Chapter 1364: Dressing for the One Who Pleases Himself
As the aftereffects of the wine took effect, Bai Shan truly felt drunk. A wave of sleepiness came over him. He closed his eyes, his breathing slowly became longer, and the hand holding Manbao relaxed slightly.
Manbao supported his chin with his other hand and observed him carefully, then poked his face gently with his fingers. After confirming that he was really asleep, he smiled slightly and was about to carefully pull his left hand out of his palm, but he reflexively grabbed it.
Manbao: ...
She sat there for a long time, making sure that he was not asleep yet, and then she sat there bored.
There were only two of them in the room. One of them was lying down and sleeping. Manbao was really bored, so he could only talk to Keke. "Speaking of which, humans are also living creatures, right? Will the encyclopedia include humans as well?"
Koko was shocked by her and didn't understand why she had such a dangerous idea.
It said, "No, not only humans, but all intelligent creatures cannot be included. This is illegal."
Manbao nodded and continued to stare at Bai Shan. Another question popped up, "Do you think Bai Shan is pretty?"
Koko: "...Host, aesthetics is a subjective judgment. I don't have subjective consciousness."
"What about objectively speaking?"
"Based on the existing data, most people think he's good-looking." Koko paused and said, "The host is also considered good-looking in the data."
Manbao became delighted and continued to stare at Bai Shan with his chin supported.
As she looked, she glanced outside quietly and found that Daji was no longer in the yard. She took out a pen and an inkstone from the system, ground some ink, and drew his eyebrows.
After she finished drawing, she asked Koko, "Look, is this a sword eyebrow?"
Koko looked at the two black eyebrows and remained silent.
Manbao, however, held up his face and looked at it very seriously, "It seems to be a little rough..."
Koko: ...Is that a little bit?
Manbao waited until Bai Shan fell asleep and completely relaxed his hand before she pulled her hand away.
Bai Shan slept very soundly and did not wake up until the evening. He rubbed his eyes, looked down and saw the light ink on his fingers. He felt something was wrong and immediately got out of bed to look in the mirror.
Looking at the person in the mirror, Bai Shan was speechless for a long time.
He took a deep breath, opened the door and went out. Ignoring the surprised looks of the servants outside, he said directly, "Go get a basin of warm water."
The servant came to his senses and immediately turned around and ran to the kitchen to fetch water.
Daji happened to pass by and was also shocked.
Counting it up, the young master hasn't had his face painted since he was nine years old. This is...
Bai Shan was also a little depressed. When he was a child, he sat at the same table with Manbao. Sometimes after lunch, when they took a nap on the table in the school, they could not help but draw things on each other's faces.
They even had a fight over this, and the teacher punished them several times.
But they no longer did this when they grew up. Who would have thought that at his age, he would still have his face painted by Manbao.
Bai Shan sat in front of the mirror in a depressed mood. He felt something was wrong. He took a closer look. Just then, a servant came in with water. He asked him, "What do you think is the ink painting on my face?"
The servant looked at it, suppressing his laughter, and asked, "Master, are you drawing eyebrows?"
Bai Shan thought, "Eyebrows?"
The servant nodded. Isn't it eyebrows? The young master's eyebrows are already very beautiful. Miss Man drew two such thick eyebrows, and the ink was accidentally connected together, making it look like a straight black hair across the eyebrows.
Bai Shan stopped the servant who was about to leave and said with a stern face, "Wait until I finish washing before leaving."
Bai Shan washed the ink off his face, and the water turned black. He wiped his face, looked in the mirror again, and turned to ask the servant, "Don't my eyebrows look good?"
The servant nodded directly, "He is handsome. There is no one more handsome than the young master in this ten miles and eight villages, except Miss Man."
Bai Shan: ...Who wants to compare with these villages within a few miles? Outside these villages there are counties, outside counties there are states, outside states there are roads, and they have all gone to the capital now!
Lord Yang is so handsome. It would be fine if he didn't compare himself with Lord Yang, but he shouldn't compare himself with the people in the surrounding villages, right?
Bai Shan looked at his eyebrows in the mirror again and asked thoughtfully, "How do I draw sword-shaped eyebrows?"
Servant: ...Do men also need to draw their eyebrows?
Seeing that the servant couldn't answer, Bai Shan didn't force him and waved his hand to let him go.
Bai Shan changed his clothes, stretched and went out. Daji was waiting for him outside and followed him when he came out.
Bai Shan turned around and said to him, "You go home. I won't go out tonight. I'll go next door to look for Erlang and my cousin."
Daji nodded, said something to the servants in the yard, and went to a side yard at the back.
Erji lived there, and his accommodation was much better than that of the other servants in the family because it was previously used as a guest house, not a servant's room.
Bai Shan asked the servant to tell his grandmother and mother, and went directly to the next door to find Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang and the others had already eaten dinner. When he heard him say he slept all the way through, he asked the kitchen to make him a bowl of noodles. Then he stared at his face and asked, "Why are your eyes red? Did you cry because you got drunk and got scolded?"
"No." Bai Shan wanted to discuss eyebrow drawing with them, so he gestured for them to look at his eyebrows. "Do you think my eyebrows are ugly?"
Bai Dalang and Bai Erlang stared at his eyebrows seriously and said, "It's a little red."
"It's a little unkempt," Bai Dalang asked. "Did you cut it?"
Bai Shan: “…No.”
He also stared at Bai Dalang's eyebrows. As for Bai Erlang, he didn't even bother to look at him. After taking a look, he said with disdain, "Brother, why don't you draw your eyebrows?"
Bai Dalang thought he had misheard for a moment, scratched his ears and asked, "What did you say?"
Bai Shan said, "Brother, you're not young anymore, why don't you take care of yourself?"
Bai Dalang was now certain that he had heard correctly.
He looked at Bai Shan, then turned his head to look at his brother to make sure he was not dreaming, and then reached out to touch Bai Shan's forehead, "Is this the first time you've drunk alcohol and ruined your brain? Drawing eyebrows is a woman's job, why should I draw them?"
Bai Erlang nodded repeatedly, and also felt that Bai Shan had lost his mind.
But he quickly realized what was happening, snickered, and asked, "Does Manbao dislike your good looks?"
Bai Dalang asked him, "Why are you so happy that your junior sister despises your cousin for being ugly? You are not even as good-looking as him."
Bai Erlang was very confident in himself, "Nonsense, everyone says I'm good-looking."
Bai Dalang ignored him and said directly to Bai Shan: "I have never seen a man drawing eyebrows, cousin, please don't do anything rash."
"What is this?" Mr. Bai brought in a bowl of noodles and handed it to Bai Shan, saying with a smile, "Shan Bao, you came just in time. I was just about to discuss your eldest cousin's marriage with you."
Bai Dalang: "...Dad, I'm the one who said I'm going to kiss you, right?"
Mr. Bai glanced at him and said, "Don't think I don't know. It was Shanbao who reminded you that you remembered to talk about the lady from the official family."
Bai Dalang: ...
See you tomorrow
