Chapter 43: The Indestructible Makeup and a Shrewd System

After successfully comforting Bai Mengze, Ji Wenyan still thought he would need to touch up her makeup again.

However, whether it was due to the exceptionally chosen cosmetics or the bonus from his Master-level Makeup Skill, something remarkable had happened.

Despite Bai Mengze crying for such a long time, not a single speck of her makeup had smudged!

This left Ji Wenyan utterly astonished, and he realized his plan to touch up Bai Mengze’s makeup to boost her attributes was now completely thwarted.

There was simply no opportunity for a touch-up!

[System: After the host uses the Master-level Makeup Skill, the perfect makeup will last for 24 hours and will not be altered by any factors. PS: If the host is dissatisfied with the makeup, 100 Star Origin Points can be used to remove it and start anew.]

Just as Ji Wenyan resigned himself to the failure of his plan, the system’s voice ‘coincidentally’ chimed in. The mention of using Star Origin Points to directly remove makeup made Ji Wenyan realize just how shrewd the system was at business!

Star Origin Points, besides being used to exchange for skills, actually had such a purpose…

However, Ji Wenyan had no intention of wasting Star Origin Points needlessly.

After all, he still had 60 vitality points remaining, so even if he were to do Bai Mengze’s makeup again tomorrow, it would be fine.

What a shameful waste!

Those 100 Star Origin Points could be used to upgrade a skill to its beginner level!

“Ji Wenyan, do I need a touch-up?”

“No, it’s waterproof.”

Although Ji Wenyan had learned from the system that no further touch-ups were needed, Bai Mengze remained unaware.

Having recovered from her sorrowful emotions, Bai Mengze looked at Ji Wenyan with a hint of embarrassment, unsure if her face was now a tear-streaked mess.

Ji Wenyan, however, offered her a gentle smile, reassuring her not to worry too much, as she was still as beautiful as ever.

“Rest for a bit. The competition is about to start.”

“Students participating in the Campus Belle Competition, please report to the gymnasium immediately for the arrangement of the competition order! Students participating in the Campus Belle Competition, please…”

Just as Ji Wenyan was thinking of letting Bai Mengze rest and regain her composure, the school’s loudspeaker blared to life.

This made Ji Wenyan involuntarily twitch the corner of his mouth in exasperation, musing that the school’s broadcast system, much like the omnipresent system, always managed to appear ‘coincidentally.’

‘Unbelievable!’

Upon hearing the announcement, Bai Mengze silently cheered herself on, resolving to participate wholeheartedly in the competition.

She would display her brightest smile today and clinch first place.

‘If her parents were still alive, they would surely be proud of her!’

“Ji Wenyan, I’m leaving now!”

“Mm, go ahead. I’ll come along.”

“You too?”

“Why not?”

As Bai Mengze stood up, ready to face the competition, she unexpectedly found that Ji Wenyan intended to accompany her.

First High School had hosted many Campus Belle Competitions, but she had never heard of… a male being allowed into the contestants’ backstage area.

So, could Ji Wenyan really get in smoothly?

“Don’t worry,” Ji Wenyan assured her. “I’ll go in as your accompanying makeup artist. They wouldn’t dare stop me!”

Seeing the worry on Bai Mengze’s face, Ji Wenyan, however, dismissed it entirely, clearly brimming with confidence about his ability to enter with her.

Even if they truly tried to bar his entry, a quick call to the principal would resolve all issues effortlessly.

Nevertheless, Ji Wenyan preferred not to use special privileges unless absolutely necessary.

After all, he was Bai Mengze’s makeup artist, not someone trying to sneak in and take advantage of the situation.

‘It’s about skill, not connections!’
