The seamstress smiled. "Making clothes is my hobby. In my line of work, I don't like to make clothes for just anyone. Only those with the best figures are my best customers.
Even the best tailoring can't bring out its full beauty if it's not worn by the right person.
I'm going to make you a formal gown, and a long skirt.
What color would you like? "
Zhou Qianlin hesitated. "White."
The seamstress smiled. "Alright.
White really suits you. Your skin is very good, and white can set off your sparkling and translucent skin. Coupled with your black hair and blue eyes, you actually don't need too many accessories. As long as the cut is suitable, it will be enough to bring out the advantages of your figure.
You're already too beautiful, too beautiful.
On the other hand, it doesn't suit Huali. That would be a distraction, and redundant.
Just keep it simple. "
Zhou Qianlin smiled. "I believe in your professionalism."
The Seamstress took note of Qianlin's measurements. "You must be wondering why the Driver is waiting here for the Jewelry Master," she said in a low voice.
Zhou Qianlin nodded.
The seamstress smiled. "Actually, this shop doesn't just belong to me. The Driver owns part of it, so he's one of the owners.
He loves suits, he's obsessed with them. The money the shop makes isn't even enough for him to make his own.
He also likes to smoke cigars and drink here.
The Jewelry Master is a good drinking buddy.
The Driver came back the day before yesterday, and when he heard the Jewelry Master was coming, he came to drink with him.
When men like them get together, it's all about smoking cigars and drinking.
I'm starting to like the smell of their cigars. "
Just then.
Lan Jue's voice drifted in from outside.
"For the third bottle, we'll have Tesca in a cask of 1985.
I've been thinking about it for a long time. I love its thick, sooty smell. "
"Alright, I'll give you more." The Driver smiled as he opened a third bottle.
"What order do you want to drink next?" The Driver asked.
Lan Jue replied, "Of course it'd be better if each of them has a stronger smell. Next up is Pomo, and last up is Supernova. Only that thick smell of disinfectant will be able to withstand it.
I still have something to do today, so I'll just drink these five. "
"Alright!"
Half an hour later, the Driver and the seamstress brought Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin out.
"Go back.
Maybe another day. "Lan Jue waved a hand at them.
The Driver chuckled. "I'll wait for you.
Next time we'll have a good time, I'll prepare ten kinds of whiskey for you. "
Lan Jue smiled and said, "Then you need at least a few bottles of good stuff that's over forty years old.
I remember drinking a bottle of Damo last time. It was especially good, the one with antlers on the label. You can look for it later. "
The corner of the Driver's mouth twitched. "No wonder the Wine Master said you weren't welcome. You're such a scumbag. You really do pick the most expensive stuff!"
Lan Jue chuckled. "The most expensive alcohol in the world is single malt whiskey. I didn't say anything about a sixtieth anniversary edition of the Queen of England's coronation. You can't spend all that racing money anyway.
It'll be great! "
"Let's go, let's go!
I'm scared of you. "The Driver pulled the seamstress away, as if he didn't want to see her again.
"Hahaha!" Lan Jue let out a hearty laugh.
Then she led Zhou Qianlin back to the Zeus Jewelry Shop.
Under the curious stares of Xiu Xiu and Kerr, Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin returned to their own room in the back.
Closing the door behind them, Zhou Qianlin looked at Lan Jue. "You brought me here for a checkup?"
Lan Jue paused. "Yeah!
I'll give you a checkup!
Where do you want to go? "
Zhou Qianlin was speechless. "Then let's get started. You can take me home when you're done."
"Alright. Sit cross-legged on the bed," Lan Jue said.
"On the bed?" Zhou Qianlin glanced at Lan Jue's bed. She blushed.
Lan Jue realized what was going on. "I'm sorry, that's not what I meant.
Please don't misunderstand! "
Zhou Qianlin rolled her eyes at him and sat down on the sofa. "Here."
Sitting cross-legged, Zhou Qianlin straightened her back. Lan Jue stood behind her. From this angle, he could see her slender and fair neck extending to her back, narrowing to her waist, and finally turning into a round and attractive curve at her buttocks.
In the past few years, because of the sadness and gloom in his heart, Lan Jue had been restraining and suppressing his feelings. But since he met Zhou Qianlin, he found that he couldn't suppress his feelings in these two aspects.
Especially every time he saw Zhou Qianlin, he didn't dare to look at her for too long. He was afraid that he would treat her as Hera again.
Zhou Qianlin didn't see any movement beside her. She subconsciously looked back and saw Lan Jue staring at her.
When Lan Jue saw her blue eyes, he too came to his senses. He hurried over to her and sat down cross-legged behind her.
He pressed his palms on her back.
But just as his palms were about to touch her back, he paused. He took a deep breath and stabilized his mind. Then, he really touched her back.
Through her clothes, he could still feel the softness of her skin. Lan Jue calmed his mind and silently activated his ability. Under the control of his mind, it gently entered Zhou Qianlin's body.
Spirit Caller Gem:
"Just relax a little."
"En."
In fact, Lan Jue had already checked her body at Zhou Qianlin's house that day. At this time, he was just confirming it again. In his opinion, it was just a formality.
After a while, Lan Jue withdrew his hands and said, "I can now confirm that you weren't sick. It was a sign of awakening."
"Awakening?"
Zhou Qianlin stood up and looked at him in confusion. "Although I don't know much about ability users, I don't think there's anyone who awakened their ability at my age."
Lan Jue said, "It's not that there aren't any, but it's very rare.
But now, I can't feel what your ability is.
Anyway, awakening your ability is a good thing for you. Even if this ability can't make you stronger, it's not a problem to strengthen your body.
Are you willing to learn how to cultivate your ability from me? "
Zhou Qianlin glanced at him. "If it doesn't reduce your bodyguard time, then learn."
Lan Jue rolled his eyes. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would blackmail someone with kindness?"
Zhou Qianlin smiled. "Who knows?"
Lan Jue found that as long as he was with her, his emotions would fluctuate easily. This was a world of difference from his usual calmness.
"Okay, I'll teach you.
I'll teach you a meditation method. Go back to meditate every day and silently feel the changes in your body.
After a period of time, if there are obvious changes, tell me and I'll help you adjust your cultivation method. "
At that moment, Lan Jue taught a set of basic meditation methods to Zhou Qianlin.
Zhou Qianlin was very smart. He only had to explain the two sides and she already understood it completely.
After trying a few times, she meditated and entered a state of meditation. And the first time, it lasted for more than an hour before she woke up.
"Take me back." Zhou Qianlin ended her short meditation and said to Lan Jue.
Lan Jue hesitated for a moment. "Want to eat together?"
Zhou Qianlin glanced at him. "If it's as good as the other day, then let's eat." She was obviously referring to the bluefin tuna from the Gourmet.
Lan Jue said helplessly, "I'm afraid not.
Compared to the Gourmet, I'm far behind when it comes to cooking.
Simple dishes are fine, but it's getting late. Aren't you hungry? "
Zhou Qianlin asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Lan Jue said, "I'll just make you something."
"You?" Zhou Qianlin looked at him in surprise.
"What?
Do I not look like I know how to cook? "Lan Jue asked.
Zhou Qianlin nodded. "You don't look like one.
I won't be poisoned, will I? "
Lan Jue's expression froze. "I don't need to poison you. I want to strangle you right now. What should I do?"
"Come on!" Zhou Qianlin moved closer with a smile.
Lan Jue raised his hand to pinch her neck, but stopped a few inches from her neck. He snorted and walked to the kitchen.
"Just wait.
It'll be fine in a while.
Whether it's delicious or not, it won't kill you. "
Zhou Qianlin covered her mouth and chuckled, but followed her.
"What do you have here?" she asked, leaning against the kitchen door.
Lan Jue pointed to the refrigerator.
Zhou Qianlin opened the refrigerator door and looked around. Then she said, "There are no mice in your house."
"Why?" Lan Jue had just found his pot.
Zhou Qianlin said, "Because I'll starve to death."
Lan Jue moved closer to take a look. The refrigerator was eighty percent empty. There were some drinks, a few eggs, and tomatoes. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
"Well … let's go out to eat.
Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice! "Lan Jue said awkwardly.
He really hadn't gone out to buy food. Usually, it was Xiu Xiu who bought it for him. But he hadn't been home recently, so the refrigerator was naturally empty.
"Do you have noodles at home?
Do you have seasonings? "Zhou Qianlin asked.
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat. "I don't know. But when I went to Taihua last time, I thought there would be wild game to eat, so I bought a lot of seasonings.
Look. "
As he spoke, he waved his right hand in the air. There was a flash of silver, and a pile of things appeared on the table.
The silver light came from Thor's Oath.
Not only were there ordinary seasonings, but there were also some spices and vegetables.
Because it was stored in the Dimensional Storage, it was quite fresh.
"I think we have noodles too." Lan Jue pulled out a bag of noodles from his cupboard.
"No need to go out to eat.
You wait. "Zhou Qianlin rolled up his sleeves and pushed Lan Jue out.
