Forgot Her Favourite Colour
Chen Ziyi took her blue Acer swift 3 and placed it on the sofa before texted her address personally to Han Meirong.
Chen Ziyi: [Thank you. Call me when you on your way to my house tomorrow.]
Han Meirong: [Okay.]
Chen Ziyi put her Iphone on the table then pulled the Acer charger cable to plug into the plug socket behind the sofa. She then was contemplating about something before texted Han Meirong again.
Chen Ziyi: [Meirong~]
Han Meirong: [Yess?]
Chen Ziyi: [What clothes that we should wear tomorrow?👉🏻👈🏻]
Han Meirong: [Usual outing clothes]
Meanwhile, at the same time in Han Meirong's house, Han Meirong was also in the midst of spring cleaning her bedroom. She was asking her brother's help to take out the big box hidden in the far-tallest rack in the wardrobe. She forgot what was in the box so the curiosity hit her as she did not want to forget to pack any significant things that she must be bring along with her to her new school. Her taller brother was complaining to her why would significant thing would be kept so far when Han Meirong got more reply from Chen Ziyi.
Chen Ziyi: [What kind of usual? What you would be usually wearing to such occasion?]
Han Meirong was speechless upon reading the reply. It was two weeks ago the last time she met Chen Ziyi and she was the first person who saw the different Chen Ziyi. Although she could recalled how unusual Chen Ziyi act at that time, she still could not get accustomed yet with how she suddenly changed her attitude. She scrolled back to read back her conversation with Chen Ziyi.
Han Meirong: [It will be just a simple gathering.]
Chen Ziyi: [ Then, I can just wear any t-shirt and skirts tomorrow? What kind of restaurant FuGui is?]
Han Meirong was silenced for a while before she replied back. She just remembered the attire code that Fugui outlined for their guest.
Han Meirong: [Aaah~ I get it.]
Chen Ziyi: [Yes.. ]
Han Meirong: [You are Chen Ziyi right?]
Chen Ziyi: [Yeah. Who do you think you're sending text with?]
Han Meirong: [HAHAHA. Nevermind. Of course I sending text with you. ]
Due to her past that she kept competing with Zheng Shuyu in every way, she somehow lost on herself where she had no idea on which style and trend that fits her most. Loosing so much in the Zheng's gradually made her lose confidence as she grew up to an adult. She even almost forgot her favourite colour and lose her own identity.
However, that confusion came into end when she entered into working society as there were friends who are pretty nice to guide her and even some promoters were generous giving her few suggestion. But that experience could not be applied on her right now as she currently still a teenager, and her needs of giving positive impression right now must be different compared to when she was an adult. Even trends are different.
Every person would choose different clothes to fit with certain occasion, objectives, places and purposes. Some adults choose comfortable working attire to be at most comfortable when they were working hard. Meanwhile, some of them were willing to wear any kind of clothes as long it fits with their temperament or to boost their confidence. As they say, good clothes make the man, good shoes take you to good places.
Meanwhile, kids who were at Chen Ziyi's age right now were at the most important age. The age where they would want to look the best and give positive impression towards their friends. They would at least have their own ideal and try to step-by-step search for more styles that suit with them.
Chen Ziyi's past experience only deal with adulthood settings and due to her loosing so much in the Zheng's, she had no idea on what to wear for tomorrow meet up. Although it was just a simple meet up where they would mostly eat and have a chat, she would still need to give her best impression towards her classmates.
At most she know from her experience, this age also would be the start of kids her age would start to make their own cliques by relying on their impression towards each others. This meet-up would be a last chance for her to rekindle or to start friendship with them. Not that she was desperate to have a friendship with them, but it does not hurt to maintain one.
Chen Ziyi wanted to dress nice in front of her friends, but at the same time she did not want to be seen like she was trying too hard to impress them. So she was thinking a simple dress that will still look casual but not too extravagant.
Han Meirong: [I thought you would just barge in tomorrow with whatever clothes you have in mind]
Chen Ziyi: [What do you think I am?]
Han Meirong send with a smirking face emoji: [Heh~ Who knows. ]
Han Meirong chuckled at her own brave sarcastic reply to Chen Ziyi when her brother finally managed to take out the box from the rack. She took the box and swept the dust to the floor. Seeing no reply from Chen Ziyi, Han Meirong wanted to text when she suddenly stop type the text. She tapped into the group messages, then made an announcement.
HanMeirong: [Announcement!! Girls. Tomorrow, wear something like smart casual. A simple dress is pretty nice. Though it was a hotpot restaurant, I choose the good one. The shop are the type who are quite well known for their good image, so do not wear revealing or too short dresses. Lu Zixin, don't just suddenly come with shorts and sandals!]
Lin Chao-xing: [That would be too hot? Ohh... I forgot they must have an air conditioner😮]
Wan Zhen: [Are you nuts? It's winter season. How it's hot?🤨]
Lin Chao-xing: [I forgot we already in winter. We can see how I was stuck in the house for so long!😥]
Wan Zhen: [DRAMAQueen!]
Lu Zixin: [I thought I was not allowed to come?]
Wan Zhen: [Just join them. It's not like you never barged in their girls meet up🤷🏻♂️]
Da Chunhao: [Yeah. We're entering winter. Don't forget to bring your coat along]
Reading the announcement Han Meirong made in the group, Chen Ziyi replied in the group [Okay. Thank you for the reminder]. Afterwards, Chen Ziyi went to her wardrobe to look for any suitable dress. Once her eyes reached upon a large black clothes protector that hanged in the end of the wardrobe, her eyes turned cold. There was no smile from excitement she felt just now.
She turned her eyes away and rummaged one by one dress that hanged in the wardrobe. Feeling unsatisfied with her lack sense of style, she went to another room where her mother would keep the clothes that both of them rarely used.
Rosehill Residence's unit comes with three bedroom, with one larger than the other two, one bathroom, one kitchen area, and a relatively large living area. When they were moving into the apartment, they were given two option- two bathroom or one bathroom. Chen Rumin chose the one bathroom since it was just her and her daughter. They made a part of the living area as their dining area.
As Chen Ziyi loved to have her study table and bookshelf to be put in her own room, Chen Rumin felt that the wardrobe in the room would not be enough to accommodate their clothes. Thus, she made the another room renovated as their second wardrobe and to keep other things that she thought that they would rarely used in their daily life. The room was arranged as simply so she can easily find things later when she need to do so. The white wall was never repainted as she did not feel the need to do so.
Chen Ziyi took the black clothes protector along with her while walking to the room located opposite of her mother's bedroom. She took a key from a drawer to unlock the door then she went to a white colour built-in wardrobe which was hers. There was two built-in wardrobe and both of it were white colour facing each other. Her mother decided to just use all white wardrobe and shelves to make it easier for them to search and find things.
Chen Ziyi switched on the lamp and unlocked her wardrobe. She then put the black protector to the end hidden hanging in the wardrobe nearest to edge. Although she hate the clothes inside the black protector now, she still put them nicely as they were still just clothes. She should not throw her anger on the clothes. She then turned her eyes away and continued her mission on searching a dress.
