"I'm going to wear it in a few days, so I can't have it customized. I can only buy ready-made clothes. But now the ready-made clothes are all well made. Sister Ling and Ren Suo both have standard body shapes. Find a better brand ready-made clothing store and you can buy nice formal clothes."
"If you have time, I would still recommend getting a full set of formal wear customized. I'm not very familiar with Lianjiang, but Shenhai and Tianjing both have shops that have been around for decades..."
Ren Suo scratched his ears and interrupted Gu Yueyan's petty-bourgeois suggestion: "Who do you think wears formal clothes often, me or her? It's just because the school requires it, so I bought it temporarily and don't need to customize it..."
Dong Chengling also nodded: "Sportswear is still more comfortable. I rented a formal suit when I graduated from college, and it was very troublesome and uncomfortable to wear."
Gu Yueyan was helpless. Needless to say, Ren Suo never left the house and was a homebody even among the ladies from wealthy families. Dong Chengling only went between the teaching building and her home. Even if she wore a pair of slippers to class, no one would question her teaching ability and cultivation strength. All the students would only be in awe of her.
She had no choice but to say, "Wearing formal clothes well is a sign of respect for others. The reason why formal clothes are troublesome and uncomfortable to wear is to show that you value others. Sister Ling, aren't you going to attend the dinner? I heard that there will be international guests. We can't lose face for Tianlian College, right? ... Xiaoyu, why are you holding me?"
Lin Xianyu held Gu Yueyan's hand and pointed to an ice cream shop on the side of the underground mall: "The second cone is half price! Let's buy it together, squad leader!"
Gu Yueyan raised his hands and said unhappily, "I don't want to eat!"
"If you don't want to eat them, you can give them to me. I can eat two by myself!" Lin Xianyu said confidently with her thumbs up. When she saw Gu Yueyan's mouth curled up in a scary arc, she immediately became timid: "I mean... if you don't want to eat them, you can give them to Xiao Xingxing or Brother Ren..."
In the underground passage of the Xingyue Shopping Mall, Ren Suo and his four companions were immersed in the crowd for the first time in a long time. The three girls seemed a little excited - after staying in the quiet academy for a long time, the coming and going of people in the mall outside felt quite fresh.
That day, Ren Suo and Dong Chengling talked about formal wear, and made an appointment to go buy some together - shopping for formal wear online is too unreliable - and naturally Ren Suo was able to continue to eat for free, but when Gu Yueyan also came to eat for free, Dong Chengling mentioned this matter, and Gu Yueyan volunteered to help them pick out clothes.
Ren Suo already knew that Gu Yueyan had a good family background, as evidenced by the fact that Gu Yueyan had paid him a lot of money to be a healing monk. In the past, everyone wore school uniforms in high school and junior high school, so everyone was the same. But when Gu Yueyan skipped a grade and went to college, she could wear her own clothes, and her dressing style soared to a new level.
Her taste is trustworthy. Coincidentally, Ren Suo and Dong Chengling are both not good at picking clothes, so they asked Gu Yueyan for advice and went clothes shopping together on the weekend.
"Brother," Ren Xingmei came over and said to Ren Suo, "Buy me a formal suit, too."
Ren Xingmei wore the skirt that Ren Suo bought for her last time today. Although she still had short hair, she wore a star-shaped headdress. She exuded the aura of a young girl from inside to outside, which was completely different from her previous tomboy look.
"You don't have to attend the dinner, why buy anything?" Ren Suo shook his head.
"I'll need it sooner or later. I'll need to look for a job after graduation, and I'll need to wear it when taking graduation photos..."
"There are still a few years to go!" Ren Suo continued to shake his head.
"Wouldn't it be better to buy it first?" Ren Xingmei asked with a pursed mouth.
“No, if you get fat in a few years and can’t wear it, then it will be a waste of money.” Ren Suo’s head shook like a wind chime.
"Negative emotions from Ren Xingmei, +233"
Ren Xingmei poked Ren Suo's waist hard and said, "You treat your sister like this? You need something from me."
Ren Suo was stunned for a moment before he remembered: "How is Qin Lian?"
Ren Suo had previously promised to help Yu Kuangtu take care of Qin Lian at school, but Ren Suo did so in order to avoid suspicion, because he had no reason to get close to Qin Lian, and because he was too lazy to go out. It just so happened that Ren Xingmei was in the same class as Qin Lian, and although classes in college meant attending classes together, there was no doubt that Ren Xingmei could easily get close to Qin Lian.
Naturally, he outsourced this task to his sister, asking her to make friends with Qin Lian and indirectly pay attention to Qin Lian's life.
"Good personality, good looks, hardworking, frugal, likes reading and playing the harmonica, very popular in the class, measurements are..." Ren Xingmei had many compliments. She glanced at Ren Suo obliquely and asked, "Your friend...isn't it from the 'I have a friend' series?"
Ren Suo did not say that Yu Kuangtu was Qin Lian's boyfriend. After all, Yu Kuangtu seemed to have a lot of concerns. If the two of them did not take the initiative to say it, Ren Suo would not gossip behind their backs, let alone spread rumors - it didn't matter if he exposed something like Yu Kuangtu being lazy and not going to work.
He just told Ren Xingmei that Qin Lian’s boyfriend asked him to take care of Qin Lian. Now Ren Xingmei actually guessed that he was that boyfriend?
However, listening to Xingmei's description, Yu Kuangtu seemed to have found a treasure this time. He didn't know if it was because he had used up all his life's luck.
At this time, Dong Chengling came over curiously and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing!" Ren Xingmei rolled her eyes, squeezed between Ren Suo and Dong Chengling, and said with a smile: "I was just reporting the private situation of a female classmate to my brother!"
Hey, hey, hey, although what you said is the truth, why do you make me sound like a vicious pervert who uses his sister to explore the way?
Ren Suo could hear his own negative emotional prompts, but Ren Xingmei still pretended to be innocent and observed Dong Chengling's expression - if Bai Ji or other men were present, she would never act like this. Instead, she would try her best to protect Ren Suo and think about Ren Suo.
She didn't know what she was thinking. If someone stood against Ren Suo, then she would definitely stand on Ren Suo's side; but if no one stood against Ren Suo, then...
Dong Chengling looked at Ren Suo with interest. Ren Suo shrugged and did not tell Yu Kuangtu. He just said that a friend asked him to take care of Qin Lian.
Then Dong Chengling believed it directly and nodded: "Qin Lian? Oh, she happens to be one of the students I am responsible for. I remember this student. She has great potential... Since she is your friend, Ren Suo, I should pay more attention to her."
Dong Chengling thought for a moment and said, "The academy plans to organize a 'hard training class' starting in October based on my training intensity. It will last for a semester. I will select the list myself, so I will select Qin Lian."
Ren Suo naturally would not and had no right to reject such kindness on behalf of Qin Lian, so he could only light a candle for Yu Kuangtu silently - according to Dong Chengling's training intensity, you two will not have the chance to fall in love after October.
When they arrived at the clothing store chosen by Gu Yueyan, the young waitress came over to greet them. However, she was slightly stunned when she saw Ren Suo, and asked hesitantly, "Senior Brother Ren Suo?"
Ren Suo blinked and stared at the waitress for a long time, then suddenly remembered: "Li Ke'er?"
"Brother, do you know her?" Ren Xingmei took a closer look at the girl - why is she so pretty?
She remembered that Ren Suo was studying Buddhism. Could it be that he saved up his luck in college and then he had a burst of success after graduation?
"Oh, I met him through a blind date." Ren Suo said bluntly.
Ren Xingmei: “Oh~”
Dong Chengling: “Oh.”
Gu Yueyan: "Oh?"
Lin Xianyu was licking two ice creams outside the store.
Li Keer glanced at them, seemed to realize something, and laughed softly.
"Brother, stop kidding. We wanted to consult about the civil service exam content at that time, and my roommate's mother knew your mother, so we arranged to have a chat. The older generation treats everything as a blind date."
Li Ke'er is a freshman whom Ren Suo met through a blind date arranged by Ren's mother when he was still in the Countermeasures Bureau and the revival of spiritual energy was still quite secretive. Ren Suo recognized Li Ke'er and Xia Lingyu as awakened ones at that time, so he introduced them to the situation of civil servants in detail, and vaguely hinted that the country would have other resettlement strategies for awakened ones, and asked them to wait for the time being.
At that time, neither Ren Suo nor Li Ke'er had expected that a few months later, even a super school would be established.
The world is developing so fast that it is beyond everyone's expectations.
"Is this a part-time job?" Ren Suo asked curiously.
"Yes, come and do part-time work when you are free on weekends."
"Students should focus on their studies. Would you like to consider Tianlian College?" Ren Suo reminded him implicitly.
There is no doubt that for young people of Li Keer's age, if they want to practice, entering a supernatural school is the best choice, followed by the military and civil service. After all, the latter two are similar to "part-time work and study", and cannot be compared with students in terms of practice time and spell learning.
Li Keer blinked and looked at Ren Suo, shaking her head gently: "No need, I think it's fine now."
At this time, a middle-aged couple came into the store. The well-dressed woman saw Li Keer and immediately walked over quickly: "Miss Li, I have to trouble you again this time. I told my husband that the clothes you make are much more comfortable than other custom-made ones, but he didn't believe it. Can you make a set for him to help me vent my anger."
Li Keer smiled and said, "Thank you for your support, Mrs. Gao. You brought your sisters last time, and this time you brought your husband..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Good things need to be known to everyone." The woman grabbed Li Ke'er's hand and looked at Ren Suo and the others: "Are there any guests? Then we'll go sit down and wait for you."
"good."
The middle-aged couple walked towards the reception area, and along the way, you could hear the middle-aged man arguing with the woman, saying "You are too young", "You are wasting time and money", "Have you been cheated", etc.
"Can you also make custom clothes?" Gu Yueyan was also a little interested in Li Ke'er. Being able to make custom clothes was considered a rare skill these days. Not only could this freshman girl do it, but she could also attract customers to recommend her spontaneously?
"I know a little bit. Occasionally I sell my clothes to customers to make some extra money. Fortunately, the owner doesn't mind." Li Keer said with a smile.
Gu Yueyan asked: "Then why don't you work part-time at a real custom shop? This shop only sells ready-made clothes."
"If you go to a custom shop, customers will only go there to see the master craftsman. A newcomer like me won't have much chance to make clothes for a few years, and I won't be able to make a name for myself. Besides, being an apprentice is much harder than being a clerk..."
Li Keer said: "It's better to be a waiter in the store, and you can also have the opportunity to sell the clothes you make... I've gone off topic, but do you want custom clothes?"
"She and I are buying formal clothes." Ren Suo pointed at himself and Dong Chengling.
It didn't take much time to buy clothes, but Ren Suo felt that the clothes were a little tight after trying them on. However, Gu Yueyan and Li Ke'er thought it was okay: "Everyone's body shape is slightly different. The clothes in the clothing store are all standard body shapes, and formal wear is the most prominent in male body shapes. It's normal for them to be a little tight."
In addition, as expected of a store recommended by Gu Yueyan, you get what you pay for - it's so expensive that it's basically equivalent to the total price of all the clothes Ren Suo has bought since he was a child.
However, Ren Suo had just received his salary a few days ago and was feeling inflated, so he simply paid himself and Dong Chengling.
But after going out, he couldn't just go back like that. After Ren Suo finished buying clothes, it was naturally the turn of others to buy. Ren Suo had no choice but to go shopping with them.
Watching the man and four women leave, Li Ke'er thought to herself how interesting it was. When she first met him, she had no idea that this senior brother had such potential.
But, didn't he notice the change in the atmosphere just now? How dare he say that...
—————
While waiting for the students to try on their clothes, Dong Chengling suddenly said, "That girl is an awakener."
Dong Chengling used a declarative tone, and Ren Suo did not refute but just nodded.
"Her awakening spell is related to hands."
This made Ren Suo feel surprised: "Why?"
"Her hands are very beautiful, more beautiful than any other part of her body. This is the effect that can only be produced when the spiritual energy only washes over certain parts of the body without any overall training."
The awakening spell is related to hands. I like making clothes and it is well received...
Ren Suo naturally wondered whether Li Keer's awakening spell was related to tailoring.
"It seems that she has no intention of entering the national practitioner system." Ren Suo sighed.
"As long as it's not illegal and there's no vicious competition, it's not a bad idea to make money by awakening spells and live a peaceful and ordinary life." Dong Chengling said, "As long as you like it, it's fine."
In this world, there are truth seekers like Dong Chengling, tax thieves like Ren Suo, and of course, ordinary people like Li Keer who are content with a life of small happiness.
There is no high or low lifestyle, but the life you choose is the best life.
We had Japanese food outside in the evening, and Ren Suo left in a hurry halfway through the meal - to go rehearse.
There are small fortunes, but of course there are also pretentious people like Zhao Huo.
Zhao Huo directly rented a large dance studio as a rehearsal venue, saying it was for a stage play. However, the person in charge suspected that they were fighting inside when he saw the broken weapons after each rehearsal.
"Do a somersault and then chop!"
"Don't dodge, use your head to block the machete!"
"What are you afraid of? It's your lower genitals. If it gets damaged, you can heal it yourself."
If Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were not in the same camp, Ren Suo would have no chance, otherwise he would have hacked Zhao Huo, the idiot, to death.
After rehearsing for two hours, the dance studio was filled with their sweat, so everyone stopped to take a break.
At this time, a girl used a hot towel to wipe Zhao Huo's sweat and handed him hot water. Zhao Huo thanked her and discussed the details of the stage play with her while laughing.
During these few days, Ren Suo naturally knew the names of the other members of the stage play. The girl's name was Sun Shu, and it was said that she was friends with Zhao Huo in the same club when they were in college.
When Sun Shu was interacting with Zhao Huo, Ren Suo discovered that other people would actively avoid them and speak in lower voices to create an environment where they would not be disturbed.
However, didn’t Zhao Huo notice the change in the atmosphere? That’s amazing…
"The rehearsal is basically complete... By the way, Ren Suo, there will be an exchange dinner tomorrow night, have you bought formal clothes?" Zhao Huo suddenly asked.
"Do I look like someone without formal attire?" Ren Suo was very dissatisfied.
"Just buy it... Do you know English?" Zhao Huo asked again.
“I’m pretty good at swearing in games,” Ren Suo said.
Zhao Huo said with a smile: "Then you can go and cool off by yourself tomorrow night and watch me chatting and laughing with the foreign guests."
"Tsk, is it really that fun to chat with foreigners?" Ren Suo snorted coldly.
Zhao Huo wanted to say something, but held back: "You will regret it then."
