NOVEL WEB Chapter 25: Accompany Princess Changle to Wash!
Li Lizhi is still very willing to embrace the toothbrushing method from over a millennium later. She understands that times are continually advancing, and the method, after more than a thousand years, shouldn’t be too inferior. Especially one that most people readily accept.
Xiao Ran rinsed his mouth and wiped off the foam, saying, “Your Highness, give it a try!”
“Alright, I’ll give it a shot!” Li Lizhi prepared to receive water.
“Using warm water is better. It’s chilly to use cold water in winter,” Xiao Ran advised.
Li Lizhi nodded, imitating Xiao Ran, and squeezed out toothpaste. Starting somewhat awkwardly, she began brushing. Observing Li Lizhi’s earnestness was amusing. When she discovered foam in her mouth, she joyfully resembled a child.
Seeing blood on her toothbrush, Li Lizhi looked at Xiao Ran, perplexed. “Your Highness, it’s a normal phenomenon. No need to worry,” reassured Xiao Ran.
Li Lizhi still seemed unsure. Xiao Ran continued, “Many people experience this. Bleeding gums are common. It’s abnormal if there’s no bleeding the first time.”
Li Lizhi, trusting Xiao Ran, nodded, saying, “I understand!”
After rinsing, Xiao Ran handed her a prepared towel. Li Lizhi felt that the habit of rinsing after brushing was much better.
Xiao Ran placed the toothpaste and toothbrush on the vanity, saying, “Your Highness, you’ll now wash here. These are your belongings, including towels and face cleanser.”
Comparing it to the sleeping chamber, Li Lizhi found this arrangement more convenient.
“All of these are mine?” Li Lizhi inquired, pointing.
“Absolutely!” Affirmed Xiao Ran.
Focused on brushing before, Li Lizhi suddenly noticed the mirror. Xiao Ran teased, “Your Highness, are you stunned by your own beauty?”
“No way! I… I’m not,” Li Lizhi protested, pointing at the mirror. “This is just… it’s incredible.”
The mirror is like a real eye, surpassing the effect of a copper mirror.
“If Your Highness likes it, I can give you a smaller one,” Xiao Ran suggested.
“Let’s discuss it later!” Li Lizhi wasn’t in a hurry. After all, Xiao Ran couldn’t escape from here.
These nice things could be obtained on her own. Xiao Ran picked up hand cream, squeezed it, took Li Lizhi’s hand, and began rubbing.
Li Lizhi blushed, but Xiao Ran didn’t notice. He explained, “This is hand cream. Applying it in winter hydrates the skin and is good for it.”
Surprisingly, Xiao Ran thought, her little hands are really nice!
Hearing this, Li Lizhi let go of the incident where Xiao Ran took advantage of her. The benefits Xiao Ran mentioned intrigued Li Lizhi. She didn’t expect such good products. Looking at her small hand, Li Lizhi noticed it looked whiter and had a faint fragrance.
Xiao Ran picked up another one, saying, “Apply this on your face. Protect your skin from the winter wind.”
Li Lizhi nodded, feeling that this sensation was really nice.
This meticulous care moved Li Lizhi.
“I understand!” She said.
“Do you want me to apply it for you?” Xiao Ran asked.
Li Lizhi quickly blushed, accusing, “You… do you want to take advantage of me?”
Xiao Ran hastily explained, “Your Highness, you’ve misunderstood. I just wanted to demonstrate for you.”
“You apply it yourself. I’ll learn by watching,” Li Lizhi insisted.
“A big man has rough skin and doesn’t need it!” Xiao Ran tried to convince Li Lizhi to let him apply the skincare product.
“I want you to apply it on yourself!” Li Lizhi said stubbornly.
Xiao Ran chuckled, thinking that this young lady wasn’t easily fooled.
Applying the cream on Li Lizhi is unlikely for now!
