Chapter 197 About Design
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Yixin tapped Gu Xiran's head lightly with chopsticks, and said dissatisfiedly, "I've been absent-minded since I entered the door, and now I'm thinking about other things when eating. I finally cooked for you Make something to eat, and you will repay me like this!"

"Oops..." Gu Xiran looked at Lin Yixin innocently while clutching the thing that was beaten on his forehead.After hesitating for a while, he said in a low voice, "You know, what kind of friendly match my school is holding with the exchange school during this time, and the design theme was just announced today, am I thinking about my design!"

"Think about your design!" Lin Yixin immediately put the chopsticks on the table after hearing the explanation.He raised his eyebrows and hugged his chest, and said with a look of disbelief: "To be honest, what are you thinking?"

"Why, you said you were thinking about designing." Gu Xiran curled his lips, his eyes drifted away unnaturally, and he was very reluctant to continue this topic with Lin Yixin.

"Since you don't want to say anything to me, I don't think there's any need to eat tonight's meal. You're not interested in these things anyway." As he spoke, Lin Yixin stood up and prepared to clear the table.

"I haven't finished eating yet, why did you take the table away!" Gu Xiran, who was thinking about things before, didn't move his chopsticks at all, seeing Lin Yixin being so desperate, immediately snatched his favorite dish anxiously and kept it behind him.

"If you want to eat, you can. To be honest, I will let you continue to eat. Don't try to use the excuse of being distressed by the design to perfuse me. I know that you have never shown such an expression when it comes to design. You have always felt that it is a challenge and you are mostly excited. " Holding the plate, Lin Yixin threatened Gu Xiran, clearly not intending to let Gu Xiran get away with it.

"Okay, let me say it's okay! If you want to know me this much, you won't have any privacy at all." Taking advantage of Lin Yixin's relaxation, Gu Xiran snatched back the plate of food from Lin Yixin's hand.After eating, he said unconvinced: "After the design theme was announced today, the school arranged for us to visit. Then... I saw Yi Rou in the museum."

"Yi Rou?" Hearing this name, Lin Yixin frowned involuntarily.I always feel that Yi Rou is haunted, and she will meet and hear her wherever she goes.Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Lin Yixin asked; "She appeared in the museum, is she here to find someone?"

"Well, she is indeed here to find someone. And this person is Lucia who had a one-on-one communication with me at the Italian Academy of Marangoni." Gu Xiran nodded and said.

"Lukia... a talented European designer who has already made her mark in the design world at a young age and became the youngest designer to hold a fashion show at Milan Fashion Week. She has been praised by many design masters and is known as the Italian and even European designer. A rising star in the fashion world." Just hearing a name, Lin Yixin gave the exact information about Rukia.In his tone, he also expressed his appreciation for Rukia.

"It seems... your opponent this time is very strong, this friendly match is very tricky!" After some thinking, Lin Yixin sincerely did not have much confidence in Gu Xiran's chances of winning this match.

"The opponent is indeed very strong, but it doesn't mean that I have no chance of winning." Gu Xiran really felt a little discouraged when her boyfriend had no confidence in him.Dissatisfied and protested a few words, reminded ferociously: "Furthermore... we are clearly discussing why Yi Rou appeared, why are you dragging the competition for no reason!"

"Okay, okay, pretend I didn't say anything." Lin Yixin quickly apologized when he realized that he had said something wrong.To prevent Gu Xiran from getting angry, Lin Yixin brought the topic back: "Have you been speculating today whether the relationship between Rukia and Yi Rou is a coincidence or a long-planned plan?"

"Well, that's what I was thinking about." Gu Xiran nodded and admitted, and then said what he guessed: "If it's a long-planned plan, Lucia has always been in Italy and just came to New York recently. And Yi Rou's network , except in China, I only have a little contact in New York. The two of them have no intersection at all, and it is difficult to get to know each other beforehand. Besides... when I first met Rukia, she was quite friendly to me. She said a lot about herself I have never heard that she met a friend named Yi Rou in New York."

"But if you want to treat this as a coincidence, you think it's too strange, there must be ghosts in it." After hearing the first half of the sentence, Lin Yixin immediately guessed what Gu Xiran hadn't said yet.

"Yes, it's because of this that I feel conflicted." Everything went back to the original point, and Gu Xiran frowned in distress.

"I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter. You can prepare for the design of this friendly match without worrying about it." Poured a glass of fresh orange juice, Lin Yixin thoughtfully placed it by Gu Xiran's hand, and explained softly .

"As for the design, I have already had an idea. The prototype of the work is already in my mind, and I plan to draw the first draft later." Talking about the work he designed, Gu Xiran smiled very happily.

"The theme of your design this time is environmental protection, and the materials you need to use for the design are still non-traditional materials. You just went to a museum to visit, and you got inspiration so soon?" Seeing Gu Xiran's confident appearance, Lin Yixin couldn't believe it asked.

"That's right, I already have an inspiration. Wait for me for a while, and I'll be fine soon." After drinking the orange juice prepared by Lin Yixin in one gulp, Gu Xiran wiped his mouth and told Lin Yixin a few words, and ran upstairs to the studio past.

A few minutes later, Gu Xiran hugged the things he brought back and ran to Lin Yixin.And spread out all the preparations in his hand for the design on the table, looked at Lin Yixin with a face full of treasures, and began to introduce.

"Originally, when I heard the design theme, I didn't have any idea about the works to be designed in this friendly competition. But after I have been to the museum and seen the designs of those masters, I have a lot of ideas."

As he spoke, Gu Xiran took out a long black coat from a pile of photos on the table and placed it in front of Lin Yixin, then pointed to the coat and said, "This coat is the latest among the exhibits I saw in the museum. One of my favorites. It is made of discarded tires, and the master preserved the texture of the tires well during the design, and it is well displayed after being made into a coat.”

Holding the photo and comparing what he said to himself, Gu Xiran pointed out the dark lines on the coat one by one.

"Because the original material of the tire is relatively heavy. Therefore, a winter coat has become a very good choice. Using the original characteristics, the coat presents the space cotton effect that is very popular recently. On the collar, shoulders and hem , the geometric design is not out of the ordinary. So this set of works can be used for display, and the wearability is quite good. Although the master did not design matching souvenirs, I think the matching works of this work are the easiest to shape of."

"So... you plan to learn from this work and design a work that shows the coexistence of wearability, right?" Gu Xiran introduced enthusiastically, and Lin Yixin grasped the key point.

"Yes, I intend to design works that are both displayable and wearable. And... I take this friendly match as an opportunity, an opportunity to promote myself and 'ink'."

"Promote yourself? Promote 'Mo'?" Lin Yixin looked at Gu Xiran suspiciously, not quite understanding.

"Online sales are no more than sales in physical stores. Its sales volume is huge, and it goes at a short, flat and fast pace. So when the first batch of 'Mo' clothing is launched and the sales are over, you will find that the sales volume has begun to decline. This is not the case. It means that our products are not good, but we already have what we like, and people will not buy it repeatedly. Then, when sales are weak, we must launch new products to stimulate sales and tap sales. And this time... If I win the friendly match, my work will be displayed in the museum, and the souvenirs I designed will also be sold on the official website of the Environmental Protection Association and in major museums. This will be a great topic and a very good one. A good way to present it."

From the moment he heard about the rewards for the friendly match, Gu Xiran had this thought in his heart.So she attaches great importance to this competition, not just for the school, but for more things.

"That is to say... You are not just planning to design two sets of clothing this time, but you want to take this opportunity to design a series." As the boss, Lin Yixin thinks this idea is very good.But as Gu Xiran's boyfriend, he felt that Gu Xiran would be too tired.So I was worried about this: "Will you work too hard like this, a little too tired."

"Others are individual designs, and I have a team to help. As long as I come up with the preliminary design, I will ask the company to help with the rest. So don't worry, I won't work very hard." Gu Xiran hugged Lin Yixin's neck was soothed by sitting on his lap.

"Since you have already made a decision, if you need my help, just ask." Knowing what Gu Xiran decided, he has no control over it, so Lin Yixin can only do his best to help.

"For the design used for display, I plan to use waste tires, cans and garbage bags as the material of the work, and the style of the design is positioned as a gothic punk style. Using black garbage bags as the basic material, and waste tire cans, it is made Decorate in various shapes. For the same series of souvenirs, I can use these decorations and design them as simple T-shirt dresses. In this way, the price of souvenirs does not need to be high, and the wearability will be great. It’s sure to be very popular up there.”

Although Gu Xiran has not yet fully determined what the specific designed work will look like.But for the general plan, she still has a very detailed plan, and she is very confident in her plan.

"Since you have made your decision, then do it. I will fully support you." After listening quietly, Lin Yixin expressed his support to Gu Xiran.

The feeling of doing what you want without any worries, and having someone behind you to solve your problems makes Gu Xiran feel very at ease.Gu Xiran immediately used practical actions to send a sweet kiss.
