Chapter 16: Saying one thing but meaning another, even acting haughty!

As soon as Qi Yun entered, he saw Lian Qingxue lying on a bed with a young lady in white holding an instrument and pointing it at her face.

It seemed to be a machine that magnified the pores on her face.

Qi Yun also lay on another bed beside them.

Perhaps afraid that they would get bored, the young lady doing the examination asked, "Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Who, who is his girlfriend..." Upon hearing this, Lian Qingxue quickly denied it but looked somewhat unsure of herself.

There was a mirror diagonally across from Qi Yun where he could clearly see her expression. He saw Lian Qingxue looking at him furtively with some guilt mixed with defiance in her eyes.

"No way? I think you two are very compatible!" The young lady said in a tone that seemed to see through everything.

Lian Qingxue replied hesitantly: "No..."

In the mirror, Qi Yun couldn't help but smile when he saw how she struggled to suppress her grin.

After a while, the young lady examining Qi Yun suddenly exclaimed: "Little brother! Your skin is too good! Even under high magnification there are no blemishes!"

"Really? This little sister's skin is also very good!"

The young lady examining Lian Qingxue leaned over to look at Qi Yun's face: "It's true! So envious!"

The two of them began enthusiastically studying Qi Yun's face and even touched it occasionally. After more than ten minutes had passed, they reluctantly finished their examinations.

Before getting up from his bed, Qi Yun felt something heavy pressing down on him. When he looked over he saw Lian Qingxue kneeling half-heartedly on top of him staring left and right at his face for quite some time before reaching out with an evil hand to pinch both sides of his cheeks...

"Sooooo fun to touch!"

"Do you know that men and women are different?"

"You're not shy at all!"

Lian Qingxue kept muttering. Qi Yun couldn't help but laugh.

"Laugh! You're still laughing!"

"They are professional employees who are just curious about people's skin."

"Why don't you hide from them? Letting them touch you like this?"

"Why do you care about me? We're not boyfriend and girlfriend..." Qi Yun said with a smile.

"Eh!" Lian Qingxue's eyes rolled around, unsure of what to say.

"What right do you have to control me?"

"I...I'm controlling you on behalf of Auntie! I'm afraid that the female hooligans in society will take advantage of you!"

"Oh?"

"What 'oh'? I'll just control you, so what?" Lian Qingxue had an expression that said she wouldn't listen to reason.

"Okay, I'll only let you touch me then."

"That's more like it...but I don't want to touch anymore!" With her head held high, Lian Qingxue walked out of the room.

...

Lian Qingxue's skin condition is very good.

It's just that maybe she hasn't been getting enough nutrition for many years, which makes her hair dry and her skin a bit dehydrated.

Simple care is all that is needed.

When Qi Yun heard this examination result, he was a little disappointed in his heart.

After all, simple means cheap.

And Qi Yun likes expensive things.

Sure enough, when it came time to pay, including the hair and face treatment, it only cost three or four hundred yuan.

Far less than Qi Yun's expectations.

After paying the bill, Lian Qingxue went upstairs.

Qi Yun sat outside and chatted with the girl who had done the examination for him before. It wasn't boring at all.

After a while...

"Qi Yun?"

Lian Qingxue's voice came from upstairs.

Qi Yun looked up and saw a scene he would never forget in his life: Lian Qingxue's thick bangs had been thinned out into air bangs.

Her previously somewhat dry hair was now soft and scattered over her shoulders, no longer able to hide her peerless beauty that had been hidden away before.

Qi Yun stared at Lian Qingxue for a long time without coming back to reality.

He knew of Lian Qingxue's beauty but didn't know that 18-year-old Lian Qingxue was even more beautiful than he imagined.

This kind of Lian Qingxue was something he hadn't seen in his past life either.

Perhaps even Lian Qingxue herself had never seen it before either.

In his past life when she was eighteen years old, she still faced hardships in life; perhaps enduring poverty or self-doubt or even hunger. Although she would later achieve success and wealth - everything she once lacked - but she could never go back to being eighteen and save her humble self.

She could only forever miss out on the best years of her life.

And all of this was changed by Qi Yun, witnessed by Qi Yun.

"Is it pretty?"

Lian Qingxue asked nervously with infinite trepidation in her eyes.

Qi Yun smiled: "Lian Qingxue, I can tell you that the luckiest thing in my life is being able to see your beauty like this."

At this point, the system's prompt sounded again.

"Congratulations host, achievement completed - Breaking Out Of The Cocoon."

"Congratulations host for obtaining a reward - Investment Target Reminder Card: When there are investment targets above excellent level around the host, they will be reminded. Number of uses: one time!"
