Stunning (3)

Fu Songhua didn’t dare to move his head, his face full of confusion. “Hey, I’m not dissing cosmetics. I think this is pseudoscience, metaphysics – What do you mean when you say ‘using foundation cream to cover up the redness in the cheeks before applying cosmetics’? What do you mean ‘using a foundation to cover up a too dark of a lip color before applying lipstick’? What’s the difference between taking off trousers and…”

Remembering that there were girls on the side, he finally held back on the word “farting.” “Based on conscience, what is this if not insanity?”

Fang Li angrily glared at him. “You don’t understand a lot, do you?”

Fu Songhua puffed out his chest. “Of course, I have been following many beauty bloggers recently.”

Tang Tiantian asked curiously, “Why are you following these?”

This time, Fu Songhua didn’t say anything and secretly glanced at Fang Li before quickly lowering his sight.

Fang Li pursed his lips and also didn’t say anything.

Finally, Liu Lianyi and Tang Tiantian finished putting on makeup on the boys and simultaneously breathed in relief. “Fang Li, look at this. Is this okay?”

Fu Songhua turned his head and became shocked. “Fuck! So good-looking!”

Ruan Qingmu and Qin Yuan had a tacit understanding and looked at each other.

After looking, they couldn’t take their eyes off each other.

Fang Li smiled and bashfully nodded at the two girls. “Thank you.”

Liu Lianyi looked down at the lipstick set. “For the lipstick, Fang Li, which one do you think is better?”

Qin Yuan suddenly said indifferently, “You guys haven’t had dinner yet. Hurry up and eat a little. We will apply the lipsticks ourselves.”

Tang Tiantian and Liu Lianyi hurriedly nodded and held hands to go out together, running to the big auditorium on the first floor.

Tang Tiantian whispered, “Say, what will they look like after putting on lipsticks and wigs and changing into skirts?”

Liu Lianyi pursed her lips, smiling. “They will certainly stun the whole audience.”

“Yes, ah. It’s indeed like that saying: ‘If the boys become pretty, the girls will be nothing!’”

The backstage of the big auditorium was extremely spacious, designed for a big mass of students to participate as the audience and it was definitely as big as a lecture hall. Every class performing gathered in groups of three or four. Some had just come down from the stage and some were preparing to go on the stage, checking out each others’ costumes.

A skit was performing on the stage right then, with an intriguing campus plot. A faint cheering could be heard from the audience and the applause rose to the sky.

“Hey, where are the people from sophomore Classes 1 and 9?” Several young girls putting on makeup backstage excitedly looked around. “I really want to watch their show!”

“Ahhh. So curious! I’m about to have a nosebleed when I think of Boss Qin and Fu Songhua dancing.”

“I also want to watch Ruan Qingmu! Hahaha and Fang Li. I always feel they must be very talented.”

“So weird, oh. What dance are they performing? Is there really no information on it?”

“The show’s name hasn’t even been released yet. It’s said they’ve given prior notice to the Youth League, wanting to announce it at the last moment.”

“I heard the few of them practiced for a month and would tightly close the dance room every time. Boss Qin even bought window curtains using his own money…”

“Fuck, so abnormal. Is it really necessary to be so secretive?”

“Furthermore, they didn’t borrow costumes from the school’s literature and art department, saying they had custom-made an entire set outside.”

“Ohh, this isn’t strange. Boss Qin is the most mysophobic person. How can he put up with the clothes that other people had worn? What’s the big deal for him to buy a specially made costume?”

In the activity room on the third floor, Fang Li looked down and picked up the brand new lipstick set for a while, muttering, “Class monitor Qin should use this. This is the most suitable one.”

Qin Yuan reached out for the lipstick he handed and casually gave it to Ruan Qingmu, his tone casual. “Help me apply it.”

Ruan Qingmu was stunned. “I don’t know how.”

“Fang Li is already very busy. Help him to share a bit of the work.” Qin Yuan’s pair of pupils calmly looked at him.

Fang Li nodded. “Ruan-ge, it’s very easy. Draw a line following the lips line before slowly filling the middle part and it’ll be fine.”

Ruan Qingmu scratched his head and reluctantly accepted the lipstick. He held Qin Yuan’s face and moved closer.

The makeup on Qin Yuan’s face was androgynous in a beautiful way and the makeup dazzlingly emphasized his phoenix eyes. Leaning so close, there seemed to be starlight shining in his eyes.

Fang Li had chosen a red color and Ruan Qingmu carefully drew along the edge of Qin Yuan’s thin lips before slowly applying two layers.

Fang Li turned his head to look and smiled. “It’s quite good. It’s not spilling out anywhere.”

Ruan Qingmu coughed once and stared fixedly at the familiar yet strange person in front. His heart felt strange and he couldn’t help but be playful, holding up Qin Yuan’s chin. “This female hero is valiant and formidable-looking, very beautiful.”

A blush appeared on Qin Yuan’s face. He indifferently looked at Ruan Qingmu and casually took the lipstick from his hand, suddenly asking Fang Li. “Can he use the same color?”

Fang Li looked at it. “He can. Your makeup is beautiful but aloof and applying it thickly is better. Ruan-ge’s look is sweeter, so applying it thinly is better.”

Ruan Qingmu was about to protest, but Qin Yuan had firmly held his face. “Open your mouth.”

Ruan Qingmu abruptly widened his eyes. “Mm? – Huhu –”

It was so weird to share lipstick. That thing had just been applied to Qin Yuan’s lip and now, it was touching his lips!

Ahhh… did this mean this lipstick color was slightly hot?

Qin Yuan slowly followed his lips line and applied the bright red color thinly, little by little, all over his lips, attentively and carefully.

After a while, his hand paused and he met Ruan Qingmu’s gaze, voice hoarse. “Your beauty is also incomparable, miss.”
