Chapter 135: Lecture
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When the organizers arranged the seats, they considered everyone’s relationship, so the three of them sat next to each other. w.a.n.g Jiao sat in the middle, and the other two sat on w.a.n.g Jiao’s sides.
As soon as the three of them sat down, they couldn’t help but praise each other’s outfits.
w.a.n.g Jiao was very observant and could tell the unique aspect of Shi Yi’s dress at a glance. Out of professional habit as a postgraduate mentor, she couldn’t help but begin to teach the two young people.
“Actually, genes have always determined the contours of a person’s body. Men’s muscles are more developed than women’s, so men’s muscles have always been more prominent than women’s, while women’s chest and hips are more prominent. Therefore, designers highlight the characteristics of men and women, so that men can show off their muscles and make women look more s.e.xy. However, no one has ever noticed that women have muscles as well.”
As she spoke, w.a.n.g Jiao raised her hand and started teaching. She used her fingers to stroke the base of Shi Yi’s outer thigh while tracing the contours of her bones and muscles. She turned her body slightly so that Xu Zhi could see her more clearly.
“Most of the fat on women’s legs is to protect their bodies, but women’s legs also have muscles. Shi Yi’s design shows this advantage. This is a very detailed point.”
Shi Yi knew that w.a.n.g Jiao was using her as a model for a lecture and she knew that w.a.n.g Jiao was praising her, so she could only remain silent.
Xu Zhi’s gaze was innocent. He followed his mentor’s instructions and memorized every point.
After saying that, w.a.n.g Jiao smiled embarra.s.sedly. “I’m sorry, Shi Yi. I’m used to being a teacher, and my student is by my side, so 1 can’t help but want to start teaching.”
Shi Yi smiled obediently. “Sister Jiaojiao, you’re being too polite. You’re praising my design, so why should 1 mind?”
Before Yuan Shu married into the Shi family, Shi Yi and w.a.n.g Jiao had the best relationship. Shi Yi grew up in a family that was almost full of men, so she needed someone to play the role of a mother.
w.a.n.g Jiao was intellectual and admired Shi Yi, so the two of them naturally became good friends. Shi Yi was also very clingy towards w.a.n.g Jiao.
However, after Yuan Shu married into the family, Shi Yi rushed back to the country. After so many things, the mother in Shi Yi’s heart changed from w.a.n.g Jiao to Yuan Shu.
Shi Yi glanced at Xu Zhi’s suit again and asked, “I’ve seen Xu Zhi’s design. It’s not the most popular style now, and from the design to the color, it’s very difficult for the public to pull it off. Why did you design this? Is there a deeper meaning?”
Xu Zhi glanced at his teacher and saw that she had no intention of speaking, so he explained, “This is actually my design from three years ago.”
Xu Zhi looked a little embarra.s.sed. “At that time, 1 actually didn’t know much about design and only understood written knowledge of fabrics and so on. 1 could be said to be a soldier who had never experienced actual combat. So even at that time, although the clothing 1 designed followed the trend at that time, it was still unsuitable for the general public.”
Xu Zhi pointed at her clothes and explained the shortcomings of the clothes one by one. Then, she said, “Maybe because 1 didn’t have any pa.s.sion for fashion design at that time and didn’t have the concept of being responsible for my design, after designing the outfit and handing in my homework, 1 was scolded by Madam w.a.n.g.”
w.a.n.g Jiao looked at him reproachfully, as if she was angry at him for telling Shi Yi, then added in his place, “Xu Zhi’s current pa.s.sion for fashion isn’t inferior to mine. Today, he modified these clothes before wearing them. Firstly, it was to remind him of his original purpose behind making clothes, and secondly, it was to face his mistakes so that he could reach higher levels.”
When Shi Yi heard this, she felt admiration for him from the bottom of her heart, and her eyes were filled with praise..
