Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1356: Chapter 1356

“Ruining such a beautiful dress.” Meng Shuqing pursed her lips and said, “You said you can’t bear to wear the dress; if you met the designer, wouldn’t you go crazy?”

“Tang Yue is my favorite designer, bar none!” The moment Jian Xing mentioned Star Bright’s designer, her eyes filled with admiration. She doesn’t chase celebrities, but when it comes to this fashion designer, she’s super fond.

Every piece of clothing she designs is Jian Xing’s treasure.

For her clothes, it’s either having two pieces, keeping one as a collection; or having one piece, which she can’t bear to wear, occasionally wearing it just to feel the thrill.

“If I could take you to see the designer, how would you thank me?” Meng Shuqing asked Jian Xing with a proud and honored look.

Jian Xing’s eyes instantly lit up. The next moment, she stared at Meng Shuqing, asking, “You know Designer Tang? The one who’s won countless design awards?”

“Uh-huh.”

Meng Shuqing thought: More than just knowing.

“So you can take me to see Designer Tang?” Jian Xing gazed at Meng Shuqing, stars in her eyes.

Meng Shuqing cleared her throat and decided to stop keeping her in suspense, saying, “The Designer Tang who’s won countless awards is my mom.”

Your mom?

Jian Xing was dumbfounded.

…

Half an hour later, Jian Xing had just finished a video call with Tang Yue, her face flushed. Meng Shuqing couldn’t help but tease, “Xing, you look like you’ve just seen your beloved!”

“I did see my beloved!” Jian Xing blinked and said, “You don’t know, ever since I first encountered Star Bright’s clothes, I’ve loved them. Later, I even looked up the designer specifically. Designer Tang is your mom, and her legend, I know it clearly. I really admire her!”

Jian Xing’s praises of Tang Yue were all from the heart.

Meng Shuqing felt even prouder.

“Chenchen, don’t you also make clothes?” Jian Xing’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Meng Shuqing.

Being stared down like this by Jian Xing, like a wolf, Meng Shuqing couldn’t even argue if she wanted to.

Jian Xing lunged forward, grabbing Meng Shuqing’s hand, and said, “Chenchen.”

“Not today, it’s too late; tomorrow, tomorrow then. Besides, I plan to make myself some pajamas.”

“Okay, okay.”

“Tell me about your mom’s story, won’t you?” Jian Xing persistently pulled Meng Shuqing to ask.

Meng Shuqing somewhat regretted it; if only she hadn’t revealed it so readily.

Although she’s proud of her mother, repeating the same things over and over did make her feel parched.

The next day, right after class, Jian Xing dragged Meng Shuqing to her house.

Meng Shuqing originally planned to make pajamas and even some clothes for An Bai. Therefore, she still had materials at home.

“Which fabric do you like? You choose.” Meng Shuqing had bought a lot of materials for pajamas, several types, but her favorite was still pure cotton. In the summer, she preferred silk, ice silk that felt cold and smooth against the skin, but in the fall, cotton pajamas were still her favorite.

“This one.” Jian Xing liked simple styles, and she also chose cotton. She said excitedly, “Pajamas are easier to make, right? Why don’t you teach me?”

“Right, it is indeed simpler than others.”

Meng Shuqing became the teacher, teaching Jian Xing how to make pajamas.

Pajamas count as relatively simple, and you don’t need to have too many fancy, complicated styles.

Meng Shuqing had made pajamas before, so she had the patterns. She and Jian Xing had similar builds. Once they agreed on the style and size, she began cutting the fabric.

To ensure Jian Xing genuinely made clothes herself, both began almost simultaneously. Meng Shuqing showed her how to do it, and Jian Xing followed along, learning very attentively, reviving the spirit of preparation for her exams.

The two of them were focused on making clothes.

Outside, the door sounded.

Meng Shuqing had just finished cutting the clothes and was surprised to see An Bai, asking, “Weren’t you supposed to work overtime at the company?”

“The company isn’t fully operational yet; going to the company is pointless. Since I handle work on the computer, being at home is just the same.” An Bai noticed that Meng Shuqing was in good spirits and asked, “Had dinner? How about we eat together?”

“Xing’s here as well. I’ll order takeout later,” Meng Shuqing replied as she walked into the room. The large living room had their workspace over by the balcony.

“I’ll order from the restaurant.”

An Bai made a call, and soon dinner was sorted; just needed to wait for delivery. An Bai asked, “Are you teaching her how to make clothes?”

An Bai knew Meng Shuqing could make clothes. However, she seldom did it personally. He remembered a few years ago when she made a set for him, which he has yet to wear, afraid of wearing it out.

“Yes, we’re making pajamas.” As soon as Meng Shuqing finished speaking, An Bai said, “Chenchen, make a set for me too.”

“Sure.”

Meng Shuqing didn’t refuse; she’d planned to make something for An Bai anyway.

An Bai was suddenly delighted — pajamas made by Chenchen for him.

An Bai didn’t disturb them, returned home to get his laptop, and intended to work from there.

“Does he also live in this building?” Jian Xing wasn’t aware that An Bai lived next door to her.

“Yes.”

“He doesn’t live next door, does he?” Jian Xing guessed offhandedly.

An Bai walked in with his laptop and said, “You guessed right; I live next door.”

Jian Xing: “…”

It felt like she turned into a huge glowing lightbulb. Would it still be timely to say she’d go home now?

But, the clothes weren’t finished yet.

Jian Xing carefully finished the cutting and looked at the cut fabric. She felt quite accomplished.

Meng Shuqing then taught Jian Xing how to sew the cut fabric together.

First, she needed to learn how to use the sewing machine. Hers was an electric one, pretty easy to get the hang of, and she taught carefully on the side. The light spilled over her profile, making her look gentle and beautiful.

An Bai initially intended to process a few files. Still, with such a pleasing scene, he was reluctant to miss it, so he moved his phone and took a picture.

In the living room, Meng Shuqing and Jian Xing were speaking in low voices. An Bai sat by the sofa handling files. Raising his head, he could see Meng Shuqing, making these dull files seem more pleasing.

Before long, the restaurant delivery arrived. Although the restaurant was expensive, it was worth it for the great taste, and it was Meng Shuqing’s favorite.

Even the packaging method was different — high-end and stylish food boxes. Once the lid was opened, the aroma filled the air, and soon the previously empty dining table was fully laden with food!

“Smells so good.”

“Chenchen, I’m taking advantage here.” Jian Xing whispered in her ear, “Don’t mind me being the third wheel. I’ll leave once I finish the pajamas.”
