Seventeen Again: The Sweet Life with My Family

Chapter 31

With a smile, Wen Nian spoke earnestly, “I reckon my talent is just average, and I wouldn’t be able to make a living in this industry. I think you’re better suited for it. You’re not less attractive than me; it’s just that if your eyes were a bit bigger, your chin more defined, and your nose smaller, you’d be perfect.”

In Huang Yue’s heart, Wen Nian was a straightforward person who didn’t know how to beat around the bush. Hence, Huang Yue didn’t suspect anything when she heard this and was a little excited. “Do you really think so?”

Wen Nian nodded seriously. “That’s right. Haven’t you heard about the Chinese beauty standards? Most people prefer delicate features like big eyes and oval faces.”

Huang Yue had used this kind of trick on Wen Nian before in her past life. Wen Nian’s distinctive facial features made her stand out, and some directors had taken notice of her pure and innocent aura. To prevent Wen Nian from getting the audition opportunity that a renowned director had offered her, Huang Yue had resorted to various excuses and lies, including making Wen Nian believe that she needed plastic surgery to secure the role.

Wen Nian had undergone drastic plastic surgery to prepare for the audition, which had left her face looking unnatural and stiff. She was unable to make any facial expressions while acting.

Later on, she used her body to get the chance to play a supporting role. One could imagine how tragic the broadcasting effect was in the end. It even implicated the entire production team and caused them to be scolded. Wen Nian was even scolded until she became a trending topic for a few days.

Huang Yue had naturally big eyes, an oval-shaped face, and a round nose that gave her a gentle and approachable appearance. Her facial features were also the type that elders favored. However, if she followed Wen Nian’s advice and underwent plastic surgery, she would end up with an unrecognizable face made with plastic, similar to what had happened to Wen Nian in her previous life.

Nevertheless, Huang Yue was still oblivious to these facts, and she had great confidence in her natural beauty. Despite this, when she gazed at Wen Nian’s exquisite features, she couldn’t help feeling envious and resentful. The words Wen Nian had spoken earlier echoed in her mind, fueling her fantasies of becoming even more beautiful after plastic surgery. She was determined to crush Wen Nian.

The mixed martial arts club was at the very end. Wen Nian’s eyes lit up when she saw the promotional poster. This was definitely practical!

Most of the people who signed up for this club were boys. Among the ten members of the club, there were only two girls. Wen Nian’s appearance also made many members’ eyes light up. They rushed forward enthusiastically. “Students, are you signing up?”

“You guys are so beautiful. It’s especially necessary for you to learn a few moves to defend yourselves!”

“Absolutely! We usually have a teacher to guide us during class, and our club’s president has even won the mixed martial arts championship in a provincial high school. Once you join, you’ll definitely learn some practical moves.”

Huang Yue smiled softly and replied gently, “You guys are too excited. I’m actually here to accompany my classmates. I’ve already signed up.”

Huang Yue couldn’t help but feel disdain towards these muscular men. In her mind, only a refined gentleman like Wei Xiao was worthy of her admiration, not these brawny guys in front of her.

Wen Nian showed great interest in the martial arts club and asked the members about the learning content, schedule, and other details. The fighting skills she learned in prison were all self-taught, without any proper guidance or systematic training. So, this opportunity was too precious to be missed.

Huang Yue pretended to chat with the boys. They all appreciated Huang Yue’s gentle and obedient personality. Huang Yue herself enjoyed being praised. However, when she snapped out of her daze, she realized that Wen Nian had already signed up.

Huang Yue stared at Wen Nian and asked, “Did you sign up?”

Wen Nian replied happily, “I did.”

Huang Yue opened her mouth, but no words came out. She had followed Wen Nian all the way, hoping to dissuade her from signing up for any other clubs. However, she failed to achieve her goal. Huang Yue felt her breath caught in her chest.

Wen Nian didn’t care how ugly Huang Yue’s expression was at all. She only said calmly, “I’ll go back to the classroom first. Hurry up and go back to your club.” contemporary romance

With that, she left, leaving Huang Yue flustered and exasperated, but she still had to smile.

In the morning, Wen Nian had breakfast at home before heading to school. Once there, she stopped by the convenience store to buy some soda water and ran into Huang Yue.

Huang Yue glanced at the soda in Wen Nian’s hand. “Wen Nian, is this what you eat for breakfast?”

Wen Nian didn’t want to explain too much to people who had nothing to do with this, so she replied in an aloof manner, “Mhm.”
