Chapter 34: The Winner (1)

When the cameraman caught Qin Xue's lips, he was shocked and quickly moved the camera out of the way and recorded Tang Weiwei instead.

From Zhang Cheng's reaction, Qin Xue realized how serious it was. She immediately covered her mouth with her hand to hide it from anyone's sights.

Being punished twice in a day was something she had never experienced before, and the recent string of set-backs made Qin Xue feel puzzled.

But of course, she knew since she began using this system that though the "Flourishing Beauty" system had many functions, it also came with various terrifying punishments. She had been very careful with the system since the beginning, but as Lin Yueqi easily fell into her traps, her smooth ride thus far nearly made forget that the punishments even existed.

So what is constantly causing Lin Yueqi's positive energy to soar?

It was only after she covered her mouth that Zhang Cheng came back to his senses and immediately adjusted his own emotions. At the same time, he also realized that he had acted a little inappropriately just now. He immediately took out a tissue and handed it to her, asking quietly, "Are you having an allergic reaction to something?"

With her mouth covered, the other parts of Qin Xue still looked beautiful.

If a normal-looking star was to replace her and her lips swelled with pus like that, then she would probably lose her fans and incur the hate of the audience. But for Qin Xue who had the perfect body and character, her admirers would still protect her when such problems arose, worrying over her health or if she had gotten allergic to something.

After all, the image of her beauty is so ingrained in their minds that it was a little difficult to crush her perfection in their minds so quickly. The one most affected by the pus and swelling of her mouth was Qin Xue, causing her to suffer a considerable amount of psychological shock.

The system wanted her to know that she had to take Lin Yueqi seriously. This was its warning to Qin Xue that if she continued underestimating her, then it wouldn't end with just the swelling next time. Her body may go out of shape or her face may be covered in acne. It could also be a variety of other nasty punishments.

Due to the sudden situation, Qin Xue stopped filming for the moment and her assistant came up to her, helping her over to the side so she could rest. The crew had also called a doctor to come check on her.

While waiting for the doctor, Qin Xue took out a mirror to check. Only then did she realize that her lip wasn't only swollen and jutting out, there were sacs of pus covering the surface just like herpes. Due to her accidentally rupturing one of them, the yellow sticky fluid flowed out and blended out the foundation around her lips.

She felt goosebumps rising on her scalp. Even though this seemed just like an accident caused by an illness to an outsider, and that she would only be ugly for a short moment, the pus-filled swelling of her mouth came as a great shock to her.

Her mind began to run amok when she thought back to Zhang Cheng's horrified expression.

Will Zhang Cheng and her fans become disgusted with her after seeing her swollen mouth? Would they call her an "ugly girl" behind her back?

Only

Would they...Negative thoughts like that kept running through her mind, and her constant negative imagination made her feel as if she had gone back to her school days were she was laughed at by everyone.

"Let me wipe it for you, Ah Xue." Her assistant, Tang Haoran took out a wet paper towel and helped her wipe the yellowish fluid. But the instant he reached over, images of her classmates laughing at her and committing school violence against her seemed to pop up in front of Qin Xue all of a sudden.

She couldn't control her emotions and suddenly raised her foot, throwing him out of the gazebo with a kick to the chest.

Tang Haoran rolled down the gazebo stairs and fell flat on his face. If it wasn't for the quick hands of the crew by the side helping Tang Haoran up, then he might've rolled down the slope and turned half-paralyzed.

Qin Xue moved the paper towel to her mouth and frowned. "Where's the doctor! When are they coming!"

The crew was shocked by her actions and quickly humbled themselves, answering, "The doctor will be here soon!"

Zhang Cheng, Tang Weiwei, and the others also happened to see the commotion while they were trying to solve the question, and they all frowned.

Holding her pen, Tang Weiwei secretly thought to herself, "Woah, isn't it just some swelling? Does she really need to be that angry? If she gets disfigured like Lin Yueqi, then wouldn't she just kill herself?"
