Chapter 148 Chapter Memorial
By the time Lu Youyou took the food for the two of them to the car, Wang Qiao had already removed her bizarre makeup.
Her tired, bare face revealed a pair of unusually swollen eye bags.
"Youyou, do I look ugly right now?"
Lu Youyou placed the food on the table and carefully examined her.
"Not ugly at all, her eyebrows are well-shaped, her nose is straight and upturned, and her lips are neither too thin nor too thick. She looks very pretty."
"But I didn't trim the stray hairs on my eyebrows, and my lips were chapped and covered in dead skin."
"That's alright. After we finish eating, I'll help you trim your eyebrows. Oh, and I can also do your makeup. Although I can't cover all your dark circles, I can cover most of them."
Wang Qiao was somewhat surprised: "You can do makeup too?"
"Yes, I wear makeup every day when I go to work. As the boss's secretary, I accompany him to various occasions, so wearing makeup is a form of etiquette."
Wang Qiao finally smiled: "So you wear makeup too? That's great, I'm not the special one."
Lu Youyou pointed to the scallion pancake on the table: "Eat quickly, Uncle Zhang filled it with lots of fillings, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
"it is good."
Wang Qiao took a big bite of the scallion pancake, then suddenly looked up and asked, "Do you think I'm being pretentious by wearing makeup in the survival world?"
"will not."
"why?"
Lu Youyou answered earnestly, "Because you'll be happy with makeup, and that's enough."
Wang Qiao sniffed, lowered his head to eat the pancake, finished it in one go, and then buried his head in drinking the soup.
Throughout the entire time, he didn't look up; the only sounds were occasionally the sound of him blowing his nose with a tissue.
After finishing her meal, Lu Youyou washed the bowl clean before taking it out to Zhang Weimin.
Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Weimin called him back.
"Xiao You, I have a question for you."
"what's up?"
"Besides not sleeping well, does Xiao Qiao have any other problems? For example, insomnia, vivid dreams, anxiety, or neurasthenia?"
Lu Youyou paused for a moment and asked, "Why are you asking these questions?"
"Well, after I retired from the army, I studied with a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for a while. I wanted to find out Xiao Qiao's symptoms so I could brew her a bowl of medicine."
“Before, Yu Ning was anxious and couldn’t sleep. She wanted to take melatonin. I felt that it was not as good as pure Chinese medicine, so I brewed medicine for her. She got better after that, so I thought I would brew some for Xiao Qiao.”
Lu Youyou recalled what Wang Qiao had told her before and replied:
"I have insomnia. After finally falling asleep, I wake up from nightmares and then continue to have insomnia."
Zhang Weimin nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood, and then took out a piece of paper and wrote and drew on it.
They would also occasionally throw in a few medicinal herbs that Lu Youyou didn't recognize, arranging them here and there.
Lu Youyou watched for a while, but since she couldn't understand it anyway, she said goodbye to Zhang Weimin and got into Wang Qiao's car.
She had promised to do Wang Qiao's makeup during the meal, and naturally she couldn't go back on her word.
Lu Youyou hadn't worn makeup in a while, so she was a little rusty.
Since it was her first time doing makeup for someone other than herself, Lu Youyou took a while to get used to it before her movements became more skilled.
Forty minutes passed before she finished doing Wang Qiao's makeup.
Her makeup was understated; she didn't deliberately draw her eyeliner upwards, but rather let it droop downwards following the shape of her eyes.
The nose contouring and other embellishments are minimal, only serving to slightly reduce puffiness.
The effect presented is not that of a captivating older sister, but rather a clever and adorable girl next door.
"Open your eyes and look, how is it?"
Wang Qiao opened her eyes, looked at herself in the mirror, and was momentarily stunned.
The person in the mirror looks a lot like me when I was a child, just enlarged proportionally.
Her eyes suddenly turned red.
It seems that from that time on, she abandoned her former self and put on heavy makeup that even her relatives couldn't recognize.
Seeing myself like this now feels like a distant memory, as if from another world.
"long…"
"Ok?"
"It's too plain, I don't like it."
Lu Youyou wasn't angry. She picked up the eyeshadow palette again and said, "Then I'll help you deepen the color."
Wang Qiao's skin condition is not good due to insufficient sleep.
Even with heavy makeup, the look doesn't adhere well.
But Wang Qiao still breathed a sigh of relief. She liked herself with heavy makeup, and it gave her the illusion of being a different person.
She is a completely new person, not the broken version of herself.
hum~
Your friend has sent you a message.
Upon hearing Xiao Lu's announcement, Lu Youyou put down her eyeshadow palette and checked her watch.
It was a message sent by Zhang Weimin.
[Zhang Weimin: Xiaoyou, come out and get the medicine I made for Xiaoqiao. I won't come over.]
[Workaholic oxen and horses: immediately.]
"Who is it?" Wang Qiao asked curiously.
"You'll know in a minute."
Lu Youyou kept everyone in suspense before getting out of the car.
When I got back on the bus, I was carrying three glass bottles.
"what is this?"
"Uncle Zhang brewed this medicine for you, saying it can calm your mind and soothe your nerves. Drink it half an hour after meals. This is a day's dose."
Lu Youyou took out one bottle and gave it to Wang Qiao, then put the remaining two bottles in the refrigerator.
Turning around, I saw that Wang Qiao was still holding the bottle, without moving an inch.
"What, frozen in place? Uncle Zhang didn't say the glass bottle was a freeze card," Lu Youyou joked.
Wang Qiao didn't say anything, but opened the bottle and drank the medicine soup sip by sip.
Then, using the watch, he delivered an air conditioner to Zhang Weimin.
The air conditioner was taken from someone else's vehicle; it doesn't require an Ice Core and is ready to use immediately upon installation.
hum~
Lu Youyou and Wang Qiao's watches vibrated simultaneously, and someone tagged all the members in the public chat again.
[Coffee-loving Cat: @Everyone, don't believe Gu Jingchen's team as bodyguards! They're a bunch of sissies who come to my side just to show off, damn it!]
[A fangirl: What? My idol isn't like that! Even when he acts in fantasy dramas, he sports a beard and plays a celestial being. He never tries to look cool; he's just naturally handsome.]
[Coffee-loving Cat: Believe it or not, I hired Gu Jingchen, and my brother hired Xin Ge. Xin Ge killed more people and even gave my brother a treasure chest and some kills, while Gu Jingchen didn't give me anything.]
[The Silent Judge: Who is Brother Xin?]
[Coffee-loving Cat: It's Bi Qixin! @Reborn Conspirators, he's Brother Xin.]
[The Cat Who Loves Fish: What? Are you an anti-fan of my brother? Or a shill hired by that Bi Qixin guy?]
【…】
Lu Youyou had just finished reading the conversation when she looked back and noticed that the profile picture of "Coffee Lover Cat" had gone black.
he died.
This caused an uproar in the chat.
[The Writer's Notebook: I initially suspected he was a plant, but now it seems he wasn't at all. He was just an honest passerby who was killed by Gu Jingchen's team!]
[The argumentative debater: You personally witnessed Gu Jingchen's team commit the murder? Why don't you say it was Bi Qixin who did it?]
[The chubby young man who loves to dredge up the past: Why would Bi Qixin kill someone? People are speaking up for him, is the person upstairs crazy?]
【…】
The other end of the watch.
Shen Taiyang smiled triumphantly as he watched his changed name being hotly discussed by everyone.
He killed the cat that loved coffee, and he forced the message to be posted on the public screen.
This is all for this moment, to make a name for myself in front of everyone.
Now look what's happened! He's become famous by associating with Gu Jingchen, a big star, and he's also smeared Gu Jingchen's reputation.
so good.
He can now collect the lives of another batch of fools and go make his wishes.
