I Am A Prodigy

300 Return to Youth

“This…Is this for real?!”

Everyone at the scene was stunned. If not for them witnessing it in person, they would never believe that to be true.

Right before their eyes, an auntie that was shopping for vegetables in the market just turned into a beautiful young lady because of makeup?

Furthermore, they could tell with just a look that this was different from those ladies in a brothel whose faces were caked with makeup. This looked natural rather than a thick layer of makeup!

“Our boss. Isn’t he too monstrous?”

The two girls working in the cosmetic store were in a daze. They covered their mouth fearing that they would let out a scream.

They had learned how to apply makeup, which gave them further understanding of the difficulties involved.

As the saying goes, a tad too much would look fat, a tad too little would look skinny. Makeup techniques were very particular on technical skills. It was not something that could be done with just an understanding of the concept. Putting it in actual practice is the most important part. Every step taken was crucial, not allowing for a single bit of mistake.

Although applying the lipstick seemed like a simple task, most people could not apply it evenly and would easily go out of line. Not only that would not look good, but it would also worsen the appearance.

To reach such a state with only makeup was just magical!

Little Mei was the closest, watching Aunt Zhao up close gave her a heavy impact. If Aunt Zhao were to tell her that she was only in her twenties, Little Mei would believe her!

The makeup was done well, and could be considered perfect, it was flawless!

Meanwhile, her stream exploded with activity.

[F*ck! Host, what are you doing? Why did you turn on beauty filters?]

[Host, is the makeup done? Can you please turn off the filter so we can see what a joke the boss is?]

[Beauty filter technology these days is scary. An auntie just turned into a young woman in an instant. From now on I’ll never believe the beauties I see on a livestream.]

[Host, where are you? Say something. Turn off the beauty filter!]

After some time, Little Mei finally recovered from her daze. She entered the stream, took a deep breath before explaining with a hint of awe in her voice, [This time, I swear that I’m not lying to you guys. I definitely did not turn on the beauty filter!]

[This boss turned an auntie into a young woman with makeup alone!]

To boost her credibility, Little Mei aimed the camera at herself. [I’m not lying. The moment I saw it, I was moved to tears. I really cried. It was too moving. Until now my scalp still feels numb!]

With that, she made a closeup shot at the corner of her eye, showing the trail of tears that flowed.

Then, she spun her camera around. [Look around. Everyone was petrified from shock, all with their mouths wide open.]

[F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! Is that really something a human can do??!]

[Host, you’re joking with me, right? You guys are all doing an act right? Don’t scare me, I’m a coward that can’t take it.]

[Guys, the host didn’t turn on the beauty filter. We’ve watched the entire process. You’d be able to tell if she turned on the beauty filter.]

[My mom asked me why I knelt in front of the computer. I told her I’m watching a fairy…]

…

In an instant, the comments burst forth, with everyone shocked into self-doubt.

[Guys, I want all of the cosmetic store’s information within three minutes. Please respond quickly!]

[I’m begging you for the address. I want to go!]

[Ahhh, such godly people do exist in this world. I can see my hope of returning to my youth!]

[Sob sob sob, I’m crying. Do you know that? I’m really crying! If you’ve not aged, you wouldn’t know how important youth is.]

For a woman, looks were more important than life. Especially for a woman like Aunt Zhao. They were once young but grew old. Their desire for youthful appearance was unmatched.

“B-b-boss, can you do my makeup? Name a price!” Right then, a woman within the crowd asked Ye Lingchen.

“Boss, can you do my makeup? Hundred thousand, two hundred thousand? I’m begging you.” Soon another woman joined in from the crowd. “My husband made some profits and would always flirt with young ladies. He won’t even look me straight in the eye. Please do my makeup for me, pretty please?”

“Boss, I was wrong. You’re the expert. If you’re willing to do my makeup, I’ll agree to anything.”

In an instant, countless people started to request from Ye Lingchen with a pleading look in their eyes.

They finally understood why Ye Lingchen was so confident. With such skills in makeup, no matter where he went, he would be idolized by countless people. At the same time, they understood that what Ye Lingchen said previously was true!

In this world, who was worthy of having him personally do their makeup?

Even trending celebrities, rich people, or even authority figures. When faced with Ye Lingchen, they would have to cordially invite him over. No matter the price, they would not feel that was too much!

The entire Y Cosmetics store suddenly turned unbelievably lively in an instant. However, unlike before, this time the noise from the crowd was of people begging for makeup.

“I’ve already stated that this store will pick a lucky customer every month. I will then provide a single makeup session for free!” Ye Lingchen announced calmly. “This is the only chance to have me do your makeup.”

Right then, a white-haired middle-aged man came over. He was looking around in the crowd.

He entered the cosmetic store. Upon seeing Zhang Yunxi, he immediately asked, “Miss Yunxi, have you seen Aunt Zhao? She went out to buy some vegetables earlier, but it’s already lunchtime and she’s still not home. I went to the market but the people there told me she had gone off some time ago. She likes to chit chat with you over here. Have you seen her?”

Zhang Yunxi opened her mouth, her eyes uncontrollably shot a look at Aunt Zhao beside her.

The middle-aged man followed her gaze and looked over. He was then stunned, as though struck by lightning.

He opened his mouth, but no words came forth. He could only stare dumbly at Aunt Zhao.

“You look familiar. I’ve seen you somewhere.”

Only

“Old Fang, you don’t recognize me? I’m Zhao Huifang!” Aunt Zhao smiled as she looked at the middle-aged man, tears rolling in her eyes.

“You…you’re Huifang?” muttered the middle-aged man in disbelief. “You’re really Huifang! You…how did you turn so young and beautiful?”

“It’s me. It really is me!” Zhao Huifang hugged the middle-aged man. “What do you think? How does it feel to be hugged by such a beautiful young lady?”

“Huifang, y-y-you became younger?” The middle-aged man was also in tears. “No wonder you seem so familiar. Take a look at this photo.”

With that, the middle-aged man took out his wallet and then found an old photo within with his trembling hands. That was Zhao Huifang’s photo back in her younger days!

The photos were not as detailed back then, but one could still tell that Zhao Huifang looked exactly the same as her younger self!

“Huifang, you’ve gone back to your twenties. Will you despise me from now on?” the middle-aged man stuttered as he laughed and cried along with Zhao Huifang.

Zhao Huifang laughed out loud, then wiped her tears. “You dumdum!”
