Volume 3, Chapter 391 – Sister, Do You Like It?

Inside Huayue Court, immortal music played in waves, spiritual energy swirled about, as if it were a fairyland.

Chi Xiyan arrived early at her spot.

The atmosphere today seemed different from yesterday.

The bluestone used for testing in the garden had already been removed. Around the platform in the court, a fresh cluster of vibrant, colorful flowers had been arranged instead.

A cool breeze, carrying the scent of flowers, brushed past her cheeks.

Chi Xiyan sniffed lightly, surprise flashing in her eyes.

These newly laid flower clusters were, surprisingly, all rare spirit flowers.

Laying a ring like this around the platform would cost at least tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Still, as the eldest young lady of the Chi family, if she wanted to arrange such a display, it would not have been difficult.

Thinking of this, Chi Xiyan gave a bitter smile.

She was no longer the Chi family’s eldest young lady. What was the point of thinking about such things now.

Without the support of the Chi family’s assets, she and Chi Muxue could no longer be as extravagant and wasteful as before.

While she was thinking this, Chi Xiyan suddenly sensed a familiar presence. Her gaze swept over, and she saw Lu Zhuxin walking into the garden.

Then, a flicker of astonishment flashed through her eyes.

Her sister had put on makeup?

So beautiful, completely different from before.

After the astonishment came furrowed brows.

Who had helped her with this makeup?!

At that moment, Lu Zhuxin also saw Chi Xiyan.

Her steps paused slightly, her face carrying a hint of complicated emotion.

But this hesitation lasted only a moment. Soon, she hid the complicated look on her face and walked quickly toward Chi Xiyan.

Chi Xiyan was somewhat surprised.

She glanced around and found that there was no one else here besides herself.

Muxue had come to find her on her own initiative?!

Chi Xiyan’s surprise turned into astonishment.

Ever since that night when they had a huge fight, that girl had never spoken to her again.

She had not expected that Chi Muxue would actually come to find her on her own today.

“Sister… good morning…” Lu Zhuxin came before Chi Xiyan, her expression stiff.

She did not look at Chi Xiyan, her gaze wandering aimlessly.

Seeing this, Chi Xiyan’s heart sank.

Was Muxue still angry with her?

But at a time like this, as the older sister, she should be more magnanimous.

Thinking of this, she nodded slightly, a smile rising on her face. “Little Xue’er, did you rest well last night?”

Huh?!

What was wrong with this woman?

Listening to Chi Xiyan’s voice, Lu Zhuxin could not help but twitch the corner of her eye.

I hinted so obviously, and she still did not catch it.

Was this the result of being lovesick.

Lu Zhuxin looked at Chi Xiyan, at a loss for words.

Sighing inwardly, Lu Zhuxin said, “Thank you for your concern, sister. I rested very well yesterday.”

Her voice was soft and sweet, her expression obedient.

For a moment, Chi Xiyan had the illusion that the obedient and adorable sister from before had returned.

She smiled and said, “You left in a hurry yesterday. I did not have the chance to congratulate you. Congratulations on passing the test.”

Lu Zhuxin said gently, “Congratulations to you too, sister.”

After the simple reply came a brief silence.

The atmosphere was inexplicably a bit strange.

Chi Xiyan felt a little awkward. For some reason, she suddenly did not know how to get along with her own sister.

She thought hard for a moment, then said, “Do you have confidence for today’s selection?”

Lu Zhuxin nodded, sparing with her words. “Mm.”

Chi Xiyan said, “Having confidence is a good thing. Do not put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you do not pass, it is fine. Your sister is still here.”

“Mm.”

Then, there was another stretch of silence.

Chi Xiyan looked at the makeup on Lu Zhuxin’s face, hesitated for a while, and finally could not help but ask, “Who helped you with your makeup?”

Finally. I thought you would hold back and never ask.

Lu Zhuxin’s gaze grew a little more complicated.

She glanced out of the corner of her eye at the garden gate not far away.

Cheng Yinyin was still hiding at the entrance, watching.

She cleared her throat lightly and said, “Sister, I did it myself.”

This girl was lying again…

Chi Xiyan could tell at a glance that the girl did not mean what she said.

She opened her mouth, about to say something.

But Lu Zhuxin cut her off before she could speak. “Sister, do you think I look good?”

As she spoke, she raised her slender jade like fingers and gently tapped her own lips.

Her vermilion lips, gently pressed by her fair fingertip, appeared even more striking.

As her red lips parted and closed, a hint of her pink tongue could faintly be seen.

Chi Xiyan’s breath caught slightly.

She felt that she might be a bit obsessed, out of her mind.

Her own sister, with such a simple gesture, had actually made her mouth go dry.

She swallowed the saliva that had gathered in her mouth and said hoarsely, “You look good…”

Lu Zhuxin smiled with satisfaction. “Then sister, do you like it?”

“Huh?” Chi Xiyan heard her clearly, but she did not understand what Lu Zhuxin meant.

Her heartbeat seemed to quicken by a few beats at this moment.

“Muxue, I…”

Before she could finish, Lu Zhuxin said directly, “If sister likes it, you can have it too!”

Having said that, she took out a rouge box and held it out in front of Chi Xiyan.

Seeing the rouge box, Chi Xiyan let out a small sigh of relief.

“So it was about the rouge.”

But for some reason, she also felt a hint of disappointment in her heart.

“I do not need rouge.” Chi Xiyan smiled. “I’m happy as is.”

As the Chi family’s eldest young lady, she had always disdained using her looks to please others.

However, the girl before her shook her head and resolutely held the rouge box out before Chi Xiyan.

Chi Xiyan was taken aback. She gave a bitter smile. “Fine.”

As she spoke, she reached out to take the rouge box from Lu Zhuxin’s hand.

However, Lu Zhuxin did not let go. She opened the rouge box in her hand and leaned in closer toward Chi Xiyan, her movements forceful.

Chi Xiyan could tell that this meant she had to use it right away.

Muxue had always been obedient and well behaved. A gesture like this was somewhat out of character.

Still, this was the first time her sister had made a request of her.

Chi Xiyan pondered for a moment, and rather than refuse outright, she said, “Little Xue’er, since you insist so much, then help your sister put on makeup.”

Lu Zhuxin’s eye twitched.

Have her do the makeup? Chi Xiyan would probably be eliminated outright before she even got on stage.

She turned her head slightly and glanced at the garden gate in the distance.

She could see a certain young miss surnamed Cheng hiding there.

Cheng Yinyin had been watching the whole time.

“What is it?” Chi Xiyan noticed Lu Zhuxin’s hesitation, and her own gaze followed Lu Zhuxin’s line of sight.

Cheng Yinyin was startled out of her wits and immediately ducked behind the wall.

“What is that woman Cheng Lixue up to?”

“Did she not pay any attention at all to what I told her?

At that moment, she seriously began to doubt Cheng Lixue’s intelligence.

Chi Xiyan withdrew her gaze, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

But at this moment, Lu Zhuxin acted as if nothing had happened, and smiled. “Sister, then let me just help you apply a little.”

Chi Xiyan was stunned for a moment.

She opened her mouth and said, “Alright.”

On the other side, Bu Lianshuang also arrived at the court.

She spotted Cheng Yinyin hiding behind the wall at a glance.

She blinked, looking surprised. “Miss, what are you hiding from?”
