Chapter 10 Makeup

  The salesgirl saw Mu Yu Xing looking at her and immediately revealed a sweet smile with a hint of flattery on her face:

  "Miss, are you satisfied with this rose-colored eyeshadow? We have a promotion now, if you buy this eyeshadow and any lip gloss, you can enjoy a 9.2 discount, it's a great deal!"

  The shop assistant was about twenty years old, with a delicate face and a sweet smile that made people feel quite pleasant.

  "If I buy two boxes, can I get a free lipstick?" Mu Yu Xing asked, waving the eyeshadow in her hand.

  The shop assistant's eyes flashed with a hint of brightness, and then immediately showed a look of difficulty: "Miss, sorry, there is no way to give it away for free. If you want to buy two boxes, I can give you a 10% discount."

  "Fine, forget it. I was thinking that if you could give me more discounts, I would buy a few more, but 10% off is too little, never mind," Mu Yuexin's face showed disappointment as she put the eyeshadow on the counter and prepared to leave.

  The salesperson became anxious: "Miss, don't go yet! How about this? I'll give you 8.5% off, which is the company's internal discount price. Since you really want to buy it today, I'll give you a special discount!"

  Mu Yu Xin suddenly pursed her lips and smiled. She pointed to the box of rose-colored eyeshadow on the counter: "Have you used this before?"

  "Not yet," replied the shop assistant, who didn't know why Mu Yu Xin suddenly asked this, but still answered honestly with a slightly awkward expression.

  "Your eyeliner isn't drawn well," Mu Yu Xin's words suddenly took a turn.

  "Ah?" The shop assistant was taken aback, having never encountered a customer who paid attention to her makeup before. This made her feel somewhat embarrassed and flustered, and her face slightly flushed red.

  She thought to herself that today she must have encountered a picky customer, and was just thinking of making an explanatory apology, when Mu Yu Xing took out an eyeshadow box from her own bag. The salesperson saw that it was the same rose-colored four-color eyeshadow as the one on the counter, and the packaging was almost brand new.

  The salesgirl's heart suddenly became annoyed, and she realized that Mu Yu Xing was teasing her. Before she could reflect her annoyance on her face, Mu Yu Xing had already opened the eyeshadow box, hooked the salesgirl's chin with one finger, making her face turn towards herself, then said: "Close your eyes!"

  The salesgirl was stunned for a moment, and during that brief moment of distraction, Mu Yu Xing had already applied eyeshadow to her eyelids with the brush. The salesgirl reflexively closed her eyes.

  Mu Yu Xin's hands moved swiftly, and in less than a minute, she had helped the salesgirl finish her eye makeup: "Done!"

  The shop assistant slowly opened her eyes and saw that Mu Yu Xing had already placed a mirror from the counter in front of her. She looked into the mirror, and immediately widened her eyes in surprise.

  After Mu Yu Xing reapplied her makeup like this, the salesperson's face seemed to be refreshed.

  The makeup wasn't thick, but it made her eyes look much bigger and extremely bright and spirited. Her whole face was radiant with a lively spirit, compared to before, the whole person suddenly looked much more dazzling.

  "Your eyes are very pretty, if you make up your eyes well, your whole face will look much more beautiful," Mu Yu Xing covered the eyeshadow box.

  The salesperson looked at Mu Yu Xing with an unbelievable gaze and repeatedly said: "Thank you! Thank you!"

  "This packaging I just unpacked this morning, just tried it out, you're more suitable for it than me, here you go," Mu Yu Xin handed the eyeshadow box to the salesperson.

  The salesgirl was stunned again, originally intending to sell to Mu Yu Xing, but unexpectedly Mu Yu Xing gave her a box instead. She hastily handed the eyeshadow box back to Mu Yu Xing and said: "No need, no need, how can I take your things? You've already helped me with my makeup, I'm very grateful!"

  "Are you dissatisfied that I've already opened the box?" Mu Yu Xin didn't reach out to take it, and a look of displeasure appeared on her face.

  "No, no, how can I take your things, and this..." The salesperson wanted to say that the price was quite expensive, but Mu Yu Xin had already interrupted her.

  "You were just honest with me, so I'll give it to you. Cosmetics are most effective when used by the right person, aren't they?"

  "Right! Absolutely right!" The shop assistant's face showed a hint of shock.

  "I'll take these two. Can you help me wrap them up?" Mu Yu Xin pointed to a lip balm and a bottle of perfume with her finger.

  The salesperson's eyes widened in surprise, standing there dazed, until Mu Yu Xing took out a bank card from her bag. She then came to herself and quickly retrieved the lipstick and perfume that Mu Yu Xing wanted from under the counter, swiftly packing them into a gift bag and handing it over to Mu Yu Xing.

  Mù Yǔ Xīn took the packaged bag, swiped her card and glanced at Tián Nuǎn Yù, saying "Let's go", then turned around and left the Lanc?me counter, with Tián Nuǎn Yù following behind her.

  The salesperson glanced at the eyeshadow box Mu Yuexin gave her, then looked up and stared blankly at Mu Yuexin's back as she walked further and further away, spacing out for a long time...

  After leaving the Lanc?me counter, Mu Yu Xing walked over to the daily necessities counter and bought a few small travel items.

  Tomorrow, Mu Yu Xing's school is organizing a three-day study tour to Singapore. The accommodation and meals for the three days in Singapore will be arranged by the school, so she only needs to bring some personal items.

  They left the mall after buying everything, went straight down to the garage and sat in the car. Mu Yu Xing threw the bag in her hand onto the car seat, leaned her head against the back of the car seat, and muttered: "I'm so bored!"

  Tian Nuanyu finally understood that the little episode in front of the Lanc?me counter earlier was just Mu Yuxin's boring behavior.

  "Now where should we go?" Tian Nuoyu asked from the driver's seat.

  "It's no fun anywhere, let's just go home," Mu Yu Xing said listlessly.

  Tian Nuoyu didn't say another word and directly started the car heading back to Jingxue Mountain Villa.
