Light Makeup, Short Choppy Hair
Saturday, April 29, 2023, sunny, 12~23°C.
At 6 a. m., Tang Song slowly opened his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of temporal and spatial dislocation enveloped him, both hazy and clear, both relieved and melancholy.
He sat up, Wei Xiao spreading across his face.
Accompanied by a pleasant text message notification tone, Tang Song quickly pulled himself out of his deep dream.
Looking around, everything became real and vivid.
Simulated instances are truly amazing. When you're actually in one, you feel a sense of urgency and immersion, but when you return to the real world, you can immediately shake off those emotions.
It felt like I had actually had a dream.
Of course, the gains were also quite substantial.
Perhaps because it was the first time the dungeon was opened, not only was the difficulty extremely low, but the rewards were also exceptionally high.
First, the most difficult-to-improve basic attribute, Comprehension, has increased by 1 point.
There are also Beginner Japanese and Guitar Performance.
The Beginner Japanese reward from the dungeon is roughly equivalent to the N4 level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).
Having only mastered basic Japanese pronunciation, vocabulary, and simple grammar, I can have simple daily conversations and read, but I am far from reaching the level in my dream.
The Guitar Performance skills have been completely preserved at the level in the dungeon, absolutely at the performance level.
Tang Song pondered it carefully, and even the experiences and feelings of his hard work and performance in the dream were still in his mind, as if they were his own personal experiences.
His skills are not something that can be forcibly injected into him, but rather the precious fruit of talent, passion, and hard work.
Her long, slender, fair fingers moved in the air, mimicking the vibration of a guitar string, and in sync, a clear guitar sound seemed to echo in her mind.
With hands that Male God's Hand, his fingers are more dexterous, precise, strong, and have greater endurance than the character in his dream.
For a moment, Tang Song were truly itching to get their hands on it.
I definitely need to buy a good guitar!
After taking a shower, I looked at myself naked in the mirror.
My stomach has completely flattened out, and you can still see some muscle lines when I exert myself slightly.
The fat on my arms and thighs has also thinned out considerably.
My whole body seems to have become younger.
Complete your skincare routine carefully and get dressed properly.
Tang Song drove to the same barbershop as before and found the familiar Teacher Tony.
I opened the photo Minmin sent and handed it to Tony. "I want to try this short, choppy hairstyle. The sides shouldn't be too slicked back, and the top should be 6-7 centimeters long with some fluffy, textured spiky hair."
Teacher Tony, carefully examined the photo and nodded, saying, "No problem, this hairstyle really suits you. However, to achieve the best results, we need to add a little Morgan Perm. Is that acceptable?"
"Okay, let's go!"
"Click-click-click—" "Buzz buzz buzz—"
Nearly two hours later, Teacher Tony dried his hair, styled it, and said with a smile, "How does it look? I think it's great."
Tang Song opened his eyes and turned his head left and right.
The effect was a bit beyond expectations; the irregularly cut, choppy hair looked natural and casual.
Adding Morgan Perm creates a sophisticated, voluminous look with smooth, rich layers.
After leaving the barbershop, Tang Song went directly to Cloud Prosperity Plaza.
I spent quite a while browsing the beauty section on the first floor and bought all the cosmetics on the list that Yao Yao Ling sent me.
Unlike girls who pursue a more refined look with their makeup, boys only need to apply a good base, so they don't need many things, and they are all very common.
Back to Freshheart Gardens.
Tang Song posted a picture of the cosmetics in the group chat, commenting, "Ling Ling, I've bought all the equipment. Let me know when you're free; I need your video guidance."
The message was replied to very quickly.
Ling Ling: "Okay, we're eating in the mall right now, we'll go home in a bit!"
Tang Song: "No rush, take your time."
1 p. m.
"Ding ding ding—" The WeChat video notification sound rang out.
Tang Song answered the video call, placed the Mobile Phone on the stand, and held it directly in front of his face.
Immediately afterwards, the upper half of a girl's face appeared in the frame, peeking out somewhat.
During their first video chat, Yao Yao Ling seemed a little shy, not nearly as outgoing and bold as she is online.
Tang Song waved to the front-facing camera, "Good afternoon, Ling Ling."
Before Yao Lingling could speak, another girl poked her head out and pushed her aside. "Hi April, I'm Minmin. Your new hairstyle really suits you. To be honest, you look even more handsome in the video than in the photos. Our Ling Ling is blushing."
"Go to hell!" Yao Lingling pushed her head away, her slightly flushed face appearing on the screen.
She has an oval face, a high ponytail, a fresh and clean appearance, even skin tone, and soft features.
Although it's not particularly beautiful, it looks comfortable and pleasing to the eye overall.
Yao Lingling blinked and smiled, "Alright, little brother, let's get down to business and start now."
"Okay." Tang Song quickly laid out the cosmetics in front of her and placed the newly bought makeup mirror next to her Mobile Phone.
"First, brighten your complexion. Take out a pump of foundation; this one is lightweight and quick-drying, making it more suitable for men. Spread it evenly with your fingers, yes, like this... gently pat it onto the center of your face..."
"The second step is concealer. Compare the colors and see which one is closest to your skin tone..."
"Okay, the makeup setting is done! The next step, contouring, is a bit complicated, and you won't be able to learn it in a short time. This is fine!"
Then, two other girls joined in.
Li Shumin exclaimed with Jing Jing eyes, "Wow! Makeup really makes a difference, he looks so handsome!"
"He's got a good foundation; he's naturally handsome!"
Tang Song faced the window and looked at himself in the mirror.
With light makeup, his skin became even and fair, and the small acne scars, spots, and blackheads on his face were no longer visible.
It's like they've applied some beauty filters; not exaggerated, but very effective.
Paired with a freshly cut short, choppy hairstyle, it looks refreshing and handsome.
This would likely catch the eye of Tian Jing, a Bai Fumei, and improve her impression of the date.
The Tang Song camera gave a thumbs up, "It's even better than I imagined. Thank you for your help, Ling Ling."
Yao Lingling rested her chin on her hands and said with a grin, "You're welcome, you're welcome! Watching you transform yourself little by little gives me a sense of accomplishment. Keep it up!"
After hanging up the video call, Tang Song casually sent a lucky draw red envelope in the group chat.
The message read, "I'm so sorry to have interrupted your shopping trip. I'll treat you to a Milk Tea."
Minmin: General Xie
Little Red Riding Hood: General Xie. (gif)
Ling Ling: General Xie
Minmin: "(#winking) Ling Ling, how come you only have 4 yuan? I have 10 times as much as you, hehe."
Little Red Riding Hood: "Ling Ling, I am 14 times your size."
Ling Ling: "I don't care, the young man treated us to Milk Tea together, so this 100 yuan should be considered a Milk Tea fund for the three of us, and it should be calculated together!"
Once a red envelope is sent out, the group chat instantly becomes incredibly lively.
Tang Song couldn't help but laugh as he watched the three girls fighting amongst themselves in the group chat.
After thinking for a moment, I clicked on Ling Ling's profile picture and sent her a small red envelope separately.
This netizen has been following him since his first post and has given him a lot of good advice along the way. Today, he even spent time making a video to guide him, so he should be treated differently.
