Wang Sirui was reproached and didn’t dare to speak, glancing at the wooden stick in his hand, then comparing it with Pei Yan’s and Chen Yao’s. None of them matched, so it had to be Qin Hao.
"The two of us will be a team." Wang Sirui compared his wooden stick with Qin Hao’s, and sure enough, they were the sa length, he said sullenly.
Chen Yao walked towards Pei Yan, raised his long stick with a smile, and said, "The two of us will be a team."
Upon hearing Chen Yao’s words, he looked at him with envy.
He really wanted to team up with his idol.
"Once you’ve confird your teammates, head to the store with a flag, complete the task according to the requirents, and the guest who finishes first will receive a sumptuous dinner and a reward," the director said.
"Now, set off."
As soon as the words fell, everyone hurried toward the first shop with a flag.
The male guests ran the fastest, while Qin Yun stayed a step behind to take care of Yang Leqi.
When the two arrived, they found the male guests standing there helplessly, listening intently to a woman in a green qipao saying sothing important.
They approached and learned that she was the shop owner, an inheritor of the oil-paper umbrella craft, who introduced with elegant deanor, "The oil-paper umbrella is one of our country’s intangible cultural heritage crafts. The process is extrely complex. You just need to adhere the umbrella surface and get the master’s approval to pass."
Beside them, there were several masters making the skeletons of oil-paper umbrellas, and next to them was paper that was pre-made into oil paper.
Each one of them looked a bit at a loss. They were skilled at heavy-duty work, but when it ca to sothing ticulous like this, especially for soone like Chen Yao, he was worried that even a slight force might ruin the thin paper.
"Each person takes a skeleton and so oil paper and learns how to paste from the masters," the shop owner said, handing out a skeleton and oil paper to everyone.
Yang Leqi, who aced her handicraft classes as a child, confidently took hers and sat aside.
At this mont, Wang Sirui regretted it. He suddenly thought Yang Leqi would have been a great partner...this is when it matters most!!
But the only two girls had ended up getting paired together.
Everyone ticulously brushed the glue and followed the masters’ thod to paste bit by bit.
Yang Leqi and Qin Yun were okay, their work wasn’t perfect but at least presentable.
When it ca to Chen Yao and Wang Sirui, their work turned out crooked as if they were competing to see who would paste more sloppily.
Yang Leqi and Qin Yun were quite fast and soon almost finished.
"How are you guys so fast!!" Wang Sirui exclaid imdiately when he saw the two nearly done.
"No way, it’s just talent. Wasn’t soone just complaining about holding them back and refusing to team up with ? I think it’s pretty good now; luckily, I didn’t team up with you, or I’d probably need to make an extra one," Yang Leqi said appreciatively.
Wang Sirui: "..."
Feeling a bit hurt.
Pei Yan was slow at first, but then he got faster and pasted quite well. Qin Yun, seeing him catching up, imdiately sped up, and the two seed to be competing, finishing one after the other.
As for Chen Yao, he had just started pasting his second piece.
The first one was still crooked.
Yang Leqi and Qin Yun promptly called a master to check. Upon approval, Yang Leqi smiled sweetly at the rest, "We’ll be leaving now~"
Qin Yun turned back and found Pei Yan staring at her, blinking in confusion, "??"
Then she heard Yang Leqi in front shouting, "Sister Yun, let’s go, what are you doing?"
Qin Yun imdiately left Pei Yan behind and walked over to Yang Leqi.
The two arrived at the next flag-marked shop, a Hanfu shop.
"Hello, is there anything we can help with?" Yang Leqi went in first and asked.
"There are several Hanfu shops around here, so business isn’t great. I hope you can wear Hanfu to help attract custors. If we can get ten people inside, the task is complete," the owner sighed.
Then, the owner pointed to six sets of Hanfu hanging nearby and said, "You can freely choose two sets to wear."
Qin Yun looked at four n’s outfits and two won’s outfits, contemplating.
She asked, "Can we choose only won’s costus or either gender?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Leqi’s eyes lit up, instantly understanding and exchanging a knowing glance with Qin Yun, both breaking into smiles.
If they chose n’s outfits, then two of the four male guests would have to wear won’s Hanfu.
The thought of Wang Sirui in won’s Hanfu made Yang Leqi laugh.
The owner, being perceptive, said indulgently, "You can pick anything you like."
Qin Yun and Yang Leqi decisively chose two sets of n’s Hanfu. After changing into them in the back, to better match the outfits, they even tied up their hair, dressing up as young gentlen.
The owner handed them each a folding fan.
When Chen Yao and Pei Yan arrived, Qin Yun had her back to them, standing at the door attracting custors.
Yang Leqi, naturally lively, feigned elegance with a fan covering her lips as she smiled, though it couldn’t hide the joy and excitent in her eyes.
Qin Yun, dressed in n’s attire, had her hair up with only a hairpin, and with a gentle smile, her almond eyes shone brightly, truly resembling a fair young lad.
"Hey handso guys and pretty girls, interested in checking out so Hanfu? Today we have a grand sale with great discounts. If you’re curious about Hanfu, feel free to co inside and take a look. No obligation to buy, it’s all about exploring," Yang Leqi’s crisp voice rang out.
Chen Yao didn’t initially react, but upon hearing Yang Leqi’s voice, he burst into an astonished smile, "Leqi? Qin Yun? Why are you two dressed like this?"
Qin Yun turned her head, and Chen Yao stared at her dumbfounded, "You, you two..."
With a faint smile in her almond eyes, Qin Yun slightly raised her eyebrows, "What?"
"You look great! But you still lack a bit of heroic spirit; it’s clear you’re won," Chen Yao thought seriously without overthinking it.
Pei Yan’s gaze was firmly on Qin Yun, sothing indescribable flickering in his eyes. He fiddled with his fingers, suddenly curious about what Qin Yun would look like in his clothes, surely even more stunning.
"Whoa! Yang Leqi? Sister Yun? Are you guys cosplaying?" Wang Sirui ran over in a hurry, and upon seeing their outfits, shouted in shock.
"Brother Chen, Mr. Pei, go in quickly and choose your clothes. We’ll talk after you co back out," Yang Leqi’s face fell at Wang Sirui’s words, and she quickly called out to Chen Yao.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yao and Pei Yan exchanged a glance and ran into the shop.
Seeing the two running inside, Wang Sirui followed suit without saying another word.
