Xiang Yi then added, "Then I call dibs on the Captain's share! If she doesn't eat it, I'll take it."

_{Lu Xiaobei then continued, "Then you should give Daobao a try. It's been on the market for over a decade, has had well over millions of human trials, and that's a lot more reliable than those printable quality inspection certificates."}Lu Xiaobei shook her head, then said, "If there's someone I like, and she's willing to be with me, that alone would make me happy."

_{My goddess even gave me a present today too. It was something I wouldn't never thought of as being a gift, but 99% of us have all laid eyes on it.}Xiaoya's eyes were now red, as red as a bunny's—a very fierce bunny.

My goddess even gave me a present today too. It was something I wouldn't never thought of as being a gift, but 99% of us have all laid eyes on it.

_{"I only know a little about this stuff. But skin care products are not some miracle cure-all, and they won't let anybody become some goddess-like divine beauty, let alone allow them to stay young forever.}
I'm back~ Huh? Why did someone leave a message saying "woof woof woof"? I don't get it. Anyway, let's talk about what happened today! You see, today, I went on a date with the goddess—alone. Heheh.

"I only know a little about this stuff. But skin care products are not some miracle cure-all, and they won't let anybody become some goddess-like divine beauty, let alone allow them to stay young forever. But they can prevent early ageing at the very least." After pausing, Lu Xiaobei continued, "Use it every day. Plus, giving your skin a layer of 'sebum' won't be a bad thing for you, or your future partner." Those finals words of Lu Xiaobei's, seeming to have referred to something.

_{Do you guys want to take a guess as to what it was? Here's a hint: my goddess bought it for me at the supermarket.}Mo Yichen's smiles had also grown in number, the power of a delicious meal's ability to heal the heart.

_{At the printers, Lu Xiaobei arranged the papers based on their subject, then placed them in the folder for Xiaoya.}"You won't. Open-shelf cosmetics can't be said to be all that good, but because those products go as far as possible to make sure many people can use them, those big brand name products can't match that." Lu Xiaobei continued, "Those brand name products are too oversaturated for you at your current stage. But after you wash your face, you still have to apply a face cream to lock in the moisture."

At the printers, Lu Xiaobei arranged the papers based on their subject, then placed them in the folder for Xiaoya.

_"No."Lu Xiaobei then further explained, saying: "Each user who uses their product is the equivalent to one human trial. Therefore the accumulation of all of these are far more reliable than those other cosmeceuticals."

"No."

_{"It's my gift to you." Lu Xiaobei replied simply.}
In my fantasies, my first date with the goddess happened in a cafe overlooking a gorgeous lake. There, she would order something like a Matcha latte, caramel macchiato, or some other kind of coffee I've never heard of in my life, while I would probably just order a mango frappuccino.

"It's my gift to you." Lu Xiaobei replied simply.

_{Regarding such a situation, there was no sign of anything of the like happening as yet, and Lu Xiaobei had just said those off-handedly, never expecting that one Xiaoya heard them, she would bare her fangs and say, "If they only like you fr your face, then such a shallow person can never be deserving of Captain! He'll never be able to make Captain happy either!"}Yu Xiaoya's reply:

_∽***∼Lu Xiaobei looked at the person before her who wanted to run before learning to walk, saying, "You don't need to worry about toners or essences for the time being. Just stick to applying the face cream every time you wash your face, and if you're going to be outdoors for a long time, don't forget to put on sunblock."

If you complete the papers properly every day, it'll make Miss Xu worry a bit less."

_{There was only one drawback, and it was Lu XIaobei's dislike for cooking meat-based dishes. The only things they appeared in was when a bit of shredded meat was mixed with zucchini and cabbage; or the ham sausage that was mixed into the snow peas. It simply left people in want for more.}
But in reality, my first time eating out with the goddess happened in a modest Malatang^[1] shop. There, she ordered bean sprouts, kelp, and beef rolls; while I ordered the cabbage, chicken wing tips, and a burger. The shop was clean, the boss lady there gave good sized portions, and there was all kinds of ingredients in the hot pot. Forget about being healthy, okay, because that soup was delicious!

_{Xiaoya: "Why?"}
Even though my stomach was being cultivated by my goddess for the past few days, if any of you were right in front of a beautiful woman, who was leisurely eating as if she was feasting on delicacies, would you not also feel like every piece of food in front of you was a delicious feast as well?

_{Xiaoya: "No." Her family may not have been rich-rich, but she could be regarded as being pampered. She just usually saved up her weekday allowance and didn't like spending money. So she really has never been one to be worried about money.}"Xiaoya, the chef in the small building cooked drumsticks today. Even though the Captain's cooking is miles ahead of that person, but she seems to only know how to make vegetarian food... I want meat! I'm going to go grab a couple, do you want some?" For the past few days, the captain, Xiaoya, Mo Yichen and Xiang Yi had become regular meal buddies, the four of them opening up a small table for every meal.

Lu Xiaobei then saw Xiaoya sulking after she paid the money, and so asked playfully, "Are you worried about the money?" It was because the papers needed to be printed on four sheets of A4 paper, and at fifty cents a pop, it added up two yuan each. So when all the materials printed amounted to two hundred sheets worth of A4 papers, even if the owner of the print shop gave her a discount, Xiaoya still had to pay eighty yuan.

Open-shelf cosmetics can't be said to be all that good, but because those products go as far as possible to make sure many people can use them, those big brand name products can't match that." Lu Xiaobei continued, "Those brand name products are too oversaturated for you at your current stage. But after you wash your face, you still have to apply a face cream to lock in the moisture."}
Xiaoya: "But... But... you're all eating it! This is unfair." Even Lu Xiaobei herself had taken a bite of the meat.

Lu Xiaobei continued, "Those brand name products are too oversaturated for you at your current stage. But after you wash your face, you still have to apply a face cream to lock in the moisture."

_{Xiaoya: "Why?"}Xiaoya reached out to the shelf again in silence, before again returning her hand. Her potato chips... Her toffee...QAQ

Xiaoya: "Why?"

_{Xiaoya: "Why?"}The dyke holding back the grievances in Xiaoya's heart was just about to break. So in a faint voice, she gave her all to plead her case and convince Lu Xiaobei, arguing, "It took me millions of years to evolve and stand at the top of the food chain, so I've earned the right to eat some meat."

Xiaoya: "Why?"

_{Second Update}Xiang Yi then added, "Then I call dibs on the Captain's share! If she doesn't eat it, I'll take it."

Second Update

_{Lu Xiaobei then further explained, saying: "Each user who uses their product is the equivalent to one human trial. Therefore the accumulation of all of these are far more reliable than those other cosmeceuticals."}
Lu Xiaobei's gaze swept towards the clear faces of Mo Yichen, then Xiang Yi, before fixing itself on Xiaoya.

Lu Xiaobei then further explained, saying: "Each user who uses their product is the equivalent to one human trial. Therefore the accumulation of all of these are far more reliable than those other cosmeceuticals."

_{When Lu Xiaobei saw the plate full of drumsticks, she didn't say a word. When she saw Mo Yichen and Xiang Yi start chowing down on the chicken les, she didn't saw a word. When she saw Xiaoya reach her chopsticks out towards a chicken leg, Lu Xiaobei finally said a word.}Lu Xiaobei then asked her simply, "Do you think that's fair?"

_{Hearing this, Xiaoya nodded.}

_{But in reality, my first time eating out with the goddess happened in a modest Malatang shop. There, she ordered bean sprouts, kelp, and beef rolls; while I ordered the cabbage, chicken wing tips, and a burger.}Xiang Yi then reached out her chopsticks to the bowl of meat with a tremble, gaining no reaction from the captain in the least. This made her realise one thing for certain, the captain's target was Xiaoya.

But in reality, my first time eating out with the goddess happened in a modest Malatang shop. There, she ordered bean sprouts, kelp, and beef rolls; while I ordered the cabbage, chicken wing tips, and a burger. The shop was clean, the boss lady there gave good sized portions, and there was all kinds of ingredients in the hot pot. Forget about being healthy, okay, because that soup was delicious!

_{Xiang Yi then reached out her chopsticks to the bowl of meat with a tremble, gaining no reaction from the captain in the least. This made her realise one thing for certain, the captain's target was Xiaoya.}
Hearing this, Lu Xiabei put down her chopsticks, then countered: "If you feel like if this is unfair, then I'll stop eating meat with you."

Xiang Yi then reached out her chopsticks to the bowl of meat with a tremble, gaining no reaction from the captain in the least. This made her realise one thing for certain, the captain's target was Xiaoya.

_{Lu Xiaobei looked at the person before her who wanted to run before learning to walk, saying, "You don't need to worry about toners or essences for the time being. Just stick to applying the face cream every time you wash your face, and if you're going to be outdoors for a long time, don't forget to put on sunblock."}"Millions of human trials?" Xiaoya didn't understand this part.

_{Xiaoya, Xiang Yi and Mo Yichen were embarrassed to ask for anything else, so they concocted the idea to just head to the smaller building for lunch. Anyhow, they did already paid for room and board, so not eating would be a waste.}"I only know a little about this stuff. But skin care products are not some miracle cure-all, and they won't let anybody become some goddess-like divine beauty, let alone allow them to stay young forever. But they can prevent early ageing at the very least." After pausing, Lu Xiaobei continued, "Use it every day. Plus, giving your skin a layer of 'sebum' won't be a bad thing for you, or your future partner." Those finals words of Lu Xiaobei's, seeming to have referred to something.

_{I'm back~ Huh? Why did someone leave a message saying "woof woof woof"? I don't get it. Anyway, let's talk about what happened today! You see, today, I went on a date with the goddess—alone. {Heheh.}}Lu Xiaobei: "I hope so."

I'm back~ Huh? Why did someone leave a message saying "woof woof woof"? I don't get it. Anyway, let's talk about what happened today! You see, today, I went on a date with the goddess—alone. Heheh.

_{Even though my stomach was being cultivated by my goddess for the past few days, if any of you were right in front of a beautiful woman, who was leisurely eating as if she was feasting on delicacies, would you not also feel like every piece of food in front of you was a delicious feast as well?}
Xiaoya's eyes were now red, as red as a bunny's—a very fierce bunny.

Even though my stomach was being cultivated by my goddess for the past few days, if any of you were right in front of a beautiful woman, who was leisurely eating as if she was feasting on delicacies, would you not also feel like every piece of food in front of you was a delicious feast as well?

_{Xiaoya: ???}"It's my gift to you." Lu Xiaobei replied simply.

Xiaoya: ???

_{Xiaoya had no idea why she had become blind with righteous indignation, and her face was so puffed up she resembled a steamed bun as she said, "As long as Captain gets along with them, and they know how awesome Captain is... no matter the reason was for him being together with Captain, he would end up liking the Captain for real!"}

_∽***∼
Xiaoya felt as though her heart was dripping blood. very word she spoke containing an infinite amount of emotion as she replied: "Sounds fair."

∽***∼

_{Lu Xiaobei then saw Xiaoya sulking after she paid the money, and so asked playfully, "Are you worried about the money?" It was because the papers needed to be printed on four sheets of A4 paper, and at fifty cents a pop, it added up two yuan each. So when all the materials printed amounted to two hundred sheets worth of A4 papers, even if the owner of the print shop gave her a discount, Xiaoya still had to pay eighty yuan.}Lu Xiaobei then further explained, saying: "Each user who uses their product is the equivalent to one human trial.

_{At the printers, Lu Xiaobei arranged the papers based on their subject, then placed them in the folder for Xiaoya.}Lu Xiaobei then continued, "Then you should give Daobao a try. It's been on the market for over a decade, has had well over millions of human trials, and that's a lot more reliable than those printable quality inspection certificates."

Author's Note:

{N/A}

Notes:

^1. Malatang is spicy soup, kinda like a hot pot.

^2. Dabao SOD Milk Honey is a common inexpensive brand of face cream/moisturiser/anti-ageing/etc. Dabao is the name of the brand.

Take a peek at the little white bottle of Xiaoya's dreams~

^3. “She/her”, “He/him”, and “it” all sound the same in Chinese (tā) but are written using different characters (她，他，它)。So Xiaoya can't tell Lu Xiaobei just admitted she's into girls, and Lu Xiaobei can't tell Xiaoya is talking about a boy.
