Fatty said, “Nan Feng, I promise you, no matter what the conditions, as long as I can become fair and tender, even if I have to climb the blade mountain or plunge into the sea of fire.”
Aqiu joked, “If you go through the blade mountain and sea of fire, wouldn’t you become uglier?”
Fatty started hitting Aqiu, who dodged swiftly.
Nan Feng said helplessly, “Alright, stop fooling around. I can’t think of anything that I need your help with right now. When I do, I’ll let you know.”
“Okay, okay,” Fatty agreed, “Let’s go now.”
Just as the three were about to leave, Aqiu suddenly remembered Zhou Dongdong standing behind her.
Aqiu suddenly looked awkward.
There must be a misunderstanding between Zhou Dongdong and Nan Feng, it wouldn’t be good for the two to be together now.
Just as Aqiu didn’t know what to do, Zhou Dongdong picked up his shoe and ran off, disappearing in no time.
“…” Aqiu was puzzled.
…
They arrived at Nan Feng’s house.
Nan Feng took out the jar she used to store the skin-whitening magical face masks, poured some into two small bottles, one for Aqiu and one for Fatty, saying, “Here you go, this is my secret recipe.”
Fatty smelled it, and then exclaimed, “This thing is both good-looking and aromatic, isn’t it meant to be eaten?”
“No, this is a face mask. Wash your face clean before bed, then apply this evenly on your face. After fifteen minutes, wash your face again.”
“Is it that simple?” asked Aqiu.
“Yes, it’s that simple. Oh, you can also use this facial cleanser when washing your face.”
Fatty smelled the cleanser, “I smell cucumber and wax gourd.”
“Little foodie, you can’t hide it. It really is made with cucumber and wax gourd. Just apply some on your face when washing it, lather it up, use it twice a day. If it works, I’ll give you another bottle next time, remember not to throw away this bottle, I picked these up in town.”
“Okay, sure,” Fatty promised.
Aqiu also said, “I promise not to throw it away. If it works, can you give me some more?”
Nan Feng laughed and said, “Next time, I’ll have to charge, thirty Wen a box.”
“Hump, you might as well rob,” Fatty punched Nan Feng.
Shortly after, Fatty touched her cheek and daydreamed, saying, “Nan Feng, you became a great beauty after using these two items. Do you think I will also become a beauty after using them? The men from the neighboring village should all look at me in the next mountain song competition, right?”
Aqiu slapped Fatty’s butt, “Next time? By the next mountain song competition, you’ll probably be married.”
“Hump, who says so.”
“Isn’t there a butcher’s son from the next village who likes you? He’s planning to propose.”
“I don’t like that butcher’s son. He’s as thin as a bean sprout, he’ll squish easily.”
Aqiu said, “Hump, it’s not you squishing him. It’s him squishing you, but he can’t squeeze you to death.”
“Aqiu, you devil!”
The two began to play and joke again, while Nan Feng could only watch and laugh silently.
The girls were chattering happily in the house, and Nan Quanyou, who was in the courtyard, couldn’t help but feel happy.
Since her brother-in-law left, Nan Feng hadn’t smiled much. She looked fine on the surface, but nobody knew how much she was suffering inside.
It was when he bumped into Aqiu in the vegetable field in the morning that he asked her to keep Nan Feng company when she has time.
Unexpectedly, Aqiu was quite righteous. She said yes and came right away.
