Chen Kexin had on a swimsuit that exposed her back, but low and behold, she had a couple of pimples on her back .
Chen Kexin, concealer and foundation in hand, seemed to want to cover them up . But, as the pimples were uneven, that wasn’t an easy task .
“Need some help?” asked Gu Shishi after she watched Chen Kexin for a little bit .
Chen Kexin startled and almost dropped her foundation .
When she turned around and saw that it was just Gu Shishi and nobody else, she let out a sigh of relief .
“Oh, it’s you . You scared me . ”
After that had slipped out of her, Chen Kexin’s look became complicated all over again .
Why was it that she felt alright when it was Gu Shishi?
Would she not be alright if it was anyone else?
Wait . Something wasn’t right here . Wasn’t she friends with the others?
Her relationship with Gu Shishi was just buyer and seller!
But, quickly, she figured out why she felt what she felt .
Gu Shishi pulled out a bottle of hand sanitizer from her purse and disinfected her hands .
She looked at the make up on the table and said to her, “Want me to draw you a plum blossom?”
“Plum, plum blossom?”
Chen Kexin got it now . She felt relieved because Gu Shishi was always calm and never panicked when something happened .
If it was any other one of her girlfriends, they’d just yak .
In fact, she had a pretty good idea what they’d say .
Most likely along the line of “Oh, Keke, what did you eat yesterday that brought this?”, “What brand of body lotion have you been using? It’s kind of oily . You need to switch to a different brand . ”, “Ah, you need to go see a doctor for this . ”, or “Guess you won’t be able to wear anything that will show your back today . What a bummer . ”… . or something equally useless .

They’d only irritate her more .
But now… Gu Shishi wanted to draw her a plum blossom?
“Yeah, the skin on your back is fairly pale . And your swimsuit today is a light yellow color . A plum blossom would complement them very well . ”
Having said that, Gu Shishi picked up her bright red lipstick and an earth tone eyeshadow .
“Except that you won’t be able to go into the water today . And don’t have a towel on your back . That’d smear it . ”
Chen Kexin thought about it for a little bit . Plum blossoms on her back .
That sounded pretty… so what if she couldn’t go into the water?
She can watch the others play from the shore . She just needed to be pretty .
Plus, it’d be done by Gu Shishi . That’s worth at least tens of thousands of millions . No way she’d put a towel over her back!

She would only be too busy showing it off!
“No problem!” replied Chen Kexin immediately .
“Gu Shishi had enraged Pingting . ”
“Hehe, Pingting’s piano is good enough to perform overseas . Who did that Gu Shishi think she is?”
“Speaking of, we should be happy that she is so ignorant . Lucky for us all! We don’t get to hear Pingting’s performance all the time!”
Chen Kexin’s cheeks burned a little . She recognized the voices .
They belonged to a couple of her girlfriends from their WeChat chat group .
She glanced over at Gu Shishi and felt somewhat uncomfortable all of a sudden .
She prayed that the ones standing by the door would leave soon, but they kept on chatting .
“Speaking of, where is Keke? I didn’t see her downstairs . ”

“Shhhh… don’t talk too loudly . She had a breakout on her back . It was awful… and she had a backless swimsuit… . I never even think that her back was all that . And now… tsk tsk tsk…”
“For real? Let’s go . Let’s go . Let’s talk downstairs . ”
There were three to four dressing rooms on the second floor .
The footsteps resumed and Chen Kexin’s face looked awful .
She never would have thought that her girlfriends from her group would talk about her like that behind her back .
She felt very emotional all of a sudden .
The two years that she had studied abroad, she had kept in touch with all of them .
She thought she had been nice to everyone and that she had a good relationship with everyone .
But now… what she got in return were friends who’d talk about how awful she looked behind her back?!
Chen Kexin clenched her fists .
