I felt incredibly embarrassed that my crush had seen me being so infatuated.
It took a long time for Ren Tingting to recover. Her face was still flushed, and she dared not look at Xiao Ning again, keeping her head down and not saying a word.
Xiao Ning felt a pang of regret. If he had known this girl was so easily seduced, he wouldn't have been so casual. Now, he was probably stuck with her.
Seeing that the girl wasn't talking, Xiao Ning had to find a topic to talk about.
"Ms. Ren, you're actually beautiful even without makeup!"
Ren Tingting looked up and said in surprise, "Really? You really think I'm...pretty?"
After saying that, she blushed again.
This girl is such a fangirl!
Xiao Ning patted her forehead, feeling defeated by her infatuation.
"Uh, Mr. Xiao, what are you doing? Is your forehead uncomfortable?"
Seeing his actions, Ren Tingting asked, puzzled.
Xiao Ning shook her head, feeling utterly exhausted.
He said, "It's nothing. You're still young and naturally beautiful. You don't need to wear makeup at all. If you wear makeup, how are the other women supposed to live?"
"Hehe!" Ren Tingting felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Then, she asked with some doubt, "But why did my teacher at the girls' school tell us that makeup can enhance a woman's appearance and temperament, and that even Western women all wear makeup!"
Xiao Ning smiled dismissively and said, "If your husband says something like that, he's either stupid or malicious!"
Seeing the girl's indignant expression, he waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry. I have my reasons for saying this. Let me explain!"
"You haven't been to Western countries, so you don't know about Western women, but I've seen many!"
At the same time, he thought to himself, "I've not only seen it, but I've also tasted it."
"Most cosmetics contain varying amounts of heavy metals such as lead and mercury. The harm caused by long-term application of these substances to the skin is self-evident."
"Don't Westerners know that cosmetics contain toxins? Of course they do, but they have reasons why they have to use them!"
"Women in Western countries age very quickly. At ten years old, they are exquisite, like angels. At fifteen, they are peerless beauties. In their twenties, they begin to age gradually. By their thirties, no one would doubt that you can call them 'grandmother'."
"They have to use makeup to maintain their appearance at all times, otherwise they would be too ashamed to show their faces to others."
"Therefore, it's hard to say whether cosmetics ruined them or whether they were born with this kind of constitution!"
"However, we Chinese and Westerners are different human races. Eastern women age more slowly than Western women, so naturally we don't need cosmetics!"
"Besides, Miss Ren, you are naturally beautiful and young. It would be best if you avoided these poisonous things in the future!"
"Moreover, I believe that a woman who is fresh and natural is the most beautiful. Women who wear makeup are showing a lack of confidence in their appearance."
As he continued, Xiao Ning seemed to be speaking from the heart, recalling how in modern society he often encountered women who looked like humans when they wore makeup but looked like ghosts when they took it off. Therefore, he deeply hated makeup.
You have no idea if it's the real person or not. Only after washing away the embellishments can you know whether the other party is the real deal or a fake.
"Ah...this...I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Ren Tingting quickly shook her head and denied it: "I just think... makeup can make women more beautiful, yes, that's it, it's not that I'm insecure."
"I understand."
Xiao Ning smiled slightly and praised, "Miss Ren is naturally beautiful. Even without makeup, she is as beautiful as an angel. However, cosmetics contain trace amounts of toxicity, which is harmful. You should avoid touching them in the future."
"Yes, I'll listen to Mr. Xiao."
Seeing how terrible and serious Xiao Ning's words were, Ren Tingting dared not touch it again and quickly nodded in agreement.
At this point, Ren Tingting felt very uncomfortable on her face and quickly said, "Mr. Xiao, I would like to go home first and wash off the rouge and powder on my face."
"Or, you can just call me Brother Xiao. Calling me Mr. Xiao all the time sounds a bit too formal!"
Xiao Ning smiled slightly and said, "Besides, why go home if you just want to wash off the rouge and powder?"
With a casual flick of his wrist, a flash of light appeared, and a large ball of water materialized out of thin air.
[Water Gathering Talisman]
If the ancestors of the Maoshan Sect knew that their painstakingly researched talisman techniques were being used by their descendants to woo women, they might be so angry they'd crawl out of their coffins.
It must be said that Xiao Ning's technique of drawing talismans in the void has become extremely proficient, exuding a high level of sophistication.
This scene startled Ren Tingting, who exclaimed, "Brother Xiao... what is this?!"
"This is magic."
Xiao Ning smiled slightly and said, "Miss Ren, there's no need to be afraid. Didn't you want to wash off the rouge and powder on your face? Washing with this water will have the same effect."
Ren Tingting nodded, staring at the ball of clear water that was suspended motionless in mid-air, finding it quite magical.
So this is the legendary magic?
Who would have thought that Brother Xiao would know magic!
"Brother Xiao, please don't always call me Miss Ren, just... just call me Tingting!"
Then, she said to Xiao Ning shyly.
