Xu Weiran arrived back at his place with a bunch of stuff.
Just after he had put away his things, he heard a knock on the door.
He went to open the door and, to his surprise, it was the girl from across the hall again.
Li Jingjing also seemed a bit embarrassed, "Hello, this must be your package, right? I’m sorry, the courier delivered it to me by mistake. I didn’t know it was yours, so I opened it."
"No problem! Thank you for bringing it back to me," Xu Weiran took the package, intending to close the door.
Ever since he found out she had a certain interest in him, Xu Weiran had subconsciously tried to keep his distance from the girl across the hall.
Luckily, since their schedules didn’t align, they didn’t run into each other often.
Unless, like now, she made a point to knock on his door, he would hardly ever see her.
Li Jingjing couldn’t help but notice his deliberate distancing, and while she felt a slight twinge in her heart, she couldn’t help but say, "Um, I saw you bought a lot of skincare products. The thing is, my roommate usually pays attention to this stuff and knows quite a bit. If you need it, next time she could recommend some good products for you."
"Thank you, but there’s no need. I just got carried away and bought them on a whim," Xu Weiran replied.
Li Jingjing felt rejected and gave a stiff smile, "Alright then, I’ll head back now."
Xu Weiran went back to his room, opened the package, and took out the various skincare products he had bought. He then began to check the instructions to see the usage steps and directions for each product.
But there were too many things, and he didn’t know where to start, so he turned to the internet to search for skincare routines.
When he finally finished his research, he realized that skincare was even more troublesome than conducting an experiment.
It wasn’t as simple as just applying products to his face; there was a specific order and method to it. Even the technique was important—if you got the steps wrong, all your skincare efforts could go to waste.
Although it was a bit troublesome, in order not to be frowned upon by his girlfriend, he started to follow the online guides and began the skincare process step by step.
He had just finished washing his face and hadn’t been wearing the facial mask for long when the ringtone from his phone in the living room sounded.
He saw that it was a video call from Sheng Ning’an. Without a second thought, he pressed the answer button.
As soon as a dark face appeared on the screen, both went silent.
Xu Weiran was the first to recover, hastily ripping off the mask from his face, "Cough... Don’t get the wrong idea, I was just bored, so..." Bored, so doing a mask? It was probably the most unique excuse Sheng Ning’an had ever heard.
Xu Weiran also felt the excuse he had come up with was unreliable, but he had already said it.
And he couldn’t find a better explanation at the moment.
Sheng Ning’an coughed lightly, holding back a laugh, "You like doing facials too? That’s good. Next time, we can do it together."
Xu Weiran opened his mouth but then closed it again.
Forget it, the more he tried to explain, the more unclear it would become. It was better to say nothing at all. At most, the girl would just think he was vain.
But Sheng Ning’an didn’t see any problem with a guy doing a facial.
If girls liked skincare, guys could certainly do it too.
After all, everyone has a desire to look good!
Plus, it wasn’t bad for a boyfriend to pay attention to skin care. Apparently, some male celebrities have more skincare products than women. Maybe they could even share skincare tips with each other in the future.
Having one more thing to talk about in daily life isn’t bad.
Xu Weiran was unaware that the girl had already thought so much, but even if he knew, there was nothing he could do about it.
What’s seen is seen; he couldn’t make her unsee it.
