Chapter 160: The First Guest

Ding Yuehua quickly applied the face powder, and somehow, after applying it, she felt much fresher than when she did it herself before.

Shu Yu spoke to her while performing the action, "After applying the face powder, let it absorb for a moment."

Ding Yuehua responded with an "Oh."

Then she saw Shu Yu sitting across from her, seemingly observing her face.

She felt a bit awkward being stared at, but Shu Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, we're both women. There's nothing to be shy about."

Ding Yuehua found her words amusing and they didn't make her uncomfortable. The occasional playful remarks broke the barrier between them.

Shu Yu quickly finished studying Ding Yuehua's face shape and immediately started working on it.

At first, Ding Yuehua would look at the items she used, but later on, she lost interest. Instead, the maidservant standing behind her tried hard to remember Shu Yu's steps, but she couldn't keep up at all.

All those bottles and jars looked the same, and she couldn't distinguish between them. Moreover, she was too focused on looking at the bottles and couldn't pay attention to the techniques. Her eyes were strained.

The maidservant eventually gave up and simply stared at Ding Yuehua's face.

With a single glance, the maidservant was startled. Was this really her young miss? Why did she feel like she was completely different?

No, she was still the same, but the young miss's temperament had completely changed.

The makeup process took quite a while, and the sky quickly darkened.

Shu Yu frowned and said to the maidservant beside her, "Light two more candles for me."

The maidservant didn't react and continued staring at Ding Yuehua in a daze.

Until Ding Yuehua reached out and pulled her, ''Xiaoyun, why aren't you going?''

''Ah? Oh oh oh.'' Xiaoyun nodded in a hurry, but she kept nodding while looking at her mistress.

When the two candles were lit, the room suddenly became much brighter.

Finally, Shu Yu drew some lip shape for Ding Yuehua before letting go of what she had in her hand.

Ding Yuehua curiously asked, ''Is it done?''

Shu Yu shook her head, ''We still need to change the hairstyle.''

She went around behind Ding Yuehua and let her hair down. ''Miss Ding, your hair is really well-maintained.''

Ding Yuehua smiled and pursed her lips. Her long, black, and smooth hair was her pride.

''With such a good advantage, it should be utilized.'' While speaking, Shu Yu deftly tied her hair into a high ponytail and inserted a jade hairpin.

Finally, it was her clothing.

Ding Yuehua was wearing a deep blue robe today, but it obviously didn't suit her well, giving a somewhat sloppy feeling.

Coupled with the more masculine makeup that Shu Yu applied, it would be better if her attire was also neat.

She couldn't sew clothes, so she found a few hairpins she had prepared early and folded the excess fabric of the sleeves and pinned it up.

At least it wouldn't look too cumbersome.

After completing all of this, Shu Yu clapped her hands. ''Alright, done. Miss Ding, stand up and take a look.''

Ding Yuehua didn't know how she looked now, but she obediently stood up, looking somewhat reserved, and then looked at Xiaoyun with inquiring eyes.

However, Xiaoyun at this moment widened her eyes and opened her mouth, filled with astonishment, completely failing to catch the questioning gaze.

It was only when Ding Yuehua lightly cleared her throat that Xiaoyun suddenly snapped back to reality.
