Chapter 97 I'll do it myself
When the model stood fully center stage and turned to face the audience, the room erupted in gasps and applause. The audience rose to their feet, their gazes filled with shock and admiration. They felt as if they were truly witnessing a stroll through the galaxy, sensing the romance and mystery of the universe. Even the judges in the audience shared a rare expression of admiration, whispering to one another and praising the dress's design endlessly.
Zhang Zihan's work not only won unanimous praise from the judges, but also sparked widespread discussion and praise on the Internet, adding a lot of highlights to today's finals.
Mu Nanyan stood aside, her hands clasped tightly together, her eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and helplessness. She watched the other designers' works appear one by one, and she couldn't help but sweat for her own work. She knew that Elena's lateness might have an unpredictable impact on her competition, but she could only pray silently, hoping that Elena would arrive as soon as possible.
Mu Nanyan kept looking towards the entrance, hoping that Elena would appear soon. Zhou Ruxuan was busy sorting various items, trying to hide her inner anxiety.
However, as time passed, Elena still did not show up. Mu Nanyan's face became more and more solemn. She knew that whether her work could shine on this stage depended largely on Elena's performance.
As the show progressed, the audience cheered. However, when the 20th model walked off the stage, Elena still did not appear.
Mu Nanyan's heart was in her throat. She called Elena again, but this time, she heard a cold "No one answered the call you made."
"What should I do, Yanyan? Elena hasn't arrived yet. If she doesn't come soon, it will be too late. We still need to do her makeup and accessories."
Zhou Ruxuan was extremely anxious, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands, her eyes full of panic. Mu Nanyan was also extremely anxious, but she knew that she couldn't panic. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Looking at the carefully designed finale dress, she felt a surge of determination in her heart:
"I'll do it myself."
"But Yanyan, you don't look stunning like a runway show. Is this okay?"
"It has to happen no matter what. There is no time left. We can't put all our hopes on Elena."
Mu Nanyan quickly picked up her needle and thread and altered the dress's size on the spot. Her fingers deftly worked through the fabric, each stitch and thread embodying her painstaking effort and hope. Finally, before going on stage, she had completed the alterations.
Zhou Ruxuan and other staff members hurriedly helped Mu Nanyan with her makeup and styling. Fortunately, they completed the makeup at the last moment before going on stage.
"Next, let's welcome the next entry, Moonlight Flowing, designed by Pinshang Clothing Store's senior designer, Mu Nanyan. Inspired by the "moon" and "clouds" in traditional Chinese culture, combined with modern Western tailoring, the dress creates a look that combines the classical elegance of the East with the simplicity and grandeur of the West."
The music started, the spotlights shone on the catwalk, and Mu Nanyan walked out gracefully in a moon-shadow flowing dress. At that moment, she seemed to have become the focus of everyone's attention. The flowing light on the dress shimmered in the light, complementing her elegant steps, a breathtaking beauty.
"Wow, what did I see? The finale dress was actually presented by the designer herself."
In the center of the T-stage where the spotlights were slowly converging, Mu Nanyan, wearing "Moon Shadow Flowing Light", slowly stepped onto the stage where light and shadow intertwined.
The dress was crafted from a light, transparent tulle, resembling the softest moonlight in the night sky, gently shimmering down upon the world, hazy yet pure. Beneath the tulle, delicate silver thread embroidered into an exquisite, flowing pattern, swaying with Mu Nanyan's steps, like the brightest stars in the Milky Way, silently radiating their own light.
The hem of her dress cleverly incorporated layered tulle, which drifted gently like clouds with every step, retaining the tranquility of moonlight while adding a sense of flowing beauty, like the shimmering surface of a lake under the moonlight, a breathtaking beauty. Mu Nanyan's figure, against the backdrop of this dress, appeared even more graceful, and every turn and glance back seemed to demonstrate to the world the essence of "incomparable" beauty.
There was a faint smile on her face, and her eyes were shining with confidence and gentleness, as if she was the brightest star on the stage, blending perfectly with the "moonlight and shadows", weaving a dream feast of beauty.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and all eyes were attracted by this moonlight-like figure, unable to look away, leaving only endless admiration and aftertaste.
In the audience, exclamations echoed one after another. Even Lu Yiran in the audience was attracted by Mu Nanyan. His eyes followed her figure closely, his eyes flashing with amazement.
Lu Yiran sat in the front row of the audience, his eyes locked on the radiant Mu Nanyan on the catwalk. The dress shone with a faint silver glow on her body, complementing her every light step, like the most moving poem under the moonlight.
Mu Nanyan's face looked even more delicate under the light. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes showing both pride in her work and love for the stage. This confidence and composure made Lu Yiran's heart tremble involuntarily.
Lu Yiran felt as if he were being pulled by an invisible force, unable to take his eyes off Mu Nanyan. Her beauty wasn't just about her stunning appearance; it was also about the unique aura that emanated from within, a persistent pursuit of beauty and a profound understanding of it. At this moment, Lu Yiran was deeply drawn to Mu Nanyan. Her every move, every glance, stirred ripples in his heart, leaving him irresistibly captivated by this feast of beauty.
This was the first time Lu Yiran saw Mu Nanyan like this, so dazzling, completely different from the previous Mu Nanyan.
It seemed that no matter what Mu Nanyan looked like, Lu Yiran's heart was moved, but when he thought of what Mu Nanyan said that day, his heart felt as if it was stabbed by a knife.
"Mu Yang, stop it, I'm so tired."
The love in Lu Yiran's eyes disappeared in an instant, and his eyes were sharp, staring at Mu Nanyan. Mu Nanyan seemed to have sensed something, and while standing on the stage, she couldn't help but glance down at the audience. She saw Lu Yiran at a glance and her face was filled with shock.
"Lu Yiran? Why is he here? Is he here to watch the game as well? Is he here for me? Or is it just a coincidence?"
Xu Nanxing, who was sitting next to Lu Yiran, naturally noticed the interaction between the two. She was jealous to the point of madness. If she had known that Mu Nanyan was actually participating in this competition, she would never let Lu Yiran come to watch the game.
