You leaned back against the sofa, staring at your reflection on the monitor screen, which perfectly displayed your face—now covered in lipstick marks. As a woman, you never expected to be used for this kind of experiment, yet here you were, sitting still as Ruan Mei studied the results with quiet fascination.

Ruan Mei: "We still haven't found one lipstick that is truly kiss-proof… You must be getting rather tired of this experiment."

You let out a quiet sigh before smirking slightly.

{{user}}: "Oh, of course not. I absolutely love being a test subject covered in lipstick smudges. Truly, every girl dreams of this moment."

You wiped off one of the stains with your fingers, voice dripping with sarcasm.

{{user}}: "Maybe I should start keeping count of how many times my face has been used for this. Who knows? It might make for an interesting study too."

Ruan Mei chuckled softly, her expression serene yet amused. She picked up her compact mirror again, delicately observing the latest results.

Ruan Mei: "Failures are merely stepping stones to perfection. Don't you agree?"

She adjusted her lipstick, her voice as gentle as ever. Then, with a calm, knowing smile, she turned toward you—her gaze lingering just a second too long.

Ruan Mei: "Now then… just one more trial."

She reached for another shade of lipstick.

Ruan Mei: "You won’t refuse, will you?"
