Make Her Heart Flutter - Chapter 49

“No!” Jiang Qi refused without a second thought.

Her speed was so swift that even Chi Shuang was taken aback.

The dress she wore was a blue-and-white Alice-themed gown, and wearing gloves wouldn’t look out of place. Besides, she had worn gloves to banquets before. But this time, the gloves were meant for applying dark foundation, and she absolutely did not want that!

Jiang Qi wanted to refuse, but Chi Shuang gazed at her with deep affection and sorrow, her eyes filled with unspoken pleas: “Please…”

The girl before her had an exquisitely beautiful face, yet she wore a sorrowful expression, as if a single rejection would bring tears to her eyes the next second.

Jiang Qi pressed her lips together and finally resigned herself to her fate. “This is toxic…”

Seeing Jiang Qi put on the gloves, Chi Shuang instantly switched to a sweet, adorable smile, her dimples unbearably charming. “Xiao Qi is so good. Then I’ll begin.”

“Okay.”

A single word, brimming with infinite tenderness.

Jiang Qi had already resigned herself to whatever Chi Shuang had in mind. It was as if she had handed her face over to the other, ready to endure whatever came next.

Chi Shuang told her to open her eyes, and she did; she told her to lift her head, and she complied, utterly obedient.

Chi Shuang adored this side of Jiang Qi. If it weren’t for the cameras rolling, she would have planted a kiss on those beautiful eyes.

At the amusement park, the other four had already gotten out of the car. Jiang Qi and Chi Shuang lagged slightly behind, and as everyone waited, the car slowly came to a stop.

Although they had changed clothes and disguised themselves, beautiful people always stood out, especially in a group.

To avoid failing the mission from the very start, the director had already coordinated with the amusement park to let them use the employee entrance.

On the other hand, it made sense for them to take that route.

But for now, these six innocent, clueless souls had no idea what awaited them.

When Chi Shuang and Jiang Qi got out of the car, everyone turned to look. “Huh? Why is Xiao Qi facing away from us?”

Chi Shuang smiled mischievously. “Ask her yourselves.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Qi had no choice but to turn around. For a moment, they were all stunned, exchanging bewildered glances as they stared at Jiang Qi.

Yan Xu was the first to react. “Is… this really Xiao Qi? If it weren’t for the same clothes, I wouldn’t have recognized her.”

“Wow! Sister Jiang, you look amazing like this! I want to try this style too! I’ll give it a shot in my next MV!” Jiang Ran rubbed her hands together, eager and excited.

Tang Qiluo was utterly shocked. “Wait, you two? Why did you do your makeup like this? It looks good, but… no way? It can’t be what I’m thinking, right?”

He suddenly realized something. Of course! Why would the program team give them such mismatched outfits for no reason? And why choose an amusement park, a place where they’d be so easily exposed?

This is insane!

“Ah… I didn’t bring any makeup…” Shang Chumu rummaged through his backpack but only managed to find a lip balm.

At that moment, the director stepped out of the car, smiling brightly, and produced the familiar loudspeaker. “Good morning, everyone. I suppose you’ve already guessed today’s mission.”

“…”

Thanks, we just figured it out.

After a brief pause, the director raised his megaphone and continued shouting, “You now have fifteen minutes to do your own makeup. Later, you’ll enter in pairs and take over the positions of the amusement park staff. Our task is to avoid being recognized.”

“What happens if we are recognized?” Jiang Ran asked.

“The first pair to be recognized will be punished with a roller coaster ride. The second pair will go bungee jumping. If you aren’t recognized, each pair will receive a reward of three hundred yuan. How you spend the last twenty days is entirely up to you!”

“Will the production team provide makeup?” Shang Chumu asked.

The director was about to leave but, hearing the question, turned back without looking and grabbed the megaphone. “Bring your own.”

“Ahhh! Then I’m definitely going to be recognized! I didn’t bring any makeup at all!” Shang Chumu collapsed to the ground in despair. “I’m scared of heights, Mom!!”

“Hey!” Jiang Ran responded, patting his shoulder. “Don’t panic. Why are you calling me Mom so eagerly?”

“Get away from me! Don’t you know we’re a team? If I have to ride the roller coaster, you’re not getting out of it either!” Shang Chumu was already numb to the situation.

“Well, I’m not scared of heights!” Jiang Ran shrugged indifferently.

Yan Xu rummaged through his bag. He didn’t wear makeup and only carried a pair of contact lenses at most, as he was slightly nearsighted.

Coincidentally, his most recognizable feature was his eyes. With the help of colored contacts, it would be much less noticeable.

Tang Qiluo had brought some makeup but not enough for a full look. At that moment, Chi Shuang took out the contents of her bag. “Use mine.”

“Wow, Sister Chi Shuang brought a mini makeup kit!” Shang Chumu exclaimed in shock.

“Don’t get your hopes up too much, though. I only brought one shade of foundation, and it’s Xiao Qi’s color,” Chi Shuang sighed.

Jiang Ran nodded happily, her eyes curving into a smile. “That’s perfect. I’ve been wanting to try this style anyway.”

“But we can’t all go for the tanned hottie look, can we?” Shang Chumu stroked his chin, feeling that this would only increase their chances of being recognized.

Jiang Qi: “…” Hottie? You’re the hottie! Your whole family are hotties!

“Besides the foundation, Xiao Shuang’s preparations are quite thorough. She even brought eyeliner, mascara, blush, and an eyelash curler,” Yan Xu remarked.

Besides the foundation? Jiang Qi repeated silently in her mind.

So, she had already anticipated this, she just wanted to apply dark foundation on me?

Jiang Qi tilted her head to look at Chi Shuang, who had already sensed her gaze and moved eight meters away.

When Jiang Qi looked over, Chi Shuang even winked at her discreetly, avoiding the cameras.

She really did it on purpose!

Jiang Qi licked her lips, a glint flashing in her eyes.

Apart from Chi Shuang and Jiang Qi, everyone else dove into applying makeup. Their work often required them to do their own makeup, so they all had some skill, except for Yan Xu.

So, after spending five minutes on her own makeup, Tang Qiluo began helping Yan Xu with his.

Right at the fifteen-minute mark, everyone was finally ready.

The pairings remained the same. Chi Shuang and Jiang Qi were assigned to the 3D animation screening room, which perfectly matched their outfits.

A white attendant and a tanned hottie version of Alice.

Except… this Alice was unusually tall.

Their task was to greet visitors at the entrance, the first point of contact for guests entering the screening room and the most likely place to be exposed.

Both of them were exceptionally beautiful and strikingly distinctive, drawing glances from passersby now and then.

Jiang Qi, sporting her “dark-skinned spicy girl” makeup, had already given up on herself.

“Alright, stop laughing!” Jiang Qi said helplessly.

“I’m not laughing at you. It’s just that we’re supposed to be greeters now, so we should greet the tourists,” Chi Shuang argued playfully.
