Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan nodded. Although they were somewhat unhappy, neither of them held a grudge against Yu Shui.
Seeing the two nod, Yu Shui breathed a sigh of relief and then started talking about her boyfriend.
"As soon as I was able to go out, my mom arranged a blind date for me, saying the woman was beautiful, gentle, and filial. She insisted that I go and meet her. I couldn't refuse, so I went. And guess what happened?"
"What, why don't you tell me?"
"The girl's features were quite delicate, but her complexion was extremely dark, the kind of dark that's really dark."
Yu Shui pointed to her face and said, "I'm already considered dark-skinned, but it's nothing compared to theirs. They're practically blending into the night."
"No way, the girl didn't wear sunscreen?"
"Yes, she did it. She said at first she thought the sunscreen was expired, so she went and bought a big international brand, but it still didn't work."
I've forgotten what I did after that, but anyway, I was sunbathed for a while and ended up looking like a black lump of coal.
"And you, have you talked to her yet?"
Yu Shui shook her head. "Although she used to be quite pretty, after getting tanned, she looks almost like a non-Chinese person. I feel a little scared when I see her."
And you said that during the months of vacation, we stayed at home and couldn't get any sunshine at all. Even when we went to the fields later, everyone was covered up so that the sun couldn't shine directly on us.
If she can't even get her skin white in this situation, then she'll definitely stay this dark forever.
"What if I date her and our child turns out to be black?"
Yu Shui nodded as he spoke, feeling that what he said made a lot of sense. If he had a black child in the future, he really wouldn't be able to love him.
Yu Shui was waiting for others to agree, but after waiting for a long time, he realized that no one spoke up. He looked up at everyone and saw a few "black people" in the corner with angry faces.
Oops, I said the wrong thing again!
Yu Shui awkwardly slapped herself twice. "Sorry, sorry, I misspoke. I just... I just..."
Yu Shui was so anxious that she didn't know what to say. Then, when she saw Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, she looked at them as if they were her saviors and said, "I just want to have a child like them. Look at them, they don't get tanned."
The innocent couple, caught in the crossfire, were speechless once again. Facing everyone's gazes, Shen Yanming sighed, pointed to his face, and said, "This is what you call not dark?"
"Are you criticizing Qiao An or not!"
"Qiao An hasn't been exposed to the sun much; her skin is still pink and hasn't recovered yet!"
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, someone with sharp eyes pointed at Shen Yanming's hands and said, "Your hands are so white!"
Sigh, it can't be hidden anymore!
Shen Yanming simply showed it to everyone openly, "Want to know why?"
Shen Yanming noticed that not only Yu Shui nodded, but the girls in the office and the several male colleagues who were tanned dark were also staring intently at him.
"It's just 'energy rain,' which can whiten the skin!"
The answer was surprisingly simple, but Yu Shui still asked, "Since you two have discovered the secret to whitening, why don't you get your faces treated?"
Are you stupid?
Shen Yan understood Yu Shui's words and said, "You even noticed that my hands turned white. If my face goes back to normal, won't I be treated like a monkey and stared at?"
Besides, who knows if my face will just turn white again after being exposed to the sun?
“Okay, you have a point, but I still want to be whiter,” Yu Shui said.
The male colleagues who had just been hurt by Yu Shui also nodded.
Seeing this, Qin Yiren opened her drawer, took out a few compressed face masks and threw them to them, saying, "Go back and soak them in the Energy Rainwater, then apply them to your faces."
Qin Yiren wasn't afraid of offending anyone. "You guys try it first and set an example for everyone. If it really works, we can all become fair-skinned too. Ugh, this skin tone is really unbearable."
Qin Yiren glanced at her hands with disdain; she had never seen them so dark before.
The people in the office didn't mind and chuckled as they put away the compressed face masks.
Wei Qin looked at Yu Shui and asked with a smile, "Now that we have a solution, are you still going to look down on that girl?"
“I don’t mind her. I’m just afraid of having a black baby. But it’s too late to regret it now. I’ve already made things clear to her.”
Wei Qin shook her head. "That's a real pity. Those of you who aren't married should hurry up. The times aren't good these days, and the standards for finding a partner are changing all the time."
If you don't pay more attention, you'll either end up single, or you'll be left with nothing but scraps.
"Sis, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't you know that the most popular qualities in the marriage market now have changed from owning a car and a house to owning land and food? Now, add skin color to the mix, and think about how competitive you are."
Upon hearing this, Yu Shui couldn't help but swear, "Damn it, I've gone from a golden bachelor to a leftover man who can't find a wife?"
"What else did you think? My neighbor's daughter just got her marriage certificate a couple of days ago and married a family in Liugang Village, Chuan County."
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Wei Qin continued, "It's actually quite normal to marry into the village, right? But that girl married into a family to be a stepmother. The family has two sons, the older one is already ten years old."
She only married into the family because they owned a lot of land.
Yu Shui was stunned after hearing this. "Then, should I go and win that girl back?"
"Haha, look at you! Otherwise, we could just find someone within our company. Look how many pretty girls are around you!"
After hearing this, Yu Shui actually looked around. Xia Ran, Qin Yiren, Ye Xiaoxiao, and Li Yueya all seemed to be single, but when she looked over, their gazes were somewhat evasive.
The only one staring intently at him was Michelle. Yu Shui felt a wave of nausea. He would rather be naked than be with someone like Michelle.
Seeing the water quickly pass by her, Michelle wiped away her tears with a sense of grievance. Her situation at home had been quite difficult these past few months.
Just as Wei Qin said, if she can't find a partner soon, her family will arrange for her to go on a blind date with an old man from the countryside.
She looked up at Shen Yanming, who was pouring water for his wife, not sparing a single glance at her.
Ultimately, it didn't belong to her, Michelle chuckled self-deprecatingly. It seemed she needed to find someone soon.
However, she doesn't care about wealth; she just wants to find someone handsome and rich.
Yu Shui ignored the stares of others, simply stood up with a smile, and said to everyone, "Girls here, please consider me! Although I have little land and food, and can be quite eccentric at times, I'm a very considerate person!"
