Chapter 189: Make-Up

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tian Mei was in a foul mood. She’d heard from Zhou Lian that both Zhou Lian and Xu Zhi had showered using Xia Xin’s bucket. She was an artist on this reality show too, and it felt like Xia Xin was playing favorites.

The more Tian Mei thought about it, the angrier she became. She fumed, “Why’s Xia Xin acting like this? Just because I’m more popular? Well, that’s just unfair!”

“I’ll be asking for a bucket tomorrow. I want to use it too.”

What Tian Mei didn’t realize was that her clothes-changing actions were caught on camera. The director had pointed out where the cameras were, but Tian Mei had only paid attention to one of them.

[Wow! Wardrobe change! Is this a special treat?]

[Her figure’s not bad, but she’s not brave enough to take it all off.] [She did this on purpose, right? The director told her about the camera.]

[Did you hear what she said? She’s claiming that Xia Xin’s treating her differently.]

[How thick-skinned can she be? Saying she’s so popular?]

[She’s so self-centered. Always blaming others.]

[I need to cleanse my eyes. She’s too ugly.]

[Why does she sound so entitled about asking for a bucket?]

Tian Mei had no idea her rant about Xia Xin had been seen and heard by the audience. After changing into her new outfit, she returned to her hammock with skincare products in tow. The camera that had caught her changing now captured her makeup removal in all its glory.

With a self-satisfied expression, she applied her skincare products, oblivious to the fact that her bare face was unbearable for viewers to look at.

[She looks so old without makeup!]

[I almost threw up my dinner.]

[Her bare face looks older than my mom’s. Is she in her 40s or 50s?]

[She’s not putting on makeup; she’s putting on a new face!]

[I gotta admit, her makeup skills are impressive.] [She could be likable as a makeup artist if she was less self-centered.]

[At this point, I can’t even… I’m speechless.]

Unaware of the online disdain, Tian Mei continued to grumble about Xia Xin.

Lu Shi, who was already asleep, didn’t hear her rant about Xia Xin.

The next morning, Xia Xin woke up early and checked her phone. Their show, “Nature’s Allies,” was trending, with some attention-grabbing headlines. [#Astonishing! Fifty-year-old lady shows off makeup skills on #Nature’s

Allies.]

[#Middle-aged lady accuses Xia Xin of favoritism on #Nature’s Allies.] [#The Importance of Makeup Skills Revealed on #Nature’s Allies.]

Intrigued, Xia Xin clicked the links and discovered a shocking secret. She thought to herself, ‘Tian Mei was this old! And she’d been prancing around calling people big brother or big sister? And then there was Tian Mei, caught changing her clothes on camera. ‘

Xia Xin couldn’t help but burst into laughter, which caught the attention of Jing MO, who texted her asking why she was laughing. Xia Xin sent him screenshots, and he too chuckled.

‘Tian Mei actually dared to say such things about Xia Xin?’ Jing MO thought to himself.

Jing MO, along with Lu Shi, Zhou Lian, and Xu Zhi, had all seen the trending topics. Lu Shi felt a complex emotion stirring within him. He’d slept with Tian Mei, who never took off her makeup. He hadn’t minded at that time, thinking as long as they didn’t kiss, it would be fine. Little did he know that beneath the makeup lay such an old face. He began to question his taste.

Tian Mei was still sound asleep, her face slathered with a thick layer of overnight mask. Lu Shi stared at her, lost in his thoughts.

Half an hour later, Tian Mei woke up to find Lu Shi gazing intently at her. Smiling coyly, she felt satisfied with her wardrobe choices which highlighted her figure, and her face was conveniently covered with a thick mask, hidden from view..
