Chapter 229 Complaint
One afternoon in May, Apartment 1202, Longshan.
"Hmm~"
"Ha~~~"
"Hmm~~~~"
"."
"Ah~, Kim Taeyeon, please don't make such disgusting noises, okay?"
Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon who was doing weighted squats under the guidance of Huang Xu not far in front of her, and said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
Kim Taeyeon just glanced at the other person out of the corner of her eye, and then continued her training. After completing this set of training, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Sunny who was watching the show next to her:
"You think the sound you make when you exercise is better?"
"Then I'm not as obvious as you, nor as loud as you."
Sunny immediately refuted Kim Taeyeon's words.
It was exactly as she said, when they were exercising, both of them would make sounds to assist the force when exerting force.
Although Sunny also makes a sound when she exerts force, it is still much smaller than Kim Taeyeon's sound.
But Kim Taeyeon's fighting power has obviously improved qualitatively. After hearing what Sunny said, she directly fought back.
"Just tell me whether you made any noise or not."
"Ah~, Kim Taeyeon you."
Huang Xu looked at the two people who were bickering, and the helpless expression on his face became more obvious. After all, this was the tenth day that he had been drafted into service as their fitness coach.
Ever since Huang Xu explained to Kim Taeyeon some precautions for exercise at the end of last month, she seemed to be dependent on him and would come here to train whenever she had time.
Of course, if it was just training, Huang Xu would not object, but would be very welcome.
But there is no problem. When she is training, she needs my assistance.
Now she has listened to Huang Xu's advice and started a fitness plan with aerobic exercise as an aid and anaerobic strength training as the main focus.
When doing anaerobic strength training, she does need the assistance of professional fitness personnel, otherwise she is likely to fail to exert force or suddenly suffer cramps, which may lead to danger.
According to Huang Xu's incomplete statistics, it has only been ten days and he has rescued her five or six times, basically because of excessive physical exertion, non-standard movements, or sudden exhaustion.
Therefore, although Huang Xu was somewhat reluctant, he still had to watch her while she was doing strength training.
This process made Huang Xu feel uncomfortable, or even tormented.
If the person he was counseling was not Kim Taeyeon, but someone else, then Huang Xu would naturally not have such emotions.
Whether the person he is coaching is Sunny, Goo Hara, or even Park Hyomin, whom he often saw in the gym some time ago, Huang Xu would enjoy it very much.
After all, a young, beautiful and hot girl group idol wearing tight sportswear and doing various exercises in front of you is both pleasing to the eyes and eye-catching.
But it is such a coincidence that Huang Xu is now coaching Kim Taeyeon, Sunny's teammate and sister. This makes Huang Xu feel very uncomfortable.
Although Kim Taeyeon's figure is not very good compared to the others, and can even be said to be a little skinny, but she is very fair.
Especially today, she didn't know what was going on, but she actually wore a tight sports bra and sports shorts.
During training, she showed her body clearly to Huang Xu.
This allowed Huang Xu to be beside her, watching her fair skin swaying up and down in front of him, and even when some assistance was needed, he could feel it himself. The process was very erotic.
But with Sunny watching him, Huang Xu found it a little hard to accept.
Therefore, when the two were bickering, Huang Xu did not dare to stand up straight, but just bent over and said to them:
"After you have rested, you must stretch. I will go to the side to cook for you."
Then, without waiting for the two to react, Huang Xu quickly left Apartment 1202.
After Huang Xu left, the two who were still fighting stopped, and then Sunny raised her eyebrows at Kim Taeyeon and said:
"Well, I told him he couldn't resist your style!"
"Of course, I'm Taeyeon!"
After hearing what Sunny said, Kim Taeyeon straightened her chest and proudly affirmed what Sunny said.
But then he remembered his body's reaction when Huang Xu was assisting him just now.
At the same time, the scene of myself eavesdropping last time emerged in my mind, and I remembered the intense "exercise" between Huang Xu and Sunny at that time.
Kim Taeyeon, whose face was even more rosy than after the exercise, complained to Sunny in confusion:
"Why do you insist on me wearing this?"
"If you hadn't insisted on me wearing this, would he have such a big reaction? This is all your fault!"
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. Hey~hey, then why don't you wear it anyway?"
Looking at Kim Taeyeon who was complaining about her, Sunny still had a smile on her face and spoke to her with a hint of teasing in her eyes.
"Can I force you to wear it if you don't agree?"
"I"
"And if you wear it like this, when Huang Xu finds out, will he be able to see your force more clearly and correct your mistakes?"
“That’s not necessary.”
"Okay, stop talking, get up and stretch. If your body gets cold, the effect won't be as good."
Seeing that Kim Taeyeon was still struggling with this matter, Sunny directly started to change the subject, causing her to hold back on what she was going to say next.
Then he looked at Kim Taeyeon who obediently started stretching, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.
Not to mention Sunny and Kim Taeyeon who were stretching, Huang Xu, who had just returned to 1201, still hadn't relaxed. Instead, he was looking at Jessica Jung who was busy working on the drawing board and computer in the corner of the living room.
The helplessness that had just been put away on his face reappeared on his face.
If Kim Taeyeon only went crazy today and made himself feel uncomfortable by wearing such sexy clothes, then Jessica Jung made Huang Xu feel a bit of a headache.
Starting from more than ten days ago, she would harass Huang Xu from time to time, and even call Huang Xu in the early morning, completely regardless of whether Huang Xu was free or not, or whether he was being intimate with Sunny or something.
Even after Huang Xu blocked her phone number, she directly moved the things she needed for her designs to their apartment.
This made Huang Xu regret the agreement he made with her at that time.
If he could do it all over again, Huang Xu would definitely not fulfill her dream of becoming a designer, and he would definitely not care about her affairs anymore.
Let her fend for herself.
As for why Huang Xu is so regretful and so annoyed with Jessica Jung, we have to mention what she has done in the past few days.
Since she moved all the things she needed for design here, she seemed to have taken root here. Except for sleeping and working, she spends the rest of her time here.
Even when Huang Xu and Sunny were not at home, she would not leave, but stayed there patiently, working on her own designs.
Of course, if she just concentrates on design, then it’s okay, at most we can just pretend she doesn’t exist.
She is not the kind of person who would quietly and honestly design. After making a design, she would consult Huang Xu and ask him to comment on it.
This was a little hard for Huang Xu to accept.
Therefore, after seeing her, Huang Xu's footsteps involuntarily slowed down a lot, not wanting to attract her attention.
Unfortunately, no matter how light his footsteps were, he was already discovered by Jessica Jung when he opened the door.
She stood up and took the computer and said to Huang Xu who had just come in:
"Huang Xu, how about you help me take a look at this design?"
"Wow, your design is awesome. It's really beautiful. OK, that's all for the review."
"Don't make a fuss. Be serious when you evaluate."
Zheng Xiuyan listened to Huang Xu's exaggerated performance without any change on her face. She continued to show her own clothes in front of Huang Xu and talked about her design ideas. "This is my design direction, which is to express my feelings towards..."
"How do you feel?"
"The problem is that I don't understand design. How can you ask me to evaluate it? I just think it looks good."
Listening to Jessica Jung's long speech, Huang Xu could only listen helplessly, and then after she finished speaking, he said a complaint.
Zheng Xiuyan ignored Huang Xu's complaints and said to him directly:
"Hurry up and give me some feedback on my design."
"I, I really don't understand?"
Looking at Jessica Jung's tough attitude, Huang Xu felt even more regretful. Why did he agree to help her realize her wish a few days ago?
Also, why did you criticize her design and belittle it because you were in a bad mood?
Although I don't think much of her designs at that time, they are still pretty good compared to current fashion styles.
If I had not commented a little at that time, the current situation would not have happened.
But it was too late to say this now. He could only helplessly look at the rendered image on the computer in front of him.
To be honest, Jessica Jung’s designs are actually pretty good. After all, her private clothes are a role model for many Korean idols.
It can even be said that her dressing style is very fashionable in the eyes of Huang Xu, a reborn person.
But when he looked at Jessica Jung's colorful clothes rendered on the screen, he couldn't help but frown.
Although colorful and fashionable mix and match clothing styles are particularly popular in Seoul this year, and most of them are gorgeous and colorful, Huang Xu does not like this style very much.
On the contrary, Jessica Jung's daily outfits are more in line with Huang Xu's preferences.
And Jessica Jung seemed to have missed the point at this time. Their target customers this time were their fans, not fashion people or idols, so he turned to Jessica Jung and said:
"I remember I said that this design is for the fans, right? Are you sure they will like this style?"
“Is this the fashion trend this year?”
"I know this style is the current trend, but don't forget that our goal is to allow fans to wear it everyday, not to put it on the catwalk."
Huang Xu directly criticized Jessica Jung's explanation with just one sentence.
There are two extremes in dressing style in Korea.
On one hand, there are celebrities who wear fancy clothes to show off their sense of fashion, while on the other hand, there are ordinary people whose daily outfits are mostly low-key and extremely practical colors such as black, white and gray.
And it's not just South Korea, many countries have the same style, it's just that the public's acceptance is slightly different.
After hearing what Huang Xu said, Zheng Xiuyan frowned and looked at Huang Xu with some dissatisfaction.
"If they were all like that, how could my design be reflected?"
“Design is not about being conspicuous, the more trendy the better. Simple design can also better reflect the designer’s skills.”
Seeing that Jessica Jung still didn't understand, Huang Xu started searching on the computer, and then found some "old money style" outfit pictures and showed them to Jessica Jung.
"Do you think their outfits have no sense of design?"
"I"
Looking at the pictures shown by Huang Xu, Jessica Jung was speechless.
As someone who aspires to become a designer, she actually has some understanding of the pictures that Huang Xu found. These pictures are basically from clothing of the American brand Ralph Lauren.
The brand is positioned as low-key and luxurious. Apart from a less obvious logo, there is almost no brand identity.
Some clothes even have their logos hidden.
And the colors of the clothes are all low-saturation, and the primary purpose is to make them comfortable to wear.
They may seem inconspicuous at first glance, but only after careful observation can you feel their charm.
But even after seeing all this, she still felt a little unconvinced.
"These clothes have a sense of design, but they are basically supported by the materials of the clothes and the temperament of the models."
"If we follow their style, how should we calculate the price and positioning of the product?"
"I know, so I asked you to just learn from it, not to copy it all."
Seeing that Jessica Jung was still a little unconvinced, Huang Xu began to explain.
"What I mean is that I want you to pay attention to the style of the clothes, focus on comfort, and then pick some simple colors and design some clothes that are suitable for daily wear."
"."
"Minimalist style?"
"Yes, yes, it's minimalist style."
Huang Xu didn't expect that Zheng Xiuyan actually grasped the key points after hearing his story, so he quickly nodded to indicate that it was correct.
Although she received Huang Xu's affirmation, Zheng Xiuyan's brows were still not relaxed, and she still looked at Huang Xu with some confusion.
"I know about minimalism, but if that's the case, where do we put our Girls' Generation elements?"
"Minimalism doesn't mean no decoration at all. Simple decoration is still fine."
"For example, your fans are called SONE. You put this symbol and logo directly on the clothes. Does this count as an element of yours?"
"Besides this, you can also print your own unique logos and any patterns you like on it."
"Just remember one premise, that is, these logos should not be too conspicuous, and they should be as simple as possible so that fans can wear these clothes in their daily lives."
"Is this really okay?"
After hearing what Huang Xu said, Zheng Xiuyan's face became even more confused.
She really didn't understand whether Huang Xu's approach would work. After all, the main target customers of these clothes were his fans.
If these clothes are designed as Huang Xu said, with the logos so obscure, will any fans buy it?
Huang Xu looked at Zheng Xiuyan who was still hesitating and comforted her directly:
"Don't worry, it's okay. Besides, the clothes this time are just some T-shirts. Even if no one buys them, it's okay."
"How could no one buy it? We are Girls' Generation after all."
"Okay, okay, you are Girls' Generation, Girls' Generation is so cool!"
"That's pretty much it."
“Then you continue designing.”
Seeing that he had fooled Jessica Jung, Huang Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly left her side, and returned to the kitchen to see how his soup was going.
And in addition to this, he also needs to prepare dinner for several people.
By the time he finished preparing dinner, Sunny and Kim Taeyeon, who had just finished exercising, had also washed up and returned here.
Seeing that Huang Xu had already prepared dinner, he immediately came forward to help.
At the same time, he kept praising and thanking Huang Xu.
Finally, Huang Xu looked at Sunny and Kim Taeyeon who were wolfing down their food, and Jessica Jung who looked very dignified but whose hand speed was not slow at all. Huang Xu suddenly felt like a mother. He was like their nanny, responsible for the meals of the three of them.
So he complained to the two of them.
"you two"
