This is also the standard procedure for newcomers to join the company; Lu Lin has even developed a set of fixed phrases for it.
"Hmm! Then I'd better not take any more pictures, but come and play more often!" Charlotte was very perceptive.
"It's okay, I'll need your help taking pictures of other pictures in the future," Lu Lin said with a smile.
"What picture cards?"
"Hehe, you'll see when the time comes." Lu Lin kept everyone in suspense, stopped in front of a house, pushed open the door, and said, "We've arrived!"
Chiori, who had been observing silently without saying much, raised an eyebrow.
The room was filled with a full range of sewing tools and fabrics, all neatly arranged.
This is actually a tailor shop!
She turned her head to look at Lu Lin in confusion.
Didn't you say you were a complete amateur? This room's furnishings are so professional!
Chapter 116 Giving Chiori a Shock with Sexy Lingerie
Lu Lin noticed her confusion and smiled, "Don't misunderstand, this tailor shop isn't for me, it's for you."
"Prepared for me?"
“I bet after our conversation you’ll have a lot of ideas that you’ll want to put into practice. Feel free to use anything here.”
"Are you so confident?"
"It's not about confidence, it's about believing in you! Enough talk, let's get started!"
Lu Lin pulled Qianzhi to sit down at the table and took out a stack of blueprints from the drawer.
It was only then that Chiori realized that Lu Lin had been holding her hand the whole time.
A hint of shyness flashed across her usually calm face. She pursed her lips, released her grip, and focused her attention on the blueprints in front of her.
The first drawing is a pattern for a white shirt, but it's still a rather unprofessional sketch.
Chiori's discovery of the shirt design at the exhibition was unexpected, but coincidentally, Lu Lin also planned to use a relatively normal white shirt to break the ice and then gradually delve deeper.
After all, it's a bit too abrupt to start talking to a girl about lingerie right away; it might scare her away.
However, one cannot act recklessly just because of the charm bonus from affixes, since the effects of affixes also have their limits.
Lu Lin's approach is to showcase the beautiful figure of women and highlight their intellectual temperament.
With so many female confidantes and a wealth of knowledge about other worlds, he has a lot to say on this topic.
Many of his terms and concepts were very new to Chiori.
For example, the word "intellect" does not exist in Teyvat culture; he introduced this concept.
He even used a picture to help Chiori understand.
It's a picture of Shen He wearing a shirt, black stockings, and a pencil skirt. He took it specifically for Shen He yesterday and told her in advance what the picture was for.
It can be said that they were very well prepared.
The two got along very well, but Charlotte was rather bored. She wasn't interested in fashion design and didn't quite understand what they were talking about.
As I listened, I even started yawning.
Noticing her boredom, Lu Lin took Charlotte to the Jade Pavilion while Qianzhi was revising her sketches.
Wow!!! Is this the Qunyu Pavilion?
I heard that the Jade Pavilion in Liyue crashed into the sea while fighting against the resurrected demons. Why is it appearing in your little world?
Charlotte has a strong journalistic habit; like a curious child, she has to ask about everything new she comes across.
Lu Lin didn't mind telling her about the Chenge Pot.
He knew Charlotte was a very professional journalist; she would keep secrets and not report things recklessly without the consent of the person involved.
After chatting for a while, Lu Lin led her to the study in Qunyu Pavilion.
The study was shared by Lu Lin, Ningguang, and Keqing, and was filled with Ningguang's precious collections and many books.
"Chiori and I will probably talk for a long time. There are many books here, so you can pass the time for a while. We'll come back to you when we're done talking."
You are welcome to visit the collection here, just be careful not to damage it.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here!"
Charlotte, being a journalist, naturally enjoyed reading, and passing the time here was much more interesting than listening to the two of them babbling cryptic nonsense.
This study is where Ningguang and Keqing rest and pass the time at night. They don't bring work documents in, so Lu Lin isn't worried about leaks.
But Lu Lin didn't expect that there was an even bigger hidden danger in the study!
......
Qianzhi worked quickly; Lu Lin had only been gone for a little over half an hour, and she had already made a white shirt according to his measurements.
"You finished so quickly?" Lu Lin was also amazed by her incredible efficiency.
"I become very efficient when I encounter something that interests me."
"It was made to your size, right? Why don't you try it on?" Lu Lin suggested.
"Mmm," Chiori responded and went into the bedroom to change her clothes.
This tailor shop was certainly not that simple; Lu Lin intended it to be a place for Chihiro to live, so it was also equipped with a bedroom.
Changing a shirt doesn't take long, and soon Chiori came out wearing a white shirt.
She was dressed the same as when she first met Lu Lin: a kimono-style top paired with a dark pleated skirt and fake long black stockings.
It combines the traditional Inazuma style with the modern Fontaine style.
But when the kimono-style top is replaced with a simple white shirt, the style changes instantly.
She was petite and did not bear the heavy, abundant fruit of Shen Hexianyun; her size was neither too big nor too small, roughly a C cup.
Therefore, it lacks the explosive visual effect of Shen He's clothes being torn apart.
However, it still gives the impression of clustered peaks, both majestic and full.
Although she didn't achieve that intellectual and sexy effect, she adopted a different style.
The shirt is simple and refreshing, paired with a dark pleated skirt, and combined with her naturally aloof temperament, she is the quintessential cool and aloof high school girl.
"So beautiful!" Lu Lin exclaimed sincerely.
Chiori was also very satisfied with her outfit and readily accepted Lu Lin's praise.
Her gaze toward Lu Lin even carried a hint of admiration: "This combination works very well; if it's promoted, it will definitely become a new trend."
"Haha, feel free to promote it if you want. I won't charge you any copyright fees, but you have to make a few sets and send them to me."
"Of course, no problem!" Since it was someone else's idea, Chiori readily agreed.
"By the way, you just mentioned sexy and sensual, what do those words mean?" Chiori, still wearing her new shirt, continued to ask without hesitation.
“Hmm... this is a bit complicated to explain.” Lu Lin picked out a few drawings from the stack of sketches. “I’ve always felt that Teyvat’s lingerie style is very monotonous, so I have some ideas. Chiori, take a look.”
"Huh? Underwear?" Even Chiori, who always had a wildly imaginative mind when it came to clothing design, didn't react for a moment.
What's so interesting about lingerie?
With this question in mind, she accepted the sketch that Lu Lin handed her.
Her pretty face instantly turned bright red!
Lu Lin has good drawing skills, but they are not professional enough for designers.
Chiori has both design sketches and renderings, and the renderings are incredibly lifelike.
It was a fairly common set of sexy lingerie: suspenders, lace trim, cutout design... just a few elements combined were enough to make Qianzhi blush.
"How could you... design something so embarrassing?" If someone else had given her this kind of picture, she would have taken it as a harassment and broken their legs on the spot.
But Lu Lin had accumulated a lot of goodwill and had a strong filter on her, so she could only ask a shy and timid question.
"Hmm~ Putting aside whether it's embarrassing or not, do you think this lingerie looks good?" Faced with her question, Lu Lin calmly asked back.
"This...is indeed quite beautiful." Although Chiori was somewhat embarrassed to discuss this issue, she had to admit that the picture was beautiful.
That's a perfect display of feminine charm!
"Then, would you like to make one for yourself and give it a try?" Lu Lin whispered in her ear like a tempting demon.
Chapter 117 A Twist of Fate, Charlotte's Embarrassment! (Bonus Chapter for Recommended Votes)
Chiori was momentarily lost in thought.
Teyvat underwear is indeed nothing special; it's all very ordinary styles.
It seems everyone's creativity has been focused on stockings, leaving only the most basic requirement for underwear—comfort.
Lu Lin's drawings were like a wake-up call, drawing Qianzhi's attention to the unexplored field of underwear.
That rendering was so beautiful; it perfectly showcased the femininity and charm of women.
If I could wear lingerie like that, wouldn't my charm be enhanced even more?
Who among fashion designers doesn't pursue beauty?
Want to try it?
Lu Lin's devilish whispers still echoed in her ears, and as if possessed, she nodded.
"Then I'll try..."
The girl's eyes gradually hardened from shyness and confusion to determination.
She is Chiori, an unconventional and free-spirited woman who does whatever she wants!
Do not be bound by dogma, nor confined by outdated methods!
Now that she wants to make a set of lingerie like this, why can't she?
So she picked up a pen and paper and began to refine Lu Lin's design sketches; she picked up scissors and needle and thread and turned the drawings into reality...
Lu Lin looked at her, who was completely focused, smiled slightly, and quietly withdrew.
Lingerie features various openwork patterns and lace trim, so even though it only consists of a few pieces of fabric, the manufacturing process is more complex than that of a shirt.
After all, Chizuki is not produced by industrialized automation; she sews everything stitch by stitch.
It's estimated that Chiori will need quite a while, so Lu Lin plans to spend some time with Charlotte and strengthen their relationship.
When he returned to the study in the Qunyu Pavilion, the scene before him completely stunned him.
……
Rewind to a little over an hour earlier, when Lu Lin left Charlotte in the study and went to the tailor shop alone to find Qianzhi.
Although Charlotte was a journalist, she had a high level of personal integrity and never harbored any ill intentions, even when she was alone.
She was very polite as a guest. Even when she was reading, she didn't touch the books on the bookshelf. She simply sat down at the desk and picked up a miscellaneous book about the local customs and culture of Liyue.
Beneath the miscellaneous books, there was a booklet.
Charlotte recognized it immediately; it was a collection of picture albums.
After all, she enjoys photography herself and has similar collection albums at home, which contain various beautiful natural landscapes that she has recorded.
It's quite thoughtful that Liyue's miscellaneous books even come with picture albums.
Charlotte thought to herself.
She was holding a book that introduced the mountains, rivers, and customs of Liyue, with a collector's album underneath it.
The collection album must contain natural scenery recorded to accompany the books.
This is a very logical line of thinking.
So Charlotte opened the collection album without any psychological burden.
She just wanted to see just how beautiful the natural scenery of Liyue was as depicted in the illustrations.
It's really beautiful. How could the scenery of growing strawberries on a snow-capped mountain not be beautiful?
