For ordinary people, this is just a nice-looking outfit; perhaps the girl wearing it is more attractive.
But for a master tailor like Chiori, the shock this dress brought her was so great that it completely overturned her common sense.
After a long while, she looked up at Qi Liangliang and asked in an urgent and passionate tone, "Qi Liangliang, is the girl in this picture a friend of yours?"
Qi Liangliang nodded and said, "Yes, her name is Xia Le. She is a new friend I met in Mondstadt a few days ago."
Chiori pressed further, "Do you know where she bought the dress she's wearing?"
Qi Liangliang shook her head: "Clothes... I don't know about that."
A deep look of disappointment flashed in Chiori's eyes: "You don't know...?"
"Is Chiori-nee interested in Xia Le's clothes?"
"Yes, this outfit must have been made by someone incredibly talented. Qi Liangliang, next time you go to Mondstadt, please remember to ask your friend for me..."
"Oh, no need for that. I'll just ask for you, Chiori-nee."
"Now?"
"Hmm, I'll give Xia Le a call. She should be up by now."
Kira took the phone back from Chiori and dialed the number.
Chiori stood to the side, staring blankly.
"Hello, is this Xia Le?"
Good morning, Qi Liangliang.
"Good morning. Well, a friend of mine wants to know where you bought that dress you're wearing."
Which piece of clothing?
"It's the one in your profile picture."
"Oh, that one? It was a gift from my older brother."
"Mr. Xia, I understand, thank you."
"You're welcome. Remember to take lots of photos in Fontainebleau and send them to us."
"Do not worry."
Qi Liangliang put down her phone and said, "Sister Qianzhi, I found out! That dress was made by Mr. Xia."
"Mr. Xia?"
"He's also a friend I know!"
Chiori snapped out of her daze: "Wait... what were you just doing...?"
"Call Xia Le!"
"So, you just got in touch with someone in Mondstadt?"
"Yes!"
"How did you do it?"
"It's just using a mobile phone."
"..."
"I don't know the specifics, but Mr. Xia also made this phone. He's also an excellent cook..."
Qi Liangliang's eyes lit up at the mention of Mr. Xia, and she unconsciously began to swallow.
Chiori paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Then... Kira, are you able to contact that Mr. Xia now?"
"May I call Mr. Xia? Does Sister Chiori want to speak with Mr. Xia?"
"Ugh! Trouble!"
"Ok."
--
The phone on the bedside table rang.
Shen He reached out, took the phone, and glanced at the screen.
"Boss, Qi Liangliang called you."
"it is good."
Xia Zhi took the phone and pressed the call button.
Good morning, Qi Liangliang.
"Mr. Xia! Did I disturb your sleep?"
"No, I just woke up a little while ago."
"That's good."
"Is there a problem?"
"Well, I have a friend who wants to talk to you about something related to clothing."
"clothing?"
"It's the dress you gave Xia Le. She seems to think it's really cool. Wait a minute, I'll take her on the phone... Sister Qianzhi, here you go."
A moment later, an unfamiliar female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, are you Mr. Xia?"
"It's me, you?"
"I am the owner of Chiori-ya. You can just call me Chiori."
"Miss Chiori, who are you looking for?"
"I saw a photo of Ms. Xia Le on Qi Liangliang's phone, and I found that the dress she was wearing had no seams at all. That's incredible! How did you do that?"
Xia Zhi recalled that the clothes were custom-made in the system, and clothes made this way would not have any seams.
Of course, he couldn't explain it to Chiori; he had to come up with a reasonable excuse.
For example, the [Stitching Needle] in the inventory.
Effect: Automatically becomes a master tailor. When using this item for tailoring, clothing can be sewn without thread and without leaving any seams.
“I used special sewing tools.”
"Special... sewing tools?"
"Well, it's hard to explain over the phone. If Miss Chiori is interested, we can talk again when we come to Fontaine for tourism."
"When will Mr. Xia arrive in Fontaine?"
"By the end of this year or next year."
"That's still a long way off..."
"After all, we're going to Inazuma and Sumi to participate in the summer festival and the Flower Festival next."
"Oh, I see... I'd also like to discuss the design style of that outfit with Mr. Xia. Would that be convenient?"
"of course."
Thanks to the effect of the [Needle of Stitching], Xia Zhi is now also a master tailor. She has her own ideas on how to make clothes well, and it's quite interesting to discuss new areas with others.
Although the other party wasn't very familiar with her, they were still Qi Liangliang's friend. Since they had called, she felt she should help out, considering how hard Maomao worked delivering the package.
"That's wonderful... Mr. Xia thinks..."
Chiori's tone on the phone was very respectful. If Fontaine's colleagues heard this, they would probably be very surprised that this proud stranger would actually humble herself to ask for advice.
After listening to Qianzhi's question, Xia Zhi pondered for a moment and then seriously discussed it with Qianzhi.
Shen He and Gan Yu sat on the bed beside him, watching him quietly.
At one point, Shen He suddenly slid down.
Xia Zhi's body tensed slightly, and his voice on the phone paused: "Hiss..."
Chiori noticed something amiss and asked, "Mr. Xia, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Where were we? Let's continue..."
"okay……"
--
Ten minutes later.
Chiori reluctantly hung up the phone and returned it to Kiryo.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, Chiori-nee. How did your conversation with Mr. Natsu go?"
"I learned a lot. That Mr. Xia is amazing. It's a pity I couldn't bother him for too long. I still have a lot of questions I haven't been able to ask... By the way, Qi Liangliang, I heard Mr. Xia say that he's going to Inazuma to attend the summer festival next?"
"Yes, Mr. Xia will go to Inazuma after the Mondstadt Flower Festival is over."
