Chapter 129 Just Because I Gave You a Glance in the Crowd (10,000-Word Update, Please Subscribe)
"The Celestial Empire originally did not have a Chinese Costume Festival. The Chinese Costume Festival was created when someone walked down the street wearing a Chinese costume."
The real Chinese fashion festival hasn't even started yet, but the pre-festival hype has already begun as you walk down the street.
A group of handsome men and beautiful women dressed in gorgeous clothes walked side by side, becoming the most beautiful sight on the street.
At this moment, Nie Qiuqin and Xia Youyou had not yet changed into their beloved gorgeous clothes, and the two of them were so envious that they were practically drooling.
Xia Youyou explained the origins of the Chinese Costume Festival to Nie Qiuqin. She had longed to attend the festival for a long time, and this time her wish had finally come true.
Nie Qiuqin's eyes darted around excitedly. After listening to Xia Youyou's story, she couldn't wait to put on her gorgeous clothes and join the others.
"I never knew that Chinese costumes were so beautiful; they are absolutely gorgeous."
Along the way, Nie Qiuqin witnessed a wide variety of gorgeous clothes, which looked as if they were tailor-made for anyone, leaving her dazzled.
"If traditional Chinese clothing were more suitable for everyday life, it would probably have become popular all over the country long ago."
"The beauty of clothing is called 'Hua' (华), which is enough to illustrate the significance of Huafu (华服) to the Celestial Empire."
"What about the kimono?"
Listening to Xia Youyou's introduction to Chinese clothing, Nie Qiuqin thought of kimonos and asked a question.
"kimono?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Youyou chuckled softly.
"Haven't you noticed that kimonos and traditional Chinese clothing look very similar?"
"On the internet, some people always say that Chinese clothing looks like a kimono, which is really laughable."
"Who would say that ancestors are like grandsons?"
Listening to Xia Youyou's introduction, Nie Qiuqin nodded in sudden understanding.
"Let's go grab something to eat first. The Chinese Costume Festival doesn't start until tomorrow; that's when the main event begins."
Xia Youyou pulled Nie Qiuqin aside and said, "At the Chinese Costume Festival, in addition to wearing beautiful Chinese costumes, we can also eat a lot of delicious food."
...
On their way to get food, Xia Youyou and Nie Qiuqin encountered a group of people meeting at the train station.
Tall and slender, with a slightly refined air, Liu Wei stood at the station entrance, craning his neck in anticipation.
"They're here, they're here."
Upon seeing the familiar figure in the photo, Liu Wei immediately addressed the group behind him, who all looked ready to go.
As Zhang San walked out of the customs gate with his suitcase, he looked around and soon spotted Liu Wei.
The two had exchanged photos and made video calls, and had also discussed their attire beforehand, so it was easy for them to recognize each other.
Upon seeing Liu Wei, Zhang San raised his hand to greet him and walked towards him.
But when the two sides were less than five meters apart, the group of people behind Liu Wei suddenly took out tools and started banging gongs and drums, and also took out banners.
The banner read: "Welcome to the madman Zhang San, the peerless one."
Upon seeing this, Zhang San froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded, his mind going blank.
Liu Wei walked up to Zhang San, laughing heartily. A crowd of people surrounded him, banging drums and gongs, giving him a warm welcome.
"Holy crap, Lao Liu, what are you doing?" It took Zhang San a long time to react, and a rare look of shame appeared on his face.
That's so damn embarrassing!
This is going to kill me on the spot!
Especially when he noticed the strange looks from the passersby, Zhang San wished he could disappear into a hole.
Seeing Zhang San's expression, Liu Wei laughed and said, "How about it? This welcome ceremony is quite generous, isn't it?"
"I wish I could strangle you right now, so get out of here." Zhang San covered his face and laughed.
"Wait, Jue Lun hasn't arrived yet," Liu Wei said, pulling Zhang San aside.
"Hey, speak of the devil and he appears."
As they were talking, Liu Wei caught a glimpse of an exceptionally beautiful figure out of the corner of his eye.
With a wave of his hand, he recreated the scene from before.
Who would have thought that after a brief moment of astonishment, Jue Lun would start swaying to the beat of the drums.
Such a reasonable response left Zhang San speechless with surprise.
"Haha, you are Liu Wei, you are Zhang San, and I am Jue Lun."
Jue Lun said happily.
"He's very handsome, just like I was back in my prime," Liu Wei said, looking at Jue Lun.
"How unlucky I am to have run into two oddballs like you!" Only Zhang San sighed.
The two men exchanged a smile, and then the three of them left the station amidst the sound of gongs and drums.
...
The next day.
The long-awaited Chinese clothing festival has finally begun.
The event was unprecedented in scale.
Absolutely beautiful.
Compared to yesterday's scattered warm-up, today's scene is completely different.
It's as if you've been transported back to ancient times, and you're immersed in a past era.
Countless people, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, strolled through the streets, showcasing the unique beauty of China.
The diverse array of clothing forms a cultural torrent, constantly purifying the hearts of onlookers.
They used simple fabrics and the most basic colors to weave a rainbow of hues.
When these colors adorn exquisite, poetic garments, the resulting impact is beyond words.
Only Xia Youyou and Nie Qiuqin, dressed in their finest attire, could truly understand this feeling.
The two walked hand in hand down the street, their steps light and graceful, exuding the elegance and poise of women from ancient times.
Seeing the various expressions on the faces of passersby, the two couldn't help but feel a sense of national pride.
"Old Liu, use all your professional skills. Don't let anyone get away. Film them all."
Among the onlookers lining both sides of the street, Liu Wei and his two companions were clearly visible.
The three were also dressed in fine clothes, but they did not participate in the outing.
