MFIMM Chapter 71

Ancient City

Ancient City

After Wei Qian and the others arrived, the small courtyard suddenly welcomed new people. It was an uncle who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, dressed in the unique clothing of the local people.

The clothes were based on a deep purple color, with intricate patterns embroidered on the cuffs and embroidered ribbons at the waist, fully displaying the ethnic characteristics.

The uncle spoke Mandarin with a local accent, entered the small courtyard, and greeted them.

“Hello everyone! Welcome to our ancient city. Today, I am your guide, responsible for taking you around the ancient city.”

Everyone enthusiastically greeted the uncle. Jiang Xubai asked, “Uncle, is it really just a tour? Are there no other activities, like suddenly asking us to farm?”

The uncle laughed so hard he clutched his waist, waving his hands and saying, “No, no, the production team just asked me to take you around for a day.”

Everyone exchanged glances, truly frightened by this production team that had no script at all.

“Uncle, please rest here for a while. We’ll pack up and leave immediately.” The others returned to their rooms, hastily washed up, and embarked on their journey to explore the ancient city.

The uncle was obviously a genuine local, and although his Mandarin was not standard, he was very knowledgeable about the history and attractions of the ancient city.

The whole time, the uncle was basically the only one introducing things. They were like a tour group, whispering to each other behind the uncle.

Among them, the most enthusiastic whisperer was Ke Yun, who had just arrived. He seemed to be at odds with Wei Qian before. Wei Qian stood alone at the back of the line, while Ke Yun stood next to Pei Jiashu, talking to him.

Lin Xi couldn’t help but glance at the two of them from time to time, wondering what they had to say that required so much talking.

Pei Jiashu seemed to notice Lin Xi’s gaze, and the hand hanging by his side suddenly hooked Lin Xi’s little finger, but he didn’t directly hold it.

Since Pei Jiashu confessed to Lin Xi, he had rarely made any particularly intimate gestures.

But this kind of small action was even more tempting.

Lin Xi also avoided Pei Jiashu and went to find Li Zhijian or Jiang Xubai in front, but those couples were all as sweet as honey, sticking together.

He looked back at Wei Qian, who was alone at the end, Wei Qian’s eyes were on Ke Yun.

Seeing Lin Xi, he nodded to Lin Xi as a greeting.

Lin Xi wondered if he should go to the back to accompany Wei Qian, he looked so pitiful alone, anyway, he was superfluous here.

Thinking this way, Lin Xi deliberately slowed down.

But the person next to him grabbed his hand one step ahead. Lin Xi looked up at Pei Jiashu. How could this person accurately sense that he was falling behind?

Lin Xi moved closer to Pei Jiashu and carefully pointed to Wei Qian behind him.

Pei Jiashu didn’t understand Lin Xi’s meaning, frowning and asking, “So you want to go to the back to find Wei Qian?”

Lin Xi nodded.

“Doesn’t he have his own wife?”

Lin Xi: “…”

Lin Xi was speechless for a moment, and continued to say to Pei Jiashu, “Aren’t you and Ke Yun talking perfectly fine? Wei Qian is alone at the back, it’s a bit pitiful.”

“You think he’s pitiful, so you want to abandon me?” Pei Jiashu squeezed Lin Xi’s hand, somewhat dissatisfied, “You still haven’t given me an answer to that day’s question.”

As soon as this was mentioned, Lin Xi immediately became like a snake with its vital spot pinched, unable to move at all.

He stammered, “Then I won’t go.”

Pei Jiashu was finally satisfied. He turned his head and said to Ke Yun next to him, “Xiao Yun, this show is a couples program after all, you still shouldn’t leave Wei Qian alone. Besides, if you’re always by my side, Lin Xi will be jealous.”

Lin Xi’s eyes widened, and he also squeezed Pei Jiashu’s hand, diverting Pei Jiashu’s attention to him, mouthing, “Who said I’m jealous?”

“You’re not jealous, but if you go find Wei Qian, the one who should be jealous is me.” Pei Jiashu said.

Under Pei Jiashu’s reminder, Ke Yun finally realized the problem, and apologized to Lin Xi, “I’m sorry, Sister-in-law, it’s just that Pei-ge and I haven’t seen each other for a long time, I’m a little excited.”

After speaking, he obediently retreated to Wei Qian’s side.

Wei Qian seemed to say sarcastically, “Got chased back, huh?”

Ke Yun crossed his arms and rolled his eyes at Wei Qian.

The ancient city has an immersive experience of touring the ancient city. In addition to having a local guide always following, you can also wear the ethnic costumes here.

They were taken by the guide to a clothing store, which the production team had already prepared, just waiting for them to arrive.

Everyone went to change their clothes. Omegas could even experience the hair crowns here. These were pure silver products, and the hair crowns, which were bigger than their heads, were worn on their heads, heavy, and the silver ornaments like tassels collided with each other, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

There were also makeup artists here who could help with makeup. Lin Xi sat down first to experience the unique techniques of the makeup artists here.

He paid attention to the makeup artist’s techniques throughout the process, asking questions while being made up. By the time the makeup was finished, Lin Xi had already understood it in his heart.

There were only two makeup artists, and although their speed was not slow, it was still a bit slow with so many people.

“Um… are there any extra makeup tools? I can help with makeup too.” Lin Xi volunteered. The makeup artist pointed to the table, saying that he could use anything he wanted.

Ke Yun, who had just done something wrong, was the first to stand up and support him, “Sister-in-law, you can do makeup too! Then do mine!”

Pei Jiashu’s mouth, which had just opened, was forced to close, and he glanced at Ke Yun speechlessly and helplessly.

Lin Xi also noticed Pei Jiashu’s actions just now. He guessed that Pei Jiashu definitely wanted him to do his makeup. Although he also wanted to help Pei Jiashu with his makeup, it was quite amusing to see Pei Jiashu deflated.

“Xiao Xi, then help me with mine too.” Li Zhijian said to Lin Xi.

“Okay, okay!” Lin Xi’s eyes lit up with excitement. Heaven knows how much he wanted to do Li Zhijian’s makeup.

Pei Jiashu was once again deflated. Lin Xi could only do makeup for two people at most, after all, there were two makeup artists here, so he could only find a makeup artist to do his.

Especially when Pei Jiashu saw Lin Xi’s cunning eyes, smiling with curved eyebrows and eyes, like a little fox.

Is he so happy that he doesn’t have to do his makeup?

Pei Jiashu stared at Lin Xi with resentment throughout the whole process. Ke Yun was particularly supportive of Lin Xi because of what happened just now, especially since Lin Xi’s skills were indeed good. He could almost praise Lin Xi to the sky, making Lin Xi laugh so hard that he couldn’t close his mouth.

Wei Qian walked over and patted Pei Jiashu’s shoulder, whispering, “Can you control your wife?”

Pei Jiashu threw Wei Qian’s hand aside and snorted softly, “People who haven’t confessed yet don’t have the right to speak.”

Wei Qian: “…”

Wei Qian gritted his teeth and said, “You’re really my good brother.”

Pei Jiashu didn’t have much to do with makeup. The makeup artist put foundation on his face and felt that he didn’t need to do anything else. Instead, it gave him and Wei Qian a chance to talk.

“You’ve liked him since high school, and now you’re married, just go after him directly, what are you afraid of.”

Wei Qian sighed deeply, “Just getting married, he already doesn’t want to talk to me, he moved out immediately after getting married, and now it’s difficult to even talk to me properly. If I chase him, he’ll probably just run away.”

“Hey, actually I haven’t caught up with Lin Xi yet either.”

The two unfortunate brothers sighed silently in the corner. Wei Qian was about to express his understanding of his good brother’s shared situation with Pei Jiashu.

Pei Jiashu said again in a cheap way, “But I’m different from you, I’ve already confessed to Lin Xi, it’s only a matter of time before he agrees.”

Wei Qian: “You kid is deliberately trying to show off your affection to me, right.”

Pei Jiashu nodded, pretending to be profound, “No way, you’re the only one among my married friends who can still listen to me, my good brother.”

Wei Qian: “…Get out.”

Seeing that his good brother didn’t want to talk to him, Pei Jiashu simply moved closer to Lin Xi again, handing Lin Xi things. After all, he was someone who often watched Lin Xi’s live streams.

Although he didn’t know how to do makeup, he at least understood a little about makeup tools.

Lin Xi looked at the contouring palette that Pei Jiashu handed over. His makeup order was fixed. It was indeed time to use contouring next, but the contouring palette was on the table, so Lin Xi didn’t think much about it.

But next, Pei Jiashu handed over a highlighter palette.

Once could be luck, but twice was definitely not.

“You can do makeup?” Lin Xi asked suspiciously. Pei Jiashu usually attends events with no makeup, and he’s basically never seen him wear makeup.

Pei Jiashu shook his head, “It’s because we’re telepathic.”

“Ew~” Li Zhijian, who was sitting in the chair receiving makeup from Lin Xi, was the first to protest, “Are you two usually this oily… clingy?”

Lin Xi guessed that Li Zhijian wanted to say that Pei Jiashu was greasy, but for the sake of the camera, he changed his wording.

“Teacher Li, close your eyes, I’m going to put on your eyeshadow.” Lin Xi interrupted the topic, Pei Jiashu handed the eyeshadow palette in his hand to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi looked at him suspiciously, but didn’t say much.

After finishing the makeup, Pei Jiashu was the first to praise, “Xiao Xi, your skills have improved again, do mine next time too.”

After being praised by Pei Jiashu, Lin Xi always felt a little fluttery, his heart felt like he had eaten a jar of honey, even swallowing saliva was sweet.

“Who wants to do makeup for a big straight Alpha like you.” Lin Xi said coquettishly.

Pei Jiashu: “I’ll take that as a yes.”

Li Zhijian was caught between the two and speechless. Fortunately, Sheng Yan pulled him out with great insight. He looked at himself in the mirror.

The makeup was adjusted according to his three courts and five eyes, the overall look was not particularly heavy, focusing on eye makeup, the light purple eyeshadow showed a bit of exotic style.

Sheng Yan himself was stunned, praising generously, “Honey, you’re so beautiful today.”

“When am I not beautiful?” Li Zhijian asked back.

Sheng Yan smiled foolishly.

He used to play high-IQ handsome guys on the screen, but he didn’t expect to be hooked by Li Zhijian, he always looked like a husky protecting its owner.

Lin Xi had a look of disbelief, while Pei Jiashu next to him was always observing their interaction.

After everyone finished their makeup, they continued to set off. Lin Xi turned off the microphone and asked, “Why are you so familiar with my makeup order? Every makeup artist’s habits are different, do you watch my live streams every day?”

“Mmm.” Pei Jiashu didn’t deny it this time.

“What does mmm mean? When did you start, what is your ID? Confess truthfully.”
