After Appearing on a Dating Show with a Top-Star Omega - Chapter 19
The shop owner brought over the thick silver strips she had prepared in advance and handed safety goggles to the two of them. “Put these on.”
“Thank you.” After taking them, Yu Qingshi lowered her head and put them on.
The goggles were fully transparent. The top frame was a straight line level with the brows, while the lower frame curved upward to reveal the bridge of the nose. The wraparound design was cool, chic, and avant-garde.
On Yu Qingshi’s face, they looked as if she were shooting some fashion blockbuster.
Yu Qingshi adjusted them in the mirror, then turned to fix Jiang Yuan’s goggles.
She pulled out the stray hairs behind Jiang Yuan’s ears, fluffed the top of her hair, then pressed the goggles between her brows.
Jiang Yuan’s sense of fashion was practically zero, so she simply lifted her head and let Yu Qingshi arrange her.
Recently, all of her outfits had been styled by Yu Qingshi.
Trendy, comfortable, extremely well-fitted.
They were even coordinated sets. Each of them wore one outfit, with matching couple colors and couple elements.
During the process of adjusting them, their gazes inevitably met.
Yu Qingshi held her cheeks, her eyes lowered and full of seriousness.
Her butterfly-wing-like lashes hung down, casting small shadows beneath her eyes.
They were so close that Jiang Yuan could silently count her lashes.
Her lips were rosy and tempting, and her breath brushed over Jiang Yuan’s face. Jiang Yuan’s lashes blinked faster. She was the first to look away, a trace of red quietly climbing to the tips of her ears.
Fortunately, the adjustment did not take long. Yu Qingshi drew back without noticing anything. “Done.”
Wearing the goggles, one of them had deep, striking features, while the other had a face like a painting. Both were beautiful in their own distinct ways.
[…As expected, the best fashion accessory is the face.]
[When they wear them, it’s a fashion blockbuster. When I wear them, I look like I just finished myopia correction surgery. [finger heart]]
The shop owner was someone who loved gossip. She teased, “I got a call late last night asking whether I had a dog paw mold. I was this close to getting off work.”
“Luckily, the tools hadn’t been put away yet, so I hurriedly made one.”
After learning about the task last night, Jiang Yuan had urgently searched for shops and contacted people everywhere.
Hearing this, she scratched her cheek in embarrassment.
Yu Qingshi glanced from the corner of her eye at the person sitting obediently beside her.
She finally knew what Jiang Yuan had been secretly doing last night.
When she asked, Jiang Yuan had stammered and said her roommate had called her about submitting homework.
In truth, she had no idea she did not even know how to lie.
Yu Qingshi found it amusing.
The making process began.
Following the shop owner’s instructions, Jiang Yuan punched holes into the silver strips.
There were two silver strips, and each of them would make one earring.
The silver strips already had the dog paw lines traced out by the shop owner. They held the tools and sawed along the lines.
“Tap, tap.”
The dog paw separated from the silver strip and fell onto the table, but the edges were still rough and burred.
Because she had lowered her head, her hair scattered down beside her face. Yu Qingshi felt uncomfortable and rubbed it back with her shoulder.
Unfortunately, the effect was minimal. The strands repeatedly fell down and blocked her vision, so Yu Qingshi could not help calling someone. “Yuanyuan, help me tie up my hair.”
She said it naturally, but Jiang Yuan’s heart jumped.
The livestream camera was aimed at them. Jiang Yuan raised her head to look, then replied, “Okay.”
She went to the side to wash and dry her hands, then came behind Yu Qingshi.
The person before her was slender and delicate. Her long black hair fell casually to her waist, shining with a soft, glossy luster beneath the shop lights.
Jiang Yuan used her hand as a comb to gather up the black hair. Her palm immediately felt the fineness and softness of the strands, like a murmuring stream flowing gently between her fingers, smooth and silky.
“Tie it into a ponytail?” Jiang Yuan asked.
“Mm.”
Jiang Yuan gathered the hair up, instantly exposing her fair, smooth neck. An oval suppressant patch was securely stuck there.
Her gaze froze. When she saw from the corner of her eye that the camera was about to lean closer to film, she immediately let the hair down.
Jiang Yuan changed her words. “How about a low ponytail?”
“Mm?” Yu Qingshi wanted to turn her head, but worried it would affect Jiang Yuan’s movements, so she did not move carelessly and simply answered, “Sure.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yuan fixed the position and pulled the hair tie off her wrist.
Afraid of hurting her by pulling too hard, she slowly drew out her long hair. Only after every strand had been pulled through and smoothed did she loop the hair tie around again.
After tying it, Jiang Yuan even picked up a mirror and held it in front of her. “How is it, Qingshi?”
Yu Qingshi turned her face according to the mirror and examined it.
Her hair had all been tied down, falling smoothly behind her, lazy and beautiful.
Yu Qingshi said with satisfaction, “It looks good.”
She raised her hand and pulled Jiang Yuan to sit down. “Yuanyuan, come quickly. I can’t polish this properly.”
The earring had already been trimmed into its general shape, and the form was beginning to appear, but the paw pads inside the little dog paw still needed to be carefully worked on.
Jiang Yuan took the sandpaper roll from Yu Qingshi’s hand. She folded it into a sharp corner and polished between the lines. The paw pads gradually became more prominent.
Thin wire needed for soldering had already been prepared on the table.
Jiang Yuan picked up the torch. After melting the thin wire into a rounded end, she attached the dog paw.
At this point, the earring looked a little gray. After polishing, it still needed to undergo whitening treatment.
The shop owner came over with the solution and tossed both earrings inside.
After working continuously for two hours, Yu Qingshi was exhausted. She tilted her head and naturally leaned against Jiang Yuan’s shoulder.
The instant they touched, Jiang Yuan’s shoulder immediately stiffened. Then she thoughtfully lowered it a little, making it more comfortable for Yu Qingshi to lean on.
Jiang Yuan lowered her lashes and asked gently, “Are you tired?”
“Mm.” Yu Qingshi’s muffled voice was soft. “My hands are sore.”
The steps for making silver jewelry were simple, but the process was tiring. During the whole thing, they were either sawing or polishing, which took a lot of strength.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan immediately took Yu Qingshi’s hand into her own arms to look.
Sure enough, her fair, slender fingertips had turned a little red from gripping too hard.
Jiang Yuan’s heart softened into a puddle. She covered Yu Qingshi’s fingertips and blew on them. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought you here.”
“What’s there to apologize for? If we didn’t make this, how would I have dog paw earrings?” Yu Qingshi leaned lazily against her, her fingers not moving at all as she let Jiang Yuan massage her hand.
[Yu Qingshi?? Was she acting spoiled just now???]
[Ahhhhh, why is my baby so soft, ahhhhhhh.]
[I’m stunned. I only remember my girl being like this when she first debuted in university.]
[Sugar level exceeded!!!]
After washing and drying the earrings, the shop owner brought them over. “Your earrings are done.”
Jiang Yuan took them and held her hand between the two of them to look.
After the handmade earrings underwent whitening treatment, their color had brightened, and they now shimmered with silver light.
The dog paw pads protruded. Although they were rough because they had been made by beginners, that could not withstand how much they liked them.
Yu Qingshi was pleasantly surprised. “So cute. Yuanyuan, put it on for me.”
As she spoke, she leaned the other ear over.
Because she was leaning against Jiang Yuan, with this movement, Yu Qingshi directly buried herself into the other person’s neck.
Her breath was scorching, and the unintentional brush of her hair made itchiness spread over Jiang Yuan’s neck.
It even seemed to connect all the way to her throat. Jiang Yuan coughed to cover it up.
She controlled herself and picked up the earring, putting it on Yu Qingshi’s left ear.
Then she picked up the mirror and held it in front of her.
[Jiang Yuan, stop pretending. I saw you swallow.]
[Ahahaha, I’m dying. The microscope viewers are here.]
[She must have held up mirrors for her sister too many times. That was way too smooth.]
[I dare say, if they weren’t facing the camera, these two would already be kissing.]
Yu Qingshi examined it carefully.
After the silver earring appeared in her hair, it added a touch of refinement to her makeup. The dog paw pad was round and cute, extremely eye-catching.
The rough traces of handcrafting instead made it feel like the paw print of a clumsy little dog.
Yu Qingshi suddenly said, “This doesn’t really count as a dog paw.”
She picked up Jiang Yuan’s hand. “This is the real puppy paw.”
Jiang Yuan’s heart jumped, and even her reaction slowed by half a beat.
During that dazed moment, Yu Qingshi brought Jiang Yuan’s hand to the earring and lightly pressed it there.
It was as if she had stamped it.
The earring had already taken shape, so naturally, it did not leave any mark. But Yu Qingshi smiled and said, “Now we’ve finally finished making it.”
Jiang Yuan, who had been holding back for so long, could no longer endure it. Redness instantly invaded and spread across her, turning her practically into a little tomato.
Only belatedly did she understand.
She finally understood that murmur in the car that night, and she also understood the deeper meaning behind Yu Qingshi’s “obedient puppy” on the drawing board.
So Qingshi had already, already…
