【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Chapter 239: Cleanse your skin, soothe your face, and let friendship flow like a spring.

Lin Pin'er was a little annoyed today. Li Shuirong had been very slow in replying to her messages recently, sometimes even until the next day.

Lin Pin'er lay on her little bed, waiting for her phone to ring in boredom. She seemed to be suffering from lovesickness, as if she was in love with her phone. When the phone responded to her, she was overjoyed. When the phone didn't ring, she felt as if she had been abandoned.

Until it got dark outside and the light in the room went out, Lin Pin'er sat up from the bed and threw her phone into the corner. However, the soft mattress could not vent her dissatisfaction. Instead, the naughty phone bounced on the bed several times and finally rolled into the corner behind the bed.

"As a mobile phone, you don't even ring. What use do I have for you?" Lin Pin'er said angrily. Suddenly, she smelled a hint of nuts and hurriedly put on her slippers and rushed to the living room.

It turned out that Yin Yue was making hazelnut jam. She first took the hazelnuts out of the shells and then put them in the oven to bake.

Lin Pin'er came out with a pouty face, looking unhappy. Yin Yue guessed that Shui Rong had made her angry again, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to take out a bowl of cheese ice cream from the refrigerator and handed it to her.

"This is delicious, try it."

When Lin Pin'er saw the icy snacks, her anger immediately subsided. She opened the lid and started eating with a small spoon.

Looking down, she saw a box on the ground. After careful identification, Lin Pin'er realized that it was a package sent by Su Miaoyu. She quickly put down the ice cream and squatted down to open the package.

When I opened it, it turned out to be a box of red wine handmade soap.

"Wow, it's so delicately made, like a pudding cake." Lin Pin'er took out a piece and held it in her palm to show Yin Yue.

"Isn't this just pudding?" Yin Yue asked back.

Lin Pin'er laughed so hard that her stomach hurt: "Then eat one and let me see."

Yin Yue really put her nose close to it and sniffed it carefully: "It smells like a very high-grade red wine. Are you sure it's not edible?"

"It's not edible. You Tauruses see everything as edible. This is handmade soap. It can be used to wash your face and take a bath to beautify your skin."

Yin Yue then nodded to show that she understood, and secretly admired in her heart that this dish looked so much like food.

Along with the handmade soap came a small card with a poem on it:

Skillful hands mix fragrance and make soap essence, a warm and gentle place conveys deep affection.

Cleansing your skin and making your face feel relaxed, friendship lasts like a spring.

Another line of small words was signed below: Do you remember what I said on the day the teahouse opened, if one day you get tired of him, I will still keep your position as my best friend.

When Lin Pin'er saw this line of small words, all her emotions surged up in an instant. She hurriedly got up and rushed into the bedroom, found her phone from the crack of the bed, and called Su Miaoyu.

"Sister, why are you calling at such a low point?" As soon as the line was connected, Su Miaoyu's impatient voice was heard.

"I'm sorry, I always forget about the jet lag. But Miaoyu, I miss you so much!" Lin Pin'er said this with a nasal tone, and it was obvious that she had just cried.

"Okay, I forgive you! Stop crying, let's not be Shui Rong anymore, let's just live a good life!"

Lin Pin'er was amused by her for a moment: "If you live with me, what about my brother Baoyu?"

Su Miaoyu chuckled: "I don't want him either... How can he be as important as you?"

"Forget it. My brother will hate me to death then." Lin Pin'er returned to her little girl's demeanor, as if she was not the one crying just now.

"No man is a good thing. Baoyu doesn't dare to do anything because I'm keeping a close eye on him. If I had gone abroad like you, he would have been hanging out with someone I don't know..."

Lin Pin'er immediately understood what he meant: "Miaoyu, is Shui Rong hanging out with someone?"

Su Miaoyu panicked, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, and tried to change the subject.

Lin Pin'er did not give her a chance: "Miaoyu, aren't you my best friend? Didn't you promise to help me look after Shui Rong? Since you promised me, why don't you dare tell me what you saw? Don't you hate him very much?" Lin Pin'er asked several questions in a row, leaving Su Miaoyu speechless.

After a long time, a voice came from the other end: "Yes, he has been very close to Xue Baochai recently. I heard that Xue Baochai is now his special assistant. The two work together every day and attend dinners together. I get angry when I talk about Xue Baochai. On the day when it was old lady Li's birthday, she imitated you by wearing a cheongsam and playing the guqin. I don't like her at all..."

Lin Pin'er could no longer listen to what was said afterwards. All she could think about was that sentence: We work together every day and attend dinners together.

Lin Pin'er suddenly felt a chill on her cheeks. Tears started to flow. She didn't dare to wipe them with her hands, for fear that her eyes would become swollen and Yin Yue would see and laugh at her.

No wonder he hasn’t replied to my messages recently, turns out there is someone with him?

Lin Pin'er didn't remember what the two talked about afterwards. She was completely dazed. After hanging up the phone, Yin Yue knocked on the door and pushed it open to call her.

"Will you help me get some food?"

"Okay, wait for me." Lin Pin'er quickly ran into the bathroom to wash her face, and then went out to help Yin Yue.

By now the hazelnuts had been roasted and cooled. Yin Yue placed the hazelnuts on a square silver plate and asked Lin Pin'er to help her rub off the skins.

Lin Pin'er was rubbing her hair while thinking about her worries. She wanted to go back to the capital, she wanted to go back to save her love. In her previous life, it was Xue Baochai who stole her lover, and in that life, she was weak and had no one to support her.

This life is different. Now everyone is equal. Girls also have the right to pursue happiness.

But how can I find an excuse to go back? If I say I want to go back directly, a bunch of people will come out to persuade me. Or I can just go back without telling them. But that would make me look very embarrassed.

Yin Yue came over to see how she was rubbing, and after seeing it, she exclaimed: "You're done, why don't you stop? Look, your hands are all red." After saying that, she rubbed her palms.

Lin Pin'er was in a daze at the moment, with hundreds of thoughts intertwined in her mind, like a huge net covering her whole body.

Yin Yue put the hazelnuts into the pot and then added sugar water and stir-fried them. After they were done, she crushed them in a food processor. In just a short while, the puffs were baked. Yin Yue was busy taking out the puffs and gave the hazelnut paste to Lin Pin'er, asking her to help squeeze it into the puffs.

Lin Pin'er knows how to do this. She has also learned to think about problems while doing things. Sure enough, she quickly sorted out the ideas.

First, she called Shui Rong to tell him that she wanted to go back to Beijing. If he agreed, everything would be easy. If he disagreed, Lin Pin'er decided to find a reason to go back, such as participating in domestic activities or competitions. In short, she had made up her mind at this moment. Her destiny in this life must be in her own hands.
