Chapter 45 A surprise for her
later After moving the sewing machine to the room, Xia Qingying stopped stepping on it. She just took the drawing she had drawn and carefully looked at whether there was anything to be modified.
"Why don't you do it?" Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Lu asked in surprise.
He had never seen her get angry before, and she always spoke softly. Seeing her fierce just now, well... it was quite interesting.
Especially when she brushed away He Shanshan's hand, her eyes were firm and decisive, and her movements were clean and neat, completely unlike her usual weakness.
Such a contrast surprised him.
"Aren't you going to rest?" Xia Qingying asked doubtfully.
"It's still early." Lu Jingchen replied, "The sewing machine is not very noisy, it won't affect me."
Since he said so, Xia Qingling didn't bother to be polite and continued to make her own clothes.
Although she was a little tired, she felt full of energy when she made clothes. She enjoyed the process of beautiful clothes being slowly born from her own hands.
Lu Jingchen originally wanted to ask if the money he gave her was not enough for her to buy these scraps of cloth, but seeing that she lowered her head and worked seriously, he didn't disturb her.
The room was very quiet. She was making clothes seriously, while he was reading quietly beside her. Such a plain and beautiful atmosphere made Lu Jingchen feel very comfortable. He suddenly felt that it would be nice to live with her like this. After
Xia Qingxing finished locking the last edge, a long blue and white skirt was ready.
The skirt was fresh and elegant as a whole. The petal collar and crossed lotus sleeves enhanced the sense of design. The hem was large and draped, which should be very nice to wear.
She reeled in the thread with satisfaction. When she looked at the time, it was almost dawn. She didn't expect that she had been working for so long. When she looked up, she found that Lu Jingchen had fallen asleep leaning on the chair.
He tilted his head slightly, his delicate and superior facial features, smooth texture lines, and sharp facial contours, all of which exuded a noble and cold aura.
Every time Xia Qingxing finished making clothes, she didn't feel sleepy. This might be the excitement caused by joy and sense of accomplishment. Anyway, she couldn't sleep. She looked at Lu Jingzhen's impeccable face, and unconsciously picked up the pencil beside her and started to draw on the paper.
When she was in the present world, she learned various talents since she was a child, including singing, dancing, and painting. She might have some talent in her body, and she learned everything very quickly. Very good, her excellent art skills also added a lot of help to her later clothing design.
Just watching her move the pencil in her hand up and down, the rustling sound made by the contact between the pencil and the paper was particularly clear in the middle of the night. Soon, a portrait was drawn. On
the drawing paper, Lu Jingchen was holding a book in his hand, with his head slightly tilted up and his eyes closed. His long eyelashes cast a shadow under the light. His straight nose and thin lips exuded a resolute and steady temperament.
Although it was not lifelike, it was also very vivid.
She looked at the person on the paper, and the corners of her lips raised an upward arc. It was not that she had any special feelings for him, but when facing beautiful people or things, she just had a simple appreciation in her heart.
After a while, she put down the painting, walked to Lu Jingchen, gently woke him up, and let him go to bed.
Lu Jingchen opened his eyes, looked at the clock on the wall, and found that it was already late at night.
"I'll go wash up, you go to bed." Xia Qingying said, picked up the washbasin and walked out.
Lu Jingchen stood up and was about to walk out, but his eyes stopped when he scanned the table. He locked onto a sketch of a person among several clothing drafts. He walked over in confusion and picked it up.
Looking at the portrait on the paper with a special charm, Lu Jingchen was a little surprised and a little happy. He was surprised that she could draw and draw so well, and he was happy that she drew herself.
Looking at the painting, the corners of his lips raised slightly. After a moment, he put the painting away and walked out with the washbasin.
After both of them washed up, it was already very late when they lay down on the bed. Because they were too tired, Xia Qingxi fell asleep quickly.
In the moonlight, Lu Jing looked at her soft and delicate profile in amazement, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It was a pity that he couldn't draw and couldn't keep the beauty of the person beside him at this moment.

Because she slept too late, Xia Qingxi got up later than usual the next morning. When she rubbed her dizzy head and walked out with a basin, she happened to meet He Shanshan who had already washed up and returned.
Seeing her sleepy look, He Shanshan couldn't help but roll her eyes, turned around and went into the room, and cursed in a low voice as she closed the door:
"Fox spirit, shameless!"
Xia Qingxi was holding the basin, feeling a little confused, not knowing what medicine she had taken wrong again. Suddenly she remembered that when she and Lu Jingqie got up in the middle of the night to wash up yesterday, He Shanshan's door was half open.
She probably thought that the two of them had done something last night, and it took until midnight to finish, so when she saw Xia Qingxi so tired this morning, and confirmed her guess, she felt very uncomfortable, so she called her a fox spirit.
Early in the morning, she hadn't even opened her mouth yet, but she had already made He Shanshan so angry. Xia Qingxi smiled and walked out.
After quickly washing up, Xia Qingxi returned to the room, picked up her bag, and was about to leave. Lu Jingchen, who had also washed up and dressed, said in a deep voice:
"I'll take you there today."
"No, no." Xia Qingxi waved her hands and refused: "I can just take Xiaodong's car."
Xia Qingxi thought that he also slept late last night, and the injury on his hand was probably not fully healed. She took Wu Xiaodong's car just because it was convenient, so why should she bother him to take her there specially?
Lu Jingchen was about to speak, but Xia Qingxi had already run out quickly. He frowned and walked out.
When they got to the yard, just when they were about to call her, they saw Wu Xiaodong riding a bike, waiting at the door of the house. Xia Qingxi ran over and sat in the back seat of his bike skillfully.
Wu Xiaodong was riding in the bike, and when he saw Lu Jingxie, he smiled and greeted him:
"Hello, brother Jingxie."
Lu Jingxie looked at him with a cold face, and that expression was not good no matter how you looked at it!
"Then I'll take sister Qingxi away first." Wu Xiaodong was not tactful at all, and before leaving, he didn't forget to add a sentence as if to take credit.
After watching the two leave, Lu Jingxie turned around with a cold face and went back to the house.
The two of them arrived at the factory on time, and luckily they were not late. When they arrived at the workshop, Xia Qingxi went to ask for leave from Team Leader Qin, this afternoon and next Monday, a total of one and a half days.
Tomorrow is Sunday, and she and Lu Jingqi have agreed to go back to her mother's home in the countryside, but because the journey is too far, it will take at least two days to go back and forth, so she needs to take another day off and come back to work on Tuesday.
Because the original body had been performing well in the past two years and had good garment-making skills, Team Leader Qin liked her very much, so he readily approved her leave.
After finishing work in the morning, Xia Qingxi packed up her things and went home directly.
She returned to the yard, but did not go home immediately. Instead, she went to Mai Miao's house first. Mai Miao happened to be at home, and Xia Qingxi asked her to wash her hair and bring makeup to find her later, because she had a surprise for her.
Hearing the word "surprise", Mai Miao's eyes lit up and asked what it was? Xia Qingxi kept it a secret, said nothing, and went back first.
