No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 65 The Mysterious Banquet
At 03:30, Zhuo Qingshan received a call from An Youlin, asking her to meet him at a clothing store on the commercial street in an hour.Zhuo Qingshan arrived at the clothing store "Candy&Gilles" on the commercial street on time. The clothing store has three floors and the door is not too big.Among the tall buildings, the shops are even more inconspicuous.The edges of the door and window of the clothing store are black, and the window stands on both sides of the door, with two wooden headless mannequins standing inside.

Each model is wearing a different style of evening dress, among which a black evening dress is particularly dazzling.One arm of the model is slightly bent up, and the other arm is drooping. The long skirt of the gown smoothly spreads around the body along the legs, and a silver ribbon follows the texture of the long skirt all the way down.

The black evening dress is glamorous and glamorous, which makes people unable to divert their eyes.And like a black swan on a ballet stage, it exudes a suffocating temptation, even if it is impossible to escape bad luck, it is willing to blend into it, even for a moment.

Zhuo Qingshan seemed to hear the sound of cello and organ ensemble music. She took a deep breath and walked into the store holding an umbrella.With the sound of a bell, Zhuo Qingshan put the umbrella away on the umbrella stand, and a long-haired man appeared beside the sofa in the living room.

"welcome."

The long-haired man was tall and slender, with a pale complexion, wearing wine red pants, velvet shoes, a white shirt and a dark green vest.

Zhuo Qingshan didn't know whether to mention An Youlin: "My friend and I made an appointment here..." "I see, please sit down!"

The man invited Zhuo Qingshan to sit down by the sofa, then waved to a double door behind him, and a beautiful girl appeared.

"Ma'am, what would you like to drink?"

Zhuo Qingshan was in a trance for a moment, she subconsciously glanced at the door, and made sure that she had walked into a clothing store instead of entering a certain house by mistake.

"coffee……"

Zhuo Qingshan tried her best to make her voice sound confident, but it still sounded a bit timid.

"Please wait."

The girl went back inside the double doors.

Zhuo Qingshan regained her composure and looked around, high roof, circular wooden staircase, fireplace, stone brick walls, wooden bookshelves and a small number of wooden models in evening gowns.

"Miss, what should I call you?" "My name is Zhuo." "So it's Miss Zhuo." "What should I call you?" "Gilles."

A faint smile appeared on the man's pale face. "Miss Zhuo, do you want to order an evening dress with your friends?"

Zhuo Qingshan was speechless for a while, she shook her head and said with some embarrassment: "It's just that my friend asked me to wait for him at this time, but he hasn't arrived yet."

Zhuo Qingshan looked at the time, it was already [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and there was still no sign of An Youlin in front of the door.

"Excuse me, are you An Youlin's friend?"

Zhuo Qingshan nodded.

At this time, the long-haired girl came out with a cup of coffee, and the man named Gilles said to her, "Tell Candy that An Youlin's friend, Ms. Zhuo, has arrived, please get her ready."

Zhuo Qingshan, who took the coffee, didn't come to her senses for a moment. An Youlin had already been here earlier?

"Excuse me, An Youlin has been here? When will he arrive?"

"Mr. An ordered an evening dress for Miss Zhuo. You can go upstairs and try it on later."

Zhuo Qingshan drank the fragrant coffee and looked towards the circular staircase. Next to the staircase was an oil painting of a woman in evening dress.

A few minutes later, the girl came down the stairs and asked Zhuo Qingshan to go upstairs. Gilles followed behind her.On the second floor, a curly-haired middle-aged woman stood in front of a huge mirror. Her smile was a little stiff, as if half of her face was unable to express.But Zhuo Qingshan read sincerity and joy from her eyes.Standing beside the woman was a handsome man holding a delicate white paper box in his hands.

"Hello, Ms. Zhuo, I'm Candy, your dress designer, before trying on your dress, please come to the dressing room."

Like an ignorant child, Zhuo Qingshan came to a dressing room at the mercy of others.A bald-headed man wearing eyeshadow was waiting for her. The man glanced at Zhuo Qingshan's face and said in a feminine voice: "My dear, your skin is good, but you should take better care of it, otherwise, too terrifying……"

Zhuo Qingshan was sitting on a chair, being smeared on her face with various makeup tools by the man, and her hair was also being manipulated by the man.Half an hour later, Zhuo Qingshan changed her appearance. The makeup on her face was not heavy. Whether viewed from a distance or from a distance, she had a noble and beautiful temperament surrounding her body.Her hair is slightly curled forward and then blended into the back along the left side of her forehead.

"Miss Zhuo, please come with me, let's try on your evening dress."

When Zhuo Qingshan returned to the room with the huge mirror, the handsome man was still holding the cardboard box.The small room behind the mirror is the dressing room. Zhuo Qingshan took the cardboard box that the man handed her and walked into the dressing room.

In addition to a light yellow evening dress, there is also a pair of high heels in the cardboard box.Zhuo Qingshan changed into a light yellow evening dress, but she didn't expect it to fit her very well.The evening dress perfectly set off Zhuo Qingshan's figure. She looked at herself in the mirror in surprise, and subconsciously performed the movements of a model wearing a black evening dress downstairs, her face flushed slightly.

Zhuo Qingshan wore a light yellow evening dress and walked out of the dressing room on high heels. Gilles and Candy whispered a few words, and then Candy smiled and said to Zhuo Qingshan: "If Ms. Zhuo came to measure it personally, the effect is still good." It will be better."

"You mean, this evening dress is the size An Youlin told you?"

Zhuo Qingshan didn't understand, how did An Youlin know her size?Could it be that I was drunk the night before... No, no, how could it be possible that it only took two days to make an evening dress?

"Mr. An said that you can't measure it yourself, we have to make it based on experience." "How much does this suit cost?"

Zhuo Qingshan could see that this evening dress was expensive, and she didn't understand why An Youlin would order an evening dress for her.

"It's free," Gilles replied immediately, "because Mr. Ann..."

Before Gilles finished speaking, he heard a voice from the side of the stairs continue, "Because this kid owes me a favor, and he wants to pay it back with his tux!"

I saw An Youlin walking over with a black leather bag in one hand and a black umbrella in the other.

"I have reminded you many times, don't bring umbrellas in, there are..."

Before Gilles finished speaking, An Youlin pressed the tip of his umbrella against his chest, and nodded lightly: "If you encounter trouble in the future, don't beg me!"

Gilles smiled helplessly with his head down.

"Lizi, do me a favor, clean me up!" An Youlin said to the bald man, "Just let me do it at night!"

The bald man Lizi smiled and winked at An Youlin: "No problem!"

Before An Youlin walked into the dressing room, he turned his back to Gilles and shook the umbrella in his hand: "Lend me your outfit, anyway, you won't be able to wear two at night..."

Gilles gave Candy a resigned smile again and followed into the locker room.

Zhuo Qingshan was not used to stepping on high heels, Candy saw it, and she led Zhuo Qingshan to another spacious room on the second floor.In the center of the room is a long table with several lights above it.

"Come on, take a few steps and try."

Following Candy's instructions, Zhuo Qingshan walked on the long platform step by step, and quickly mastered the walking skills of evening dress and high heels. Candy nodded with satisfaction: "You learn so quickly."

At this time, Zhuo Qingshan had confusion surrounding An Youlin in her heart. "May I ask, did the favor that An Youlin told Gilles just now help?"

Zhuo Qingshan was already ready to be rejected, but Candy smiled and replied: "Mr. An helped solve a very troublesome matter. Although it was easy for him, we are still very grateful! "

Saying it is equivalent to not saying it!Zhuo Qingshan didn't like to complain, she just complained unhappily in her heart.

When Zhuo Qingshan followed Candy back to the room with the big mirror, An Youlin was already waiting for her.An Youlin was wearing a formal dress, his scruffy beard was clean-shaven, and his hair was neatly combed.

Zhuo Qingshan opened her mouth wide, she couldn't believe that An Youlin would have such a neat and handsome side.

Lizi moved to Zhuo Qingshan's ear and whispered: "Cinderella will change back to her original form at midnight. I advise you not to take it too seriously!"

Zhuo Qingshan didn't understand what Lizi meant, but before she could ask any more questions, Lizi blinked mischievously, twisted her body and returned to An Youlin's side, and pressed her arm on An Youlin's shoulder provocatively Deliberately showing it to Zhuo Qingshan.

Zhuo Qingshan blushed for a while. "It's getting late, it's time for us to go!" An Youlin said as he walked towards the circular staircase. He looked back at Zhuo Qingshan who was in a daze, "Follow me!"

Back downstairs, it was still drizzling outside, and the long-haired girl held an umbrella for the two of them and sent them to An Youlin's dilapidated car.

Seeing An Youlin start the car quickly, Zhuo Qingshan asked: "Where are you taking me?" "Didn't I tell you? I want to participate in an event!"

"What activity?"

The wiper was swinging regularly in front of the two of them. An Youlin smacked his lips and said, "Can't you tell? Of course I'm attending a dinner party!"
