“Zi Chen, Zi Chen, it’s my turn, help me with my makeup!”
Seeing that Lin Zichen had just finished doing Shen Qinghan’s makeup, Li Chuxin, who had been watching the other contestants sing, immediately turned around and ran over with a smile on her face.
Lin Zichen said, “Come on, sit down.”
“Okay!”
Li Chuxin walked over to the mirror with a giggle and sat down.
Once she sat down, Lin Zichen quickly began applying her makeup with skilled movements, while Shen Qinghan stood by to assist.
It took less than ten minutes.
The makeup was done.
He had used less than fifty percent of his effort, not as wholeheartedly as when he had applied makeup to Shen Qinghan.
For Lin Zichen, he reserved the best of everything only for his parents and Shen Qinghan.
As for others, he had to reduce the quality.
Yet even so, the makeup he did for Li Chuxin still made her so happy that her face was full of smiles.
“So beautiful, so pretty!”
“Zi Chen, your makeup skills are amazing, even better than my mom!”
“No, it feels like you’re even better than many professional makeup artists!”
Li Chuxin stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself, feeling incredibly beautiful, and kept exclaiming in amazement, full of praise for Lin Zichen, who had done her makeup.
Lin Zichen, with high emotional intelligence, replied, “It’s mainly because you’re naturally pretty.”
Upon hearing this, Li Chuxin felt overjoyed and then, with a rare display of high EQ, she said with a laugh,
“That’s true, I’ve been the class belle since I was young, but, compared to your Qinghan, I’m still lacking a little bit.”
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Shen Qinghan, eyeing her delicate and pretty face, and couldn’t help but start complimenting,
“I just can’t understand how there can be such a gorgeous fairy in this world!”
“And the childhood sweetheart looks super handsome too!”
“You two are a match made in heaven, I, Li Chuxin, am totally shipping you!”
Li Chuxin’s stance had changed; she used to be crazy about Lin Zi alone, but now she was smitten with Shen Qinghan too, and she was really into this pair of high school sweethearts.
The others backstage were also a bit stunned by the scene in front of them.
“We’ll be right back!”
Leaving behind just that phrase, Lin Zichen took Shen Qinghan and left the backstage, completely disappearing from Li Chuxin’s sight.
Coming out of the backstage, the two found an empty corner and stopped.
Seeing that no one was around, Shen Qinghan couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into tears, crying incessantly as if tears cost her nothing.
“What should we do, Xiao Chen, what should we do, it’s almost time for Chu Xin and me to go on stage.”
“Chu Xin and I have practiced so long, if it ends up being ruined because I wet my pants, Chu Xin will definitely hate me.”
“Why am I so useless...”
By the end of her sentence, Shen Qinghan was sobbing so violently that she could hardly speak fluently.
Ever since she started high school, she had become timid, introverted, and felt inferior. Aside from Lin Zichen, she hardly dared to interact with others.
To change herself and become more confident, she mustered up the courage to sign up for the campus top ten singers competition following Lin Zichen’s suggestion.
After practicing so earnestly for so long, she never expected to wet her pants from nervousness just before going on stage.
Why am I so useless?
I am really so useless!
The more Shen Qinghan thought about it, the more painful it became, feeling a heavy and uncomfortable pressure in her chest.
She had already been struggling internally, and this incident of wetting her pants seemed like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, causing her complete breakdown.
Lin Zichen took out tissue to wipe her tears and comforted her softly, “There, there, don’t cry anymore, or your makeup will run.”
“It’s just wet pants; it’s not a big problem, don’t panic.”
“Don’t rush, don’t be nervous, I’ll think of a way to solve this right away.”
As he said these words, Lin Zichen’s brain was spinning rapidly, trying to figure out how to resolve the current predicament.
That’s when from the corner of his eye he spotted the curtain on the window up ahead.
It was a brightly colored curtain, embroidered with various patterns.
A solution came to mind!
Lin Zichen, struck with inspiration, told Shen Qinghan to wait here for a moment and then ran back to the backstage at top speed to find a pair of scissors.
Then, he ran up to the tightly closed window and smashed the glass with a punch, pulling down that curtain fabric inside.
With the pair of scissors in his hand and the curtain fabric, he intended to tailor a skirt for Shen Qinghan on the spot in half a minute.
