Chapter 3 - The Third Realm (2/2)

“Good people deserve good eggs! Even God spared an egg for your nourishment.”

Meow sat cross-legged beside Mi Chen, turned on the TV, and constantly changed channels, but then stopped right on the replay of the music festival. With her arms folded, Meow expressed her appreciation and sighed, “I haven’t seen him for many years. The charm of Bai Yihan has been soaring! Those boiled-chicken-like pop-idols have a Pacific Ocean’s distance to catch up with him!”

Hearing the name of “Bai Yihan”, Mi Chen turned away. She was different from those little girls who simply appreciated beautiful men. The makeup of Bai was done by her and what she was worried about was whether she had any mistakes in every shadow and highlight.

Bai Yihan was perfect, being perfect but not like a motionless specimen. Each time he raised his eyebrows and each moment his lips lightly pursed, he looked profound and sophisticated. The moment when all the hot pursuing gaze hit the tip of his nose, his fragrance and elegance couldn’t be stopped but flow along.

“I’ve seen this video many times.” Meow didn’t even blink.

Mi Chen kicked Meow a couple of times under the table, “I didn’t recall that you chase stars as well!”

“This is nothing to do with chasing stars. I’m just simply appreciating Bai Yihan. Mr. Bai has reached another realm.” Meow pulled on a serious face like a senior entertainment commentator.

“What?” Mi Chen gave a good slurp of the noodles – it’s so chewy and smooth! Fab!

“Haven’t you heard of the three realms of Zen Mind? First, “seeing the mountains as the mountains”. Like those idol stars with queer black eyeliners, and those young girls who are fascinated by them and couldn’t stop themselves, but they are all superficial. ‘Form itself is Emptiness; Emptiness itself is Form’. Secondly, “to see the mountains not like mountains”. The representative figures like Meng Chuan and Shi Jing who had finally broken away from the merely halos of pop-idols and finally entered the school of skilled actors. In addition to their faces, they have something more in their heads. And the last one is the highest level of cultivation, that is “to see the mountains as mountains again”, which is a kind of return. For example, Bai Yihan and others like Li Mojun are beautiful men rarely seen in decades, but what you see in them is not only appearance and skill, but also experience. Whatever they do, it’s easy for the audience to get into the role. ”

“I couldn’t tell that you have such high reviews to Bai Yihan! And as for all those Zen three realms thing, where did you pick it up? From the gossip of your colleagues?”

“That entertainment magazine in the toilet.”

“Fetch it to me to have a look?” Mi Chen wanted to know what the entertainment industry commented on Bai Yihan.

Meow gave her a smirk, “Well, the toilet roll has run out…so I ripped the page…”

“Come on! You used Bai Yihan’s face to wipe…?”

“This should be the honor of Mr. Bai as well!” Meow said cockily.

“You bought toilet rolls yet?”

“I forgot. I’ll get them tomorrow.” Meow seemed not to trouble herself about it and yawned.

“What about me then? Am I gonna go to the toilet or not!”

“I spared half of the magazine to you! With Li Mojun’s face on it!”

Luckily Mi Chen had finished her noodles or she would lost her appetite for sure.

After she ate up her QQ noodles, it was already past ten o’clock. Both of them were dizzy and sleepy and no one was willingly to move.

“Meow, can you do the washes…I couldn’t move literally…”

“Then leave them for tomorrow…anyway we don’t have to cook another pack of noodles tonight.”

At the moment, the doorbell rang. Neither Meow nor Mi Chen wanted to get up. They kicked each other for rounds and finally Meow got up, wrapped herself in a coat and came to the door.

“Who is it?” Meow was thinking that could it be that the toilet leaked and it caused trouble to the downstairs.

“Is Miss Mi Chen here?”

Meow looked through the peep hole, only to see a woman wearing a high-end suit with a branded bag in her hand. Her hair was adjusted to the left like a big wave, and her lips are tinted orange. And behind this woman, followed by another woman with a bun hairdo who seemed like a secretary.

“Hey! Mi Chen! Get up! Someone is looking for you!”

“So late and who’s wanting me…” Mi Chen didn’t seem to move a bit.

Meow then picked her up and pushed her to the door, “See it by yourself!”

Mi Chen rubbed her eyes, looked from the peep hole, and saw a Saint Laurent limited-edition handbag in the woman’s hand, and the lipstick applied on her lips should be the Chanel collector’s edition.

Mi Chen suddenly woke up. Although she had returned home, she had been living in France with her mother for more than two years. What luxury brand would she not recognize?

“May I ask why you’re looking for Mi Chen?”

The woman outside smiled, “Are you Mi Chen? I’m Ann Yan, the Director of Public Relations Department of Starry Cosmo. I know that it was you who did that makeup for Bai Yihan in the music festival and we are very interested in you, so I come to see you specially. ”

She only said that she came here to have a look, but the real intention was not made clear.

Meow opened her eyes and looked at Mi Chen: “No way! When did you do makeup for Bai Yihan? Could it be that they are frauds…those standing outside?”
