“My name is Song Mu, and I am 25 years old. I work as a makeup artist,”
“—really?” Xian Bo interrupted.
Song Mu hummed before continuing, “My crush is Ren Yi—” before he could say more, Xian Bo interrupted him once again.
“Hold on, wait, wait. Ren Yi? As in the famous fashion designer Ren Yi?” Xian Bo asked, leaning forward; their body language showed how engaged they started to get into the conversation.
Swallowing with a flustered face, Song Mu nodded. Xian Bo clicked their tongue in surprise, “Omg, you are serious. How the hell did you meet a fashion God dressed like—,” Xian Bo moved his hand up and down, “—that.”
Yao Wen sighed, grabbing Xian Bo’s hand, squeezing it. “Xian Bo, you are not allowed to speak until he finishes, okay.”
Rolling their eyes, Xian Bo leaned back into the couch, making a ‘proceed’ hand movement.
“I have been the model Ren Yu’s, Ren Yi’s twin sister, personal makeup artist for five years. I have been to their house and met Ren Yi more than I can count. But, I have been having trouble with catching his attention. Especially since he is a workaholic and barely leaves his office at times.” Song Mu continued.
“Ren Yu? She is a beauty. I have met her before, and we—” Yao Zhihao mentioned, only to quickly stop when he noticed the death glare Shao Yuhan gave him. His throat instantly went dry.
“It was nothing like—” Yao Zhihao tried to clear the air, but Shao Yuhan stopped him again as he moved off him, sitting alone.
“You are sleeping on the couch tonight.” Shao Yuhan told him, leaving zero chances for Yao Zhihao to redeem himself.
Xian Bo covered their mouth, trying to hide their laughter even though their shaking shoulders gave them away.
Ye Xun and Chang Min ignored them as they focused on Song Mu. “What do you like about Ren Yi? If we are going to help, I want to make sure it is for the right reasons.” Chang Min asked, wondering why he had initially not thought of it before.

Chang Min started to feel flustered once Song Mu began listing what he liked about Ren Yi. It was sickening (in a adorable way), cute, and a bit embarrassing. Forget a crush—Song Mu was in love with Ren Yi.
“I can see that you really like him.” Chang Min commented.
Shao Yuhan snorted, “Like him? Nah, he is in love with him.”
Turning utterly red, Song Mu covered his face, groaning. Maybe he should not have gotten lost in his listing. “Uh, can you help me?” Song Mu asked once more. His words came out muffled due to his hand covering his face.
Chang Min looked at the others, wondering if they wanted to help because he was ready to jump on board. Yao Wen was the first to give a response.
“I can help you. I do enjoy romance. Although, what I can teach you is how to have any person eating out the palm of your hand if you don’t mind learning that.”
Yao Zhihao was the next one.
“I don’t mind helping. I am more of a tech person. Tell me, do you only see Ren Yi at his house while you work? Because I can make you meet him in regular settings; coincidences can lead to dates.”
Shao Yuhan sighed, crossing his legs as he shrugged.
“If everyone jumps in, I guess I will too. Like I told you before, once you catch Ren Yi’s attention, I can teach you how to play hard to get. People love challenges; it makes them work harder.”
Xian Bo stretched, giving Song Mu a smile that spoke of hell.
“Oh honey, I will give you the best makeover of your life—people will fall to their knees when they see you. All I request is for you to do my makeup too. I have seen Ren Yu’s makeup looks many times before, and I will admit, they are amazing.”
Chang Min gave a bright smile of encouragement.
“I am ready to help. I hope I can give you some good advice.”
And lastly, everyone looked towards Ye Xun, waiting for his response. No one would admit it, but he is the leader, the one who gives the final word in decisions.
Ye Xun tapped his chin, looking at Song Mu, who finally pulled his hands from his face as everyone started agreeing to help. He felt happy, only for his anxiety to come back due to a silent Ye Xun.
His intense stare made Song Mu extremely nervous as he started gripping the couch, hiding his trembling fingers.
After a few more seconds of staring, Ye Xun closed his eyes, giving a simple nod.
“We can help you. Do know, you will be following our schedule, and I cannot guarantee a satisfactory result. But, if you want to do this, there is no backing out, understand?”
Song Mu quickly nodded his head, resembling a bobblehead. “I understand. Thank you so much! Anything is fine; as long as he notices me, I am satisfied.”
“Good.” Ye Xun set Cream on the ground before standing up, glancing at Chang Min. “I said I had a gift for Chang Min, so I am going to show him that gift.” He grabbed Chang Min’s hand, telling him that he wanted them to leave the room.
Understanding, Chang Min put Coffee down, standing up with Ye Xun as he looked towards Shao Yuhan, “Uh, Shao Yuhan, can you take over?”
“I am not your dog.” Shao Yuhan quickly responded.
“Shao Yuhan.” Ye Xun called with no argument.
“Fine.” Shao Yuhan retracted his response from before.
Ye Xun and Chang Min walked out as Chang Min started asking what the gift was. Yao Zhihao watched them go with a sigh, “Even if the rooms are soundproof, I am still going to wear headphones.”
Shao Yuhan looked towards Song Mu, “Do you live alone? And do you have any pets?”
Song Mu looked away from where he watched Chang Min and Ye Xun go as he raised his eyebrow at the question; it confused him. “Yes and no?” He answered, wondering why Shao Yuhan had asked him that.
Standing up, Shao Yuhan stretched as he pulled out his car keys, practically shaking them. “Then, let’s get you packed up. You are temporarily moving in with us.”
“Are you kidnapping the poor man?” Yao Zhihao laughed.
Growing still, Song Mu started screaming in his head. It is not clever to move into a stranger’s home, but who would turn down living in Ye Xun’s house. And he gets to be around his favorite author? Someone needs to call the medics because Song Mu may have hit his head and entered a dream coma.
Yao Wen glanced over at a frozen Song Mu, “I think you broke him.”
Rolling his eyes, Shao Yuhan walked over, pulling Song Mu off the couch as he walked to the garage. “Come on, Romeo.”
Yep, Song Mu died instead because there is no way this is real.
Xian Bo goes first; makeovers are fun.
Yess, this is very interesting! Still what is the gift???🤔
Guess 😏
Really curious about this gift 😂
Am I the only one thinking crotchless cat onesie, both for the makeover and Chang Min’s gift from Ye Xun?
