"Open it!"
As soon as Gu Shishi thought about it, the system immediately popped up a message.
[Obtained Summer Skin Refreshing Pill * 1!]
[Effect: The oily days of summer will be completely goodbye to you! Your skin is clear, not oily, not greasy, and has zero pores. It's like the white of a peeled chicken. You will attract attention wherever you go.]
Gu Shishi gasped.
The T-shaped area on her face was still prone to oily in summer. She used oil absorbent paper every day and used toner, but it still could not completely suppress the thickening of her pores.
As she thought about it, she looked at herself in the mirror.
The original body had a good foundation. Her skin was fair and she was beautiful.
However, because of her fair skin, her dark hair and thick pores were especially obvious when she did not put on makeup.
As Gu Shishi thought about it, she took out the pill from the system.
She sniffed and smelled the scent of Chinese medicine.
All medicine was poisonous. She could not take it carelessly.
Gu Shishi cherished her life very much and was very afraid of death.
[The system's reward is a scientific product developed by Chinese and Western medicine. You can eat it without any side effects.]
[Some ingredients can't be found in modern society.]
Gu Shishi raised her eyebrows.
"Alright! Let's give it a try! "
She closed her eyes and only took a small bite.
The taste was not bitter, and it was slightly sweet.
As soon as she swallowed it, she felt a warm current surging into her dantian. Then, her skin felt itchy, as if a feather had lightly brushed past.
She could not help but touch it.
In the end, her hand touched a patch of black oil!
When she took a closer look, there seemed to be some old black hair and white hair mixed in with it …
Gu Shishi quickly walked to the dressing table. Only then did she realize that her face was covered in black stains like a mask.
She quickly opened the drawer of the dressing table, took out a cotton pad, dipped it in some toner, and gently wiped the stains on her face.
Once, twice … After wiping, new stains came out …
In the end, she used half a pack of cotton pads to completely wipe the stains off.
"It's a little effective."
She stared at her fair, jade-like face in the mirror in disbelief.
She immediately threw the remaining half of the pill into her mouth and chewed it as if it was candy.
Soon, stains appeared on her skin again. After wiping it off, she looked at herself in the mirror … Her skin was fair and smooth, and not a single black hair or thick pores could be seen. There was really no blemish on her face. Her entire face looked like it had been polished through the filter of a beautifying camera!
She touched her smooth skin with satisfaction, and it felt a little better to the touch.
The effect was very good!
She laid down on the sofa, satisfied. She looked at the system and sighed.
The male master of the house dotes on her, and the approval of others … What was she supposed to do?
If he wanted to level up, he would have to find Huo Sishen, and if he wanted to level up, he would have to find a random person.
The system wanted her to explore it herself, so she could only try!
As Gu Shishi thought about it, she took out her phone and scanned through her WeChat friend circle to see who she could start with.
But when he casually glanced at it, he found a message from his adoptive mother.
[Mama Jiang: Shishi, Mama wants to open a small wonton shop with a friend! Can you lend Mommy a hundred thousand yuan? Mommy will definitely return it to you when I earn money. I originally wanted to look for Xiao Shuang, but … she doesn't seem to be in good health and doesn't look at her phone much. I'm a little anxious. After this, my friend won't wait for me anymore!]
Gu Shishi raised her eyebrows.
Her adoptive mother couldn't find Gu Wushuang?
Was she deliberately ignoring her biological mother?
[Mama Jiang: Shishi, please help Mama again!]
Gu Shishi sighed.
It was a matter of course to be filial to her parents.
But …
She looked through her bank cards, WeChat, and Alipay. She couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"It's only 800 yuan …"
The original body only had a salary of 4,000 yuan, but she had to transfer 3,500 yuan to her adoptive mother every month to pay off her mortgage.
She only had 500 yuan left for her own living expenses.
She didn't expect her adoptive mother to ask for 100,000 yuan.
"Where can I get so much money?"
Did she think that the original body would be rich just because she went back to the Gu family?
But at the end of the novel, the author clearly wrote that after the adoptive mother found out that the original body was not her biological daughter, she turned to care for Gu Wushuang and completely abandoned the original body.
Later on, when the original body died, the adoptive mother went to the Gu family and made a scene, asking for compensation for her grief!
This kind of behavior of squeezing her adoptive daughter dry was so cold-blooded that it made her shudder!
It had been twenty years. Even raising a dog would give him some feelings.
Not to mention a child she had raised for twenty years …
Did she only have eyes for money?
Gu Shishi shook her head and deeply sympathized with the original body.
She thought about it and sent a screenshot of the monthly transfer to Jiang Meifang, as well as the current bank balance, and replied to Jiang Meifang!
There were no more new messages from the other end of the phone!
At this moment …
"Si Yi, he hasn't slept for three days again? Has he become a deity?! "
A figure in a white coat hurried into the villa.
"Why did you only inform me now? It's too late."
Si Yi, who was leading the way, smiled helplessly.
"Young Master doesn't want to see you, so it's useless for me to ask you to come."
"Taking sleeping pills every three days? Does he want to go to heaven?! Does he think I'm a medicine warehouse?! "
Qin Ruhai was so angry that he was spitting.
He and Huo Sishen grew up together.
After he came back from his advanced studies five years ago, he became his personal physician consultant and was responsible for his long-term physical and psychological treatment.
However, this person was the type of patient that doctors hated the most. He was stubborn, had a bad temper, had big ideas, and didn't listen to the doctor's advice.
Long-term and severe insomnia caused him to be irritable and taciturn, and his symptoms of mysophobia became more obvious.
He was almost thirty years old, but he was more troublesome than a crying child.
Qin Ruhai took a few deep breaths and stood in front of the door before he calmed down.
"Even a man made of iron will be courted death."
"Si Yi, if you don't want your master to die, you have to cooperate with me! Long-term lack of sleep will cause excessive damage to the brain and heart, and it will be difficult to repair. "
Si Yi stopped in his tracks and finally nodded stiffly.
As he spoke, he gently knocked on the door.
"Young Master …"
Qin Ruhai didn't wait for him to finish reporting and had already pushed the door open and entered.
When dealing with patients with deep-rooted weaknesses, he had to use coercive methods.
"Boss, how do you feel now? Dizzy or bloated? "
The man on the sofa raised his bloodshot eyes and looked at the door unhappily.
His voice was hoarse and dull.
"Leave the sleeping pills."
He couldn't sleep all night and couldn't sleep for even a minute. Now, he had a splitting headache and couldn't think.
Except … for that moment in the morning.
Because of that girl's ignorant speech.
He thought of the past.
At that moment, the splitting pain in his head seemed to have eased a little.
Huo Sishen lowered his dark eyes and looked at his right hand silently.
The touch of the girl's soft and tender skin and the soft and sweet smell … seemed to still be there.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and raised the fingertips that had pinched the girl's chin.
But in the next second, he frowned and put down his hand.
There was only the smell of disinfectant!
"Come back to the clinic with me today and do a full body checkup …"
Qin Ruhai shook his head.
"No!"
Huo Sishen's voice was extremely hoarse.
Qin Ruhai almost suffocated.
"Taking sleeping pills is a temporary solution. The dosage you've taken in the past six months has exceeded that of a normal person! This shows that your resistance to drugs is constantly increasing! "
Huo Sishen raised his cold black eyes.
"This is a sign of your incompetence as a doctor. It has nothing to do with me."
"… I!"
Qin Ruhai only wanted to strangle this man to death.
Just as he was about to draw his sword, someone knocked on the door twice.
Soon, a clear and crisp voice, like ice water being poured down in the hottest days of summer, spread out in a cool and refreshing manner.
"Mr. Huo, are you in?"
"May I come in?"
Qin Ruhai's expression instantly became strange.
Was this Death God Huo's third fiancée?
Huo Sishen, who was sitting on the sofa, blinked.
He waved his hand impatiently at Si Yi.
In the blink of an eye, Si Yi grabbed Qin Ruhai by the collar from the back of his neck and led him out of the room in a few big strides.
"F * ck, wait!"
"Miss Gu, please come in."
Si Yi grabbed Qin Ruhai and nodded respectfully at Gu Shishi, who was outside the door.
It was Gu Shishi.
"Thank you."
Although she was curious, she did not take another look at Qin Ruhai and walked into the room without looking sideways.
The door was closed again. The darkness inside made Gu Shishi squint her eyes and stop for a while to adapt to the dim light.
She looked around and realized that the atmosphere was not quite right.
All the curtains in the room were tightly drawn.
It was clearly midsummer, when the sun was at its brightest, but the room was as silent as a dead night.
She looked up and could barely see the man on the sofa.
He seemed to be in an extremely bad mood.
In the darkness, he was like a dormant, violent beast that was slowly awakening!
His dark eyes were sharp and cold, impatient and cold. It was like a whirlpool of a storm, as if he was trying his best to endure something. It was as if he would lose his mind in the next second and tear her into pieces on the spot and devour her …
Goosebumps appeared on the back of Gu Shishi's neck.
The first time they met in the wardrobe, although his expression was cold, his eyes were not as bloodthirsty and sharp as this!
This morning at the restaurant, his eyes were cold, but he calmly shared the disinfectant with her and even bought her a cupboard of clothes.
No matter how she looked at him, he seemed like a good person.
But in such a short time, this person's gaze had become so terrifying?
What happened?
How was she going to gain his favor in this hellish atmosphere?!
Gu Shishi's hesitant footsteps suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
His hoarse and deep voice sounded coldly.
Huo Sishen lowered his gaze and looked at her feet that stopped at the front of the sofa.
A sarcastic smile appeared on his thin lips.
She did not step on it either …
She was just like his mother. She said that she loved him, but her body was far away from his.
"Are you scared?"
Huo Sishen's cold eyes pierced her.
Gu Shishi swallowed her saliva. She did not know if she would be killed if she told the truth.
The look in his eyes was not just a little scary.
A soft laugh came from Huo Sishen's chest.
Humans, even when they were afraid but did not dare to tell the truth, they were all the same.
He had seen such expressions too many times.
Mother, grandmother, younger brother, the maids at home … friends …
Yes, he was a person who brought misfortune to his parents, grandfather, and wife … To everyone, he was a scourge!
"Erm, Mr. Huo, I'm actually here to return the suit. Also, thank you for buying me clothes."
Gu Shishi glanced at his cold and arrogant expression.
She still blurted out the purpose of her visit without thinking.
The smile on Huo Shishen's face instantly turned into a grim expression.
"Throw it away."
The woman who called him 'son' was the same!
She couldn't wait to move all his things out of the mansion. She said that she would let him continue using them, but in fact, she was afraid that she would be tainted by his things and be harmed by him.
The woman in front of him was also afraid now.
She said that she wanted to stay by his side to accompany him in the morning … It was all a lie!
"Get out!"
He could not suppress the anger and pain in his eyes.
"Huh?"
Gu Shishi felt a headache coming on.
Did she say something wrong to upset him?
Oh, did she start the conversation in the wrong way?
She could not increase his favorability!
"Then I'll pass your suit to Si Yi?"
Huo Sishen had a splitting headache. It was a hundred times more painful than before.
When he looked up, he could only vaguely see her delicate and pretty face, which seemed to be more delicate and fair than it was in the morning. Her pink lips were opening and closing, chattering non-stop … She was as annoyed as the birds outside the window.
He raised his hand.
He wanted to tell her to get out, but he couldn't say it.
"Eh? Are you going to take the suit over? "
Gu Shishi saw him stretching out his hand and naturally handed the suit over.
When she got closer, Huo Sishen could smell the faint sweet rose fragrance again …
It was the scent of her body.
He smelled it in the morning too.
It was soft and sweet. It was neither greasy nor astringent.
It reminded him of when he was young and followed the old butler to sprinkle water on the blooming roses in the garden.
It was summer.
At that time, the sun was glaring and the cicadas were chirping tirelessly. He was drenched in sweat until the old butler led him home with a smile …
Gu Shishi handed the suit to him, but accidentally touched his warm hand.
She cried out and tried to pull her hand back, but the other party held it tightly!
His strength was like a pair of pliers. She could not break free at all.
"Boss … Boss Huo?"
Gu Shishi was at a loss.
However, after a few seconds, the strength of his hand that was restraining her gradually loosened.
Gu Shishi looked up and was stunned.
The guy who was unusually fierce on the sofa just now actually had his eyes closed. Even his cold and stiff facial lines were unexpectedly gentler.
His breathing was calm and relaxed.
His thick and long eyelashes cast a shadow on his handsome face. He actually looked like a sleeping and obedient beautiful man.
Was he … asleep?
Gu Shishi stared at him.
