Chapter 1131 Eyebrow Drawing

The Aston Martin stopped under an old locust tree on the side of the road and turned off the engine. The passenger door was open, but Lin Nian in the seat was still playing with the bottles in the makeup box.

The area where Li Chengyue parked seemed to be adjacent to a park, surrounded by locust trees and willow trees. Not far from the parking spot, there was a row of corridors. Under the corridors was an open-air teahouse. A group of old men from Bei'an were swinging cattail fans in the park. The game of life and death is played on the chessboard. The autumn wind blows the catkins and lifts the branches and leaves of the locust tree. Pieces of white velvet fall into the lake under the stone bridge in the park, coating the bright lotus with a layer of fancy pink.

Li Huanyue, who was in the driver's seat, had already left to borrow water to remove makeup and wash her face. No girl would be as bold as her to borrow water from a random place on the street to remove makeup. Perhaps to her, there is no difference between wearing makeup and not wearing makeup. , typical practical thinking. But why does a girl who seems to be basically insulated from makeup to Lin Nian have such exquisite gadgets in her makeup box?

Lin Nian picked up two small iron gadgets that looked like drumsticks in the makeup box and played with them. After recalling their techniques, he wiped off some dust and impurities on them with a wet wipe and put them away. Set aside for later use.

It can be seen that these expensive gadgets in the cosmetic box are not often used. Judging from the production date and the amount of use, their owners may often forget them somewhere in the home. Only special ones Only when the time comes can I take them out to see the light of day again for a short period of time. La Mer's facial cream, Sisley's lotion, La Prairie's essence, just the little things for facial care are already expensive. Should we say that girls never save money on their skin?

But Lin Nian felt that Li Hueyue didn't buy these things herself, because judging from her skills in eyeliner and eyebrow drawing, she was more like the kind of person who found a cosmetics store with a good reputation and put it on from beginning to end in one go. The type who has bought everything will not be so picky about choosing such a luxurious and exquisite cosmetics set from more than 20 brands.

NARS blush, Tom Ford eye shadow palette, Guerlain's meteor powder, and some brand names that even Lin Nian has never heard of but are familiar with. He has seen many things in Su Xiaoqiang's shopping cart. When a girl takes it, When you compare this with that and ask him which one is better, it is difficult for a person like him who is serious and has a good memory not to memorize these things that he may never use in his life when checking information and quality control.

But you see, "never say never (don't say it will never happen, don't say you will never do it)" still has its truth. Who would have thought that one day he would be able to get it from another girl's makeup box? How about seeing them again and trying to use them?

When Li Huanyue stood on the curb next to the passenger seat again with a plastic bag of ice water in her hand, she saw Lin Nian in the passenger seat who opened the door and was rubbing a piece of strange-looking jade, dark green. The color and appearance are very clear and transparent, and the stripes inside are like dragon-like curves. Judging from various characteristics, it should be a piece of very good quality Hetian jade.

"What are you doing?" Li Huanyue asked Lin Nian while holding the ice water.

"Have you brought the ice water I asked for?" Lin Nian asked.

Li Hueyue raised the ice water as a gesture and turned to look at the other corner of the park, "I bought it at 7-11. Can I use ice cubes for making ice cola?"

"Food-grade ice cubes are fine, as long as they are clean." Lin Nian wiped the Hetian jade plate clean with a paper towel and put it aside. "Did the person who gave you cosmetics give this scraping board to you?"

"Scraping board?" Li Huanyue handed the plastic bag of ice water to Lin Nian with some doubts, and the latter hung it on the rearview mirror.

"You don't know this is a gua sha board?" Lin Nian put the two small metal mallets he found in cosmetics into an ice water bag to freeze them to cool down.

Li Huanyue was silent for a moment and said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Are you kidding?" Lin Nian asked strangely.

"Don't fool me into not knowing anything. This is a piece of jade to ward off evil spirits." Li Chengyue pointed at the Hetian jade plate very coldly and stiffly, "The person who gave it to me asked me to put it in my makeup box, so that It can exorcise evil spirits from those cosmetics and ensure that they don’t go bad.”

Lin Nian stared at Li Huoyue and squinted his eyes. He waited until the girl turned away from his eyes and said, "I only believe the first part of your last sentence. It should indeed appear in the makeup box." , the following should be your own misinterpretation, right?"

Li Huoyue opened her mouth, as if recalling her memory, then closed her mouth and remained silent.

"It's just a scraping board. In a literal sense, what normal people understand as a scraping board, judging from its shape and texture, should be used for shaving faces." Lin Nian picked up the scraping board and compared its arc shape, then took another look at it. After taking a look at Li Hueyue's jawline, "Well, it's a model that has been specially hand-polished for you. It can help you maintain the graceful lines of your face, sculpt the facial area, and have a bone-shaving effect with long-term use, including but not limited to Moisturizes skin, promotes blood circulation and dehumidifies. ”

"how do you know"

"My girlfriend also has one." Lin Nian interrupted Li Huanyue's feeble attempt to argue, "Her piece is a Bianstone slab. The price and quality are definitely not as good as your Hetian jade piece, but the effect of producing Sha is better than yours." It’s fast, has better dehumidifying effect, and is more suitable for her skin and body. I can see her using it every morning, and if she’s going to stay up late, she’ll also use it after moisturizing before going to bed.”

"." Li Hueyue accepted the reality with silence.

Lin Nian fiddled with the Hetian jade board and said, "You throw such a good thing in a makeup box and use it as mothballs? What a pity. My girlfriend has always wanted to find a jade scraping board to distinguish morning from night with the meteorite one, but it's a pity. What’s wrong is that there is no good jade material on the market to nourish people.”

"If you like it, I can give it to your girlfriend." Li Huanyue said.

"No need, I told you, this piece of Hetian jade is made according to your face shape and facial bones. The person who gave it to you put a lot of effort into it. You should cherish it more."

"You must be a very good boyfriend." Li Huoyue said in a rather stiff tone.

Her voice was a bit muffled and unpleasant, but it was not that she was disgusted with Lin Nian. Instead of being disgusted, it might be better described as discouraged. It felt like she had lost to the 'S' level of the Secret Party for no reason.

"Thank you." Lin Nian paused and looked up at him. Let's just take this as a compliment. Recognition from the orthodox 'Yue' is not easy. Unexpectedly, he did not get the recognition from the other party on the battlefield, but this Kind of strange place is admitted.

He put down the Hetian jade, picked up the packed cosmetic case and prepared to get out of the car, "Let it go."

Li Huanyue paused suddenly, looked up and saw Lin Nian getting out of the car quickly, and moved his body obediently out of the way of the road, but still looking at the small box in Lin Nian's hand, hesitatingly asked in a low voice, "Is there anything in the car?" Can I put on makeup?”

"The lighting is not good and the location is narrow. Your final makeup must be exposed to natural light. It is best to apply it in a place with sufficient light source."

"Why do you look more like a makeup artist than a secret party commissioner?" Li Huanyue asked in a deep voice.

"Because the secret party's commissioners have more or less taken some makeup classes for disguise and lurking. Unfortunately, no matter how much makeup is applied, it is difficult to achieve the human skin mask technology in "Mission: Impossible", so this class does not count as a credit. "There are no more professional advanced courses." Lin Nian got out of the car and looked around the surroundings. He determined that the corridor near the lake that had been transformed into a tea room and chess and card room was a good place to put on makeup, so he prepared to move.

But his thoughts seemed to be known to Li Huoyue in advance. When he took a step forward, his right arm was stuck like a plier, which made him look sideways at Li Huoyue with some confusion. Yue, "What are you doing?"

"Don't go there." Li Huanyue said.

"There is a place to sit over there, the light is good, and the scenery is good. Give me a reason not to go there." Lin Nian has always convinced people with reason. If you have any different opinions, just put them out there and discuss them. , whoever makes sense can do it.

"There are a lot of people there, and I don't like crowded places." Li Huanyue said.

"You don't seem to be afraid of crowds." Lin Nian looked up and down at Li Hueyue's pertinent comment. "I don't think you have crowd phobia. This doesn't fit your personality."

"Makeup is a private matter and cannot be done in crowded places." Li Huanyue added.

Lin Nian was silent for a moment, then retracted the steps he took, and the iron hand that grabbed him that could only chop pure-blood dragons alive also retracted.

"Would you like to get a room?" He said something like a tiger or a wolf.

"There's not enough time." Li Huanyue glanced at the DB ladies' watch on her wrist. Lin Nian glanced at it and found that except for the time, the date was wrong. This meant that the watch had not been adjusted for a long time. And the watch that appeared on her wrist was also given by someone else, probably the same person who gave her cosmetics and scraping board.

So could the person who gave her these things be the same person as the person she was going to wear these things to meet today? It would be quite romantic to meet her the way others expect you to be. And no matter who this person is, Lin Nian feels that the other person has very good taste, and anything given to Li Huoyue is the most suitable thing for her, even though she doesn't like to use it.

But is it possible that, behind the scenes of giving these things, the other party also hopes to use this method to subtly make some changes in this girl? Lin Nian didn't know, and he didn't think too much about it, because it shouldn't be his concern.

"If you don't mind, you can just paint here." Lin Nian casually placed the makeup box on the hood of the Aston Martin and opened it. He took out a car mat from the car seat and spread it on the ground to signal to Li Huo. Yue sat down.

Li Huanyue was a little hesitant, but putting on makeup in place seemed to be a good choice. They were under an old locust tree. This old locust tree occupied most of the space near the road, separating them from the street behind them. After driving, with the old locust tree at my back, all I faced was a road lined with locust trees in full bloom, a red wall on the opposite side, and cars passing by.

She took another look at the time on her watch. As she said, they did not have much time. Calculating the distance, they still had at most half an hour to put on makeup.

"Wash your hands first and apply lotion on yourself. If you do it quickly, half an hour is enough, provided you cooperate." Lin Nian leaned over and took out a few bottles of mineral water and lotion from the car, handed them out, and then suggested that He hung the bag of ice water on the rearview mirror. He turned around and looked at the girl sitting on the roadside under the locust tree, stepping on the autumn leaves, and said, "What are you doing?"

Li Huanyue, who was rubbing toner with both hands as if washing her face, clamped her hands on her face, stared at Lin Nian and fell into speechless silence countless times. Finally, she said, "Apply lotion, you Asked me to do it.”

Oh, apply lotion, I thought you were washing your face with a kitten.

Lin Nian hung the water bag on the rearview mirror again, took out a piece of soft cotton from the makeup box and clamped it between his fingers. He stepped forward and squatted under the roadside. Due to his height, he squatted down and sat with the girl on the roadside. The height of Li Huoyue's body was basically the same. He took the toner placed on the side and wet the soft cotton. He raised his hand and reached towards Li Hueyue's face.

Li Huoyue subconsciously leaned back, and Lin Nian stopped holding his hand and looked straight at her without saying anything until the other party slowly sat upright again, but looked elsewhere.

"Remember to smile and relax your face. This will help with makeup application. If you are not used to it and it feels strange, just close your eyes." Lin Nian raised his hand from Li Huoyue's cheek and gently refreshed the skin that was still fair after washing from top to bottom. Try to wake up the skin with appropriate strength, "I made you laugh, I didn't let you threaten me, what's your expression? Don't tell me that you can't laugh like the Sanwu heroine in the cartoon. I don't like this kind of person." I always thought, oh, there seems to be one next to me.”

"I can't laugh." Li Huanyue said.

"What color do you like?" Lin Nian combed along the girl's slender neck, which looked snow-white in the tiny sunlight exposed by the shade of the tree.

".Does it matter?"

"Just give me an answer." It doesn't matter what color Li Huoyue likes. What's important is that Lin Nian uses chat to distract her attention and make her muscles less tense.

"." Li Hueyue was silent. Maybe no one in her life had asked her these irrelevant and strange questions, which made it somewhat difficult for her to answer these questions when she first faced them.

"I won't laugh at you if you answer pink. Although many girls around me advertise that they like red or milky white, privately their bedroom decorations are more pink."

"blue."

"Close your eyes and imagine that there is only blue in this world, and blue is everywhere."

"No, this will make people very uncomfortable. No one will like a world full of blue." Li Huanyue said, "What I like does not mean that I want the whole world to be that way. Excessive blue Sex can make people depressed, cause motivation loss and psychological depression. Everything has two polarities. "

"All I want is for you to indulge yourself, indulge in some endless fantasies, make up the absurdity of what those things would be like if they were real, and look for some omens from them. If possible, use the omens to reflect something that your deepest soul may long for. "

"You're talking philosophy to me."

"This is not philosophy, this is poetry, the poetry of Louise Krieger. I joined a literary club in high school for a while, and the president of our literary club liked these cold and introspective things."

"I can't tell you like literature." Li Hueyue opened her eyes.

"I don't like literature. Very few people really like literature. What most people like is often just the derivatives around literature. I don't deny that literature itself is indeed beautiful and obscure, but it is precisely because of its obscurity that it is difficult to truly understand it. Understand its original beauty. Most of us like literature, but we only like those rare derivatives that are attracted by the obscure beauty of literature. We cannot understand literature, but we can easily understand those who are truly attracted by literature. Beautiful things, they are also beautiful based on literature, and are loved by ignorant people like us.”

Lin Nian said calmly. As he spoke, he carefully tapped the skin around Li Hueyue's eyes. Compared with the previous violent rubbing, Lin Nian's technique was more delicate, non-aggressive and non-manipulative. Instead, it adapts to the skin and weighs the moisture on it to make decisions about increase or decrease.

"Your girlfriend is from the high school literature club." Li Huanyue concluded with her eyes closed.

"Yes, but it's only half true. The example I gave in this example is not me, but my friend. His girlfriend is in the high school literary club, and he joined the literary club because of that girl." Lin Nian denied this. in conclusion.

"Then why do you want to join the literary club if you don't like literature?"

"Because my friend joined the literary club."

"You like your friend?"

Lin Nian put away the hand that was applying lotion to Li Huoyue, and gently scratched his forehead with an expressionless expression, thinking about whether to paint a big painted face on this girl so that she would be embarrassed in front of the people he cared about.

But after thinking about it, the bronze sword case was still in the trunk. I couldn't open the trunk door without the car key. In the end, the other party probably stabbed me with a knife. I felt a bit disadvantaged, so I let it go.

After applying lotion and lotion, he took out the bag of ice water from the passenger seat. Li Hueyue sat under the locust tree and opened her eyes. She looked at his movements and kept her good habit of asking if she didn't understand. She asked calmly, " What is ice water used for?”

Lin Nian took out the pair of small metal drumsticks from the ice water bag and said, "Cool down."

Li Huanyue stared at the pair of small drumsticks in Lin Nian's hands without saying a word.

"Let me guess, you usually use this pair of cryoballs to promote your blood circulation and lymphatic drainage to help the concealer spread easier, instead of using it to beat your back?" Lin Nian took the freezing ball and made a drumming motion. "Anyway, I think no matter how weird the usage is, it won't be weird enough to use it to play or something."

Li Huanyue looked away. Everyone could see that her cold mood concealed a guilty conscience. At least Lin Nian was right when he said that this thing had at least one wrong purpose in her hands.

"Turn towards me."

Lin Nian stopped teasing her. He squatted in front of Li Huoyue and held the pair of cold drumsticks. When he gently pressed them against the girl's skin, the other party shrank because of the temperature, but luckily he restrained his conditioned reflex to dodge. , trembling slightly and standing still.

"Since you have a good foundation, I won't put any special makeup on you. Just do a simple 'no makeup'." He said.

"What is no makeup?" Li Huanyue felt the pressure of the cold hammer rolling down on her face along the gap between her apple muscles and the bridge of her nose. This unique feeling made her feel novel and sensitive at the same time, so she tried her best to distract her with conversations. The psychology of not adapting to oneself.

"Increase the definition of facial lines and unique features, make you look more eye-catching, and leave the deepest impression of yourself with the least effort. It is more troublesome than ordinary heavy makeup, but The effect should be very good, because it is only suitable for people with good foundation, such as you.”

"Do you often put makeup on people?" Li Huoyue closed her eyes and asked in a low voice. In order to reduce the psychological burden, she said a lot of things today that she would never say at ordinary times.

"Not often, the most admired male style in Kassel College is the tough guy, Caesar Gattuso. You should know about it, right? Girls prefer men with that style. They don't use any cosmetics or facial cleansers every day. In the morning, I wash my face with cold water and use a traditional manual razor to cleanse my face. My whole body is filled with the smell of hormones," Lin Nian said, "I do makeup because people around me need to do it, and occasionally I need to do it for me, so I need it. Master this skill.”

"Are you going to be what they want for the sake of the people around you?" Li Huanyue asked flatly.

"That's too strong. It's just one more skill. There's nothing wrong with it. I can put on makeup and no one will call me a pussy. Instead, it will give me extra points in the assessment of the execution department. One more point for my teammates in dangerous missions." The chance of success in lurking mainly depends on whether you are willing to do it or not. If you don’t want to, then just don’t do it.”

Lin Nian felt that it was almost done, so he put the cryoball back into the ice water bag and took out the eyebrow pencil, "Do you like willow eyebrows? I saw that your eyebrow shape was done in the direction of willow eyebrows before."

"You make the decision." Li Huanyue said.

"There's nothing wrong with a cool cyan eyebrow pencil. It's suitable for your acquired cold white skin. Your fair skin is not because you are born white. You are an orthodox Asian, so your skin should be yellowish. But you should start it very early. When you were young, you underwent a set of surgeries called the 'month' plan, which resulted in poor blood circulation for a long time. When the body's blood circulation is affected, the blood cannot be effectively transported to the surface of the skin, resulting in a cold white color on the skin. Of course, long-term and large secretion of adrenaline leading to vasoconstriction is also one of the reasons for skin whitening. I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. In short, this should be a good thing in terms of makeup." Lin Nian said, "Just Liu Yemei. I think it suits you very well. Sometimes it’s always a good thing to change and try a new style.”

"You know more than I thought." Li Huoyue said after a moment of silence.

"What do you think I should look like?" Lin Nian compared the three-point positioning method with the eyebrow pencil, trying to construct in his mind the look of a pair of curved eyebrows that this girl should have.

"." Li Hueyue did not answer this question.

"Has anyone ever taught you how to put on makeup before? Or are you always self-taught?" Lin Nian asked.

"Someone taught me."

"But you didn't study hard?"

"I only taught her once. She painted me once."

"Does it count as a lesson if you have painted once? It seems like your understanding is not that bad."

"Is this sarcasm?"

"It's a compliment."

"There's no point in wearing makeup."

"It really doesn't make sense to someone like you."

"."

"It's also a compliment. People with natural beauty don't need makeup, at least most people think so." Lin Nian said, "But makeup is something you do to please yourself or others. You don't want to please yourself." People, so you put on makeup for others. Makeup doesn’t need to be good. As long as you do it, it means that the expectation is conveyed. I believe that even if I don’t change your makeup for you, the person you want to see will People will be happy to see you.”

Li Huoyue's lips moved slightly, feeling a little strange in her heart, but she suppressed it.

She started to stop talking, so Lin Nian stopped talking and just quietly did what he was doing, seriously and attentively.

In the darkness, she could only hear the sound of wind blowing leaves, the traffic and the chirping of birds in the park. She felt the strokes between her eyebrows. There seemed to be something soft swiping at the top of her eyebrows, which made her feel itchy. Some want to sneeze.

And every time she felt slightly abnormal, the discomfort would lessen. The other party seemed to be able to detect her feelings in advance and leave a little buffer space for her to minimize the discomfort.

It was a strange sense of synchronicity. The other person seemed to know what she was thinking and could empathize with her. It seemed that he could understand himself and understand her from simple makeup. Although it was just a small thing, this feeling of recognition and companionship was her Never experienced before.

She didn't know if it was because of the sun or her makeup. She closed her eyes calmly and felt that the skin on her face was slightly warm, probably due to the previous freezing ball.

The eyebrow pencil was slightly raised and showed emotion, and each stroke outlined the style and personality. The other person's eyebrow drawing technique was as superb as he said, or it might be simply superb compared to his own. The strokes were careful and calm, and the sense of patience and carefulness seemed to be able to pass through the darkness of the sight and the itching of the brushstrokes to her empathy.

He also had someone he cared about, someone he was passionate about. Was it his girlfriend? Or someone else?

Suddenly, there was a loose part in her heart, that was the sense of identity, and the loose things were called estrangement and prejudice.

Although it was in the darkness, she began to see a touch of light blue, just a little bit, hidden in the deepest part, floating and sinking, not knowing whether it was real or fleeting, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, she saw the bright spots left by natural light, and the person in front of her with lowered eyes and wholeheartedly carving her eyebrows.

"You can open your eyes, but don't move." Lin Nian said slowly.

Li Huoyue obeyed silently.

What a beautiful autumn in Beiyi. In the sunshine, a young boy half-knelt under the old locust tree in front of the red wall, carefully and wholeheartedly drawing eyebrows for the girl sitting in front of him. The golden leaves of the locust tree fell on the hood of the iron-gray Aston Martin and fell to the ground, rolling around their feet, as if to make a bright frame for this scene.

If the girl puts on makeup to convey her feelings, then the person who puts on makeup for her is trying to repair her feelings as much as possible. Pure kindness wraps her, making her silent and slightly strange.

Some things, like a sudden early autumn breeze, rolling on the locust leaves, causing the branches to shake.

Tourists passing by in the distance suddenly saw this beautiful scene, raised their mobile phones and took pictures, which attracted the red-haired female companion next to them to come over and ask curiously, "What are you taking pictures of?"

"Interesting things." The golden Italian handsome tourist looked at the photos he accidentally took on his mobile phone and raised his eyebrows and said.
