"Practice the hallway walk every evening this week, even just ten minutes." Lin Yansu added, tucking her tablet under her arm again. "Small, consistencies beats one long session before the show."
Guiying exhaled, grateful for the small mercy of the rest, wiping the sweat from his collar as his legs finally stopped shaking.
"Before you go." Jiang Wenxi waved him over toward a rack of garments near the fitting area. "Let's handle wardrobe and measurements while everything's still fresh."
A tailor stepped forward with a measuring tape already looped around her neck, gesturing for Guiying to stand still on a small raised platform.
"Arms out, please." She worked quickly, calling out numbers to an assistant jotting them down on a clipboard. "Waist, twenty-eight. Chest, thirty-six. Inseam..." She continued down his frame, methodical, unbothered by his faint discomfort at being measured so thoroughly in front of others, still catching his breath from the walk.
