"Miss, please remove your makeup."
"...?"
Miss Yun heard Xu Chang’an’s words, and her body sitting there beca sowhat stiff.
She blinked, glanced back at Xu Chang’an, looked at the slightly reflected light in the mirror, opened the rouge paper in her hand, and stared at the patterns printed on it.
"What did you say?" Yun Qian asked calmly.
"..."
Xu Chang’an remained silent.
He saw Yun Qian reflected in the mirror and felt the girl’s gaze pierce through the reflection and fall onto his face, causing him to swallow involuntarily.
He had the feeling that Miss Yun suddenly turned somber, and her gaze felt icy as if it could cut through his skin.
"I said..." Xu Chang’an repeated firmly, "Miss, let’s remove your makeup before going to the dinner party."
"But I just finished this makeup."
Yun Qian’s tone was calm, leaving Xu Chang’an unable to gauge her thoughts, and he could only cautiously add, "It’s not like there’s any other way."
"No other way?"
Miss Yun tilted her head and remained silent for a mont before asking, "So you don’t like my makeup?"
Yun Qian wasn’t angry; she was just asking, earnestly asking.
Because if Xu Chang’an didn’t like her wearing makeup, then she wouldn’t have to care about whose makeup skills were better, Zhu Pingniang or Li Zhibai.
Listening to Yun Qian’s words, Xu Chang’an subconsciously looked at the girl’s makeup.
Even though his mood wasn’t very high at the mont, even though he had just eaten so snacks, Yun Qian’s exquisite makeup on her face remained vibrant and pristine, showing no signs of smudge.
Her slightly lifted brows were delicate and beautiful, like a fine painting.
Sigh.
This Yun Qian, no matter where she goes, even at the party prepared by Zhu Pingniang, would undoubtedly be the center of attention.
"Why sigh?" Yun Qian nodded, pressing her fingers to the corner of her lips, "As expected, you don’t like my makeup."
"I like it, like it so much." Xu Chang’an imdiately corrected Yun Qian’s assumption.
"?"
Listening to Xu Chang’an’s unabashedly affectionate words, Yun Qian’s head ford a small question mark.
"You like it, and yet you want ... to remove it?" Yun Qian blinked more frequently, her whole deanor filled with confusion.
"Well, here’s the thing." Xu Chang’an sat next to Yun Qian and whispered a little explanation, "Miss, given your relationship with the teacher right now, if Senior Zhu finds out, she’ll definitely be jealous."
"She knows how to be jealous; she’s really impressive." Yun Qian nodded, because she hadn’t learned how to be jealous.
"How is that impressive?" Xu Chang’an was bewildered, "What I an is, since we still need the Senior’s help for sothing... well, it’s better to avoid complications if possible."
Just as long as Yun Qian removes her makeup and wears sothing slightly more simple so she doesn’t look so stunning... even if Zhu Pingniang knows Yun Qian’s good relationship with Li Zhibai, she wouldn’t be too sour.
That’s what he thought.
"Miss, since we’re going to Senior Zhu’s party today, it’s important not to overshadow the host." Xu Chang’an said earnestly.
"I don’t quite understand, but... as long as I know you like the makeup, that’s enough." Yun Qian shook her head, then looked at Xu Chang’an, "Okay, let’s take it off as you say."
"Alright."
Xu Chang’an finally relaxed, then gathered a handful of water vapor in his hand, gently passing it over Miss Yun’s cheeks to clean off the rouge bit by bit.
Feeling Xu Chang’an’s fingers on her lips, Yun Qian comfortably closed her eyes.
"..."
As for Xu Chang’an, while washing Yun Qian’s makeup, his fingers couldn’t help but tremble, causing the water vapor to dissipate.
He couldn’t help it.
Yun Qian, with her eyes closed and letting him do as he pleased, truly made it difficult for him to stay calm.
After a while, the makeup that Yun Qian had ticulously prepared was finally washed clean by Xu Chang’an.
"..."
Having completed the task, Xu Chang’an looked at Miss Yun, who had her eyes closed.
Hmm?
Sothing seed... off?
Xu Chang’an glanced towards the window.
Heavy rain poured down fiercely, creating countless dull sounds on the rooftop, while the green stone ground outside accumulated clusters of interconnected puddles.
He then looked at Yun Qian and confird sothing.
’How co Miss Yun is even more beautiful sans makeup???’
As he gazed at Yun Qian, his heart raced uncontrollably, his heartbeat accelerated noticeably.
He wondered whether it was because he purposely thought Miss Yun should look less attractive at this mont, causing a rebellious thought to erge. The more he wanted to believe Yun Qian wasn’t beautiful, the more stunning she appeared, making it impossible for him to look away.
This was his true heart, telling him not to indulge in unrealistic thoughts, for Miss Yun was destined to overshadow the host even without makeup.
’No, Miss absolutely cannot look this good today!’
Thinking this way, Xu Chang’an suddenly froze, his eyes widening.
The reason was simple.
The System had issued another task.
[Task "Near the End (Part Two)" issued, please check on your own.]
Task details: Kiss the woman in front of you.
Task deadline: Fifteen minutes, failure will be deed unsuccessful.
Task reward: None.
Failure penalty: None.
——
"???"
After the recent ordeal, Xu Chang’an had beco much calr.
This System seems malfunctioning, doesn’t it? One task doesn’t work, now there’s another? Isn’t "Near the End (Part Two)" coming too fast, as for the task before, it was praising Miss Yun, and now it’s about a kiss? What’s next...
