"This is what I prepared for you. You can wear it anytime." With that, Qiao Xi handed the clothes to her.
Jun Jiuge knew she had promised Qiao Xi yesterday to help her prepare clothes, but what she was wearing now was...
"Thank you." Jun Jiuge took the bag and immediately expressed her gratitude, then said, "I'll go change now, it's inconvenient to wear a skirt."
"No, please!" Qiao Xi quickly stopped her, saying modestly, "I admit my taste isn't as good as yours. This dress suits you perfectly, please don't change it."
Since Jun Jiuge is wearing this dress, it means that she and Yan Luoheng are in a romantic relationship. How could she let her change out of the clothes her boyfriend bought for her?
Seeing Jun Jiuge hesitate, Qiao Xi immediately changed the subject, saying, "I heard that Professor Yan will also be attending the welcome party today."
She really knew how to rub salt in the wound. Perhaps because she saw Jun Jiuge's clothes, she couldn't help but shift the topic to Yan Luoheng.
Just then, Li Xiaoxiao, who was walking over, saw it and shouted back, "I heard about it too!"
“Ninth Master, I almost didn’t recognize you.” Li Xiaoxiao also looked at Jun Jiuge with admiration.
Qiao Xi was a little surprised to see Li Xiaoxiao and couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you going to see your crush?"
"Don't even mention it, it was suddenly rescheduled," Li Xiaoxiao said, looking dejected.
"It's been rescheduled?" Qiao Xi asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yeah." Li Xiaoxiao drooped her head, looking listless.
A multitude of thoughts flashed through Qiao Xi's mind in an instant. She subconsciously looked at Jun Jiuge, and after exchanging a glance with him, it seemed that their thoughts were in sync.
"When will it be rescheduled?" Qiao Xi asked again.
Li Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly and said, "I don't know, it's pending!"
Could it be because...?
The exact reason was hard to guess, so Qiao Xi temporarily put aside her assumptions and comforted Li Xiaoxiao, but her tone was slightly teasing, "It's good. He probably knew that our classmate Li Xiaoxiao had a welcome party to attend today, so he specially changed the date for you."
Obviously, this reason was not convincing to Li Xiaoxiao. She simply wouldn't believe it; all she wanted to do right now was see her crush.
"Alright, it's just a rescheduled date. Since it's a rescheduled date, there will definitely be a specific date. Just wait and see." Qiao Xi continued to comfort her, seeing her dejected appearance.
Li Xiaoxiao had no choice but to endure it; what else could she do?
Qiao Xi once again praised Jun Jiuge, "Isn't it great?"
"Mmm-hmm!" Li Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, agreeing without exaggeration, "This dress suits Ninth Master's temperament perfectly, it's just..."
“It’s still missing a polished makeup look,” Qiao Xi replied instantly, understanding immediately.
Li Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly and offered, "Leave it to me."
“Okay.” Qiao Xi agreed on behalf of Jun Jiuge.
Jun Jiuge quickly refused, "No need, this is fine."
"That won't do." Li Xiaoxiao was eager to make Jun Jiuge the focus of the evening. "Trust me, all you need is a perfect makeup look, and you'll be the most dazzling person there."
“No need,” Jun Jiuge refused again.
Qiao Xi didn't want to let it go like that, so she volunteered, "I'll do it. I haven't put on makeup yet either, let's do it together."
"No..." Jun Jiuge wanted to refuse, but Qiao Xi didn't allow her to refuse and pulled her to the girls' changing room to put on makeup. "Let's go, let's go."
Qiao Xi's makeup skills weren't particularly outstanding; she was good at light makeup, and Jun Jiuge only needed light makeup to adorn herself, as heavy makeup didn't suit her.
It was Qiao Xi's first time doing someone else's makeup, and she was a little excited. When she saw Jun Jiuge with her makeup done in the mirror, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
Jun Jiuge was somewhat surprised when she looked at herself in the mirror, realizing that she rarely wore makeup.
Although she looks good even without makeup, with just a little touch-up, she truly becomes unmatched.
The so-called department beauties and school beauties are nothing compared to her.
When Qiao Xi finished her makeup and appeared in the auditorium with Jun Jiuge, she attracted almost everyone's attention. Both boys and girls stared at them intently.
Whispers rose and fell, "Who's that in the black dress?"
Some people guessed, "It seems to be a design major."
"I don't remember ever seeing her before?" the girl questioned.
Another girl immediately looked at Qiao Xi, "Isn't that Qiao Xi from the design department next to her?"
The girl, reminded by her, suddenly realized and said, "It's Qiao Xi, who used to be last in the finance department but later turned her luck around and went to design."
“Yes,” the other girl nodded.
"How come I never noticed how beautiful she is before?" the girl muttered with envy and jealousy.
Another girl sighed and said, "Sigh, they say a pretty face is just a pretty face, but it seems that a pretty face is full of straw."
"Didn't you see the way those male gods looked at them?" The jealous voices and stares could be heard and seen throughout the auditorium.
Li Xiaoxiao stared at them with wide eyes, and when they came to her side, she instantly felt like she had dropped several levels in status. "My God, what do you two want to do?"
"What's wrong?" Qiao Xi asked, puzzled.
Li Xiaoxiao said with self-consciousness, "Standing with you guys, I feel like a clown."
Qiao Xi chuckled and said, "Li Xiaoxiao, you're exaggerating."
"I'm stating the facts," Li Xiaoxiao said seriously. "Didn't you look in the mirror?"
That's definitely a compliment to them.
Qiao Xi was also captivated by Jun Jiuge's looks; her face had an undeniably sophisticated quality, a beauty unlike any other.
Li Xiaoxiao suddenly smacked her lips and looked Qiao Xi up and down, saying, "But little Xi Xi, aren't you dressed too conservatively?"
As expected of a 'kindred spirit', Qiao Xi had the exact same idea as her, but there was nothing she could do, as it was what her family's Ah Jin had requested, and she could only accept the arrangement.
"I'm afraid of the cold," Qiao Xi replied honestly.
Li Xiaoxiao said with a suspicious look, "There is air conditioning in the auditorium, it won't be cold."
Qiao Xi said seriously again, "During this special period, you still need to pay attention to keeping warm."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao understood what she meant and nodded, "That's true."
The next second, Li Xiaoxiao took small steps and came up to Jun Jiuge, flattering him and said, "Ninth Master, you are no longer just my idol, you are my goddess."
"I, Li Xiaoxiao, have never admired any beautiful woman. You are the first." Li Xiaoxiao meant this from the bottom of her heart.
Qiao Xi jokingly said to Jun Jiuge, "Ninth Master, Li Xiaoxiao has praised you so much, aren't you going to do something in return?"
