Mei Mei had just taken a shower, and Su Yao was wearing a strikingly alluring rose-red nightgown.
It was still the spaghetti strap style, adorned with lace edges, complementing her proud curves and exuding a strong seductive vibe.
This was one she hadn’t been able to resist buying recently.
In fact, she had ordered two in total; the other one was still on its way.
The styles were similar, just different colors.
Su Yao thought they looked good, so she bought both.
Looking at the nightgown she wore now, Su Yao couldn’t help but feel a bit bitter inside.
She realized she was increasingly fond of this kind of outfit, even getting used to the feeling of wearing such bold and avant-garde clothes.
Although she usually covered up thoroughly outside, once she got home, she would let loose completely.
Is this what they call… crispy on the outside, tender on the inside?
Or maybe, the liberation of the feminine within?
Whatever it was, she could wear whatever she wanted at home.
If she felt like dressing like a girl, then so be it!
It wasn’t that Su Yao had a particularly strong capacity to accept this; rather, she liked pretending to be oblivious.
The more she pretended, the more she truly believed nothing had changed.
If she acted like nothing was different, then it wasn’t different!
She collapsed onto the bed, the soft quilt warmed by the air conditioner wrapped her in an indescribable tenderness.
Lying comfortably for a moment, Su Yao suddenly sat up.
She climbed over to the bedside table, leaned down, pulled out a drawer, and took out a delicate Black Paper Box.
Opening it, inside lay the lipstick that Mu Nanqiu had given her…
Holding it close to her chest, Su Yao’s hand still trembled slightly from excitement.
She lay back on the bed, staring at the unchanging ceiling patterns.
Her pretty, charming face bloomed with a smile, both hands clutching the lipstick against her heart.
Su Yao recalled the scene from just now.
Mu Nanqiu held Su Yao’s chin in one hand, while with the other she gently applied a layer of pink lipstick to her lips.
The cool touch made Su Yao’s breathing uncontrollably deepen and quicken.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Mu Nanqiu’s beautiful eyes shimmering like autumn waters, barely concealing her affection.
She reached out with her index finger to lightly tap Su Yao’s lips and said in a captivating, husky voice,
“My Yao Yao is really beautiful~”
Su Yao, feeling flustered, stupidly blurted out, “I’m not, senior sister, you’re the beautiful one!”
Mu Nanqiu was momentarily stunned, then burst into a shameless laugh.
Su Yao followed suit, though she felt quite embarrassed.
After they’d laughed enough, Mu Nanqiu stuffed the lipstick into Su Yao’s hand, speaking with a cheerful tone.
“This one is a gift for my Yao Yao. So, what kind of return gift is my Yao Yao planning for me?”
“Uh…”
Su Yao looked at the red glass tube still warm from Mu Nanqiu’s touch in her hand, a little excited inside.
But at the mention of a return gift, she felt stuck. She had never given anyone a gift before.
Mu Nanqiu gave her a lipstick, but she hardly used makeup.
It wasn’t like she could wear it to school every day.
Although it was university and students were allowed to dress up and wear makeup, she wasn’t quite ready for that yet.
What should she give?
Another cosmetic?
Su Yao was a late bloomer when it came to makeup.
What did she know about cosmetics?
So she decided to fish for Mu Nanqiu’s preference, asking straightforwardly,
“Senior sister, what do you want me to send you?”
Mu Nanqiu didn’t answer but stared deeply at her.
That gaze made Su Yao nervous, and she anxiously called out,
“Senior sister?”
Covering her burning cheeks with both hands, unable to contain her feelings, Su Yao rolled around on the bed for several minutes until exhaustion finally stopped her.
She brushed the tangled hair from her face, panting.
“Calling me Yao Yao is one thing, but ‘my Yao Yao’ is just too embarrassing, right?!
Senior sister is so mean!
So mean!
So mean ah ah ah!!!”
After about ten minutes, Su Yao finally recovered from the aftereffects of today’s little rendezvous.
Unconsciously, she pressed her index finger to her lips, slightly pursing them, as if the warmth of that moment still lingered.
Sitting up, she twirled the lipstick in her hand, looked at the brand, then searched for it on the Mobile Payment App.
What she found shocked her.
This brand, this peachy pink shiny shade, cost a thousand yuan each.
Seeing the price, Su Yao’s head immediately drooped.
She wanted to buy one as a return gift for Mu Nanqiu.
Although Senior Sister came from a wealthy family and didn’t care about such things, she believed in giving back gifts of equal value.
Su Yao had planned to return a lipstick but hadn’t expected it to be so insanely expensive.
Still, she decided to buy it.
The money she’d just earned hadn’t even warmed her wallet before she spent over a thousand.
Su Yao felt like crying but thinking of it as a gift for Mu Nanqiu, she didn’t feel so heartbroken.
She put it back into the box and returned it to the drawer.
Glancing at her phone, she saw a message from Oyster Sauce, who had replied, “Busy with the junior sister, sorry I didn’t see it,” which annoyed Su Yao.
Damn guy, how could he be so fast!
Calming herself, Su Yao sent Mu Nanqiu a goodnight message.
Within seconds, Mu Nanqiu replied with a “Goodnight,” and Su Yao was immediately satisfied.
Covering herself with the little blanket, she fell asleep.
At the other end, Mu Nanqiu was looking at Su Yao’s goodnight message.
Her smile never faded.
Today she had indeed taken just a small, very light taste of her own Yao Yao’s flavor to satisfy herself.
Mu Nanqiu’s feeling right now could be summed up in two words: delicious!!!
Su Yao was painting a cardboard prop according to the design draft.
Many others were working alongside her.
After finishing painting a piece about the size of a table, Su Yao carried it over and stacked it in the pile by the back door of the classroom.
Just as she put down the prop, she heard noisy chatter from outside.
Everyone is naturally curious about gossip, and Su Yao was no exception.
She listened closely to the conversation outside.
“Yun Qing, you’re amazing. This script is way better than the previous one.”
“I just made some revisions based on the earlier draft, nothing special.”
“No, no, you’re way better! This script is good enough to sell. Stop being so modest.”
“Yeah, yeah, I think it’s great too.”
“I sometimes write a bit myself; this is nothing for me, heh heh heh.”
Yun Qing was almost laughing non-stop.
Within the small acting group, the praise she received had almost surpassed that of the vice class monitor who was directing.
After the script and dialogue changes, it was no longer awkward, and the actors’ enthusiasm had increased greatly.
The whole atmosphere had returned to one of teamwork and friendliness.
Naturally, all credit went to her!
With everyone escorting her inside, Yun Qing’s gaze swept around and finally landed on Su Yao.
She gave Su Yao a smug smile.
Su Yao twitched the corner of her mouth and muttered, “Weirdo,” without responding and went back to her work.
