Chapter 179: But now… what she got in return were friends who’d talk about how awful she looked behind her back?! (2)

Chen Kexin suddenly felt a cool touch on her back. She was taken a little aback. When she looked up into the mirror, she saw Gu Shishi very focused on putting liquid lipstick onto a lip brush.

It was as though she didn’t hear a word coming from the outside.

“Aren’t you upset?” Chen Kexin asked again.

“Huh?” Gu Shishi squinted her eyes as she was still carefully finishing up the plum blossom on her back.

“What they’ve said about you. Aren’t you upset?” Chen Kexin couldn’t help but feel much calmer from Gu Shishi ’s nonchalant look.

She felt the same when she watched Gu Shishi streamed. She only went into Gu Shishi’s channel for the fun of it the very first time, but she was immediately attracted by the way she painted.

It was almost as though all of her annoyance had gone away as the ink spread.

It seemed that Gu Shishi had the natural ability to calm others.

Gu Shishi’s hand never stopped. Her lips moved a little, and then they curled.

“So what if I am angry? What a waste of my time if I had dashed out and started a fight with them. My life is very valuable. I don’t have that much time to waste.”

If it wasn’t for her need to collect fondness, she had zero interest in this swimsuit party.

“And it’s even more worthless to get angry at them.” If I get sick… my healthy bar would drop very quickly.

Chen Kexin was shocked by her wordGu Shishi, but they oddly made sense.

She could make upward of 1B yuan a month from her paintings. Fighting with these young missus with zero skills was, indeed, a waste of her time.

As her mind wandered, Chen Kexin suddenly had a beautiful mental picture of Gu Shishi chatting away with her grandmother. She felt that Gu Shishi would get along better with the older generations?

…. How scary was that?!

“Okay, done.”

Gu Shishi patted her on her shoulder as all sorts of random thoughts crossed Chen Kexin’s mind.

Gu Shishi gestured for Chen Kexin to turn around and look into the mirror.

Chen Kexin was a little surprised. She was done already?

She turned slightly but wasn’t able to see much. Chen Kexin picked up the vanity mirror sitting on the table and aimed it at her back.

Then, she saw her back through the lighted vanity mirror on the table.

Just one look and Chen Kexin’s mind exploded.

Gorgeous…!

When plum flowers bloom, there are no leaves.

Meaning, there was only a branch with red, blossoming, and fiery-looking flowers on her back. They were petite and rounded, reserved and calm, in groups of 2-3 flowers. They were bright and lively!

And this bright and stunning red plum blossom, being painted on her clean and smooth back, looked like it had grown out gracefully in the snow.

Along with her backless swimsuit today, it had given her an added charm.

Earlier, the others were making fun of how she wasn’t suitable for a backless swimsuit. Most likely because her bone structures weren’t pretty enough or that she has more fat that she should have on her back. Now that the red plum blossoms had become the focal point on her back and brought out how pale she was, it had accomplished hiding her weakness while emphasizing her strength.

In addition, antique style painting like this had always been her favorite.

She enjoyed collecting Han dynasty outfits normally but would only wear them when she was home.

She had tried painting floral patterns on her forehead before and had challenged plum blossom in the past. Unfortunately, she just wasn’t talented enough to pull that off.

But the ones that Gu Shishi drew today were simply too pretty!

Chen Kexin really wanted to go home and try on her Han ruqun with gold threads. Perhaps, Gu Shishi would be willing to help her paint something on her forehead as well.

“How does it look?”

Gu Shishi, too, looked into the mirror.

“It’s awesome! It’s beautiful!” said Chen Kexin definitively.

All these plum blossoms spread outward around her pimples and making her prettier than she was before.

After the reassurance from Chen Kexin, Gu Shishi nodded and put the pen away. She turned to change into her own swimsuit.
