But Jia Yunxin also has busy times. Usually, at these times, she would lie in bed in a daze. Suddenly, her phone alarm rang, and she reached out and touched her phone before finally finding it.
Upon seeing the note, I immediately sat up. Jia Yunxin had been away on a business trip for a week, and today was the day she was to return.
She was about to make a call to Jia Yunxin when she was drawn to the "baby clothes design" notification.
Just as I was about to click on it, my phone rang.
"Ring ring ring—"
"Hey, Yunxin..." she said as she went downstairs, with Aunt Wu following behind.
After hanging up the phone, she went to the living room and sat down to wait for Jia Yunxin. She wanted to find the advertisement from earlier, but she couldn't find it.
A short while later, the doorbell rang, and Aunt Wu went to open the door.
After several visits, Jia Yunxin recognized Aunt Wu and greeted her politely.
Aunt Wu quickly moved aside to let her in.
"Anran! Look what I brought!" Jia Yunxin walked in excitedly, taking Gu Anran's arm.
Gu Anran looked at her fair hands, and a look of confusion slowly appeared on her face.
Just as she was about to ask her, a big man came in from outside, carrying a lot of things, which really startled Aunt Wu.
"What is this?" Gu Anran asked curiously.
“Don’t you like design? Design requires sketches, right? And I just saw that drawing and design can develop a baby’s intelligence to some extent.” Yun Xin explained as she took it out.
"These are all for pregnant women." She looked at her expectantly, hoping she would like them.
Gu Anran stared in disbelief as she took the bag full of sketching pens and paints.
"Thank you. Li Chuan wouldn't let me touch design, saying I should take good care of myself during my pregnancy. Now I finally have a reason."
She leaned on Jia Yunxin's shoulder, deeply moved.
After Jia Yunxin left, Aunt Wu moved the items to the empty room upstairs in batches. Gu Anran looked at the blank paper in front of her, had a lot of ideas in her mind, arranged the materials, and then began to design based on her inspiration.
A comfortable and gentle breeze stirred her clothes and hair. Gu Anran looked at the distant sea and unconsciously sketched a picture in her hand. After snapping out of her reverie, she looked at the painting in front of her with a little pride. Indeed, design and painting are the same.
She came downstairs to check the design drafts on her computer and happened to run into Xiaotian.
"Mom, I haven't seen Dad these past few days. Where did he go?"
Ye Lichuan has been dealing with branch office matters these past few days, so Gu Anran has rarely seen him, let alone Gu Xiaotian.
"Dad is busy. Xiaotian, is there something you need from Dad?"
Gu Xiaotian shook his head, sighed, and told Gu Anran about his idea of asking his father for a new set of exercises after he finished them. He then added that he was really bored.
Hearing her say that, Gu Anran had a flash of inspiration. Maybe she could cultivate a new hobby for Xiaotian.
Gu Anran smiled and put her arm around Xiao Tian as they went to the place she usually designed.
The two took all the materials to the rooftop. "How about I do the design and you draw?"
“Okay,” Gu Xiaotian immediately agreed.
Looking at the canvas, Gu Anran began to conceive a design, while Gu Xiaotian, on the other hand, quickly finished half of his drawing. He painted a picture of blue sky, white clouds, sea, and sand, with a naive yet vivid color palette.
Gu Anran clicked her tongue in amazement, looking at his proud little face, and an idea came to her mind. She quickly transferred the inspiration in her mind onto paper.
"Mom, is that me?"
"That's right, Xiaotian is so smart." Gu Anran rubbed Xiaotian's head.
"Mom never knew you could design children's clothing."
Looking at the artwork in front of her, Gu Anran realized that she had never really thought about children before, and wondered if she could develop in that direction in the future.
Xiao Tian looked at his mother with a blank expression, not understanding why she was laughing so heartily.
Since that day, Gu Anran has started to design her own clothing styles and patterns. Her ideas are wild and imaginative. She guessed that many parents might not be able to accept clothes with such different styles.
The doorbell rang, and Aunt Wu wiped her hands clean and went to open the door.
"Mrs. Huo, please come in." She greeted her with a smile.
Jia Yunxin responded and went into the house, but after looking around, she didn't see anyone.
"Madam is upstairs doing design work. Shall I take you up, or will you wait here?"
"Take me there. Does Anran design things every day?"
"Indeed, Madam is absolutely enamored with those designs." Aunt Wu became much more talkative when discussing Gu Anran's designs.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked upstairs.
Gu Anran could hear the commotion outside even through the door. She put down her pen, opened the door, and ran into Jia Yunxin.
"Yunxin, you're here! Why didn't you say anything? You even had to come all the way up here."
Jia Yunxin held Gu Anran's hand, her gaze drifting involuntarily to her artwork.
Aunt Wu said goodbye and left. Jia Yunxin stood at the door. "What, you won't let me in?" she joked, which made Gu Anran glare at her before leading her to the table, where the draft she had just designed was placed.
Looking at the distinctively personal design draft, Jia Yunxin's eyes widened in surprise. She hadn't expected children's clothes to be like this. "Anran, did you design this?"
Gu Anran smiled and nodded, watching the dazed person slowly return to normal. Just as she was about to invite her to sit down, Jia Yunxin suddenly stared at her.
"Can you design one for my Xiaomu?" Jia Yunxin asked coquettishly, shaking Gu Anran's hand from side to side.
Given their relationship, Gu Anran naturally agreed. After finding out what Xiao Mu liked, Gu Anran began to sketch a draft.
"I'll give you a rough draft. My ideas might differ from yours. We'll revise it after the draft is finished," Gu Anran said as she drafted the outline. Jia Yunxin nodded quickly.
After drafting the manuscript, Jia Yunxin was quite satisfied with the work and only raised one minor suggestion.
After finishing the drawing, Jia Yunxin looked at the design draft in front of her. She had known about her design talent for a long time, but she was still shocked to see it in person.
She painted an entire series, from infancy to adolescence, using the same colors and different patterns to depict a child's growth.
Faced with her praise, Gu Anran was a little embarrassed, but a lot of creative ideas flashed through her mind. Based on Jia Yunxin's needs, Gu Anran drew several more design drafts and asked the cooperating factory to open a back door and rush to produce them.
This was her first time designing children's clothing, so she was inevitably a little nervous. However, Jia Yunxin praised it highly after seeing it, which put her at ease.
"If you like it, then let Xiaomu try it."
Jia Yunxin took out the smallest set for her son to try on, and his adorable appearance melted the hearts of the two women.
Gu Anran began to seriously study children's clothing and watch various fashion weeks, while Jia Yunxin would also discuss the design styles of children's clothing with her from time to time.
