Chapter 579 – Xu Yan’s shocking old photographs of her in her thirties!
Afternoon.
Xu Yan’s apartment.
The bathroom has a frosted gla.s.s door, and Dong Xuebing could see Xu Yan’s silhouette taking her shower. He could imagine her naked body under the shower, and his heart was racing. He quickly turns his attention to the TV.
The TV shows a Korean drama, and the female lead had just come out of the shower.
d.a.m.n! This is making things worse!
Switch the channel!
One minute….
Ten minutes….
Twenty minutes….
Dong Xuebing felt bored and rubbed his aching back. He walks to the balcony again to adjust the position of his wet clothes under the afternoon sun. He then leaned against the windows and lit a cigarette. After smoking, he flicked the cigarette b.u.t.t out of the windows and left the balcony.
Eh? Who is this?
Dong Xuebing noticed a photo frame in the main bedroom and stopped. He got closer and looked at the photograph by the bed.
The picture was taken in Beijing, and it should be in Jingshan Park. He had been there several times as a kid. A boy around six to seven years old, smiling sweetly, and a woman in her thirties beside him. She is holding the boy’s hand. The woman in the picture has a perfect figure, and she is beautiful.
Who is she?
She is as pretty as District Mayor Geng Yuehua.
It’s rare for Dong Xuebing to see such a beautiful woman. He looks closer and finds the woman resembles Xu Yan.
Is this woman Chief Xu’s sister or relative?
But why is she keeping her relative’s photograph in her bedroom?
The bathroom door opened, and the shampoo fragrance filled the apartment.
Dong Xuebing puts down the photograph. “Sister Xu.”
“Eh? Why are you in the room?” Xu Yan enters the room. “Why are you not watching TV?”
“It’s boring, and I am looking around your apartment.”
Xu Yan had changed into a pair of loose pants and a short-sleeved blouse. She had b.u.t.tons up and did not show her cleavage. “What are you looking at?”
“I am looking at this photograph.” Dong Xuebing asked. “Sister Xu, who is this?”
Xu Yan looks at the photo frame by her bedside and smiles. “Who do you think that is?”
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. What do you mean? Are you saying this is…?
Xu Yan laughed. “The person on the right is my son. The picture was taken when I brought him to Jingshan Park. I am on the left.”
d.a.m.n! This is you!?
Dong Xuebing had thought the woman might be Xu Yan, but they look different!
Although Dong Xuebing finds Sister Xu is pretty now, it might be because he had been looking at her for some time. Others might find her “above average” now, but she is different from how she looked ten years ago. Her looks then is comparable to Geng Yuehua and Xie Huilan!
The difference is too big!
How can ten years make such a difference?
Dong Xuebing felt the old saying was right. “Woman at thirty is a flower; Woman at forty is Soybean residues.” They looked like two different people.
Xu Yan sat on the bed and picked up the photo frame. “What’s wrong? Even you cannot recognize me?”
Dong Xuebing smiles. “You were too pretty when you were young.”
“Really?” Xu Yan laughed and shook her head.
“No…. you are also pretty now.” Dong Xuebing added as he still finds her attractive now.
“Stop your flattery.” Xu Yan puts down the photo frame. “I admit I was pretty when I was young, but it was difficult during my thirties. I got divorced, and my ex-husband got custody of our son. Ha… My life had changed a lot during the past ten years and made me age fast. That’s why you cannot recognize me from the picture. Even my friends say this.”
Dong Xuebing consoled. “No… you are still pretty now.”
Xu Yan waved her hand and pointed to her eyebags and the corner of her eyes. “Did you see these? I have too many wrinkles now. I used to count them in the past, but I stopped. Look at this.” She points to a blemish spot under her eye. “This spot is getting bigger and darker every day. I have to admit that I am getting old. No one can change anything.”
Dong Xuebing looks at Xu Yan’s face. “You don’t have many wrinkles compared to other women at your age. Also, your spot is not obvious if I don’t look at it carefully.”
“That’s because I had put on makeup.” Xu Yan laughed. “I had put on concealer after my shower.”
Xu Yan might sound calm, but he can tell the sadness in her voice. Which woman doesn’t want to be pretty? It must be torturing for her to see her pretty face aging every day.
Sight….
Wait a minute!
Xu Yan’s words triggered something in Dong Xuebing’s mind!
Wrinkles? Blemish spots? Age?
That’s right! Dong Xuebing suddenly has an idea. He had used REVERSE on an inanimate object and had not tried it on other things. If REVERSE can turn back time on a specific subject, can it reverse aging in a person?
