Li Susu pretended to look pleasantly surprised. “Really? Thank you so much, Sister Xu Mei!”
As she spoke, she ushered Xu Mei inside.
Xu Mei noticed the two bottles on the table and curiously leaned over to take a look. “Susu, what are these two bottles?”
Li Susu glanced at the facial cleanser and makeup remover, and her heart skipped a beat.
Oh no. No one has ever seen things like these at this time.
Fortunately, the labels on the bottles were written entirely in English, which Xu Mei couldn’t understand.
Li Susu picked up the two bottles and casually set them aside. “My parents sent them to me. They said they’re good stuff, but I haven’t tried them yet!”
As soon as Xu Mei heard that they were good things, she became secretly excited.
Whenever Li Susu’s parents sent her something in the past, Li Susu would always share it with her.
Thinking of that, Xu Mei began looking forward to it.
In a little while, Susu will definitely give me one of these.
“Susu, there’s still some makeup left on your face. Wash it off first, and I’ll give you a beautiful makeover afterward!”
Li Susu obediently went to wash her face.
She picked up the two bottles, squeezed some of the transparent oil into her palm, and rubbed it onto her face. Then she wet her hands with water and massaged her skin.
After Li Susu rinsed her face clean, Xu Mei was stunned to discover that all the remaining makeup had disappeared.
In its place was a fair, clean, and beautiful face.
Before Xu Mei could recover from her shock, she saw Li Susu squeeze out a pump of milky-white cleanser, work it into a lather, and massage it in circular motions over her face.
Xu Mei stared at her in confusion.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that Li Susu was very different today.
Even the way she washed her face was strange.
“Susu, what are you doing?” Xu Mei couldn’t help asking.
As Li Susu rinsed the cleanser from her face, she replied, “Washing my face, of course! You don’t know how difficult the makeup you used to put on me was to wash off. I could never get it completely clean. My face would always become red, and later I even developed quite a few pimples!”
Xu Mei knew all about that.
She had deliberately applied such heavy makeup to Li Susu.
Her goal had been to make Li Susu embarrass herself!
And if she couldn’t wash the makeup off properly, her skin would gradually deteriorate. Developing spots and acne was only natural.
That way, Li Susu’s beauty would slowly be ruined.
But now, Li Susu’s face seemed to have been cleansed incredibly well!
A faint sense of unease arose in Xu Mei’s heart.
After drying her face, Li Susu continued, “I just used makeup remover and facial cleanser. With these two things, I can get my face completely clean. From now on, you can put makeup on me without worrying!”
Xu Mei couldn’t help rolling her eyes.
“Of course. You’re my good friend. I’ll definitely keep doing your makeup!”
This Li Susu really has no brains.
She still wants me to keep doing her makeup.
Hasn’t she embarrassed herself enough already?
After washing her face, Li Susu sat down in front of the mirror.
The moment she saw her reflection, even Li Susu herself was stunned.
Her current face was even more exquisite than the one she had possessed in her previous life.
She had phoenix-shaped eyes, with clear black-and-white pupils. Her eyelashes were long, naturally curled and lifted. Her lips were like cherries, rosy and full.
Her nose was high and well-defined without looking out of place.
She had an oval-shaped face and flawless, fair skin.
Her eyebrows were naturally shaped in a neat, straight line.
Oh my God! With a face like this, why would I even need makeup?
Putting makeup on this naturally beautiful face would only ruin it!
Xu Mei looked at Li Susu’s freshly washed face, her heart filled with jealousy.
The heavens are really unfair. Why did they have to make Li Susu so beautiful?
She’s been living in the countryside for so long, yet her skin hasn’t even gotten darker from the sun.
No! With a face this beautiful, she absolutely cannot let Lu Yuanxing see her.
Xu Mei’s features twisted with jealousy.
She looked at Li Susu. “Susu, I’ll do your makeup now!”
Li Susu looked at herself in the mirror and deliberately asked in confusion, “Sister Xu Mei, with a face like mine, do I really need makeup?”
Xu Mei’s heart jolted.
She immediately said, “Oh, your looks are certainly beyond reproach. But putting on some makeup would just make you even more beautiful, wouldn’t it?”
Li Susu gave Xu Mei a long, meaningful look.
Since Xu Mei still hadn’t given up on trying to harm her, Li Susu wasn’t going to hold back anymore.
“Sister Xu Mei, you’ve taken such good care of me all these years. Have a cup of water first before you help me with my makeup.”
With that, Li Susu got up, poured a cup of plain boiled water, and secretly added a little of the itching powder from her space.
Once someone took this itching powder, they would initially feel only a slight itch. But every hour, the affected area would double in size, while the intensity of the itching would also double.
Eventually, it would feel as though insects were crawling all over the body, biting and gnawing at the skin, making the person wish they were dead.
However, the effects of the powder lasted only twenty-four hours.
It could be considered a small punishment for everything Xu Mei had done to the original owner.
Li Susu handed the cup to Xu Mei.
Xu Mei didn’t suspect a thing and drained the entire cup in one go.
After finishing it, she urged Li Susu, “Let’s get started!”
Li Susu nodded. “Okay!”
But inwardly, she began counting.
One.
Two.
Three.
Here we go!
Xu Mei had just taken out her lipstick when she suddenly felt a little itchy on her back.
She couldn’t help shifting around.
“Susu, my back feels a little itchy. Can you check if some kind of bug crawled onto me?”
Li Susu immediately put on a concerned expression. “I’ll take a look. Sister Xu Mei, stand still.”
Li Susu walked behind Xu Mei and pointed at her completely empty back, pretending to be shocked.
“Sister Xu Mei, there’s a huge spider on your back! I don’t dare touch it!”
Xu Mei’s face instantly turned pale.
“No wonder my back feels so itchy! Get a fly swatter and kill it!”
Li Susu looked around.
“I don’t have a fly swatter at home. But I found a small wooden stick. Will that work?”
At this moment, Xu Mei only wanted Li Susu to kill the spider and didn’t care what she used.
“Yes! Hurry up and kill it!”
Li Susu gripped the little wooden stick tightly and swung it with all her strength, smacking it against Xu Mei’s back.
Xu Mei immediately screamed.
“Li Susu! Why did you hit me so hard? It hurts like hell!”
Li Susu looked completely innocent.
“I’m sorry, Sister Xu Mei. I was only trying to help you kill the spider. You won’t blame me, will you?”
Xu Mei suppressed her anger.
“I don’t blame you. Did you kill the spider?”
Li Susu shook her head.
“No. It crawled down to your waist!”
As soon as Li Susu said that, Xu Mei suddenly felt her waist begin itching too.
“Quick! Quick! Kill it! This time, don’t hit so hard!”
Li Susu hurriedly agreed and swung the little stick at Xu Mei’s waist.
Xu Mei felt as though her waist was about to break.
How can Li Susu be so heavy-handed?
She endured the pain and asked, “Did you kill it?”
Li Susu dejectedly replied, “It’s all because I’m so useless. The spider crawled up to your shoulder…”
Xu Mei nearly wanted to curse.
Li Susu is seriously fucking useless.
“Forget it, forget it. I’ll go back and ask my sister to help me!”
Li Susu immediately looked hurt.
“Is Sister Xu Mei saying you don’t want my help anymore?”
Xu Mei snapped impatiently, “I’m afraid you’ll beat me to death!”
A tear rolled down Li Susu’s cheek.
“Sister Xu Mei, how could you say that? I was genuinely trying to help you, yet you say something like that to me. I’m really hurt!”
Xu Mei was helpless.
“Fine, you do it. But this time, make sure you kill the spider!”
Li Susu nodded.
She picked up the stick again and swung it hard against Xu Mei’s shoulder.
Xu Mei felt a heavy blow land on her shoulder, and the pain was so intense that half of her body went numb.
She glared furiously at Li Susu.
“Li Susu! Do you have some kind of grudge against me? Why the hell are you hitting me so hard?”
