Chapter 55: apply lipstick

Views:

After two weeks of training, Wang Jiexiang officially started selling cosmetics in department stores.

As a novice cabinet sister, she has many shortcomings.

She is still familiar with the names and functions of various products, the applicable customer groups, and the company's promotional activities.

At the cosmetics counter, employees are required to wear formal attire, full makeup, hair updos, and high heels. Except for the clothes Wang Jiexiang could wear clearly, the rest had to be practiced slowly.

Even though she was with Yin Xian, her accent was a little more standard by him, but people in the city could still easily tell that she was not a local. In terms of accent, the company does not have strict requirements. However, Wang Jiexiang observes the colleagues around her. When they entertain customers, they will deliberately speak in a correct manner so that customers can hear them clearly, and some customers have a natural liking for shopping guides with local accents. So she also wants to learn to speak more clearly and change her accent further.

Every morning, when Yin Xian opened his eyes, he could see Wang Jiexiang dressing up in the mirror.

She held her tone of voice and muttered words in her mouth.

"Skincare steps, step one, toner. Step two, eye cream, no eye cream... and no serum... then lotion or face cream, ok, face cream here. Makeup, foundation cream first, next step, liquid foundation, no , Concealer is required before liquid foundation... "

While recalling what she had learned, she picked out bottles and jars, squeezed some of this, and applied the other to her face layer by layer.

After Yin Xian washed his face and brushed his teeth, he went back to the room. She was still busy with work.

Holding a dirty sponge in her hand, she quickly pressed it on her face, painting the originally fair face into a dead white wall color.

After he had finished his breakfast, Wang Jiexiang finally put on her lipstick and finished her makeup.

Poor makeup techniques made her look at least five years older, and next she tied her hair.

Yin Xian put on his shoes and was about to go out, when Wang Jiexiang ran over with his hair coiled up and showed him the back of his head.

"Help me take a look, is the hair at the back not smooth? I feel bulging."

"It's flat enough." He stroked her neckline and pulled out a few broken hairs: "There are a few hairs falling out on the back of her neck."

Without saying a word, Wang Jiexiang untied the rubber band, put down her hair and tied it again.

"Does it need to be tied so neatly?" Yin Xian saw that she was too much trouble.

"yes."

I don't know whether to say that Wang Jiexiang is a slow learner or Yin Xian is a fast learner. She repeated the steps of making up and tying her hair in front of him every day. She was not yet proficient, but Yin Xian had already seen it.

On his rest days, she would sit in front of the mirror and dress up, and he would sit next to her with his chin propped up, watching with interest.

Wang Jiexiang put on lipstick with her mouth open, feeling that her posture was ugly, and cast a shy glance at Yin Xian.

"Oops. You stared at me, my hands are unsteady, and I can't paint well."

As soon as the words fell, the lipstick was painted on the edges of her lips. She took out a piece of paper, wiped it off and repainted.

Yin Xian, who was in the way, still stood still.

When Wang Jiexiang wanted to drive him away again, he opened his mouth.

"I will, I will help you."

"real?"

She handed him the lipstick suspiciously.

Yin Xian pinched her chin and turned her head.

Unscrewing the lipstick, he held his breath, and evenly and perfectly painted a bright red on her light-colored small mouth, which was as soft as a petal.

Wang Jiexiang looked down, and saw him staring at her lips.

Yin Xian's face is close at hand.

With thin lips, thick eyebrows, and sharp eyes, he looked at her intently, with a small hook hidden in his eyes, firmly hooking her.

Wang Jiexiang swallowed involuntarily, feeling her legs soften slightly.

"You..." He pulled his upper body away for a while, looking at her face.

Her cheeks were flushed, and she didn't know why: "Me?"

Wang Jiexiang thought that Yin Xian was going to praise her, that she was cute, that she was beautiful, because his eyes said that.

"You're too thin," he said.

"Huh?" She didn't respond.

"Too thin." Yin Xian repeated.

He stood up, put the lipstick on the table, shook his head and walked away.

"..." Wang Jiexiang was speechless.

She took out a piece of paper and looked into the mirror.

"My mouth is so beautiful!"

She sighed in the mirror.

Sharp lip line, full color... Why is he doing this

Shocked, she called out to his back.

"Yin Xian, are you practicing lipstick secretly at home?"

After changing jobs, Wang Jiexiang suddenly spent more time at home.

She has one day off a week, she works the morning shift on February, April and Six, the evening shift on Monday and Wednesday, and the whole day on Friday. That meant she was home for dinner four days a week.

The number of people who use the kitchen more at home has changed from Yin Xian to Wang Jiexiang.

The number of times they eat together has not increased compared to before, Yin Xian has basically never left work on time, and working overtime has become a habit.

In the third month when he was promoted to engineer, on the salary day, he bought a small refrigerator and went home.

The brand-new refrigerator was placed in the dilapidated rental house, which was extremely conspicuous.

Wang Jiexiang felt sorry for the money, and looked around the refrigerator left and right, nagging in her mouth: "This thing consumes a lot of electricity, we just buy new vegetables every day, we don't need it."

Yin Xian switched on the power of the refrigerator and adjusted the temperature of the refrigerator with a nonchalant tone.

"The electricity bill is not much, and the refrigerator is not expensive."

Wang Jiexiang said nonsense when he opened his eyes: "How can it not be expensive?"

"Compared to a juicer, it's not expensive."

He sold insurance before, and with the little money he made, he could buy a juicer. According to his current salary, the refrigerator is indeed not expensive for their family.

"Juicer?" She scratched her head in confusion. "You mean the one I use to juice my carrots every day?"

Only then did Yin Xian realize that he had slipped his tongue.

"Didn't you take it home because no one wanted it in your company?"

He coughed lightly, trying to avoid the topic.

Wang Jiexiang was keenly aware of the truth.

"Oh..." She suddenly realized: "So you bought the juicer."

Yin Xian subconsciously denied her.

"That's not the case."

"Why don't you admit it? You want me to drink carrot juice, so you bought a juicer, don't you!"

Wang Jiexiang narrowed her big round eyes, and there was a certainty in her smile, as well as a kind of playful complacency.

Her eyes seem to say: Haha, I have found that you love me, I am sure.

Instinctively, Yin Xian was uncomfortable, and even consciously rejected the intimacy she exuded.

Just like the time before, he almost couldn't help kissing her, seeing her eyes full of expectation, he chose to step back and keep a distance from her.

"Don't guess."

His voice turned cold for an instant.

"I don't admit it, because I don't. Do you think I'm so idle? What does it matter to me that you drink carrot juice?"

"It's coming again, the yin and yang tone is coming again."

Wang Jiexiang let out a "tsk tsk", quite displeased with his appearance.

"No, it's not."

She shrugged nonchalantly, even if the juicer didn't show her intentions, she would still drink the carrot juice squeezed out.

Knowing nothing about Yin Xian's inner drama, Wang Jiexiang's attention returned to the small refrigerator.

"You bought the refrigerator after all. What did you buy it for?"

Yin Xian replied truthfully: "With a refrigerator, you can store more dishes."

"Save some food?"

Wang Jiexiang's bad taste came out which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted.

He didn't like to listen, but she insisted on talking.

"It's so touching. I guess, is it because Yin Xian wants to buy me more vegetables to make me fat? Oh, but even if it's true, he won't admit it."

Yin Xian's way of saying "yes" and "no" was blocked by her.

And his real purpose of buying a small refrigerator was also guessed very accurately by her.

Wang Jiexiang beat him, although she didn't know it.

Yin Xian didn't know where he lost.

He doesn't know why...

I don't know why I want to fatten her up, I don't know why I care about whether she drinks carrot juice; I don't know why, he can't let go, he doesn't want to admit he cares, and he really wants to win in his heart.
