Debt repayment in rebirth space

Chapter 5

The electricity was cut off all day yesterday, so the school decided to suspend classes today to appease the group of students who gathered temporarily in the sports field and marched around the school to demonstrate.

Xiao Yan woke up early, so she just got up and went to the dining hall to have breakfast, and brought Xie Binglan breakfast by the way.

Xie Binglan had just woken up when she returned to the dormitory with the breakfast, her feet were hanging by the bed as usual, her eyes half-closed in a daze.

Xiao Yan put breakfast on her table: "I brought you breakfast earlier, remember to eat later."

She was about to go back to her seat and sit down when Xie Binglan suddenly ran over and took her hand, staring at her with wide-open eyes.

Xiao Yan was inexplicable: "What's the matter? Can you still recognize the dark circles under my eyes?"

Xie Binglan said don't make trouble, and pulled her out of the balcony: "The light here is good, let me see you."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yan panicked: "What's wrong with me? Is there something growing on my face?"

Xie Binglan shook her head like a rattle, rubbed her eyes hard a few times, opened her eyes again, frowned, and said, "No dazzle...Xiao Yan, why do I feel that you have become...better-looking? ?”

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "What, with your expression, I thought I had a rash on my face, you haven't woken up, maybe the light has a soft light effect." After finishing speaking, she was ready to go into the room.

Xie Binglan still pulled her and refused to let her go: "No! Look at you, you used to be so dark and shiny, but your skin tone looks uneven, but today you... so dark evenly?!"

Xiao Yan burst out laughing with a "thud": "Yes! It turned out that turning a corner hurt me!"

Xie Binglan was in a hurry: "No, no! It's obvious that your skin has slipped a lot, it's evenly dark and looks a little whiter, you can see for yourself!" She pushed Xiao Yan to the sink.

From the mirror above the washbasin, Xiao Yan saw that her skin color became even, which was different from the shiny black one before. She was surprised to find that it felt like a healthy...wheat color?

The mirrors on the balcony were bought in the school's small supermarket when school started, and they were glued to the wall.Now there are dots of water stains on it, Xiao Yan turned on the faucet, took some water and wiped it on the mirror a few times, and took a closer look desperately.

Xie Binglan pulled Xiao Yan away dumbfounded: "It's useless to look in the mirror, you see it every day, you may not be able to see it, the authorities are fascinated."

"That's right, don't study me anymore, just brush your teeth and go eat breakfast." Xiao Yan simply poured some water from the bucket, wet the towel and wiped her face again, "Classes are still suspended today, what are you going to do later? Go to the study room or stay in the dormitory?"

Xie Binglan thought for a while: "Let's stay in the dormitory, how about you?"

"I want to find a counselor later, and ask her to help me pay attention to the tutoring." Xiao Yan put away her two clothes on the balcony, walked back to the house, folded them and put them in the closet .

She remembered that she was the tutor introduced to her by her freshman counselor before, and later relied on the money earned from being a tutor to pay off the debts left by the family like squeezing toothpaste, and helped the uncle's house, at least plugging the uncle's mother mouth.

"I'll go with you, I'm fine anyway." Xie Binglan brushed her teeth and said vaguely into the room.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Xiao Yan picked up a wooden comb on the table and tied her hair into a neat ponytail in front of the mirror to cheer herself up.

Xiao Yan, you can do it!God gave you a chance to do it all over again, there must be a reason for it!

After Xie Binglan took a shower, she sat on the table and began to pat water on her face.Similar to Xu Xiaoyao, Xie Binglan also has a lot of bottles and cans, but Xie Binglan has more of them, and they are not very concentrated. They are not arranged in rows like Xu Xiaoyao's, and the side with the printed brand is uniformly facing outward.

"Xiao Yan, take some sunscreen too." Xie Binglan greeted Xiao Yan while applying sunscreen on her legs.

Xiao Yan looked at what Xie Binglan was holding and couldn't help laughing: "The one you are holding looks like someone else's wall plaster."

Xie Binglan made a gesture of painting the wall cooperatively and said: "Hey, we women, we have to be better to ourselves. Before going out every day, we should brush the same moisturizing, essence, isolation, and sunscreen, otherwise it will be easy to age, you know, come on, Come on."

Xiao Yan didn't understand these things at all: "No need, anyway, I'm so dark, you put on so much, doesn't your face get sticky?" She usually just washes her face, those cosmetics, every bottle is better than every bottle Expensive, some bottles are enough for her living expenses for a month.

Xie Binglan had already taken care of the sun protection, and when she heard Xiao Yan's question, she was a little dumbfounded, and said, "There are refreshing ones." Seeing Xiao Yan's still blank expression, "Well... let's talk while walking later. , these things, there is something to talk about!"

Xiao Yan scratched her hair: "I'm sorry, I... I don't have much money to buy cosmetics, so don't laugh at me."

Xie Binglan laughed: "No, no." She looked at Xiao Yan, "You are actually quite good-looking, but the clothes cover it..." She rolled her eyes, put on a slipper and jumped to her closet Before, she found a white dress with daisy prints and pushed it in front of Xiao Yan, "Try wearing this!"

Xiao Yan waved her hands in fright: "No, no, this dress looks quite expensive, what if it gets dirty?"

Xie Binglan didn't care, and just put it in her hand: "This dress is too figure-conscious, and I won't be able to wear it if I get a little fatter. It's a waste to leave it on. You're so skinny, you can definitely wear it, just help me try it! Besides, it’s not for you, we’re just exchanging clothes for a while.”

Xiao Yan couldn't say no to Xie Binglan in the end, and went into the bathroom to change awkwardly. When she looked in the mirror, she felt that she was really energetic.She always felt sorry, and hurriedly opened her closet, trying to find a piece of clothing as an exchange, but she rummaged through it, and then looked at the outfit Xie Binglan was wearing, after all, she couldn't get her hands on those T-shirts that were quickly deformed after washing. shirt.

She whispered, "Thank you, that's very kind of you."

Xie Binglan smiled again: "You are too serious. I just put on sunscreen, and I have to wait half an hour before going out, otherwise the sunscreen will not work, and I wasted your time to find a counselor while you are here."

Xiao Yan quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no..." She tugged at the hem of her skirt again, and said, "Thank you."

Xie Binglan laughed loudly: "Okay, don't be so awkward, it makes me feel embarrassed." Xie Binglan looked at Xiao Yan standing there at a loss, and said, "From now on, be more generous. I will observe Xiao Yan last semester. I have been with you for a semester, you are too kind and polite, people like Xu Xiaoyao are easy to bully you, don't you know? Be tougher!"

Xiao Yan didn't know what to say, she felt warm in her heart, and said thank you again and again.

In the end, under Xie Binglan's insistence, Xiao Yan was forced to put on a pair of herringbone sandals with pale gold edging and white soles before going out.

The faculty dormitory is between the back door of the school and the sports field, a bit far from the old dormitory, and it takes 10 minutes to walk.

Xie Binglan finished fiddling with herself, washed her hands again, squeezed some sunscreen on the backs of her hands, rubbed the backs of her hands together for a while, and then went out with an umbrella.

Xiao Yan listened to Xie Binglan explaining to her the uses of various cosmetics, and how to choose cosmetics for various skin types, and walked out of the road in a short while.

"So I said, sun protection is essential, black is second, and ultraviolet light is the key... Besides, you look pretty good, but you are so dark that others can't see your facial features. Tell me, who will tell you?" Such self-defeating?" Xie Binglan said bitterly, wishing to pour all the sunscreen on her table on Xiao Yan.

Just after she finished speaking, a girl whose skin was almost as dark as Xiao Yan walked towards them, and Xiao Yan was delighted: "Look, don't others do the same?"

Xie Binglan widened her eyes, looked back, and said, "They are different."

Xiao Yan retorted: "What's different?"

Just as Xie Binglan was about to explain, the two girls just turned back and stood in front of Xiao Yan. One of them said, "Student, where did your skin get tanned?"

Xie Binglan raised her hand: "Look."

Xiao Yan felt that she didn't know how to answer this question, so she stammered: "At home, at home." It was drying at home when it was in the field.

Another girl said regretfully: "It turns out that you can sunbathe in the sun at home. It's great, it's so natural."

The two girls looked at Xiao Yan for a few more times before reluctantly leaving.

Xiao Yan asked Xie Binglan in a daze: "What drying lamp?"

Xie Binglan led her forward, and said, "There are some people who like their skin to be healthy and wheat-colored, so they deliberately go to tanning salons to bask in artificial indoor sun lamps."

Xiao Yan felt that the amount of information she had received from yesterday to today was too great to digest all at once. It was all because she was so focused on studying and paying off debts. People around her told her that reading a good book would lead to a future.As a result, she realized that she had to face too many things in the society, and she couldn't use textbooks alone.

At that time, she sometimes thought that she was the happiest when she was studying, and she really wanted to go back to studying, but she did not expect to come back to her.

When the two walked to the newsstand where they turned around, the stall owner was putting out magazines one by one.

Xie Binglan went over to pick out a few books and paid for them, stuffed one of them into Xiao Yan's hand, and said, "Let me borrow this one for you to read first, this magazine talks about a lot of knowledge about clothing matching, makeup and skin care, one book per month , it’s very interesting, you watch it first, and pay me back later.”

Xiao Yan clicked her tongue as she looked at the half-dictionary-thick magazine in her hand, and flipped through it casually. It was full of color pages with various contents, which made her dizzy.She quickly closed it and said, "I don't understand this, so I will hold it for you first."

Xie Binglan shook her head: "You can't do this. In modern society, women's dressing up is no longer just for men, but also for themselves. Women want to please themselves!"

Xiao Yan smiled wryly: "I don't even have the money to buy it." She still has to pay off her debts, tuition fees, meals, and living expenses to her uncle's family.

Xie Binglan said: "It's not that you are told to buy frequently, but you buy it for yourself once every six months. Is it okay? Don't ask for more, but for refinement, right?"

Xiao Yan couldn't say no to Xie Binglan at all, so she nodded helplessly.

The two talked and laughed all the way to the faculty dormitory, but the counselor was not there, so they had to go back to the dormitory.

As soon as Xie Binglan returned to the dormitory, she began to read the magazine with relish. Xiao Yan flipped through half of the book, but it was all uncovered, and she didn't read it carefully. Besides, she couldn't understand it even if she read it carefully.I can read those brands in English, but I don’t know what they mean.

She put the magazine aside, did a few sets of real questions, looked up at Xie Binglan, and found that she was still serious, slowly looking at the magazine in her hand page by page, the light leaking from the balcony hit her face, Xiao Yan I think she is really pretty and a nice person.

She was really glad that she got to know her, and she graduated later, and she was still so good. She didn't have much luck, but fortunately, she had a good friend.

Xie Binglan has been reading the magazine, and Xiao Yan is very curious about the way she is concentrating on it. Is the magazine really that good-looking?

She carefully flipped through the magazine that she had put aside just now, and when she turned to the page talking about single products, a piece of clothing caught Xiao Yan's attention. Like, but the pattern was a little thinner, and she leaned closer to stare at the pattern again.

Suddenly there was a slight light on the edge of the pattern, Xiao Yan was taken aback.She rubbed her eyes and looked closer. The pattern seemed to float upwards as if it was about to separate from the magazine, and then there was no movement.

When Xiao Yan stared at it again, it didn't respond at all.
