Chapter 172 Thinking About Life

The spring sunshine was warm on my body.

Lin Cheng was sitting on the balcony like a salted fish, watching videos boredly, and felt his leg being kicked gently.

"Hey! Move over."

"What for?"

Xiao Tong was holding a box in his hand, a little dissatisfied with Lin Cheng occupying the most comfortable position on the balcony to bask in the sun.

"Move aside, I want to paint my nails here."

Lin Cheng moved reluctantly, muttering: "Why are you here to join in the fun? Just stay inside."

Xiao Tong sat down and rolled his eyes at him, "Why are you like a boss? This is our room."

"Comrade Xiao, look at you, you are being polite again, aren't you?"

Lin Cheng waved his hand, "I said what's yours is mine, why are you being so polite to me?"

Xiao Tong wrinkled his nose and snorted, put down the tool box, lowered his head and stretched out his slender white fingers, ready to start painting nails.

Taking a piece of paper and gently wiping the surface of the moist and clean nails, Xiao Tong used a small brush to dip in transparent oil and carefully applied it on it.

Lin Cheng is a curious person. He looked up and looked again, "Isn't this color the same as without painting?"

"This is the base coat, of course there is no color, I will paint it later."

"Oh."

Lin Cheng dropped his phone and sat next to him, staring at Xiao Tong's actions with curiosity.

"Xiao Tong."

"What?"

"How did you cut your nails? Why do they look so neat?"

"How else can I cut them? Of course I cut them myself."

"Why are my nails not as neat and beautiful as yours?"

"Because you are stupid."

Lin Cheng looked down at his nails.

They are already a little long, and they don't look so neat. Some places look like they have been chewed by a dog.

Usually, Lin Cheng doesn't care whether his nails look good or not. He just picks up the nail clippers and cuts them short in two or three strokes. Now he carefully compares Xiao Tong's fingernails and finds that nails can also be trimmed so beautifully.

"Can you help me cut it? I can't do it well."

"No time, can't you see I'm busy?"

Xiao Tong continued his work without raising his head.

Lin Cheng curled his lips and turned to see Han Shuyan looking at him with a smile.

"Sister Shuyan..."

"I'll go get the nail tools, wait a minute."

Han Shuyan stood up, as if she knew Lin Cheng would definitely ask her for help.

Lin Cheng smiled, watched Han Shuyan enter the room, and hummed a happy tune.

Looking up and glancing at Lin Cheng, Xiao Tong couldn't help but stabbed him, "You guys always bother Sister Shuyan, what will you do if you leave Sister Shuyan in the future?"

Lin Cheng was stunned and stopped talking.

"Hey! Are you dumb?"

"Don't pay attention to me, I'm thinking about life."

When Han Shuyan brought the tools, Lin Cheng sat in front of her and honestly stretched out his hand to let her do it.

"Please give me a better-looking look."

"I know, I know."

Han Shuyan asked Lin Cheng to put his fingers together and carefully trimmed the outline with a nail clipper.

After trimming the outline, she held Lin Cheng's hand again and began to trim the edges and corners of the nails little by little in one direction with a nail clipper.

She spent a lot of time on the nails on her left hand alone, but it was obvious that the shape of the nail surface became rounder, and the length of all nails remained the same, which was much more beautiful than before.

"It turns out to be so troublesome."

The procedure was not complicated, but the repeated polishing process was not easy. Lin Cheng felt very tired just by stretching his hand to keep the posture.

"What do you think? If you cut it casually like you did, it would certainly not look good."

Han Shuyan looked at him with amusement, then lowered her eyes and lowered her head to carefully trim the nails on Lin Cheng's right hand.

She lowered her head slightly, with one side of her long hair pinned behind her ear, and the hair on the other side was dyed with a layer of rosy light by the sun, half covering her delicate cheeks.

"Ah Cheng, don't cut your nails too short to save trouble in the future, otherwise it's easy to hurt the nail bed."

"Yes."

"It's best to soak your nails in warm water before cutting them yourself."

"Yes."

"Don't rub them back and forth when you use a nail scissors, otherwise it's easy to hurt the nail root."

"Yes."

Lin Cheng was a yes-man for a long time, and Han Shuyan looked up and saw him staring at her.

"Are you listening? Will you do what I say?"

Lin Cheng said honestly: "No, it's too troublesome."

Han Shuyan glared at him, so many words were said in vain.

Xiao Tong stretched out her fingers painted with light pink nail polish and compared them in the sun, and casually interrupted: "Sister Shuyan, why did you say so much to him? No matter how much you say, it's useless, he will only remember one thing."

Lin Cheng subconsciously asked: "What is it?"

"Of course, if it's too troublesome, just go to Sister Shuyan."

Lin Cheng opened his mouth to refute, but it seemed that this sentence was not wrong.

Seeing the smile in Han Shuyan's eyes, Lin Cheng glanced at Xiao Tong, "Don't blame me, aren't you the same?"

Xiao Tong stopped what she was doing and suddenly realized that she was not much better than Lin Cheng.

"Hmm~~~Sister Shuyan, what should I do if I leave you in the future?"

Looking at the two of them, Han Shuyan finally couldn't help but chuckle.

After trimming his nails, Lin Cheng put his hands together in front of him and looked at them again and again, looking very satisfied.

Xiao Tong also painted her nails, and stretched out her fair and delicate feet to change the color of her toenails.

Seeing Lin Cheng looking at her curiously, Xiao Tong rolled his eyes at him, "What? Do you want to paint your nails too?"

Lin Cheng pouted and turned his head away, "By the way, who of you is free this afternoon? Go with me to buy an eyeliner, okay? I don't know how to choose."

"Why are you buying eyeliner?"

Lin Cheng coughed twice, "Yesterday I accidentally broke Sister Shiyan's eyeliner, and it was Enxi who took the blame for me. I'm going to buy some almonds to reward the little girl, and pick an eyeliner by the way."

Xiao Tong was shocked: "You actually let Enxi take the blame for you, are you still a human being?"

Facing Xiao Tong's soul-searching questioning, Lin Cheng turned his head away and pretended not to hear it.

Han Shuyan put down the book and thought for a while, "Anyway, there's nothing to do now, why don't we go now? I'm also going to buy some cosmetics."

"Okay, okay, let's go now."

Lin Cheng quickly stood up and looked at Xiao Tong: "Xiao Tong, are you going?"

"I..."

"Forget it if you don't want to go, then Sister Shuyan and I will leave, you take care of the house."

Xiao Tong: "..."

Did I say I wouldn't go?

Xiao Tong looked at the nail polish that had just been applied on her feet, and glanced at Lin Cheng: "Then buy me some yogurt-flavored almonds."

"No problem."
