Chapter 196 - 197: Reluctant
Qiao Ying returned to the dormitory, faced with a host of necks craning curiously behind her. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and sternly said, "Yang PeiMin is having dinner; she’s busy and can’t leave. However, she told me to come solve everyone’s problems."
"Really?" This was unmistakably a tone of poorly hidden skepticism.
"What a shame. Anyway, we’re taking the same train as her tomorrow, aren’t we? It’d be perfect to ask her then."
"Exactly, that’s right. Then I’ll note down the questions now so we can ask her tomorrow."
"Hey, Xiao Yun, our question is the same, so I’ll go ask..."
They completely ignored Qiao Ying’s offer to ’help solve problems.’
Qiao Ying inwardly glared at this bunch of rascals.
But she managed to get by anyhow. After all, she was only just starting to grasp the ’basics.’ For the sake of her own pride, she let it go. After tidying up her things, she was ready to wash up. She took out the box of moisturizing cream that Yang PeiMin had given her, planning to use it after her shower. Because of the color issue with the cream, not being pure white, traces would inevitably remain on the skin after application. So Yang PeiMin had advised her not to use it on her face or only at night, saying it would be fine after washing it off the next day. The same logic applied to the skin on the rest of her body—spread it first, wait a while, then wipe it off with a damp towel. Just like a face mask, consistent use had noticeable effects, and just thinking about this excited Qiao Ying.
