Chapter 208 Shared Vision
"The Miss Kuang we were talking about yesterday committed suicide by overdose."
"Huh?" Wei Dongning picked at her ear, wondering if she had misheard.
Looking down at Xiao Wu, who had jumped onto his lap and was licking its fur, he saw it nod at him, confirming the accuracy of the message.
Wei Dongning was somewhat shocked.
But on second thought, she could understand it a little.
Because it's so embarrassing, people might do something foolish in a moment of despair.
But she wasn't the one who did something wrong, so why should she have to bear this consequence?
Wei Dongning sighed deeply: "And what about her now?"
"He's been saved. There's a clinic just around the corner from the Yang residence, and the doctor arrived very quickly."
"That's good." Wei Dongning was relieved.
It's still a human life, and a young woman in the prime of her life no matter what.
It would be quite regrettable if they left so early.
Gu Peiyan had already changed her clothes and stood in front of the dressing mirror.
He casually rummaged through the box where she kept her cosmetics, took out a small bottle of something he didn't recognize, and held it up to Wei Dongning's eyes: "What's this for?"
“This is lip rouge, for applying to the lips.” Wei Dongning then found several different small round bottles, opened them one by one, and arranged them in a row: “These are all.”
Gu Peiyan stared at the lip rouges in front of her, which were indistinguishable except for their packaging, and was speechless for a moment.
He couldn't quite understand why they would buy so many of the same color.
Could it be for these bottles?
I must say, the bottle is actually quite pretty.
Wei Dongning's makeup was still down to her lips. Seeing that he was still studying the bottles, she had an idea.
Gu Peiyan can draw, so it should be quite easy for him to choose a color, right?
So she looked up and met his gaze: "How about you help me pick a color today?"
Gu Peiyan's eyes flickered slightly, and she agreed, "Okay."
He then picked up the small bottles again and examined them carefully, then gently placed one of them in front of Wei Dongning: "This one will do."
Wei Dongning had no objections. After Xiao Fu finished applying her makeup, she turned to Gu Peiyan and asked, "Does it look good?"
"nice."
"I think so too. Of all these lip glosses, this color is my favorite. It seems we have pretty much the same taste."
Gu Peiyan just smiled and didn't say anything.
Although he couldn't distinguish the differences between the colors, judging from the usage marks on the cream in the bottle, it was clear that this one had been used the most.
That's why he dared to make this bold choice.
Fortunately, I made the right choice.
Xiao Wu lazily glanced up at Wei Dongning in the mirror, and a teasing voice reached her ears: "I thought you would let him help you apply it."
"Come on, my makeup looks pretty good today. Do you believe I'd cry if he didn't apply his lipstick properly?"
"letter."
Xiao Wu answered without hesitation.
After all, it's not like it's never seen anything like it before.
Last time, Wei Dongning suddenly decided to do her own makeup, but because she didn't know how much pressure to apply, she ended up with makeup that looked like she could go on stage and sing opera. She didn't know where to start to fix it, and she was so angry that she cried while washing her face.
In order to keep others from finding out, she even spent a "big price" to shut Xiao Fu up.
From then on, apart from choosing the style and color of the cosmetics herself, she never touched them again.
I am determined not to let others see me in an embarrassing moment.
Gu Peiyan's painting skills are quite solid, but there is still a big difference between painting and makeup.
It's understandable that Wei Dongning doesn't trust him.
If it were it, it probably wouldn't believe it either.
"Are you still coming out with us today?" Wei Dongning stood up, holding Xiao Wu, and placed it in Gu Peiyan's arms.
Xiao Wu has been living too well lately, and she's getting a little tired from holding her for so long.
Xiao Wu peeked out from Gu Peiyan's arms, about to agree, but then remembered that another important matter was waiting for him, so he shook his head regretfully: "No, you two go by yourselves."
"Then I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."
"make a deal."
While the two of them were having breakfast, Qianrong leaned against the door frame and chatted with Xiaofu: "I'll find some time in the next couple of days to take Baoxing to see this shadow play. Baoxing hasn't seen it before."
"Then let's bring them together today, so you and Baoxing can sit alone later."
"Huh? That's possible?"
"I don't know, I was just making a suggestion. But I don't think the young master and young mistress would mind, right? You can ask them later."
Qian Rong straightened up and exclaimed "Oh!" as if suddenly realizing something: "That makes sense! I'll ask the young master about it later."
"No need to ask," Gu Peiyan's indifferent voice came from the dining table: "Go tell Baoxing later, and we'll go together."
Wei Dongning, however, looked at Xiao Fu with an expression of amusement.
She didn't care about adding one more person.
Xiao Fu might be facing a "tragic" situation later, being caught between two couples.
I just don't know if Xiao Fu will feel bad about it.
Xiao Fu then pouted at Wei Dongning.
She might have felt a little embarrassed before, but definitely not now.
Because she was already used to it.
She'll just ignore them then.
Yesterday she asked the teahouse manager and he said that the shadow puppet shows are different every day, so she can just go and watch the show.
When the group arrived at the teahouse, it was still early, and there were still empty seats in the private rooms.
Wei Dongning pulled Gu Peiyan over, not forgetting to turn back and instruct the others, "The view from that private booth over there is quite good, you guys can sit there. Don't worry about us, just have fun. Order whatever you want, it's on me."
Seeing how familiar and skilled she was with the task, Gu Peiyan felt a pang of jealousy welling up inside her.
Whenever something new or interesting comes along, he's never the first to share it with her.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt regretful.
When the servant brought over tea and snacks, Gu Peiyan calmly poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her.
He concealed his emotions well, so Wei Dongning didn't notice his emotional fluctuations. She leaned closer to him, her eyes filled with anticipation: "Xiao Fu said that today's performance is different from yesterday's, so today can also be considered my first time watching this, just like you. How about it, are you happy to hear this news?"
"I'll be even happier when I can be number one in A Ning's heart."
"Gu Peiyan, you're quite adept at sweet talk now."
"So, does A-Ning like it?"
"I do like it." Wei Dongning lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then added softly, "Let's save these words for when we get home. It's a bit embarrassing to say them in public."
She was even a little embarrassed.
"If you're willing to listen, I'll learn more in the future."
Wei Dongning imagined Gu Peiyan spouting sweet nothings and shuddered in fright. She quickly waved her hand and refused, saying, "Forget it, saying too much is too greasy. Just be yourself."
"I'll do whatever you say."
They didn't lower their voices intentionally, so the three people sitting in the adjacent booth could hear them clearly.
Xiao Fu didn't seem to feel anything.
Like I said, she's already used to it.
Baoxing, who rarely heard of such things, was clearly incredulous: "So this is really how the young master and young mistress get along?"
Qianrong had told her some of this before, but she thought he was exaggerating.
