Chapter 386 - 387: Being In The Spotlight-IV

The curtain was pulled high. Out of all the guests and people attending the fashion show with their eyes glued close to the stage with eagerness and curiosity, only Xiao Yun and Chuan Huan Jing waited for the last dress with a different reason like none others. Zi Gong who sat in the place where Chuan Huan Jing was supposed to sit at felt the upmost uncomfortable to sit beside Zhu Yi Nan. The man kept looking at him which had him wondered that maybe he had a taste in the same s.e.x relationship even though deep down he knows he wasn't looking for the reason.

"Still in Azure?" Zhu Yi Nan piped, his body leaning forward to see how Zi Gong had his eyes on the stage, pushing the frame of his glasses beside his ears. Zhu Yi Nan wrinkled his brows and nose at how Zi Gong had ignored him like a fly he didn't know he was very similar to in Zi Gong's mind. Zi Gong was sure that if he wasn't looking at the stage but at the man's face, he would slap him like the annoying fly he was.

"Lemme tell you something good as a brief acquaintance we had in the past." At this Zi Gong finally looked at him slightly at the corner of his eyes to witness the smug wide grin spread ears to ears at Zhu Yi Nian's face. "It's better for you to find a new work place. I can see the future that after today Azure will turn to dust in the ground." He then laughed aloud, throwing his back to the chair. Some guests who was behind him was uncomfortable with the action as he had laughed like a madman inside the hall.

"Trust me. It will save you some times." He said.

Zi Gong only spared a look that had no expression and said, "Likewise." Zhu Yi Nan was left puzzled by the words he gave, not understanding what he meant by likewise.

The model of the last dress entered. In the second, everyone's sight was taken away by the red colored dress that looked like a vermillion red color, golden threads embroidery filled the dress but it wasn't all, everything was glowing when lights hit the dress as most of the dress were made out of thin gemstones. Seeing the dress, the judges who sat in the opposite side of Zi Gong was also surprised by the gown. It was glowing as if the entire fabric was created with gems.

Lin Chang Lu who sat from afar observed the judges' expression and saw how each one began to talk to each other with an astonished face before nodding in approving stance. She didn't need to guess, it was a full mark for her! She was winning! Even when Xiao Yun comes out with the same exact design, they would see her as shameless and she could tell that now in the backstage Xiao Yun must be panicking which was why she hadn't arrived here yet. The grin she had spread wider when Wang Yan Shi murmured, "Amazing!"

And came the next company Azure, Xiao Yun had wore the dress adorning her slender hand, her collarbone stood out and the snowy white color made her entire complexion gleaming. All models from Azure have went out and one by one began to walk on the stage. The first five dresses were in the opposite design of Golden Tree, the dress itself had the people to watch twice, some even hoping for the model to walk slowly so they could admire the dress a little longer. But confusion spark when the fifth model walked on the stage. The woman was wearing a plaid dress, in the autumn brown color swatch with tight waist and a closely long skirt that puffed out to create an elegant look.

The dress was accompanied by high boots in brown color and gloves in black color there was coats to accompany as the weather had turned cold. There was no mistaking it the dress was frighteningly similar to the dress Golden Tree had!

The attention gathered, everyone whispering that the once silent room became rowdy with people expressing their confusion to how the dress was similar. The judges too was in a fired discussion, that Xiao Yun and Lin Chang Lu could see. Qingge, Wang Shi Ning, and Wang Yan Zhi too was confused with the dress and they look at Lin Chang Lu. The woman was clever to pull a frown in her forehead and a puzzled expression as if she was very surprised with what she had seen.

"What's this? They're the same!" Wang Shi Ning looked at Qingge who couldn't understand the situation either. The situation was bizarre! What was the odds for the same dress, with the same design and color to be present in one fashion competition?

The model than walk to the backstage and the conversation died down. They all stare at the stage this time to see if the next clothing would look like. One time could be coincidence but what about twice? However, what followed was a different clothing with accessories lining on both ears and necks, making it beautiful to see that had people rethought their opinion earlier, thinking that perhaps it was a coincidence. It was one of a life surprise coincidence but the guests began not to think much about it.

Lin Chang Lu who had been in the sideline finally question the strangeness of Azure. A month prior, Lin Chang Lu made a deal with Zhu Yi Nan, offering both what each of them wanted from each other. She instructed Zhu Yi Nan to steal designs which is the most beautiful ones, holding captive of all the designs she had stolen and choose the best amongst all. And when it was known that Azure was invited to the Spring Fashion Competition, Zhu Yi Nan has stolen most of the designs which would be use by Azure... But so far there was only one similar clothes that corresponded with hers.

What was happening here? thought Lin Chang Lu with a frown, her eyes search for Xiao Yun who was not yet present in the hall for answers.
