Ning Hua felt guilty once again when he heard what the makeup artist said.
Ning Hua took out his phone and looked at Wen Ting Ting"s number, and memories of the times that they had spent together flashed across his mind. The times when she would take care of him the whole night when he was sick. The times when she would smile happily when he went to have lunch with her just because his mother told him to.
A decision seemed to have blossomed in Ning Hua"s heart at this moment. However, he doesn"t know that his decision and understanding came too late, and he was bound to lose the girl that had been supporting him all the time.
Ning Hua called Wen Ting Ting and told her that he obtained the highest score that the judges had ever given thus far in all the compet.i.tions. She congratulated him, and he said that he was definitely going to win Lu Jin Sheng this time around and that they would get married right after the compet.i.tion.
Wen Ting Ting was getting her makeup done when Ning Hua called, and when he asked her where she was, she told him that she went to get medicinal cream.
Ning Hua immediately apologized when he heard Wen Ting Ting"s reply, "I am sorry…"
"It"s alright. See you later in the hall."
"Mm. See you!"
Ning Hua and the others then started to make their way to the hall.
Wen Ting Ting"s heart became heavy once again when she hung up the call. She never expected Ning Hua to say that they would get married right after this compet.i.tion. Even earlier on, Ning Hua was still trying to drag it out and wait till he attained the position he wanted in the fas.h.i.+on industry. However, he changed his decision once again and said that he wanted to get married right after the compet.i.tion.
Wen Ting Ting doesn"t know how she should be feeling about this matter, but she knew that it wouldn"t be easy for her to walk out of the relations.h.i.+p she had with Ning Hua. At least, that was what she felt at the moment, and she would have to end everything before she could detach herself from him a little.
Wen Ting Ting started to build up walls around her heart and only left a place unguarded. That place was to make up for the mistakes that she had made and to help others.
Compet.i.tion Hall.
Jiang Xue Zi came onto the stage and introduced her work while the models got onto the stage one by one.
Unsurprisingly, she had four male models and one female model.
What was surprising was that her only female model was someone in the fifties.
"Why did she use a model in her fifties?"
"I don"t know. However, I felt like that dress seemed to be a belated gift..."
"I feel a little sad when I looked at that dress. However, at the same time, I feel very pleased and happy as though a mother looking at the daughter growing up."
"No. More like the daughter thanking the mother for raising her. However, it seemed like the thank you came too late..."
"Meanwhile, I am attracted to those hot looking male models!"
"The male models are so handsome!"
"Ah!! I am dead with their killer looks!"
"Look at those eyes!"
"There are foreigners inside! Gos.h.!.+ Those blue eyes surely made me crazy just now!"
"You don"t say! I almost shouted just now!"
"I think I have been single for too long, and my hormones are acting up!"
"You mean more like pre-menstrual symptoms?"
"Don"t tell me you didn"t fangirl over those guys."
"She sure knows how to make those clothes look stunning on those models!"
"Each of the models has their unique qualities, and those clothes accentuate them!"
"Those clothes are made for those models!"
"She is going to be the next rising star like Lu Jin Sheng!"
The crowd became crazy when they saw so many male models at once.
When Jiang Xue Zi finished introducing her work, the audience gave her a round of applause as well.
"Didn"t you say that you are going to design clothes for males? Why did you decide to create clothes for ladies as well?" Mo Xi asked Jiang Xue Zi.
The more Mo Xi looked at Jiang Xue Zi, the more excited she felt. It was as though she was uncovering a gem or a hidden star.
Jiang Xue Zi"s work never failed to amaze her ever since the first work that she saw. Although Jiang Xue Zi"s work does seem to have some hiccups here and there, her work was brilliant in unique ways. Everyone could feel the heart she put into the work. Not saying that others don"t, but everyone could see the starting point of her designs were extraordinary, and the little details made it even harder for anyone to neglect her talent.
Jiang Xue Zi"s eyes clouded for a second as memories flooded her mind, but it turned clear very soon.
"This dress was meant for my mother… When I was young, I told my mother that when I grow up, I will design clothes, specially for her, to thank her for raising me. I told her that she would be the first one to wear my designs… However, my mother never got to wear my clothes because she is no longer around. My mother worked hard to raise me on her own, and because she worked too hard while she was young, she exhausted herself. She pa.s.sed away on the day that I graduated from high school… She never got to see or wear the designs that I created for her, so this was made specially for her, even though she would never be able to see or try. She is a courageous person to raise me on her own, and she was always watching over me as I grew up... She always complimented me when I achieved good results and said that she was pleased..."
