"We want a whole package of services you have here." Murong Xue showed her Diamond Card and asked the attendant who welcomed them.
The attendant became politer when seeing the Diamond Card, "Please follow me, ladies."
They two followed forward. On the way, Huang Xiaofei could not help marveling at the surroundings. Every detail here amazed her. Many things she had imagined now materialized.
Then Murong Xue and Huang Xiaofei split up as there was only one bath in each room. Having not relaxed for a long time, Murong Xue decided to take her time and enjoy a massage.
Without Murong Xue being around, Huang Xiaofei felt more at ease as she could enjoy the time of being a princess with nobody reminding her of who she used to be. The masseuse's respectful attitude exactly satisfied her vanity and she even felt that she had become someone different from those serving others.
The whole package of high-end services consisted of whole-body skincare and maintenance and personal image design. A saying went that everyone who came out of Lizi Pavilion would become beautiful even if the ugly.
Therefore, even Murong Xue felt amazed when seeing Huang Xiaofei after the whole session. The hairstylist designed a lovely fluffy curly egg-roll haircut which made her look youthful and the simple Koran see-through bangs not only revealed a sweet exquisite face but also added a hint of vigor to her. Moreover, the way she wore her hair parted on the side was very personal and special. So Huang Xiaofei looked totally different now with the blush light makeup.
Huang Xiaofei gave a shy smile, "Xue, why are you looking at me like this? Isn't it good?" In fact, even she was amazed by what she saw just now and her eyes even got wet.
Murong Xue exclaimed, "So beautiful. I'm stunned. If the classmates see you now, they won't recognize you."
"Seriously? Thank you, Xue." Huang Xiaofei was grateful that Murong Xue could give her the chance to become a princess.
"We can't just go home like this. We should go somewhere and hang out. What do you think?" Murong Xue did not expect the change to be so significant, but she guessed that Huang Xiaofei should be more confident now.
Huang Xiaofei's eyes lit up at once. "Where are we going?" She was expecting more surprises from Murong Xue.
Murong Xue thought for a while and decided to call Liu Huali as she did not go out very often and he took them out once before. So she turned to ask Huang Xiaofei, "I'm not very familiar with the capital. How about asking Liu Huali to go out with us?" She had to consider Huang Xiaofei's opinion.
"Liu Huali? Isn't he the president of the student union?" Huang Xiaofei was surprised again. He had been the person she longed to see, but she used to feel that they were from different worlds. Today, something changed. She became more confident after becoming pretty.
"Yeah, that's him. Can I call him? We can ask him to bring one of his friends, so it won't be embarrassing." Murong Xue answered.
Huang Xiaofei's heart missed a beat when hearing there would be another boy. She had been too desperate about herself to make a move before, but she was a girl who also would think about things between boys and girls. So, she nodded shyly.
Murong Xue called Liu Huali at once after getting her permission.
"Hello, Xue?"
"This is me. Are you free now?" asked Murong Xue.
Liu Huali, who was in the office of the student union, sat upright immediately, "I'm free. What’s up?"
"Do you want to go out now? You know I don't know this city well. I'm with my friend, and you can bring one friend too in case it will be boring."
"Sure. Where are you now? Tell me, and I'll be right on the way." He had been trying to apologize to her about the photos as he failed to find out who had posted those. He just knew that it was someone from the student union.
After telling him the location, Murong Xue went to a cafe with Huang Xiaofei and drank coffee while waiting for him.
"By the way, where do you live, Xiaofei?" Murong Xue took a sip of the coffee and asked curiously.
Huang Xiaofei's smile froze for a second, and then she answered in a low voice, "My home is on the outskirts of the city." She lived with her family in a small village as they could not afford to buy a house in the city. Huang Xiaofei felt a little ashamed when talking about where she lived.
"By the way, I'm leaving for A province tomorrow. How about you? Go home?" Murong Xue thought everyone would take the rare chance to be with their families.
But Huang Xiaofei shook her head, "No, I need to work." She would be of no help if she came back home without money and seeing her family only made her feel worse. So it was better for her to work and send money home.
Murong Xue did not expect this answer, so she was surprised, "Work? Is it hard?"
"It doesn't matter whether it is hard or not as long as I can earn some money." Huang Xiaofei raised a smile of self-mockery.
Murong Xue kept silent for a moment because she had no idea what she should say to her now. She had never worked for money or lived in a normal family, so she knew nothing about this kind of life. "Anything I can help you with?" Murong Xue asked carefully. She could arrange a part-time job, which she thought was better for Huang Xiaofei since they were only inexperienced students at this stage.
Huang Xiaofei did not know why she felt embarrassed even though she knew Murong Xue was well-intentioned. She refused in a cold voice, "No need. My current job is not bad. I don't want to change."
Murong Xue was surprised at the change, but she still spoke with a smile, "Okay, as long as you like it. Speaking of which, you didn't apply to join the student union?" The reason why she asked this was that poor students in the student union could earn much by doing the paperwork.
"I don't have time. I'm not like you, and you can't imagine what my family is like. I have a full schedule every day in addition to classes and I'll be starving if I'm not hardworking enough. Do you find people like me very amusing?" Huang Xiaofei was complaining about why life was unfair and why Murong Xue could have everything. She would be very grateful if she could have a small part of what Murong Xue had now.
"I didn't mean that. If I said anything wrong, I apologize. But how will I find you amusing? Aren't we friends?" Upon hearing her words, Murong Xue felt hurt somehow.
Huang Xiaofei suddenly realized that she overreacted, "I'm sorry, I'm just..." She was a little jealous. She failed to finish her sentence because she could not say that she was jealous of someone who treated her so well. She despised herself for what she was thinking.
Seeing her panic, Murong Xue felt sorry and then comforted her smilingly, "I understand, so you don't need to explain anything. It’s my fault. If you don’t want to talk, I'll ask no more. But if you want to talk to someone, remember I'll be here for you."
Murong Xue's smile reminded Huang Xiaofei of angels, which made her guiltier. She could only lower her head to avoid that sparkling smile and responded with a simple nodding, "Okay."
Liu Huali and his friend Lan Feiming arrived after about half an hour.
Picking up her phone, Murong Xue answered the call and saw Liu Huali through the window, "Huali, I saw you. Wait there. We'll go out now."
"Huali!" Murong Xue greeted him with a smile.
"Xue, long time no see." Liu Huali smiled back at her.
"Oh, let me introduce you to each other. This is my friend Huang Xiaofei. We are in the same class." Murong Xue introduced them to each other.
"Ha-ha, Xiaofei, nice to meet you. This is my friend Lan Feiming. We're in the same grade, so he is also a sophomore."
"Hi, I'm Murong Xue." Murong Xue also made a friendly greeting.
Tall and thin, Lan Feiming was good-looking, mild, and gentle. Although Murong Xue, who had seen people like Huangfu Yi, would not find him appealing, Huang Xiaofei considered him a standard example of "handsome guys".
"I know you, the goddess of our university, such a celebrity. Even if I am a nobody, I should know you." Lan Feiming joked.
"Ha-ha, very funny. You've got the sense of humor." Murong Xue answered easily without any embarrassment. In other words, she had been used to this kind of situation.
Seeing Murong Xue's casual and nice posture in conversation, Huang Xiaofei clenched her fists and she could feel her hands were sweaty, "Nice to meet both of you. I'm Huang Xiaofei." She did not think that she would stammer in saying hello and now she wanted to bite her lips off. She felt quite ashamed. With embarrassment, her face became rosy red, which made her more charming instead.
"Such a pretty. Thanks to Huali, I hit the jackpot today." Lan Feiming did not stop teasing.
"Be serious, boy." Liu Huali tapped him lightly on the shoulder.
At the same time, Huang Xiaofei's heart was already racing fast and her face was redder because of what Lan Feiming just said to her. "You must be kidding." This was the first time that someone had praised her appearance, and she was noticed by others when standing next to Murong Xue. Madly excited inside, Huang Xiaofei liked this kind of magic and began to pray that the magic could last forever.
