Chapter 255


    Mr. Lockwood, you…”


    Xanthea’s cheeks burned with embarassment as she attempted to avert her gaze. At that moment,


    Orion slightly lifted his hand, and the camera zoomed in for a close–up on his fingertips–spotlessly


    clean, without a trace of makeup or lipstick.


    “No makeup indeed.”


    There was a leasing glint in Orion’s eyes as he looked at her, his fingers absently caressing the air as if


    savoring a memory.


    Xanthea caught a fleeting, yful look in his eyes and suddenly realized:


    He knew all along she wasn’t wearing makeup–he was just seizing the chance to flirt!


    In front of a live stream with millions watching, it was outrageously bold!


    Meanwhile, the chat exploded with reactions.


    [What?! Xanthea’s not wearing makeup? So, she’s this stunning naturally? Creator, how is that even


    fair?]


    [Blown away, how does she look better without makeup than others do with it? Is this the privilege of


    being a fairy?]


    [Beauty doesn’t need adomments. Xanthea’s gentle elegance and natural beauty make makeup


    unnecessary.]


    [Officially a fan! For that heavenly face, I’m never unfollowing!]


    [Am I the only one who noticed Mr. Lockwood called Xanthea’s name twice? Seems like he’s got a


    special thing for her, and I’m getting major ship vibes!]


    [Count me in! I’m shipping them too, especially that part where Mr. Lockwood touched her face! It was


    so In my mind, he’s doing way more than just touching her face. Aaaah!]


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    swoon–worthy and sensual.


    Soon, Isabe, Olivia, and Rachel had removed their makeup, and the group of four was back together.


    The high–definition camera slowly panned over them, highlighting the stark contrast.


    The three, without their makeup, not only looked less stunning but also appeared tired from their


    frequent on–screen makeup routines. It was difficult to associate their current appearance with the


    vibrant beauty they usually presented on screen


    In stark contrast, Xanthea stood beside them,pletely makeup–free yet stunning–lips naturally rosy,


    brows perfectly shaped, bright eyes and white teeth stood out against her wless, snow white skin


    and dark hair. While she stood out among them before, now she looked like an ethereal being.


    Rachel looked down, feeling somewhat inferior and quietly moved away from her, while Olivia couldn’t


    hide the jealousy that red in her eyes.


    She, a pampered heiress, naturally had better skin than the busy celebrities. Did shee on the


    show just to highlight their in looks?


    Isabe didn’t even nce at Xanthea, her head bowed, hands clenched as if she feared being seen.


    Then, amotion arose


    “Oh no- My hair, my y cool! And my fans, they’re all going to desert me!”


    “Nobody said anything about shaving heads before I came here. This is an injury at work, you owe me


    o


    The walling of Nelson carried from afar, drawing everyone’s attention to a freshly buzzed head


    appearing on the screen, elicitingughter onsite and online–even the instructors couldn’t help but


    chuckle.


    “Haha!


    The shaved Nelson looked drastically different from his former self; he waspletely unrecognizable.


    With a dejected face, Nelson approached. He found some sce in seeing the makeup–free and


    equally distressed–looking female stars. But upon seeing Xanthea, his eyes widened in shock.


    “Xan, howe you look exactly the same, and still look so gorgeous?! It’s not even fair! I get a haircut


    and look like a total disaster!”
