Volume 2: Memories of Yonghui (Part 1) Chapter 11 Beauty and ugliness are fleeting

The playful duo from Wu Cheng suddenly thought of the handsome young man in blue clothes in the bamboo house.
I wonder if Mo Yi, who had already returned to the bamboo house and was taking a nap peacefully, enjoying the rare comfort and tranquility, would feel a chill down his spine at this moment, thinking that he was being plotted against innocently somewhere.
In the eyes of Huan Shu and Shen Chenyu, Mo Yi and Yao Ji were a perfect match made in heaven no matter how you looked at them. But seeing the hint of concern inadvertently revealed in the boy's eyes and his unabashed request to room with the girl that day, and the way the girl would occasionally steal glances at the boy after waking up, they knew that these two had a chance!
Although the two parties involved are still very ignorant, or they are still unaware of the strange feelings in their hearts.
But after all, a bystander sees more clearly. Huan Shu and Shen Chenyu have seen countless people, so this little ambiguity cannot be hidden from their eyes.
Mo Yi's face was too handsome, and his facial features were even more delicate than those of Yao Ji, who was born a woman. However, it didn't matter... Although appearance was innate, there were still ways to remedy it...
At this moment, Shen Chenyu and Huan Shu smiled at each other, showing each other an expression of understanding, and then they both reached out their hands tacitly, and dragged Yao Ji away without saying anything...
Where did he go? Of course, it was the place with the faint smell of rouge and powder...
The so-called beauty is only 30% appearance and 70% dressing. Although the two young masters and young ladies of the Wucheng family are well aware of this, their taste is really not flattering, or in other words, it is completely contrary to the majority of people in this world...
So, when Yao Ji, who had been dressed up beautifully by them, was brought back to the bamboo house in confusion, Mo Yi was petrified in an instant.
This, this, where did this monster come from?
Mo Yi, who always thought he was very calm and composed, was frightened at this moment and almost fell off the bamboo stool where he was meditating.
If it weren't for the familiar figure and clothes of the woman in front of him
The pretty face, which was as big as a palm, was now covered with a thick layer of lead powder, which was so thick that it looked like a pale mask. The originally delicate willow-shaped eyebrows were painted into two thick and domineering s-shaped eyebrows by a dark blue paint. The pale lips were smeared with a blood-like substance, which looked like a cleft lip. What was the colorful sticker on the forehead? It seemed to be a very strange pattern... And not only on the forehead, but also on both sides of the cheeks, turning the girl's originally plain face into a mask for a drama.
The image of the black-faced woman from the Kongming tribe suddenly flashed through Mo Yi's mind, and he thought to himself, this is much weirder than the dress of the Kongming tribe members.
Moving his eyes upwards, he saw what looked like feces, layers upon layers of spiral patterns on his head, something that should be called hair...
Mo Yi's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and his lips trembled slightly. He tried hard to suppress the urge to burst out laughing, but his face turned blue. He couldn't even utter a complete sentence, and could only repeat in a trembling voice: "This, this, this, this is..."
The two unromantic duo saw Mo Yi's surprised look at this time, but misinterpreted it as something else. They looked at each other and felt very proud, thinking that their hard work was not in vain, as this was the most popular facial makeup in Wucheng now.
In order to create momentum for the little girl this time , the two of them spent a huge amount of money on the cosmetics shop in Yonghui City. Just that thick box of lead powder was worth fifty taels of silver!
However, although the store has always claimed that their lead powder is the best product available in Yonghui City, the two young men and women from the aristocratic families of Wucheng were still not satisfied. In the end, they smeared the entire box of lead powder on Yao Ji's face, and only then did the eldest lady of the Shen family reluctantly nod her head slightly.
Although it didn't achieve the imagined effect of skin as white as snow, it was still okay.
And the heroic splayed eyebrows were the work of Miss Shen with great effort! This is the most popular and fashionable eyebrow shape in Wucheng nowadays. It looks heroic at first glance, and it is the finishing touch for this cute little girl.
Look at that bright red cherry mouth. The original lip shape is deliberately covered up with thick lead powder, and then three dots of gorgeous lip balm are meticulously applied in the center, interpreting the perfect cherry mouth so vividly!
Not to mention the exquisite flowers on her forehead and cheeks, in their eyes, Yao Ji's appearance was simply stunning, incomparable, no wonder the ignorant young man was stunned and couldn't even utter a complete sentence. The two of them thought, see, it's done, it's such a simple thing! The young man must be full of admiration for Yao Ji at this time, and he can't wait to marry her home.
And Yao Ji, the innocent and pitiful Yao Ji, seemed to have read something in Mo Yi's eyes that was different from what she had imagined, but she was so naive that she did not think about it too much. Perhaps she was grateful to Brother Huanshu and Sister Chenyu from the bottom of her heart.
Although I don't know why they suddenly had the idea of dressing themselves up in Yonghui City, for girls of fifteen or sixteen, they would naturally not object if they heard that it could make them more beautiful.
Besides, these two are from famous families, and they are well-informed. It is right to leave everything to them! Perhaps in Yao Ji's subconscious mind, she also secretly envied the peerless beauty of the woman in green.
It's a pity that it is this complete and unreserved trust that has led to today's tragedy...
After Huanshu and Shen Chenyu had been busy for most of the day, they saw that the sun was setting and it was getting late, so they didn't even let Yao Ji take a look at herself in the bronze mirror, but dragged it back to the bamboo house, thinking that they would make the handsome young man in the bamboo house look ashamed of themselves.
Look, the effect is amazing. It has completely captivated the young man and he can’t even utter a complete sentence!
The eldest son of the Huan family and the eldest daughter of the Shen family were very satisfied with Mo Yi's current reaction. Huan Shu's face was shaking, and his eyes, which had been narrowed into a slit, were now deeply sunken into his eyelids and eye bags. Shen Chenyu raised her orchid finger and proudly took out a handkerchief from her bosom to cover her mouth and snickered, although they had no idea that they had misunderstood.
Finally, after Mo Yi silently recited the word "忍" one hundred and twenty times in his heart , he was finally defeated: "Hahahahahahahaha, where did this female ghost come from..." He covered his stomach and laughed breathlessly: "What are you guys playing at? You think you can scare me by dressing like this? You underestimate me too much!"
As soon as these words came out, the other three people in the room were petrified...
What is going on here? Why is this completely different from what I expected? Did I hear it wrong? Am I hallucinating?
"Oh my god, where did this guy just come from when he ate someone? What is this? Is this the third level? A test of courage?"
Looking carefully, a strange man in black was walking in slowly from outside. He walked up to Yao Ji with a look of horror on his face, and looked at Yao Ji's face carefully with curiosity, but the words that came out of his mouth were very worthy of a beating!
At least the two people from Wucheng don't like him!
There was a flash of cold light in the eyes of the two people. The eldest son of the Huan family and the eldest daughter of the Shen family attacked at the same time, wanting to teach him a little lesson!
Miss Shen's "Silk Cloth" and the eldest son of Huan's "Gas Fist" attacked the man in black from different directions almost at the same time!
However, the tall and thin body of the man in black did not move at all, like a javelin. He just drew circles with his left finger and pushed out with his right hand softly!
The next moment, he discovered that the purple "silk" of the eldest lady of the Shen family had turned into something soft and round on the other party's fingertips, and it no longer had half the power it had when it tied up the young master in plain clothes!
The fist of the eldest son of the Huan family was clamped in the palm of the opponent's hand by the five fingers in an instant. The powerful "Gas Fist" was annihilated into nothingness by the moving five fingers before it could exert its power.
At this moment, Mo Yi's right hand behind his back moved slightly, and the cold iron short blade that had been unsheathed when the other party appeared was ready to go...
But the man in black didn't care at all about the sudden attack from the two men. He calmly flicked his left finger and gently waved his right hand, and swatted Huan Shu and Shen Chenyu away like flies!
If Yao Ji hadn't moved both hands at once in an instant, creating an elastic oval barrier to protect the two people, they would be in a very miserable state now.
Yao Ji thought to herself that this man's attack was truly ruthless. His seemingly light and effortless blow actually contained an incomparable amount of strength. However, she had subconsciously forgotten that it was the two men from Wu Cheng who started the attack first. Perhaps it was her preconceived notion that made her subconsciously want to protect these two men.
Seeing that although the Wu Cheng duo was protected by his barrier, they still suffered a small loss and both fell on their backs, he couldn't help but glare at the man in black!
The man in black, who had just easily neutralized the attacks of Wu Cheng and the other man, acted as if nothing had happened. He just shouted at Yao Ji in an exaggerated manner: "Don't! Don't glare at me. You can even punch me. Don't glare at me. If you glare at me like this, I will have nightmares at night!"
Yao Ji was so angry that she remembered what Mo Yi had said at the end. Comparing this person's reaction, she seemed to understand something in an instant. She screamed, covered her face and ran out...
