes, you two are very busy, let alone shopping, when did you ask you to schedule a month in advance?" Penny said that she laughed first, she is actually busy, and the price of being a social celebrity is to maintain exposure and participation at all times, even if she is nested at home, she has to put some effort to post some sharing updates.
"This milk tea is really delicious, do you want to try it?" Nahi was afraid that she would turn up Dmitry's story again, so she quickly changed the subject, and Na Cheng wanted to bump into another gun.
"Nope! Thank you! Linda and Penny said in unison, they are not like Nahi, they are not fat.
Naxi shrunk her neck, obediently shut up, picked up the milk tea, took two sips, and the pearls were sucked up, with the bittersweet milk tea taste, it was really healing!
"But we are really hypocritical, we don't drink coffee at home that doesn't cost money, we have to pay out of our pockets to drink it in a coffee shop, and it's the same as treating ourselves, and I'm happy, what kind of psychology is this?" Linda shook her head and took a sip of the new meteorite latte, revealing the same satisfied expression as Nahi.
"How can this be the same as coffee at home? What we pay to drink is attitude, mood, and the taste of freedom! Penny was righteous.
"Hahaha" Nahi was amused and couldn't wait to raise her hands in agreement, "Anyway, which store will you go to to choose a dress for a while?" ”
She had never bought clothes by herself, and she had no experience at all, but yesterday Edward heard that she was going shopping with her girlfriends, and without saying a word, he stuffed a card, and told her not to hesitate to see what she liked, so she almost said "just swipe it".
"My eldest lady, the essence of shopping is in the word 'shopping'." Penny said to Nahikop, then raised her chin and nodded to the commercial street not far away, "The destination is not one store, but there, all the stores..."
Signboards and posters of all sizes are lined up, and everything in the window seems to be shining with gold. Clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry, cosmetics, neat or staggered, spread out the most gorgeous look, seducing the audience with every inch of dazzling texture, attracting people to buy it.
Nahi stood in the middle of the square, a little dumbfounded, but Linda and Penny were already excited, and casually pointed in one direction: "Ready? GO! ”
They said they were here to buy dresses, but they had to go in every store to look at them twice, try on everything, try on skirts, shoes, and of course try on the new lipstick number. I praise it when I wear it, but when I take it off, I smile and shake my head.
"Do you want to wrap it up?"
"No, thank you." They have a hundred reasons to refuse the inquiry that the shopping guide expects.
Nahi followed behind the whole time dumbfounded, and was occasionally pulled to be a model, trying on a few clothes that they called "too provocative".
"Sure enough! People look good in whatever they wear! ”
She wore a long dress with an unusual shape and strange colors, and was amazed by Linda and Penny together. Looking at the girl with a world-weary look in the mirror, Nahi's mind was full of thoughts:
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
But the store manager was full of excitement in the back, this dress is rarely tried on, and occasionally there are curious customers on the body, and it is really miserable, but this girl wears out the fairy spirit of the forest. She secretly raised her mobile phone, took a picture and sent it to the brand sales group, which immediately triggered a round of exclamations:
"This is the dress from this year's late spring collection?"
"I'm blind! Where did you find such a fairy? ”
"Oh my God! I originally thought this was the hardest item to sell this season, but if she was asked to take an official announcement picture, it was guaranteed to sell out. ”
"Really! And how could she make such an innocent and ignorant expression, it's a foul! ”
The candid image was later passed all the way to the marketing director and designer, triggering a frenzied search for the girl, who wanted to hire the girl as a brand model, but couldn't find her.
At this moment, Naxi didn't know what kind of waves she had stirred up, so she begged for mercy and looked at Penny and Linda, and asked, "Can we have lunch first?" ”
She's not tired, but she's hungry, so she tries all the way, and the energy in her body doesn't deplete too quickly. I really don't know how the two ordinary human girls are still full of energy, and they can't get enough.
After a preliminary understanding of their combat effectiveness, Naxi ate ten percent full lunch, and bought a cup of life-sustaining milk tea in his arms, ready to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
Thankfully, Penny finally remembered the main task of this shopping trip, and began to focus on some high-end retail stores that gathered niche brands, and finally immersed herself in the try-on of Reformation, C/MEO and Keepsake.
"How good-looking, even if you usually wear it, it won't be abrupt, and wearing it at the dance party also looks connotative, and the most important thing is that it's cheap!" Penny held up the sign, fainting with happiness.
After a seemingly aimless morning of visiting the store, she had a preliminary understanding of the prevailing price points in the dress market, and was shocked by the four-figure signs. Now seeing such an affordable and designed dress, she almost knelt down and cried thanks.
"Oh! This one looks good! When she came out in a navy fishtail dress, both Nahi and Linda couldn't help but exclaim.
The skirt is a classic waist length, thick shoulder strap design, tie a bow, cute and elegant, deep V-neck elongates the neck line, the waistline is outlined with sequin decoration, which not only adds highlights, but also gives people the visual effect of "legs below the chest", chiffon texture, the skirt is slightly transparent, and the saturated navy blue above forms a layered contrast, more transparent and elegant, if you match a pair of Roman strappy high heels, it is definitely a full score!
The more Penny herself looked, the more she liked it, and she turned around in front of the mirror, not minding that it was the only item that didn't participate in the discount, so she paid for it happily.
"What about you? Don't have a favorite? Solving her own problems, Penny begins to worry about Nahi.
Naixi's temperament is too pure and fairy, but she wants to dance with a biased desire, and wants to achieve visual transformation and docking through a piece of clothing, which is really... It's a bit difficult.
Nahi didn't care, she actually saw a good red dress, which was a little ordinary at first glance, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but then she walked around, but it didn't fit that one.
She turned to the front of the store again, looked at the brand, it seemed that she had not heard much, there were not a few clothes hanging in it, and the red dress was in the corner of the window, which was not even conspicuous.
"This one? The color is a little old, right? Linda tilted her head in disbelief that Burgundy red was not the color worn by young girls.
But she was wrong! When Nahi came out of the fitting room wearing this, everyone held their breath.
The deep burgundy with a strong sense of mystery neutralizes the watery simplicity of Naihi's body, and the textured satin material conceals the brilliance, which complements Naihi's pearlescent complexion. The heart-shaped bandeau design exposes the delicate collarbone and nape of the neck, and the skirt is an irregular three-dimensional cut, just above the knee, not falling apart, just right to outline the delicate curves. There is a contradiction between nobility and depravity mixed in the girl, which makes people want to sigh: pure and lustful!
Linda and Penny recovered for a long time, and shouted in unison, "..."
Nahi, who is waiting for their evaluation: ......
"I'm still a little dissatisfied, though," Nahi frowned in confusion.
"You're not satisfied?" Penny couldn't believe that compared to her effect, she was a scum just now.
"It's not that it's not pretty, it's that it's inconvenient to dance in a bandeau dress, if only it were a suspender like yours." Nahi explained.
"The clothes in our store can be customized, you can mention whatever you need, and if it is not too complicated, you can get the finished product in three working days." The clerk hurriedly spoke attentively on the side.
It turned out that it could be customized, and Naxi was moved, and followed the clerk to the back compartment to discuss the details of the modification.
Linda and Penny were not idle, and picked out other styles in the store and went into the fitting room.
"You ordered it here?" There seemed to be a few more customers in the store, and their voices were clear, and they were young boys when they heard it.
"Well, this one's custom-made model is not bad." This familiar voice turned out to be Andrew!
Linda and Penny change their clothes, and Nacy stops talking in the cubicle.
"By the way, you kid, you really took down the goddess Nahi?" The first boy to speak laughed, his tone frivolous.
"Not really, and I wasn't officially brought to our party by Andrew, I don't admit it." Another unfamiliar male voice was lazy and disdainful.
"I can't help you admit it, she has agreed to be my dance partner at the prom." Andrew's voice was self-satisfied, but the content made Naxi frightened, when did she agree to be his dance partner?
Who knew that his next sentence was an even more terrifying thunderbolt.
"We made a bet, but I won."
