Upon entering the spacious dressing room, one is greeted by rows of new clothes hanging on hangers.
One by one, graceful women were selecting clothes under the guidance of makeup artists, often taking them off to try them on or doing simple fittings.
This inevitably requires taking off your coat, and then
Then, her assistant helped to smooth out the wrinkles in the skirt.
"This way, please."
The guide led Xiao He and Jin Ling to a separate area where the dresses were different from those outside.
Of course, Xiao He couldn't see any difference.
If I had to say something, it would be that this one is cuter.
Things like bows...lace trim and the like...
"So? Which one do you like?" Jinling's eyes lit up as she grabbed Xiao He and asked.
"This..." Xiao He felt dizzy after looking around for a while: "It's all good, it's all good."
"Miss Zhu is free to try on any of the clothes. Miss Xiao, please follow me." The guide didn't stop for long before leading Xiao He further inside.
Jinling reluctantly let go of Xiao He's hand and watched him step into the dressing room at the end of the room.
It is said that Xiao He's skirt was custom-made, a unique and exclusive piece.
Jinling was very curious, so she sped up the selection process, hoping to see Xiao He put it on with her own eyes.
As I opened the door, a faint scent of lavender filled the room.
Xiao He thought it was a small room, but it turned out to be like a presidential suite, with cosmetics covering an entire wall.
The most eye-catching thing, of course, is the mannequin in the very center of the room.
She wore exquisite makeup and a slightly curled golden wig. If it weren't for the two white iron rods stuck in the soles of her feet, fixing her entire body to an iron circular platform, Xiao He would have thought she was a real person.
The mannequins weren't tall, probably only about 1.5 meters. Xiao He finally understood why they would specifically ask him if he wanted to come.
So that's why this dress is so special.
Even though I've grown taller, I can't pull off that "elf-like" look anymore.
"This is the latest work from our chief designer at Omega Lolita, part of the Paradise series, named Heavenly Wedding." The only makeup artist in the room stepped forward and explained to Xiao He, who was staring blankly at the dress.
The latter's heart skipped a beat: "A wedding?"
The makeup artist nodded slightly: "Yes, Ms. Xiao, hello. My name is Mia, you can call me by my first name. I hope we can work together smoothly."
"Hello, Ms. Mia." Xiao He snapped out of his reverie and shook hands with her politely.
The guide and Mia nodded to each other, and the former quietly left.
"Next, let me briefly explain her design to you."
As Mia spoke, she walked to the wrought iron platform and looked at "her" with deep emotion.
"She is a princess of heaven, who has lived in a heavily fortified castle since childhood."
"One day, she took advantage of the guards' nap and secretly slipped out of the castle."
"The outside world amazed her."
"She walked through the streets, through the city, through the dance floor... and finally, she got lost in the forest."
Xiao He blinked. Isn't that how fairy tales are? And if nothing unexpected happens, the prince should be making his appearance soon.
However, Mia did not mention the prince.
"As the sun set and night fell, the howling of wolves echoed through the forest."
"The princess was surrounded by a pack of ferocious wolves, and just when she was in despair, a passing hunter stepped forward to help her."
"He killed the wolf king, scared away the wolf pack, and successfully rescued the princess."
Mia spoke slowly, gazing at the dress with deep emotion. She wanted to reach out and touch it, but seemed afraid of disturbing the "person" herself, as if she were completely captivated by it.
"That's...it's over?" Xiao He was taken aback, it seemed a bit unconventional.
Mia shook her head, her gaze gradually dimming.
"No, this is heaven."
"Heaven forbids killing. So the hunter fell into hell, and the princess was heartbroken..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao He suddenly realized why the wrought iron round platform was black; it must have been used to symbolize hell.
Mia, standing beside Xiao He, did something similar, slowly lowering her head to look at her feet.
"Yes, hell... Her tears fell to the ground and turned into a deep pool."
"The water in the pool is very clear, like a mirror."
She discovered that the paradise she was standing on was merely a reflection of hell.
As Mia finished speaking, she gently turned on the switch on the disc beneath her feet.
A blurry light and shadow appeared beneath his feet. Based on this fairy tale, it wasn't hard to guess that he was the hunter.
"She saw the hunter's figure in hell."
"The two touched each other's fingers across the water. At that moment, the princess decided to marry him, even if they were forever separated by the greatest distance."
Xiao He waited for a while, but she didn't continue speaking.
Mia turned to look at him, her face regaining its initial gentle smile.
"This story is now finished."
"No ending?" Xiao He was slightly taken aback.
After all, "deciding to get married" and "already married" are not the same thing. Fairy tales always have happy endings; they shouldn't leave things ambiguous like this.
However, Mia confirmed again, "Yes, this is the end."
"When you put on this wedding dress—the one the princess has carefully prepared for herself—how you express your emotions will depend on your interpretation of the princess, Miss Xiao," Mia said with a smile.
Xiao He opened his mouth, but it would be a lie to say that he wasn't having second thoughts.
emotion?
Expressing emotions?
