"What about you ladies?"
"Yes, we also prefer that Miss Jiang choose the second one."
Everyoneâs opinion was surprisingly unanimous. Jiang Qiuqiu had also chosen the second dress, but she had a mischievous streak and asked, "Did I not look good in the first one?"
"Do I have to pick the second one? Canât I choose the first?"
"Wellâ" The head stylist seemed troubled. "Miss Jiang, you looked very good in the first one, too. It completely highlights your best features, like your slim waist and long legs..."
She praised Jiang Qiuqiu from head to toe.
âThatâs right. The stylist probably hasnât seen my streams, so she wouldnât have considered that the first dress doesnât quite match my streaming style.â
"Then why the second one?"
"Uhm, ifâand this is just an ifâMiss Jiang insists on wearing the first one, weâd have to add two layers of chest padding." The stylist held up her hands and gestured. "That dress has a straight, off-the-shoulder neckline. While it looks elegant on a slender figure, itâs... Ahem... hard to fill out, so the upper body loses that sense of perfection."
Jiang Qiuqiu: "..."
Caught off guard, she coughed twice, nearly choking on her own saliva.
"Okay, I get it. Letâs just go with the second one then."
"Yes, yes, of course. The second one is perfect."
After choosing the dress, it was time for makeup. Strangely enough, even after so many years, makeup in the interstellar era didnât seem all that different from how it used to be.
First, the team gave Jiang Qiuqiu a meticulous skincare treatment.
As they worked, one of them exclaimed, "Miss Jiang, your skin is amazing! Itâs so supple and smooth, even without any injections."
"The best part is probably her complexion." In this era, it was easy to get fair or dark skin. All you had to do was pay for a course of skin-tone injections.
But getting that fair, rosy-cheeked glow couldnât be achieved with injections alone.
Surrounded by compliments, Jiang Qiuqiu smiled. "You all are very beautiful, too."
Meimei chimed in from the side, "Qiuqiu is only twenty. At that age, just standing there is enough to be bubbling with beauty."
By the time they finished trying on clothes and completed the skincare treatment, it was almost noon. They needed to take a break before applying makeup, so everyone suggested they eat lunch first and handle the remaining steps in the afternoon.
Jiang Qiuqiu and Meimei agreed. The stylists then brought out several cases of various flavored Nutrient Liquids from their vehicle.
"Miss Jiang, Miss Ming, these are the special Nutrient Liquids from our styling studio. We have all sorts of flavors. Which one would you like?"
"Theyâre provided for free by our studio!"
Uh... Jiang Qiuqiu and Meimei looked at the tubes of liquid and shook their heads in unison. "No, thank you. We donât drink Nutrient Liquid."
The stylist thought Qiuqiu was just being polite, so she continued to promote it, explaining, "Even though this Nutrient Liquid is free, itâs a high-grade product. The taste is actually pretty good!"
"Thereâs no need to be shy! Itâs complimentary for every client. You twoâ"
"Itâs not about being polite, itâs just... not necessary."
âWouldnât it be strange for a food streamer to be drinking Nutrient Liquid to sate her hunger right on her own doorstep?â
Jiang Qiuqiu glanced at Meimei. A moment later, the two of them got out of the hovercar. It wasnât long before they returned from the courtyard house carrying a thermal container.
The thermal container Jiang Qiuqiu had bought from Taotao.com was all black, looking unremarkable and even a bit ugly. The stylists glanced at it curiously. Then, Jiang Qiuqiu opened the containerâ
