  Afterwards, Cheng Qiao quickly picked up the bottles and jars on the ground, hailed a taxi, and then used the excuse that "it's not safe for a girl to take a taxi alone so late" to insist on sending me home first, despite my attempts to dissuade him. What shocked me the most was that he even escorted me all the way to my doorstep. Although I'm not just any stranger to him, but based on the fact that even close friends wouldn't be so enthusiastic, I've come to realize that Cheng Qiao is indeed a reincarnation of Lei Feng, although in this matter, he's made a big fuss over a small issue.

  "We're here, A Yao you go in." Lei Feng loosened his grip on my arm and said with a smile.

  "Little Qiao," I said with a sigh, "if one day you're unlucky and run into someone who's trying to take advantage of you, they'll skin you alive before you can even say goodbye."

  He was taken aback for a moment, but smiled without saying anything.

  I coughed awkwardly: "By the time you get home it'll probably be four o'clock, why don't you just take a rest today and not come to work?"

  "No way," he said without hesitation, "if I don't go today, people will think that sending you home is just an excuse to get a day off."

  I almost burst out laughing: "How is that possible? Who would be so bored as to think of this?"

  He raised an eyebrow: "Me."

  “……”

  "But," he said seriously, looking at me, "if A Yao doesn't go today either, then I'll just sleep at home."

  "You can go now, because I'll be sleeping until tomorrow."

  "Really?" He looked disbelieving.

  "Ah," I said seriously, "really."

  "What if you're cheating me?"

  "Am I that kind of person?"

  He thought for a moment: "Is A Yao dare to make a small vow with the dessert shop's business?"

  "......Remember to come to work at 6 o'clock in the afternoon."

  After finishing speaking, I turned around decisively, took out the key and opened the door.

  A low laugh sounded from behind: "Then I'll be back."

  I turned around and waved at him: "Be careful, it's early in the morning, you're a handsome young man sitting alone in the car, which is actually more unsafe. Both male and female drivers need to be careful."

  He had already taken a few steps, but stopped and turned back to me with a sweet smile: "Thanks for the reminder, A Yao. Once I'm out of the compound, I'll grab some mud and smear it on my face before taking the bus." He paused for a moment, "And as for how many moles are on my butt, A Yao, you'll find out later."

  I watched him disappear around the corner with a twitching mouth, and my forehead throbbed: "Who wants to know how many moles you have on your butt, do I look like a pervert or something..."

  I turned the key, and after the anti-theft door opened, what welcomed me was not the darkness I had imagined. The crescent-shaped energy-saving lamp in the entrance hall quietly emitted light and warmth. It's been a long time since I've come home so late. In the past, my parents seemed to have left the lights on like this too.

  I stood there for a moment, carefully looking at the familiar decorations in front of me, and suddenly felt a warmth in my chest, as if something was about to burst out of its restraints... and it came flooding out.

  ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

  At half past five in the evening, I arrived at "Sweet Sweet" with a cheesecake bought from the bakery at the entrance of the community, taking advantage of this rare moment with a gentle breeze.

  Auntie was startled at first glance: "Yao Yao, what kind of makeup is this?"

  "It looks pretty good, right? I'm quite satisfied myself." I flicked my bangs and said calmly, "This is the zombie makeup that's been popular among students lately. The BB cream you gave me is almost half used up, doesn't my red circle lenses look seductive? It was so scary on the way here that it frightened many people, when I hailed a taxi several drivers even ignored me directly. Now it's rush hour again and it took me so long to wait, next time I'll change to a color with lower saturation."

  "Indeed it's not bad," Auntie said, raising an eyebrow to examine me, "if you hadn't had nothing on your lips, I would have thought this was a geisha makeup."

  "It's far from enough; geishas even paint their necks white."

  "But Yaoyao, this will affect our guests' appetite."

  "Hey, don't worry," I said slowly as I opened the tightly wrapped package, "since it's mealtime and there aren't many customers, I'll finish this cake and head straight to the kitchen."

  Aunt didn't respond, she quietly looked at me for a while before speaking again: "Why did you suddenly put on makeup today?"

  "My heart skipped a beat, and without lifting my head, I said: 'Because the BB cream has expired.'"

  "Yao Yao," Auntie snatched the cake I had just taken two bites of, "Don't think I don't remember when that BB cream was given to you, to be honest."

  "It's really just a matter of heart and blood," I said, covering my forehead in distress. "Is my character so bad now? Why doesn't anyone believe me, not even my own aunt..."

  "This isn't a matter of character, okay." Auntie interrupted me in a gentle tone, "Whoever sees someone who just said that foundation is just a pile of powder not long ago, but today puts on geisha makeup, will think her behavior is abnormal and can't help but suspect her motives, right?"

  "I said, this isn't a geisha makeup, it's a zombie... never mind, I'll be honest. I sighed and continued, 'Because Xiaoyu told me that her literary creation has hit another bottleneck, and this time it even affects whether she can continue on the path of being a writer in the future. As one of her closest friends, I have every reason to help her dispel her worries and clear all obstacles, enriching her visual perspective. So tonight, I specially drew this kind of makeup to stimulate her inspiration.'"

  "It's like that," Auntie smiled and pushed the cake back in front of me, "Stupid kid, Jiupin Literature welcomes you, any search engine search for 'Jiupin Literature' can quickly enter this site, this site permanently provides free high-quality and txt format download service without pop-up windows! Why not confess earlier? I'm all for helping Xiao Yu, of course."

  "Ah, ah, ah," I grinned, "I should have said that earlier."

  "Ah," Auntie stroked her eyebrow, "has Xiao Yu been called over yet? If not, I'll help you make the call..."

  "No!" I reflexively shouted, and immediately realized that my reaction was too exaggerated, so I dryly laughed and said, "Auntie, what I mean is, this kind of small matter, I can handle it myself."

  "Good." Auntie smiled even more warmly. Before I could catch my breath, she suddenly handed her phone to me in front of me, "Then call now."

  I hadn't sat down properly and fell off the chair directly.

  ～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

  Finally, under my aunt's eyelids, I still obediently gave Xiaoyu a call. In my heart, I was originally hoping that she would say she had no time, but as a result, she didn't even ask for the reason and agreed without saying another word.

  The air conditioner's temperature seems to be set too low, a chill runs down my spine, and I recall the cold voice of Ah Qian from earlier on the phone, causing me to shiver involuntarily.

  Xiao Yu can still muddle through, but Ah Qian... even if she really puts on a geisha's makeup today, I'm afraid it will be washed away by her in an instant.

  I finished eating the cake with a taste like chewing wax, and I went to the kitchen with a yawn. As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw that tall figure standing in front of the wooden table cutting watermelon.

  "Xiao Qiao?" I called out, "What are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming."

  "A Yao, you've come..." He looked up at me, and was suddenly so shocked that his words trailed off.

  The other two dessert chefs also looked over and took a loud, synchronized gasp of cold air.

  I sheepishly covered half of my face: "Today is boring, let's play with makeup and enrich our facial expressions."

  One of the dessert chefs, Lan, was the first to come back to her senses and laughed, saying: "I didn't expect our boss's idol to be Cao Cao, looks like she really likes him, even dressing up as him."

  After watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I sincerely felt that Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang were born to be a good pair of bros. Over the years, I have been dedicated to finding cases of Cao and Zhuge in various unofficial histories, but to no avail. When I heard Lan's words, I was very surprised: "I like Cao Cao, but why did I dress up as him?"

  "It's just Black Face Zhang Fei, Red Face Guan Gong, and White Face Cao Cao!" Lan Jie said with a serious face.

  "It's like that." I wiped the black line on my forehead and laughed dryly.

  "Wow, boss lady is not dressed as Cao Cao, she has a unique taste!" Another dessert chef, Ji sister, chimed in, "I see those young girls outside now like to wear smoky eye makeup and panda makeup, with those dark circles under their eyes, they really think they're pandas! But our boss lady likes rabbit makeup, look at this makeup, it looks... um..." She thought for a moment, then slapped her thigh, "Although it's not easy on the eyes, but you can't see any dark circles at all!"

  "Ah..." My heart skipped a beat again, "Yes, the dark circles are gone, gone..."

  Cheng Qiao, who had been silent all along, put down the knife and walked in front of me, carefully examining my face: "Dark circles? Can't see them? Then why are your eyelids swollen so badly?"
