Sheng Ning’an had no interest in entering the entertainment industry; the Sheng family’s wealth was more than enough to support her without any concerns for food or clothing for a lifetime.
She stood under the shade of a tree and waited for a while before she saw Tian Yu and her group holding military training uniforms coming out.
Upon seeing her, they immediately walked over and said, "When did you get here?"
Sheng Ning’an replied, "Just a little while ago. I thought I would have to wait in line for a long time, but then you sent me a message. Thanks!" Without their help, she would have had to wait in line for at least half an hour.
"No need to be polite, it was just a convenient thing to do. We all live in the same dorm; we should naturally help each other out," Tian Yu said with a smile.
Then she handed Sheng Ning’an her military training uniform.
Taking it, Sheng Ning’an said, "Great, my family lives in Jing City, so I’m quite familiar with this area. If you need any help in the future, just let me know."
"We actually need your help with something right now," Tian Yu said with a smile.
"Oh?" Sheng Ning’an looked at her.
Tian Yu said, "We want to know what brand of sunscreen you use? Military training starts tomorrow, and I’m really afraid of getting tanned."
Xue Xian chimed in from the side, "Exactly, exactly. I’m already not very fair-skinned. If I get tanned, I won’t be able to face anyone."
"Okay, I’ll go back and check then tell you," she replied. Usually, someone from her family would prepare her skincare products; she hadn’t really paid attention to the brands, just continued using them because they felt good.
Sheng Ning’an returned to the dormitory, found the sunscreen, and handed it to Tian Yu, saying, "This is the one. Look it up yourselves!"
Tian Yu and Xue Xian took a photo of the product and searched online, only to fall silent upon seeing the price. Wow, the cost of one bottle was nearly half of their monthly living expenses.
It was more expensive than the entire set of skincare products they were used to.
Well then, even though they now knew what it was, they couldn’t afford it.
"What’s wrong?" Seeing their discouraged expressions, Sheng Ning’an couldn’t help but ask.
Tian Yu said, "It’s too expensive! I think my face just might not be worthy of it." Let it get dark; a darker complexion is healthier anyway!
Xue Xian also nodded in agreement, "It’s more than ten times the price of what I bought before. Good stuff really isn’t cheap."
With a smile, Sheng Ning’an took out an unopened bottle and handed it to them, "I happen to have an extra bottle. You can use this one!"
"How can we do that?" They immediately shook their heads and declined.
Such an expensive item couldn’t just be accepted for free.
"Exactly, exactly. We’ll just use what we’ve prepared," they insisted.
"It’s no trouble. It was a buy-one-get-one-free promotion anyway, and I won’t be able to finish it all. Didn’t you also say that we’re all in the same dorm and there’s no need to be polite?" Sheng Ning’an firmly placed the item in Tian Yu’s hand.
"Well... thank you! But we don’t need a new one; we can use the one you’ve already been using," Tian Yu returned the new bottle to Sheng Ning’an and kept the one she had been using.
"That’s fine!" Sheng Ning’an didn’t push it any further. After all, she’d only just started using that bottle, and there was enough left to last them until the end of military training.
Shi Yue watched the three chatting and laughing, a shadow of gloom flickered across her face, feeling left out.
Especially upon seeing the sunscreen in Tian Yu’s hand, she sneered inwardly.
It was just a bottle of sunscreen, and they were fawning over it so much.
When her gaze landed on Sheng Ning’an’s face, jealousy mixed with a bit of scorn rose inside her. The face was pretty, sure, but who knew if it was all thanks to expensive skincare products.
Maybe there had even been some cosmetic surgery involved.
