Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Light Makeup, Short Choppy Hair Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Light Makeup, Short Choppy Hair April 29, 2023, Saturday, sunny, 12~23°C.
At 6 a.m., Tang Song slowly opened his eyes,
imdiately after that, a strong sense of temporal dislocation enveloped him, both vague and clear, both relieved and wistful.
He sat up with a smile on his face.
With the sound of a pleasant ssage notification, Tang Song quickly pulled away from the deep dream.
Looking around, everything beca real and vivid.
Simulation copies were truly magical, while inside, there was a sense of urgency and empathy as if you were really there, but once back in the real world, emotions could be instantly cast aside.
It was like having a real dream.
Of course, the gains were also very substantial.
Perhaps because it was the first ti he initiated a copy, not only was the difficulty extrely low, but the given rewards were also particularly high.
First of all, there was an increase of 1 point in the most difficult to improve basic attribute “Comprehension”.
In addition, there were Basic Japanese and guitar playing.
The Basic Japanese rewarded by the simulation copy was about N4 level in the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).
Only the basics of Japanese pronunciation, basic vocabulary, and simple grammar were mastered, with the ability to conduct simple everyday conversation and reading, far from the standard in the dream.
The skill for guitar playing was completely retained with the level from the copy, definitely performance-grade.
Tang Song took a mont to reflect seriously, and in his mind, there were even experiences and feelings of hard practice and performing from the dream, as if he had personally lived through them.
His skills were not vaporous forcibly infused things but precious fruits cultivated from talent, passion, and sweat.
His slender and fair fingers moved in the air, simulating plucking the strings, and the clear sound of the guitar seed to resonate in his mind simultaneously.
With his “Attractive Man’s Hand”, the flexibility, precision, strength, and endurance of his fingers were even more powerful than the character in the dream.
For a mont, Tang Song felt an irresistible itch in his heart.
He definitely had to buy a suitable guitar later!
…
After taking a shower, he stood naked in front of the mirror to take a look.
His stomach had completely flattened out, and by tensing up slightly, so muscle lines were visible.
The fat on his arms and thighs had also thinned out a lot.
It seed like his entire body had beco younger.
After carefully completing his skincare routine, he got dressed.
Driving to the barbershop he had visited before, Tang Song found the familiar barber, Tony.
He directly opened the photo Minmin had sent and handed it to Tony, “I’d like to try this short-textured haircut, not too bare on the sides, 6~7 centiters on top, with so fluffy and spiky texture.”
Tony examined the photo carefully and nodded, “No problem, this hairstyle really suits you, but to achieve the best effect, we should add a bit of a Mohawk perm. Is that okay?”
“Sure, go ahead!”
“Click-click-click—” “Buzz-buzz-buzz—”
Nearly two hours later, Tony helped him dry his hair, set the style, and said with a smile, “Take a look at the effect; I think it’s quite good.”
Tang Song opened his eyes and turned his head from side to side.
The result exceeded his expectations—the irregular, choppy haircut was naturally casual.
With the Mohawk perm added, there was a sophisticated, fluffy look with smooth and rich layers.
Leaving the barber shop, Tang Song went straight to Yunsheng Square.
After roaming around the beauty section on the first floor for a while, he completed the list of costics that Yaoling sent.
Unlike won who pursue the intricacy of makeup, n only need to do the base makeup well, so they don’t need many items, and all of them are quite common.
Returning to Fresh Ho.
Tang Song took a photo of the costics and posted it to the group, comnting, “@Lingling, I’ve got all the equipnt now, let know when you’re free, I’ll need your video guidance.”
The response ca back very quickly.
[Lingling: “Okay, we are eating at the mall right now, we’ll head ho soon!”]
Tang Song: “No rush, take your ti.”
…
1 P.M.
“Ding ding ding—” The WeChat video call ringtone sounded.
Tang Song answered the video call, set his phone on a stand, and faced it toward himself.
Right after, a girl’s upper half of her face appeared onscreen, sowhat peeking out curiously.
This being their first video call, Yaoling seed a bit shy, nowhere as uninhibited and bold as she was online.
Tang Song waved to the front cara, “Good afternoon, Lingling.”
Before Yao Lingling could speak up, another girl popped her head into the fra, squeezing her out, “April, hello, I am Minmin, the new hairstyle really suits you. Honestly, you’re even more handso on video than in photos, our Lingling is blushing!”
“Oh, cut it out!” Yao Lingling pushed her head away, her face slightly flushed as it ca into view.
lon-seed face, high ponytail, refreshingly clean looks, even skin tone, soft features.
She might not be exceptionally beautiful, but all in all, she had a comfortable and enduring appeal.
Yao Lingling blinked and smiled, “Alright, little brother, let’s focus on the task at hand and begin now.”
“Okay,” Tang Song hurriedly arranged the makeup products in front of him and consequently placed a new makeup mirror beside his phone.
“First is to brighten the skin tone, squeeze one pump of the foundation, this one is light and quick-drying, quite suitable for guys. Spread it evenly with fingers, yes, that’s right…from the center of your face, gently pat it in…”
“Second step, concealer, compare and see which shade is closest to your skin tone…”
“There we go, the setting is done! The next step is contouring, which is a bit complex, you won’t learn it quickly, this is good enough for now!”
Next, the other two girls joined in.
Li Shumin exclaid with sparkling eyes, “Wow! Makeup really does make a difference, very handso!”
“It’s because the baseline is good, naturally handso to begin with!”
Tang Song faced the window, looking at himself in the mirror.
With light makeup applied, his skin beca even and fair, and the small acne marks, blemishes, and blackheads on his face also disappeared.
It was like so beauty effects had been turned on—subtle, yet effective.
Paired with his freshly cut short ssy hair, he looked refreshingly handso.
No doubt this would impress Tian Jing, with her standards of beauty and wealth, and give her a better impression on their date.
Tang Song gave a thumbs up to the cara, “Better than I expected, thanks to Lingling’s help.”
Yao Lingling rested her hands on her cheeks, giggling, “No thanks needed, no thanks needed! Watching you transform and make a coback gives a sense of satisfaction, keep it up!”
After ending the video call, Tang Song casually sent out a random-amount red packet to the group chat.
He added a note, “I feel bad for interrupting your mall trip, this is for a cup of milk tea on .”
[Minmin: Thank you, boss.gif]
[Little Red Riding Hood: Thank you, boss.gif]
[Lingling: Thank you, boss.gif]
[Minmin: “(#SidewaysGlanceEmoji) @Lingling, how co you only got 4 yuan? I got 10 tis that, hehe.”]
[Little Red Riding Hood: “@Lingling, I got 14 tis that.”]
[Lingling: “I don’t care, little brother is treating us all to milk tea together, so this 100 yuan should be considered our joint milk tea fund, to be calculated together!”]
…
One red packet was sent, and the group instantly beca lively.
Tang Song watched as the three girls playfully bickered in the group chat, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
After thinking it over, he clicked on Lingling’s profile and sent her another red packet.
This netizen had been following him since his very first post, offering many good suggestions along the way, and today she even took the ti to guide him through makeup, she deserved special treatnt.
