Chapter 161: I Specially Designed the Costume
Gu Mang cocked her head to one side as she raised her eyebrows. The wickedness coming from the corner of her lips was overwhelming.
Xiao Han’s heart skipped a beat as she hastily shifted her gaze away while cursing, “Menace!”
Zhou Xintang left the washroom and saw Gu Mang bringing a man backstage at Ming City High School. The man’s side profile seemed to look familiar. Frowning, she was unsure if he was the person she knew.
However, given that person’s status, why would he be in a place like this? Moreover, even though Gu Mang might be Sheng Ting’s choreographer, she probably did not have the honor of inviting him. With her mind wandering, she returned to the experimental high school’s dressing room.
Zhou Xintang’s deskmate came to look for her and met her at the entrance of the dressing room. The former hook her arm as they headed inside.”Xintang, are you sure that you’re not going to wear the clothes you designed during the rehearsal? You’re planning on debuting it during tomorrow’s celebration?”
“Mhm, there are still some flaws with the shirt. I’m changing it now.” Thinking about the gorgeous clothes that her team took more than a month to design and tailor, she felt pleased. “That piece of costume is specially designed by me.”
Making the costume was complicated and laborious. It involved Su embroidery and Goldwork embroidery which were time-consuming and demanding. She would wear it personally and follow the models up on stage to show off her new piece to everyone. She really wanted to know who drew the original draft and was eager to recruit the person onto her team.
Her deskmate laughed. “With you around our school will definitely outperform Ming City High School during the celebration. Their school can only show off Gu Mang who is just good at dancing.”
Hearing these words, the smile on Zhou Xintang’s lips faded.
Her deskmate had been friends with Gu Mang for several years and knew her well. Seeing her acting like this, she immediately changed her words. “But there’s nothing great about Gu Mang. Compared to your popularity, she is a far cry from you.”
Zhou Xintang raised her head and spoke arrogantly, “Don’t compare anyone to me.”
Her deskmate nodded and fawned over her. “That’s right, you ranked top five in our school for academics and you’re one of the popular candidates for this year’s science scholar. On top of that, you’re a genius designer. What is she?”
...
The rehearsal started at 5 P.M.
It did not take long because they simply followed the order of appearance on stage. Zhou Xintang arranged for her specially prepared performance to be at the end. Gu Mang and the rest were right before Zhou Xintang. Her motive was obvious.
After confirming where they would stand on the stage, Gu Mang and the rest came down. Xi Yan and Lu Yang were carrying milk tea and snacks as they waited below.
Xiao Han touched his chin and pondered as he looked at their makeup. “The stage’s lights are slightly dimmer so the makeup needs to be thicker.”
How much makeup they needed depended on what the stage required of them.
Gu Mang was devoid of expression as she replied tepidly, “Up to you.”
“Relax, I’ll definitely let you guys outshine the rest!” Xiao Han patted his chest and promised them. All of a sudden, his phone rang and he shot a glance at it before speaking to Gu Mang, “I still have a bit of work, I’ll come back tomorrow.”
Gu Mang nodded and replied, “Mm.”
Xiao Han picked up his makeup box and left.
The last performance was by Zhou Xintang’s Modeling Club and they had already come out on the stage.
Rumors had it that Zhou Xintang had spent a few months designing a costume and that she would present it to everyone during the celebration.
Shen Huan turned her head to look and only saw seven people from Experimental High School’s Modeling Club on the stage. There was someone missing.
She asked with confusion, “Didn’t Experimental High School’s Modeling Club register eight people? Why are there only seven on the stage? Is the last one planning to surprise everyone?”
