The Effects

Qin Qing had been looking at the sky in melancholy.

She did not even feel like moving. Did she make a mistake? Did Chen Ming bat for the other team? 

Just as she was sighing, a knock on the door pulled her back from her thoughts.

After hearing that, she sorted out her emotions and opened the door for Chen Ming.

As soon as she opened the door, Qin Qing noticed that Chen Ming was holding a red bottle without a logo in his hand.

It seemed like... 

Was that a skincare or cosmetic product?

While she was feeling puzzled, Chen Ming passed the red bottle to her and explained, "Qin Qing, this is a high-end whitening cream. It's very effective. Try it out."

High-end whitening cream?

The words that came out of Chen Ming's mouth, coupled with the ordinary-looking red bottle, made Qin Qing feel that Chen Ming had been scammed.

How was this considered a high-end product? Was the genius Chen Ming taken for a ride?

She secretly decided that in order to prevent more people from being scammed, she would report whoever sold him this bottle to the authorities.

However, when Qin Qing lowered her eyes to look at the red bottle, a warm current still flowed through her heart. Although the whitening cream itself was of questionable quality and origins, it still represented Chen Ming's kind intentions. It was a gift from him, so how could Qin Qing reject it?

Finally, Qin Qing smiled and nodded. 

"Thank you. I'll try it out now. If it works well, you have to prepare a few more bottles for me."

Seeing that Qin Qing had agreed to try it out, Chen Ming's eyes flickered.

"Sure thing!"

It was time for a professional review!

When Chen Ming left Qin Qing's room, Qin Qing toyed around with the bottle in her hand.

For some reason, Qin Qing felt that it both looked and felt like the bottle she had just thrown at Chen Ming. However, she chalked it off to being a coincidence.

Qin Qing walked over to the mirror unhurriedly and began to carefully examine the bottle.

She opened the bottle, and an exquisite fragrance spread out.

Qin Qing was a little surprised. Could the current knock-off skincare products produce such an exquisite fragrance?

She dug out some of the whitening cream with her fingertips and stopped for a moment. Then, she made up her mind. Since Chen Ming was the one who had given it to her, even if it ruined her face, she had to try it. She then applied it on her face.

However, when the cream was evenly applied on her face, the expected pain and itchiness did not emerge. Instead, the cold cream made Qin Qing feel comfortable.

Qin Qing was shocked.

She could not help but touch her face.

The effect of this knock-off whitening cream was unexpected. As soon as she finished applying it, Qin Qing felt that her skin had become moist and smooth.

The fragrance it exuded was also very pleasing. 

Qin Qing suddenly felt that this skincare product was pretty good.

It seemed that Chen Ming had not been scammed after all, and whoever had sold this to him was legit. 

…

The next morning, while Chen Ming was still sleeping, there was a knock on the door.

If one listened carefully, one could sense the excitement from Qin Qing's slightly frantic knocking. 

However, Chen Ming was half-awake and he did not notice this.

Chen Ming fixed his messy hair, and then forced his eyes open. After tidying his clothes, he got up and opened the door for Qin Qing.

Qin Qing was in high spirits. As soon as Chen Ming opened the door, she smiled excitedly. "Chen Ming, your whitening cream is amazing!"

"After I applied the cream, my skin became so smooth and moist. It's the most perfect whitening cream I've ever used."

"I love it! This whitening cream is divine! At first, I thought that this was a third-rate product! But I changed my mind after using it! My face is so white and tender now. It feels like I'm eighteen again!"

"..."

Qin Qing was so excited that she kept talking about the effects of the whitening cream.

Seeing that Qin Qing was here to show him the effects of the whitening cream, Chen Ming snapped to his senses and started to pay attention.

He rubbed his eyes in a hurry, eager to know what the final outcome was. Was it truly worthy of causing a sensation in the market and opening up a new business path for him?

When he began to examine Qin Qing's skin, he felt that Qin Qing's skin, which had supposedly changed a lot, was the same as yesterday from his perspective.

He did not even notice that her skin had become whiter. He blinked and looked closely, but he really could not see the difference.

Could it be that the effect of the system's new product was not that good? Chen Ming was confused.

"Chen Ming?" Qin Qing called his name.

Chen Ming's eyes moved away from Qin Qing's face. He said what he was thinking awkwardly, "About this... Maybe I don't understand skincare, but… is there a difference?"

"You think there's no difference?" Qin Qing responded and stepped forward with a smile.

Before Chen Ming could react, Qin Qing had already moved closer to him.

The distance between them was getting closer and closer.

One meter, half a meter, a dozen centimeters.

When they were that close, he could smell the fragrance of her rose perfume clearly.

Chen Ming, who had not realized what Qin Qing was about to do, stood rooted to the ground. He was at a loss.

Was she getting closer so that he could take a better look?

However… this was a little too close!

Before Chen Ming realized what was going to happen next, Qin Qing's smooth and tender face gently made contact with the side of Chen Ming's face.

A soft, supple feeling… 

Chen Ming suddenly felt an electric shock run through his body, and a current ran down his spine.

His ears quickly turned red, and his face also started changing color.

Qin Qing's face only touched his face for a second or two, like a dragonfly touching the water.

When she moved her face away, took half a step back, and looked up again, she felt a little shy.

Qin Qing adjusted her mental state and said, "The effect is not bad, right? it's just that you're a man and don't understand the magical effects of this whitening cream. Now that you've experienced it for yourself, you should definitely be able to tell," Qin Qing said with a smile.

Chen Ming only recovered from his shock after a long while.

Unconsciously, he touched the place where Qin Qing's cheek had touched his. As soon as he touched it, he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

Realizing that Qin Qing was talking to him, Chen Ming finally came back to his senses.

He nodded in shock.

Chen Ming's reaction was within Qin Qing's expectations. She helplessly patted Chen Ming, who had been single since he was born, and said slowly, "Where is this product from? I'm buying it no matter how expensive it is! I've been using makeup and skincare products for many years, but this is the first time I've used such a good one."

"Chen Ming, don't try to hide it. Tell me, which company did you buy it from?"

Qin Qing smiled and looked at Chen Ming with interest.

At this moment, she could not wait to know the answer.

After that, Chen Ming raised his eyebrows.

So Qin Qing thought that this was a product he bought…

If she knew that this whitening cream had actually been developed by him, how would she react?
