I am not just a tycoon

"It's really a bit much."

The two besties clearly hadn't gained anything from each other, yet they started to guard against one another.

And after being exposed, they still had the nerve to claim it was for protecting their bestie.

Shen Yuan shook his head and sighed lightly, noticing Luo Bingying seemed to want her 10-minute shower to end.

"But even if it's just 10 minutes, you can't waste it."

Thinking this, Shen Yuan directly walked into the room of the two besties.

The door was ajar. Zhou Peiwei was sitting in front of the vanity, applying a facial mask, with a lot of bottles and jars in front of her.

It seemed like all girls were like this, carrying a bunch of skincare and makeup products whenever they went out.

Unlike Shen Yuan, the rugged type, who only brought an electric toothbrush when traveling, mainly because he didn't like the toothbrushes at hotels.

As for facial cleansers and skincare products, he'd never brought them; the ones at home were initially bought by Liew Menglu and later prepared by Ji Ya.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Peiwei had just peeled off her mask and was applying it to her face, looking at Shen Yuan warily.

"Just came to see if you needed any help."

Shen Yuan casually said as he sat down at her vanity.

"I'm just applying a facial mask, what help do you think I need?"

Zhou Peiwei said assertively, but she felt somewhat guilty about Shen Yuan coming to the room while Bingying was showering.

"I came to help see if it was crooked."

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"I don't believe that; you definitely have no good intentions."

Zhou Peiwei pouted. She had been tricked into going to his house last time, where he took advantage of her in every way possible.

"I can see if it's crooked myself in the mirror, no need for your help."

"I'm already here, don't be a stranger, let your 'brother' help you out."

Shen Yuan moved behind her and, looking into the mirror at her face covered with the mask, smoothed out the wrinkles at the edges.

"Don't say nonsense; you're not my brother."

Zhou Peiwei had wanted to stop him, but seeing Shen Yuan's earnest expression, as if he was truly adjusting the mask for her, she retracted her hand.

"Do you have any plans for tomorrow, where do you want to go?"

Shen Yuan gently smoothed the mask, squeezing out the excess air bubbles; he found it quite fun, especially since Zhou Peiwei's cheeks were soft and bouncy, feeling as tender as silken tofu when he pressed on them.

"You make the arrangements; I'm good with anything."

Zhou Peiwei thought for a moment: "Like the Bund, Oriental Pearl, Disneyland, Jing'an Temple, we should visit all of them."

"Visiting so many attractions in 2 days, what a special forces itinerary."

Shen Yuan couldn't help but tease.

"Anyway, you decide. From the ones I mentioned, picking 2-3 to visit is also fine."

Zhou Peiwei watched Shen Yuan in the mirror, feeling that when he was fixing her mask, he was exceptionally attentive, and his gaze was full of tenderness.

However, gradually, Zhou Peiwei realized that this tenderness seemed fake, because his fingers moved from her face down to her neck.

The cool touch of his fingertips against her skin made her reflexively cover her chest and raise a little pink fist: "Don't mess around!"

"The mask essence is all over my hands; it would be a waste to just wash it off, better to rub it on your neck."

Shen Yuan found an excuse, even peeking down her neckline, but Zhou Peiwei blocked it, so he couldn't see anything.

"I was just thinking you were different today, but your true nature shows up immediately."

Zhou Peiwei muttered, careful not to move too much, afraid the mask would fall off and dirty her pajamas.

"Not at all, I was just checking to see if you were wearing anything inside. After all, you are sleeping with Luo Bingying tonight; it's better to wear a bra, right?"

"Get lost, shameless!"

Zhou Peiwei said indignantly: "Take advantage and still try to sound so nice. And what's my business with Bingying to you?"

"Heh, don't take offense."

Shen Yuan wasn't angry, spreading the sticky essence on her neck evenly with his hands.

"There's more."

Zhou Peiwei handed Shen Yuan the mask packaging: "There's still some essence inside; since you're such a good person, help me apply it too."

After using a mask, there's usually some essence left in the packaging, and girls, to avoid waste, often apply it to other body parts.

Actually, Zhou Peiwei usually applied it to her chest, but with Shen Yuan there, she decided against it today.

"Okay."

Shen Yuan took it, then poured it directly onto her neck; Zhou Peiwei hurriedly stopped him: "That's not how you do it; you're supposed to pour it onto your hands first, and then use your hands to apply it."

"Oops, should've said earlier."

Shen Yuan said this, but he did it on purpose; many NPCs, including Nana, the class belle, Teacher Li, and others, had applied masks in front of him.

He knew full well you were supposed to pour it onto your hands first.

Because pouring it directly onto the neck meant the essence would slide down toward the cleavage, and what followed would naturally progress.

He had poured quite a bit, creating several streams of essence, which Zi Peiwi couldn't block completely, and it began to flow into her cleavage.

The sticky essence reached Xue'er, bringing a chilly sensation that tickled Zhou Peiwei uncomfortably, yet she couldn't spread it evenly with Shen Yuan there.

"That's enough Shen Yuan; your task is over, I can do the rest myself, please leave."

Zhou Peiwei was beginning to shoo him away.

"There's still a lot left; let me finish helping you."

Shen Yuan was reluctant to leave; it had only been a few minutes, and the main event hadn't even started.

"But I can do it myself."

Zhou Peiwei pursed her pink lips.

"It's okay, I'm already here."

Shen Yuan continued to apply the essence, feeling the delicate skin beneath his fingers, gently pushing Zhou Peiwei's hand away: "This part needs some too."
