Chapter 281: Bright Enough to Blind
Qi Sheng’s attempt to have Ning Shu wash her face failed. He stared at her for a few moments, then said, “Since you’re not willing, then let’s just forget it. I heard that there were a lot of beautiful lanterns though.”
Ning Shu had no interest in lanterns and it must be known that those who became attentive all of a sudden were either traitors or thieves.
Her goal was to avoid being pushed down by Qi Sheng, reject his sugarcoated attacks, and wait for his true love to show up.
Ning Shu’s days in the Qi Residence was very comfortable. Qi Sheng was an imperial merchant so he had plenty of money. Food, clothing, and housing was of the best quality. Even the servants received pretty good quality food and clothing.
One night, Qi Sheng suddenly ran to Ning Shu’s room. Yue Lan stared at him warily and demanded, “What are you doing here!? Are you trying to do something to my miss?”
Meanwhile, Ning Shu asked with a smile, “Young Master, do you have instructions for this servant?”
“There’s a lantern festival tonight. I need a maid to accompany me, so come with me.” Qi Sheng looked at Ning Shu with gentle anticipation in his eyes. It made people feel that it would be cruel to reject him.
So Ning Shu replied, “Young Master, this servant will go.”
“Alright, then go get ready. I’ll wait for you outside.” Qi Sheng smiled and walked out.
Yue Lan pulled a face at Qi Sheng’s back, then she asked, “Miss, are you really going to go? Bring this servant along as well. That guy clearly has bad intentions!”
Ning Shu said ‘en’ and started putting on makeup. After that, she got changed.
Yue Lan stared with bulging eyes at Ning Shu. Her voice trembled as she asked, “Miss, why do you insist on doing this to yourself?”
Ning Shu once again just brushed off Yue Lan’s comments and headed towards the courtyard. Qi Sheng was currently facing a tree and stood there with a elegant, model-like pose.
Ning Shu stopped behind him and said bashfully, “Young Master, this servant is ready.”
Qi Sheng turned around to look at Ning Shu and his eyes widened in shock. He couldn’t get any words out for a long time. Ning Shu blinked her dark circles of two eyes and continued shyly, “Young Master, how does this servant look?”
Qi Sheng swallowed hard. His expression practically cracked as he forced out the words, “Your sense of beauty is truly unique.”
Her eyes were lined thickly in a round circle, her face was covered with powder, and her lips were bright red. That wasn’t the end though. She had even paired a bright red upper garment with a bright green skirt.
Qi Sheng didn’t know how to even describe this sight. Ning Shu felt very refreshed when she saw that Qi Sheng looked as if his eyes had been defiled. Get ready to be disgusted to death!
Her eyes were extremely black in a wonderful replication of panda eyes and this tacky combination of bright red and bright green was bright enough to blind.
She felt that this outfit was perfect!
Qi Sheng was a little annoyed and it showed slightly in his tone. “Didn’t I already say that being natural is the most beautiful? Why do you insist on putting on so much makeup? Every single person is unique, why are you so afraid to face yourself?”
“Listen to me and go wash that off your face.” Qi Sheng’s tone returned to being very sincere. “You’re my servant, no one in this city would dare to laugh at you.”
Ning Shu: …
He was so fake. He clearly felt that her current appearance would cause him to lose face, yet he insisted on twisting it around and making it seem like he was encouraging her to rebuild her self-confidence.
Ning Shu said ‘oh,’ then answered, “This servant doesn’t want to go later. Without makeup, this servant can’t live. This servant hopes that Young Master can understand.”
“Ding, trauma points +5.” 2333’s voice appeared in her head.
