Chapter 1589 - 595: A Special Surprise for Lin Shishi! (Extended - )
Lin Shishi hurriedly hugged him, then laughed and cried: "Okay... I believe you, alright!"
Zhang Jingdong gave her another kiss.
This time he didn’t kiss her on the mouth.
Lin Shishi immediately blushed and said: "Alright, I have to get ready. We still have to go pick out gifts for your parents later."
Zhang Jingdong stood up straight again, and during this process, he kissed the same spot again.
Lin Shishi felt embarrassed and happy, and gave him a playful slap, then went over to the makeup mirror.
Zhang Jingdong sat on the bed watching her do her makeup.
Two minutes later, Lin Shishi said bashfully: "Stop looking at me, my makeup skills are just average. I’ve been learning a bit from Feifei and the others recently, but I’m still far behind them!"
Zhang Jingdong immediately said: "But your base is better than theirs, so you don’t need to have skills as good as theirs."
"You just need a little makeup to be at a fairy level. If you did it too well, others wouldn’t be able to live. Be generous and leave them a way out."
Lin Shishi was instantly amused, but said: "Stop teasing me, my skills are really just average, and you’re making it even harder for me to do my makeup!"
Zhang Jingdong saw her drawing her eyebrows, and immediately said: "Have you watched ’Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber’ recently?"
"Yes, why?"
"Is Jia Jingwen, who plays Zhao Min, pretty?"
"Very pretty."
"Did you see the part where Zhao Min asks Zhang Wuji to draw her eyebrows and demands that he do it for the rest of her life?"
"...Yeah, I think there was that scene."
Zhang Jingdong immediately stood up: "Since Zhang Wuji can draw his wife’s eyebrows, starting today, I will also draw my wife’s eyebrows, and I’ll do it better than him!"
Lin Shishi clearly didn’t expect Zhang Jingdong to do this.
Although she knew Zhang Jingdong was very talented, she found it hard to believe he would do makeup for girls, especially since he seemed to want to practice starting today.
So she nervously said: "Wait until you come back, okay? We’re short on time now, be good and listen!"
Zhang Jingdong deliberately said: "Trust me, although I haven’t drawn anyone’s eyebrows before, I can draw, right? It should be similar to drawing, and I’m sure I’ll do it well!"
Lin Shishi saw Zhang Jingdong was really about to start, and quickly said: "No need, the main point is it’s almost 2 o’clock now, if we delay, it’ll get dark. How will you drive then?"
"Don’t worry, it looks so simple, it’ll be done in a minute or two!"
Lin Shishi couldn’t help but give him a sideways look: "Although it looks simple, since it’s your first time drawing, you surely won’t be familiar... please wait until you come back, okay? I’ll teach you then, and after that, I’ll let you do it. Is that alright?"
"Trust me..." Zhang Jingdong stretched out his hand: "When have I ever disappointed you?"
Seeing Zhang Jingdong seemed serious, Lin Shishi relented: "...Okay, let you draw, okay?"
She handed the eyebrow pencil to Zhang Jingdong.
As Zhang Jingdong took the eyebrow pencil, he said: "A dance with a sword moves the world; drawing eyebrows is my forte..."
He leaned in, carefully studied Lin Shishi’s face shape, determined the eyebrow shape that suited her, and started drawing.
Lin Shishi was apprehensive because it was the first time a man was drawing her eyebrows, especially since it was her boyfriend. She was also afraid Zhang Jingdong might mess up, and she wouldn’t want to criticize him. So she simply closed her eyes.
She planned to wait for Zhang Jingdong to admit he messed up before trying to fix or redo it.
But she waited a full two minutes without hearing Zhang Jingdong say "Oops, it’s ruined."
She hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly opened her eyes.
Almost simultaneously, Zhang Jingdong stopped and said: "Alright, how would you rate my eyebrow drawing skills?"
Lin Shishi blinked, leaned forward to look at herself in the mirror, then turned her head to Zhang Jingdong in disbelief: "Is this... are you sure it’s your first time drawing eyebrows?"
Zhang Jingdong remained calm: "First, tell me how it looks?"
Lin Shishi looked at herself in the mirror again, then said: "Teacher Shu drew them for me once before, and I thought she did it beautifully. But yours... is unexpectedly even more beautiful!"
"Really? You’re not just complimenting me to avoid hurting my feelings, right?"
Lin Shishi shook her head: "I’m not... Don’t you think this eyebrow shape suits me best?"
Zhang Jingdong carefully reviewed Lin Shishi’s face, then said: "Okay, it does look good! Maybe I’m a genius at drawing eyebrows too!"
Lin Shishi hesitated: "Is this... is this really your first time drawing someone’s eyebrows?"
Zhang Jingdong didn’t stutter at all: "Absolutely certain, and I can even swear to it!"
"But this..." Lin Shishi rapidly blinked: "How is that possible? Eyebrow drawing is really difficult, I’ve been learning for so long and still can’t do it well, and you..."
At this point, Lin Shishi suddenly thought of something and added: "It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just too incredible!"
Zhang Jingdong said seriously: "This is indeed a bit incredible, even I found it incredibly astonishing just now."
"But now I think it makes sense, because when I was drawing your eyebrows, my mind was filled only with thoughts of you, and I was determined to draw well for my beloved, to make her happy, and to make her see me in a new light, love me even more. I felt my hands were filled with a kind of magical power."
Zhang Jingdong leaned in to give Lin Shishi a kiss, then continued: "I think this is the rumored power of love, the magic of love. It fully proves that we are truly made for each other!"
Lin Shishi was completely swept away by Zhang Jingdong’s words, her intelligence momentarily offline.
She looked deeply into Zhang Jingdong’s eyes: "...Yes, indeed, we share true love."
Zhang Jingdong saw her moved, so he leaned in slowly and gave her a deep kiss.
