Chapter 193
The next morning, the ladies got up, they washed up and applied makeup on their faces. When they were done getting ready, they headed downstairs for breakfast.
It took Zhong Yuhuan and Ge Mei longer to prepare. Yin Qiqi instantly regretted her decision to wear bright and flashy clothes the moment she saw Zhong Yuhuan walking down the stairs. Yin Qiqi was wearing a V-neck sweater underneath and a red overcoat. Yin Qiqi had seen Zhong Yuhuan wear red clothes before, and after that, she was confident that she could pull off the look better than Zhong Yuhuan. The V-neck sweater accentuates her curves beautifully and the bright red overcoat immediately catches other people’s attention.
However, her plan had gone down the drain when she saw what Zhong Yuhuan was wearing. She had become a foil.
Zhong Yuhuan told them that she wanted to wear traditional Han Dynasty clothing. Yin Qiqi merely thought that Zhong Yuhuan was joking around; she never expected that Zhong Yuhuan would actually wear traditional clothing from the Han Dynasty.
She was wearing a pink and white-colored robe and a snow-white cloak over the robe.
Yin Qiqi wore red.
Zhong Yuhuan wore white.
Zhong Yuhuan’s clothing was much more eye-catching than hers.
There was a lump stuck in her throat, she could neither swallow nor cough it out.
When Ling Lan heard people whispering in low voices, she turned towards the commotion and saw Zhong Yuhuan. She frowned when she saw Zhong Yuhuan’s attire.
Ling Lan lacked presence during the first episode of the program, and she didn’t achieve the desired result after the program was broadcasted. Therefore, she invested more effort into her appearance during this recording.
However, it seemed like her efforts were futile.
Ling Lan had deliberately worn a white overcoat for this episode. Her plan was to give off a retro-styled atmosphere. Her attire actually suited her quite well and it gave off a beautiful, graceful, and pure aura.
But Zhong Yuhuan wore the same color as her.
It meant that only one of them will be able to stand out.
The atmosphere turned awkward for a moment.
Gu Yuling chuckled and said, “If I had known that Yuhuan would look so beautiful, then I would’ve definitely asked to borrow a set of traditional clothes from you! You look so stylish and lovely in this getup!”
In truth, Gu Yuling never tried to look sexy, graceful, beautiful, or smart. Instead, Gu Yuling had always aimed to have a charming and lovable image. Even in variety shows, she dressed like a cute and delicate young girl.
As a result, Yin Qiqi and Ling Lan’s style of dressing never clashed with hers. She was able to stand out without any competition.
On the contrary, Zhong Yuhuan had an elegant and lovable style too and now that she was wearing traditional garments, she stood out more than usual. She looked like the spoiled eldest young lady of a wealthy family in an ancient TV series. Zhong Yuhuan’s attire stole Gu Yuling’s limelight again.
For a while, everyone was staring at Zhong Yuhuan with a rather strange gaze.
Ge Mei arrived after Zhong Yuhuan.
She was wearing a full-chest dress.
She played the role of a princess from the Tang dynasty in one of the dramas she acted in. Her role was quite classic, and she had even enchanted many of the viewers when she was younger. She hoped that she would be able to evoke everyone’s memories of her past with this traditional full-chest dress. She knew that her attire would probably bump her up in the list of trending actresses by the time this episode aired.
Gu Yuling immediately realized Ge Mei’s plan with one glance. She suddenly became even more regretful about her choice of clothes today.
She had also acted in many period dramas, and if she could evoke the audiences’ memories of her in that drama, then it would be great.
But it was pointless for any of them to regret their decision now.
“Are they ready yet?” Zhong Yuhuan asked.
She was asking about the guys.
“They’re already waiting for us outside,” Gu Yuling said while she quickly concealed her emotions and thoughts.
Zhong Yuhuan nodded her head and walked out the door with Ge Mei. The others followed after them in an unhurried manner. They watched as Zhong Yuhuan’s skirt fluttered slightly with every step she took; their hearts immediately started to itch after watching that. They believed that if they wore the same outfit as Zhong Yuhuan, they would’ve looked just as beautiful and fairy-like as her.
Li Jinyuan and the three were all waiting outside in the corridor outside the room for the ladies to get ready.
It took the ladies longer to apply makeup and change, so they decided to wait outside the room for them to get ready. After all, it was somewhat awkward for them to stay in the room with them.
When they heard footsteps approaching them, they turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.
Huo Chengming was the first to make his move.
He walked over and bent down to help Zhong Yuhuan lift up the hem of her skirt. He said with concern, “Don’t step on it or else you’ll trip.”
Zhong Yuhuan kicked the hem of her skirt away and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t step on it.”
Huo Chengming’s gaze unconsciously fell on her feet. She was wearing a pair of embroidered shoes that matched perfectly with her traditional Han Dynasty dress. Compared to the usual high-heels and sneakers that she usually wore; the embroidered shoes were more form-fitting. It made her feet look smaller than usual, giving off the impression that it was possible to wrap your palm fully around her foot.
Huo Chengming felt like he was suddenly hit by a hammer when he realized what he was thinking. He swallowed his saliva to dampen his dry throat.
Huo Chengming tried to tear her gaze away from her feet, but he just couldn’t do it no matter how hard he tried.
Zhong Yuhuan’s feet disappeared from his view when she started walking again. She lifted her skirt up slightly, so it was easier for her to walk while Huo Chengming’s eyes were still glued onto her.
They headed downstairs.
