Armor: I can only summon the general

Ever since Xinnan started participating in competitions, all of his dresses were made for him by Minci, but Minci would give the dress to him before every competition.

The competition has reached the final countdown, but Minci has not yet mentioned the dress to Xinnan. To be honest, Xinnan is still quite happy. After all, it is not good to trouble others every time.

So Xinnan planned to buy a dress on the last day, taking advantage of the last bit of time. On the one hand, it was to accompany Aunt Hui to relax, and on the other hand, it was also a way to put himself in a good mood in this relatively luxurious way.

But Xinnan's plan did not work out, because Minci had already made the dress several days in advance, but she forgot about it because she was busy with various things. When Xinnan mentioned it today, she remembered the dress that she had kept in the closet for a long time.

Minci and Aunt Hui both had smiles on their faces, but Xinnan looked a little embarrassed. She asked Minci to help make every dress, but she refused to take the money because a machine-made dress would be very expensive, not to mention a handmade one.

According to Xinnan's consumption concept, this kind of luxury is simply not something that people of their class can enjoy, but Minci actually let them indulge themselves.

This sense of gap did not make Xinnan happy. Instead, he always felt guilty towards Minci. At this time, he had to stand still and look at the perfect cook in front of him with an unnatural expression.

Minci, who was sitting opposite him, did not feel anything wrong. She believed from the bottom of her heart that this was what she should do. Rather than giving, Minci was more accustomed to using the word "repaying" to describe her behavior.

A fire ten years ago caused countless tragedies, the most heartbreaking of which were the two ill-fated relationships, first Bei Miao and Bing'er, and then Xin Nan and Min Ci.

The fear brought by the fire and the mutant beasts made Bei Miao panic, and the young boy abandoned his sister and ran away alone.

Later, when Bing'er and Xizhao were being taken away by King Kai, the young Minci was frightened by the mutant and ran to the middle of the road in panic.

At that time, Xinnan's family had just finished accompanying Xinnan to participate in a competition. His parents turned around to talk to little Xinnan in the back seat. When his father turned around to look at the road, he saw Minci in the middle of the road.

Xinnan's father subconsciously turned the steering wheel sharply. Although he avoided Minci, he hit a big tree on the side of the road. The car accident caused his father and mother in the driver's seat and the co-pilot seat to pass away.

When she grew up, Minci's parents went to other provinces to develop their careers and were doing very well, but Minci returned to City D without telling her parents and went to work in Aunt Hui's dumpling restaurant.

Is it true that a rich girl would work so hard just to earn a pitiful salary from a dumpling restaurant?

Of course not, her main purpose was to make it up to Xinnan in various ways and to witness the promise Xinnan made when he was a child.

For this reason, Minci spared no effort to support Xinnan, including cooking for him and making a suit for him for the competition.

This can be regarded as another way to participate in Xinnan's competition, which will make Minci feel better.

"Aunt Hui, Xinnan, please don't look at me like that. Fashion design is actually one of my hobbies, but I'm not a famous designer. I can't afford models, and no models are willing to let me use them.

It just so happened that Xinnan needed a dress, but the dresses sold outside were not made well enough and were very expensive, so I bought some fabric and made it myself since I had a lot of free time anyway.

This way I can save a lot of money and practice my craft more. At the same time, I can also test my skills on Xinnan. Isn't this great?"

Minci's smile and words deeply moved Xinnan. He knew that Minci said that just to reassure him. He also felt that he could not let Minci down, so he sincerely said thank you to her.

After a while, Minci cleaned up the kitchen and asked Xinnan to take her home and bring her the dress she had made.

In the dumpling restaurant, Aunt Hui and Minci were waiting on the first floor with expectant looks on their faces. Xinnan had already gone to the second floor to change clothes. At this time, a young man suddenly walked in from the door.

Aunt Hui subconsciously stood up to greet him. When she turned around and saw that the person coming was Xizhao, she immediately pulled him to sit at the table.

"Xi Zhao, I haven't been here for a long time. Why do you look so bad? Have you been staying up late recently?"

"You really have a keen eye. There has indeed been something going on recently."

Xizhao replied to Aunt Hui with a smile. Although the temperature outside had dropped, Aunt Hui's family-like care made him feel very warm.

He looked around the piano, but didn't see Xinnan, so he asked:

"Why don't I see Xinnan today? He's going to have a match tomorrow, so I just happened to come over to see him. Is it because I came at the wrong time?"

Minci immediately explained with a smile: "I made a dress for Xinnan to wear for the competition. He is changing clothes on the second floor."

When this matter was mentioned, Aunt Hui smiled even more happily and quickly praised Minci to Xizhao.

"Xi Zhao, you don't know that our Minci is very clever and skillful. She made all the dresses that Xinnan wore for the past few competitions by herself. Thank you for her hard work."

Minci felt a little embarrassed by what Aunt Hui said and kept saying humble words.

After hearing Aunt Hui's words, Xizhao's eyes changed when he looked at Minci.

"I really didn't expect that you have this skill, Minci. It's amazing. I admire you a lot."

"No way, you are all exaggerating."

As Minci was speaking, footsteps were heard on the stairs. Xinnan walked down slowly wearing a dress made by Minci herself. His gentle and refined appearance made the three people's eyes light up.

"Aunt Hui, Minci, what do you think of my outfit?"

Xinnan lowered his head and looked at his cuffs, then raised his head and saw Xizhao on the other side of the table.

"Why are you here? Aren't you busy today?"

"Haha, tomorrow is the day of your competition. I took the time out of my schedule to come and see you. The others really can't leave, so I can only bring everyone's regards."

Xi Zhao spoke in a gentle tone, then took out a small square box from his pocket. When the box was opened, an exquisitely crafted and extremely luxurious pocket watch appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as Minci saw the pocket watch, she realized that it was worth a lot of money. This could be seen from the craftsmanship on the case alone, and the high-quality materials used in the entire watch. An expensive number immediately flashed through her mind.

Although Aunt Hui couldn't see such profound things, as soon as she saw this shiny gold watch, she classified it as the same level as Rolex.

Xinnan never cared about these luxury items. He had even only seen them in foreign movies. But when an exquisite pocket watch was placed in front of him, his eyes were still firmly attracted to it.

This pocket watch was not bought by Xizhao, but inherited from the warehouse where the previous owner hid his money after he took over the Nightingale Nightclub.

The items in the warehouse were not clearly marked with prices, and Xizhao did not take them to a specialized agency for appraisal, but thinking that the other party could put this watch next to gold, its value must be equal to or even higher than gold.
