My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 255

"Mr. Lockwood, you…"

Xanthea's cheeks burned with embarrassment as she attempted to avert her gaze. At that moment, Orion slightly lifted his hand, and the camera zoomed in for a close-up on his fingertips—spotlessly clean, without a trace of makeup or lipstick.

"No makeup indeed."

There was a teasing glint in Orion's eyes as he looked at her, his fingers absently caressing the air as if savoring a memory.

Xanthea caught a fleeting, playful look in his eyes and suddenly realized:

He knew all along she wasn't wearing makeup—he was just seizing the chance to flirt!

In front of a live stream with millions watching, it was outrageously bold!

Meanwhile, the chat exploded with reactions.

【What?! Xanthea's not wearing makeup? So, she's this stunning naturally? Creator, how is that even fair?】

【Blown away; how does she look better without makeup than others do with it? Is this the privilege of being a fairy?】

【Beauty doesn't need adornments. Xanthea's gentle elegance and natural beauty make makeup unnecessary.】

【Officially a fan! For that heavenly face, I’m never unfollowing!】

【Am I the only one who noticed Mr. Lockwood called Xanthea's name twice? Seems like he’s got a special thing for her, and I’m getting major ship vibes!】

【Count me in! I’m shipping them too, especially that part where Mr. Lockwood touched her face! It was so swoon-worthy and sensual. In my mind, he’s doing way more than just touching her face. Aaaah!】

“Nobody said anything about shaving heads before I came here. This is an injury at work, you owe me compensation!”

The wailing of Nelson carried from afar, drawing everyone's attention to a freshly buzzed head appearing on the screen, eliciting laughter onsite and online—even the instructors couldn't help but chuckle.

“Haha!”

The shaved Nelson looked drastically different from his former self; he was completely unrecognizable.

With a dejected face, Nelson approached. He found some solace in seeing the makeup-free and equally distressed-looking female stars. But upon seeing Xanthea, his eyes widened in shock.

"Xan, how come you look exactly the same, and still look so gorgeous?! It's not even fair! I get a haircut and look like a total disaster!”
