Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 851 - 850: Leaf Dress

Mu Xiaoting was taken aback for a moment, then nodded seriously, "I think your suggestion isn't bad, so can you help me out? It seems a bit difficult for me alone."Chu Ge was sweating with disbelief inside. Did this Miss Mu really not catch his sarcasm?

With an expression of being unable to laugh or cry, Chu Ge rolled his eyes at Mu Xiaoting and waved the things in his hand, "Let me finish these first, then we can talk."

Hearing what Chu Ge said, Mu Xiaoting finally noticed the pile of vines, leaves, and branches in front of Chu Ge. She took another bite of the nameless fruit in her hand, curiously came over to Chu Ge's side, and squatted down.

"What are you doing?"

Chu Ge also picked up a nameless fruit, took a bite with a munch, and said indistinctly, "Making clothes."

"Huh? Just with these things? Making clothes? Won't it look terrible?"

Chu Ge's mouth twitched a few times and almost choked on the juice of the fruit. He really found Mu Xiaoting more and more impressive. At this time, her main concern was whether the clothes would look good?

Damn, this is really a late-stage 'princess syndrome'!

Chu Ge fiddled with a piece of vine in his hand, casually picked up a few nameless fruits beside him, and stuffed them into Mu Xiaoting's hand.

"Alright, go inside and stay put. Don't mess with me here. Once I'm done, you can wear it or not."

"I'm just asking, no need to be so fierce, seriously..."

Mu Xiaoting was also speechless, but still obediently went back inside as Chu Ge instructed. She sat on the shabby little bed, munching on a few fruits, then lay flat on the single bed, stretching her somewhat achy body.

Before this moment, she never knew that a few wild forest fruits could taste so sweet or that turning over freely on a bed could be such a blissful thing.

After a short while, Chu Ge opened the door and came in. He no longer looked particularly scruffy; at his waist and hips was a pair of large leaf shorts tied with vines, with the leaves overlapping tightly down to almost his knees.

Mu Xiaoting was lying down. When she heard the door open, she glanced sideways at Chu Ge. Her eyes immediately brightened, and she sat up from the bed.

"Chu Ge, I didn't expect you to have some artistic talent! This pair of shorts you made is pretty good!"

"To be praised by you, Miss Mu, is truly an honor," Chu Ge teased, handing what he held towards Mu Xiaoting, "Try it on. If it doesn't fit somewhere, I'll tweak it."

Compared to Chu Ge's large leaf shorts, what he prepared for Mu Xiaoting was undoubtedly intricate, clearly a dress.

When Mu Xiaoting got a clear view of the dress in its entirety, she was dumbfounded. Her mouth was open, but seven to eight seconds passed without her uttering a single word.

"What are you daydreaming about? If you think it looks bad and don't want to wear it, I'll just throw it away, troublesome to serve..."

Chu Ge looked at Mu Xiaoting speechlessly, seeing her not making a sound for so long. He was finally getting a bit impatient. However, before he could finish saying "serve," Mu Xiaoting suddenly reached out and snatched the grass skirt.

"Oh my gosh! Chu Ge, how did you manage this? With just these things, you made such a beautiful piece of clothing! You... you're simply a genius!"

Mu Xiaoting gripped the shoulder part of the grass skirt with both hands, her big monolid eyes radiating a fervor; it was like a man who had been imprisoned for years suddenly seeing a gorgeously adorned woman.

Seeing Mu Xiaoting's fondness for the skirt, Chu Ge naturally felt quite happy. After all, this meant his hard work was acknowledged, yet he still thought Mu Xiaoting's reaction was a bit over the top, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

"Hey, hey, is it really that exaggerated? This little thing, is it worth making such a fuss over?"

"It's definitely worth it, of course, it's worth it. You know, I studied fashion design, and my designs have even won awards at the provincial level!"

Looking at Mu Xiaoting's proud expression, Chu Ge couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to himself that if she had a father who was the provincial party secretary, it wouldn't be surprising for her to win an award. To be honest, even if she made a pair of large shorts, the judges would likely praise her to the skies, right?

Moreover, Chu Ge could somewhat understand Mu Xiaoting's over-the-top reaction upon seeing the dress too. This time it wasn't a 'princess syndrome,' but rather a 'vocation syndrome.'

This sort of thing is quite normal: an English major visiting a supermarket would habitually look at the English labels, and someone selling flooring would naturally check out the material and price of the flooring wherever they go.

With these thoughts in mind, seeing Mu Xiaoting so thrilled, Chu Ge didn't want to dampen her spirits. He really wanted to hear more of what Mu Xiaoting thought about this grass skirt.

"Chu Ge, you know, the so-called clothing design refers to the overall artistic effect of clothing formed by its design elements. The classification of design elements is divided into style, color matching, and fabric from the concrete aspect, and point, line, surface, shape, body, color, texture, and light from the abstract aspect. The so-called silhouette of clothing refers to the backlight silhouette effect..."

Chu Ge's lips twitched. Mu Xiaoting was talking to him about this stuff, but he wasn't interested at all. However, if he interrupted her, it might dampen her rare enthusiasm. Since he had known Mu Xiaoting, it was the first time he had seen her so excited.

"The skirt you made, whether in terms of design or silhouette, whether looking at it from the whole or in detail, resembles... or is almost identical to the style of the famous German designer Bernhard Willhelm. Don't be fooled by his reputation as a meticulous German; he is revered as a designer who successfully interprets fairy-tale colors."

"Did you know, years ago, he designed several outfits themed around flowers and trees? When I first saw his collection, I could hardly believe my eyes. I thought I'd never see clothes that could rival his series in my life, but... but... oh my gosh!"

Mu Xiaoting pressed the grass skirt tightly against herself, her face blushing with a sense of enchantment and intoxication, her hands trembling slightly, as if the grass skirt in her hands was a rare treasure.

Seeing Mu Xiaoting gripping the skirt like that, Chu Ge had to remind her, "Uh, be a bit gentle, this thing isn't that sturdy..."

Hearing Chu Ge say so, Mu Xiaoting suddenly snapped out of it and loosened her grip a bit, "Yeah, yeah, sorry, I was too, too excited."

She took a deep breath, and her chest rose and fell slightly more calmly, murmuring to herself, "If I ruin such a perfect work of art, it would be a sin. I wouldn't forgive myself."

Chu Ge rolled his eyes, thinking that if he had known Mu Xiaoting would be like this, he would have made something simpler. Now it's great; hopefully, Mu Xiaoting hasn't become obsessed with it?

"Alright, stop acting crazy, put it on quickly. Don't you want to leave this crappy place?"

Mu Xiaoting swallowed, looked at the grass-leaf dress in her arms, and then at Chu Ge, "Can I really wear it?"

Chu Ge slapped his forehead with a "smack," "Nonsense! If you don't wear it, should I? If you don't put it on, I'll just throw it away and we'll leave."

Mu Xiaoting took a few more deep breaths, as if making a big decision, and slowly handed the grass-leaf dress to Chu Ge.

Since the material was limited, there was no way to have a zipper or anything, she could only wear it with Chu Ge's help to pull it over her head.

Just as Mu Xiaoting was about to hand over the grass-leaf dress to Chu Ge, she suddenly pulled her hand back slightly and said, "Wait."

Chu Ge almost got frustrated to the point of collapse by Mu Xiaoting; he looked at her, half laughing and half crying, "My dear aunt, are you done yet? What's wrong now?"

Mu Xiaoting raised her hand to touch her nose, cautiously placing the grass-leaf dress on the wooden bed, "Um, I want to go to the bathroom first."

Chu Ge sighed and waved his hand feebly, "Go, go, why are you so troublesome..."

While Chu Ge was speechless, Mu Xiaoting asked him a question that made him crazy, "Um... Chu Ge, do you have toilet paper?"

"Do you think I'm Doraemon? My underwear is even made of tree leaves; in this wilderness, where am I going to get you toilet paper?"

Mu Xiaoting fell silent, looking even more embarrassed. She had asked that without thinking, and after spending the night with Chu Ge, she unknowingly developed a feeling that this man named Chu Ge could do anything.

Although Chu Ge felt frustrated, he still asked, "Number one or number two?"

Mu Xiaoting whispered very softly, "Number one..."

"Why would you need paper for number one? Just hurry up. If you really want to wipe, you can pick some leaves; there are plenty outside."

Mu Xiaoting stood there without moving, looked at Chu Ge hesitantly, murmured something under her breath, forced a smile, and walked towards the door.

Actually, she wanted Chu Ge to accompany her, but seeing his impatient face, she thought it best not to speak. However, when she reached the door, she eventually stopped and turned her gaze back to Chu Ge.

"Um... will you go with me?"

Facing Mu Xiaoting's pleading look, Chu Ge rubbed his throbbing temples, feeling utterly defeated by her. Does she really need his company to use the bathroom? Didn't anything he said to her before get through?

"Um... it's not that I'm scared to go by myself, I, um... I'm just afraid you'll be scared staying in this room alone, so I want you to come with me for courage."

Chu Ge chuckled; this Mu Xiaoting, her tsundere nature is actually... quite cute.
