Giants Counterattack: The Strongest Female Match

Chapter 30 Tips, Don't Look For It

After separating from Betty, Gu Xiran couldn't wait to come to the third floor.

Following the instruction map in the store, she found the chiffon area she wanted among the rows of shelves.

Gu Xiran was dazzled by several large shelves full of cloth and all kinds of colorful chiffon.

She took her own design, came to the area of ​​blue chiffon, and began to choose carefully one by one.

Touching the feel of the fabric, observing the color of the fabric, and comparing it with his own design, Gu Xiran finally chose two high-end chiffon pieces with beautiful colors among a lot of choices.

Taking the two pieces of fabrics off the shelf, Gu Xiran compared them more carefully.

And in his mind, he materialized these two pieces of cloth.Imagining these two colors, the finished product after making clothes.

"Okay, it's you!" After thinking for a while, Gu Xiran touched the sky-blue chiffon that was closer to the sky in satisfaction.

Then without hesitation, I took it to the clerk to cut it.

Then she went to the ground floor and picked out some accessories.

The whole process went smoothly without any mistakes.

But when it came to the last step, when looking for decorative gemstones for the embellishment of the waist of the skirt, Gu Xiran couldn't find anything that satisfied him.

Either it was because the gemstone was too big, or it was too small, and the color of the right size was different from what she wanted.

So she stood in front of the shelf, not making a decision for a long time, and felt very distressed in her heart.I even began to think about whether I should give up persistence.Simply choose one of several gems that look good, or... cut off this design on the waist!
"Linda, why are you still standing here? I've already paid and been waiting for you for a long time!"

After choosing the items and paying for them, Betty stood at the cash register and stared at Gu Xiran for a long time. After seeing no one for a long time, she ran in worriedly to look for her.

As soon as she arrived at the accessories area, she saw Gu Xiran standing there hesitantly, a little at a loss.

"The skirt I designed has a design at the waist that requires gemstones. But I have looked here a lot, but I can't find the one that satisfies me." Gu Xiran frowned and smiled bitterly.Then she spread out her hands, and asked Betty to take a look at the ones she had chosen that were more satisfactory to her.

"These look pretty good! Don't tell me... aren't you satisfied?" Betty glanced at the several models in Gu Xiran's hands, and thought they were all beautiful. She wondered if Gu Xiran hadn't picked one for so long, was she too picky? a little bit.

"Hmm...these are not bad, but they are still a bit short of what I want. You can see that this one is a little bigger, and I'm afraid it will be used as an embellishment on the waist. It will swell under the refraction of the light, making the waist appear fat. And this one is a little smaller, and I’m afraid it’s not obvious enough for embellishment. The other sizes are suitable, but the color is not pure enough, and it doesn’t have the transparency I want. So... I’m hesitating now , Do you want to make concessions. Let’s make do with it, or modify the design.”

Gu Xiran stared at the gem in his hand, his whole body became very tangled.At the moment, she wished that she could possess magic power and transform the gemstones in her hands into the appearance she wanted one by one.

"Instead of continuing to struggle here, we might as well ask the clerk for help. Maybe this store doesn't have it, and other stores of 'Mu' will have what you want."

For a while, Betty didn't know what advice she could give Gu Xiran, so she thought of the help the clerk gave her when she encountered difficulties just now.Without saying a word, he took Gu Xiran's hand and walked towards the clerk who was closest to them.

After some detailed communication, the clerk helped to find more than a dozen gemstones similar to what Gu Xiran said, and asked her to choose slowly.

"Hmm... this one is very similar, but is there anything more transparent than this one?"

After looking at several gemstones of different specifications and colors, Gu Xiran picked up one that was almost exactly the same as the one she wanted, and asked the clerk about it.

She thought that if there was nothing more satisfying to her, she would choose this one to decorate the waist of the skirt.

"The more transparent one...um...it seems that that model is out of print and out of production." Holding the model in Gu Xiran's hand for a while, the clerk said helplessly.

"Not in production? Why? Could it be that you can't even find a few?" Gu Xiran asked repeatedly in disappointment, hoping that the shop assistant could find it for her.

"The price of that gemstone is too high, and it hasn't been selling very well in the store, so our store has canceled the order a long time ago. The manufacturer saw that there was no money to make, so he stopped producing it. But... what you want If the quantity is not large, I can try to find it in the warehouse for you. But the price is a bit high, can you accept it?"

The clerk looked at Gu Xiran's young age, and worried that he would go to the warehouse to find it out, and Gu Xiran would give up because of the price.So before going, he planned to ask clearly before talking.

"Don't worry, as long as it's what I want, I don't mind the price. Just help me find it, thank you." Gu Xiran clasped his fists in both hands, looking at the clerk expectantly.

"Okay, wait a little longer." Seeing Gu Xiran say this, the clerk didn't say anything more, and walked towards the warehouse.

About ten minutes later, he was seen walking out of the warehouse with a box in his hand.

Gu Xiran opened the box full of anticipation.I saw gemstones that met her requirements in terms of color, purity, and brilliance, lying in the box.No more, no less, just enough to meet her production needs.

So without hesitation, she asked the clerk to pack the box and pay with the fabric accessories she had selected earlier.

After all the shopping was done, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.

Originally, the two of them planned to have a meal nearby.But after walking out of the store, the two of them immediately changed their minds when they saw that the sky that had been clear just now had turned gray and looked like it was going to rain heavily.

After saying goodbye, he hurriedly walked towards home.

After walking two blocks from here, Gu Xiran can reach the apartment in about ten minutes.

According to her usual habits, she would definitely watch while walking, and walk slowly home.But the increasingly gloomy weather made people very uncomfortable.This made Gu Xiran lose his mood, and walked slowly as usual.

But just when she saw that the apartment was getting closer and closer, and it was about a block away to get there, the sky suddenly poured down with rain.

She had to give up and move on, and found a coffee shop closest to her to take shelter from the rain.

Entering the store, Gu Xiran sat at the window by the door.

She didn't pay attention to her hair that was drenched in the rain, nor did she care about the wet clothes on her body, but nervously checked whether the fabric in the bag was wet by the rain.

Just when she was thankful that there was nothing wrong with the fabric, a cup of steaming coffee was delivered to her.

"Sorry, I haven't ordered anything yet, did you send it wrong?"

Staring at the coffee, Gu Xiran wondered if the clerk delivered it to the wrong person.

But when she followed the heat of the coffee and raised her head to talk to the person who brought the coffee, she saw Lin Yixin, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, standing beside her.

Never expecting to meet here, Gu Xiran couldn't help being startled, and then asked blankly, "Why are you here?"

"This is a department store. I came to inspect it. Then, like you, I didn't bring an rain gear, so I took shelter here temporarily." Holding his own cup of coffee, Lin Yixin naturally sat opposite Gu Xiran, expressionless answering.

"Sheltered from the rain... well, pretend I didn't ask."

Thinking of the unhappy breakup that day, Gu Xiran didn't know what to say to Lin Yixin for a while.So he imitated him and picked up the coffee and tasted it, trying to let himself ignore the embarrassment at the moment.

The fragrance in the mouth is strong, and a warmth slides down the esophagus into the stomach, instantly dispelling the coldness from the body, making Gu Xiran feel very comfortable.

She squinted her eyes, like a lazy cat, comfortably huddled in the single sofa and enjoying it carefully.It's like enjoying the most wonderful thing in the world.

Seeing this, Lin Yixin, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help but frowned, and then took a sip of the coffee in his hand.After feeling the taste of the mouth, Lin Yixin couldn't help wondering whether the cup in his hand was different from Gu Xiran's.

"Is it so delicious?"

"After being exposed to the rain, drinking a cup of hot food will certainly feel very comfortable. But you haven't been out just now, so you can't experience this feeling." Gu Xiran held the coffee cup in both hands, with a face that you don't understand The expression answered Lin Yixin's question.

"I don't think even if it's raining, I don't think the coffee tastes good. The coffee beans in this store are aged coffee beans, and the taste is much worse than the ones I keep in the apartment."

Feeling the taste of coffee, Lin Yixin put the cup on the table with some disgust, and pushed it away.

"By the way, I haven't seen you recently. Have you moved?" Gu Xiran pouted, not wanting to tell Lin Yixin to continue this topic.So she thought that she rarely met him these days, so she asked her the most concerned thing.And with a trace of anticipation, waiting for Lin Yixin's answer.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I just went back to school for some errands these days, and I didn't move. I'm still the old saying, if you don't want to see me, you can find a place to move yourself. But don't be delusional, Come to influence my decision, you are not that important."

Unexpectedly, Gu Xiran was still planning to let him move, Lin Yixin's face immediately sank, and he answered coldly.There was even an urge in my heart to pry open Gu Xiran's head and take a good look at what was inside.

"You don't even want to move, I like this place very much, why should I move!" Gu Xiran just couldn't understand it, and Lin Yixin showed his face at every turn.Thinking of what happened when they met in the past, she immediately became dissatisfied, and said unconvinced: "Anyway, you remember, you don't plan to move. Don't show me the face next time you meet me. I owe you nothing."

"Really? I've always been like this. If you think so, there's nothing I can do about it." Lin Yixin glanced at Gu Xiran, and said indifferently.But his eyes looked out of the window, as if he didn't want to pay attention to Gu Xiran.

"With someone like you, I really have nothing to say." Glaring at Lin Yixin, Gu Xiran took out a bill from his wallet and put it in front of him angrily, "This is the money for coffee. Treat it as a tip, you don’t have to give it to me.”

After saying this, Gu Xiran made a face at Lin Yixin.Then, with murderous eyes in his eyes, he rushed into the rain with the bag in his hand, and ran towards the apartment.

For Gu Xiran, the heavy rain at this time no longer upset her.On the contrary, there was a kind of exhilarating comfort, which made her enjoy it very much.
