1.1.15: Unexpected Surprise - EDITED

When Mrs. Bao showed Xiao Yunhua a guest room, the elderly woman watched the young woman's reaction to see how she would react above being told to stay in such a room. But Mrs. Bao was astonished when she saw her eyes glittering with amazement. In Mrs. Bao's heart, the young lady had passed a test of some sort.

So it seemed like the young girl wasn't here for the money. Truthfully, Mrs. Bao purposely gave her one of the smallest guest rooms to test her, and the girl had unknowingly passed the test.

"I'll cook something for you to eat after your bath—"

"You don't need to prepare my bath. It's okay, I'll take a shower instead." Xiao Yunhua interrupted.

The old woman frowned but continued, "Alright. Your clothes will be prepared on the bed to be worn afterwards. But before you wear anything, make sure to dry your hair so you don't catch a cold." Mrs. Bao's attitude made Xiao Yunhua feel warm but she quickly shook her head. She couldn't afford to get attached to anyone else here, nonetheless her own boss' housekeeper.

Her eyes glanced at the guest room she was provided with and she felt her gaze harden. This was a temporary living situation, after all. She didn't plan on depending on Wang Yaowan forever.

Her dependence on the handsome man was only because she didn't have any money, home, and she couldn't get much of a job anyway due to her age. Sure, she might get some money from her new job, but it wouldn't be enough unless she got a second job just to pay for the bills and such. So thus, Xiao Yunhua didn't feel shameful when grabbing onto the hand that was offered.

But that didn't mean that she was going to take advantage of the hand offered. It was only temporary. Her last sentence, Xiao Yunhua chanted like a mantra in her head as she stripped down her dirty uniform.

Ever since her bath incident in her previous life, she had never agreed on taking a bath. Even when her grandmother insisted, she always took showers instead. Why? It was such a traumatic experience, she didn't want the possibility of drowning again. Sure she did it herself, as it was a suicide, but she wasn't in the right state of mind at that point. So no matter what, for Xiao Yunhua, she would take showers instead.

Once she finished taking a shower, she plugged in the hairdryer and used the comb to clean her former, greasy hair. Now, it was smooth and luxurious as before, although having lost a bit of its volume due to her lack of care. Xiao Yunhua glanced at the large, stretched mirror in front of her. She saw a pretty face staring back at her, but the pretty face had some problems. First off, it was excessively pale and dark circles were around the eyes, and the face wasn't perfect, like a goddess was destined to be. Her body wasn't overweight like her previous life, but it wasn't amazing either.

Xiao Yunhua felt ugly.

In either lifetime, was she destined to be like this? She glanced at the pretty face and saw that the eyes were gleaming with a hunger of some sort. A desire. She wanted to be beautiful. A twist personification of beauty was forming in her head.

Xiao Yunhua felt as though beauty would solve all her problems right now. Her eyes subconsciously dulled and she found her hand touching the mirror.

How she longed to be beautiful...

<<Host! Snap out of it!>> Xiao Taotao's voice urgently rung in her head. Xiao Yunhua's glazed eyes snapped back into life and were no longer dull.

She blinked a few times and mentally asked Xiao Taotao what happened. All she could remember was drying her hair. Everything afterwards was completely blank in her photographic memory.

<<I... I'm not sure. Host, don't panic for now and just stay put.>> Xiao Taotao's hesitance made Xiao Yunhua assume there was more than what the little fairy was telling her. But she also knew that she didn't have the power right now to find out what the secret behind this so-called attaining of goddess beauty?
