Chapter 47: The Natural Beauty

Chapter 47: The Natural Beauty

The entire room erupted in excitement as Zuo Shaoyuan stood up angrily, saying, "If you’re confessing, just confess—why hold hands?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Have you ever been in a relationship?" Xu Liangxuan asked An Wen.

An Wen’s peach-blossom eyes narrowed slightly as she smiled gently and replied, "No, I haven’t."

"Then let me teach you," Xu Liangxuan said softly.

The audience cheered.

An Wen’s smile deepened. "Then you’d better study hard, so you don’t end up teaching me nonsense."

Xu Liangxuan was utterly defeated. Wu Lei turned to An Wen and said, "We’re all moved here—how come you’re not even a little flustered?"

"I was just thinking that if someone wants to be a teacher, they should have enough knowledge to teach at that level," An Wen replied.

"Are you a science major?" Wu Lei asked.

An Wen nodded, and Wu Lei immediately wore an "I knew it" expression.

"To deal with a science girl, I’ve decided to deploy Li Yuebin—the Heartthrob King," Wu Lei announced.

As soon as Li Yuebin stood up, music began playing. Tall and handsome with delicate features, he had made many female celebrities’ heart rates soar past 125 beats per minute.

But as he approached An Wen, he inexplicably grew shy. Wu Lei laughed and said, "Bin, what’s wrong with you today? This isn’t like you!"

Li Yuebin covered his face with a bashful smile. "I have no resistance to girls with long, straight hair."

Zuo Shaoyuan, sprawled on the sofa like a displeased lord, grumbled, "Is this some new strategy or what?"

Li Yuebin lowered his hands and looked at An Wen, his lips curling uncontrollably. "Guess which side my heart is on?"

"The left."

"Wrong…" Li Yuebin smiled tenderly. "It’s on your side."

An Wen froze, then said, "So… am I being confessed to by a corpse now?"

"HAHAHAHA—" The room exploded with laughter, and Zuo Shaoyuan clapped his hands in amusement!

Li Yuebin clutched his chest in mock pain and retreated. Next up was Zuo Shaoyuan, who had been acting all high and mighty earlier but completely lost his nerve in front of An Wen.

Locking eyes with her, he was so overwhelmed by her gentle gaze that he cried out for help. Finally, he mustered the courage to ask, "Can you swim?"

"Yes."

"That’s great, because we’re about to fall into love." Immediately after saying this, he turned shy again.

Wu Lei sighed in exasperation. "How do you manage to embarrass yourself while confessing to someone?"

An Wen laughed too.

Last came Yang Ziming, who suddenly clutched his chest and exclaimed, "Ah, my heart hurts so much!"

An Wen was baffled. "Why?"

Yang Ziming put on a deeply affectionate expression. "Because you’re stuck in it."

An Wen couldn’t hold back her laughter. "I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to get stuck there. If it really hurts, maybe you should get surgery to remove me."

"HAHAHAHA—" The room roared with laughter again.

The joke was so funny that even after everyone returned to their seats, they were still chuckling.

Next was the segment where the princess’s vanity table was showcased. An Wen’s table had very few items, most of them skincare products.

After explaining their uses, the preparation for makeup began. The look An Wen wanted was the peach blossom makeup.

The princes applied makeup on mannequins while the princess observed from another room, then assigned them tasks.

Xu Liangxuan was responsible for foundation and eyebrows, Li Yuebin for eye makeup and eyeliner, Zuo Shaoyuan for lashes and lips, and Yang Ziming for blush and contouring.

The princess and prince put on heart rate monitoring watches together.

An Wen sat in the room waiting for the prince to arrive. The first to enter was Xu Liangxuan. When An Wen saw him, she smiled at him.

Xu Liangxuan walked up to her, took his hand from behind his back, and handed her a flower, saying, "This is for you. Actually, you're even more beautiful than this flower."

"Thank you," An Wen replied as she accepted the flower.

Xu Liangxuan gazed at An Wen tenderly, reaching out to tuck her long hair behind her ear. Softly, he said, "Your hair is so lovely."

"Thank you."

Meanwhile, the male guests watching from the other side commented, "This scene looks like they're dating."

Zuo Shaoyuan, glaring at the screen, shouted angrily, "Do the makeup! Hurry up and do the makeup! What are you chatting about?"

"Hahahaha…" Wu Lei and the others burst into laughter.

"Shaoyuan is acting so weird today!"

His angry shouts reached the room where An Wen was. Xu Liangxuan said, "Ignore him."

On his side, Zuo Shaoyuan grumbled irritably, "It's been so long, and they still haven't started the makeup."

The foundation application began, and the camera zoomed in on An Wen's face—her flawless, porcelain skin without a single blemish. The observing male guests couldn't help but marvel.

"Her skin is really amazing."

"A natural beauty."

...

Xu Liangxuan also praised, "Your skin is truly perfect."

"Thank you," An Wen replied with a gentle smile.

Then, as music played, Xu Liangxuan's heart rate spiked past 125, triggering a "heartbeat task"—the prince and princess had to maintain eye contact for 15 seconds.

Xu Liangxuan and An Wen locked eyes. An Wen's peach-blossom eyes curved slightly as she gazed at him tenderly. After just 3 seconds, Xu Liangxuan covered his eyes shyly and said, "No, you can't look at me so gently."

An Wen was bewildered.

The others outside were already laughing hysterically. Wu Lei called out, "An Wen, glare at him a little!"

"Okay," An Wen agreed, then fixed Xu Liangxuan with a fierce stare.

"She's so adorable," Li Yuebin remarked with a sigh.

After Xu Liangxuan finished applying her makeup, he walked out and, upon seeing the others, pretended to wobble weakly, leaning on the table. "She's terrifying," he said.

"Let me tell you, your heart rate went through the roof, while hers was only at 95. She’s impossible to flirt with," Wu Lei teased.

Xu Liangxuan made an exaggerated expression of defeat.

The next to enter was the "Heartthrob King," Li Yuebin. The whole group cheered him on!

"Go for it! You're our only hope!"

Li Yuebin opened the door and stepped inside. When An Wen saw him and smiled, Li Yuebin immediately turned shy.

Wu Lei commented, "Binbin’s acting strange today too—he’s actually blushing. He never gets shy."

"That’s why I’m telling you, she’s really scary. Especially those eyes… they’re too beautiful. When she looks at you softly, it’s impossible to resist," Xu Liangxuan complained.

"Hello," An Wen greeted Li Yuebin politely.

"Hello," he replied.

He approached her and said, "I’m here to do your eye makeup and eyeliner."

"Mm."

Li Yuebin was tall, so he bent down and gently lifted her chin. An Wen obeyed obediently, her large, dewy eyes fixed on him.

Li Yuebin carefully swept her long hair over her shoulder, his movements deliberately slow. From the camera’s angle, their side profiles looked breathtakingly perfect together.

"Oh my god, it’s like a drama!" Wu Lei exclaimed.

Beside him, Zuo Shaoyuan fumed, "What are you doing? Why are you touching her hair? It’s not like you’re dyeing it!"

"Hahahaha…" Wu Lei and the others couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction.

"Your eyes are really beautiful," Li Yuebin praised.

"Thank you, but do we have to do this in slow motion? My neck is a bit uncomfortable," An Wen replied.

Her words completely shattered the romantic atmosphere, and everyone outside burst into laughter.

"Her neck is uncomfortable, so hurry up with the makeup already! Honestly!" Zuo Shaoyuan grumbled in dissatisfaction, while Yang Ziming comforted him with a shoulder massage.

"Bro, don’t be mad!"
