The hot pot restaurant is always lively at noon on Saturday.
Shen Li and Lu Huaiyu chose a corner seat by the window, the bottom of the pot gradually boiled, white mist rose, and the rich aroma whetted the appetite.
Lu Huaiyu declined the waiter's help, and personally helped her order the same dishes.
Tender beef, crispy tripe, yellow throat.
Everything was scalded just right, and then scooped up and placed in her bowl.
The small dishes in front of Shen Li's eyes were never empty.
She took a sip of the iced Coke and immediately felt refreshed.
Lu Huaiyu saw that her hands were stained with drops of water from the Coke bottle, and said again:
"hand."
Shen Li handed over her hand.
He just wiped her hands clean with a hot towel, which was delicate and gentle, and couldn't be more natural.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard for outsiders to imagine that the second young master of the Lu family, who has always been cold and dignified, can take care of people so easily.
"Any plans for this afternoon?"
Lu Huai asked.
Shen Li shook her head:
"No, I've been quite free recently, and I plan to go home and draw."
Lu Huai nodded, and was about to say something more when Shen Li's cell phone rang.
Lu Huai and Wu Wu glanced at it, and saw that it was a series of numbers without notes.
But Shen Li was obviously no stranger to this call, so he picked it up casually.
"Hello."
"Ms. Shen, hello! I'm calling to confirm with you again. Are you really not going to the National Fashion Salon held at the Beijing Art Center this afternoon?"
Shen Li's tone was calm and polite:
"Yes, I have other arrangements in the afternoon, so I won't go."
Lu Huai looked at her while talking on the phone, while picking up a shrimp slip, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
This arrangement is quite busy.
The other party was obviously very disappointed.
They have been preparing for this salon event for a long time, and all the top domestic fashion designers are invited. Shen Li is very popular now, if she can attend, it would be great.
But they invited for a long time, but Shen Li never agreed.
"Then, well... then you are busy, so I won't bother you for now."
The other party said and hung up the phone.
Shen Li put down the phone.
Lu Huai asked:
"Someone invites you?"
"Well, it's a domestic fashion salon." Shen Li shook her head, "I'm not interested, so I won't go."
Such salon activities are actually more for socializing and exchanging resources, and she is too lazy to deal with them, so she simply refused from the beginning.
Lu Huaiyu had guessed her thoughts all over the place, and immediately nodded in agreement.
"If you don't want to go, just don't go."
Ten minutes later, Shen Li's cell phone rang again.
Just as she was about to refuse, she found out that it was Yu Pingchuan's call.
She put down the chopsticks, leaned back, and then took it.
"Brother?"
Lu Huaiyu looked up at her.
Yu Pingchuan asked:
"Ari, are you busy this afternoon?"
"It's okay, what's the matter, what can you do with me?"
Yu Pingchuan didn't usually call her very often, but today this came suddenly.
Yu Pingchuan coughed lightly.
"Well, if it's convenient for you, do you want to go to the salon in the Beijing Art Center?"
Shen Li didn't expect that he made this call for this matter, after a little thought, she guessed what it was.
"They found the senior brother here?"
"Hey, it's actually because one of the designers who organized this salon is a friend of mine for many years. He wanted to meet you very much. He knew you didn't plan to go. It's a pity. In the end, the call came to me."
In fact, Yu Pingchuan was also very embarrassed.
On the one hand, he is a friend, and he finally opened his mouth once, so he can't refute this face.
On the other side is Junior Junior Sister. He knows her character too well and knows that she has no interest in such things.
He was in a dilemma, and finally made the call.
"If you have other things to be busy with, go ahead and do it, and you should come first in everything." Yu Pingchuan added.
Shen Li understood that it was not easy for him to make this call, so she immediately said:
"Actually, there is no arrangement. Don't worry, I will go there later."
Yu Pingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and told her to take a good rest before hanging up the phone.
She put away her phone, and exchanged a glance with Lu Huaiyu.
"Now, there are arrangements."
…
Of course, the face of my senior brother must be given.
After eating the hot pot, Shen Li went home to take a shower and changed her clothes before going to the Beijing Art Center.
The salon started at four o'clock in the afternoon. She arrived relatively late, almost stepping on the clock, and everyone else had already arrived.
In the hall, everyone gathered in twos and threes.
They are all from the fashion circle, and today's salon has a very high standard, and at first glance, everything is glamorous.
In comparison, Shen Li's attire in a black sweater, blue jeans, and a pair of white shoes seemed too simple.
As soon as she entered the hall, someone yelled in a low voice:
"Ning is here!"
Suddenly, the whole hall fell silent, and everyone looked at her.
Everyone looked different.
Shen Li is now a well-deserved figure at the top of the domestic fashion design circle.
But she is too young and too dazzling, so that everyone's perception of her is quite complicated.
Envy, envy, look up, reverence, curiosity...
Under the impact of many emotions, it was better to see her at this time, but not knowing how to deal with it.
In comparison, Shen Li is much more at ease.
She lifted her foot and walked inside, her expression calm and calm.
She has not been famous for a long time, but she was at her peak when she debuted. So far, she has only held four big shows, but she has reached a height that many people can only look up to in their lifetime.
Coupled with her lazy personality and low-key style, many people even saw her for the first time today.
Shen Li gradually heard some discussions.
"That's Ning? Real people are more beautiful than photos and videos!"
"Didn't you say she wasn't coming?"
"Who knows... why don't you go up and say hello?"
"Ah? But I haven't had time to say hello to Yu Yu... Didn't it mean that the thirteenth member of the Baicheng Fashion Association will be announced today? I heard that it has already been confirmed to be Yu Yu! Ning is good, but Compared with Yu Yu's status as a member, it's much worse!"
The left ear was inflamed, and it hurt even around the ear, and I felt my brain buzzing and hurting.
good night tonight~
