Chapter 70 She is Thin-skinned
Cen Nian's heart was like a balloon that was gradually getting bigger. The bigger the balloon got, the more obvious its rising feeling became, as if it was about to explode at any moment.
He said she was cute.
Cen Nian couldn't help but think of what Zhu Zhiyao had said to her.
"Did Aunt Liu apply medicine on you?"
Cen Nian nodded stiffly: "Yeah."
He placed the medicine he brought on the table: "Three times a day, don't forget."
"oh......"
Until Jin Siyang left, Cen Nian still maintained the same sitting posture.
A faint voice came from downstairs: "Si Yang, do you want to go out?"
"Um."
Uncle Li put down the watering can and said, "I'll give it to you."
Cen Nian looked in the direction he left and muttered quietly, "It's almost eight o'clock, where is he going?"

Uncle Li drove the car to the underground parking lot of the mall, and Jin Siyang took the elevator alone to the first floor of the mall.
Although it was already eight o'clock in the evening, it was the weekend and the mall was bustling with people.
The first floor is filled with all kinds of big-name skin care products and cosmetics, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance. Jin Siyang walks alone in the mall, as if looking for something.
He stopped in front of a brand and looked up at the brand name. The salesgirl was stunned for two seconds before coming forward: "Hello, what can I do for you?"
Jin Siyang pursed his lips: "Do you have an eyebrow pencil?"
"Eyebrow pencil?" The salesgirl smiled and said, "Of course we have it. Our eyebrow pencil is our flagship product, and many celebrities love to use it. Which one do you like, handsome boy? Why don't you try it on your face?"
"It's not for me." Jin Siyang's voice was a little cold. He followed the salesgirl to the eyebrow pencil area, where there were a wide variety of products for people to choose from. He didn't know much about this area and didn't know how to start for a moment.
The salesgirl was incredibly smart. She understood instantly and spoke even more gently, "Hey handsome boy, are you buying this for your girlfriend?"
Hearing this, Jin Siyang's slightly drooped eyes slowly froze. He didn't speak for a long time, nor did he deny the word "girlfriend".
The salesgirl enthusiastically promoted the product. Thinking of Cen Nian protecting his hat, he curled the corners of his lips slightly and said, "A natural color, preferably one that won't be noticeable from a social distance."
"Handsome boy, you've come to the right place. Our eyebrow pencils are designed to look natural, like naturally grown, wild eyebrows." The salesgirl picked out an eyebrow pencil and drew a few lines on her hand. "Take a look. Are they the same color as your girlfriend's eyebrows?"
"Is the little girl shy and worried that others will notice it?" the salesgirl said again.
Jin Siyang's eyes fell on the lines on the salesgirl's hand, and he said in a slightly slower tone, "Well, she's quite thin-skinned."
He didn't hesitate and bought two as he thought they were suitable.
Passing by a cake shop, I saw that there was only one piece left of a popular item that had been sold out.
Jin Siyang bought another cake.
Eating something sweet should make her happier.

An hour and a half later, Cen Nian finished a physics paper. She was a little tired, so she stopped doing her homework and picked up a book to read.
There was another knock on the door. She reached for her hat and then pulled it back. "Come in."
Jin Siyang was carrying an exquisite bag. He was such a tall man with big hands, and it was indeed a bit funny to see him carrying such a small and exquisite bag.
"What's wrong?" Cen Nian asked with a suppressed smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Jin Siyang sat next to her and handed the bag to her.
Cen Nian shook her head: "Nothing, what is this?" She quickly changed the subject.
"Open it and see for yourself."
Cen Nian opened the bag and carefully unpacked the box. Two eyebrow pencils fell out. "This is... an eyebrow pencil?"
"Well, you can draw, right?"
Cen Nian's eyes were a little moist. She stared at the eyebrow pencil in her hand, her voice a little choked: "I... I only know how to paint with watercolors, and I have never drawn eyebrows."
"I'll teach you."
She looked at him with a pair of wet eyes. Jin Siyang was stunned for two seconds and looked away awkwardly. He picked up an eyebrow pencil, opened the lid, and compared it with her eyebrows.
After a few seconds, he whispered, "It might touch your face."
Cen Nian shook his head stupidly: "It's okay."
"I'm sorry." Jin Siyang said this. Before Cen Nian could react to what he meant, the next second, he felt a warmth on his face.
He gently supported Cen Nian's face with his palm, and his slender knuckles fell on her soft cheek. Cen Nian's eyes suddenly widened, and her crystal-black pupils reflected Jin Siyang's shadow.
In order to draw her eyebrows, he sat closer. He smelled the fragrance of Cen Nian's shower gel in his nose. Jin Siyang's breathing became disordered for a moment. He pursed his lips and drew her eyebrows stroke by stroke. His movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her.
Cen Nian was stunned and at a loss. She was so close to Jin Siyang that she could feel her warm breath. His palms held her face steadily and gently. Cen Nian was anxious for a moment and swallowed her saliva.
After two minutes, Jin Siyang whispered, "Okay."
Cen Nian's stiff body finally relaxed for a moment: "Oh...Okay."
They both sat up straight uncomfortably. Cen Nian took the mirror and looked at herself again and again to ease the embarrassment. Finally, she said, "You draw it well. This way, others won't be able to tell that my eyebrows are burned off."
"Um."
He had his hands in his pockets and a grim expression.
Cen Nian pondered for a moment: "Jin Siyang, are you trying to make it up to me because you lost your temper with me today?"
"It's okay, actually. I was a little angry at first, but after you apologized to me, I didn't care at all."
Cen Nian didn't dare to look at him. She stroked the mirror in her hand and spoke out her thoughts.
Jin Siyang suddenly glanced at her sideways, which made Cen Nian feel a little numb. She heard Jin Siyang take a breath, and the next second, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch Cen Nian's face: "You are so stupid."
"???" Cen Nian grumbled in dissatisfaction, "I was just trying to praise your eyebrow-drawing skills, why are you calling me stupid?"
"Because I'm smarter."
Well, Cen Nian really couldn't refute it. How could he draw eyebrows so well when it was his first time?
Cen Nian looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyebrows were slightly curved, just like her original ones, and ripples began to form in her heart again.
Jin Siyang didn't stay long. He had already crossed many boundaries tonight. After returning to the room, he felt his palms were burning.
He took out his phone and unlocked it casually. The video on it suddenly changed from pause to play: "Learn some tips on eyebrow drawing..."
He quickly closed the video and cursed inwardly, "How stupid."
I just don't know who this "so stupid" sentence is referring to.
