Chapter 479: Wonderful Thoughts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Chen’s worry was not unfounded, but it was unnecessary for Xia Wan.

“Denmark is not a foreign language country. They need to use a foreign language when communicating with you, ” Xia Wan said, half-jokingly trying to persuade her.

“Moreover, although your oral English may not be the best, it’s still among the top in our grade.

“Don’t tell me you think it’s better to let those far inferior to you take the lead?”

Hearing Xia Wan’s words, the tension that had been weighing on Xia Chen’s heart eased considerably.

Xia Wan continued, “If you’re really worried, I can find someone to help you practice your spoken English. That way, you’ll be able to shine during the reception. What do you think?”

As she spoke, Xia Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, looking as if she were antic.i.p.ating a good show.

Xia Chen waved his hand repeatedly, “As long as it’s not embarra.s.sing!” “Don’t worry!” Xia Wan replied with a bright smile. “I’ll arrange everything!”

After Xia Chen left, Xia Wan immediately took out her phone and called Zhou En. “Sister Zhou En, I need your help!”

Zhou En arrived at the clothing store, greeted Xia Hai and Yan Han, and then headed to the storage room at the back.

Xia Wan was squatting in the storeroom, sorting through a new batch of accessories.

“Have you created a studio for yourself?” Zhou En asked in surprise as he looked at the wall of accessories and the shelves in front of him.

“I haven’t been here for a few days, and this place has changed so much!” he exclaimed, reaching out to touch the various items. His curiosity grew when he saw the unusual accessories.

“Find a place to sit first. We’ll talk after I’m done with this,” Xia Wan said, sticking shiny plastic shards onto a piece of flannel without turning her head.

“What are you making?” Zhou En leaned over curiously.

“A mosaic,” Xia Wan replied, still focused on her task, her hands moving deftly.

“This pattern is really beautiful!” Zhou En couldn’t help but praise. “But why are you doing this?”

“Just experimenting,” Xia Wan said as she placed the last piece of plastic on the flannel and finally looked up.

“How is it? Have you found a suitable candidate?” she asked, turning to Zhou En.

“Of course!” Zhou En leaned against the table, a playful expression on her face. “I’m still quite popular!” she said, sticking out her tongue playfully.

Xia Wan pursed her lips and chuckled, choosing not to burst her bubble.

“My brother just needs more opportunities to practice. He’s actually very capable!” Xia Wan didn’t hide her admiration for her family member.

“Yes, I can see that. He’s not bad at all!” Zhou En agreed, affirming Xia Wan’s opinion.

“When will this person arrive?” Xia Wan asked, a hint of eagerness in her voice.

“Within two days,” Zhou En replied, pursing her lips in thought. “She just arrived in the capital not long ago. It took me over an hour on the phone to convince her to come over and help!”

Xia Wan blinked and handed a small bag wrapped in velvet to Zhou En. “Here, this is for you!”

Zhou En opened the flannelette bag curiously and saw that the plastic fragments inside were very similar to the ones Xia Wan had used just now.

She took out a plastic shard and examined it closely. “How do I use this?”

Xia Wan took the flannelette from Zhou En’s hand and pointed to the lines drawn on it with a pen. “These lines divide it into sections. You just need to place the plastic fragments in your hand into these sections according to the pattern you like.

“It’s important to match the pieces with plastic fragments of the same or similar color,” she instructed.

“As for the rest, just follow your instincts.”

Zhou En looked at the fragments and the flannel in his hand with a hint of skepticism.

The lines on the flannel outlined a peony pattern, with different sections indicating the petals’ layers and the leaves’ structure.

The plastic shard in her hand was softer and thinner than she had expected, more like a thick piece of paper, but with a unique l.u.s.ter.

Zhou En’s interest was piqued, and she cleared a spot on the table to start a.s.sembling the pieces.

To her surprise, she quickly put together more than half of the peony pattern. Not only was the flower’s structure clear, but the colors were also beautifully matched.

“This is so much fun! How did you come up with it?” Zhou En asked, looking at Xia Wan with amazement.

“My mom brought back a lot of sc.r.a.p fabric from the market a few days ago. It seemed too wasteful to just make rags out of it, so I decided to create some small toys,” Xia Wan explained.

Zhou En looked at her with newfound admiration..
