Chapter 137: Testing Her Immediate Reaction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[So you look good when you dress up. The pretty girls aren’t running away anymore.]

[You know what the audience wants, pfft hahaha. This camera is so zoomed in that I can almost see his pores.]

Lu Jinsen’s entire face was covered in foundation. His makeup was especially thick, and he even had makeup stickers on some parts. After his face was heavily contoured, he could barely tell his own gender.

His looks were already a little feminine and cute to begin with, but after putting on makeup, he looked unbelievably ethereal.

Lu Jinsen stared at himself in the mirror, the shock lingered in his eyes for a long time.

Meng Chuyuan’s face was relatively small. After putting on the wig, the sideburns on both sides of her face pressed against her cheeks, making her face look even smaller.

Her eyes were very bright. Even the heavy makeup could not hide the charm of her eyes.

With her beautiful makeup and bright costume, she looked like she had walked out of a painting.

After Qi Yan finished putting on makeup, she did not give off the same vibe. Perhaps it was because her makeup was superimposed, but it looked a little dirty.

[Are stylists biased towards beauties? It really feels like they transformed a beauty into a fairy. She’s too beautiful.]

[Without comparison, there can be no harm. Beside Sister Meng, Qi Yan feels like a maid. Hahaha.]

[Goddess Nuwa, do you want to see what you’ve made? How can someone be so beautiful that it makes people muddled?!]

[Ethereal beauty cannot compare. This is the only phrase I can think of to describe Sister Meng’s beauty.]

Qi Yan saw the effect of Meng Chuyuan’s makeup. For a few seconds, she was also attracted by Meng Chuyuan’s beauty.

When they came to film this variety show, they had never seen Meng Chuyuan appear on screen with makeup on. They did not expect Meng Chuyuan to be able to carry the opera makeup so well.

The Liao family usually put on gentle makeup, but now that the makeup artist had done heavy contouring, they looked a little unfriendly.

Meng Chuyuan happened to be standing behind her. Through the mirror, Liao Jiake could clearly see Meng Chuyuan’s makeup. Comparing it to her own, she felt that she looked like a villain.

After putting on the headdress, Meng Chuyuan felt that the top of her head was a little heavy. As for her makeup, she really didn’t care much.

When Lu Jinsen was done with his makeup, their group was the first to perform. They had been waiting backstage and had no idea how many people were sitting below the stage. They only stood behind the curtain after someone had

come to inform them that they could prepare to perform.

Before they went on stage, Meng Chuyuan even secretly lifted the curtain and peeked at the situation in front of the stage.

Due to the blind spot, she did not see much. She only saw two figures sitting under the stage.

Althoughs he could not see many people, Meng Chuyuan judged from the voices outside that there were definitely more than just two people.

Meng Chuyuan let go of the curtain and restored it to its original state. When she turned around, she happened to see Lu Jinsen taking a deep breath. She glanced at Lu Jinsen and said calmly, “Are you really an actress? You’re even more nervous than me.”

[I calculated with my fingers. Sister Meng is starting to slack again.] [Young Master looks like a little kid beside Sister Meng. Hahaha.]

[Lu jinsen I suspect that you’re acting as me! My state before I go on stage is exactly the same as yours.]

[Sister Meng has the calmness of a top student with the ability to predict their score in the exam. I’m looking forward to this performance.]

[Why can’t I be there? Why don’t I deserve to be there!]

He had never tried to perform a live performance before, and he was still doing a live-stream. When he thought about how so many people were watching, he could not help but feel a little nervous.

After Lu Jinsen was caught red-handed, he stopped pretending and asked coldly, “Aren’t you nervous?”

“What’s there to be nervous about? It’s not like you won’t have anything to eat if you lose the competition.”

In Meng Chuyuan’s eyes, the first place was really nothing. At most, it was just a hotpot meal.

They still had some ingredients left from lunch. When they went back, they could gather a table full of dishes.

Meng Chuyuan frowned slightly and asked, “Or do you want to eat hotpot?” If he wanted to eat it, she could indeed fight for it, but she did not have such thoughts at the moment.

Lu Jinsen’s eyes flickered. Before he could think of an answer, someone came to urge them to go on stage.

Meng Chuyuan lifted the curtain in front of him and before they appeared on stage, she hurriedly said to him, “I don’t want to eat hotpot, so do as you please.”

Seeing how tense Lu Jinsen was, Meng Chuyuan felt that the reason behind his stress lay here, so she told him openly how she felt. This could count as her giving him confidence.

Hearing Meng Chuyuan’s words, Lu Jinsen suddenly felt relieved.

He followed closely behind Meng Chuyuan and they both went onto the stage together. When the two of them appeared, they saw that not only were the judges sitting below the stage, but the actors who had removed their makeup were also present.

The cameraman followed them to the front of the stage. Once the camera began filming, it swept across the judges’ seats and showed the situation below the stage to the audience in the live-stream. Then, the cameraman found a spot that could capture the entire stage and focused the camera on them.

As soon as the tune was played, the two of them began to perform.

However, at the start of the performance, they had a scene where they had to exchange positions and Lu Jinsen did not pay attention to where he was stepping. Consequently, he stepped onto Meng Chuyuan’s costume.

Meng Chuyuan reacted quickly on the spot. When she felt her costume being pressed down, she stopped for a moment. She only adjusted it after Lu Jinsen finished walking past her.

Since they did not have shoes that fit her, Meng Chuyuan wore her own shoes and needed to choose a longer costume to cover her feet.

Perhaps Meng Chuyuan’s words had worked, Lu Jinsen had calmed down. His performance was quite natural, and his expression was not so stiff.

Meng Chuyuan was also very casual and did not deliberately strive for perfection. This was because she had only learnt the song for a short period of time. If she was stingy with the details, this performance might not be completed today.

A few minutes later, their performance ended. When the applause rang out, Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen bowed in unison.

After the applause died down, the teacher picked up the microphone and began to comment.

“The two of you performed well on stage. Then, there was a small interlude when you started and the two of you stood too close. When you were changing positions, the boy stepped on the girl’s clothes but I think it was handled very well. The girl did not panic and the mistake was handled tastefully. This is commendable.”

Meng Chuyuan only paused for a moment but the judges sitting in the middle of the stage could still see this mistake.

She knew that the mistake just now would definitely be mentioned, but Meng Chuyuan did not expect that what awaited her was not criticism, but praise.

Lu Jinsen was dumbfounded when he heard that. The scene of the performance just now flashed through his mind, but he still could not find his mistake.

However, the audience did not notice this because the live-stream’s camera was focused on Lu Jinsen in front. The scene of him stepping on the clothes was not captured either. Only the upper half of their body was captured..
