Jiang Nian was taken to the third floor by Ji Xiuan.
Third Brother's room was filled with art pieces with a unique design. As soon as Jiang Nian entered, she saw a black gift box on the table.
It looked almost half the size of a person, and it had a pretty bow tied on it.
Ji Xiuan was a head taller than the girl.
She wore a thin, soft knit sweater, her face was striking, and she smiled as she patted her younger sister's head: "Sweetie, open it and see if you like it."
Jiang Nian went over and opened the gift box. Lifting the lid, she saw a cheongsam dress inside.
A dress that is absolutely stunning at first glance.
The high-end black matte satin fabric, made using some unknown process, subtly shimmers under the light.
The neckline features the classic Chinese knot button design of a cheongsam, and the waist is tailored to fit the body.
The skirt is adorned with several three-dimensional butterflies embroidered with gold thread, understated yet meticulously crafted, lifelike, retro, exquisite, and full of dynamism.
Like starlight falling, butterflies danced in the night.
It perfectly matches the temperament of a young girl.
Emerging from the cocoon like a butterfly. Resolute and aloof.
"My older brother told me that you're going to perform the suona at a musical instrument competition on Monday."
“Since you are playing our traditional Chinese musical instruments, it is most appropriate to wear a cheongsam, so I designed and sewed this cheongsam for you.”
Ji Xiuan stood behind the girl, his eyes filled with starlight as he looked down, his voice brimming with doting affection, "So, does my darling little sister like it?"
This dress was sewn by my third brother himself.
As one of the world's top fashion designers, the only things that Ji Xiuan can personally design and sew are the haute couture garments exhibited at the annual AN.X fashion show.
Every piece that makes its debut is stunning, setting fashion trends both domestically and internationally.
However, AN.X will collect the haute couture pieces exhibited at the fashion show after the exhibition and will not sell or lend them to the public.
Therefore, apart from models, very few people in the world have the opportunity to wear dresses designed and made by Ji Xiuan himself.
Now, she is one of them.
“I like it, but how did Third Brother know my size?” Jiang Nian asked.
"Of course, Third Brother's eyes are like a ruler; he can tell at a glance."
The girl raised an eyebrow.
Ji Xiuan raised his hand: "Okay, I asked my older brother for the size of the clothes he had someone make for you before."
He pinched his sister's cheek and said, "You need to eat more. A cheongsam looks better on someone with a bit of meat on them."

Monday night.
Jiangcheng Convention and Exhibition Center.
Just as her eldest brother had said, Jiang Nian spent the entire weekend with her five older brothers, who had indeed turned down all their work to stay home with her.
The brothers were all very satisfied.
Only one man, who hadn't seen the girl for two days and couldn't climb out the window due to a gunshot wound, harbored deep resentment.
Si Boye wanted to come watch the game tonight, but Jiang Nian refused, saying, "The less you move, the faster you'll recover."
After school.
Tang Qiuyue went home to get her cello and will be back later.
Because Jiang Nian and Tang Qiuya were both participating in a musical instrument competition, Wu Qiuqiu used class funds to buy tickets, and the whole class came to cheer them on.
Even the homeroom teacher came.
Zhou Sen said, "I heard from my classmates that Qiu Ya is very well prepared this time. If she performs normally on stage, she will definitely get a good result."
He then looked at Jiang Nian and said from the bottom of his heart, "As for Jiang Nian, although I have never heard you play the suona, I always feel that you must be very good at it."
This is also what other people think.
They think there's nothing they can't do when they think of their sister.
And as long as you do it, you'll definitely be the best.
As soon as Jiang Ranran arrived at the contestants' waiting area, she saw Jiang Nian surrounded by the whole class, wearing a number tag on her body.
Her fingernails immediately dug fiercely into her palm.
Jiang Nian actually passed the review and qualified for the competition.
That makes sense... If she can teach Tang Qiuya her cello skills, it's not surprising that she's won prestigious awards.
For example, a city-level cello award or something.
But if she's good at the cello, why did she suddenly sign up for the suona? It's such an outdated instrument, no wonder no one appreciates it.
Since being kidnapped twice on the same day and nearly tortured to death, Jiang Sheng spent more than a week recovering from his injuries before he was able to walk again.
Afraid of missing her beloved daughter's competition, she and Chen Fulan rushed to the convention center, leaning on their canes.
"Dad, Mom, I'm here!"
As soon as she saw her parents, Jiang Ranran deliberately shouted loudly.
As soon as everyone turned around, they saw Jiang Sheng with his arm around Jiang Ranran's shoulder, looking very proud: "Oh, my good daughter, Daddy isn't late, is he?"
"Dad definitely recorded your entire performance on stage today on his phone. My daughter is the best in the world!"
Seeing that everyone from Class 36 and Jiang Nian were looking over, Jiang Ranran finally felt relieved.
So what if Jiang Nian has so many classmates and teachers around her?
Does she have a father?
She and Jiang Nian share the same father, but her father only has eyes for her as his precious daughter.
No matter how capable Jiang Nian is, she can't win her father's love!
Jiang Sheng only then noticed that Jiang Nian was also there, wearing a number tag. He couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Jiang Nian? What are you doing here? You wouldn't happen to be participating in the competition like Ranran, would you?"
Jiang Sheng looked at Jiang Nian with disdain, as if he thought she was a disgrace.
"Ranran has been learning the cello since she was little, which is why she plays so well. She's here today to participate in the instrument competition and win the championship. What instrument do you, a girl who grew up in the countryside, know? Why would they let someone like you participate in the competition?"
