Luo Xiaoli watched for a while, then turned around and whispered an encrypted call to the two in Chinese.
"I don't really like this style, let's look at some others."
"It's just an ordinary one, nothing special," Zhao Xuerou agreed.
Their taste in clothing has always been very high, and that wedding dress was merely a very ordinary style, nothing particularly surprising. For something you only wear a few times in your life, the pursuit of quality is probably not so extravagant; looking stunning is the most direct standard.
The group continued walking forward. The shop assistants at the wedding dress store were quite enthusiastic, enthusiastically introducing the several wedding dresses displayed on the right side of the main hall. They talked a lot, and Zhao Xuerou barely understood a bit of what they were saying, but she noticed the way Luo Xiaoli and Ke Bing looked at each other.
It seems... I'm not entirely satisfied with any of them.
Even though these wedding dresses occasionally had some outstanding features, none of them made these individuals feel any desire to wear them.
After looking around for a while, Luo Xiaoli glanced inside again during the gap in the shop assistant's introduction. There was a corridor-like design on the right side of the main hall. Walking inside, you could smell a pleasant lavender scent. Right in the middle of the corridor, a wedding dress immediately caught Luo Xiaoli's eye.
She walked inside without thinking, ignoring the shop assistant who was still talking.
Ke Bing was still listening attentively as she recounted the designer's original concept when creating the wedding dress.
Luo Xiaoli had already walked up to the dress.
The wedding dress that caught her eye was truly beautiful, especially the long veil, which even reached her waist. The front of the veil covered her face and chest, completely enveloping the bride's head. If it were paired with some jewelry, the combination of sparkling diamonds and the hazy veil would undoubtedly create a stunning effect.
Below that is a skirt made of soft white fabric, which is not bulky at all and does not have a long train, giving people a clean, neat and dignified feeling, like a lily bud about to bloom.
This made Luo Xiaoli reach out to feel the texture of the clothes, as if she could see herself in a white wedding dress many years later through them.
She wanted to wear such a veil when Jiang Cheng put the ring on her finger.
It's probably about creating a beautiful atmosphere where you can see someone as soon as the clouds part.
Ke Bing and the others noticed that Luo Xiaoli was not around, so they walked over and spotted the dress immediately.
"Hey, this style is pretty good, better than the ones we've seen before."
"It's really beautiful, wow." Zhao Xuerou also touched it to feel it.
"Ladies, you have such good taste!" The saleswoman's eyes immediately curved into a gentle smile. "This dress is designed by the Italian designer Masto. He has always had his own unique insights into design, and what is most special is his understanding of the veil. I'm sure you've noticed it too."
"Indeed, this veil can be paired with many different looks."
"Yes, ladies, but this dress is... a little bit pricey."
Expensive? They never care about the price. As long as it looks good, they're willing to spend all the money in their bank account to buy it. That's women for you.
"Wait a minute, I need to talk to my sisters." At this moment, Zhao Xuerou pulled the other two over and told the shop assistant. The three of them bent down together.
Zhao Xuerou whispered, "I think this store must have even better styles, but they just haven't put them out. Some good wedding dresses are for people who know their stuff to choose from. The ones on display always seem a little lacking to me, and I don't feel like trying them on. I'll ask around."
“Okay then.” Luo Xiaoli nodded.
Zhao Xuerou straightened up and asked the shop assistant, "Do you have anything more expensive or better?"
"More expensive?" The shop assistant was taken aback.
There seemed to be some doubt as to whether such a young girl could afford the truly expensive wedding dresses in the store, since each of those dresses costs five figures in US dollars.
Are you... sure?
"We are certainly certain."
Zhao Xuerou told the other party very seriously.
"Alright then, I'll ask the store manager."
She smiled and said she would wait a moment, then walked to the other side in her black high heels, probably to make a phone call.
After the shop assistant left, Ke Bing spoke.
"Xiaorou, I think it's okay to just look and forget about it. We might not actually buy anything. You don't even have a boyfriend yet, and you've already picked out your wedding dress. Isn't that a bit unnecessary? I think it's a bit too early. If we prepare in such a rush, who knows what the future holds?"
Ke Bing actually only intended to come in and broaden her horizons; she didn't really intend to buy anything.
However, Xiaorou said to them with a smile, "Oh, it's not too late to pick one now. I think this store is really good. What if they have the wedding dress we like? If it's really meant to be, it's okay to try it on. Just treat it as a pastime. Xiaobing, you're not young anymore. You're the same age as me, twenty, right? And... I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but didn't you hear Jiang Cheng say that the battlefield is very dangerous? What if something happens and you never have the chance to wear a wedding dress in your life? I really want to try it."
Her face was full of happiness, but her words were tinged with sadness.
Despite her seemingly nonchalant demeanor and usual quirky personality, Zhao Xuerou had actually made some preparations when she passed the review.
Moreover, I doubt Ke Bing carefully read Article 32 of the Federal Employment Agreement signed this morning.
It clearly stated there: All members who join the Federation must know that the mortality rate on the front lines is extremely high, and be mentally prepared for the imminent outbreak of war. On the battlefield, the goal must be to protect the homeland, fight to the last second, never retreat, possess a fearless spirit, and hold the belief that death is nothing to fear.
We will never back down when it comes to the issue of Earth's territorial integrity.
The serious tone and weighty words of this thirty-second article are so striking that they leave one in awe and deep in thought.
The moment she read it, Zhao Xuerou truly realized what she was doing and why Jiang Cheng had spoken to her. She realized how close the choice between life and death was; she even thought that perhaps it wasn't too late to back down.
Forget it, only cowards would back down.
After thinking it over, Zhao Xuerou signed the employment agreement without hesitation.
Presumably, their current carefree attitude stems from careful consideration; once the decision is made, there's no point in regretting it.
"What if something goes wrong?" After hearing this, Ke Bing was silent for a moment, then said, "Well... let's give it a try."
