Yue Xin looked at her new self in the mirror and was a little stunned. It turned out that wearing different styles of clothes could make her a completely different person.
While Yue Xin was admiring her new clothes, Yi Chengxuan took out a pile of accessories from somewhere; there were hair buns, jade pendants, earrings, and ornaments.
Yi Chengxuan stood beside Yue Xin and looked at her through the mirror. “Do you want to comb your hair into a bun? It should look good.”
Yue Xin tilted her head and asked, “Why do you know these?”
Yi Chengxuan’s expression froze for a moment before he immediately returned to normal. “My sister liked these very much. I learned them after watching too much from the side.
Yue Xin didn’t ask further and nodded.
Yi Chengxuan was more than a head taller than Yue Xin. He didn’t need Yue Xin to sit down and could simply tidy Yue Xin’s hair.
At this moment, only No.12 had mixed feelings. Why? Why didn’t he have the chance to comb Yue Xin’s hair?! He hated it!
Ever since Yi Chengxuan had sent someone to send him the yarn, the werewolf brother next door had been knitting quietly, as if he didn’t care about anything in the outside world. However, Yi Chengxuan knew that from the way his muscles were tense, he wasn’t in a comfortable posture at all; this was the posture of someone who could fight at any time.
Mi Aya, who had just changed clothes with Yue Xin, had also secretly poisoned her clothes. Yi Chengxuan knew that if he did anything abnormal, the poison would kill him without an antidote.
As for No.12, there was no need to mention him. He was on guard. None of the people Yue Xin brought were harmless.
Yi Chengxuan suddenly felt a little emotional. That little girl who had just come out of Building No.l and was walking on thin ice had actually become a king who could hold her own so quickly. If it were him, would he be able to do this? The answer was that it was impossible.
Things that could only be done with all his strength were two different concepts from what others could do effortlessly.
Beneath the peaceful times on the surface were the risk people took with their lives.
It was just like how he used his life as a bargaining chip to exchange for Yue Xin to stay here for a short period of time.
Yi Chengxuan combed Yue Xin’s hair and inserted a hairpin. He fixed it on her head as if she was a treasure.
Yue Xin originally thought that she could understand Yi Chengxuan, but now she was confused. Why was Yi Chengxuan doing this?
Yue Xin thought about it and asked. She knew very well that it was meaningless for her and Yi Chengxuan to scheme against each other now.
Yi Chengxuan’s hand slipped from Yue Xin’s hair, bringing with it a whiff of sandalwood. “Not everything requires a goal. It seems that good intentions of some people don’t seek for anything in return.”
Yue Xin interrupted Yi Chengxuan. “But this is the Land of the Fallen.”
Yi Chengxuan paused and nodded. “Yes, this is the Land of the Fallen, so I have to put my life on the line to make you lower your guard. If we meet outside, I might tell you about the scenery of different countries and tell you that there are many good intentions in the world. I’ll show you those ordinary people who work hard to live and not let you see only the ugliness of human nature.”
When Yue Xin heard Yi Chengxuan’s words, she did not have any reaction. Just as Yi Chengxuan had said, in her eyes, there was indeed only the notion of how to use people’s hearts to control them. She did not believe in kindness, because she had never seen it or felt it.
Compared to such uncertain emotions, she was more willing to believe what Yi Chengxuan had told her in the past, that only by forcing a person to the point where there was only one choice would he not betray her.
Yi Chengxuan looked into Yue Xin’s eyes and knew what she was thinking. He didn’t want to immediately change Yue Xin’s mind. He just wanted to plan slowly. What he wanted to do today was to help Yue Xin find her beautiful eyes and start from becoming beautiful.
There was no doubt about Yi Chengxuan’s skills. If Yue Xin could show 8 points of beauty without makeup at the beginning, it became 12 points under Yi Chengxuan’s styling.
Yi Chengxuan knew how to make Yue Xin bloom with her most unique beauty.
Yue Xin spun twice in front of the mirror, and the hem of her dress spread out as she spun. This was the first time she had worn such clothes, and it was also the first time she had known that once she changed into another type of clothes and set up the accessories, she would be able to change so much. She looked left and right and felt very satisfied no matter how she looked at it. She turned to look at Yi Chengxuan. “Is there any other color? I want to wear white.”
When Yi Chengxuan heard this, he had a feeling that he had expected this. He brought Yue Xin to a closet. It was filled with white dresses, but they were different from the European-style dresses Maya had chosen. Yi Chengxuan’s dresses all had Chinese elements. These elements were reflected in various details. Some were buttons, some were sleeves, and some were tailored.
Yue Xin’s gaze landed on it. Although her expression did not change, Yi Chengxuan knew that she should be happy..
