Chapter 251 Makeup
The breath was slightly hot, and Ren Limeng moved her lips. At this moment, when their eyes met, she actually didn't know what to say. With her heart beating disorderly, Ren Limeng lowered her eyes slightly, and suddenly her gaze fell on the side of Shen Xingzhi's face.
Ren Limeng's right hand suddenly touched Chen Xingzhi's left cheek. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and her eyes finally concealed all the rare panic and confusion. She smiled again, "Brother Xingzhi, let me help you touch up your makeup!"
"Um……?"
Chen Xingzhi's eyes swept across Ren Limeng's cheeks, which were tinged with red. His pair of black eyes flowed in the intertwined shadows of the two people, but they were still shining brightly. The tip of Chen Xingzhi's nose gently swept across Ren Limeng with a slightly raised movement, and his left hand had unknowingly slowly covered Ren Limeng's right wrist.
Ren Limeng's nonsensical suggestion made Shen Xingzhi's face subconsciously reveal a hint of doubt, but he still just looked at Ren Limeng quietly with rare patience.
Feeling the burning heat on her wrist, Ren Limeng tried hard to ignore the strange feeling in her heart. She raised her hand, lightly touched a certain spot on Shen Xingzhi's left cheek with her fingertips, and lowered her head slightly.
"There seems to be a lipstick mark of mine here."
Her voice was soft but with a hint of playfulness. Besides shyness, it was more of a teasing that made people want to tease her. Perhaps she was the one being described as a loser. Her eyes moved and Ren Limeng's lips curved up unconsciously.
As she spoke coquettishly, her soft fingertips quickly swept across Shen Xingzhi's cheek, gently circling again and again, as if she was applying blush cream for Shen Xingzhi.
Shen Xingzhi paused slightly when he grabbed Ren Limeng's wrist. He was still holding Ren Limeng loosely, but his eyelids trembled slightly. Even if he didn't want to admit it, it seemed that Ren Limeng had taken over his position.
It was he whose heart was beating faster at the moment, and perhaps it was not just him.
Following Ren Limeng's serious and gentle movements, neither of them spoke again. Time seemed to slow down at this moment. The quiet dressing room was filled with a tranquility that belonged only to the two of them, mixed with an unconcealable ambiguity and intimacy.
After a long time, or perhaps just a moment, Ren Limeng's spinning movements gradually slowed down. Shen Xingzhi suddenly raised his eyes, his deep eyes were deep and bright, "Is it finished?"
Ren Limeng lowered her eyes and nodded gently. Just as she was about to retract her right hand, the warm touch on her wrist suddenly became hard. She subconsciously looked at Shen Xingzhi, but happened to bump into his cold face filled with smile.
"Mengmeng, this is not professional."
Shen Xingzhi's voice was lazily spoken, and at such a close distance, Ren Limeng's ears felt numb. She didn't immediately understand what Shen Xingzhi said, and blinked lightly, thinking about it. The next moment, she suddenly felt a forward force coming from her right wrist, causing her to lean forward unconsciously.
Chen Xingzhi tightened his grip, grabbed Ren Limeng's wrist, and slowly tilted her towards his chest. He smiled softly, his soft, hoarse voice close to Ren Limeng's round, full ear, with a hint of temptation, "Only put on makeup on one side? Hmm?"
“Hmm…”
Ren Limeng blinked very quickly, but the cold breath in her ears was still hot.
The makeup must be symmetrical, of course, but... she is not specifically touching up Shen Xingzhi's makeup now. When did Shen Xingzhi... become so good at this!
She just thought she had finally gotten the upper hand!
Sure enough, some things can be learned without a teacher!
Ren Limeng secretly took a deep breath, trying her best to hide her skipped heartbeat, but under Chen Xingzhi's thin lips and slightly pursed ears, she felt an unconscious warmth that was as hot as fire. All Ren Limeng could maintain was to force herself to remain calm.
She raised her head, raised her eyebrows slightly, and gently stroked Shen Xingzhi's flawless right cheek with her left hand. Feeling the same soft touch of her fingertips, Ren Limeng slowly tilted her head, "Brother Xingzhi, do you know how to put on makeup?"
The question with some double meanings made Shen Xing pause. He curled his lips slightly and moved closer to Ren Limeng again, "No one understands as well as us."
"Oh? I think your makeup looks great now. You can go to the recording right away."
Chen Xingzhi rarely wore makeup when recording the show, and at most just applied basic sunscreen. But even at this close moment, Ren Limeng could not find any flaws on Chen Xingzhi's fair and smooth skin, as if the face in front of her was already perfect enough and flawless. The only flaw... might be the light blush she had just applied.
Fortunately, her lipstick color today was not too strong, and the kiss was so light that the low-saturation rose bean paste color added a touch of touching magic to Shen Xingzhi's face. At least Ren Limeng's heartbeat would accelerate involuntarily when she stared at him.
Even at this moment, Ren Limeng did not look at Shen Xingzhi's cheek when she spoke. She tilted her head slightly, with a knowing smile in her eyes.
"Oh well."
Shen Xingzhi waited quietly for another half a minute, until Ren Limeng finally raised her head and met his deep, sparkling black eyes again. He raised his eyelids slightly, lengthened the tone of his voice, smiled with some regret, and leaned forward to distance himself from Ren Limeng.
Chen Xingzhi seemed to respect Ren Limeng's innocent and stupid behavior of asking questions despite knowing the answer, but also seemed to have a slight sense of grievance in retreating in order to advance.
Even though she could recognize Shen Xingzhi's deliberate indifference, Ren Limeng's heart softened all of a sudden, or perhaps she had already made up her mind since she opened her mouth just now.
As Shen Xingzhi's left hand gradually loosened, Ren Limeng held Shen Xingzhi with her right hand. Just like Shen Xingzhi just now, she exerted a little force and pulled Shen Xingzhi towards her.
"Although it's good, touch-ups naturally need to be done perfectly."
Ren Limeng smiled and spoke softly. She didn't know whether her strength was greater than she thought, or whether Shen Xingzhi was too cooperative, but Shen Xingzhi almost fell towards her immediately, which made the cheek kiss she had originally prepared for just as lightly turn into a deep imprint.
Ren Limeng's actions were full of unhesitating determination and deep possessiveness, as if in this way, Ren Limeng had put an exclusive mark on her boyfriend.
When they separated, Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi's breathing seemed particularly heavy and long in the quiet room. Although they did not kiss, there was still a depth in their eyes as if there was only each other.
Ren Limeng couldn't help but tilt her head slightly. She wanted to speak again calmly, but Shen Xingzhi had already taken the lead and hugged her in his arms. He asked softly, "Mengmeng, what do your uncle and aunt say about our matter? Do you really not need me to say hello to them via video first?"
During lunch today, Ren Limeng had already sent a WeChat message to Shen Xingzhi, saying that she had decided to confess to her parents before making it public, and to tell Ren Shunan and Wu Murong that she was in a relationship.
In the past two days, the program recording and handling of public opinion have basically occupied all of Ren Limeng's time and energy. She really has no extra energy to deal with other things, but after repeated consideration, confessing to her parents is still firmly on Ren Limeng's must-do list.
Due to the guests' requests and the need for program preparation, the time for touch-up after dinner is always very long. Ren Limeng opened the Weibo hot search again after communicating with her parents. She wanted to pay attention to the real-time changes in public opinion and also to use this to suppress her own fluctuating emotions.
Chen Xingzhi just came in when Ren Limeng was browsing Weibo, and the most important reason why he came to find Ren Limeng was actually because Ren Limeng confessed the matter to her parents.
Shen Xingzhi's question made Ren Limeng unconsciously recall what had just happened, and a complicated look appeared on her face.
"They...know."
According to Chen Xingzhi's original suggestion, he hoped that Ren Limeng could inform Wu Murong and Ren Shunan through video, so that he could participate and accompany them throughout the process, take the initiative to apologize to Ren Limeng's parents, and express his sincerity to go to Mei City to meet Ren Limeng's parents immediately after the show.
Ren Limeng rejected Shen Xingzhi's plan. She just asked briefly in the WeChat family group at noon.
Ren Limeng: Mom and Dad, do you have a moment? I want to tell you something.
Both Wu Murong and Ren Shunan responded quickly, answering "What's wrong" almost within a minute, as if they were right in front of their phones, rather than just using smartphones as their communication tools as usual.
Ren Limeng: I...
Ren Limeng stared at the chat box and deleted and reduced the words, and finally sent out only a simple statement.
Ren Limeng: I am in a relationship and I will probably announce it on Weibo this evening. I’m telling you guys in advance so don’t be too surprised.
As an adult in her thirties, Ren Limeng felt that there was nothing strange about her being in a relationship, and there was no need to report it to her parents. If it weren't for the Weibo post that Wu Murong took the initiative to send last night, Ren Limeng wouldn't even have mentioned it to her parents specifically.
After the message was sent, there was no new message from her parents that responded immediately on the screen like before. Ren Limeng pursed her lips slightly, staring at the words she had sent with an indecipherable expression. She felt that her confession was a bit stiff, but the fact was that her feelings had not been strong enough for many years. No matter how eloquent she was, facing the phone at this moment, there seemed to be no better response.
Thinking about it carefully, even before the college entrance examination, her life was mostly just training day after day and one game after another. Outside the stage, she rarely recalled the scenes of her time with her parents.
Some things don't need to be forced. Ren Limeng no longer worried about how she got along with her parents. Just as she was about to exit the chat interface, she suddenly saw a new prompt pop up.
Dad: Mengmeng, when did you start dating? You should really consider this at your age. That's great. Dad supports you!
Dad: Is the other person also in the entertainment industry? How old is he?
Dad: How did you meet? Remember when we asked you about it during Chinese New Year, you said you were single. Did you just start dating recently? Are you also an only child?
…
Ren Limeng saw clearly the series of questions from her father Ren Shunan and was about to answer the key points, but suddenly she saw another WeChat avatar pop up at the bottom. It was a new message sent by her mother Wu Murong in the group, which directly interrupted Ren Shunan who was chattering about his old father.
