Did Xu Qingzhu not go back to her room to sleep last night?
As Liang Shi thought about it, she tied up her hair and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Today was her first day reporting to Dongheng Group, so naturally she couldn't go with a bare face. But she didn't wear heavy makeup either; she simply applied a base, lipstick, and everyday eyeshadow, and then applied a layer of mascara to curl her eyelashes.
She thought of Xu Qingzhu while applying mascara.
Xu Qingzhu's eyelashes seem to be long and curled enough without needing mascara.
Thinking this, my hand became slightly unsteady, and the mascara smudged under my eyes, creating a patch of black.
She immediately grabbed some tissues to wipe it off, but the mascara was waterproof and quick-drying.
Rubbing it on only makes the area under my eyes darker, like I have dark circles.
Liang Shi: "..."
Even seasoned makeup artists can make mistakes.
That's outrageous.
She looked for makeup remover on the cosmetics shelf but couldn't find it.
He returned to the room and looked at Xu Qingzhu's dressing table, but didn't see it at first glance.
There was nothing she could do but pick up each bottle and read the instructions. However, many of the cosmetics had no Chinese characters; they were either strings of Korean or filled with Japanese. The easiest one to read was a bottle with instructions entirely in English, but Liang Shi glanced at it and realized it was a lotion.
"..."
Helpless, Liang Shi was trying her best to translate the last product on the table that looked somewhat like makeup remover when the bedroom door was pushed open.
Xu Qingzhu walked in.
Liang Shi: "..."
Is it not appropriate to touch someone else's things without asking?
Under Xu Qingzhu's gaze, Liang Shi finally felt a little bit of self-awareness.
She held the bottle in her hand and said with a hint of difficulty, "Let me find some makeup remover."
Xu Qingzhu glanced at her, and it was hard to ignore the large black stain under her eyes.
She asked calmly, "Did your eyeshadow smudge?"
"No," Liang Shi said, "I accidentally smudged the mascara while applying it."
Xu Qingzhu walked in. "Okay."
She walked to the table and took out a round box from the drawer, which Liang Shi had never seen before.
Upon opening the box, one finds neatly laid-out makeup remover pads, emitting a faint smell of alcohol.
Xu Qingzhu handed it to her, saying, "There are everyday skincare products on the table."
"Okay," Liang Shi said, "thank you."
Liang Shi took the box of makeup remover pads into the bathroom. She carefully wiped her face in front of the mirror, but Xu Qingzhu's face was reflected in the mirror.
Xu Qingzhu stood at the door, staring straight at her.
Liang Shi: "...?"
She couldn't help but ask, "Did I kick you last night?"
"No," Xu Qingzhu said, "You sleep very well."
"Then..." Liang Shi couldn't help but ask, "Did you need something from me?"
Xu Qingzhu paused slightly, "Not really."
If it exists, it exists; if it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. What kind of nonsense is this, saying it doesn't count as existing?
Besides, my hands were shaking and I hadn't done my makeup properly, and now I was being stared at, which was really creepy.
Liang Shi let out a soft breath, "Then you..."
“Okay, I have something to do,” Xu Qingzhu interrupted her. “I have to go to work today.”
Liang Shi felt relieved. "Oh, okay, then go ahead. Are you going to your own company?"
Xu Qingzhu nodded, "I get off work at six o'clock in the evening, but I may have to work overtime. If I come back very late, you don't need to wait for me for dinner."
"Okay, I got it." Liang Shi followed her words and said, "I'm going to work too. I didn't like the human resources department that my second brother arranged for me before. I'll try out the newly opened department this time. I should also get off work at six o'clock, but I guess the new department will have overtime, so the time to get off work is not fixed. If I'm not back by dinner time, you don't have to wait for me."
Xu Qingzhu nodded, "Okay."
The negotiation went fairly well, and after it ended, Liang Shi continued to work hard in front of the mirror.
She didn't want to remove all her makeup for this small stain, so she just used a corner of a makeup remover pad to wipe it off. After wiping it off, she could just apply some foundation, which wouldn't be too much trouble.
But Xu Qingzhu stood at the door the whole time and didn't leave even after exchanging all the information.
Liang Shi: "..."
She had never been this nervous before, even when she was being watched by a dozen cameras and needed to be filmed in close-up.
Liang Shi couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"
Xu Qingzhu shook her head. "That's all."
They answered frankly, but simply wouldn't leave.
Liang Shi lowered her hand and asked again, "Do you need to use the restroom?"
Xu Qingzhu shook her head again, "I can go downstairs if I need to."
Liang Shi: "..."
What are you doing here?
She held back for a long time before managing to keep those words from being said.
To avoid upsetting Xu Qingzhu and causing the system to increase her bad luck value.
The main reason is that she gets nervous when Xu Qingzhu stands there.
My hands shake when I'm nervous.
This stain is because I subconsciously thought of Xu Qingzhu's eyelashes and accidentally smudged them there.
She ended up staying there to watch.
Liang Shi felt helpless and decided to just let it go, thinking that at worst he could just remove the makeup and wash his face again.
After she turned on the tap, Xu Qingzhu suddenly spoke up, "Don't you know how to do makeup?"
Liang Shi: "...?"
“How could that be?” Liang Shi immediately denied, “My makeup skills are pretty good.”
In fact, she had worked as a beauty blogger for a period of time before.
Because the makeup process takes so long when filming, she always observes the cosmetics on the table.
Later, when he was bored, he would go live to chat with fans about which cosmetics were good to use recently. When he was even more bored, he even did makeup cosplay.
However, they are all cosplaying characters from anime and manga.
She just accidentally capsized in the ditch, and Xu Qingzhu even saw her capsize at that moment.
Xu Qingzhu walked in, turned off the tap, and neither said she believed nor disbelieved, but took out a new makeup remover pad from the box.
She folded her fingers twice.
Then he looked up at Liang Shi and said, "Lower your head."
Liang Shi: "..."
"Huh?" Liang Shi was surprised, but still did as she was told. She bent down slightly, but still kept some distance from Xu Qingzhu. Xu Qingzhu tiptoed and raised her hand, placing the folded makeup remover pad on Liang Shi's lower eyelid.
Not a penny more, not a penny less.
It covered the entire area perfectly without obstructing Liang Shi's view.
Today is Xu Qingzhu's first day at work, and she is dressed in a professional style.
A pair of fitted black trousers made her legs look very long. Her upper body was a blue and white striped short-sleeved tight-fitting long-sleeved top. If worn alone, it would be a crop top, but paired with the trousers, it was just right, revealing only a small slit, allowing a glimpse of her pale skin. It would be suitable to wear a suit jacket or a casual jacket over it.
Actually, when it comes to clothing, it all comes down to looks.
No matter which one, Xu Qingzhu shouldn't look bad in it.
The main reason is that the Omega has just finished her heat cycle, and her breasts will develop slightly again. She was also wearing a tight top.
The two were close, and her softness would always brush against him unintentionally.
Liang Shi's gaze wandered aimlessly, always inadvertently catching sight of that softness, but if he lowered his eyelids, he would just see Xu Qingzhu's face.
She must have gotten up very early and already put on exquisite makeup, a typical example of natural makeup.
She wore very little makeup, which made her look very innocent.
Xu Qingzhu stood on tiptoe, but Liang Shi's head kept tilting upwards, always unconsciously raising his head.
Just as she was about to lose her reach, Xu Qingzhu grabbed her collar and pulled her down, bringing their faces close together again.
Xu Qingzhu gently wiped Liang Shi's skin at the corner of his eye through a cotton pad.
Her expression was serious and frank, without a trace of allure. Her pupils were brown, perfectly reflecting Liang Shi's face.
She frowned as she spoke, "Why are you hiding?"
Liang Shi: "..."
"No." Liang Shi's voice lacked confidence. "I...you..."
She stumbled twice.
This made Xu Qingzhu laugh. The lipstick was a red bean paste color, very moisturizing, and the visual effect was perfect.
Xu Qingzhu blinked and teased with a smile, "I'm not planning to kill you."
Liang Shi: "..."
Liang Shi suddenly remembered a song that was popular everywhere before she transmigrated.
One of the lyrics was frequently changed.
