As expected, Chi Beibei received a notification that she had passed the school anniversary audition.
On Saturday, Chi Beibei arrived at Sheng's house as promised.
Sheng Yuanyuan had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Chi Beibei, she ran to her side.
Chi Beibei took off his helmet and asked, "Yuanyuan, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, Beibei, let's go in quickly." Sheng Yuanyuan excitedly grabbed Chi Beibei's hand and brought her into the house.
Aunt Pei helped them get slippers.
When they were changing shoes, Jiang Lanxue came out after hearing the noise and asked softly, "Is Beibei here?"
Her makeup is dignified and elegant, and the years seem to have left no trace on her face. She wears a cotton and linen shirt with a retro maxi skirt. Her eyes blink slightly, and she looks like a classical beauty who has walked out of a painting, indescribably gentle and lively.
Even though it wasn't the first time they met, Chi Beibei was still a little dazed.
Snowball patted Chi Beibei on the shoulder with his claws: "Host, wake up!"
"Hello, Auntie."
Jiang Lanxue's smile deepened. She asked Chi Beibei to sit in the living room and made her a cup of tea. "Beibei, you must be thirsty after all the journey. Have a cup of tea first."
"By the way, Auntie cut some fruit." Jiang Lanxue turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Aunt Sheng’s enthusiasm made Chi Beibei feel a little overwhelmed, or even flattered.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Jiang Lanxue quickly brought out two fruit platters: "I don't know what kind of fruits you like to eat, Beibei, so I just prepared some at random."
"Thank you, Auntie." Chi Beibei smiled shyly and ate some strawberries under Jiang Lanxue's gaze.
Snowball was not at all restrained. He quickly took a cherry and held it in his two little paws, with his cheeks puffed up.
Sheng Yuanyuan picked up a piece of Hami melon with a small fork and ate it in small bites.
After a short rest, Sheng Yuanyuan suggested: "Mom, shall we take Beibei to look at clothes first?"
Chi Beibei was confused: "What clothes?"
"Beibei, didn't I tell you before that my mother can also dance the classical long-sleeved dance? You can wear my mother's performance costume to the party."
Chi Beibei quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm so sorry, no need."
Jiang Lanxue insisted: "Beibei, Auntie is not dancing now, and those clothes are just taking up space." She took Chi Beibei's hand and said softly: "Go with Auntie first."
Chi Beibei's body was slightly stiff, and he was taken to the third floor by Aunt Sheng.
There is a special room on the third floor for Jiang Lanxue's dance costumes. After opening the door of the cloakroom, what comes into view is a row of exquisite dresses, almost every one of which is a fine product.
Jiang Lanxue picked up the remote control beside her and pressed it. The wardrobe in front of her rotated to reveal a dance costume that was placed separately.
This was made by Lao Hua, a famous domestic clothing master.
The skirt is a frosty color, with delicate orchid embroidery on the cuffs. The pleats of the skirt flow like snow and moonlight on the ground. The soft light from the top of the wardrobe shines down, making it magnificent.
Jiang Lanxue took it off, handed it to Chi Beibei, and said with a smile: "Beibei, try this one."
Chi Beibei hesitated for a moment. It could be seen that this dance costume was very valuable and Aunt Sheng seemed to cherish it very much.
Just let her wear it like this?
Jiang Lanxue smiled and said, "Beibei, do you dislike your aunt?"
"No." Chi Beibei hurriedly explained.
Sheng Yuanyuan couldn't wait any longer. She pushed Chi Beibei to the dressing room and said, "Hey, Beibei, why don't you try it on?"
While Chi Beibei was changing her clothes, Jiang Lanxue also found the matching dance shoes and headdress.
Sheng Yuanyuan was walking back and forth in the cloakroom, with a snowball quietly landing on her shoulder. She put her little paws behind her back and looked down at the dazzling array of clothes, like an emperor hesitating about which concubine to choose to sleep with him.
"Mom, this one is also nice. Let's keep it for Beibei?" Sheng Yuanyuan pointed to a white gauze dance dress that was embroidered with blooming red plums and the hem was decorated with small silver bells.
Sheng Yuanyuan remembered that the dress Chi Beibei wore during the audition yesterday also had plum blossoms on it, and thought that maybe she liked red plum blossoms, so she chose this one.
"Okay." Jiang Lanxue did not hesitate.
The door of the dressing room was opened, and Chi Beibei came out wearing her dance costume. Jiang Lanxue and Sheng Yuanyuan were both stunned.
Chi Beibei gently pulled up her long, smooth, black hair, revealing her swan-like slender neck. The shape of her collarbone under her neck was very beautiful. She moved lightly with lotus steps, her figure was graceful and light, and the soft aqua-blue silk gauze outlined her slender waist that was so thin that it could be grasped with one hand. She was as beautiful as a solitary orchid in a valley.
Sheng Yuanyuan covered her face and screamed, "Wow! Beibei, I told you that you would look better in your mother's clothes."
Jiang Lanxue was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly: "Beibei, this dress suits you very well." She murmured: "It looks like me when I was young."
Sheng Yuanyuan, who was beside her, pricked up her ears and quickly flattered her: "Mom is young and beautiful, and she will never get old."
Jiang Lanxue tapped Sheng Yuanyuan's forehead affectionately: "You, if mom never gets old, won't she become a monster?"
Glancing at the accessories on the table, Jiang Lanxue asked, "Beibei, it's still early. Can auntie help you comb your hair?"
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
Jiang Lanxue led Chi Beibei to sit in front of the dressing table and used a horn comb to help her take care of her ink-like long hair.
The comb combed smoothly from top to bottom, and Jiang Lanxue said softly: "Beibei's hair is very good."
Chi Beibei saw Jiang Lanxue's focused eyes and gentle movements through the dressing mirror, and couldn't help but sigh that Aunt Sheng was really gentle.
Jiang Lanxue deftly helped her comb her hair into a high bun and fixed a light blue hair accessory on the bun that matched her dance costume. After braiding her hair, Jiang Lanxue also put some light makeup on Chi Beibei's face.
Seventeen or eighteen years old is the beautiful age of youth. With a little makeup, light lipstick, and light eyebrows, the already delicate face becomes even more beautiful, and there is a captivating meaning in the eyes.
"Tsk tsk," Snowball circled around Chi Beibei in amazement, "Host, if you were born in ancient times, you could at least become the emperor's favorite concubine."
Chi Beibei refused: "I don't want to compete for favor with the three thousand beauties in the harem."
Snowball choked and asked again: "What if the emperor is a villain? Will you compete for his favor?"
Chi Beibei paused and said lightly: "Then I don't want him."
Snowball was silent.
Sheng Yuanyuan, who was standing by, exclaimed: "Beibei, you look even better after having your hair braided. You look like a fairy."
"Mom, I also want to become an ancient beauty like Beibei."
Jiang Lanxue reluctantly followed her instructions and helped her braid a cute double-ring bun.
Sheng Yuanyuan was finally satisfied and took Chi Beibei to the dance studio to practice.
