Lan Xiaolan felt a little shy when she saw this lovely middle-aged aunt happily circling around her, not knowing how to respond to her sudden enthusiasm.
"Good morning!"
When you meet a stranger for the first time and don’t know what to say, there is absolutely nothing wrong with greeting them politely.
"Okay, okay, good girl, good morning." Aunt Rong said as she pulled Lan Xiaolan to sit at the dining table next to them.
"Come on, come on, sit down. I'll make you something delicious right away."
Lan Xiaolan immediately stood up and went back to the kitchen: "How about I do it with you?"
"Oh, no, no," Aunt Rong waved her hand again and refused, "It's okay, I can do it myself. Just sit down and you'll have something delicious to eat soon."
"No, no, no, let me help..." Before Lan Xiaolan could finish her words, she was pulled back by a strong arm.
"Don't make trouble here. Aunt Rong cooks better than you." Ren Tingxi took her hand, pulled her into his arms, and looked at her tenderly.
Aunt Rong saw this scene between the young couple and laughed secretly with her hands covering her mouth.
"Do you still have time to tinker with these things? Take a look at that." Ren Tingxi glanced at the floor clock in the living room and motioned Lan Xiaolan to take a look.
Lan Xiaolan saw it and shuddered with fear: "Oh, it's so late, I'm doomed. I need to change my clothes quickly, otherwise I'll be late."
After saying that, he ran towards the room in a panic.
Aunt Rong looked at Ren Tingxi who was left alone, blinked her eyes, and tapped Ren Tingxi's head gently with the cucumber in her hand.
"Isn't this the girl in the photo? You're amazing, boy! How far have you two come?"
Ren Tingxi shrugged his bare shoulders and smiled proudly: "What level? It's just this level." His face was full of confidence and satisfaction.
While changing her clothes, Lan Xiaolan leaned out of the door and shouted, "Tingxi, go wash up quickly, or you'll be late for the press conference."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
"Auntie Rong, we still have to go to work. Don't make breakfast too complicated. Just cook some noodles."
"No, today is Mid-Autumn Festival, don't you have a day off? The master and the mistress even asked me to come here specifically to invite you back for a family dinner tonight."
Ren Tingxi left while shaking his hand: "No, whoever wants to go can go."
Back in the room, Ren Tingxi saw Lan Xiaolan had changed into that French black dress. After so many years, the dress still fit her well.
Wearing this dress, she seemed to have returned to the way she was 8 years ago.
The cut of the skirt fits the curves of her body, showing off her graceful figure, which makes people fall in love with her.
The black fabric is as smooth as silk and exudes a faint luster, giving people a sense of calm and nobility.
The neckline design is unique and slightly open, revealing fair skin and delicate collarbone, adding a touch of sexiness and charm.
A thin belt was tied around her waist, which made her slender waist more charming.
With a pair of high heels, the whole person exudes confidence and charm, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
Ren Tingxi was so engrossed in watching that he forgot everything else.
"Do you have a comb at home?" She was combing her long hair with her bare hands. Lan Xiaolan's hair was very long, completely covering her waist.
Ren Tingxi walked over slowly, took out an exquisitely packed gift box, opened its outer packaging, and took out an exquisite box from it.
"This is silk cloth," Lan Xiaolan gently touched the outer packaging of the box. "And it's made of mulberry silk. The jacquard pattern on it is Suzhou embroidery."
"You understand quite well."
"The study of fabrics and embroidery also falls within my professional scope."
Ren Tingxi smiled gently: "I wonder if the things inside are within your area of expertise."
Ren Tingxi opened the box. There were four layers in total, and the double doors at the back could be opened. After opening them, a complete mirror could be seen.
This turned out to be a complete makeup box, containing all the cosmetics and skin care products you might need.
Moreover, each tool has its own unique carved design. It can be seen that this set of makeup boxes is carefully selected and expensive.
Lan Xiaolan recognized few of the things in here. After all, she never wore makeup and never went out with makeup on.
When working in the research institute, the powder of cosmetics may fall onto the cultural relics and cause contamination, so Lan Xiaolan does not wear makeup when working in the research institute.
If you are working in the wild, there is no need to wear makeup. Who would dress up to dig ancient tombs?
Lan Xiaolan took out the comb from inside and said, "I only know how to use this." Then she began to comb her hair.
"Soon, reporters from several TV stations and media professionals from all major platforms will be here to do interviews. With so many people watching, shouldn't you dress up?"
Lan Xiaolan shook her head: "But I don't know how to do these. It would be embarrassing if I make things worse."
Ren Tingxi touched her young and unkempt face: "It's okay, I can do it."
"What? Are you going to put makeup on me?"
“Is this thing difficult?”
"But you're a boy."
"So what! Makeup is simply the process of using special products or tools to depict, render, modify, and arrange specific parts of a person's facial features according to their specific characteristics."
"Is this thing harder than drawing those blueprints?"
