[Grave Raiders Notes bg] Lost Notes 2: Heavy Fate

The one chosen for Nan Xing was a suit of Western-style dresses that had just become popular in the early Republic of China, made of pearl white silk.

Cut for a close fit at the bodice, it's patterned with pearls at the neckline.The hem of the skirt hangs down naturally and smoothly, and it flows with the footsteps when walking, revealing the white embroidery on the inner layer slightly.

While waiting for Nan Xing to return to the fitting room to change into his own clothes, Zhang Qiling walked over to the men's dress area.

After passing through the dazzling array of western suits and cheongsams in the store, I saw Nan Xing picking them seriously in front of a row of men's suits.

In the direction he was facing, Nan Xing was just framed in the center of his field of vision, still wearing that pearly white dress.

White really suits her very well. Such a color that is easy to overwhelm the audience, wearing it on her body will not distract the focus of the line of sight. On the contrary, it will make her skin look like soft glazed white porcelain under the light.

Nan Xing found him after she picked out a men's dress.She took off the dress and walked up to him, "Brother, I think this suit is very suitable for you."

Zhang Qiling looked down.

Both the jacket, trousers and jacket are dark in color.It contrasted sharply with the soft white of her body.

He has never cared about clothes, and he came to buy them today because of his plan.

"Just this set."

"Huh? Don't you want to try it? I chose the size blindly."

"No need to try." Surprisingly, she chose the size accurately, with such familiarity, as if she had been with him day and night for many years.

"...If I choose to be small, then I will have to work hard for you to shrink your bones." Nan Xing said hesitantly.

"Let's go." Zhang Qiling didn't answer her, and took the clothes directly from her.

The proprietress enthusiastically helped them wrap the clothes. After Zhang Qiling took them, the two walked out together. When they passed by the women's uniform area, Nan Xing inadvertently caught a glimpse of a cheongsam.

Smooth silk texture, slim fit, from top to bottom is like the sky from light blue to milky white at dawn, with silver thread embellishing the effect of twinkling stars, and the color is not as complicated as other cheongsams. The color of the piece is very simple, only two elegant magnolias are hooked on the waist and skirt.

A set of ordinary clothes that completely pointed out her aesthetic point, but even if she bought it back, it would only be left in the cabinet to burn ashes, and she couldn't wear a cheongsam to the grave.

After a quick glance, he looked away again.

When he reached the door, Zhang Qiling suddenly stood still and handed the shopping bag to Nan Xing, "I still need to buy something, so don't follow me, there is a bookstore opposite, go there and wait for me."

Nan Xing took the shopping bag, "Okay, I'll wait for your little brother."

When she spoke, her eyelashes drooped slightly, making her look a little more supple and well-behaved than usual.

Zhang Qiling glanced at her, then turned and walked towards the department store not far away.

In Nan Xing's short memory, he has never had such a relaxing time of "shopping", let alone buying clothes for himself. This time he came to Changsha, he made up everything at once. Although it was for tomorrow night's investigation, this moment is absolutely It can be regarded as one of the "ten happiest moments" since she can remember.

The bookstore has two floors. After Nanxing entered, she went up to the relatively quiet second floor, found a corner to put down her shopping bags, and picked a book to read.

Zhang Qiling quickly bought some equipment that he needed to supplement. With such a sudden change in the central archives, it is very likely that Hei Feizi has already arrived in Changsha before them, and he needs to make early preparations.

On the way back to the bookstore, his eyes glanced over something, and he caught a glimpse of the clothing store in the corner just now.

After taking two steps forward, he stopped again.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Qiling finally took a step back and walked towards the clothing store.

When Zhang Qiling returned to the bookstore, Nan Xing was standing in the middle of the book introducing human geography, holding a book in his hand, and was engrossed in reading it.

The light outside the window shone on her body, and her outline was soaked in the soft glow.

Zhang Qiling was about to go through the rows of bookshelves to find Nan Xing, when she looked up and found him, put down the book in her hand, and walked towards him.

At this time, he noticed that there were two more shopping bags in his hand, which should be the things he bought just now.

"Brother, where are we going next?"

"Go back to the residence." Zhang Qiling reached out to take the shopping bag in Nan Xing's hand, and walked towards the door of the bookstore.

After leaving the bookstore, the two walked to the hotel where they were staying.The hotels are called Dajixiang Hotel, Changshajia, etc. Now it is the off-season, there is no big banquet held by local tyrants and wealthy businessmen, no intensive exchanges of prostitutes and girls singing and playing piano, it is very quiet.

The two sat down in Nan Xing's room to confirm tomorrow's action plan.

"Brother, are we going to get the two free seats from Wan Zhai tomorrow?" Nan Xing found two clean glasses and took tea from the cupboard.

"This is the most suitable method." Zhang Qiling opened the curtains a little and looked at the situation outside the window.

Nan Xing brought the brewed tea to the tea table next to Zhang Qiling, and sat down on the chair on the other side: "I think so too, although it would be more concealed to pretend to be two people with invitation letters, but when we don't know each other well Under the circumstances, the risk of cheating is relatively high, and you have to steal the invitation letter or something, which is troublesome."

"There's no need to impersonate. Wanjia set up these two free places to find us. They will take advantage of this dance to confirm our identity."

"Looking for us? The Wan family knew we were coming? Could it be..." Nan Xing paused as he picked up his teacup, and after a long while slowly expressed his conjecture, "Something happened to the archives, the person in charge is most likely hiding in Wan Family, contact the Zhang family in this way?"

Zhang Qiling nodded, seemed to be thinking about something, but didn't speak.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Qiling picked up the glass in front of him, and said slowly: "Tomorrow you stay at the ball to meet Wan's family, to attract the attention of the people present, and I will check Wanzhai."

"Okay brother," Nan Xing turned to Zhang Qiling, "Then shall we just wait for tomorrow's poster to go up?"

"Well, you go to bed early today." Zhang Qiling stood up, took the shopping bag containing his clothes, and walked towards the door.

"Wait, little brother," Nan Xing called him, picked up the shopping bag he went to buy alone and handed it to him, "You forgot to take this."

Zhang Qiling looked back at her, "This is yours."

"Ah?" Nan Xing looked confused, and when he realized that he was going to ask what was inside, Zhang Qiling had already opened the door and went out.

So mysterious, what could it contain?

Nan Xing opened the shopping bag with a puzzled face.

What appeared in front of her was the cheongsam that she had taken a fancy to at the clothing store today.
