Chapter 24 Meeting
She looked in the mirror, gently brushed a stray strand of hair from her temples with her fingers, and nodded in satisfaction.
In terms of makeup, she still opted for a light and natural look.
I applied a thin layer of primer to make my skin tone look more even;
I drew a light inner eyeliner to make my eyes look more vibrant;
After applying a layer of lengthening mascara, my eyelashes became long and curled, like two small fans;
Finally, she chose a peach-scented lip gloss and gently applied it to her lips, making them look moist, plump, and naturally pink.
After tidying up, Su Jiaojiao picked up her small, off-white chain bag.
Inside were my phone, wallet, and a spare lip gloss.
She checked the time; it was already 7:30.
I arranged to meet Ms. Su Yue at 8:00 AM. The coffee shop is about a 20-minute taxi ride from her house, so leaving now is just right.
She dragged the small suitcase she had packed yesterday, gently closed the door, and walked out of the yard.
Just as I reached the alley entrance, I ran into my neighbor, Grandma Zhang, who was returning from her morning exercise.
When Grandma Zhang saw her, her eyes lit up, and she quickly went over to her:
"Jiaojiao's back? She's only been gone a few days, how come she's gotten even more beautiful?"
Su Jiaojiao smiled and called out softly:
Hello, Grandma Zhang!
Her voice was sweet and soft, like a spring breeze rippling across a lake.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Grandma Zhang smiled and agreed, reaching out to pat her head, but then hesitated to mess up her hair.
"This child is not only good-looking, but also has such a sweet voice."
Go quickly, and be careful on the road.
"Thank you, Grandma Zhang, I will."
Su Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, then turned and walked to the roadside.
She had just stopped when a taxi slowly pulled up. She gestured, and the taxi stopped in front of her.
The driver rolled down the window and stared wide-eyed the moment he saw Su Jiaojiao.
He stood there stunned for several seconds before he reacted and quickly opened the car door:
"Little girl, where are you going?"
"Please go to the 'Encounter' café in the city center."
Su Jiaojiao thanked her softly and bent down to sit in the back seat.
As soon as she sat down, the driver couldn't help but steal glances at her in the rearview mirror, his eyes filled with amazement.
"The little girl is so pretty, she looks like a movie star."
The driver couldn't help but praise him, his tone full of sincerity.
Su Jiaojiao's cheeks flushed slightly as she whispered:
"Thank you, Master."
The car slowly started moving and drove along the street.
Su Jiaojiao leaned against the car window, watching the scenery flash by outside.
The streets of my hometown are quiet, lined with tall sycamore trees whose leaves are already turning yellow. Occasionally, a few leaves drift down, swirling as they land on the ground.
As the car entered the city center, the flow of people gradually increased.
Tuanzi's voice excitedly rang in her mind:
"Host! Host! The rate of people turning their heads to look at us is skyrocketing!"
That young man on the bicycle almost crashed into a telephone pole!
And that lady selling breakfast, she dropped her fried dough sticks on the ground!
Su Jiaojiao sighed helplessly in her heart:
"Tuanzi, stop staring at these things."
The words had barely left her lips when the car stopped at a traffic light. In the adjacent lane, in a white sedan, the girl in the passenger seat was holding her phone up to her, whispering to the boy in the driver's seat:
"Honey, look! That girl is so pretty! Even prettier than a celebrity!"
The boy looked in the direction she pointed.
Upon seeing Su Jiaojiao, her eyes lit up, and she quickly took out her phone.
He wanted to take a picture but was afraid of being presumptuous, so after hesitating for a long time, he put down his phone, only keeping peeking at her through the crack in the car window.
Su Jiaojiao noticed their gazes and simply smiled politely at them.
That smile, with its curved eyebrows and eyes, was as sweet as honey.
The young couple were stunned until the light turned green and the cars behind them honked, at which point they finally reacted.
The taxi continued on its way, and similar scenes were commonplace along the way.
Pedestrians on the street, shop assistants in stores, and drivers—anyone who sees Su Jiaojiao will instinctively stop or slow down, their eyes glued to her, filled with amazement and admiration.
A few of the bolder girls even chased after the taxi for a couple of steps.
I wanted to say hello to her, but I was afraid of bothering her.
The little dumpling excitedly counted in her mind:
"Host! Host!"
My heart was racing at 150 beats per minute just now because of that little girl in the school uniform!
And that gentleman in the suit secretly took a picture of you, affection points +5! That flower girl wanted to give you a bouquet of roses, affection points +3! Now your affection points have increased by another 18 points, totaling 38,000,018 points!
Su Jiaojiao rubbed her temples, already used to this kind of attention.
But I still felt a little uncomfortable.
She took out her phone, pretending to check messages, trying to avoid those direct stares.
Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of the "Encounter" coffee shop.
Su Jiaojiao paid the fare and thanked the driver.
He pushed open the car door and got out.
The moment she stood still, the two greeters at the coffee shop entrance were stunned.
They had seen all sorts of beautiful women, but none like Su Jiaojiao.
Her beauty is not the aggressive kind.
Instead, it is gentle and soft, like a spring breeze or a drizzle, making people feel an irresistible fondness for it.
Welcome!
One of the hostesses realized what was happening and quickly said something, her voice trembling slightly.
Su Jiaojiao smiled at them and said softly:
"Thanks"
Her smile was like a warm ray of sunshine, instantly dispelling the greeter's nervousness.
She walked into the coffee shop; there weren't many customers inside.
But as soon as she entered, almost all eyes were on her.
Window seat
A man who was talking business with a client almost knocked over his coffee cup;
At the counter, the barista, who was preparing coffee, suddenly trembled.
Coffee was spilled all over the floor;
In the corner, several girls who were reading put down their books and whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with envy and admiration.
Su Jiaojiao lowered her head slightly and walked quickly into the depths of the coffee shop.
She remembered that Master Su Yue had said she was waiting for her in the VIP booth by the window.
Walk to the booth
She saw a woman in a black suit sitting there, holding a document and seemingly reading it. The woman looked to be around twenty-five years old, with a capable demeanor, exquisite makeup, and an aura of a strong woman. She must be Su Yue.
Su Jiaojiao took a deep breath, stepped forward, and called out softly:
"Hello, Master Su Yue, I am Su Jiaojiao."
Su Yue raised her head
The moment his gaze fell on Su Jiaojiao, his pupils contracted sharply, and he almost dropped the document in his hand.
She's been in the live streaming industry for so many years
I've seen at least eight or a thousand beautiful female live streamers, and many of them have had very successful plastic surgery. But those people all bear traces of plastic surgery to some extent, whether it's stiff cheekbones, unnatural double eyelids, or an overly sharp chin.
But Su Jiaojiao is different.
Her beauty is natural, radiating a lively and charming innocence.
Her skin was as smooth as a baby's, with no trace of plastic surgery.
Her eyes are natural peach blossom eyes, with just the right curve at the corners, without any deliberate upward tilt.
Her nose is small and delicate, with a rounded tip, giving her an adorable appearance;
The lips have a natural shape, full but not exaggerated.
Her beauty isn't the cookie-cutter "internet celebrity" look, but rather a unique, memorable quality.
Su Yue stared at her for a full half minute before snapping out of her daze and quickly standing up.
A genuine smile appeared on his face:
"You must be Jiaojiao! Please, have a seat."
There was a hint of surprise in her voice.
"I watched your live stream on the platform and I just thought you were good-looking."
I never imagined she would be ten times more beautiful in person than on camera!
And your looks are clearly all-natural, which is extremely rare in the industry.
Su Jiaojiao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she sat down somewhat shyly.
"Master Su Yue, you flatter me. I'm just of average appearance."
"ordinary?"
Su Yue smiled and shook her head.
"Jiaojiao, if you're just average, then there are no beauties in this industry."
Having been in the live streaming industry for so long, I can tell at a glance whether someone has had plastic surgery.
Your face
She has never had any surgery; her beauty is natural.
"Much prettier than those faces that all look the same after plastic surgery."
As Su Yue spoke, she poured Su Jiaojiao a glass of lemonade and pushed it in front of her:
"Have some water."
"Thank you, Master Su Yue."
Su Jiaojiao took the water glass, her fingertips lightly touching the cool rim. She took a small sip, her moist lips glistening with water droplets, making her look even more alluring.
Su Yue looked at her, and couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder Lu Jinyuan and Jiang Yi care about her so much; a girl like her truly makes one want to cherish her.
