Girls are probably born without the ability to resist such things. Even Ji Mingyue’s eyes glowed when she saw them, even though she had experienced so much at a young age and had lost her girlishness.
The box was filled with skincare products that Gu Qingyao had prepared for Ji Mingyue. There were all kinds of bottles and jars, all exquisitely packaged. Some of them were produced by her cousin’s company, and some were from other major brands. She had made a few of them herself.
Besides skincare products, there was also makeup.
“This… how do I use these?” Ji Mingyue had never seen such things before.
Gu Qingyao was amused. “There is a method in using such things. It’s winter now! I’ve mainly prepared moisturizers for you. After you apply them, your skin will stay hydrated all day instead of drying out. Here, I’ll teach you how to use them.”
When girls discuss make-up, they have an immense number of things to say. Even a girl who is completely ignorant of such things will manage to find a sentence or two, much less Gu Qingyao, who has spent a lot of time analyzing such things.
Ji Mingyue heard the professional terms falling from Gu Qingyao’s mouth and looked at her pretty face. But what she envied the most was Gu Qingyao’s energy and spirit.
Ji Mingyue silently encouraged herself. She must lead a better life and be more self-confident. She must not just waste her life.
After she used the skincare products, Gu Qingyao introduced her to makeup and put on some light makeup for her.
Ji Mingyue was pretty and had good skin. After Gu Qingyao spent so long talking to her, she cheered up and grew brighter. With the makeup, she looked even prettier!
“How does it look? Pretty, right!”
Ji Mingyue looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was shocked!
“My… My God, is that really me?”
“Of course! It’s still you! But you’ve put on makeup to hide your flaws and highlight your strengths, so your beauty is even more apparent. Oh, I’ve also brought you some clothes. I’ll get them for you.”
As Gu Qingyao spoke, she took the clothes that she had chosen for Ji Mingyue from the closet.
Actually, how could her luggage possibly hold so much? She had so many elders, family members and teachers. If Gu Qingyao brought gifts for all of them, she could never have brought it over. So many of their presents were very small, not like clothes and shoes which took up a lot of space.
She had brought more items out for convenience. She had even especially shipped some luggage from overseas. Even so, there was not enough to go around.
Although there was plenty of room in her interspace, if she did not bring back a substantial amount of luggage, her family would think it odd when she took so many things out.
Today, she saw that Ji Mingyue was in a bad mood and rather listless, so she especially gave her a makeover.
Girls like to dress up when they are in a bad mood. With a little makeup, they look prettier and feel happier.
Ji Mingyue and her were about the same size, but Ji Mingyue was slightly shorter. That did not matter much with winter clothes.
Gu Qingyao selected a new set of clothes that she had not worn before and gave them to Ji Mingyue.
It was a woolen coat, with a sweater and a wool skirt. There was a little pair of boots to go with it.
In later times, an outfit like that was quite ordinary, but at the moment, it was considered very fashionable!
The moment Ji Mingyue saw such pretty clothes with such lovely texture, she knew that they must be expensive. The problem was that such clothes were not even available even if one had the money.
“This… this is too expensive. I…”
“Oh, it’s just an outfit. Why stand on ceremony with me. We’ll always be friends. Oh, I’m not too familiar with the capital. We must help each other in the future!”
“Also…” Gu Qingyao leaned closer and said temptingly, “Can you bear to refuse such pretty clothes?”
Ji Mingyue: …
She could not!
