Xu Zhaozhao paused, her hand holding the makeup brush still.

She dared not say it.

Gu Qingyan is like a big puppy waiting to be petted.

Xu Zhaozhao's lips involuntarily curved into a smile.

She thought it that way, and she did it that way.

She raised her hand and placed it on his face, touching it quite rudely. "You think I can do my makeup however I want?"

You can't tell at all that this is the skin of someone who can go three days without sleeping.

Forget about pimples, at this close range, you can't even see many pores.

Gu Qingyan was startled by her actions and paused for a moment. He did not answer her immediately, but the cool touch on his face made him feel hot.

If you lower your eyes slightly, you can see her fingers rubbing her face.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he hummed an "Mmm" through his nose before opening his mouth again: "Do whatever you want with your makeup."

Everyone else is playing along with her, so what does a pretty face matter?

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhaozhao's eyes lit up, and she picked up a makeup brush, eager to try it out.

The close touch disappeared from his face, and her piercing gaze remained fixed on his face, struggling with where to begin writing.

She nodded for a moment, then frowned, her eyes never leaving him.

That focused gaze gave Gu Qingyan the illusion that he belonged to her.

Undeniably, he liked that look.

After scrutinizing his face for quite a while, Xu Zhaozhao finally picked up a makeup brush and started applying it to his face.

His skin is so perfect that any foundation would seem like a burden.

He even has the fair skin that's most important for playing a vampire, so you can just use his original skin.

Xu Zhaozhao was focused on applying his makeup with a makeup brush, and Gu Qingyan's gaze followed her the whole time.

In Gu Qingyan's world.

Its greatest value lies in its ability to attract Xu Zhaozhao to paint on its face.

"Tsk."

Xu Zhaozhao frowned slightly, dissatisfied. "Gu Qingyan, close your eyes."

"Tsk."

Gu Qingyan also clicked his tongue in agreement.

He was also dissatisfied, because he couldn't see her when he closed his eyes.

But he obediently closed his eyes, feeling the brush brush across his upper eyelids, and then she seemed to switch to a finer brush to draw.

He heard Xu Zhaozhao exhale softly.

"Okay, open your eyes."

He obediently opened his eyes, and as soon as he did, he saw himself in the mirror.

Xu Zhaozhao stood behind him, also framed in the glasses, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and nervousness.

"It looks great."

Although his eyes hadn't adjusted to the light and his vision was a little blurry, he had already uttered his words of praise.

It's not a perfunctory answer; no matter what form it takes, his answer is always the same.

"Right, I do have a little bit of makeup skill."

Xu Zhaozhao then sat back down on her stool, satisfied.

On her side, she could also see Gu Qingyan in the mirror, admiring her masterpiece.

Gu Qingyan is really fair-skinned.

He applied a highly saturated bright red to his eyelids, drew a fake wound on his right eye, and applied dark red lipstick.

Some red eyeshadow was also applied to the lower eyelid area.

I originally intended to draw a turtle on Gu Qingyan's face and tease him, but I "accidentally" turned him into a very handsome vampire.

She has such a kind heart.

But the next second, Xu Zhaozhao started to feel annoyed again.

This didn't do anything to cover my face!

"Let's not be picky about masks. It would be a waste to cover up such beautiful makeup."

Gu Yulin's voice came through, and Xiao Kai immediately chimed in, "That's right, I am Zun Du No-Face Man!"

These two brief exchanges, however, awakened Xu Zhaozhao.

Why doesn't she just pick out a mask for Gu Qingyan?

So she went to the box full of masks and started picking and choosing.

Xu Zhaozhao quickly found one she liked, and took a white half-butterfly mask, putting it on the side of her face where she wasn't wearing fake injury makeup.

"Absolutely perfect!"

Xu Zhaozhao admired his face and nodded in praise.

Although the mask covered most of his face, it did not diminish his handsomeness; instead, it added a touch of mystery.

As she spoke, she took out another mask from the box, which was the complete version of Gu Qingyan's mask.

The white butterfly mask was chosen by Xu Zhaozhao for herself.

If makeup doesn't work, then let's use a mask.

However, Xu Zhaozhao still asked the makeup artist to give her a heavy eye makeup that was both purple and red.

She hadn't forgotten that people recognized her at a glance, just by looking into her eyes, so it was necessary to cover her eyes.

Then he put on the mask, which covered 60% of his face.

If she goes out now, who will recognize her as Xu Zhaozhao?

She nodded in satisfaction.

The two lively children had also chosen their dentures, and the four of them were all ready to go.

Before leaving, Xu Zhaozhao honestly moved to Gu Qingyan's side and gently wrapped her arms around his hand.

Then he said, "Let's go play."

"Yay!!"

Xiao Kai was the most excited, rushing to the door and saying in a very childish and cringeworthy way: "The vampires are here~!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

After leaving the dressing room, there was a path leading to the city gate, walked only by people who had also come out of the dressing room.

At this point, Xu Zhaozhao was still able to walk and kept mentally preparing herself.

Squeak...

The city gate was opened from the inside, creating a truly immersive experience and revealing a world completely different from the outside.

From a distance, Xu Zhaozhao could still walk, but her steps were much heavier.

Two children ran ahead, while the two adults followed slowly behind, holding hands.

They don't need to run. Children are very curious and often stop in their tracks. As long as they don't disappear from their sight, it's fine.

As the miniature "ghosts" gradually enlarged, Xu Zhaozhao gripped Gu Qingyan's hand even tighter.

To enhance the visitor experience, the city of a hundred ghosts doesn't have many lights.

Each stall only had a small light bulb that could only illuminate a little bit, not to mention the streetlights; there was only one on the whole street.

Squeak...

The city gate behind them was closed, and they were completely inside the City of a Hundred Ghosts.

Xu Zhaozhao's gaze followed Xiao Kai and Gu Yulin as they explored the city with great enthusiasm.

Despite their somewhat bloody and bizarre attire, they weren't afraid; instead, they moved closer to discuss it.

Xiao Kai asked, "Can you eat that fake eyeball?"

"No way, they look like plastic, not sugar beads," Gu Yulin replied.

The next second they discovered something new and interesting, and Xiao Kai pulled Gu Yulin forward.

"Xiao Kai, watch out!"

A scruffy man dressed in tattered beggar's clothes darted past them, muttering to himself.

If Gu Yulin hadn't pulled him back in time, he would have been injured.

He touched his chest with his small hand, "That scared Xiao Kai to death."

Xu Zhaozhao took in all of this and exclaimed, "Baby Fish was so handsome when he protected Xiao Kai!"

Just then, another slovenly ghost crashed into her, moving so fast that it was just a blur.

She was pulled backward by the force, brushed past the slovenly ghost, and bumped into Gu Qingyan's arms.

The evening breeze and his hand stroked her head together, and Xu Zhaozhao heard him say, "I'll protect you too, why don't you call me baby?"
