Hearing the knock on the door, Ryuji, who was sitting at the table reading materials, took off his glasses and raised his head.He heard the sound of walking with his slippers pulled on, and it must be Haruko Nishi, the housemaid, who knocked on the door.She works quickly, but the fly in the ointment is that she is a bit careless. "Please come in." Ryuji agreed, and the door opened, and as expected, Haruko's round face poked in. "Madame is back." She said the same to the head of the family, speaking quickly and inelegantly. "Is it downstairs?" "Yes, in the living room."

"Understood." Long Zhi stood up.He suddenly noticed that Chunzi seemed to have something to say, so he stopped and asked, "What?" "Ah, no, nothing..." Chunzi shook his head. "By the way, Chunzi, you can work from tomorrow until evening. You have worked hard this month." "Understood." Chunzi said, retracting her head, and slammed the door shut.The sound made Ryuji frowned. On the first floor, Meifuyu was standing in the corner of the living room looking at the yard. She was still wearing a white suit, and her shoulder-length hair looked much brighter.Ryuji thought, it seems that she also dyed her hair by the way.

Seemingly aware of the movement, Mifuyu turned her head before Ryuji could speak.At that moment, he swallowed back what he wanted to say. Meifuyu's face became smaller.Of course, this may be an illusion, and subtle changes in various parts of the face change the overall effect. "How is it?" Mei Dong smiled at him, "Did you become more beautiful?" Ryuji scratched his eyebrows and walked over to his wife.He was looking for the right words. At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Then I will take my leave first." Xixi Chunzi, who had packed up her things and was about to leave, was standing at the door of the living room.

"Oh, thank you." Long Zhi's voice was a little hoarse. Ryuji listened to the movement of Haruko when she went out, while imagining what she wanted to say just now.Perhaps she too was overwhelmed by Mifuyu's changes. He turned his head to look at Mifuyu again. "It's okay." He couldn't meet his wife's eyes, "I think it's fine. Are you not satisfied?" "Very satisfied." The wife with an artificial face nodded, putting her hands on her cheeks, "I just want to be like this." "As long as you are satisfied." Long Zhi turned his head and sat on the sofa.

Meifuyu took off her coat and came to his side.He took the cigarette on the table and lit it with a lighter. "Hey, why?" "what?" "Why don't you take a closer look at my face? Is there any dissatisfaction?" "Not really." "It's not... It seems that it still doesn't suit your wishes." "It's not a question of whether you like it or not." He held the cigarette between his fingers and waved his hand lightly, "It's a bit incomprehensible." Meidong sighed: "Why do you say this again?" "I don't want to repeat the same old tune. How should I put it, I just said my true thoughts."

"Isn't it called repeating the old tune?" "I think you were already very beautiful before, I mean you when we first met. Not only me, everyone thinks so. What do you still dissatisfy?" "You hate my face now?" "I don't want to talk about it." "Please, look at me." Mifuyu put her hand on Ryuji's knee. Long Zhi turned his head to her, and his gaze collided with her gaze. His slightly upturned big eyes were staring at his face, and he felt as if his whole body was about to be sucked in.This doesn't change anything, however, the nose bridge slopes more perfectly, the chin becomes sharper, and the skin that doesn't see a single wrinkle loses its realism.Ryuji felt that this face looked like a doll's, or it seemed to be drawn by a computer, full of artificial colors.

"How?" she asked, "Do you hate such a face?" Ryuji looked away.The ash was already long, so he quickly dusted it into the ashtray. "I don't understand. Why would a beautiful woman like you have surgery on her face? You won't be home for a month at a time like this." "I apologize for causing you trouble, but it should not have affected my work. I have made all the arrangements in advance, including when I was hospitalized, and I have been in touch with you by phone and email." "I'm not saying that, I don't understand your thinking."

"Wanting to be beautiful and staying young at all times is a common dream for women. Isn't our work based on this dream?" "You are already beautiful and young, so why not be dissatisfied? At least I am satisfied and have no complaints." "Thank you." Meifuyu smiled, and even her expression looked like an image projected on a computer screen to Ryuji.She continued with that face: "But, the so-called low self-esteem, no one can understand except myself. These words were told to you before this operation." "If you want to talk about dissatisfaction, it is endless. In a few years, what if you have small wrinkles on your face again? Do you need another operation?"

"I don't know, let's talk about it later." Ryuji stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray and turned his head away.She put her hand on his neck. "Hey, look at me." She turned her husband's face to her, "Do you think I'm getting younger? People in the hospital say that I look exactly like a man in his twenties. Aren't you happy that your wife is getting younger? " He wanted to say - I don't want a doll wife, but he didn't say it, just pulled her hand away from her neck. "You're tired, go change your clothes." "By the way, maybe you shouldn't wear a suit. If you changed into home clothes, you would definitely not say that. Anyway, I'm back."

"Oh, welcome home." Mifuyu hugged Ryuji's neck tightly, kissed him on the cheek, and then let go with a coquettish smile.She got up from the sofa, turned around as if dancing, and walked out of the living room. Ryuji put his hand where her lips had just touched.It was still warm in there, which reassured him a little.There was heat on her lips, and there was blood flowing, not plastic. He took the brandy and glasses from the living room shelf and drank.Seeing his long-lost beloved wife, he was not in a good mood at all. This is not the first time Meidong has undergone plastic surgery.The first operation was when she was just married. She said that looking at the small wrinkles under the eyes felt awkward and wanted to remove them.He felt that those wrinkles were nothing to worry about, but it wasn't a major operation, and it didn't seem to be dangerous, so he decided to fulfill her wish.He didn't tell anyone about that incident, and the others didn't notice the changes in Meidong after the operation.Those wrinkles can be completely covered up with makeup.A woman who is already beautiful, no matter how refined she is, no one feels unnatural.

But not long after, she made another request, wanting to eliminate the sagging of the facial skin.In Longzhi's view, the skin on her face was not loose at all, but she cared very much.He had strongly opposed it, saying it was unnecessary, but she went for the operation without authorization.Since then, she has often undergone cosmetic surgery, which can be completed in a short period of time, so Longzhi hardly knows what exactly she has done.Some seem to be as simple as injecting something into them periodically.Later, Long Zhi didn't care too much. Things were a little different this time, and she offered to go to the United States for a month.After hearing her reason, he was taken aback.She said she wanted a full facelift. "Don't you think my face is weird?" At that time, Meidong said to her husband, "the left and right sides are asymmetrical, the eyes are also asymmetrical, the nose is a bit curved, and the position of the mouth is a bit off. Fundamentally speaking, it is the outline Asymmetric." He said that everyone's face is asymmetrical, but she shook her head vigorously. "Have you never seen a baby's face? A baby's face is symmetrical, but as a person grows up, under the influence of living habits and aging, the face gradually becomes biased." "That can't be helped." She couldn't listen to her husband's opinion at all. "I get upset every time I look in the mirror. I can't stand not having to use the obvious way to make it perfect. Even if you don't agree, I'm going to America." Meidong has made up her mind, and it seems that she will not change her mind no matter what Longzhi says.She also fully considered the work situation when she was away, and guaranteed that it would not affect Huawu's Century Grand Ceremony. "This is a rare opportunity you gave me. The business I was engaged in before in BLUE SNOW can now finally use Huawu as a stage. I will never let this opportunity go to waste." She shook Ryuji's hand and said. Indeed, she cannot be said to have neglected her work.Although she said that it was an opportunity given by Longzhi, this large-scale reorganization was originally her proposal. Long Zhi once asked why the operation was performed at this time. "The sooner the better, next year will definitely be busier than now, and the effect on business expansion will also be considered." She was talking about setting up a plastic surgery department.Through this reorganization, Huawu's business scope has expanded to the beauty and health fields previously operated by BLUE SNOW.Meidong considers that the next step is to cooperate with hospitals and enter the plastic surgery industry. Mifuyu said confidently: "There are various legal problems, but there is no way out. No matter what kind of women, no, including men, they all want to be beautiful through surgery. Such an era is coming soon. It will definitely succeed. For example, the final form leading to the beautiful magic box is like this, so I have to practice first.” Ryuji asked, in this case, why not show your face more actively?Meidong almost never shows up in public, including the parties held by Huawu, and she is absent every time.A large party is planned to celebrate the millennium on New Year's Eve this year, and it is still unclear whether she will attend. "Didn't I say it several times, I'm not good at this, and you are the face of Huawu. From the beginning of marriage, I plan to assist you behind the scenes from beginning to end. I said that I want to experience the magic box that leads to beauty for myself. , but I don’t intend to advertise myself, I just want to play the role of a test product.” Meidong left for America and just came back tonight. Ryuji starts to feel like he's married to a terrible woman.Not only does she have many talents, but she also has something called magic hidden in her body, which seems to control everything about her.If you don't notice this and want to touch that kind of thing, you will immediately fall into her trap. There were footsteps.The living room door was pushed open silently, and Mifuyu walked in.She was wearing a lavender silk pajamas. "Keep you waiting." She reached for the switch on the wall, and the light went off.Her silhouette emerged from the darkness. "What do you want?" Ryuji asked. She walked slowly to him with a smile on her face, and she could see her legs moving coquettishly under her pajamas.Soon, she stopped. "In the hospital, they all said that there was absolutely no need to trim my body, and I was as pretty as a girl in her twenties." Mifuyu unbuttoned her pajamas, exposing her fair body in front of Ryuji.He took a breath, tilted the glass in his hand, and the brandy spilled out. Mifuyu took off her pajamas and moved closer to Ryuji.He hugged her tightly.Immediately afterwards, the lips of the two overlapped.He dropped the brandy glass and put his hands around her waist, stroking her back. Ryuji felt that his thinking was gradually stopping.Just being with this woman always becomes impossible to think about anything.Even though I felt that I was being manipulated by her, a kind of pleasure rose up. His brain gradually became blank, but even so, a question still arose in his mind: Meidong changed after getting married, she got a more beautiful appearance through surgery, and looked younger.However, is this only after marriage? Before meeting herself, didn't she ever satisfy her desire once?
