The next day, Tang Xiaoyu, who usually liked to sleep in, surprisingly woke up early and even roused Pei Ge from slumber.
“Wake up, Ge Ge. Quickly wake up.”
Pei Ge, who was having a sumptuous meal in her dream, dazedly opened her eyes at her call and unhappily muttered, “For what? I still want to sleep.”
“Stop sleeping already. Quickly get up and prepare!” Tang Xiaoyu smacked her arm when she noticed that the half-awake Pei Ge was about to go back to sleep.
“Sss!” She was jolted awake by Tang Xiaoyu’s smack.
“Xiaoyu, what was that for?! Why did you hit me?!” She opened a pair of drowsy eyes and glared irately at her best friend.
“Hurry and get up! I will help you prepare for your date!” Tang Xiaoyu excitedly rushed her.
“...” At this, she was speechless for a moment before bellowing, “Oh, please! Big Mistress Tang, my meeting with Qimo is at noon, and it should only be 7 AM right now!”
“That is exactly why we should start dressing you up now. Don’t you know that a woman needs at least three hours to prepare before going on a date?” Tang Xiaoyu pulled her up by the hands and smiled.
Hearing this, she could only depressingly mutter, “Isn’t it just a date with a gay guy?”
“Nonsense! Who said you’re getting ready for your date with a homosexual man?!” It was her best friend’s turn to glare daggers at her.
All her sleepiness dispersed at this.
With a bitter look, she thought gloomily, Who else am I going on a date with if not that gay guy, then?
“You are clearly going on a date with me!” Tang Xiaoyu smiled bewitchingly, raised her bosom friend’s chin with one finger, and then proclaimed rather haughtily, “Darling, aren’t you going to quickly get ready for my sake?”
“...” Pei Ge’s mouth twitched and she spat, “Scram!”
Her brain was finally functioning properly after such a performance.
She quickly cleaned herself in the washroom, returned to her bedroom, and started selecting her clothes.
She moved to reach for her preferred black outer coat in the wardrobe, but Tang Xiaoyu resolutely slapped her hand away before she could even graze the fabric.
Retracting the hand her best friend had smacked, she looked at her unhappily and grumbled, “What is it now?”
“How can you wear such dull colors on a date?”
Exasperatedly asking this, Tang Xiaoyu started choosing clothes for her.
She pushed her aside and, in a matter of minutes, made a mess of her originally neatly folded clothes.
Pei Ge could only sigh in resignation beside her.
Sigh... It’s just a pretend date. Is there even a need to take it this seriously?
“Alright, you’ll wear this outfit today!” Tang Xiaoyu pushed some clothes to her.
She lowered her head and eyed the clothes.
Hm? Isn’t this the one gifted to me by Lily? Looks like my best friend has great fashion sense.
Silently changing into the pink coat, she reflexively slung on her arm the handbag also given by Lily.
“Hmm, not bad! Your fashion sense has quite an improvement!” her best friend praised when she saw the bag Pei Ge had taken out.
Er... There’s actually this job called fashion stylist right now, she sheepishly said to herself.
“Alright, alright. Let’s do your makeup now!” Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes shone with mischievousness as she eyed her.
“...” Noticing her gaze, she was suddenly reminded of Tang Xiaoyu’s ardor at playing with barbie dolls when they were younger.
Don’t tell me she’s treating me like a doll right now?
Time quickly ticked by as Tang Xiaoyu did her makeup and hair.
Pei Ge looked at her face, which was getting fairer, tenderer, and more exquisite with each stroke of the brush, in the mirror and uncontrollably recalled the photograph from a few days ago.
She stared at her face. Her features were actually still the same, except that her excess flesh was concealing them.
If I slim down... I will look quite beautiful, right? she secretly asked herself.
“Okay, Ge Ge, look; how is it? My makeup skills are pretty decent, right?”
Once the last stray strand of hair was placed, her best friend proudly surveyed her finished look in the mirror.
“Mhm, it’s amazing. You already qualify to be a stylist,” she smiled at her through the mirror and sincerely praised.
Although the makeup and hairstyle were not done as well as when Lily did them, they were still quite beautiful.
“Since we are all done, let’s go!” her best friend nodded in satisfaction and happily declared.
“Huh? Go off now?” She blinked in surprise. “Isn’t it still a little too early?”
“What early?! It’s already 11 AM!” Tang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at her and then faced her wristwatch to Pei Ge.
The moment she saw the time, she exclaimed in shock, “Ehh?! It’s actually already 11 AM.”
How did time pass by so quickly? Three hours are gone in a flash...
“I told you earlier that a woman needs at least three hours to get ready for a date!
“Alright, alright. We should leave now to scout the area!”
Tang Xiaoyu pulled her out of the bedroom.
“Auntie, I am going on a date with Ge Ge! You can eat without us; we will be back to accompany you tonight!” Her best friend smilingly informed Zhang Manhua, who was watching TV, when they passed by the living room on their way out.
“Okay, you guys have fun and don’t feel the need to rush back!”
The pair quickly departed from home under Zhang Manhua’s affectionate gaze.
They flagged down a taxi at the bus stop and quickly reached their destination under Tang Xiaoyu’s non-stop questioning.
Alighting from the cab, her best friend’s eyes lit up when they were greeted by a sophisticated-looking, towering building.
The skyscraper had a dense crowd. One could tell with a glance that this was the center of the downtown area.
“This Wen guy seems to be quite rich. To have a lunch date with you here, he will have to spend at least up to four digits!” the very knowledgeable Tang Xiaoyu remarked, adding, “It’s such a pity that he’s gay.”
