Chapter 47: Natural Beauty

That had definitely stirred up the crowd. Zhuo Shaoyuan, filled with annoyance, stood up and shouted, “You don’t have to hold her hands when you confess!”

Everyone roared with laughter.

Xu Liangxuan posed a question to An Wen. “Do you know what it takes to fall in love?”

She revealed a sweet smile that pushed up those peach blossom eyes. “No, I don’t,” she said.

“Please, allow me to teach you,” replied Xu Liangxuan gently.

Everyone present booed at him.

The grin on An Wen’s face widened. “Well, in that case, you better study hard so you can teach me the right ways,” she responded.

Xu Liangxuan suffered a crushing defeat. “How are you not affected at all? Even we were moved by his words,” Wu Lei asked An Wen.

“I was just thinking that a good teacher has to be equipped with sufficient knowledge that’s applicable to the student’s level,” responded An Wen.

“Is it possible that you’re a science student?” the host asked again.

An Wen nodded as a reply. Immediately, Wu Lei’s facial expression showed that he had guessed correctly.

“I’ve decided to send out Li Yuebin, also known as Flirt King Bin, to deal with this science student,” mentioned Wu Lei.

The music started playing as soon as Li Yuebin rose to his feet. He was tall and lean; no doubt a handsome man who was blessed with prominent facial features. Numerous female guest stars who participated in the show prior to this had the rate of their heartbeat shoot up to over 125 per minute when he flirted with them.

However, he started blushing when he walked nearer towards An Wen. “Bin, what’s wrong with you today? It’s not like you to be shy!” teased Wu Lei.

Li Yuebin covered his face and beamed shyly. He said, “I can’t resist girls with long, straight hair like hers.”

Zhuo Shaoyuan positioned himself on the couch like a wayward man. “Is this some sort of strategy?” he said in annoyance.

Li Yuebin moved his hands away from his face and beamed uncontrollably at An Wen. In a soft and gentle voice, he asked, “Can you guess where my heart is?”

“On the left side.”

“Wrong…” Li Yuebin let out an affable smile before continuing, “It’s with you.”

An Wen was slightly surprised, but then she replied with a question, “Does it mean I’ve just been confessed to by a corpse?”

“Hahahaha…” Everyone burst out laughing at that comment. Zhuo Shaoyuan even started clapping his hands.

Li Yuebin put a palm over his heart and walked away, pretending to be wounded. Next, it was Zhuo Shaoyuan’s turn. The man, who behaved like a defiant man earlier, turned timid as a mouse in front of An Wen.

He could not think straight when holding An Wen’s tender gaze. Alas, he gathered his nerves to ask, “Do you know how to swim?”

“Yes.”

“That’s perfect, for we’re going to fall into the river of love.” He blushed again in her presence.

Wu Lei was not satisfied because Zhuo Shaoyuan did not perform up to his expectations. “How could you blush at your own confession?”

An Wen chuckled.

Finally, Yang Ziming went up to the girl. Suddenly, he covered his chest with a hand and cried out, “Ah, my heart hurts!”

An Wen was taken aback. “Why?” she asked.

Yang Ziming replied with deep affection, “Because you’re stuck here in my heart.”

An Wen could not resist a giggle. “I’m sorry…” she said, “I wasn’t stuck in there on purpose. You should have it surgically removed if it really hurts.”

“Hahaha…” Everyone cracked up at that retaliation.

It was so hilarious that people were still in stitches when the man returned to his seat on the couch.

The next segment showed the princess’s vanity table. There were not many cosmetics but mainly skincare products on An Wen’s dressing table.

After explaining the purpose of those products, the show moved on to present the makeup preparation. An Wen had chosen the peach blossom makeup.

The princes were assigned to observe the process in another room that had a mannequin princess set up. They were to be given their respective tasks briefly.

Xu Liangxuan was tasked with foundation and eyebrows; Li Yuebin was tasked with eyeshadow and eyeliner; Zhuo Shaoyuan was tasked with eyelashes and lips; whereas Yang Ziming was tasked with blush and contour.

The princess and the princes were required to wear a watch that tracked the heart rates.

In the other room, An Wen was patiently waiting for the arrival of the prince. The first one to enter was Xu Liangxuan and she beamed in his direction.

Xu Liangxuan stood in front of her and revealed a flower from behind his back. “This is for you,” he said, “although I think you’re more beautiful than this flower.”

“Thank you,” she said as she received the flower.

Xu Liangxuan looked at An Wen with a tender expression. Then, gently, he tucked her hair behind her ear and complimented her, “You have lovely hair.”

“Thanks.”

The men who were observing in the other room started a heated discussion. “They look like they’re actually dating.”

Zhuo Shaoyuan shouted at the screen angrily, “Go on and start helping her with the makeup! Just cut to the chase!”

“Hahahaha…” The rest of the guys laughed.

“Shaoyuan is so out-of-character today!”

His roaring was heard in the other room where An Wen was at. “Ignore him,” said Xu Liangxuan.

Zhuo Shaoyuan, on the other hand, could not stop complaining. “It’s been so long, but he’s not even started the task yet.”

The foundation was being applied and the cameraman zoomed into a close-up shot of An Wen’s face. Her fair skin revealed not even a single flaw. The observing male guests could not hide their admiration.

“Her skin is amazing.”

“Natural beauty.”

…

“Your skin is in really good condition,” Xu Liangxuan did not hold back his compliment too.

“Thanks,” An Wen replied to him with a gentle smile.

The music started playing in the background the moment Xu Liangxuan’s heartbeat went up to the rate of 125 per minute. Hence, they had to complete the heartbeat mission: having to hold each other’s gaze for fifteen seconds.

Xu Liangxuan looked into her eyes. An Wen’s peach blossom eyes curved slightly and her gaze was overflowing with tenderness. Xu Liangxuan’s hands covered his eyes three seconds later and he said to her shyly, “Don’t do that, please don’t look at me with such affection.”

An Wen was confused.

The observers from the other room were already laughing tears. “An Wen, try to look fierce,” said Wu Lei.

“Okay.” Hence, An Wen looked straight at him with her piercing gaze.

“She’s too adorable,” exclaimed Li Yuebin.

Xu Liangxuan left the room after completing his task. He pretended to be all weak in the knees and held onto the table for support when he saw the other men. “She’s terrifying,” he commented.

“Your heart rate has spiked through the roof but hers only reached 95 per minute. She’s a tough one,” said Wu Lei.

Xu Liangxuan wore a look of utter defeat.

The second person to complete his mission was Flirt King Li Yuebin. Everyone yelled encouraging words at him.

“All the best! You’re our hope!”

Li Yuebin opened the door and walked towards her. She grinned from ear to ear at his arrival and that had his face flushed with shyness.

Wu Lei uttered, “Even Bin Bin was not in his elements today. Is he blushing? He’s never been shy in front of girls before.”

“That’s why I said she’s terrifying, especially those eyes… They’re absolutely beautiful. You have no resistance when she looks at you gently,” explained Xu Liangxuan.

“Hi,” greeted An Wen politely.

“Hi,” he replied.

“I’m here to help you with eyeshadow and eyeliner,” he added when he approached her.

“Okay.”

Li Yuebin was a tall man, hence he lowered his head to lift her chin. An Wen allowed him to do so while looking straight at him with her watery eyes.

He tucked her hair to the back of her shoulder in an extremely slow movement. Both their profiles were stunning through the camera lens.

“Oh gosh, this is an idol drama!” Wu Lei blurted.

Zhuo Shaoyuan who was on the side yelled, “What’s he doing? He’s not tasked to dye her hair so why is he touching them?”

“Hahahaha…” Wu Lei and the rest could not hide their laughter.

“You have enchanting eyes,” complimented Li Yuebin.

“Thanks, but must you move so slowly? My neck’s starting to strain a little,” replied An Wen.

Her words completely changed the atmosphere in the room. Everyone in the other room laughed uncontrollably at her comment.

“Speed it up, man! She’s starting to feel uncomfortable in the neck!” Zhuo Shaoyuan complained. Yang Ziming tried to comfort him and started massaging his shoulders.

“Bro, let’s not be angry!”
