Chapter 55 You're Going to Get Rich

Su Xintang is gone.

After seeing her off, Meng Bai made an appointment with Ning Meng, saying that he wanted to find a milk tea shop to talk about their future plans.

Around ten o'clock, Ning Meng drove over.

Seeing that only Meng Bai got into the car, she asked curiously, "Where's Sister Tang? Why didn't she come with you?"

"She went back to her hometown." Meng Bai fastened his seatbelt.

"Hometown?"

"Back to Taiwan."

"..." Ning Meng was speechless and complained, "Wait, does Sister Tang have so many identities? Where is she from?"

“From Taiwan.” Meng Bai changed the subject and laughed, “Oh right, she said she’ll send you lotus root paste as soon as she gets home, it should arrive in a few days.”

"Jade lotus root paste?" Ning Meng's interest was immediately piqued, and she asked curiously, "Do you think that stuff is really effective?"

"I don't know, you'll see if it works when you try it."

"Hey, did you secretly use it? Why do I feel like you've gotten so much fairer?" Ning Meng took the opportunity while waiting at a traffic light to suspiciously examine Meng Bai's face.

He has indeed become much fairer.

It's not even the kind of whiteness that comes from applying acid in cosmetic procedures.

It is a delicate, rosy white.

They say fair skin can cover up three flaws, and Meng Bai looks exactly the same as before, but he looks much more handsome than ever. It's really unbelievable.

Ning Meng became even more suspicious and asked, "Do you still have some jade lotus root paste in stock?"

"..." Meng Bai looked at her without saying a word.

"You definitely have it. Sister Tang must have brought it with her this time. If she hadn't brought it, why would she have brought up the lotus root paste? After bringing it up, she realized it was for you, so she immediately made an excuse to say she didn't have it."

Ning Meng felt she had guessed the truth.

Otherwise, who would bring up something they didn't even bring with them?

Sister Tang is clearly an honest person. It's normal that she couldn't keep things to herself when she saw how hard I had worked that day.

That must be it.

To be honest, Meng Bai really didn't expect Ning Meng to think that way. After returning, he was busy with various things and didn't even bother to check if his face had become more handsome.

All he knew was that he seemed to have grown taller, something Su Xintang had casually mentioned; otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed it himself.

However, now that the opportunity had come, Meng Bai seized the chance to say, "Edogawa Komoe, how come I've never seen you so smart before?"

"Give me."

"What are you giving me?"

"Will you give it or not?"

"No, really not." Meng Bai feigned indifference.

"You still want to lie to me? I'm going to your house right now." Ning Meng said, and actually turned the steering wheel to make a U-turn.

This feeling reminded Meng Bai of his college roommates. He had brought some local specialties from his hometown, but before he could even eat a bite, these animals had devoured them all.

Suppressing a laugh, he continued his act: "Really, I'm out. I've used it all up."

"Meng Bai, you beast! Are you even human? I'm so small and carry things that are heavier than me, running around for you, and you, you good-for-nothing, hide away and use the good stuff yourself?"

"That's an unregistered product. What if it ruins your face?"

"How come your face isn't damaged?" Ning Meng became even more interested and drove the car directly into the parking lot near Meng Bai's residence, looking like she wouldn't leave until she got what she wanted.

Meng Bai didn't actually want to use tricks on her.

The problem is, sometimes you need to use the right methods to get good results.

If it were simply given to Ning Meng, she might not even use it. The most likely scenario is that she would take it home and toss it in the bathroom, and then never think of it again.

So, Meng Bai deliberately tugged at Ning Meng's sleeve in the car for a while before taking her home.

As soon as she got home, Ning Meng looked around, trying to find any trace of the jade lotus root paste.

"Stop looking, it's in the bathroom." Meng Bai said, then walked to the bathroom and took out a porcelain jar about the size of a Go board box. There was still more than half a jar of lotus root paste left in the jar.

The missing half was what he had just eaten for breakfast.

Since he planned to sell it, he had to try it himself. After finishing it, he put the jar in the bathroom, partly to see if the medicinal properties of the lotus root paste would dissipate if left outside.

Secondly, I also plan to try out the effects of the lotus root face mask after taking a shower tonight.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional act has now covered up the lie.

He picked up the jar and handed it to Ning Meng, who was peering anxiously from the bathroom doorway.

Ning Meng took it and first smelled it. It had a faint medicinal fragrance, not strong, but quite pleasant. "How do I use it?"

"You can put it on your face, or eat it if you want."

"You can still eat it?" Ning Meng was taken aback.

"Its main ingredient is a rare wild lotus root, which is boiled with some other medicinal herbs. Of course it's edible," Meng Bai said, reaching behind his back to take a spoon from his storage space and scooping out a spoonful to eat.

To be honest, the taste was just average, bland, neither delicious nor bad.

Ning Meng looked at the spoon that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, then glanced at Meng Bai's position, and couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, are you eating in the bathroom?"

"That's nothing, you've never seen someone eat and poop at the same time."

You've seen him before?

"I've seen it. Just looking at her, you really can't tell that she has such a special skill. It's truly amazing."

"That's just nonsense." Ning Meng was amused.

She laughed as she reached out and pushed Meng Bai aside, squeezing herself in front of the bathroom mirror.

Next, she first washed her face with Meng Bai's facial cleanser, then took a washcloth to dry it, tied her hair up, and then began to apply the lotus root paste to her face.

After a series of actions, Meng Bai couldn't help but exclaim, "You're so professional! I just smear it on my face randomly."

When he said this, he was actually emphasizing the fact that he had indeed used the lotus root paste.

"What a waste of good stuff! Did Sister Tang say how long to apply it?" Ning Meng complained as she turned her head to the left and right in front of the mirror to check if it was applied evenly.

Believe it or not, Meng Bai had actually discussed this matter with Su Xintang.

Jade lotus root paste is essentially a medicine, which means that the application time must be sufficient. Applying it for 10 or 20 minutes is useless; you need to apply it for at least an hour to see significant effects.

So Meng Bai said, "Two to three hours."

"How long?" Ning Meng wondered if she had misheard.

"At least two hours."

"Why does it take so long? Face masks are usually left on for 20 minutes."

“You can’t treat this like a face mask. This is medicine, and it’s very expensive. Many of the herbs are old things left by Grandma Xintang from many years ago. They’re all gone now. You’re wasting your time by leaving it on for twenty minutes.”

"Really?" Ning Meng was skeptical.

"Won't you know if it's true or false in two hours?" Meng Bai didn't want to boast, but after all, she was his good friend, and the more casually she spoke, the more she believed him.

Ning Meng was indeed willing to wait. After leaving the bathroom, she unceremoniously lay down on Meng Bai's bed, scrolling through Douyin on her phone while chatting casually with Meng Bai about starting a new account.

Meng Bai remained seated, maintaining the appropriate distance between friends.

Sometimes, being too casual can easily lead to unintended consequences.

Young men and women can get carried away very quickly if they're not careful.

The two chatted for about two and a half hours. When Ning Meng's alarm went off, she let out a "whoosh" and excitedly went to the bathroom.

Meng Bai did not follow.

Instead, he sat outside and waited for her to come out.

But after waiting and waiting for more than ten minutes, all I could hear was her shouting and yelling inside, but she just wouldn't come out.

So Meng Bai got up and prepared to go over.

Just then, Ning Meng rushed out and said, "Meng Bai, it's over!"

Meng Bai was puzzled. Where was it over?
Ning Meng's skin condition has obviously improved a lot, doesn't that prove it's effective?

Just as I was about to ask, I saw Ning Meng pull down her collar a little and say, "Two colors, one for the face and one for the body."

"..." Meng Bai.

“…” Ning Meng.

"This is really..." Meng Bai didn't know what to say. He chuckled and said, "Why don't you put some on your body too?"

"I'll go back and ask my mom to apply it for me. Do you guys still have any of this?"

"I guess so," Meng Bai said, feigning uncertainty. "I don't know anything about Heart Candy."

"You should ask around. If you find any, you're going to be rich. Seriously, my mom's group of old friends are willing to pay any amount of money."

Meng Bai was naturally aware of this, but he still asked to confirm, "Aren't they afraid that this thing is a counterfeit or substandard product?"

“You really don’t understand those women. They’ll put anything on their faces at beauty salons,” Ning Meng said, backing away.

After retreating to the doorway, she said as she opened it, "You should ask quickly, I'll go back and try it, and see if my whole body turns white."

After saying that, she grabbed the porcelain jar and ran away as fast as she could, as if she was afraid that Meng Bai would snatch it back.
