Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.

It's okay.

By the way, aren't we supposed to go to the riverside together tomorrow? Maybe I won't be able to make it, I'm really sorry." He glanced at his phone and said apologetically.

Do you have something going on?" I asked knowingly.

Nothing much, just something happened at home.

Did something happen at home or do you have a blind date?"

I was about to ask something else, but before I could speak, Lin Qin exclaimed.

Contrary to his usual calm demeanor:

"Jia Yi... What happened to your face?"

Through his astonished pupils, I felt a sudden panic rise from the depths of my heart.

"I'll go to the bathroom."

After saying that, I hurriedly left.

In the restroom mirror, my face was covered in bumps, and my once flawless makeup turned into the face of a monster with distorted features. I lightly touched it with my hand, and it felt soft and malleable, like clay that could be kneaded at will.

How did this happen?

My heart kept pounding as I took a mask out of my bag and quickly hailed a taxi back home.

"Lin Qin, I'm sorry, I'm having an allergic reaction, so I'll go back first. Let's make plans for another time."

"Okay, take care of yourself. If you need anything, just let me know."
