NOVEL NEXT Chapter 388: Eyes On Her-I
While Lin Chang Lu was confused and surprised, others who thought that perhaps the dress earlier was a strange coincidence still was confused to know whether there would be another dress from Azure that would look similar to Golden Tree. Yet after waiting as if before was not enough of a surprise, Wang Yan Zhi and Wang Yongyi who was relaxed on their seat saw a girl walking on the stage. The surprise take over their faces for their smile to freeze and Lin Chang Lu also became like a statue as if her eyes was fixed to Medusa.
Xiao Yun walked down the stage, her movements were slightly stiff. In her heart she was nervous being watch but her nervousness and errant nerves didn't show to her expression. She looked confident, nothing less than the rest of the models who had walked down the same stage as her.
The snowy white dress wrapped her shoulder with long sleeves that draped down to her palm, an extravagant cut was made near her bust that were subtle to create a pure image. The dress fit perfectly to show her waist shape and the skirt fell tight to her knees before it flows like a mermaid. Every time Xiao Yun walked, the gemstones sparkles, making her look nothing less than a real mermaid with a dreamy glittering tail.
The first reaction of the judges were gasps, the audience and guests were also pleased by the dress that looked as if it was created just for Xiao Yun herself and they were not wrong. As Chuan Huan Jing began to design dresses, he saw Xiao Yun as his muse. Most designs he made was based on Xiao Yun's daily life outfits and clothing that Chuan Huan Jing thought would be perfect when wore by Xiao Yun and now seeing it by his own two eyes, Chuan Huan Jing felt as if his dream as a designer was achieved.
"Why is Xiao Yun jie-jie there?" spoke Wang Shi Ning because now she was confused. Xiao Yun wasn't a model, she was the boss of her company and there shouldl have been professional models she had hired for the important day, then why was she the one who walked on the stage.
The dress was beautiful and suit the confident expression Xiao Yun had but they were left confused when Xiao Yun left the stage. "I don't know, I thought she was in the backstage?" but here she was, walking in the stage.
Qingge turned her face, her eyes finding how Wang Yan Zhi said no words nor did Wang Yongyi and both of their expression was unreadable. Lin Chang Lu then whispered, "Maybe Xiao Yun had planned this?" the words gathered some eyes from Wang Family, "If that was the case, she should have told us."
Xiao Yun who was done with the first outfit rushed back inside to change her clothes. Since little Xiao Yun loves climbing trees, out of a reason that it was the thing she was good to do. At the top of the tree, she could see anything with her good eyesight and on the stage, she could also see the people who sat right across the end of the stage, Wang Elders, Lin Chang Lu, and Wang Li Lei's cousins. Xiao Yun didn't have any problem with her sitting there but she only want to advise her if she could to not sit there as it was a bad choice.
"This is the last one." said Chuan Huan Jing.
Xiao Yun saw the stern expression he had and smiled, "But not the end." she replied and patted his shoulders to leave.
Everyone including Zhu Yi Nan and Lin Chang Lu smiled wide when it was time for the last outfits. Xiao Yun stepped out, her heels making a clicking sounds to the ground lightly and her red dress wiped the white floor. The burning color of the red maple dress that seemed as if it was burning like a flame colored Wang Yan Zhi's eyes and the rest of others. The cut around her shoulders were adorned with golden embroidery filled the dress, a perfect combination of a red and golden color. When she moved the gemstones glimmered, making all eyes fall on her to feel the shine the dress had. On her neck was a simple piece of jewelry.
The judges were also stunned but they were also surprised like the rest of people who was inside the the hall. Wang Elders, Qingge, and Wang Shi Ning gasped with their eyes wide. The last dress, the last piece that would be judge and affect the competition the most had the same exact design as Golden Tree! What happened?!
"Qingge Jie-jie, am I seeing this right?!" Wang Shi Ning murmured with a lost expression and whipped her head to Qingge who also was at lost, "The gowns, the designs are exactly the same!" Wang Shi Ning announced and all whispers turned loud.
Qingge finally regain herself and turned to look at Lin Chang Lu, finding her surprised with her brows knitted, "This... there must be something wrong with this." she said as if trying to convince herself, faking everything she was expressing to her face now.
Xiao Yun who saw everyone's reaction from the stage, pulled her smile to rest at her lips. Good, everything was falling to her plan, thought Xiao Yun. When she reached the other edge of the stage, Xiao Yun stopped and all the lights was turn off. Despite having no lights, the gown she wore glittered in the darkness. Red color and the white glimmering gemstones sparkles like a star falling in the pitch black sky. She continued to turned her body, letting the skirt to take a turn and the sparkles glittered brighter.
The scene were beautiful and ethereal to others which had many to wang and continue watching it. Gentleman and ladies alike, the ladies were more passionate to have the dress and make themselves the spotlight that could sparkle even in the dark. The dress was called 'burning stars' and when Xiao Yun had first entered the gown had looked like a bright red star, but now it was clear why the gown was named as such.
Initially people had wanted to shop the show and discuss the problem, however, they were too taken by the dress that they forgot what was wrong. Compared to Golden Tree's gown, Azure's dress left a deep impression that made others to see Golden Tree's gowns as a simpler version. When the lights were on again, Xiao Yun leisurely walked back from the stage leaving everyone speechless.
