Lin Li discovered that he didn't need to watch any tutorials at all.

He just needed to stare at Chen Yuying, see what she was doing, and then follow along by smearing things on his own face.

This was the fastest way to increase the progress.

Chen Yuying wasn't watching a tutorial, so it was redundant for him to watch one.

At this point, about twenty minutes had passed since Lin Li started putting on makeup. The mission progress bar had moved a quarter of the way in these twenty-odd minutes, and now the total was nearly half. The speed was undeniably fast.

If only this makeup time could continue.

Unfortunately, Chen Yuying was already at the final step of her makeup, dabbing a layer of glossy, watery grapefruit-colored lip glaze on her lips. With a purse of her lips, the beautiful color spread out.

Lin Li followed suit—although Chen Yuying wouldn't lend him her lip glaze, it didn't matter. He just smeared the excess foundation on his own lips. After all, eating a little bit of this stuff was completely fine.

After looking at himself in the mirror for a few moments, Chen Yuying turned her head to see how Lin Li was doing.

Lin Li was already looking at Chen Yuying, so their eyes met.

Makeup was truly a magical thing.

Chen Yuying's face, illuminated by the bright streetlights through the car window, had an almost transparent fairness. The smudged eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes gave her clear, spring-like eyes a hint of imperceptible liveliness, as if a small deer was hiding there.

Lin Li's vocabulary failed him; he didn't know how to describe this makeup. Although it was very light, even describable as a "no-makeup" look, it indeed gave a feeling of being bright, then brighter, and brighter still.

It was probably a kind of elegant freshness. In short, the colors were harmonious and complemented each other, perfectly showcasing Chen Yuying's pure vitality.

If Ma Xiaotiao were here, he'd be calling her his white moonlight.

Little Jing, Little Jing, Little Jing, Little Jing, Little Jing.

After silently chanting the name of his own dark and sultry moonlight a few times, Lin Li's expression remained natural, his cultivator's Dao heart still firm.

But Chen Yuying, who was not a cultivator, did not have a firm Dao heart.

Just as she was about to speak, she froze when she saw the makeup Lin Li had painted on his face like a cat copying a tiger.

Then, Chen Yuying's whole body began to tremble. She covered her mouth tightly, and the round moon outside the car shattered into two crescents in her eyes.

Her trembling body lost its balance and she fell into Ding Sihan's arms, still shaking.

Lin Li smiled faintly. It was clear that the class president was completely conquered by his charm, almost to the point of fainting.

If only Chen Yuying could restrain her laughter a little, otherwise Lin Li's attempts to deceive and comfort himself would seem a bit lacking in confidence.

Ding Sihan, who had been 'attacked', had also just finished her makeup, so she turned her head to look at Lin Li.

Her laughter was not ladylike, not restrained, and completely without any class.

"Lin Li, what on earth have you put on your face! Hahahaha!"

The commotion in the front row made Bai Bufan's heart itch. He stood up and leaned his body out to look at Lin Li's face, then almost spat out a mouthful of water. Fortunately, Lin Li was prepared and slapped him sideways. The saliva, following the trajectory of his turned face, sprayed all over Zhou Baowei's face next to him.

But Zhou Baowei didn't lose out too much, because Lin Li had to turn his head to slap Bai Bufan. The moment Zhou Baowei saw Lin Li, he also happened to spit a mouthful of water onto Bai Bufan's face.

It could only be said that the two were frantically exchanging bodily fluids.

May they live long and happily ever after.

The laughter gradually spread outwards with him at the center.

Lin Li was indignant. He picked up the small mirror on the table and looked at himself, then he was at peace.

Couldn't argue with that, this was truly ugly.

Lin Li realized something. When he was putting on makeup, he was only focused on staring at Chen Yuying and following her steps, completely ignoring whether the placement of these things on his face was correct.

He himself laughed too.

"Lin Li, come on, let's take a picture together!" Bai Bufan and Zhou Baowei leaned their upper bodies out from behind again, holding their phones with the front camera open.

Lin Li wasn't afraid of the camera either, and generously gave a peace sign.

He was the kind of god-tier person who would smile brightly and give a peace sign even when being arrested for soliciting prostitutes. What was an ugly photo?

Beside them, Chen Yuying and Ding Sihan finally managed to calm down and sat up straight.

"Can we take a picture together too?" Chen Yuying's voice still carried a hint of laughter.

"Of course."

Lin Li had longer arms. He took Chen Yuying's phone, extended it towards the window, and click, click, recorded a photo of the three of them.

After taking the picture, Lin Li zoomed in on his part, studied it carefully, and then said seriously to Chen Yuying:

"Class president, I think inner beauty is more important, don't you?"

The two who had just managed to stop laughing burst into laughter again because of Lin Li's serious words.

Lin Li also smiled gently. He was also quite happy. There was nothing to be embarrassed about. Lin Li was even certain that this would become a fond memory for him in the future.

He was even happier when he saw the mission's progress bar rising rapidly.

It seemed the system couldn't react to Lin Li deliberately guiding Chen Yuying's actions, but it still recognized the butterfly effect triggered during the imitation process.

"It's okay, just try harder next time," Chen Yuying, tired from laughing, rubbed the corners of her mouth and comforted Lin Li insincerely.

"There probably won't be a next time," Lin Li smiled.

"Can I post this picture on my Moments?" Chen Yuying asked, looking at the group photo on her phone.

"Of course, feel free."

Lin Li had no objection and began to look forward to one thing. His good buddy (lunch break limited edition) Wang Yuezhi, would he like this post after Chen Yuying posted it?

In the past, as long as it was Chen Yuying, whether it was a post, a Moment, or even a status or profile signature, this kid seemed to like it without a second's delay.

What about this time?

Hehe.

Lin Li craned his neck. He happened to meet the eyes of Wang Yuezhi, who was sitting by the aisle and had been looking over here since hearing Chen Yuying's laughter, currently in a state of *not hehe*.

Emergency announcement! Physics no longer exists!

According to the law of conservation of hehe, hehe is neither created nor destroyed, it only transforms from one form to another, or transfers from one object to another, and the total amount of hehe remains unchanged.

But at this moment, Lin Li saw the not hehe Wang Yuezhi become even more hehe. Wang Yuezhi, seeing Lin Li's current state, was also hehe-ing!

How did hehe just appear out of thin air?

The sky was falling.

"Lin Li, does this makeup look good on me?" Chen Yuying, who was looking at the continuous stream of pictures in her photo album, looked at her own appearance for a while, poked Lin Li with her hand, and asked.

Her eyelashes fluttered gently, like a butterfly brushing against a petal. Her eyebrows were long and soft, raised slightly, hiding a hint of expectation.

Fortunately, Lin Li was a cultivator with a firm Dao heart, otherwise he really couldn't handle it.

He thought for a moment and gave a thumbs-up: "You've lost your sense of direction, the beauty is something else."

Chen Yuying had actually developed some resistance to Lin Li's compliments, but when this little bit of flirtatious talk came out, she couldn't help but feel a little shy.

"Thank you."

"My turn, my turn, my turn!" Ding Sihan raised her hand, pointing at her own face with both fingers, and asked sincerely, "Lin Li, what about me, what about me? What do you think of my makeup, is it pretty?"

Lin Li looked at Ding Sihan.

This makeup was really makeup.

"Ding Sihan, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Lin Li asked sincerely after thinking for a while.

Ding Sihan: "..."

It's different for me, hey!

Her eager smile turned fake. Ding Sihan took a deep breath, then said with a smile, "I want to hear a lie."

A toad is not allowed to eat swan meat! You want to be with Yuying, I, Ding Sihan, will not allow it! Lin Li? You think you're worthy!

Tonight, my pillow talk will blow, blow, blow you to death!

Hmph!

But for now, it was better to listen to some praise to make herself feel better.

"Not pretty," Lin Li shook his head.

Knew it.

Wait, no.

The lie is 'not pretty'?

After Ding Sihan reacted, the corners of her mouth began to curl up and then quickly press down, repeating this motion, as if twitching.

She wanted to suppress it but couldn't.

Stupid mouth! Be reserved! Don't laugh!

But speaking of which, Lin Li seemed to be a pretty good match for Yuying.

Lin Li was so flirtatious.

He was so skilled with these little tricks. Her own emotions were really stirred by this kid, up and down.

Sigh, would Yuying be tricked and led around by the nose in the future?

Ding Sihan sized up Lin Li, then was a little surprised—was Lin Li much more handsome than when she first met him last semester? And had his figure also gotten better?

Lin Li's height was unquestionable, but he had always been very thin before. This bamboo-pole figure was fine in winter, a walking clothes hanger, but in summer with short sleeves, it sometimes even felt scary, like a top-tier skeleton soldier. But Ding Sihan now found that Lin Li didn't seem as thin as before?

His arms felt like they had gotten a circle thicker. His whole person, whether it was his temperament, figure, or facial features, was much better than last semester.

Had he been working out?

Alright, Ding Sihan had to admit, Lin Li might not be a toad. He was at least a frog.

And he was willing to praise her as pretty. Forget it, forget it. The previous grievances were bygones. The pillow talk would continue, but it would just be blown in a good direction.

Ding Sihan smiled foolishly, shaking her head and asking Lin Li, "Then I want to hear the truth, hehe."

"Really not pretty," Lin Li replied immediately.

"Hehe, thank you, hehe," Ding Sihan continued to smile.

1.14514 seconds later, Ding Sihan's smile froze.

What did her ears just hear?

The lie was "not pretty," and the truth was "really not pretty"?

Damn you! So that's how the truth works!

Alright, alright, Lin Li! You dead toad! I'll fucking blow, blow, blow, blow, blow you to death with my pillow talk!!!

"Lin Li, you're a disgusting, stinky dog, I hate you!"

Sister, your cursing sounds like you're acting cute.

"Just kidding. After your skin tone brightened, you look much better, and it's perfect!" Seeing Ding Sihan pouting and being glared at by Chen Yuying, Lin Li began to remedy the situation.

"Hmph!" A late compliment is cheaper than grass. I, Ding Sihan, won't fall for that.

At most, I'll blow you one less time.

At this time, Wang Ze in the front row turned his head. After seeing Ding Sihan's appearance, he said to Lin Li with contempt, "Isn't Ding Sihan's makeup pretty good?"

Wang Ze is good, Lin Li is bad.

But before Ding Sihan could be arrogant about this compliment, she heard Wang Ze continue, "But, Ding Sihan, I'm still more used to how you look without makeup, ready for Halloween."

Ding Sihan: "?"

"You! You!" Just as Ding Sihan was grinding her teeth in anger, Lin Li suddenly leaned over and gestured for Ding Sihan to bring her ear closer.

Ding Sihan hesitated for a moment before leaning over. After listening to the instructions, she was enlightened and pointed at Wang Ze's nose:

"Heh, Wang Ze, you can celebrate Children's Day with your pants off!"

Wang Ze: "?"

Chen Yuying lowered her head and began to giggle.

It was really hard to say which of the two attacks was more powerful.

"Lin Li! You beast! Your male status has been revoked!" How could Wang Ze not know that Lin Li had taught Ding Sihan this? He said with a pained heart.

"I'm already wearing makeup, who cares about male status," Lin Li said indifferently, pointing at his face.

Looking at Lin Li's face, after three seconds, Wang Ze was the first to break and laugh.

"I am the number one assassin of the Great Qing. Who dares to make eye contact with me for ten seconds?" Lin Li became even more arrogant, starting to look down on all the heroes in the world.

No one dared to accept the challenge. Even Xue Jian, who was beyond the student level, looked away after a glance.

This was invincibility.

An invincible cultivator is truly as lonely as snow.
