The door rang once again.

"Ding ding ding!"

A familiar and rhythmic knocking sounded on the door.

Then, Ren Xiaobai's voice rang out: "Hey! Heloise, Jiang Yexi called and said she wants to come over to play. She also asked why your phone was off."

Honestly, Jiang Yexi and Heloise have a very good relationship.

To be precise, Jiang Yexi not only had a good relationship with Heloise, but also with the children, since she was very popular with them.

Of course, it's also possible that Jiang Yexi herself is like a child who never grows up.

"I was reading before, so I turned off my phone to keep quiet."

Heloise stood up, opened her door, and explained to Ren Xiaobai, who was standing sleepily in front of the door.

"Sigh... You turned off your phone to study... You're really diligent."

Ren Xiaobai yawned.

Then, he rubbed his short black hair and said helplessly, "Jiang Yexi is on her way now and should be here in about half an hour."

After saying that, Ren Xiaobai slowly opened his eyes.

There was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

To be honest, Ren Xiaobai and Jiang Yexi don't get along very well.

In this relationship, Tu Xiaohei occupies a certain percentage.

In a broader sense, it's probably because Jiang Yexi herself is very assertive, and Ren Xiaobai is also very assertive.

When two strong people meet, it's like a needle meeting a wheat awn.

This isn't my quote. Don't put all the blame on me. As Xun once said, "When one strong person meets another strong person, they will either become enemies or become mortal adversaries."

Ren Xiaobai and Jiang Yexi are not mortal enemies, after all, they are on the same side. In the distant future, there are monster forces and alien forces that may have appeared out of nowhere.

More recently, there are also the Federal and Japanese forces keeping an eye on things.

Both of them are smart people; they wouldn't cause trouble at this crucial moment.

However, a certain amount of competition is still acceptable.

For example, raising heroin.

If you don't raise your Heloise well, this guy will have the upper hand.

Although there is no material loss, the mental state is quite unpleasant.

Therefore, Ren Xiaobai first needs to make his aura extremely strong, and secondly, he needs to make Heloise feel a strong sense of belonging to him.

That way, I can thoroughly mock Jiang Yexi.

From this perspective, this is much better than targeting Tu Xiaohei.

Tu Xiaohei is a soft-hearted person; no matter how you press or pinch him, he won't react at all.

Therefore, the solution is...

First, get yourself out of this sleepy state.

"Alright, alright, I'm going to wash up now. You continue studying. Remember to come and see me when Jiang Yexi arrives."

After saying that, Ren Xiaobai turned around.

Since your own "life regulator" is going to play...

You can use your own brand-name cosmetics and perfumes.

Generally speaking, Ren Xiaobai doesn't like using cosmetics because she thinks it's a waste of time.

However, if it can suppress Jiang Yexi's arrogance, then it's worth spending three whole hours on makeup!

In some ways, competition among women is not much weaker than competition among men.

As the core of this competition, Heloise was unaware of the subtle changes.

She just noticed that Ren Xiaobai's expression seemed a little strange.

However, Ren Xiaobai has always been like this.

Therefore, Heloise did not sense any change.

After the initial emotional turmoil, Heloise now focused her attention back on the book in front of her.

There are houses of gold and beauties in books.

Heloise truly loves reading.

Perhaps because of her background, she could only truly relax when she was reading.

Because only when she is reading can she truly improve her abilities.

Although Ren Xiaobai treated her very well, Heloise knew very well that all of this was based on Tu Xiaohei.

Now that Tu Xiaohei's fate is unknown, who can guarantee how long Ren Xiaobai can support him?

Therefore, one must first gain a certain degree of social value.

Or rather, only when he can support himself in this society through his own abilities can Heloise truly relax.

Of course, that's impossible now.

Heloise is still too young, and even if Ren Xiaobai's family has fallen on hard times, he would never let such a young child fend for himself.

Few people know the hardships and pressures Heloise endured.

Even Ren Xiaobai was unaware of this.

At this moment, Ren Xiaobai is looking in the makeup mirror and enthusiastically applying her makeup.

Makeup is not as simple as most people imagine.

You can just use a lipstick, apply it, and you're done.

Real makeup is troublesome and time-consuming.

First apply a primer, then foundation, use concealer to cover blemishes, and finally set your makeup with loose powder.

If makeup is like painting on your own face, then all these steps are just putting together a blank canvas.

These steps also took Ren Xiaobai some time.

Of course, that's not the whole reason.

It's simply because Ren Xiaobai hasn't worn makeup for a while, and her makeup skills have declined a bit.

"It's alright, let's continue."

After glancing at himself in the makeup mirror, Ren Xiaobai nodded slightly.

Then, she took out her tools and began to draw her eyebrows.

These eyebrows are a key feature.

No matter how beautiful you are, if your eyebrows aren't drawn well, it will still look bad.

For example, the delicate and gentle Xi Shi had a pair of thick, rugged eyebrows...

That was such a terrible eyesore!

Fortunately, Ren Xiaobai, while not an expert in drawing eyebrows, didn't make any major mistakes.

Moreover, Ren Xiaobai already has a good foundation, so there is no need for major changes.

Next comes applying eyeshadow. Use a light color as a base, then use a darker color to outline the triangular area. Draw eyeliner close to the lash line, then draw the under-eye area (aegyo sal), and finally add a touch of white shimmering powder.

Draw the shadows and highlights, then blend them out with a sponge pad, and then apply blush and lips.

These were all done with light makeup.

The reason is simple.

Too many cosmetics can be too much of a burden on the skin.

Moreover, there is a small problem.

That is...

Ren Xiaobai doesn't know how to do heavy makeup.

She only wears light makeup.

Do they really think she's a genius? If she knew everything, wouldn't her brain have exploded from memory issues long ago?
