Then Jiang Lingxi saw the so-called Meitu Square that Lu Zhengzheng mentioned. She was speechless when she saw that a picture of herself in the square was praised by nearly 100 million people for being beautiful. It was not even a full-face photo.
In the past, she was praised most for her martial arts skills. After all, no courtier dared to criticize the emperor's appearance. This is the first time she has been complimented simply because of her appearance.
What a novel experience!
"There are people on the Internet arguing about these two photos. I'd say they were full of food. Aren't these photos all about you, Sister Xixi? Anyway, I think they all look good."
When Jiang Lingxi heard this, she silently added in her heart: I just want them all.

It was already evening when the plane landed, and even dinner was eaten on the plane.
Of course, that little amount can barely satisfy your hunger.
To be fair, it doesn't taste very good either.
Anyway, they were a little hungry after getting off the plane.
After coming out of the exit and getting into the car that had been waiting outside, Jiang Lingxi and Lu Zhengzheng looked at each other and said, "Let's find a secluded restaurant to have a late-night snack before going home."
Lu Zhengzheng immediately nodded in agreement: "Listen to Sister Xixi, don't let anything upset your stomach."
The itinerary was just decided.
There was still a long way to go from the airport to the city. Jiang Lingxi took the U-shaped pillow from Lu Zhengzheng and leaned on the back of the chair to rest with her eyes closed until she heard a sound and opened her eyes, seeing the car window next to her. Crackled by raindrops.
Lu Zhengzheng was also woken up shortly after, "It's raining, and it looks like it's not raining. Sister Xixi, should we still eat outside, or should we go home and order takeout instead?"
Jiang Lingxi looked out the car window. At this moment, the car had entered the city. The traffic was increasing. The neon lights of the shops on both sides of the street were shining with colorful light. There were many people hurriedly taking shelter from the rain stopped at the door.
No one wanted to get wet in the rain, so a bit of pushing and shoving inevitably occurred in the panic.
Jiang Lingxi was considering Lu Zhengzheng's proposal. From the corner of her eye, she saw a thin girl in a gray sportswear standing at the edge of a shop outside the car window to take shelter from the rain. Before she could close her umbrella, she was struck by a sturdy bald man next to her. The big man pushed.
The steps under her feet were slippery due to the rain. The girl suddenly lost control of her balance and couldn't care about the umbrella she was holding. She panicked and tried to grab something to maintain her balance, but it was too late.
Only then did the people nearby who noticed this scene exclaimed and stretched out their hands to help, but it was not easy to grasp it accurately in the panic.
Jiang Lingxi frowned when she saw the girl about to fall. She was the first to notice the girl's crisis, but at this moment in the car, even if she wanted to help, it was beyond her reach.
Until the umbrella in the girl's hand fell to the ground, allowing her to see clearly the pale and frail face that had been hidden under the umbrella.
"parking!"
Lu Zhengzheng, who was still thinking about some good takeout, was suddenly interrupted. The driver in the driver's seat in front subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
When the two of them turned to look over, they saw that Jiang Lingxi had opened the car door very quickly, and she rushed out the moment the car door opened.
The screeching brakes were followed by a deathly silence inside the car.
For a moment, Lu Zhengzheng suspected that the person sitting next to her had just flown out.
At the last moment, he failed to grab the helping hand extended by the boy on the side. Xu Lingan closed his eyes in despair and hurriedly held his head in his hands, thinking that even if he would inevitably fall and get injured, he would still have to protect his head.
The dirty rainwater on the ground was getting closer and closer. Xu Lingan pursed his lips tightly, waiting for the next second to make contact with the ground.
But at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the side, accompanied by a harsh braking sound. At the moment when her cheek and one shoulder were about to touch the ground, a pair of hands stretched out, and one hand held her up. With her face in front of her, the other hand grabbed her shoulder, then lifted her up and lifted her up with unquestionable force.
"Did you fall somewhere?"
Xu Lingan was still a little dazed when he opened his eyes.
Her knowledge of physics told her that with the speed at which she fell down the steps just now, the possibility of not being injured was infinitely close to zero.
Now the fact is that she was really not injured. She was not even touched by the rainwater that had fallen on the ground, so she was rescued first.
The benefactor in front of her who had just pulled her up with irresistible force seemed to be just a sister who was only a few years older than her.
"No, no, thank you sister for saving me."
The two of them were very close now, and Jiang Lingxi could more intuitively see the pale face of the girl in front of her, without a trace of blood. The accident just now caused her lips to lose color, and her soft hair became sticky after getting wet. On the face, the skin color is so pale that it is a bit frightening.
With just one glance, she could tell that this girl was just as deficient as her younger sister.
However, Jin An was always a young lady from an official family since she was a child, and later became a princess. Her frail body was carefully treated by doctors. Although it could not make up for the root cause, at least it would help her grow up with less pain.
However, it was obvious at a glance that the girl in front of her had not taken care of her body. It seemed that all her physical ailments were caused by sheer force. She had just caught him in time and rescued him, and the touch on her palms was even more pitiful.
He doesn’t look like he weighs eighty pounds!
"Your hair and body are all wet. I have towels and blankets in the car. Come and wipe them in the car to warm yourself up, otherwise you will catch a cold."
Jiang Lingxi felt that she was a kind-hearted person, but not much.
The extra care given to this girl was only due to the casual glance in the car just now. The girl's profile looked very much like her little sister who died of illness at an age that should have been in full bloom.
There was no way not to make her feel compassion.
Xu Ling'an hesitated for a moment. She didn't think that the person in front of her was a bad person. Just because he got out of the car in the rain to save her, and because he had a face that made her particularly fond of him at a glance, she determined that the person in front of her was not a bad person.
What she hesitated about was that she was already soaked now, and the other party's car didn't look cheap at first sight. If she got up there, she would probably get the inside of the car dirty.
And she has no money to wash the car!
When Jiang Lingxi noticed that the other person was looking down at her, she knew what the girl was hesitating about. She simply stretched out her hand and took the person to the car without any hesitation before the person could react.
Although it was dark now, the lights were bright enough. She noticed that someone was already looking towards her. This street was really not a place to stay for a long time. She would be recognized on the street, and she couldn't wait to let this girl make her own decision.
It wasn't until he was pushed into the car that Xu Ling'an came back to his senses. He thought of something and tried to look back, "My umbrella..."
It was worth fifteen yuan, and she could earn it back by selling milk tea at the milk tea shop in front of the school for two hours!
This time, before Jiang Lingxi could turn around to pick up the umbrella, Lu Zhengzheng had already cleverly ran out of the car, ran over to pick up the umbrella that had fallen on the ground, shook off the water on it, and ran back to the car.
Jiang Lingxi took out three towels, handed one out first, kept one for herself, and the last one was for Lu Zhengzheng who went out to pick up an umbrella.
Taking the soft and clean towel in front of him, Xu Lingan pursed his lips gratefully and thanked him again, "Thank you, sister."
Jiang Lingxi pointed to her head, "Wipe your hair first. Driver, please turn on the heater."
As soon as Lu Zhengzheng got back to the car, she didn't even have time to wipe herself with the towel handed over by Jiang Lingxi. She couldn't help but look curiously at the girl who was rescued back to the car.
"Sister Xixi, who is this?"
She didn't know him, but Sister Xixi risked being seen by passers-by to save people, so she should know her.
The result was, "Ask her."
Lu Zhengzheng: "..."
I bet you didn’t know me, so you got out of the car and ran out to save people without hesitation?
She looked at the girl in front of her who was wiping her hair obediently, and saw that the other girl was also looking towards her, and smiled softly, "Hello, sisters, my name is Xu Ling'an, I am a senior in high school this year, and I am a student from the nearby No. 3 Middle School."
When Jiang Lingxi heard her name being announced, she wiped her hair for a moment.
