Mrs. Gu was the most excited about the banquet to be held for Gu Qingchi. With Gu's father making the arrangements, she didn't have to worry about anything. She only had to worry about what to wear to the banquet. This time, she had more worries as she also needed to choose a dress for Gu Qingchi.
Mrs. Gu seemed to be enjoying it.
She woke up early in the morning and made a lot of phone calls to designers, stylists, and store managers of all the stores she frequently visited.
By the time Gu Qingchi got up, there were already several rows of display racks in the living room, all hung with clothes. Next to them were rows of leather shoes and high heels, and a stylist was sorting ties and accessories into boxes.
There were half for men and half for women. A large mirror was temporarily placed in the living room. Mrs. Gu, wearing a small skirt, looked carefully at the high heels on her feet. When she saw Gu Qingchi coming down, she greeted him warmly.
"Come here, little darling, take a look and see what style you like."
Gu Xie was reading a newspaper. When he saw Gu Qingchi coming down, he put down the newspaper and brought him breakfast. He had just put his things down when Mrs. Gu greeted Gu Qingchi and heard this.
"Let me pick first. The breakfast is already out and will get cold soon."
Mrs. Gu doesn't mind, she welcomes everyone.
Gu Xie used to be very quick at choosing clothes. He would only change two sets of clothes in a few minutes.
This time, he was patient and changed whatever Mrs. Gu said. He changed several sets of clothes until Gu Qingchi put down his chopsticks. Then he quickly and firmly pointed to a set, even picking out the tie and cufflinks.
Mrs. Gu still felt a little unsatisfied and said regretfully.
"Is this the only set? I think the top over there is more fitted than this one."
Gu Xie nodded.
“I like this.”
Mrs. Gu didn't argue any further and turned her gaze to Gu Qingchi.
Gu Qingchi’s aesthetic taste is almost non-existent.
If he has any preference, it would be clothes with lots of accessories and brighter colors. He generally likes things with lots of metal buttons and chains.
Fortunately, he has a good understanding of himself and never insists on his own opinion. He just wears whatever others say is fine.
Until now, the clothes he wore were all matched by others in advance, but even so, he could accurately choose the most indescribable one from several sets of matching clothes.
But he has a good face and good proportions, so he looks good in whatever he wears, and this flaw is covered up. Even the most difficult-to-describe clothes look good on him. Therefore, Gu Qingchi has very good fashion resources, which are rare in the entertainment industry.
A person with extremely biased aesthetic tastes, but a darling of the fashion industry, so much so that no gossip or marketing accounts have ever complained about Gu Qingchi's clothing style. Even when naming fashion representatives in the entertainment industry, Gu Qingchi will definitely be nominated, which can be regarded as making up for one-tenth of the loss with his looks.
Because he knew his own level very well, Gu Qingchi gave the choice to Mrs. Gu. He would not be like Gu Xie, who would just pick a similar set and say that he liked it very much and didn't want to change it.
He listens to Mrs. Gu and does whatever she says. He is a very qualified clothes-changing robot.
Gu Qingchi didn't feel tired when changing clothes, but Mrs. Gu felt sorry for him first. She changed for twenty minutes and finally picked out one set.
Gu Qingchi does not have broad shoulders like Gu Xie and his father. Compared with his father and brother, he looks slimmer and can wear suits like Gu Xie's. He is also suitable for wearing formal dresses provided to young people who have just grown up but do not have the physique of adult men.
There are more styles in this range, and they have to be better looking. The suit that Mrs. Gu picked out is one of them. It is a tuxedo-like style, shorter in the front, which perfectly modifies Gu Qingchi's waistline, and longer in the back.
"This set is for the party, so I'll put it away for you first. The others are all nice, too. I'll put them in the cloakroom for you to wear later."
They not only brought dresses, but also a lot of other casual and hip-hop clothes suitable for young people. Mrs. Gu also picked a lot of them.
This was the last outfit that Gu Qingchi changed into: a flashy black denim jacket, ripped jeans, and a metal tassel hanging from one shoulder, giving it a uniform feel.
He felt so comfortable in his clothes that he was too lazy to change.
Mrs. Gu continued to pick out high heels. She seemed to never get tired of this kind of thing. Gu Qingchi was sitting on the sofa in the back, biting a lollipop and chatting with Xie Luyu. When he knew the date of the banquet, he sent an invitation to Xie Luyu.
[I'm picking out a dress. I just finished.]
[What style? Let me see, we can pair them up as a couple.]
Gu Qingchi took a photo of the clothes that were taken out separately next to him.
Xie Luyu said he received it.
Gu Qingchi continued typing.
【I want to get a tattoo. 】
Xie Luyu didn't ask why.
【When do you want to get a tattoo? 】
【Think about it now.】
Xie Luyu took a while to input it before sending it back.
[I know a place that's clean and the tattoo artist has good skills. Appointments are scheduled until after the New Year. He owes me a favor. If we go there now, he said he has a free time.
I'm going to pick you up now. After the tattoo, we can have a good meal. There's a hot pot restaurant over there, the one you said you wanted to go to before. 】
Gu Qingchi bit his lollipop and turned his head to speak incoherently to Madam Gu.
"Mom, I'm going out for a while at noon."
…
Xie Luyu deliberately dressed in the same style as Gu Qingchi today, also a flashy denim jacket, a T-shirt underneath, a pair of sunglasses, and a silver, thick necklace around his neck.
He also wore two metal rings on his hands, one on his index finger and one on his ring finger. There was no meaning to them, he just wore them because they looked good.
The tattoo shop is located in a rather complicated place, on a street called Jie Li. It’s not very famous and only the locals know it. So they just casually called it Jie Li, and eventually the name became Jie Li.
The shops of all sizes nearby are quite old-fashioned. There is even a record store. On the door are posters of foreign rock bands that were popular more than a decade ago. A few years ago, this was a famous fashionable place among young people.
There are more stores than people now, and the stores opened here are all opened for sentiment.
There were few people around, and the car was parked in front of the store, only about ten meters away. Gu Qingchi did not disguise himself, and Xie Luyu also had sunglasses in his hand. He held Gu Qingchi's hand with one hand and casually pinned it on his collar.
It suddenly became dark as soon as I entered the store.
The receptionist was a young man with hair dyed three or four colors. He whistled when he saw them.
"The master is inside. He said just go in."
There was a man inside, holding an unlit cigarette, packing up his things and placing tools on the table. When he saw Xie Luyu and the others come in, he raised his head and put down the cigarette.
“Here I come.”
Xie Luyu asked Gu Qingchi to sit down.
"Well, this is my lover, he wants a tattoo."
The man nodded.
"Where do you want to get a tattoo?"
Gu Qingchi reached out and took off his watch.
There were several deep and shallow scars on the wrist, which looked very abrupt.
The man took a look and didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded to indicate that he understood.
"My wrist is nice to have a tattoo, what do you want?"
Gu Qingchi had already thought about it.
He smiled a little embarrassedly and took out a cartoon character drawn very hard from his phone. Please forgive me for having to use the word "hard work".
The cartoon character is sitting on the ground, shedding tears and crying sadly with his mouth wide open.
"Get a tattoo of this."
The tattoo artist raised an eyebrow.
"Did you draw it yourself? This little guy is so chubby."
Gu Qingchi nodded, then looked at Xie Luyu hesitantly.
"Fat?"
Even the tattoo artist went to see Xie Luyu.
Xie Luyu sat aside, sitting backwards in his chair, his chin resting on the back of the chair, and did not react for a moment.
He is still craning his neck to give serious comments, but his comments are obviously biased.
"You're not cute if you're not fat. It's better to be a little fatter."
Xie Luyu went to look after Qingchi.
Gu Qingchi's eyebrows were curved.
This was drawn based on Xie Luyu. Every time Gu Qingchi was injured, Xie Luyu would always be the first to carefully hold his wound and cry miserably. It was obviously Gu Qingchi who was injured, but it was always Xie Luyu who cried.
Although Xie Luyu looked very cute when he cried, Gu Qingchi didn't want Xie Luyu to cry anymore.
He tattooed the little man, so that when he picked up the knife next time, he would see the little man crying so sadly.
Xie Luyu realized something belatedly - Gu Qingchi wanted to tattoo his image there.
He went to see Qingchi with wet eyes, like a big golden retriever who just wanted a kiss and hug from his owner because he was sad.
Gu Qingchi reached out and touched his hair, confused.
"Are you unhappy? I thought you would be happier."
Xie Luyu nodded once, then shook his head.
"I'm afraid you'll be hurt."
Gu Qingchi believed it and touched his hair to comfort him.
"I checked it out, and it doesn't hurt."
Xie Luyu nodded, reached out to hold Gu Qingchi's hand, squeezed it carefully, and said "hmm".
How could he be happy?
Even though Gu Qingchi chose a pattern related to Xie Luyu for the tattoo that would accompany him for a long time, Xie Luyu would not be happy.
He felt sad as soon as he started to think about this matter. How could he be happy?
It started with pain and ended with pain. Gu Qingchi didn't need this to happen.
The tattoo artist coughed, breaking the somewhat heavy atmosphere.
"Being a little fat is cute, it can cover everything up."
He gestured to the scars.
The tattoo wasn’t big and was completed in less than two hours, then wrapped in plastic wrap.
It was already evening when Gu Qingchi returned home.
As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Gu saw his wrist at a glance.
"What happened to Xiaoguai's wrist?"
Gu Qingchi stretched it out calmly and showed it to Mrs. Gu.
"Mom, I got a little tattoo here."
Then he apologized a little.
"Because I really wanted to get a tattoo, I didn't tell you in advance."
Mrs. Gu carefully held Gu Qingchi's wrist.
Father Gu and Gu Xie also came over.
Mrs. Gu suddenly realized clearly that Gu Qingchi had grown up and was no longer the little baby in her arms who could withstand all external harm.
He is old enough to get a tattoo himself, and Mrs. Gu already needs to look up at him.
Madam Gu looked at Gu Qingchi's wrist carefully.
The rest of Gu Qingchi's exposed arm was white and smooth, except for his wrist.
Mrs. Gu looked a little sad. Not only was she sad that Xiaoguai had grown up to the age where he could get a tattoo, but what made her even sadder was that Xiaoguai's wrists were covered with scars running across them. Her Xiaoguai was originally fine, but the originally snow-white ball had grown to this size, but now he was covered with scars.
"Does it hurt, little darling?"
Gu Qingchi shook his head. Madam Gu was still a little unconvinced and spoke softly.
"You should tell me in advance. If you want it, Mom will definitely agree. I'll find the best tattoo artist for you. I guarantee it won't hurt at all."
