Chapter 38 is great, I love reading it.
Su Ying'er's makeup and styling are in the style of a traditional Hanfu worn during the autumn harvest.
The scenic area in Huangling, Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province, has made the autumn harvest custom famous, which has gradually formed a new style of clothing photography and has been imitated by similar scenic areas in other regions.
"Is it nice? It's alright, isn't it?"
Su Ying'er wore a light yellow top with a cross-collar Hanfu style, a long ramie skirt, a small apron tied around her waist, and a small floral headscarf, creating a fresh and refined pastoral poetic style.
Zhou Lang thought to himself, "It's really a bit strange not being able to see her long, white legs anymore."
However, she said, "This outfit suits you very well, it looks good on you, I love it."
Generally speaking, the Hanfu costumes and makeup offered in popular tourist attractions tend to be elaborate, gorgeous, classical, and luxurious.
For example, in ancient capital cities such as Xi'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Nanjing, the most common styles are the bright and colorful Tang Dynasty-style high-waisted ruqun, the elegant and ethereal Song Dynasty-style beizi moxiong baidiequn, and the graceful and dignified Ming Dynasty-style stand-up collar double-breasted or round-necked dajin jacket paired with a mamian skirt.
The "Autumn Sunning Girl" style in Huangling features a matte, clear, and long-lasting makeup look. The rented clothes are in low-saturation colors with Hanfu elements, blending the style of ancient Huizhou farmhouses and mountain dwellings. They have a touch of the natural playfulness of a village girl, while also possessing the lively and cute charm of ancient costumes.
Take Su Ying'er's outfit as an example. There is no exquisite heavy embroidery or dazzling gold and silver jewelry. The simple and plain color matching complements each other.
Corn yellow, pumpkin orange, off-white, and apricot color, it's as if you're wearing the harvest of the mountains and fields, perfect for taking photos in the picturesque towns and villages.
The two got into the car, and Su Ying'er went around to the passenger side and opened the car door.
"Eh?"
She let out a soft exclamation of surprise and delight.
In the Defender 90, above the glove box in front of the passenger seat, instead of an interior panel like in other vehicles, there is an open storage compartment that can also be used as an off-road grab handle.
Zhou Lang thought that since he was picking up a little girl to play, he might as well fill this area with plush toys and bouquets of flowers.
So what Su Ying'er saw was two clusters of pink roses, surrounding several teddy bears and Kapibala dolls.
"These little toys have a bit of a 'straight man's aesthetic," Zhou Lang laughed. "I didn't have time to carefully select them, so I just grabbed a few from the store."
Su Ying'er shook her head vigorously: "He's not a straight man at all, he's very cute."
She lovingly picked up a teddy bear.
These teddy bears are dressed in different clothes: some are in suits and ties, some are in Land Rover mechanic clothes, and some are in retro detective outfits holding cameras.
Su Ying'er thought to herself, "How is this not thoughtful? He clearly selected these figurines very carefully."
Someone gave her such a fun little thing, how could she possibly have any reason to be picky?
Recalling Zhou Lang's words praising her Hanfu outfit, Su Ying'er smiled brightly and replied verbatim, "It looks good, I love it!"
"That's good, let's go."
"Hmm, my headscarf is a little loose, please wait a moment~"
Su Ying'er adjusted her posture, adjusted the sun visor, and used a small mirror to tidy up the floral scarf on her head.
Seeing this, Zhou Lang, in order to save time, reached out and pulled the passenger seatbelt to help her fasten it.
This action made Su Ying'er mistakenly think that Zhou Lang was going to get close to her and do something, so she suddenly became timid, held her breath, and stared at him nervously and in surprise.
Seeing that he was just adjusting the seatbelt, Su Ying'er thought she would breathe a sigh of relief, but there seemed to be a faint sense of disappointment that something had fallen through.
She regained her usual liveliness and cheerfulness, patting her legs that were covered by her long skirt: "Sorry, bro, there are no legs to see today."
Zhou Lang didn't take it seriously. When it came to this kind of teasing, he would have to engage in this kind of banter with the young married women eight times a day at the company: "Those who are interested don't need to be taught. Just deliberately cross your legs later and let your skirt slip down, or just be direct and lift it up. You can see it either way."
Su Ying'er scoffed and gently pinched his arm: "That depends on your photography skills, brother. If you don't take good pictures, there won't be any reward."
The Guardian 90 started up and drove along the stone-paved road into the town.
"Brother, can I take a picture of the inside of the car?"
"No problem, whatever."
Su Ying'er snapped two photos with a smile, then searched through WeChat.
She got along well with three female classmates, but due to occasional minor conflicts, the four of them split into four groups.
These are small groups without A, B, or C, and a large group of four people.
Su Ying'er never complains in small group chats, only in large group chats. She posted a selfie she had just taken inside her car in the large group chat, along with the caption:
[Su Ying'er]: I didn't go to Wuyuan, but I still took some photos of the autumn sunflowers. Xiashan County is quite fun, I'd like to recommend it (let me see emoji)
Soon, Mo Keyun, the woman who had abandoned her, was the first to reply in the group chat.
[Mo Keyun]: Still playing in that poor place, Xiashan?
[Mo Keyun]: You didn't start dating that Audi guy, did you?
Then, her two other best friends chimed in.
[Loves Spicy Chicken Noodles]: What!
[Loves Spicy Chicken Noodles]: My Ying'er is in love? No way, that kind of thing!
【ฅ^Stranded^ʅ】: What Audi guy? The car Ying Er is riding in looks like a Land Rover.
[Mo Keyun]: (Surprised)
[Mo Keyun]: Wait a minute.
[Mo Keyun]: I asked my ex-boyfriend, and he said that there are also low-end Land Rovers that cost around 200,000 yuan.
[Mo Keyun]: Ying'er, be careful, don't get scammed by someone offering a cheap car.
[Mo Keyun]: Isn't there that meme online? After Land Rover was acquired by Chery, the names of the cars produced domestically in China seem to be aiming to challenge the longest names on the internet.
[Mo Keyun]: Chery Jaguar Land Rover Range Rover Evoque L
[Su Ying'er]: (Laughing and crying)
[Su Ying'er]: Ke Yun, you should try to have less contact with your ex-boyfriend in the future.
While playing on her phone, Su Ying'er would occasionally glance at Zhou Lang's profile.
"Mo Keyun... she has a particular fondness for judging people by their luxury cars, yet she's the one who knows the least about good cars..."
Su Ying'er blurted out, "Brother, it's a good thing Mo Keyun didn't know your Audi RS that day, otherwise, she would definitely have been super enthusiastic and attentive to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ying'er regretted it a little: "Um... I shouldn't have talked about my friend behind his back, brother. I'm sorry, just pretend you didn't hear it~"
Zhou Lang said with a laugh, "Ying'er, your friend dumped her car on you and made you carry it around. She got a flat tire, and you were comforting her the whole way, but she just left you and went home first. You only said one thing about her behind her back, which is already quite kind of you."
"If it weren't for your sake that day, and the fear that you'd be too embarrassed to ride after kicking her off the bus, I definitely would have made that woman get off."
"Oh..." Su Ying'er curled up shyly.
"Being kind and soft-hearted is a good thing, but sometimes you also need to be a little tougher."
"Okay~ I know, bro." Su Ying'er's eyes were full of smiles as she stole a glance at Zhou Lang.
Unexpectedly, playing with the older brother, his way of handling things and his emotional support, was quite novel and enjoyable for her.
