To Be Caught (1)

The two people walked out of the changing room silently. Outside, Rui-jie and Tang Tiantian glanced over at them and were both stunned.

They looked amazingly good.

Fang Li wore a dark green jacket skirt underneath and a pure white cloak on the outside, giving him a delicate complexion. Although he was dressed in winter clothes, his waist was slimmer than most people in summer clothes.

His long black hair was simply pulled back in a bun with a red plum hairpin, like a cold plum blooming in the white snow, especially beautiful.

Next to him, Ruan Qingmu wore a black cloak with a silvery-white faux fur collar that matched his indifferent face and delicate eyebrows.

The two stood together. Ruan Qingmu was tall and Fang Li was slim. They both looked like a noble young gentleman traveling hand in hand with his female companion, a perfect match and very eye-catching.

Rui-jie found a hair ribbon from the jewelry box and tied it around Ruan Qingmu’s hair, the same color as the plum blossom hairpin on Fang Li’s head. After examining it from side to side, she slipped a fan into Fang Li’s hand. “Here, here. Hold this.”

Fang Li held it up in wonder. “It’s so beautiful.”

Rui-jie raised her head proudly. “Of course. This is from my collection.”

The props used by other people were all cheap and just for show, but she didn’t want to settle for anything less. This Kesi* fan cost over a thousand yuan and it had a picture of the cold moon with a lotus, which was extremely delicate and exquisite.

*T/N: Kesi: Chinese silk tapestry woven in a pictorial design.

Ruan Qingmu glanced at the fan. “Kesi, ah. The art is a bit simple.”

Rui-jie’s eyes widened. “What? Do you know Kesi is expensive because the process is complicated and is really time-consuming to do by hand?”

Ruan Qingmu squinted his eyes. “I know, ah. Through warping and sewing. I mean, this fan’s pattern is simple.”

Seeing Rui-jie’s speechless look, he casually said, “My family used to have a Kesi screen, full of the river on a spring night embroidery. That one was so complicated that it took a dozen craftsmen to make it together for three years.”

Rui-jie: “…”

Well, never in her life had she ever come across such a bragging brat.

The Kesi artwork was calculated by the size of the piece and was usually small. If there were a big screen like that, it would really take years of work by many people and the price would be sky-high.

Forget it. She didn’t want to bicker with children.

“We will begin then. Don’t be nervous. When I tell you guys to move, just casually move a little,” Rui-jie instructed, leading the two to the fixed position of the machine and opening the broadcast room.

… There were only a few dozen people online, all regular customers.

“Hello dear babies, thanks for watching the live stream this time! As already announced yesterday, we’re going to release a variety of fashion styles in one go today. All at special prices! I repeat, all at special prices! The final wave before the Lunar New Year.” Rui-jie was in high spirits. “This is straight out of my collection. I wouldn’t dare to say anything else, but the price is too good for the craftsmanship and material, isn’t it? Not buying is a loss and buying will become a profit…”

In the following pop-up window, some regular customers responded, “Yes, ah. Rui-jie’s goods are truly remarkable, I have compared them to several other places and they are honestly better than the big brand name shops.”

“Rui-jie, which ones are on sale today? I have several pieces I want to buy, but my wallet is shallow and I can only choose one…”

Rui-jie looked at the reply as she answered, “I guarantee we have what you want. Moreover, we have hired two beautiful models today to give you a superb demonstration. It will definitely be eye-catching.”

The camera panned around and she aimed the camera at Ruan Qingmu and Fang Li. “Come, come. Let’s display these two couple cloaks first.”

Most customers were watching with a glance at their phones. As soon as they looked up, the comments below suddenly skyrocketed.

A dozen people were instantly speaking at the same time. “??? What kind of divine attractiveness is this?”

“Where did you find this little brother and little sister? Are they cosplayers? From which club are they from?”

Rui-jie answered, “Ohh, they’re not cosplayers. They’re still students and come here to work part-time. Everyone, don’t just look at their faces, ah. Here, here, look at the craftsmanship on these clothes.”

She pulled Fang Li over first. “This dress looks whiter under the light but is actually beige in natural lighting. It’s not very rigid and the shoulders are well-cut. Just look at how it looks on him*, absolutely brilliant.”

*T/N: Rui-jie used a masculine words (他) but because the pronunciation is the same as the feminine words (她), everyone thinks Fang Li is a girl.

“Wah! The little sister is so good-looking. She’s fairy-like!”

“Hahaha. Still a student. Not fully grown yet, right?”

Fang Li only smiled faintly in confusion and followed Rui-jie’s instructions, turning lightly in place, the circular fan in his hand subtly covering his neck and blocking his Adam’s apple.

“For those interested in this outfit, the link is on the bottom left, so hurry up and place your order,” Rui-jie shouted vigorously. “Next, let’s look at this style of men’s clothing.”

The camera showed Ruan Qingmu with a lifeless look on his face.

It would have been better to go up on stage in front of familiar classmates than awkwardly showing off on air like this.

“Ohhh! The little brother is so handsome!”

“Wow! Is this the New Year’s perk? I can*!~~~.”

*T/N: I can (internet buzzword): means to have your heart pounding for some person you first meet, or to fall in love with an object, alluding to liking certain people and things.
