Chapter 43: When You Get Married, You Should Choose Someone You Like
The county town was about a 30-minute ride from Su Moyu’s home. The two of them took the bus there.
Since Su Moyu finally had a chance to get a free treat, there was no way she would miss it.
Bai Shuchuan watched as she ordered a full combo meal and then happily started eating.
After finishing, Su Moyu let out a satisfied burp. Her eating style didn’t match her gentle and elegant appearance at all.
There were crumbs of fried chicken at the corner of her mouth, and her lips were shiny with oil.
“Phew, I’m so full,” Su Moyu said, rubbing her small belly with a satisfied look.
Bai Shuchuan, sitting across from her, let out a helpless sigh.
Su Moyu frowned. “Feels like you didn’t eat much.”
Bai Shuchuan nodded. “I thought you wouldn’t be able to finish, so I didn’t order anything.”
Su Moyu laughed.
“Don’t underestimate how much I can eat!”
“But you didn’t eat that much before,” Bai Shuchuan said helplessly.
“That’s because I didn’t like the food,” Su Moyu explained. “I haven’t eaten fried chicken in a long time. It’s fine to eat more today, right?”
Before Bai Shuchuan could reply, Su Moyu quietly took out her phone.
“I’ll buy you a burger.”
………………………
When Su Moyu got back home that evening and just reached the floor where Bai Shuchuan’s room was, Bai Xiaqing pulled her away.
“Susu, come here quickly! I just learned a new makeup style, let me try it on you!”
Su Moyu frowned. Before she could say anything, she was already dragged into the room.
“Your skin is so good, it’s hard for makeup to look uneven,” Bai Xiaqing said, pinching Su Moyu’s cheek.
Bai Shuchuan, who was about to leave, was also stopped by Bai Xiaqing.
“Shuchuan, stay too. After I finish, you can take a look,” she said.
Bai Shuchuan blinked and looked at Su Moyu, as if asking for her approval.
Su Moyu was actually curious about how it would turn out, so she didn’t notice his gaze.
“Why are you still standing there? If you don’t look at your wife, then who will?” Bai Xiaqing teased.
Su Moyu’s cheeks suddenly turned a little red. She secretly glanced at Bai Shuchuan and happened to meet his eyes.
Soon, Su Moyu was brought to sit in front of the dressing table, while Bai Shuchuan sat on the bed nearby, scrolling through videos.
“Let’s do a more mature and elegant style!” Bai Xiaqing said as she took out different makeup products.
“Try this lip color,” she said, handing over a tomato-red lip gloss. “See how it looks.”
Su Moyu had no idea how to use it.
“Uh… it looks nice,” she could only say.
“Susu should start learning makeup too,” Bai Xiaqing said as she tied up Su Moyu’s long hair and clipped it in place.
Hearing that, Su Moyu finally felt relieved. Luckily, the “original her” also didn’t know how to do makeup, otherwise she would have had to pretend.
“It seems kind of hard,” Su Moyu said helplessly.
“Really? It feels pretty easy,” Bai Xiaqing replied. Then she clipped Su Moyu’s bangs and continued.
Su Moyu looked at Bai Shuchuan in the mirror, who was lowering his head and playing on his phone, then looked back at her own face.
She pressed her lips together as Bai Xiaqing applied some unknown liquid onto her face. A cool feeling spread across her skin, and her mood became a little complicated.
However, Su Moyu still felt a faint sense of embarrassment. She wasn’t really used to wearing makeup.
Especially with Bai Shuchuan right next to her.
There were so many bottles and tools on the dressing table that she felt a bit overwhelmed. Then she heard Bai Xiaqing say, “Open your mouth~”
Su Moyu did as told, and Bai Xiaqing applied lipstick for her.
“Press your lips together,” Bai Xiaqing said, even showing her how to do it.
After being “worked on” for a while, Su Moyu felt her waist getting sore.
Her natural looks were already very good, but after Bai Xiaqing’s effort, adding eyeshadow and a more mature lipstick, she really gave off a cool and elegant vibe.
Su Moyu couldn’t help but think to herself: being pretty really is nice, even looking in the mirror feels pleasing.
Even though her looks were already good before, after becoming a girl, the details of her face seemed even more refined.
“Alright, how is it? Does it look good?” Bai Xiaqing asked.
Su Moyu nodded quickly. “It looks good, really good.”
At that moment, Bai Shuchuan happened to look up at her. Her delicate face now had a slightly cold and charming beauty.
Su Moyu blinked at him. When she noticed his gaze, she suddenly felt a bit nervous.
Since Bai Xiaqing was there, she couldn’t say anything too playful.
“Bai Shuchuan, why do you seem so calm lately?” Bai Xiaqing teased when she saw him standing there in a daze. “Did you get tired of Susu after marrying her?”
Bai Shuchuan coughed lightly. “Uh… very pretty.”
Su Moyu almost laughed. Seeing his slow and awkward reaction was really funny.
Then Bai Shuchuan seemed to think of something and added, “The eyeshadow color is nice. It looks cute.”
This time, Su Moyu really couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Bai Xiaqing looked shocked when she heard that.
“Susu, why does your husband seem so slow lately?”
That sentence actually made Su Moyu feel shy.
“He’s just like that,” she replied calmly.
Bai Xiaqing let out a soft sigh. “That’s probably why you like him.”
Su Moyu froze for a moment, and her cheeks felt a bit warm.
“Sometimes I really envy you two. I used to think you were still kids,” Bai Xiaqing said as she let Su Moyu’s hair down. “And suddenly, you’ve grown up and reached the age to talk about marriage. Marrying someone you truly like is a very, very happy thing.”
She couldn’t help but sigh.
Su Moyu understood this. Bai Xiaqing’s partner came from a blind date. She thought he was okay, so she just settled down with him.
But hearing this made Su Moyu suddenly think about the fact that she and Bai Shuchuan were already married.
Yeah… when you get married, you should choose someone you like.
Thinking this, Su Moyu looked at Bai Xiaqing again and smiled.
“Susu, this makeup really looks great on you.”
But when she thought about what would happen after they really divorced, she couldn’t help but worry.
What would Bai Xiaqing think then?
And what would she do after leaving?
“Thank you, Sister Xiaqing,” Su Moyu said with a smile. “Next time, I’ll try to learn from you!”
Bai Xiaqing turned around and started packing up her things. “Sure, you’re welcome anytime.”
