Chapter 611: He’s Different
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
Of the five Big Brothers of the Murong Family, Yan Xiu was the least eloquent.
He would stay in his room and fiddle with his designs when he had nothing to
do.
He also liked his Little Sister, but he was not as proactive as Xian Yu.
“Two days ago, I saw that he was still making clothes for Young Miss Murong. He looked even more serious than with the other works.” The young lady nodded with certainty.
Others might not understand Yan Xiu, but she, who worked in Yan Xiu’s design studio every day, could see him every day. Naturally, she knew that Yan Xiu liked Murong Qiao very much.
Murong Qiao smiled. “Looks like I should come more often in the future.”
“That’s even better.” The little girl smiled until her eyes narrowed.
While the two of them were talking, Shen Xi sat at the side and silently wiped her hair with a towel. However, some parts of her body were still soaked in water, so she couldn’t help but sneeze.
“Achoo!”
The presence of this sound was not strong, but it attracted Yan Xiu’s gaze. He originally came out to use the toilet, but when he pa.s.sed by the front desk, he was attracted by the sound and saw two people sitting there.
The moment he saw that there were people, Yan Xiu’s reaction was to avoid them. He quickly moved to go to the toilet and return to the studio, but his movements were undoubtedly slower than the eyes. Murong Qiao discovered his presence first.
“Fourth Brother!” Murong Qiao called out to him.
Yan Xiu’s body subconsciously stiffened when he was called. After realizing that it was his Little Sister, he relaxed and took the initiative to walk over.
There was no expression on his face, but he couldn’t help but frown when he saw Murong Qiao’s wet state.
Yan Xiu said directly, “Don’t wear this. You’ll catch a cold.”
“I have your clothes here. You can try them on. Take off this set and give it to
Xiao Gu.” He pointed at the girl just now.
Xiao Gu hurriedly nodded. “Young Miss Murong, go and change. Actually, I wanted to say it just now…”
-Then Fourth Brother, do you have any clothes for Shen Xi here?” Murong Qiao asked another question.
Shen Xi?
Yan Xiu’s mind went blank for a moment before he realized that there was someone sitting beside Murong Qiao.
But Shen Xi had been watching Yan Xiu for a long time.
She only felt a strange feeling in her heart, and even her heartbeat sped up for some reason. The moment she saw Yan Xiu, Shen Xi’s gaze could no longer move away from him.
Yan Xiu’s appearance was more inclined towards being cold and delicate, and he didn’t give off an overly aggressive feeling. However, when he was expressionless, he gave off a feeling of being distant from others. However, other than his coldness to outsiders, Shen Xi felt that she had never seen anyone as good-looking as Yan Xiu.
He’s different.
She clearly wanted to speak, but she was a little speechless. However, it was different from when she had her asthma. Shen Xi felt that her mind was in a mess.
When she saw Yan Xiu suddenly look away and see her, she was so nervous that she couldn’t speak.
“Hi, h.e.l.lo. My name is Shen Xi.” She greeted him with a slightly red face.
It was clearly just a self-introduction, but her tongue seemed to be tied into a knot. No matter what, she couldn’t complete the sentence.
Her face turned even redder with anxiety. ‘T-I’m sorry to disturb you-”
“I’m not sure if there are any clothes suitable for her.” Yan Xiu frowned.
His designs had never been made to be casually worn by others. He had a change of clothes for Murong Qiao because he often designed clothes for his Little Sister.
At this moment, Xiao Gu said tactfully, “If Young Miss Shen Xi doesn’t mind, I have a new set of clothes in the break room. I haven’t worn them yet. Our figures should be about the same.”
“No, I don’t mind.” Shen Xi shook her head.
Seeing that there was a solution, Murong Qiao nodded. “Then I’ll have to trouble Little Gu to take care of me. I’ll go change my clothes too.
It was indeed not a good experience to wear wet clothes for an extended period of time. If she wore it any longer, she might really catch a cold.
At the thought of her nose being blocked and even losing her sense of taste, Murong Qiao had no choice but to start paying attention to her health.
At a time like this, Shen Xi would definitely not despise other people’s clothes. She was already weak and sickly. In order not to let the people around her worry, Shen Xi accepted Xiao Gu’s good intentions.
However, when she went to change with Little Gu, her thoughts involuntarily drifted to Yan Xiu, whom she had just seen.
“That person just now…” she said hesitantly.
Xiao Gu understood. “You mean the boss?”
“Yes.” Shen Xi hesitated for a moment before saying, “He’s a designer?
“Yeah, this is where he usually works. Many people like the boss’s work.” Xiao Gu was good at chatting.
Without waiting for Shen Xi to say anything, she continued.
It was mainly because she usually stayed at her workstation and had no one to chat with, so Xiao Gu had been holding back her words for a long time.
Xiao Gu lowered her head to get the clothes. She didn’t stop talking. “Don’t look at the boss as a cold person. He’s actually quite nice, but he’s a little…”
“Hmm, should I call it social phobia?” Xiao Gu found a more appropriate adjective.
She spoke again. “Anyway, he likes to be busy with his designs and doesn’t like to talk to people.”
“But even so, many socialites like him very much. They always spend a lot of money to buy his designs just to meet him or talk to him.”
Xiao Gu chatted for a while, then took out a new set of clothes and placed them in Shen Xi’s hand. She then pointed at the fitting room in the studio.
“Give it a try first. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll go out and buy you a set.” Xiao Gu was very considerate.
Shen Xi walked to the fitting room, but she couldn’t help but glance at the design clothes hanging on the dummy model beside her. Her eyes couldn’t help but reveal admiration and amazement.
She always stayed at home, so when she had nothing to do, she learned to think about drawing and other hobbies. Facing Yan Xiu’s designs, Shen Xi liked these clothes almost at a glance.
While changing, Murong Qiao walked out first and looked at herself in the mirror.
“Fourth Brother, your design seems to have become even more beautiful this time.” Murong Qiao walked around and couldn’t help but praise him.
She didn’t understand design, but her aesthetic sense was still good.
Yan Xiu also stood beside Murong Qiao and observed the effect of his design.
He was always critical of his work. “I was inconsiderate. There’s room for improvement in the hemline.”
“Wear this for now. I’ll give you a new one when I’m done,” Yan Xiu concluded. The gifts for his Little Sister couldn’t be a half-finished product. Moreover, Yan Xiu wouldn’t allow himself to fool her like this.
While the two of them were talking, Shen Xi came out after changing her clothes.
When she saw Yan Xiu and Murong Qiao talking together, she didn’t know what to say. She stood rooted to the ground hesitantly. In the end, it was Xiao Gu who opened her mouth to save her.
“Boss! Young Miss Murong!” Xiao Gu’s voice immediately attracted their attention.
Shen Xi was forced to follow. “Qiaoqiao.”
She called Murong Qiao’s name, but her gaze was on Yan Xiu.
“I don’t know when the rain will stop,” Murong Qiao replied. “We might have to stay here for a while..”
