Chapter 314

Su Meng, standing aside, was nearly stunned.

So this whole thing involves me too?

Under normal circumstances, their makeup wouldn't be so easily ruined.

But stage makeup differs from daily makeup; to achieve better visual effects on camera, the makeup is usually applied much more heavily.

With tears flowing and constant wiping, even the slightest smudge of makeup becomes extremely obvious.

The problem is, this beautiful dancer has an incredibly low laugh threshold.

She actually laughed her own makeup into ruin?

At this moment, Zhu Jiejing was already panicking.

"Quick, quick, quick, help me touch up my makeup; our next performance is up."

The makeup artist was nearly in tears.

"Sister Zhu, with only these few minutes, even if I grew three heads and six arms, it wouldn't be enough~~!"

"This is the Spring Festival Gala stage, where the cameras zoom right into your face!"

"If the makeup is even slightly uncoordinated, it will be infinitely magnified; by that time..."

Zhu Jiejing was nearly in tears too.

For this Spring Festival Gala dance, she had rehearsed with the young dancers for a long time, striving to achieve the best possible effect.

But now... it's completely ruined!

You must know, this dance is meant to convey ultimate beauty, and every single detail is indispensable.

If the makeup is smudged, then even if the dance is performed perfectly.

To the audience, it would look as conspicuous as a fly suddenly appearing in a bowl of fragrant rice porridge.

Could her program really be ruined like this?

Thinking of this, Zhu Jiejing instantly lost all hope.

Others thought of this too, and the scene instantly fell into a deathly silence.

"Ahem! How about I give it a try?"

In the silence, someone cleared his throat and interjected.

Give it a try? Everyone turned toward the sound and saw an old farmer walking in from outside the crowd.

Some people were almost about to curse loudly.

This is makeup application; do you think it's tending crops in the fields?

But immediately afterward, they felt something was off.

This is the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala; where did this old farmer come from?

Looking closely...

"Holy crap! It's Su Meng... Teacher Su!"

Someone cried out in shock.

Only then did everyone realize that who had stepped forward but Su Meng himself?

Su Meng chuckled.

"I also have a slight understanding of makeup; how about I give it a try?"

His words reminded everyone.

Many people suddenly remembered that Su Meng's makeup technique was a heaven-defying existence!

During the recent "Flash Girls," he had actually transformed Deng Ziqi into a man!

The makeup on the other few people had directly pulled a group of female stars back to the age of sixteen or seventeen!

Putting aside the distant past, just this old farmer's appearance right here was also applied by himself.

A slight understanding of makeup?

You're being far too modest!

You've clearly already reached the supreme realm of reversing yin and yang and crossing time and space, haven't you?

The makeup artist, being a professional, knew even better how heaven-defying Su Meng's technique was.

Upon hearing that Su Meng was about to act, she was like someone who had just spotted a savior.

She hurriedly handed over the makeup case.

"Teacher Su, sorry to trouble you; we're counting entirely on you!"

Time was tight, and there was no time to go to the makeup room.

Su Meng glanced over, casually picked up a blush brush, and swept it back and forth across Zhu Jiejing's face.

He chuckled while speaking.

"Hehe, Sister Zhu's mishap this time was ultimately caused by me, after all."

"Out of both emotion and reason, I cannot stand idly by... Sister Zhu, please stop laughing..."

Seeing his outfit, Zhu Jiejing couldn't help but want to laugh.

But knowing the situation was urgent, she quickly took several deep breaths and began to adjust her state of mind.

Moments later, several exclamations suddenly arose from the crowd.

A young dancer cried out in sudden excitement.

"Wow, Sister Zhu, you look so beautiful!"

The makeup artist stared with wide, unblinking eyes.

"This... how little time has passed?"

"I spent a whole hour before, yet I still can't match your few casual strokes?"

Su Meng continued his work while speaking casually.

"Your foundation was already excellent; I merely added flowers to the brocade."

The makeup artist shook her head firmly.

"Teacher Su, hearing you say that makes me feel deeply ashamed."

"What you did is truly adding the finishing touch to the dragon's eyes!"

"Moreover, this makeup fully brings out Sister Zhu's temperament."

"Most importantly, this makeup is a perfect match for this dance!"

"Compared to you, I am simply defiling the craft of makeup."

Many dancers nearby also nodded silently, their gazes upon Zhu Jiejing filled with envy.

This is too beautiful!

Gentle and graceful, it displayed the delicacy and refinement of a Jiangnan woman to the fullest extent.

This was not a dressing room, nor were there makeup mirrors; Zhu Jiejing did not know what she looked like now.

Seeing others constantly exclaiming, her heart felt as if a hundred claws were scratching it.

However, she had indeed weathered many battles and seen great scenes.

Seeing everyone's reaction, she knew the makeup issue was resolved.

She finally calmed her mind to focus on adjusting her state.

The effect of the sketch "Buying a Stick" was simply too good.

So much so that for the following acts, the audience had no mind for them, still immersed in the sketch's joy and unable to extricate themselves.

Until a soft melody sounded.

Streams gurgled, mist swirled, and a graceful Jiangnan woman walked slowly from the stepping-stone bridge.

Like Xi Shi washing silk, her steps were light, making people feel as if they were in the misty rain of Jiangnan.

A breathtakingly beautiful Jiangnan scroll slowly unfurled.

This wonderful scene instantly pulled everyone into it.

"Wow~~~ Sister Zhu is so beautiful, so fairy-like!"

Xiao Xiao Yueyue, seeing this scene backstage, had both eyes turn into little stars.

Immediately, he grew urgent.
