Chapter 23 Receiving Foreign Guests 2

  When Zhang Yue rushed over with her mother's makeup, Qi Ge and Xia Jingjing had already changed their clothes - indeed good white shirts, fiery red suspenders skirts, no white long stockings, plus the weather was already cold, and they actually wore a pair of black pants each!

  Looking at this getup, Zhang Yue's heart was already pounding. She couldn't be bothered to greet the teacher and rushed towards Qi Ge shouting: "Quickly go wash your face!" Then she pulled Xia Jingjing aside: "Shh, don't make a sound, I'll draw for you."

  "Can you?" Xia Jingjing asked, sneaking a peek at the teacher.

  "I won't paint two red cheeks for you again!"

  Xia Jingjing fell silent upon hearing this, apparently that red face had also scared her.

  Why does a little girl's makeup need to be so complicated, applying foundation, drawing eyebrows, lightly applying eyeshadow, and gently brushing blush on the cheekbones... Although it has been a long time since I've done these things, the foundation laid over N years makes this series of actions as smooth as instincts. In just a few minutes, a lovely young beauty appears before everyone's eyes.

  Wow, you've done it yourself? Teacher Guan walked over from the brigade department, looked at Xia Jingjing, and couldn't help but praise: "The painting is really good! Better than mine! Zhang Yue, who taught you how to do makeup?"

  You're definitely better than me! A teacher of your age, do you know what makeup is? Zhang Yue muttered to herself in her heart, but on the surface, she didn't dare show it: "No one taught me? I saw my mom do it like this."

  "Your mom is really fashionable!" Guan teacher said with envy while looking at the full box of cosmetics.

  Zhang Yue didn't respond, secretly laughing to herself: My mom can't teach me how to put on makeup, haven't you seen that most of the stuff in that box hasn't been touched? Although my mom is now traveling all over the place and has broadened her horizons, she also knows how to buy a high-end cosmetic product to save face. But what she can accept at most is just applying a lip color close to her natural lip color, as for the rest... Alas, this makeup box is just decoration at home, mere decoration.

  In her heart, Zhang Yueke was thinking of returning home, but she didn't idle around.

  First, she helped Qi Ge get ready, then quickly put on some light makeup for herself. It didn't take long at all. After finishing up, looking at Qi Ge and Xia Jingjing's outfits, she really felt down. Is this okay? Do they have to dress like this? What kind of aesthetic is this? Can I say it's a generation gap?

  Looking at Zhang Yue's scrunched up little face, Teacher Gao couldn't help but laugh. Walking over to pat Zhang Yue on the back, she said: "No wonder Teacher Chen likes you, you're just a clever little bean. I know you think it doesn't look good, but as you know, where can we find three identical outfits in our school? Just make do with what you have."

  Zhang Yue racked her brains but couldn't think of anywhere that would have three sets of the same clothes, and even if she knew where to find them, it was too late to go borrow now?!

  Just as she was about to give up, Xia Jingjing pulled her and gave her a signal. The two of them walked to one side in perfect tacit understanding, and Xia Jingjing whispered: "Do you still remember the dance 'Little Pigeon' that we performed in sixth grade last year? The one that won first prize and was even performed on TV?"

  It was as if fortune had arrived, and the two of them tacitly nodded in unison, rushing over to grab hold of Teacher Guan: "Teacher Guan, shouldn't Xiaoxiao Dou's clothes have five sets? We want to wear those!"

  Thanks to their reminder, Teacher Guan also remembered that at the time, in order to participate in the TV station's competition, the school had unusually allocated funds and made five sets of performance costumes. Because they were quite expensive, after the competition ended, they were put away, and this dance was never rehearsed again, and the teachers had also forgotten about it.

  It was a set of white long-sleeved gauze skirts, although it was gauze, but not transparent. The little girls were thin and could wear an autumn jacket inside without any problem. The white tights were also quite thick and occasionally wore them, which was okay. The red small leather shoes that came with the set were also suitable for this weather. Although there was still a pair of wings, they could be removed, and it didn't matter with today's activity... So, after rummaging through the boxes, the three little girls finally finished dressing up!
