Chapter 156
Lu Zhuoxuan was naturally very familiar with the cheongsam that Ji Wanmei was wearing.
Every day when he came home, he would see his grandmother wearing glasses, personally embroidering on the soft silk, stitch by stitch.
Lu Zhuoxuan felt sorry for his grandmother, who was so old and didn't take care of her health.
Instead of enjoying his retirement at home, he insisted on personally taking on a disciple.
Because his grandmother was in poor health, Lu Zhuoxuan was somewhat dissatisfied with the owner of the cheongsam.
He guessed that it was some spoiled young lady from a powerful and wealthy family who was begging and pestering his grandmother to do it herself, relying on her family connections.
Lu Zhuoxuan even thought that if he met the owner of this cheongsam, he would very 'politely' tell her not to come again next time.
But now, Lu Zhuoxuan saw that cheongsam on Ji Wanmei.
All his previous assumptions about the owner of the cheongsam were instantly overturned at this moment.
She was not a spoiled young lady, but a quietly blooming magnolia.
Lu Zhuoxuan had been wondering how thin and small a person would have to be to fit into such a narrow waist; it was probably a middle school student who hadn't grown up yet.
But now, seeing Ji Wanmei, seeing her waist, Lu Zhuoxuan couldn't help but think of a beautiful ancient poem:
'Her body is so slender it seems boneless, her waist is so delicate it feels light in the palm of your hand.'
That description probably refers to the waist of the girl in front of me.
Although her waist was slender, she was not a thin and frail figure.
The well-tailored cheongsam accentuated her straight shoulders and neck, making them appear as long and flowing as a swan's. Her black hair cascaded down her front like a waterfall, and her chest was perfectly proportioned, full and shapely. Her waist and hips were rounded like peach blossoms, and her straight legs were faintly visible through the side slit of the cheongsam.
Lu Zhuoxuan abruptly withdrew his gaze, realizing that he had been impolite and out of control.
He shouldn't be staring at girls like that.
Lu Zhuoxuan was never a frivolous man who would stare blankly at a girl.
It's no wonder that Lu Zhuoxuan could see Ji Wanmei's figure so clearly and meticulously at a glance.
He wasn't trying to look at him intentionally.
It's because Ji Wanmei's figure looked so curvaceous and shapely in this cheongsam that everyone's eyes were inevitably drawn to her beautiful feminine lines.
She was absolutely stunning.
Standing in this century-old shop, she attracts more attention than any wooden mannequin dressed in its signature dress.
"That's right, this is my good-for-nothing grandson." At this moment, Grandma Song introduced him to Ji Wanmei with a smile, speaking very modestly.
"His name is Lu Zhuoxuan. He grew up by my side since he was little. He's three years older than you. Speaking of which, you two even went to the same university!"
Ji Wanmei smiled and glanced at senior Lu Zhuoxuan, then said to Grandma Song, "That's right, I've met senior Lu. He even gave a speech as a student representative at our freshman orientation ceremony last week. Grandma Song, your grandson is truly a handsome young man."
Ji Wanmei said this in response to Grandma Song, hoping to say a few nice words to make the old lady happy.
Besides, Lu Zhuoxuan is an outstanding student representative, so this is not flattery but an objective evaluation.
But when Lu Zhuoxuan heard Ji Wanmei praise him for his good looks, even though he was already used to being flattered and praised by others, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"You flatter me, junior," Lu Zhuoxuan said with a smile to Ji Wanmei. "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Lu Zhuoxuan, I'm twenty-one years old, and I'm from the School of Computer Science. It's a pleasure to meet you. What's your name, junior?"
As he spoke, Lu Zhuoxuan extended his right hand to Ji Wanmei.
This is a very Western-style handshake.
It has begun to become widespread and popular on university campuses today.
Seeing that Senior Lu spoke with a gentle and refined manner, giving people a feeling of warmth and comfort, Ji Wanmei also extended her hand generously and said with a smile, "Hello, senior, my name is Ji Wanmei, and I am a freshman in the Department of Management this year. Please take care of me in the future."
Grandma Song watched with a smile as the two young people got to know each other, especially her grandson's slightly reserved and nervous appearance. She smiled to herself without saying a word.
Ji Wanmei didn't plan to wear this cheongsam forever. She was going to Shuxiu Hall to learn embroidery later, and it wouldn't be very convenient to do things while wearing this.
She said, "Grandma Song, I'll go change out of my cheongsam first. Please wait for me a moment."
"Okay, go ahead," Grandma Song said with a smile.
When Ji Wanmei entered the changing room, Lu Zhuoxuan still seemed a little absent-minded, having completely forgotten that his original purpose for coming was to pick up his grandmother and take her home for lunch.
"Zhuo Xuan, what are you doing here?" Grandma Song glanced at him.
"Grandma, I've come to pick you up so we can go home for lunch." Lu Zhuoxuan touched his nose.
"I won't be going at noon. I'll go to Shuxiutang to eat with the embroiderers. You go home first," Grandma Song said.
Lu Zhuoxuan immediately said, "Then I'll drive you there."
Grandma Song gave him a half-smile and a reproachful look: "You brat, don't think Grandma doesn't know what you're thinking. Didn't you object to Grandma going to the embroidery shop to touch needles and thread before? How come the sun rose in the west today, and you're offering to take Grandma there?"
Lu Zhuoxuan smiled and said, "Anyway, Grandma, once you've made up your mind, when can I stop you? Rather than that, I might as well take care of picking you up and dropping you off and be your driver, so you don't have to go through the trouble of running back and forth every day."
Grandma Song chuckled, helplessly poking his forehead, "Go away, you're always saying nice things to flatter this old woman!"
