Li Gaoyi also heard the group of people's murmurs and looked at Shen Zhizhu somewhat awkwardly.

"Sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart. They are just talking. Brother Xu is always in training and has no time to have deep social interactions with other people. It's just that Brother Xu is too good. There are always some people who like him easily even if they don't know him. This has nothing to do with Brother Xu."

He looked determined, afraid that Shen Zhizhu might misunderstand something.

"Hmm? I'm not angry, you don't have to react so strongly."

Shen Zhizhu was a little amused and helpless. She was not that kind of little girl. It was very normal for someone to like someone because of their good looks. There was no need to be jealous or angry about such things.

What's more, she knows that the other person loves her and will not socialize randomly.

"It looks like he'll still have a long time to finish, so I won't wait any longer. I need to go somewhere else. Please give him some water later. I'll leave first."

Shen Zhizhu saw that Xu Haonan was training very hard and looked very tired, so he didn't let him have dinner with him. He quickly ate something and went back to rest, so as not to wait until the afternoon when he would be so tired.

"Hey, okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely hand it over to Brother Xu safely. But you came at this time, you haven't eaten yet, right? How about we go to the cafeteria to eat together?"

Li Gaoyi put away the water and thought that at this time of the day, Shen Zhizhu would just finish class. He felt that since Xu Haonan was still in training, he, as one of Xu Haonan's few good friends at school, should help look after his brother's wife.

He felt that he had a responsibility and a duty not to allow any rift to appear in the relationship between the two.

"No, I'll just buy something to eat outside. Thank you, I'll bring you something delicious when I come back. Is there anything you want to eat?"

"In that case, I want to eat the steamed buns in the West District. I always ate them at home before, but I haven't eaten them for a while. I'm tired of them. But sister-in-law, you don't have to go there specially. Just buy something from outside. It's all good."

"Okay, I understand. I'll be leaving now."

Shen Zhizhu did not wait for Xu Haonan to finish, but rushed to some large shopping malls, where he should be able to find what he wanted.

She was relatively familiar with it, because in her previous life, she had struggled in Beijing. According to her memory, she found several pretty good shopping malls.

Although the layout inside is different from what it was decades later, it is still roughly traceable. Shen Zhizhu bought some things that might be used according to the design in his mind.

Especially the mannequins. Since they are girls' clothes, female models are chosen. The material is yellow. After all, the theme is autumn, and some red elements are added to it.

By the time she finished shopping, it was already getting dark. She followed the address Liang Fei gave her and searched for a long time before finally finding the place.

In a busy building, there is a bustling street outside, but it is very quiet inside. It is a nice place to be quiet in the midst of noise.

Moreover, this studio is really not very small. It can accommodate more than 20 people to paint here. Liang Fei is really humble.

There were some painting tools in the studio, but they were all neatly organized and covered with cloth. The whole studio was kept very clean.

"Liang Fei is really comprehensive. Even if I can rent a good studio like this, it will cost a lot of money. Okay, get something ready to use as a table and start!"

Shen Zhizhu acted immediately and was instantly filled with strength. He first cleared out the only long wooden table in the studio and placed it near the window.

Then he laid a layer of stuff on top to avoid damaging other people's tables, gave it a quick clean, and opened the windows for ventilation.

She sat down and took out her design book.

"It's a pity that the design of that version has been seen by others. I can't take the risk of what might happen in my dream. This concerns my personal reputation. It's just right for me to try the embroidery method in Teacher Zhou's book."

It’s a pity that I didn’t bring the sewing machine from home, otherwise, I could save a lot of my time.

Even if you buy it now, it is of little use, because most of them do not require sewing machines and have to be done manually.

"Let's just sketch out a rough design first."

For her design this time, the pattern and embroidery were based on what Zhou Fangyun had recorded in a book, but for the overall style, Shen Zhizhu decided to be conservative and not make too big a leap.

First, it may conflict with the style of embroidery, and second, people in this era may not be able to accept something that is too eccentric.

Thinking about the fact that Chinese traditional style elements will be popular in a few decades, the overall design is based on the Tang suit, with embroidery added to give it a sense of stability.

Shen Zhizhu, who was immersed in joy, did not feel tired. She finished the design draft in one breath and made simple annotations.

The time was too short, and she didn't have time to think over every detail before starting to make the clothes. Although this would greatly save time later, it would also easily take up time in the early stages.

In this case, a model figurine is needed.

Shen Zhizhu placed the fabric on the model, made a rough judgment, and fixed the turns with needles.

We were so busy that we worked until eight or nine o'clock.

She stood up suddenly, feeling dizzy and her stomach growled. Then Shen Zhizhu remembered that she had not eaten yet.

"Let's go eat first. It's a long night and we still have a lot to endure."

Shen Zhizhu put away the things and went to the small stall downstairs to buy some food. She then packed some for a midnight snack.

It was such a cold day, so she chose to eat dumplings. They were steaming hot and warmed her stomach. She ate more than twenty of them in one breath, and even the boss praised her for her good appetite.

Shen Zhizhu was embarrassed to say that he hadn't eaten all day.

"Boss, pack a portion, drain the water, and make some dipping sauce for me. I'll take it home to eat in the evening."

"Okay, wait."

After eating the dumplings, Shen Zhizhu felt warm all over. The wind blowing from outside even made him feel a little cool.

After returning home, she put the dumplings away from the cloth and began to decide on the materials for each part of the dress. Then, she used a piece of discarded fabric and tried her best to try out the pattern according to what was written in the book.

In this way, she wasted a lot of spare materials and finally got the hang of it. She was so happy that she stretched her body before actually starting to cut the clothes.

This process lasted until the late night. She was a little sleepy, but she had only completed one tenth of the work. There were only four days left before the competition, so she had to hurry.

She carried the packed dumplings and went outside the studio. After eating, she went back to continue.
