Chapter 557: Chapter 557: Acne

After coming up with that plan, she felt even more resolved, only to inadvertently fall asleep while lying in bed. When she woke up, she found that Shen Dong was still sleeping beside her, and his profile was simply the most charming.

It was precisely because of Shen Dong’s profile that she had become wildly infatuated. Just look at that tall nose and the bold bridge signifying this man’s strong foundations. And how very pale he was, his eyelashes curlier than a woman’s. Looking at those eyelashes made her somewhat angry, wishing she could transplant them onto her own face one day.

Then she definitely would become even more meaningful and perfect. Thinking so, she unwittingly reached out her hand, slowly moving towards those eyelashes, then moving down from the eyes to the nose, and then to the mouth—everything about his face was perfectly carved like a divine mask. She was very envious.

But no, she shouldn’t feel envious. After all, wasn’t her own face God’s unique favorite too? Her face was exceptionally perfect, who could compare to her? With such a beautiful face and such strong capabilities, plus a gorgeous body, no man could escape the charm of her "pomegranate skirt."

Kang Yue felt very happy inside. As she thought this, she didn’t say anything else, just indulged herself in vanity.

However, her movement might have been a bit too big and directly woke Shen Dong up. When Shen Dong first woke up, he was a bit confused, very disoriented to find that the person next to him had such restless hands.

He indicated she had been trying to touch him, which was why he had woken up so early. Grabbing her hand, he tapped Kang Yue’s nose and said, "Look what time it is and you’re still here. Do you want to sleep a little longer with me?"

After saying this, he immediately checked the time on his phone, and sure enough, he was startled—it was already six in the evening. The bars had already opened for business, and people below were preparing to celebrate. She had just let her lie in bed, but Kang Yue couldn’t just stay idle and decided to check on Tang Yuchan next door.

After drinking all night yesterday, she wasn’t sure if Tang Yuchan could get up, so she didn’t linger in bed any longer. Getting up, she went to the bathroom to wash up, only then remembering that she had forgotten to remove her makeup yesterday. Oh no, her skin must look dreadful without having removed her makeup.

Dead, she thought and couldn’t stay put any longer. She quickly used water and makeup remover to clean her face completely. Seeing the terrible state of her face, she decided she absolutely couldn’t wear makeup again today, opting instead for a simple face mask.

But if she didn’t wear makeup today, going downstairs to see those people would be horrible.

If she looked different from usual, everyone would doubt her identity. No, she should apply some makeup nevertheless—those terrible pimples were nothing serious, everything could be covered up. With this in mind, she quickly finished brushing her teeth and went outside, all the while covering her face, afraid that Shen Dong would see her dreadful complexion.

Shen Dong woke up early and saw that the girl was always covering her face with her hand, and even stealthily peeking out one eye at him. To an outsider, it might look like she was up to something. He quickly stood up, went over, removed her hand, and said:

"Are you acting like a thief or something? Why are you hiding your face? You always think your face is perfect, right? Hiding it like this, are you afraid I’ll see something?" He lifted the cloth only to find a few large pimples on her face, a consequence of forgetting to remove her makeup last night.

It was the first time Shen Dong had seen such a perfect face with such symmetrically placed pimples. He couldn’t help but fall silent for a moment, then almost burst out laughing.

Kang Yue, staring back at him, also remained silent, not saying a word. She must have been disgusted by her own face. Not feeling too happy, she reached out and gently punched his shoulder, saying, "It’s all your fault for not reminding me to take off my makeup yesterday. You kept blabbering on and on, completely messing up my mind. And then you dragged me out to buy breakfast.

This made me forget all about it. Anyway, it’s all your fault, and I’m not going out tonight. I’m gonna give myself a break and just lie down and rest. You can go handle your tasks alone since I can’t put on makeup today anyway. Just deal with it however you can."

After saying that, she just lay down on the bed. Honestly, I didn’t feel like moving an inch. At that moment, Shen Dong realized what it meant to "lift a rock only to drop it on one’s own feet". Why was she blaming him now?

After all, it was she who wanted breakfast yesterday, which is why they went out to buy buns. He hadn’t said a word about it. This girl really had a way with words, turning the blame on him just like that, leaving Shen Dong speechless.

But first, he needed to cheer her up. The two pimples obviously upset her deeply, so he wasn’t planning to deal with anyone else downstairs. Missing out on a bit of supervision there was no big deal, since there were specialized people to watch over it.

He lay down beside Kang Yue and began, "You know, those two pimples actually make you look prettier. You weren’t absolutely perfect before you got them. Now, it’s like they balance out your flawless face, making it especially perfect. You don’t even need makeup now; just a light touch of lipstick would be enough for you to go out.

Believe me, you’re the prettiest here anyway. Why hide your face? Tell me, right?" His tone softened as he added, "I was wrong just now. I misunderstood you."

That’s how Shen Dong gently coaxed Kang Yue. She couldn’t believe it; this manipulative man was just trying to trick her into working. Deep inside, Kang Yue felt furious. No wonder she thought of men as utterly deceitful, saying such things just to trick her into working—nothing but a barefaced liar.

She was firm about not going downstairs, turning her head away to show she didn’t want to go. If he wanted to work, he could go by himself, no need to keep up this pointless charade here.

Trying to trick me into working with you? That little expression of hers had Shen Dong laughing his head off. Forget it, women with pimples were the hardest to please, and it seemed his long efforts were still not paying off.
