Chapter 42 - Chasing Stars (2/2)
She only felt that the areas touched by the actress’ fingers tingled and felt hot.
She didn’t notice when the actress let go of her chin. The next thing she knew, Su Jishi was holding up her thumb in front of her face, showing the red smudge of lipstick.
“You’re welcome.” Su Jishi smiled cordially, “My little friend, your lipstick has not been applied properly. I have wiped it clean for you.”

Li Juan almost sprinted, her steps erratic while she returned to her position in a trance. The little sister who changed her new dress saw her staring off at a distance.
She quickly pushed her and asked, “Why is your face so hot?” But the latter only shook her head and could not speak.
Just then, Li Juan’s cell phone in her pocket rang sharply, taking her out of her stupor. She took it out and found it was a call from a boyfriend who had not been in touch for a long time.
That bastard!
Li Juan had ignored him for more than a week for something that he confessed. He sent countless WeChat messages and made countless phone calls, but she never answered.
The little sister thought Li Juan would hang up again this time, but to her surprise, she pressed the answer key.
As soon as the line was connected, her boyfriend’s eager apology came from inside the receiver.
“It’s all my fault, my wife, I am deeply sorry! Your beauty is unique! I will never say that you look like Su Jin again!”
Almost abruptly, his tone changed from being apologetic to sounding festive.
“Whoops! whoops! whoops! Wife, it will be our anniversary in a few days. I have prepared a present for you. Please forgive me!”
Li Juan gave a slight chuckle and said softly. “Have you prepared a present for me? What a coincidence, I have also prepared something for you! ”
The boy was pleasantly surprised and asked, “What gift?”
Li Juan: “Shall I send you an ex-girlfriend?”
“??!”
“You’re a good boy, it’s just that …” Li Juan sighed and said, “—I just found out now that dating is a waste of time. I’d rather be chasing stars.”
