[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

The next morning, you were woken up early by a blizzard and exchanged Christmas presents.

What you gave her was...

And what she gave you was a brightly colored lipstick, with the note: Congratulations to our yn, who has finally embarked on the path of a sexy woman.

You raise your hand to cover your face: "Blizzard, as expected of you, even your comments are so unique."

Blizzard raised an eyebrow: "You finally have partners, two of them, shouldn't you celebrate?"

You nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right!"

Blizzard insisted: "When you're doing your makeup later, wear this lipstick. I bet it will seduce that guy Zimo to death."

You nodded: "Putting everything else aside, this color suits my cheongsam very well."

When you transmigrated, you had a travel backpack with you, and among the clothes inside was a cheongsam that you planned to use for taking photos.

However, although the cheongsam has long sleeves, it is a fitted style for spring and autumn, and it is definitely not suitable to wear it alone in this cold mountain area.

However, none of the coats you and your roommates currently have match the cheongsam, and you haven't had any extra time to go out and buy new clothes in the past few days.

So, you plan to wear a down jacket first, and then take it off when you go on stage to sing.

It's only a few minutes anyway, and you can handle it with your current physical condition.

When you come back from your trip, you'll have a bunch of different gift boxes in your hands.

You placed them one by one on the bed, first opening the ones given by Rowe and Soap, checking them, and then putting them away in the cardboard box used for collecting.

Next, you opened the gift box that Wang Zhiqiang had given you.

A pair of red leather high heels, in your shoe size.

A few days ago, when we first started practicing singing, you were talking about what to wear, and you mentioned that you had a red cheongsam, but you didn't have any suitable shoes to match it.

Before you traveled through time, you had a limited backpack, so you planned to buy another pair if needed once you reached your destination. Unfortunately, an accident happened along the way.

After you finished speaking, Blizzard said you could wear hers, since you had worn them once during the last mission. With your shoes sorted out, you didn't think about it anymore.

You just didn't expect that he would remember what you had forgotten.

On the message card were his strong and powerful words: Baby, other people's shoes may not fit, you should get a pair that fits you.

You smiled slightly, carefully put away his message card, then took out the shoes and tried them on; they fit perfectly.

With a joyful heart, you opened the next gift box, from Nicole.

It is a pearl necklace with lustrous white color, simple yet exuding an elegant temperament.

Message card caption: Angel, a pure white and elegant pearl, is the perfect match for you.

Below that is a line of smaller text written in Russian, three short sentences in different handwriting.

You used software to translate and got the answer.

[I love you, and so do I; it's us.]

Imagine Nicholas To write the message with an indifferent expression, and then hand it over to other personalities to continue writing, and suddenly you burst out laughing.

The next gift box was from Koenig. Thinking of the hesitant look in his eyes when you exchanged gifts, your smile faded and finally turned into a helpless smile.

He probably thinks you hate him. Hopefully, after receiving your gift and message, he can be more accepting of it.

His gift was a pair of red gemstone earrings. The lower gemstone was shaped like a teardrop, while the upper stud was shaped like a golden jasmine flower. The unusual combination clearly indicated that it was custom-made.

Message card note: yn, please believe me I would never hurt you.

Well... he seems to really care about what Kruger said yesterday.

Next... was the ghost's gift, a black box framed with dark blue ribbons, exuding a mysterious aura.

You open the gift box, and inside is a brooch.

It was indeed a chain, divided into two parts, head and tail, connected by a chain in the middle. One end was a robin with outstretched wings, and the other end was a round brown gemstone, its deep color like the eyes of a ghost.

Message card note: My little bird, may I spend the rest of my life by your side?

The ghost calls you a little bird, but little does he know that in his heart you are a robin, a robin that represents courage, perseverance, and unwavering loyalty in love, and who is monogamous for life.

A sudden, dull pain welled up in your heart.

He had such high expectations of you, but you can no longer meet them...

ch.231: Let me warm your hands

You close the black gift box, preparing to return the gift to the ghost at some point.

The last one...

It's a gift from Keegan.

Early in the morning, you received a message from him telling you to pick up the Christmas presents he left behind.

So you did as he said, went to his room, opened the drawer you had opened before, saw the familiar jewelry box, and took it back.

When it was opened again, the men's ring and the photo were gone; only a women's ring stood quietly inside.

The eye-shaped ring seemed to be saying silently: I am watching you, I am right beside you.

You sigh softly. He gave it to you in this way, making it impossible for you to refuse, and you can no longer refuse at this moment.

But you can't wear it directly on your wrist, so you string it into your dog tag necklace.

Then, he took a picture and sent it to Keegan, to let him know that he was keeping it safe.

Keegan quickly responded.

Keegan: [Image]

Keegan: Kid, we're the same, we've linked it to 'life'.

When you click on the picture, what you see is Keegan's neck and the dog tag necklace he's hooking with his thumb. Next to the arched rectangular steel plate engraved with Keegan P. Russ's name and information is a men's ring just like yours.

You hadn't thought of that aspect he was referring to; you just felt that something so meaningful needed to be better preserved.

But after he said that, you gained a deeper understanding of the meaning of this action.

You reply to him immediately:

However, I have no return gift to give you.

He's so far away, who knows when your gift will even arrive.

He left so suddenly, and you didn't even prepare a Christmas present for him.

Keegan: Then take a picture of yourself and send it to me.

Since he said that, you didn't refuse. You took several photos from different angles, and then sent him the one you were most satisfied with.

Then, I received his feedback.

Keegan: Your smile is the most beautiful language I've ever heard. It speaks volumes without a sound.

You touched your arm and sighed sincerely, sometimes Keegan's artistic way of expressing himself was quite cheesy.

As the afternoon approached, you finally began to make preparations for the performance.

In the dressing room, you are wearing a long-sleeved red cheongsam that has been stored away for a long time.

The fitted cheongsam perfectly accentuates your figure, and below the red frog buttons at the collar and shoulders are scattered jasmine flowers embroidered with gold thread.

A reddish-orange color won't make you look older; instead, it exudes a luxurious feel, makes your skin appear fairer, and gives you a softer, more gentle look.

You changed into those red high heels, wore a pearl necklace and ruby ​​earrings, and had a gold bracelet around your wrist.

Several different materials and styles of accessories, surprisingly, don't look out of place or awkward when you wear them together.

You followed an online tutorial, styled your hair in a simple Chinese style, and finally put on your wooden hairpin.

Next comes makeup...

Since the Blizzard team doesn't do Chinese-style makeup, you'll have to do it yourself, following the tutorial step by step to apply and draw...

"Hiss... It's so cold."

To make things easier, you didn't wear gloves while applying makeup, and the room you temporarily used for preparation had no heating. The sub-zero temperatures made your hands inevitably feel cold and stiff.

Hearing your whisper, Wang Zhiqiang, who was sitting next to you, immediately took your cold hand and then slipped it under his shirt.

Although he was only wearing a dark red hoodie and a black vest today, he was wearing a warm base layer underneath.

"Let me warm your hands."

He said it generously.

You squinted slightly, feeling the warmth inside your clothes and the touch of your palm.

Then, you gently pressed his abdomen with your fingers.

Wang Zhiqiang's body tensed instantly!

He looked at you in surprise, then uttered a sentence.

"Hey sis, wait a minute, let me suck it in and show you my abs so you can touch them."

These words left you speechless, both amused and exasperated, and any tension that might have been there was instantly dissipated.

"You two, doing this in front of so many people, don't you care about their lives?"

The sound of a blizzard rang out, and when you looked over, you saw her wearing a red turtleneck belted coat and black boots, dressed in a super mature and sophisticated style.

You pulled your hand out of Wang Zhiqiang's clothes, deliberately whistled a clumsy tune at the blizzard, and exclaimed in admiration:

"Wow, a stunningly beautiful woman has appeared."

Blizzard raised her hand and tossed her long, curly hair, replying haughtily, "Your greatest strength is your impeccable taste."

I agree with that.

Luo Wei's voice came from behind her, and then he walked over and greeted you and Wang Zhiqiang.

“yn, Zimo”.

He was dressed entirely in black today, wearing a black sweater and black trousers underneath, and a long black down jacket on top, which made him look tall and slender, perfectly matching his refined and scholarly demeanor.

However, to match your style, he added a dark red scarf, which he draped around his neck.
