Liu Zi looked her up and down; there were still some details that needed to be addressed.
She had someone sit down in a chair, first putting on a neat, flowing wig for him, then using hair clips to create a loose hairstyle.
"I'll do your makeup. Remember the steps in a bit. The method might be different from what you learned, but it suits your face better." Liu Zi took out a few small items from her bag.
"Your faces are quite dry from the northwest wind and sun, so you need to moisturize before applying makeup. Just apply more face oil and pat it in gently."
As Liu Zi applied his makeup, she explained to him why it was used in this way.
In her previous life, she had been immersed in the entertainment industry for almost twenty years, so applying makeup was as easy as drinking water for her.
Finally, Liu Zi first applied her own light-colored lipstick as a base, then layered the plum red lipstick brought by her teacher on the inner side of her lips, and then pressed her lips together. Her complexion looked fantastic.
Liu Zi circled the young soldier and felt very good. As long as he didn't speak, no one would think of him as a soldier.
"Stand up straight! Look in the mirror, don't you think I look the most beautiful today!" Liu Zi encouraged the young soldier to have confidence.
Liu Zi even taught the other person how to walk the catwalk on the spot.
"Yes, that's it. Relax, don't twist deliberately, and let your pelvis be in a very comfortable position." Liu Zi also played some soft music for him on her Walkman, letting him step to the beat to find the feeling.
Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the makeup class classroom.
Liu Zi poked her head in and said, "I'm so sorry! My makeup skills are so-so, I didn't do a very good job on Xiao Xu. Luckily, my friend Morika is in Anshi, so I asked her to come and help. Don't worry, she's a professional makeup artist."
Liu Zi looked very serious, and everyone believed her. They couldn't understand why the brigade would let someone with a foreign name in.
Before anyone could ask any questions, Liu Zi stepped aside and ushered the person inside.
The people in the classroom were stunned at first, then gasped in disbelief. It was so beautiful!
It was the teacher on the stage who reacted first and noticed something amiss, since the clothes this person was wearing were ones she had brought.
As expected of the top soldiers in the military region, they regained their composure in an instant, frowning and refusing to say another word.
Seeing this, Liu Zi smiled slightly and turned to ask the teacher for his opinion.
"Absolutely perfect!"
"Ouch, I'm exhausted, teacher, can I change my shoes?" Xiao Xu felt like her feet were about to be crushed.
The familiar male voice made everyone freeze for a moment, then they all realized what it meant.
"Xu Zhiyi, so it's you!"
"Hahaha!"
"This is so beautiful!"
"This is incredible, how did they manage to make it like this?"
...
The classroom immediately erupted in excitement, with everyone pushing forward to get a closer look.
Suddenly, the classroom door was pushed open, and the brigade leader and political commissar stood at the door with angry expressions.
The two men were checking on the students' class attendance when the shouts that erupted in the classroom drew their attention.
The young soldiers, who had just been laughing and joking, now all had serious faces and stood up straight.
Just as the teacher was about to explain, Liu Zi pulled her back.
She winked at the teacher, then said to the regimental commander and political commissar, "Commander, I've asked my friend Morika to come over and teach everyone the latest Hong Kong and Taiwan makeup techniques."
"Quickly! Morika, greet the two leaders."
Xu Zhiyi reacted very quickly. He flirtatiously tossed his hair and waved to the two of them.
He always remembered Liu Zi saying that he should try not to speak and reveal his identity.
The battalion commander was furious and almost wanted to kick Liu Zi out of the camp.
It was Political Commissar Tang who noticed the odd expressions on everyone's faces and stopped them in time.
"What exactly happened?" Political Commissar Tang asked seriously.
"Report! I am Xu Zhiyi!"
The stunningly beautiful woman who had been alluring just moments before now spoke in a rough male voice, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
The battalion commander and political commissar were stunned on the spot.
After regaining his senses, the captain circled Xu Zhiyi twice and asked excitedly, "Who did this?"
"Me!" Liu Zi answered, raising her arm.
"Our Comrade Liu is so amazing! This can't be called a face swap, it should be called a body swap!" The captain thought even more. If a hostage situation were to occur, having Xu Zhiyi change clothes and go in to deliver food or medicine might just be the key to victory.
"I'm not some Nuwa, I don't have that kind of power. I just went to Hong Kong a few months ago to broaden my horizons." Liu Zi still remembered the captain's murderous look.
"Our little Liu is truly multi-talented! She can play the piano, write articles, and even her makeup skills are amazing!" Political Commissar Tang noticed that Liu Zi was a little bothered, so he quickly flattered her.
"Political Commissar, stop praising me. You're going to exaggerate. I just thought that Xiao Xu was more suited to the makeup style I learned. I don't know much about it, and I don't have the same knowledge as my teacher. I was just showing off my limited skills." Liu Zi should be humble, after all, she had taken up the teacher's class time.
"That's great, no need to refuse. If Teacher Liu has time, could you give us a lesson?" As expected of an old partner, the captain immediately followed up with his request after understanding the political commissar's meaning.
Liu Zi was in a dilemma. The teacher was still standing there. Wasn't she trying to steal someone's job and offend them?
"Comrade Xiao Liu, when are you planning to teach? I can bring my own teaching materials." Even the teacher switched sides and wanted to come and observe the class.
Liu Zi smiled wryly, "They're really forcing me into this!"
She only knows how to use makeup techniques that match her face style; she's really not good at anything else.
Finally, having no other choice, Liu Zi prepared to teach everyone simple makeup techniques and how to dress, and only then did everyone let her go.
The time was set for two days later, and Liu Zi hurriedly made a phone call to seek help.
Fortunately, Wang Yan worked in Anshi. After explaining his needs to the other party, Wang Yan assured him that he would handle it.
Before half a day had passed, someone informed Liu Zi that someone was looking for her outside the door.
When Liu Zi arrived at the gate, she saw Wang Yan pulling a suitcase, hiding in a corner, his hair blown around like a madman by the strong wind.
"Thank you so much! It's such a big thank you for coming all this way."
"Sister Liu, you're here. What brings you to Anshi? And why are you here again?" Wang Yan was completely confused. They had just met in Beijing. Had Sister Liu come to join the army?
"I came here to gather material; you forgot what I told you, I was planning to write a military-themed TV series."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan nearly jumped three feet high.
At the time, he was worried that he might not be able to compete with the publishers in Beijing, but now that the source material for this work comes from Anshi, it's much easier to handle things on their turf.
