Chapter 155: Not to Please Others, Just to Please Myself

Su Xingwan apologized to Shi Ling, then continued jumping rope. She didn't stop until someone from the dormitory downstairs came up to complain.

Shi Ling sat on the bed, chewing an apple. "Why are you jumping rope in the middle of the day, right after eating?"

Lin Lin said, "Xing Wan didn't even have lunch."

Su Xingwan clenched her fist angrily and said, "I want to lose weight!"

"Huh?" Shi Ling looked at her in confusion. "You're not fat, why do you want to lose weight?"

Su Xingwan's eyes turned red with anger. "But Fang Songzhao and the others said I was fat. They said that the posts I posted on WeChat Moments were all fake photos."

Shi Ling clicked on Su Xingwan's Moments and saw the nine grids she had posted, all of them featuring the same snake-like face. Each one was different, and he couldn't help but be silent for a moment: "How can this be called a photo scam?"

Su Xingwan looked at Shi Ling with joy, desperately hoping for her approval. After all, Shi Ling was the acknowledged campus beauty of Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School.

Shi Ling couldn't bear to look at it: "This is clearly a magic mirror!"

"Shi Ling!!!"

Su Xingwan was furious. She rushed over, pressed Shi Ling down on the bed and kept tickling her.

"Su Xiaosi, hahaha, Miss Su Si, I was wrong!" Shi Ling begged for mercy.

Su Xingwan glared at her and snorted, "I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words."

Shi Ling said, "You look much better than in the photo."

Su Xingwan touched her slightly chubby face, unsure, "Really? But usually no one praises me, but a lot of people on my WeChat Moments praise me. Fang Songzhao and his group of boys also said that I'm much fatter than in the photos."

"Come on, your face has been photoshopped into a snake-like shape, how can you not be thin? Who says that only thin people are good-looking? Healthy and natural are the most beautiful. Besides, you are not fat. Your oval face is very classy, much better looking than those inverted triangle faces of internet celebrities." Shi Ling looked serious and pinched her cheeks.

Su Xingwan was somewhat convinced and let her go.

She held her face in her hands and said, "But if I don't edit the picture, I don't think it's pretty enough."

"You can put on makeup for beauty treatments. Xingwan, don't listen to what Fang Songzhao and the others say. They just know you care about your weight and are mocking you on purpose. Let's eat first." Lin Lin packed some food for her.

Su Xingwan thought what they said made sense, so after eating, she placed an order for a bunch of cosmetics and skin care products.

After the exam on Friday, Su Xingwan pulled Lin Lin and ran excitedly to the express store, and brought back a bunch of skin care and beauty products to the dormitory.

Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School has a grooming policy that prohibits wearing makeup, but the school has no control over students wearing makeup outside of class time.

Shi Ling returned to the dormitory after dinner, and was stopped by a pile of express boxes at the door as soon as she entered.

It is girls’ nature to love beauty, not to please others, but to please themselves.

Everyone in the dormitory gathered around Su Xingwan to try out the newly bought cosmetics. When she saw Shi Ling coming back, Su Xingwan even called her over: "Shi Ling, come and try this lipstick color, it's really beautiful."

Shi Ling looked up and was shocked by their mouths all being bright red.

"Fuck, are you guys stealing the kids?"

"Oops, I accidentally applied it too thickly. Look at the color comparison on my hand, this color is really amazing! This lipstick is a new product of a niche brand, and I grabbed it in the live broadcast room." Su Xingwan looked in the mirror, then wiped her mouth with a tissue, and excitedly showed her arm to Shi Ling.

The other roommates were also very excited, as if they had discovered a treasure.

There were more than a dozen red marks of varying depths on Su Xingwan's fair arms, drawn with lipstick, which looked somewhat horrifying.

Shi Ling couldn't bear to look at it: "Aren't they all the same?"

Lin Lin: "You don't understand romance!"

Su Xingwan rolled her eyes: "Color blindness!"

Shi Ling: “…”
