"It's really nothing, Xiaojie, how long has it been since you looked in the mirror?"
Ouyang Mingkai didn't think the birthmark was that scary. Although the birthmark was as big as a thumb and would affect the beauty of his face, there was nothing to feel inferior about.
Zhao Ruijie was pulled by Ouyang Mingkai and came to the mirror.
"It's ugly." After taking a look, Zhao Ruijie covered the birthmark with her hand.
"No, you have a pair of beautiful eyes. Your eyes are very clear, just like a newborn baby, and your skin is very good. A mere birthmark will not affect anything. You have to believe in yourself, you are the best Zhao Ruijie
, you are the unique Zhao Ruijie."
Ouyang Mingkai encouraged. Although Zhao Ruijie didn't say anything, from her expression and her resistance, he could imagine how much hurt she had suffered because of this birthmark.
"Am I unique?" Zhao Ruijie touched the birthmark with her hand.
"Yes, are you willing to let the stylist try it?" Ouyang Mingkai stood behind her. He believed that the stylist would be able to find a way.
"Didn't you say it's not ugly?"
After hearing Ouyang Mingkai's words, Zhao Ruijie smiled bitterly.
"It's not ugly, but you mind because it covers your beauty. In that case, why not let the stylist try it on"
Ouyang Mingkai took Zhao Ruijie's glasses. He always thought they were myopia glasses, but he didn't expect them to be flat glasses.
"Don't you feel tired with such heavy glasses on the bridge of your nose? Look, there are marks here." Ouyang Mingkai gently touched the bridge of Zhao Ruijie's nose with one hand.
He didn't mean to take advantage, it was just an instinct. Zhao Ruijie saw herself in his eyes, and then said with determination: "Then let the stylist come in and give it a try."
Over the years, glasses have become a part of her. She is still a little uncomfortable taking them off suddenly, but Kaikai is right. Such thick glasses are really heavy on the bridge of her nose. I wonder if she is suffering from it.
Affected by his words, Zhao Ruijie felt that the bridge of her nose seemed to be a little collapsed. She reached out to touch it, but unexpectedly touched Ouyang Mingkai's hand.
Their hands went numb for a while, and they both retracted them at the same time.
"The static electricity reaction is really strong, Vice President, please go and hire a stylist."
Zhao Ruijie retracted her hand and said awkwardly.
Ouyang Mingkai was also a little embarrassed and turned around to call the stylist.
When the stylist who was called in saw Zhao Ruijie taking off her glasses, she was indeed a little surprised, but she did not show any contempt or disgust. Instead, she said seriously: "Your face is very beautiful, very oriental. I have thought of what style to use."
Already."
"Sorry to trouble you, Xiaojie, do you need me here?
Ouyang Mingkai actually wanted to stay here, but he was afraid that Zhao Ruijie would be uncomfortable, so he asked.
"You'd better go out and wait, I'm not used to it."
Sure enough, Ouyang Mingkai nodded and went outside to wait.
"Miss, I think you can consider getting a tattoo here. That will not only make your whole face more vivid, but also make you more confident." She looked at Zhao Ruijie's birthmark and said.
"Tattoo?" Zhao Ruijie was stunned and put her hand on her forehead again.
"Yes, that would be much better, but it's definitely too late today, but I can let you see the effect first."
The stylist said and left, but came in after a while. This time he came in with paint in his hand.
"Is this a tulip?" Zhao Ruijie exclaimed as she looked at the flower at the corner of her eyebrow.
"Yes, but I don't think tulips can fully express your temperament. It's just that I can't think of a better flower for the time being. But look, this one is completely different."
Zhao Ruijie stared blankly at herself in the mirror. The black birthmark turned into tulip flowers. It was natural, beautiful, and had a sense of mystery, just like what the stylist said.
"If Miss is really concerned, you can go to the hospital. This is just melanin and can be removed."
The stylist thought Zhao Ruijie was not satisfied and said again.
"Thank you, that's great. Thank you for the new confidence you gave me."
Zhao Ruijie came back to her senses and was extremely grateful. It was not that she had never thought about getting rid of the birthmark, but she might still have some desire for her parents in her heart. Therefore, she would rather wear thick glasses than go
Hospital.
"Do you need to let your boyfriend come in?" the stylist asked after helping Zhao Ruijie get the look done.xdw8
"No, I still have some courage." Zhao Ruijie stood up, her hands still used to cover the corners of her eyes.
"Is it ready?" Ouyang Mingkai asked expectantly when the stylist came out.
"Yeah, but even if it's embarrassing, you have to endure it tonight." Zhao Ruijie still didn't let go of her hand, but said coquettishly to Ouyang Mingkai.
"Am I that kind of person? Let's go and see the dress."
As if he was worried that Zhao Ruijie would be embarrassed, Ouyang Mingkai did not ask to see it. He just looked at her long hair being tied up, and then looked at her snow-white face and bright eyes. He felt that even if the birthmark was there, it was nothing.
"Vice President, do you think this looks ugly?"
Zhao Ruijie walked up to Ouyang Mingkai and suddenly moved her hands away.
Ouyang Mingkai opened his mouth slightly and looked at the black tulip at the end of his eyebrows in shock.
He nodded first, then shook his head.
"Sure enough, I knew it." Seeing Ouyang Mingkai shaking his head, Zhao Ruijie's bright eyes suddenly dimmed.
"No, it's very beautiful. I just think tulips don't suit your temperament. Maybe you can replace them with a plum blossom."
A bright light flashed in Ouyang Mingkai's mind and he explained.
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that at the time?" The stylist patted his head after hearing this.
The stylist wanted to change Zhao Ruijie's face, but she refused. Firstly, it was a matter of time, and secondly, she didn't like others moving around on her face, so for the time being, she would just leave it like that, as long as it wasn't ugly.
Because of Zhao Ruijie's persistence, the dress she finally chose was very conservative, but Ouyang Mingkai did not object.
At the cocktail party, sure enough, Zhao Ruijie suddenly became the highlight. It’s not that there are people prettier than her, nor that she doesn’t have oriental faces. What’s unique is the tulip in the corner of her eye. Because of this, she became a popular person at the party.
The tallest girl.
Originally, Ouyang Mingkai said that Zhao Ruijie was protecting him, but in the end, he became Zhao Ruijie's bodyguard. Because there were always different men coming to strike up a conversation, Ouyang Mingkai felt very bad.
Fortunately, the Duke of Northumberland was there, and he saw Ouyang Mingkai's displeasure, so he asked them to go back and rest first.
"Now I think it's better for you to wear glasses, at least you won't attract bees and butterflies." After leaving the reception, Ouyang Mingkai took a long breath and joked.
"Vice President, what you said is too unkind. Who did I come here for? In the end, you blamed me. Is there any justice in this?"
Zhao Ruijie had put on her black-rimmed glasses again. Not far from the castle, they asked the driver to drop them off. It was not too late anyway, so the two planned to take a walk back to the castle.
"Xiaojie, look, I didn't call you Secretary Zhao outside. Can you please stop calling me Vice President? If people hear this, they will think you are my little secretary."
Ouyang Mingkai seemed to be unable to accept the title of vice president, so he protested to Zhao Ruijie with a bit of ridicule.
Zhao Ruijie deliberately pretended to be confused and said: "Then I'll call you CEO, but the CEO doesn't seem to be planning to give up the position yet."
"Zhao Ruijie, it will take a long time for you to beat me." Ouyang Mingkai said, pretending to beat Zhao Ruijie.
"Vice President, you need to change your habit of acting on disagreements. Fortunately for me, if it had been someone else, you'd be sorry."
Zhao Ruijie ignored the high heels on her feet. As soon as she took two steps, they were twisted and the heels were completely broken.
"Be careful, is anything wrong?" Ouyang Mingkai stepped forward and supported Zhao Ruijie, saving her from kissing the ground.
"It's okay, but my foot seems to be twisted." Zhao Ruijie moved her foot, but she gasped in pain.
"Let me help you sit down over there, and let's see where your foot is injured?" Ouyang Mingkai helped Zhao Ruijie sit down on a rest chair on the side of the road. He wanted to take off her shoes, but Zhao Ruijie refused.
.
"It's okay, I'll be fine if I take a rest, but Vice President, this is a work-related injury."
"Well, I'm still in the mood to joke, so it doesn't seem to matter."
Ouyang Mingkai was stunned, but still insisted on watching.
"It's really okay, but I can't wear these shoes anymore." Zhao Ruijie took off the shoes and held them in her hand. The heel of the shoe was broken. "It's such a pity that such expensive shoes only lasted an hour."
"Zhao Ruijie, I'm going to be angry. Which is more important, the shoes or your feet?"
"Of course it's shoes. These shoes are equivalent to several thousand yuan. Even if I twist my foot...ah, why did you do it again?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Mingkai deliberately patted her ankle, causing Zhao Ruijie to scream in pain.
"Since your feet aren't even worth a few thousand dollars, I think you might as well not give them up." Ouyang Mingkai said angrily.
The light was too dark and I couldn't see clearly whether my feet were injured, so I had to take out my mobile phone for lighting, but I couldn't see anything.
"That won't work. Although the feet are worthless, they are unique in the world. I think there will be nothing left after we leave." A gust of wind blew, and Zhao Ruijie felt a little cold. The UK in autumn is different from China, and besides, she was only wearing a dress.
There is no coat.
"It's not far anyway, I'll carry you."
Ouyang Mingkai looked at the shoe with a broken heel in Zhao Ruijie's hand, then looked at Alnwick Castle not far ahead, squatted down and said.
"No, no, I'll knock off both heels at most."
As Zhao Ruijie said that, she took action seriously and took care of both heels. Ouyang Mingkai was stunned for a moment.
"Is this okay?"
"Of course, and it's easier to walk. Come on, I can do it."
Zhao Ruijie stood up, but she still felt excruciating pain when her feet moved.
