The cheongsam shop is decorated in poetry and picturesque style, with unique cheongsams hanging on both sides, either elegant, retro or noble. Yan Meng couldn't help but sigh as soon as she entered the door. This shop really looks too inconspicuous from the outside, but there is a unique world here.
"These cheongsams are so beautiful." Yan Meng looked around and sighed softly.
At the cashier in the store, an elegant middle-aged woman looked up and asked politely: "Do you two want to customize cheongsams?"
Yan Meng withdrew her gaze and looked at Chi Chen blankly, with doubts in her eyes.
Chi Chen took off his hat, tweaked his hair, and smiled at the woman: "Aunt Ling, it's me."
Aunt Ling was stunned for a moment, walked up to look at Chi Chen for a moment before suddenly saying, "Oh, it's Chi Chen. I almost couldn't recognize you after not seeing you for many years."
Chi Chen: "Long time no see Aunt Ling, are you doing well?"
Aunt Ling smiled and said, "You should just stay in this store like that. What's the point?" Her eyes turned to Yan Meng: "Who is this?"
Yan Meng heard from their brief conversation that the boss lady was an elder who Chi Chen had known for many years, so she hurriedly walked up and stretched out her hand: "Hello, Auntie, I am Yan Meng."
Aunt Ling held her hand and smiled and said, "Hello, hello." She winked at Chi Chen and asked, "Girlfriend?"
Chi Chen nodded and hugged Yan Meng's shoulder, "My girlfriend is going to get married."
Aunt Ling couldn't help but glance at the shy Yan Meng, "He looks so good."
She hasn't seen him a few times since Chi Chen went abroad to study, but she still knows Chi Chen. He has seen Zhang Yun and Chi Feng's failed marriage and is more cautious in his relationship. His ability to bring Yan Meng to him is enough to show his seriousness in this relationship.
Chi Chen didn't know how to be modest: "I think too."
Aunt Ling asked Chi Chen: "So, are you going to customize a cheongsam for her this time?"
Yan Meng waved her hand: "No, auntie, not for me, but for my mother. She celebrated her birthday today, so we want to give her a gift."
Aunt Ling asked Yan's height, body shape and style. According to Yan Meng's statement, she picked two cheongsams that were more suitable for Yan's mother in the wardrobe. "Which one is your mother's size?"
Yan Meng looked at it for a long time and finally picked a hand-embroidered cheongsam with orchids on the slanted orchid, which is a style that Yan Ma would like.
Aunt Ling praised her for her good vision.
Aunt Ling went to the warehouse behind to find the code Yan Meng asked. Yan Meng secretly asked Chi Chen: "How did you know Aunt Ling?"
Chi Chen fiddled with the cheongsam on the clothes hanger with his fingers. He took it out and compared it to Yan Meng, and replied casually: "My mother loves to wear it. Aunt Ling and she used to be old acquaintances. Many of her cheongsams were made by Aunt Ling for her."
Yan Meng nodded and thoughtfully: "No wonder..."
She remembered that Zhang Yun did love to wear cheongsams. Not long ago, there was a marketing account posted on Weibo to take stock of the most charming female celebrities in the entertainment industry who wore cheongsams. Zhang Yun, who had retired, was on the list.
Chi Chen took another one and asked, "Which one of these two looks good?"
Yan Meng glanced at it and pointed at the one on his left hand, "This one is fresh and elegant, and it looks pretty."
"Okay." Chi Chen put the piece aside, then went to the cashier to find paper and pen, bent over and quickly wrote something.
"What are you writing?" Yan Meng leaned over and glanced at him curiously, but he blocked his hand and didn't see a single word.
She pouted: "Stingy."
Chi Chen: "Be good, you will know after some time."
After waiting for a while, Aunt Ling walked out with a cheongsam. Her shop made high-end customizations, and the packaging was not vague at all. The exquisite gift box had a unique style.
Chi Chen took out his bank card to pay, but Aunt Ling refused to accept anything, but Chi Chen insisted: "Don't do this, Aunt Ling, I want to ask you for another set. If you don't charge money, I'm embarrassed to ask for it."
Aunt Ling had no choice but to give him a discount.
Chi Chen signed the card ticket and handed it back to Aunt Ling. He also held another small note in his hand.
Aunt Ling opened it and looked at it, raised her eyebrows and pointed to a place: "That one?"
Chi Chen nodded, "Her size is on it."
Aunt Ling put away the paper and asked in a low voice: "Have you brought it to your mother before?"
Chi Chen sneered, "She hasn't returned to China for many years, what do you think?"
"She hasn't returned to China, you can go to France to find her." Aunt Ling patiently advised Chi Chen: "I know there is a gap between you, mother and son, but she is your mother after all. Since you plan to keep walking with this girl, you should take her to take a look. This is basic respect."
Chi Chen lowered his eyes, put away the card, and smiled: "Aunt Ling, we are in a hurry to go home for dinner, so let's come first and see you next time."
After saying that, he patted Yan Meng, who was flipping through the cheongsam picture album, and took her hand: "Aunt Ling, we're leaving."
Yan Meng put down the picture album and said goodbye to Aunt Ling obediently: "Goodbye Auntie."
Aunt Ling smiled and shook her hand at Yan Meng, and sighed after they turned around.
This child.
The weather in summer is unpredictable. After leaving the cheongsam shop, the sky outside becomes gray, and there are dark clouds in the distance, as if it is about to rain heavily.
Chi Chen hugged Yan Meng and got into the car, followed the navigation and drove the nearest road, and finally returned to the Yan family before the heavy rain fell.
Chi Chen, the gate of the Yan family, is familiar with it. This time he has changed his identity, which makes him feel particularly friendly here.
Yan Meng rang the doorbell at home, and Yan's mother came over and opened the door soon.
"Mom." Yan Meng called her.
"Oh." Yan's mother responded. When she saw Chi Chen, she turned her eyebrows and smiled when she saw Chi Chen, "Oh, Chi Chen is here, come in, come in, come in, it's raining outside, is it wet?"
Chi Chen replied: "No, we rushed forward, it's not raining yet." He handed the cheongsam in his hand to Yan Mama: "Auntie, happy birthday, I wish you good health."
Yan's mother took it, opened it and looked at it, and was extremely happy: "What gift do you buy for me? It's still such a beautiful cheongsam. I'm old, so where can I wear it?"
Yan Meng narrowed her eyes. Her mother was a typical verbal and fair-hearted person. Her love for beauty was only worse than that of young girls.
Chi Chen still smiled: "My aunt has a young mentality and looks young."
When Yan's mother heard this, she was even more happy.
She put away the cheongsam with a baby, called the two of them in, opened the shoe cabinet, bent down and took out a pair of clean sandals, "I know you are with Mengmeng, so I specially bought you a pair of new slippers. If you have time in the future, you should come to our house often. I ask her dad to make delicious food for you. You are tired of work and you need to eat better."
Dad Yan also poked his head out of the kitchen, "Oh, Chi Chen is here. Sit down, my meal will be ready soon."
"Okay, thank you uncle." Chi Chen lowered his head and changed his shoes, raised his eyebrows and felt a little proud.
Of course Yan Meng knew what he was proud of.
I have been standing at the door for a long time, but her parents only have Chi Chen in their eyes.
Yes, she felt she was out of favor.
As the saying goes, it is true that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks, the happier she becomes.
Yan Meng stood for a while, and after Chi Chen changed his shoes and was taken to the sofa by Yan's mother to eat fruit, she squatted down to change her shoes. She flipped through the shoe cabinet and left only one pair of slippers left at home.
She shouted, "Mom, where is my other slipper? Why is it gone?"
Yan's mother ignored her, "Ask me whom I ask? You haven't come back for so long, who cares where your slippers are going?" She tskated and said, "I seem to remember the last time I was taken under the bed by rolling. I forgot which bed. You can go under the bed by yourself."
Yan Meng: "..."
No, I asked me to lie under the bed as soon as I came back. Do I want to save face in front of my boyfriend?
Yan Meng pursed her mouth and took a pair of disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet to deal with it first.
She sat down by the sofa, picked a cherry and stuffed it into her mouth, and asked, "Why didn't you see Brother Angry? Where did he go?"
Yan's mother looked disgusted, "Hmph, he, he's still not home all day long after summer vacation. This son is not reliable at all. Unlike Chi Chen, who is successful in his career and mature and steady. How great would it be if my own son. But now, you are together, isn't Chi Chen my son?"
Yan Meng rolled her eyes and spit out the cherry pits, wiped her mouth with a tissue, hehe, my mom, are you made of Rainbow Fart?
Dad Yan pushed open the kitchen door and shouted to the living room: "Just let them sit there and chat. Come in and help me. Don't be able to eat when it's time to go!"
Yan's mother stood up after hearing this, "What are you urging me? I'm not coming. I'm going to say a few words to Chi Chen!"
Chi Chen also stood up, "I'll go and help my uncle too."
Yan's mother pressed on his shoulder, "No, no, it's enough to have us in the kitchen. You can sit with Mengmeng for a while, and eat for a while."
Yan's mother got into the kitchen and started to argue with Yan's father while cooking.
These two people always dislike each other and no one lets go. Yan Meng has long been used to it after hearing too much. No matter how quarrels, they never part. In Chi Chen's opinion, the atmosphere of the Yan family is a different kind of warmth.
Zhang Yun and Chi Feng divorced early. In his impression, Zhang Yun had only had a fight with Chi Feng once. That time, Zhang Yun got drunk and cried with the wine bottle and called Chi Feng. They spoke harshly, tearing their faces apart, and they all had a knife in their words, stabbing each other's heart with one knife and one knife. If they bleed in their hearts, they would never let the other party win a point.
At that time, Chi Chen was thinking, have they really loved each other?
Good love shouldn't be like this.
Yan Meng touched Chi Chen, who was in a daze with her elbow, and said sadly: "Do you think I was abandoned by them?"
Chi Chen pinched her face, "No, you have me."
