Chapter 380 New Year
On New Year's Eve, Zhou Yushi went out very early, and his immediate family, headed by his grandfather, probably left the house very early as well. However, when Della and Bellinda got up at about the usual time, they walked to the door and looked through the crack, and saw that there was still a stream of people in front of the gate.
The Tang family is a large and prosperous family that has existed for a long time. The reason there is only this family here is because this is a house only for the selected head of the family to live in.
It looks more like the emperor and the palace.
Della thought, looked at the seemingly endless flow of people, and went back to her fitting session with Belinda.
Della pulled out the magic wand that had not been used for a long time, and chose a plain straight-collared, double-breasted long gown. She remembered that it was called a jacket, and carefully used the magic wand to alter it to a size that suited her.
Zhou Yushi had started preparing this wardrobe of clothes a long time ago, and it was prepared according to Bellinda's size. There was nothing to complain about. Della knew that she was completely unexpected, and she was very grateful that both parties were willing to share with her.
"You have good taste, Della. I think that suits you very well." Belinda took the flying fish dress from last night. She had been infected by the prosperous New Year everywhere and immediately chose the festive color. "Come on, let's change quickly, and then you use magic to make a mirror to show me the effect."
Della went to her makeshift fitting area. She was a little confused about the tube tops and pleated skirts, not knowing in what order to put them on. Then the linings came to life and fluttered in a line, and the belt that had just been untied began to swing, as if beckoning her to put them on.
Zhou is really careful.
Della checked the clothes carefully and found that they were cast with a spell. After confirming that there was no problem, she put them on one by one.
The straight collar and double-breasted design give this dress a subtle first impression and also visually make Della's body look longer. The knee-length gown is slit to the waist, revealing the folded skirt that moves with every step. This graceful charm is only revealed on the sides and hem of the skirt, without appearing frivolous.
It looked very nice. Della's long suppressed love for dressing up was aroused. She put on a pair of Song-style shoes with a cyan cloth cover and slightly upturned toes, and tried to walk two steps by herself, her eyes fixed on the movement of the clothes from head to toe, her satisfaction and joy were beyond words.
Then her slightly curly black hair fell in front of her eyes, and Della discovered the flaw in this.
She doesn't have a hairstyle to match this dress!
Wearing your hair down or in a simple braid will definitely not match this simple and elegant outfit.
Della's perfectionism kicked in, and she wouldn't have wanted to go out if Belinda hadn't been waiting for her outside.
As soon as the curtain was drawn, Belinda's back was revealed as she sat in front of the dressing mirror. The gray dressing table that had always been there had all its compartments opened, revealing all the precious jewelry inside. Some of the jewelry pieces were floating in the air, fiddling with Belinda's brilliant blonde hair.
Blonde hair is too light for those jewels.
Della thought so, and for the first time she was proud of her black hair. She walked to Bellinda, who was looking heroic in a red dress. The two of them praised each other for a while, and both smiled and waited for the jewelry to do their hair.
They tried on one piece after another, took pictures of each other, and gradually became dissatisfied with the monotonous environment of the guest room. Already familiar with the front yard and garden, they simply dressed up and went out, trying to show off the clothes according to their own understanding.
Time passed as the two of them were happily dressing up. It was getting dark, and no one had returned yet. Della was not in a hurry for them to return. In fact, she still had some thoughts of re-evaluating those clothes under the moonlight, but thinking of the huge group of people she saw in the morning, she thought that the big house would be closed tonight, so she persuaded Belinda to go back to the courtyard with her.
Bellinda and Della slept in the second bedroom today. Although Zhou Yushi told them not to wait for him, they still got up an hour later than usual. Seeing that there was really no movement, they turned off the lights. Not long after they fell asleep, a series of explosions made them suddenly open their eyes.
Thinking there was danger, Della subconsciously raised her wand. She and the panicked Belinda looked toward the window. There was a large area of flickering light. The regular explosions and colorful flames told of the harmlessness of these light spots.
Della and Bellinda leaned over to the window. Through the glass, they saw points of light rising into the air. They hovered for a short while, trembling, and exploded at the moment of falling. Thousands of golden scales fell, and red crumbs, green light, and purple rays complemented each other.
One fleeting visual impact passed, and another one came right after. The dense sound of "bang bang" filled people's whole mind with the staggered "bang bang" sound, and all they felt was shock.
"Let's set off firecrackers..." Della said unconsciously in her poorly pronounced Chinese. At this moment, the depression of more than ten years in her heart was briefly shattered. She whispered to Bellinda, "Happy New Year..."
The amber color of Bellinda's face was filled with fireworks. For the first time, her amorous eyes were casually touched by the outside world. Amid the deafening sound of firecrackers, the piano music that was vaguely visible in her memory completely disappeared. "Yes, it's a new year."
Belinda took Della into her arms. As an adult, she felt that she had grown up again at this moment. "Happy New Year! It's time to welcome a new beginning."
She said this to Della and to herself.
