Chapter 88 Rejecting Appearance Anxiety
Colorful special effects floated above Shen Xi's head.
Shen Xi raised her cool, fox-like eyes, squinted at the comments, and read them out from time to time.
Is a head transplant surgery possible?
Shen Xi's sincere answer
"Makeup can make your face look different from different angles, but unfortunately, you can't change your head."
When Butler Li heard this strange question, the young mistress answered it so seriously that her gaze became even more amiable. What a wonderful young mistress!
As long as it doesn't turn into the same thing as before, that's fine.
[Daily question: Did my sister make a fortune today?]
Shen Xi rested her chin on her hand and thought about it seriously for a moment, then suddenly remembered the black gold card that Jiang Ci had given her.
Hmm... how can this not be considered getting rich?
"I've made about half the fortune."
Honey, honey, how are you feeling these days?
Shen Xi, with her sharp eyes, spotted the familiar ID and replied with a smile.
"I recognize this ID, but it's a little inconvenient to read in the live stream. I'm fine, there's nothing seriously wrong, don't worry, thank you for your concern, everyone!"
The live stream chat erupted in laughter, with rows upon rows of "hahahahahaha" messages.
[Hahaha, why is my wife afraid to read it? Is it because these words are too hot to pronounce?]
[Wife, fly high! If anything happens, the live stream will be shut down, hahaha.]
[My wife reads my ID, hurry up o＞_＜o]
[Waaaaah, I should have changed my username! I'm so sad, waaaaah!]
[If I read your username, my livestream will probably be banned immediately. I'll just have to prove myself and trend on social media.]
[Haha, picking up where the previous poster left off, the trending topic includes an anti-prostitution campaign, hahaha, it's hilarious just thinking about it~]
Shen Xi hadn't expected the discussion to go so far off-topic. She smiled, her eyes crinkling, her voice filled with laughter.
"I thought my screen name was artistic enough, but I didn't expect everyone else to be just as amazing."
Why doesn't she study?!
Ah, you asked her why she didn't read this cute girl's online name.
Please see the following text.
ID: Ms. Huang, who wants to grow two eggs.
When Shen Xi saw it, she had to pinch her legs hard twice to suppress her laughter, so as not to laugh in front of so many people in the live broadcast room.
Xiao Jiangdu looked at his mother with a worried expression off-camera and even reached out his little hand to stop her from 'self-harming'.
Hehe, I love it when my wife is seriously funny.
Please read the usernames after me.
Shen Xi blinked, leaned closer to the camera to see what the online name was, and after seeing it, firmly shook her head, refusing to be fooled.
Xiao Jiangdu sat obediently beside him, holding his phone and watching the comments. When he saw one of them, he covered his mouth with his little hand and laughed silently.
My mom says that if your online name is too long, some idiots will try to read it.
I'm impressed, I actually read it along with them.
Shen Xi chatted with her fans for a long time, then looked at the time, pointed the camera at the drawing board, took out a pencil, and earnestly explained to her fans the distribution of facial features and how to maximize the advantages of her own facial features.
After finishing her introduction, Shen Xi turned the camera to herself, looked directly into the lens, and said with utmost seriousness and solemnity,
"Friends in the live stream, makeup is an auxiliary means to make you more confident and happy; it serves us. But beautiful girls, never fall into appearance anxiety, and never get stuck in self-doubt. People have a thousand faces, and different people represent different kinds of beauty. Perhaps society has a new set of restrictions and definitions on beauty, but that doesn't mean you are not beautiful. Don't be confined to beauty itself, and never forget that you are always the most beautiful."
Shen Xi read many of her fans' comments. After all, she was somewhat similar to a makeup artist, which meant that 90% of her fans were probably female.
Among the many comments below, one that impressed Shen Xi was a very long passage in which the girl described how her anxiety and inferiority complex caused by her appearance became more and more intense as she got older. She couldn't even stand going out without makeup, feeling like she was running around naked.
She left a message for Shen Xi, wanting to know if she was really going to get plastic surgery, as she was on the verge of a breakdown.
Shen Xi left the same message.
The girl didn't reply to the message at first.
After some time, the girl said she had made up her mind and would not get plastic surgery. She wanted to face her new self with composure and sent Shen Xi a photo of herself without makeup.
Shen Xi was surprised and amazed after seeing it. This girl was beautiful even without makeup, so why did she have such high levels of appearance anxiety?
So much so that before starting her live stream, Shen Xi even read a lot of research on the psychology of appearance.
It is a microcosm of snippets of conversation on the internet.
The comments section was full of girls' stories of self-redemption.
[Ignore appearance anxiety; I'm already beautiful.]
I've been feeling anxious and upset about my appearance lately, but now I realize my face isn't as bad as I thought.
[That's just how society is. Men get compliments on their looks even without showing their faces, while women have to be stunningly beautiful to get even a single compliment. Society is unfair to women.]
[The person upstairs has already commented. I hope society can love me the way it loves men.]
Seeing the somewhat confrontational tone in the comments, Shen Xi intervened promptly, thanked her fans again for their concern, and ended the broadcast.
Xiao Jiangdu listened attentively to his mother's words. He looked at his own face through a mirror next to the live stream, examined it for a while, and then nodded in satisfaction.
The moment he saw his mother end her live stream, he leaned close to her with his chubby cheeks and earnestly said,
"Mom, you are beautiful. You are the most beautiful person in the world."
Shen Xi felt sweeter than if she had eaten candy. She bent down, cupped her son's face, and kissed him several times. She also replied to her child earnestly, "Our Xiaoman is also a very handsome person."
Outside the villa,
Jiang Ci slung a suit jacket over his arm and strode into the hall wearing a low-key yet luxurious black shirt with gold accents.
He casually draped his suit jacket over his shoulders, and Butler Li immediately took it.
His dark eyes watched the mother and son being affectionate. Xiaoman had long understood that this was his father's way of signaling that he was no longer interested in her. He consciously crawled out of his mother's arms and thoughtfully explained that he should go upstairs to practice calligraphy.
Jiang Ci nodded in satisfaction, watching his son go upstairs. He then turned his gaze to the woman who almost blended into the carpet.
Shen Xi was also wearing a white sweater at home, with her hair in a bun. She sat on the white carpet, looking as cute as a delicate and beautiful doll in a closet.
Jiang Ci casually propped himself up and sat down next to her, gently scanning Shen Xi's entire body. Only after he had confirmed something did he speak.
"I've heard about what happened at the mall today. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Shen Xi realized what was happening and shook her head.
"No, but I noticed today... that the female lead seems to be acting a little strange."
