30 You're So Lucky!

"So Meimei, when you semester break start?" Shen Ming Yi ask. She wants to make a preparation for her daughter when she went back home for semester break.

"Uhm...Next week. After the closing ceremony. And guess what, mom? I already buy a bus ticket! Yeay!" She said with a cheerful voice.

"Great. I'll pay you back your ticket money."

"Mom! No!..don't worry. My salary is pretty high. I got my commission when I sell one item. So I had some saving."

"But Xue Mei...I don't like seeing you struggle alone there while you still in your study."

She chuckles a bit before she replies to her mother. "Mom..seriously, I'm not that struggling. I don't know why, but I was surrounded by good people around me. Even though most of them are rich, but they still hold some manner. We live in the ages where people already learn how to respect each other. This is not like your drama soap, mom.."

Sighing, she shakes her head listening to her daughter. "Somehow I think you've changed. The way you think have change and the way you see this world also change. Are you sure you are still my daughter?"

"Mom…" She rolled her eyes.

"Oh, how was Linlin? Did he get the drawing I sent him last week?"

"Linlin is like always. But he's getting better day by day. Maybe he can be normal again if this improvement keeps progressing day by day."

"Hmm, if he can go out I swear I gonna bring him to this City. With Mom and dad too of course!" She grinning.

"Hmm...Oh, I noticed you draw someone in your drawing. But it's a bit hazy. Who is that man?"

"Mmm…" She put her finger in her chin like she was thinking for a moment.

"Your future-son-in-law."

"Shen Xue Mei! I send you there for you to study, not to flirting around." Shen Ming Yi stares at her daughter like she was a criminal.

"Mommm….."

"Is he is the same as us?"

She shakes her head. "No."

Pinch her forehead, she continues again. "Meimei, it's not that I too strict with you. But having someone who is not within our reach is impossible. Don't waste your time for something that will only hurt you. I know you are now at your ages where you should feel what love is..but..if it is possible, find someone who can always be by your side. Who always accept you and protect you. Do not say that I did not warn you in the future. Got it?"

"Mm..thanks, mom. But even if it's impossible, I will make it possible. Trust me. He's a good man. I'll introduce to you when it's time. Oh, don't tell dad, please.."

"Why?"

"He gonna cry like hell if he knows.."

Shen Ming Yi laughs hearing that. "Well, you're the only daughter he had. Of course, he will feel that way."

Looking at the time on her laptop, she gasps a bit. "Mom...I VC you again later, I'll be late to go to Risa's campus."

"Oh? Honey, can you record it? I wanna see it too. Oh~ I couldn't believe that Risa gonna sing today."

Xue Mei shot her mother with a jealousy aura. "Mom…why you so favor her than your daughter? You don't even want to know how was my art yesterday.."

"Heh…I know how your drawing looks like. And honey, mom like Risa more because she was so cute and nice and very polite. Not like my daughter who somehow rough like a boy and not cute at all."

"Mom!! I'm not talking to you again! Hmph!" She cut the video call and close her laptop.

"Hmph! Who said I'm not cute? Fine, I dress up like a doll tonight and send it to you, mom! Just wait! If I'm not cute, that's because you too not cute! Arghh…"

She went to the closet and find the box that Ren gives her. He said that he buys some outfit for her. She only takes a glance that day and keeps it safe in the closet.

Took out the box, she opens it.

She blinks her eyes a few times. "Erm..am I gonna attract people to see me if I wear this?" She mumbles and took out the dress from the box.

It's a strapless evening dress with a knee-length. The color is dusty pink with a bit of glittering design. Not only that, but it also packages with the heels and purse.

"My hair color won't match with this dress." She went to her dresser and find some hair coloring, for a temporary.

"Erm..but I'll take hours if I want to dye my hair by myself." she taps of her chin for a moment before she finally remembers something.

"Aha! I can ask those girls for help." She takes the hair coloring and went to the downstairs.

There at least five girls at the downstairs watching some movie and some of them are gossiping with each other.

"Urm..girls...I need some help." She stammering a bit.

She's not that close with them but they also not in a bad term. All of them turn their head to Xue Mei.

"What's wrong?" Luo Hui asks.

"Err…can you girls help me to recolor my hair? It's a temporary color so it won't take a long time as a permanent coloring." She said with a bit hesitate.

"Ah~ I've been waiting for this opportunity. Come here, my eyes have been hurt since the first day you come." Luo Hui smiling. All the girls are also quite excited to see her change her hair color.

"Erk! Are you guys gonna make my hair in some striking color?" She asks worriedly.

They laugh a bit. "Don't ask. Come on. Let us redefine your perspective of 'beautiful'." One of the girls already grab her arm and make her sit on the chair.

"You girls make me worried."

"Ah~ just stay still." Another one already pulls over her moveable dresser drawer from her bedroom. On the moveable dresser, there's a lot of beautician equipment for the hairstyle.

"Erm…I want it to color in.."

"Shh! You don't have the right to choose the color. Let us decide what's look good on you." Luo Hui makes her silent.

'Oh, my hair!' She almost crying and regret at the same time.

While Luo Hui works on her hair color, the other girls work on coloring her nails and even doing some facial treatment to her.

"Erm…girls…aren't we gonna be late if you all keep makeover me here?" she asks after some times.

"Relax..we take a turn to 'repairing' you." Luo Hui massages her head while rinsing her hair.

"Now I feel like I'm your little experiment things."

"Hahaha..aren't we cool?"

"Best housemate ever!"

"Next year is my final year. So did most of them. So, while we here let's enjoy our little time and get more close, okay?"

"I must say, you're the best senior sister I have."

"Heh…I know.."

…

They finishing their makeover at 6 pm.

"Hurry hurry. Go upstairs and wear your dress." Luo Hui says to Xue Mei. She also needs to go to her room and changes.

Xue Mei did not look at her hair at all. She went to her room and get change into the dress that Ren gifted to her.

Her hair already styled by the girls before. She put on the heels and went to her closet. Find something to cover her shoulder.

Rummages her closet, she finally finds a white faux fur shoulder cape that her mother gives to her for winter. It looks a bit cute.

"Ermm..this will do, I guess." She wears it and went out of her room.

Walk down to the downstairs, all the girls start shrieking seeing her dress.

"Oh my god! This is a limited edition from S.H.E brand. Where did you get this?"

"Wait, this is one set?!"

"Oh my god! Xue Mei! You're so lucky!"
