Lian Jia was surprised that Xia Qingqing was so powerful. She was actually a little scared when that man was about to rush up, but Xia Qingqing kicked him away with one kick.
"Of course! Otherwise, how could I dare to sleep outside in the middle of the night? With Qingqing with us, we're perfectly safe," Zhou Wei said with a smile, her tone full of pride.
Lian Jia glared at her: "Why didn't you tell me sooner? I was so worried just now."
"You're worried, yet you're still so headstrong?" Zhou Wei smiled helplessly.
Lian Jia shrugged: "What else can I do? If I show weakness, they'll just take advantage of me."
Xia Qingqing nodded in agreement: "That's true. Bad people won't let you go just because you're weak. They'll just think you're easier to bully. But it's okay to show weakness when you can't guarantee your safety. In situations like just now, it's best not to get off the bus if you don't have any fighting power."
"Yes, I know. But Qingqing, did you study martial arts? That's amazing!" Lian Jia's eyes sparkled, looking like a little fangirl.
Xia Qingqing smiled and said, "I haven't really studied it. I'm probably just naturally strong."
Lian Jia thought she was being too modest: "That kick just now was absolutely bursting with boyfriend power."
She announced that Xia Qingqing would be her new idol, and she would be Xia Qingqing's number one fan.
"I'm so sleepy. It's only a little past five o'clock. Shall we sleep a little longer?" Zhou Wei yawned, covering her mouth.
Four hours later, the three of them got up again, found a restaurant nearby to fill their stomachs, and then went back to the beach to play.
The beach was already quite crowded, bustling and noisy.
Xia Qingqing's eyes lit up when she saw people riding jet skis on the sea: "Wow, that looks so cool, I want to ride one too!"
“These are usually rented. I’ll go ask them where to rent one and I’ll rent one for you,” Lian Jia offered.
"Jiajia, you're so thoughtful, thank you!" Xia Qingqing smiled and blew Lian Jia a kiss.
Lian Jia patted her cheeks shyly: "You're welcome."
......
Xia Qingqing and her friends spent three days in the seaside city.
The next morning, we even tried beachcombing. As the sun rose, the orange sunlight shone on the sea, making the entire sea surface glow golden.
They were lucky enough to find half a bucket of seafood, which they took to the restaurant and had the chef cook them a seafood feast.
After exploring the surrounding area, they set off for other cities.
The road trip lasted for a month. In the end, Lian Jia suffered from acclimatization problems at high altitude and had to be hospitalized for an IV drip. That's when they had to temporarily stop the trip and fly back home.
Lian Jia looked at her skin, which had become several shades darker from the sun, and then at Zhou Wei and Xia Qingqing, and tears of envy streamed down her face.
"Why is it that you two don't get tanned even though we're both sunbathing? What's worse is that you don't even use face masks, yet your skin is better than mine, even though I use face masks every day. Is there any justice in this world?!"
"Haha, maybe it's because we're naturally beautiful?" Zhou Wei said playfully.
Of course, it's impossible for her to be naturally beautiful. The reason she doesn't get tanned is mainly because she took the beauty potion that Xia Qingqing gave her. Otherwise, she might be even darker than Lian Jia now.
It's a pity that she's already used up the beauty potion Xia Qingqing gave her, otherwise she could have shared some with Lian Jia.
Xia Qingqing noticed Lian Jia's envious look and said with a smile, "I bought a toner before and it was pretty good, but it didn't have a brand. If you don't mind, I can give you a bottle."
“Really? I don’t mind at all,” Lian Jia said excitedly.
After saying that, she became a little embarrassed and said with a blush, "Qingqing, why don't you tell me where you bought it, and I can go buy it myself?"
“This is purely handmade, and the production volume is very small. I’ll just bring you a bottle tomorrow,” Xia Qingqing said.
Lian Jia hugged her tightly, moved, saying, "Waaah, Qingqing, you're so good to me, I love you so much."
After spending more than a month together, Lian Jia and Xia Qingqing's relationship has grown rapidly. Sometimes, their close bond even makes Zhou Wei jealous.
The next day, Xia Qingqing gave Lian Jia a bottle of diluted beauty potion.
It wasn't that she was stingy and unwilling to use good products for Lian Jia; it was mainly that the effects of the beauty potion were quite amazing, and modern skincare products couldn't achieve that level.
To avoid arousing Lian Jia's suspicion, she deliberately diluted the beauty serum, achieving the whitening effect without being too exaggerated.
Lian Jia carefully took the transparent glass bottle and asked in confusion, "Qingqing, is this the toner you were talking about?"
Although she already knew it was entirely handmade, wasn't this bottle a bit too rudimentary? It looked like a cheap, unbranded product.
If it weren't for Xia Qingqing's great skin, she really wouldn't dare to use it; ruining her skin would be no joke.
“Yes, don’t let its unassuming packaging fool you, it’s really effective. Try it for two days and you’ll definitely be satisfied with the results,” Xia Qingqing said with a smile.
Lian Jia nodded vigorously: "Okay, I believe you."
That evening, Lian Jia followed the steps Xia Qingqing had taught her, soaking a compressed facial mask in toner and applying it to her face for ten minutes.
After applying the mask, she felt that her face did look a little whiter, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
When you apply a face mask, your skin gets plenty of moisture, and the light reflects off your face more, making your skin appear bright and white, but it doesn't actually become whiter.
She applied the compress for three days in a row, and even during meals, her mother's eyes would occasionally sweep across her daughter's face.
"Mom, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?" Lian Jia said, touching her face with some unease.
Even her mother nodded, then shook her head: "Nothing, but what have you been doing these past two days? Why is your face so pale?"
Upon hearing this, Lian Jia opened her eyes wide with surprise and asked, "Has it really turned whiter? I thought it was just my imagination."
“You’ve really gotten fairer. When you came back a few days ago, you were even darker than your dad. Now you’re at least a shade lighter than him,” Mom said with a smile.
Lian Jia smiled and said, "Qingqing really didn't lie to me. That toner is amazing."
Even Mom asked curiously, "What kind of toner are you talking about? Is that the one that made your face whiter? What brand is it? I want to buy a few bottles to try."
“It was a gift from my friend. He said it was a custom-made piece that you can’t buy anywhere else,” Lian Jia said proudly.
Even the mother rolled her eyes, looked at her daughter with a smile, and said, "Jiajia, can you share half a bottle with Mommy?"
