Chapter 1248: 157 Conceal the Secret

In an era where the only way to see your own image was through a bronze mirror and guessing was the only method to know your appearance, Lin Yuan’s mirror was truly an oddity. To keep it a secret from more people, Lin Yuan only allowed Xia Zheng and Lin Yi to follow her into the cellar to see the final product.

Lin Yi followed her in purely because Xia Zheng alone couldn’t flip over the heavy, three-foot-wide piece of Glaze. However, unexpectedly, Lin Yi, who always had a stiff face, was greatly startled by this.

Carefully, they lifted the mirror from the table and put it back on the table lined with thick quilts. The entire action was finished in just a few moments.

"Whew, why is it so heavy? My handsome arm is almost cramping... Uh!" Xia Zheng merely glanced at the smooth mirror on the table casually and his words got stuck in his throat and wouldn’t come out.

Just as Lin Yi, who was about to turn away after setting down the mirror, grew curious and looked back, his foot instantly froze, leaving him in a strange and comical pose.

Lin Yuan was very satisfied with their reactions. This was exactly the effect she wanted; otherwise, the mirror she had worked so hard to create would be too undervalued.

"How about it? Now you finally admit I wasn’t exaggerating, right?" Lin Yuan gloated as she leaned towards the mirror, and indeed, she saw her own lovely little face, bright eyes, and even the small pimple that had appeared on her forehead recently because of anxiety was clearly visible.

As she lowered her head and squeezed the ripe pimple with her fingers, she murmured, "Now you know why I was so anxious about these pieces of Glaze, right? Hey, hey, hey, mainly because my creation is just too precious. If it ends up in the hands of others, they would certainly take all my... Hey! What are you two doing! Don’t push me, ouch, I haven’t finished looking in the mirror yet!"

Massaging her arm and shoulder, which were a little sore from being squeezed by Lin Yi, Lin Yuan watched with a look of resentment as Xia Zheng and his servant struck poses in front of the mirror.

To say they were primping was already giving them too much credit. Anyone who didn’t know better would think these two had gone mad and turned into utter fools without a single brain cell left!

"Wow, is this handsome and stylish person really me? Look, look, I knew it! There is no one in the Capital city as handsome as me, Xia Zheng. Look at these eyebrows, one word: virile! Look at this nose, two words: handsome! And these lips, this chin..."

Listening to Xia Zheng’s vain and smug words, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but facepalm. He had finally revealed his true nature in front of the bright, mirror-like surface. Look at him, he couldn’t even count to five anymore. How on earth did he manage to run such a large Fuman Building?

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

As she was contemplating, she suddenly heard an ear-piercing, almost hysterical scream from Xia Zheng, which made Lin Yuan shiver all over. Just as she thought he must be in some kind of urgent trouble and was about to check on him, Lin Yuan was utterly floored by his next words and collapsed on the spot.

"My God, why does my nose have all this black stuff? What is this! What is it! Ew! It’s as disgusting as fly feces!"

Lin Yuan rubbed her sore bottom, stumbled to her feet from the ground, and said resignedly, "Sir, that’s a blackhead! You’ve had them for more than a day or two now, could it be that you didn’t know?"

"Blackhead?!" Xia Zheng jerked his head up, his index fingers still posed opposite each other on his nose, with suspicious black stuff clinging to the tips.

Nodding, Lin Yuan decided not to tangle with him over the cause of blackheads and how to get rid of them, since it wasn’t something that could be explained in a few words. Besides, Xia Zheng’s blackheads were not severe; if it wasn’t for his extreme curiosity causing him to stick his face onto the mirror, he wouldn’t have even noticed the few blackheads which were slightly bigger than the pores on his nose.

However, seeing the serious determination in Xia Zheng’s eyes, as if he was prepared to fight to the death to eradicate the blackheads, Lin Yuan acted decisively. She shooed Xia Zheng, who was already pressing his face against the mirror, and Lin Yi, who was nearly sprawled on the table, shaking his head, into a corner. Then she stood with her hands on her hips, righteously beginning to lecture them.

"I have a few words to say now... Hey hey, what are you looking at? Look at me! If you look at the mirror again, I’ll turn you into water and spread you on the Glaze! Cough cough, right, I don’t have much to say, just three points. First, now you finally believe me, don’t you? How about it, don’t I deserve some applause?"
