Shi Nian had originally intended to ask Rong Qing to keep this secret and not tell anyone.

Unexpectedly, Rong Qing actually asked her to keep the secret.

This is exactly what she wanted!

However, Shi Nian did not immediately agree.

She looked at Rong Qing coldly and asked, "Give me a reason."

Rong Qing chuckled lightly, "There's no particular reason. I just don't want others to know your true appearance and want to possess your beauty exclusively."

Shi Nian said with a half-smile, "Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'd believe your absurd explanation?"

Rong Qing sighed softly, "I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe me, Niannian?"

Shi Nian's eyes grew increasingly cold.

She felt that Rong Qing was hiding something from her.

However, she could also tell that Rong Qing didn't intend to tell her the real reason.

Shi Nian stared at him coldly for a long time before looking away and sitting down in front of the dressing mirror with a blank expression.

She was going to draw on the birthmark on her face.

"Let me draw the birthmark on Niannian."

Just as Shi Nian was about to reach for the cosmetics, Rong Qing gently grabbed her wrist and said, "Let me help you with your makeup."

Shi Nian looked up at him and asked, "You know how to do makeup?"

Rong Qing said gently, "I thought that most girls nowadays like to wear makeup, so I learned how before Niannian came back, and I plan to do her makeup when she comes back."

Shi Nian: "..."

Rong Qing continued, "Besides makeup, I've also learned skincare and body care. If Niannian needs it, I can help her with her skincare every day."

Shi Nian's lips twitched. "...Thank you, but I don't need it."

Rong Qing chuckled softly.

He first applied skincare products to Shi Nian before selecting suitable pigments for drawing the birthmark and then began to draw the birthmark on her.

He was skilled and had a good memory, so he drew the birthmark exactly like her original one.

"Alright, Niannian, go downstairs and keep Grandpa company first. I'll tidy up the room and come down later." Rong Qing looked at the birthmark on her face and smiled with satisfaction.

Shi Nian nodded and got up to leave the room.

But she suddenly came back, took another gift out of the gift box and handed it to him, saying, "This is for Mingyue. When Mingyue comes back, please give it to him for me. Jiu Tu and I are classmates, so I will give his gift to him personally when he comes back."

Rong Qing accepted the gift from her hand and nodded gently.

Shi Nian went downstairs with peace of mind and chatted with her grandfather with Han Shuangzhe.

After chatting for a while, I accompanied my grandfather for a walk in the yard.

But when she got to the area below her room, she looked up casually and saw Rong Qing hanging clothes on her balcony!

Her clothes were hanging out to dry.

When she looked up, she saw him hanging up her underwear!

Shi Nian froze, staring at Rong Qing in disbelief.

Didn't he just say he was tidying up the room?

Why did I still help her with her laundry?

And he actually washed it by hand?

That's bad enough, but he even went so far as to smuggle his underwear?!

Shi Nian thought she was usually quite easygoing, but at this moment, she still felt inexplicably ashamed.

Rong Qing seemed to notice her gaze and glanced down at her.

Upon seeing Shi Nian, a gentle smile spread across his ethereal face as he gazed at her with doting affection, showing no sign of embarrassment.

Shi Nian: "..."
