Many people's faces revealed an awkward expression, forcing a smile and nodding.

Liu Hao, hearing his words, walked sulkily to Su Yuan's side and blinked his eyes. He lowered his head and immediately felt the strange gaze from the person beside him. His hand unconsciously climbed up Su Yuan's waist and tightly held onto his arm.

Being touched on his sensitive spot, Su Yuan almost couldn't help but lose his composure in front of everyone. He cleared his throat lightly as a substitute for the laughter about to burst out, then turned around and raised his hand to rub Liu Haoyan's head. "Lower your height... you're too tall."

Nervous and unsure of how to speak, Liu Haoyan still tugged at Su Yuan's sleeve and slowly crouched down, listening to his words. Because of this posture, the two of them maintained a vague distance, closer than a safe distance, yet farther than a deep gaze.

Su Yuan stared at the big eyes that were close by. His pupils were a mix of black and brown, clear enough for Su Yuan to feel like he could see his own reflection in them. Liu Hao Yan's skin was milky white, and today his hair was not tangled with sweat, it was wet and smooth. The light brown, finely-cut bangs did not look silly at all, but rather incredibly cute...

My love for beauty, oh!

Su Yuan shouted in his heart and raised the strand of hair that slid down from his forehead, tucking it behind his ear. He lowered his eyes and revealed a blissful smile. Those who loved beauty, upon seeing such a beauty, felt a warmth in the midst of the cold winter, akin to being bathed in the gentle morning sun, an unparalleled sense of contentment.

But as he lowered his gaze, he happened to miss the sudden change in Liu Haoyan.

The inexperienced boy suddenly froze for a moment, and then his fair and tender face turned red instantly. The peculiar gaze he had fixed on Su Yuan became even more exposed and vulnerable.

"Okay, I'll give you a demonstration of the makeup touch-up technique I just mentioned," Su Yuan secretly rejoiced in her heart, quickly snapping back into class mode. Her gaze swept across Liu Haoyan's face and she felt a slight change in his expression. But when she looked closely, she found that he had already returned to his usual state of blinking his big eyes and wearing a slightly disgruntled look."

With a snort, Su Yuan lightly dabbed her carefully applied foundation with a powder puff. She then lightly tapped Lui Haoyan's face, causing his small head to tilt and wobble slightly. Seeing a hint of surprise on the child's face, Su Yuan silently cursed under her breath, "You little brat..."

With the real-life demonstration, the entire class proceeded much more smoothly. Seeing that it was about time, Su Yuan let the children, who had come to class early in the morning, leave ahead of schedule, and he pulled Liu Haoyan back to the preparation room.

"Why are you doing this?" Once inside the room and closing the door, Liu Haoyan angrily opened his mouth. He plopped down on the chair in front of the dressing table and tilted his chin, pouting. "I really can't believe you, Uncle! They already had a problem with me being a boy, and now that you've openly declared yourself as my makeup artist, won't I be scrutinized even further?"

"Increasing exposure isn't very good? Just don't argue with people. "Su Yuan casually placed the makeup box on the table, leaning against the edge of the dressing table. He rubbed his tired right arm with his left hand. "I brought you back because I was afraid they would ask you all sorts of questions and you would get impatient with them."

"Don't worry about it so much..." Liu Haoyan muttered, raising his big eyes and sweeping them across Su Yuan's face. Coincidentally, he found that the other person was also looking at him. His face instantly turned red and he lowered his head. "That person you saw the other day was my ex-boyfriend. I quite liked him..."

"Break it off." Su Yuan interrupted him without hesitation, "There are quite a few homosexuals in this circle, but if rumors start spreading, it won't be good for your career."

After saying that, Su Yuan noticed Liu Haoyan's obviously stiff expression and added, "You also wouldn't want one of those fat, oily uncles to take advantage of you one day, right?"

"When I say I definitely won't be victim to any unspoken rules..." Liu Haoyan hesitated as he spoke, clearly lacking confidence, "But what about you? With such a good-looking face, isn't anyone interested in you? Like the higher-ups in the company and all."

"This is the question you can ask?" With a flick of her hand against his plump pink lips, Su Yuan lowered her eyes and shook her head lightly. Just as expected, this child's way of speaking was still so...frank, but lacking in thought.

"Ptui, ptui, ptui... " Liu Haoyan stuck his tongue out three times in a row, glared sideways at Su Yuan, and said, "If you refuse to answer, it means you do! Can't you tell, Uncle? You—uh!"

Su Yuan took hold of Liu Haoyan's cheeks this time, not allowing him to speak but ensuring it wasn't painful. Controlling this troublemaking mouth, Su Yuan grabbed a piece of paper from the table and wiped the self-drawn eyeliner on Liu Haoyan's eyes. "You, it's better for you to speak less in the future. What kind of low-quality eyeliner is this?"

Um... Liu Haoyan was speechless, only able to blink his eyes wildly, challenging Su Yuan's hand as it rubbed on his face.

Clenching her fist, Su Yuan wiped off the smeared makeup on his dirty face. She took a deep breath before releasing her grip. Ignoring the chaotic screams and gnashing of teeth from those around her, Su Yuan walked directly to the sofa on the other side and sat down. She took out her phone and casually flipped through the morning news.

"Bad uncle!"

"Hmm?"

"I said you're a bad uncle!"

"Sure." He didn't have the time to argue with a kid.
