Chapter 251: New cosmetics

Gao Chu still managed to buy makeup at the supermarket.

This supermarket really has everything for sale.

However, when Gao Chu grabbed the makeup, she did it with a heart full of trepidation.

Because Lin Murong was watching her closely.

Gao Chu’s purpose in picking out makeup was very clear, specifically choosing the cheap ones, those that were a must-buy.

Lin Murong did indeed feel a bit puzzled when he saw her choose them.

Grandma, what do you need makeup for?

But Lin Murong’s confusion only lasted a brief moment before he thought it was normal.

Grandma was so unique, and a big shot at that, what’s wrong with wanting to wear makeup?

Everyone is free to do as they wish.

He had to learn to respect that.

Lin Murong felt that he really was someone who understood respect.

Yet, when Gao Chu saw him, she felt a sense of fear.

She truly felt Lin Murong was like a clinging plaster; why was it that every time she came, he always followed?

Didn’t he have his own matters to attend to?

Why follow her?

After acquiring new makeup, Gao Chu couldn’t bear to throw away the old ones she had picked up; she continued to use them until they were no longer usable before she opened the newly bought ones.

With the new makeup in hand, Gao Chu’s elderly disguise became even more convincing.

It became more and more natural.

However, even though her makeup was convincingly done, perhaps because Lin Murong had pestered her for so long, she became increasingly impatient dealing with him, and her actions and demeanor were not as well-disguised as before.

Su Yinhe had already started to suspect.

She suspected that the Grandma might not actually be an old woman.

Although her hair was white, those movements…

They were certainly lively and vigorous.

She suspected that this Grandma could run faster than her.

Su Yinhe shared her suspicions with Lin Murong.

“It’s impossible, absolutely impossible. She’s clearly just an old woman. The reason she walks so fast… is because she’s a big shot!” Lin Murong didn’t believe it.

She’s just an old grandma.

How could she not be an old woman?

“So what if a big shot is physically fit and walks a bit faster? What’s wrong with moving briskly?”

Su Yinhe: “…Okay, okay. Whatever you say is right.”

Su Yinhe didn’t bring it up again.

Whether that person was really an old grandma or not wasn’t her main concern.

After all, she was just doing business, whether it was a real grandma or a fake one, it didn’t have much impact on her.

She just ran a supermarket, collecting Crystal Cores, that’s all.

The source of the Crystal Cores wasn’t important.

Though Su Yinhe stopped bringing it up, Lin Murong took note of the matter in his heart.

He began to observe meticulously.

And this observation turned out to be quite revealing, uncovering some discrepancies.

Firstly, the Grandma’s stride didn’t seem like one that an old woman would have.

Lin Murong could still make up excuses for her in his mind, claiming the Grandma was a big shot and of course different from an ordinary old woman.

Even though he hadn’t seen an ordinary old woman in a long time.

But for other things, Lin Murong couldn’t find an explanation.

For instance, Grandma’s hair seemed unnatural, not quite like real human hair.

And that parting… there was no parting at all!

He had a parting in his hair despite having so much of it, why didn’t the Grandma have any separation at all!

Upon closer inspection, even the hairline seemed really unnatural.

The face… also looked a bit odd.

In any case, the more Lin Murong looked, the more strange he found it.

He had now come to believe what Su Yinhe had said.

Gao Chu was unaware that she had become the object of suspicion.

She was still smug about having tricked so many resources.

So many resources, she hadn’t seen this many since the apocalypse.

Even though she had plenty already, Gao Chu continued to trade Crystal Cores for more resources.

No matter how much she had, it was never too much for her.

Then…

An unexpected discovery occurred.

Her wig got pulled off…

Pulled off…

Off…

Off…

It was Lin Murong who did it.

Lin Murong, simply tortured by suspicion and unable to sleep while following Grandma, got a bit too handsy and couldn’t resist reaching out.

Who would have thought that with just one pull, it really came off.

Lin Murong: “…”

Gao Chu: “…”

This…

Was truly…

Awkward.

The atmosphere froze awkwardly for a moment.

Gao Chu thought she had disguised herself well enough and had even considered how to quell their suspicions if they doubted her.

But she never imagined her wig would get pulled off directly.

“Sorry… do you want me to put it back on for you?” Lin Murong held Gao Chu’s wig and tentatively asked.

Gao Chu: “…”

Ahhhhh!

Discovered!

Discovered!

What to do, what to do?

What should she do?

Gao Chu’s brain was rapidly working.

Should she fight him or run away?

Many thoughts flashed through Gao Chu’s mind in an instant, but her face remained expressionless.

Since Lin Murong had no intention of starting a fight, Gao Chu naturally couldn’t make the first move.

Lin Murong returned the wig to her, and she accepted it quite naturally.

No one could tell she was roaring inside her mind.

Gao Chu took the hair, and with Lin Murong following her, it wouldn’t be appropriate to put it back on, so she just had to hold it.

Awkward, truly awkward.

But fortunately for Gao Chu, she had a thick skin.

She kept a straight face throughout.

On the contrary, it was Lin Murong who felt a bit uneasy.

When they went to settle the bill, aside from Gao Chu’s somewhat disordered step and slightly darker hair, she looked no different from usual.

Lin Murong stared dumbstruck at Gao Chu’s retreating figure, muttering to himself, “Galaxy, you were right. She really isn’t an old lady. She might be even younger than me.”

“I saw it.” She was right by the cash register, and when Gao Chu came out, she had seen everything.

Since she had already had her suspicions, Su Yinhe wasn’t particularly surprised.

As for Chi Yan, he hadn’t even paid much attention to that person, so he had no reaction to speak of.

The only one shocked was Lin Murong.

Lin Murong hugged himself, “She deceived my feelings, I’ve been helping her for so long. I thought I was showing respect for the elderly, turns out I was loving the young.” Lin Murong couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Maybe she never needed your help in the first place,” Su Yinhe said indifferently.

She had already seen the impatience on that “Grandma’s” face.

Especially when “Grandma” saw Lin Murong.

“No, it’s not possible, I don’t believe it,” Lin Murong clutched his head, disbelief written all over his face.

“Believe it or not.”

“Why are you so cold-hearted. Do you no longer love? Have you lost all affection?” Lin Murong made a gesture as if clutching his heart like Xizi.

Su Yinhe: “…”

“Could you please not watch all those strange things? And don’t just imitate whatever you see,” Su Yinhe regretted a bit, she shouldn’t have let Lin Murong watch with her.

Now he had learned all sorts of strange, eye-burning things.

Really, it was eye-burning.

Did Lin Murong have any idea in his heart at all?

“What strange things, what I watched was strange? Didn’t I watch it with you? I didn’t learn randomly; I call this being eager to learn.”

Lin Murong was very dissatisfied with her reasoning.
