BXBX NOVEL Chapter 56 - 56 Who Are You?
The School Belle. This title had accompanied Lin Wan for three years. Not only was she beautiful, but her cold and aloof temperament had attracted many people, including her crush, Luo Xi.
The school hunks and straight-A students were all attracted to Lin Wan. Wherever she went, the boys did not seem to care about other girls. The number of love letters Lin Wan received was more than the homework she copied as punishment.
Lin Wan opened her eyes when she felt Song Jing’s grip on the brush getting forceful.
“The skin here is a little dark. I need to focus on cleaning it,” Song Jing quickly explained.
Lin Wan did not think too much about it and closed her eyes again.
[Songsong, do you have to cast a shadow on the temples to make European-styled makeup?]
[Of course, not only do you need to shadow your temples but also the sides of your nose. You must be a new fan.]
“The most difficult part of European style makeup is the eyeshadow. You need to make it look like there is a depression around the eyes. Everyone, look carefully. First, use a dark brown smudge to dye the eyeliner…,” Song Jing explained every step in full detail.
[Remember, when you attend the banquet of the rich in the future, you can do European makeup.]
[I’m dying of laughter. A banquet of the rich?]
[Songsong, do you have any tips for applying eyeliner? What should I do if my hand shakes a lot.]
[Songsong said to place a small mirror under your eyes when you put on eyeliner to stabilize your hand.]
“Lin Wan’s skin is naturally fair, so she doesn’t need a thick foundation. I suggest choosing a Fair Foundation…”
Song Jing, who was so engrossed in his work, had gradually forgotten that Lin Wan was her model. She finished her European style makeup.
Lin Wan felt like she was about to fall asleep, but she was afraid of snoring, so she pinched herself to stay awake. Half an hour later, Song Jing put away the makeup box. “It’s done.”
[I’m looking forward to it.]
[This is Songsong’s first time doing European makeup in her livestream, right? She taught me so much.]
[I feel like I understand, but I also feel like I don’t understand anything.]
[Just now, I was watching a live broadcast with my best friend while applying it to each other. Now, the two of them have become national treasures.]
[Sister, can you follow the steps?]
[Lin Wan’s up. I’m looking forward to the results.]
Song Jing brought Lin Wan a mirror. The woman in the mirror had double European-style eyelids, deep eyes, and looked mysterious. Even though Lin Wan had a baby face, she gave off a regal aura.
[This isn’t makeup. It’s clearly a disguise.]
[Is that really Lin Wan? The baby-faced young girl is gone.]
[As expected, you don’t need plastic surgery if you know how to put on great makeup.]
[Will Li Yanchen recognize Lin Wan after she goes back? She looks really different.]
Lin Wan looked at herself in the mirror and was stunned. She was never one to put on heavy makeup, but she found that it looked pretty good. The only problem was that it would take a long time to remove the makeup. When she thought about the amount of time it would take to clean her face she didn’t like it anymore.
“Wow, it’s really good.” Lin Wan turned her face to the left and the right in the mirror. “Will it be troublesome to remove the makeup later?”
“Not really. I’ll help you remove it. You can go back and show Li Yanchen first. Let him recognize his wife.” Song Jing raised her eyebrows, amused.
‘Did she really need to show him?’ Lin Wan wondered. “I don’t want to,” she said after a long pause. “Why not just remove it now?”
Lin Wan’s reaction surprised Song Jing. Song Jing was very confident in her makeup skills. There were many internet celebrities among her customers. Every time she finished their makeup, they would take all kinds of photos to show off. Some people even approached Song Jing and asked her to be their stylist. They were afraid that their marriage would not last for long, so they wanted to change their style to attract their spouse.
[Remove it right after putting it on?]
[Songsong asked Lin Wan to go back and let Li Yanchen take a look. She rejected it.]
[I think there is a problem in their relationship. If I was made to look this beautiful, I would dress up and meet my husband right away.]
[Previous post, I strongly suspect that too. Could it be that Songsong knows that Lin Wan and Li Yanchen had an argument and wants to use this method to help the two reconcile? Lin Wan doesn’t appreciate it.]
“Are you sure you want to remove your makeup right now?” Song Jing asked softly.
“Yes.”
In the Li family’s courtyard, the three children had already returned to their rooms. It was almost nine, and Lin Wan wasn’t home yet. Li Yanchen waited in the courtyard, feeling uneasy.
He hesitated for a while, then decided to head to Anan’s house to check in on Lin Wan. But he needed an excuse.
Li Yanchen walked into his son’s bedroom. His two sons were already asleep, but Li Zexin was fiddling with his LEGO set.
“Li Zexin?” said Li Yanchen in a low voice.
Li Zexin didn’t even raise his head.
“Didn’t you say you wanted me to buy you a pirate ship? I’ll arrange it when I get back the day after tomorrow.” Li Yanchen sat down beside his son.
“What?! Really?” Li Zexin put down the LEGO in his hand.
“Xuanxuan and Jiejie are asleep. Come out so we can talk,” Li yanchen walked out of the room.
Li Zexin didn’t know what his father was planning, but he had been thinking about the Caribbean pirate ship for a long time.
“Dad, are you seriously going to buy me toys? I know you aren’t that nice of a father. Are you thanking me for giving you the cup as a gift? After all, the others didn’t buy you anything. It’s just a simple cup. You don’t need to thank me for it.” Li Zexin was flattered. His father finally understood that he was the best among the three brothers.
[What is Li Zexin saying? Li Yanchen is going to buy him a toy?!]
[He was the only one who bought Li Yanchen something. It’s understandable that he is moved by his son’s thoughtfulness.]
[This isn’t good. Xuanxuan also bought something, but he hasn’t given it to his father yet. Jiejie is still young and can’t even understand these things.]
[Is Li Yanchen that petty? Will he be biased towards his sons just because one bought him a cup?]
Li Yanchen cleared his throat. “You have to help me with something first.”
“Tsk, I knew it.” The smile froze on Li Zexin’s face. “I won’t help whatever it is.”
...
“You don’t want the Pirates of the Caribbean toy ship? I heard that the new one is a meter long.” Li Yanchen used sweet promises to coax him.
“Then I’ll have to hear what it is you want, first.” The boy began to waver.
Li Yanchen took Li Zexin away from the camera and explained the situation. In the live broadcast room, only the lamp hanging under The Great Banyan Tree was seen.
[What are they saying? I can’t hear anything.]
[Director, isn’t the livestream going to last until 10 P.M? There’s no one left in the Li family, I want to file a complaint.]
[What are you doing sneaking around in the middle of the night?]
Li Yanchen and Li Zexin appeared in Anan’s livestream.
“Auntie Song, where’s Ms. Lin? My brother wants to listen to her story, so we came to take her home.” Li Zexin looked around. The boy followed his father’s plan.
Lin Wan was standing right in front of Li Zexin, waiting for her makeup to be removed. Li Zexin didn’t recognize her. Li Yanchen’s eyes also darted around, trying to spot her.
“What story? I’m not free right now,” said Lin Wan, impatiently.
“Who are you?” Li Zexin stared at the strange woman in front of him for a minute. Then his mouth fell open. “Ms. Lin?!”
...
Li Yanchen was shocked as well. ‘How did Lin Wan end up like this?’ She was pretty but she looked completely different.
“I was just going to remove her makeup and send her back. Do you guys want to have a look before I remove it?” said Song Jing, noticing the surprise on Li Yanchen’s face. She put down the cotton and makeup remover.
