Chapter 477: Fitting
Victory had her palms pressed against her chest, her chest rising and falling as she took deep breaths.
"Leon, what did you say?" Victory asked, "Tell me again, where did the admiral go?"
Do you want to be a coward for the rest of your life, or do you want to be a hero! Even if it's only for a few minutes. Victory didn't want to back down, she thought of Zuikaku, she didn't want to be Zuikaku, one Zuikaku was enough.
"Gone, Richelieu has taken him away." Leon seemed not to notice the rising and falling chest of the Victory. Dark clouds were pressing down on the city, and a storm was brewing. "Any questions?"
Victory opened his mouth and said, "Yes, is there any problem?"
"Do you have an appointment with the admiral?" Leon asked.
"No." The Victory replied, and it was as if a strong wind suddenly blew away the dark clouds and the sky cleared up again.
“That’s it.” Leon put the bags on the counter, “Chenghui, a total of…”
"How much did you just say?" Victory asked again. Because he heard it clearly, he felt that he didn't hear it clearly.
Leon quoted the price again and explained: “You have to know that our things here are more expensive… and you asked for several sets of clothes, and jewelry… The hairdressing fee is not charged to you, but we also ordered these clothes from outside, especially those jewelry. You know the price of diamonds, the price is not cheap.”
Shengli looked at the large and small bags on the counter and the clothes she was wearing in the mirror. She was a wealthy old woman, but the landlord's family had no surplus food, so she asked if it was okay to return the money at this time. She was silent for a long time and said, "Fifty percent off."
Leon glanced at Victory, which made Victory feel guilty: "If you don't want it, then don't have it. It doesn't matter."
"Twenty percent off is fine," said Victory.
"You think our store is one of those small shops on the street."
"Ninety percent off." Victory shouted.
"I'm sorry... I understand that the Victory has never been on a battleship. If it doesn't go on a battle, there will be no bonuses. If you get a fixed salary, you won't have any money..." Leon consoled him, "In fact, I'm the same. I can't bear to buy the clothes and jewelry I sell. They're really a bit expensive... It's okay, don't be stubborn."
"Okay, okay..." Victory wanted to save face.
Victory no longer cared about where the admiral had gone. No matter how expensive those clothes and pants were, they were nothing. Those jewelry really made people feel a little stressed... Actually, they were nothing. They were far from being unaffordable. They were even stressful. It was just that I couldn't spend that much money in a whole year. I felt a little heartbroken at this moment.
Lyon smiled, it was a rare big order.
But Su Xia was dragged into a hair salon by Richelieu.
"Admiral, don't you think your hair is a little long?" Richelieu said.
Su Xia looked at herself in the bright mirror, touched her hair, and said, "I feel okay."
Su Xia thought about it, tilted her head, pulled her hair and said, "It does seem to be a bit long."
"Does the Admiral trust Richelieu?" Richelieu asked.
"Of course... I always believe in Richelieu." Su Xia sat on the hairdressing chair, "Then I'll trouble Richelieu... Thin it out and cut it short."
"Does the Admiral like thinning and short haircuts so much?" Richelieu glanced at Su Xia who was sitting in the hairdressing chair.
"It's not that I like it, it's just too much trouble." Su Xia said, "I've thought about changing my hairstyle, and I specifically looked up what hairstyle suits what face shape. In the end, after a long time, I still don't know what my face is, long face, oval face or square face, but I'm sure it's not round face."
Richelieu put his hand on Su Xia's face and turned his head towards her. His hand was unwilling to leave. He said, "The Admiral's face should belong to... Anyway, Admiral, leave it to me. I promise to give you a handsome hairstyle."
"Um."
Su Xia sat quietly in the hairdressing chair so that Richelieu could trim his hair.
That was ten minutes later, Leon came over.
Although you can't turn your head while your hair is being trimmed, you can use the mirror to see what's going on inside the hair salon. There's only one Leon, and the Victory is nowhere to be seen. Su Xia asked curiously, "Where's the Victory?"
"Back." Lyon replied.
"Oh." Su Xia didn't think much about it. After thinking for a while, she said, "Really, changing her hairstyle and clothes seems to be a different person. An old lady becomes a young lady."
"Is the Admiral obsessed with the Victory?" Leon asked.
"I'm obsessed with Leon." Su Xia smiled. He remembered the illustration of Leon in the game with a completely shattered outfit, short hair, a plump upper body with a wet shirt, and a pair of long legs. He was really lovable.
"In that case, Admiral, stay overnight in Lyon..." Lyon noticed that Richelieu was looking at her with squinted eyes, as if she was being reckless, so she laughed dryly, "She is always dressed like that... You can't say that, Nelson looks just as handsome in her outfit... Anyway, there is no ugly ship girl."
In history, the captain of the Victory was Nelson, the origin of the name of the Nelson battleship, which means that Nelson and the Victory have a lot of ties. That's why Nelson has a set of clothes that are the same as the Victory.
"It's better to say that there are no ugly girls." Lyon sat on the hairdressing chair next to Su Xia, leaning on the armrest to watch Richelieu cut his hair. The fine hair fell on the white cloth. He thought about his previous plan to buy a dragon robe cloth, but it ended up in vain. "There are no ugly women, only lazy women."
"hehe."
"What are you laughing at, Admiral?" Leon said, "Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Leon stretched out his hand, put his fingers away one by one, and said: “If you are fat, you can lose weight and exercise. If you have scars on your face, you can use concealer and makeup. Finally, choose a suitable hairstyle... I dare not say that I am a great beauty, but at least I am definitely not ugly, so what did I say wrong?”
"The same is true for men," said Lyon. "Fat people can lose weight and exercise... Even if society has prejudices against men wearing makeup, it's okay to trim their eyebrows... A clean face, clean and decent clothes, and a suitable hairstyle, even if it doesn't add points, at least it won't detract from it."
Su Xia hesitated and sighed, "That's all we can do."
"Why are you sighing, Admiral?" Leon said, "You look good."
"It's just ordinary." Su Xia said.
"No, it's very handsome." Richelieu suddenly interrupted, "I've done the cut, Admiral, take a look at the result."
Su Xia looked in the mirror, and saw a brand new herself. She tilted her head and looked left and right. Her hairstyle had not changed much compared to before. Her bangs had not changed much, just a little grooming and a lot of hair on her temples. But the overall effect was much better than before. Does changing a hairstyle really have such magical power?
"What does the Admiral think?" asked Richelieu.
"That's right." Su Xia said affirmatively, "But after taking a shower and having a good sleep, it will be back to normal."
"What are you thinking, Admiral?" Leon said, "Do you think a girl who wants to be beautiful doesn't need to take time out to put on makeup and take care of her hair every day?"
"I don't have any illusions that this will be a permanent solution." Su Xia said, "I just feel it's too troublesome."
"That's right, it's troublesome." Lyon laughed.
Su Xia shrugged.
"Well," said Richelieu, "let's go and pick out some clothes."
"What kind of clothes are you looking for?" Su Xia said, "Don't you sell women's clothing here?"
“You can wear women’s clothes.” Leon said with a smile, she crossed her arms, a cool queen.
"Never wear women's clothes." Su Xia said.
"Well, we have men's clothing," Richelieu said. "Since the admiral returned to the garrison... I asked about men's clothing when I was purchasing these few days. I bought a few sets and wanted to give them to the admiral directly, but I couldn't find a chance."
"Oh." Su Xia nodded and suddenly realized, "But how do you know what size clothes I wear?"
"Just take a look." Leon said, "You men can tell a girl's measurements by just taking a look, but can't we tell the admiral's figure by just taking a look?"
"Who is so good that he can tell someone's measurements just by looking at them...that's just bragging." Su Xia complained, thinking that there are too many routines in this world, some people look thin when they are dressed, and some look chubby when they are undressed, and no one knows how much capital a hunchbacked girl has, and no one knows what's under a loose school uniform, and there is also the saying "you will find it if you squeeze it", of course this is an exception for some people.
Having said that, Su Xia believes that for those professionals, they can confirm his physique just by looking at him.
Chatting, they left the hair salon and came to the luxury goods store.
Leon left for a while and came back with clothes, which were still unopened. There was really a pile of them on the counter.
"Admiral, undress," said Richelieu.
"What do you mean by taking off clothes?" Su Xia asked.
"I was just visually estimating it before, so I might not be that prepared. Now I have a chance to measure it, so I can help the admiral buy and sew clothes in the future." Richelieu said, "There is no need to be shy, admiral."
"I'm not shy. What do I have to be shy about? Richelieu and Lyon are both my wedding ships, aren't they?" Su Xia said. Sure enough, she was still a little shy, but only for a moment. She slowly undressed, revealing her upper body. She had no abdominal muscles and no belly.
"And pants," Leon said.
"Do I have to take off my pants too?" Su Xia was surprised.
"Of course." Leon put her hand on Su Xia's chest. She noticed Richelieu looking at her from the corner of her eye. "I'll get the tape measure."
Su Xia looked at Richelieu and said, "You don't need to take off your pants."
"Yes," said Richelieu, "you will have to take them off when you change clothes."
"All right……"
Leon brought out a tape measure, and Richelieu used it to help him measure - shoulder width is the distance between the two end points of the shoulder blades, chest circumference is the length around the chest, waist circumference is around the belly, arm length is from the shoulder to the wrist, upper body length is from the neck to the highest point of the buttocks... then the hip circumference, thigh circumference, lower body length... the length of the feet also needs to be measured.
After a lot of trouble, the measurements were finally completed. Just when Su Xia wanted to take a break, she saw Leon pick up a set of clothes and said, "Admiral, try this set."
Su Xia took the clothes and subconsciously walked towards the fitting room.
"Where are you going, Admiral?" Leon said, "Just change your clothes here."
Su Xia looked around and finally stood there putting on her clothes.
As Susha changed his clothes, Richelieu looked at him.
"The admiral has warm skin, so we try to choose warm-toned clothes for him... The admiral definitely doesn't understand, there are warmer yellows and cooler yellows, and there are warmer reds and cooler reds. But there is no absolute color matching, it depends on the overall color matching."
"Normal body, perfect body, tall and thin body... The Admiral's body is normal. For a normal body, most of the time, you just need to pay attention to the fit of the clothes. There are not many taboos. The hem should not be too long, and the sleeves and trouser legs should be less piled up."
Leon interrupted, "If you exercise properly, it's easy to get broad shoulders and a full chest... But the admiral obviously doesn't have time to exercise... I heard that the admiral got a gym membership, but he went there once and never went again."
"I don't want to either." Su Xia smiled awkwardly.
"I know what the admiral doesn't want to do, and I can totally understand." Leon smiled strangely.
Su Xia put on his clothes, and Richelieu helped him tidy up his clothes, pulling his collar, tucking the hem of his clothes into his pants and pulling it up a little.
Leon handed him a pair of sunglasses and put them on his head. He then took a scarf to help him wrap it around his neck, untied it, and found a tie.
"What does Richelieu think?" Leon asked.
"Don't wear a tie , wear a scarf instead, a long scarf hung around your neck," Richelieu instructed.
After some more trouble, I changed the accessories here and there, and finally I just kept a pair of sunglasses and a watch on my wrist.
"Almost. Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?" Su Xia asked. He felt that his image was much better than before. Even if he was not a handsome guy, clothes could make the man look better and his body could not complement the clothes. He was still handsome enough.
"Not enough, not enough." Leon shook his head.
"I don't think the Victory can be solved by just giving it a try," said Su Xia.
"You also know it's the Victory." Lyon made no secret of the fact that the Victory was just a customer. When he was in a good mood, he would help him match it well. When he was in a bad mood, he would just match it roughly. But the admiral was different.
"This is it. I need to alter the dress again and make the shoulders smaller." Richelieu looked at it for a long time before speaking, "Change to another one."
After going through so much trouble over and over again, Su Xia had already become numb.
Su Xia didn't know how much time had passed before Richelieu and Leon finally stopped torturing him, yes, torturing him.
"Well," said Richelieu, "see how it goes, Admiral."
Su Xia came back to her senses and looked at herself in the fitting mirror. She didn't know when she had changed into a uniform. She was surprised and said, "Why is it an admiral's uniform... but something seems wrong."
"This is the admiral's uniform that we modified," Richelieu said. "How does it look?"
Su Xia nodded subconsciously, and the straight uniform made people stand up straight involuntarily.
"Admiral, turn around," said Richelieu.
Su Xia turned around and stood facing Richelieu.
Richelieu stared at Su Xia. The admiral's hat seemed a little crooked, so he reached out and tugged at it. He took two steps back and continued to look.
"So handsome. An admiral should wear an admiral uniform."
"You are worthy of being my admiral, my darling."
"Tonight is mine."
