I don't get why everyone's so weirded out about the eyelashes thing. There are two obvious explanations, one naturalistic, one tactical. The first is that Qiu Tong is very very lovely and Sun Jing is head over heels for her and was looking, half-hypnotized, deep into her eyes and thinking "Wowww, those beautiful eyes, those lovely eyelashes" and then was interrupted with "Why are you looking at me?" and just sort of said what she thought--those are so fascinating I wanna touch them. In which case she's just lucky she wasn't checking out Qiu Tong's boobs at the time.
The second is, Sun Jing wants to flirt with Qiu Tong and get across to her viscerally that she should be considering Sun Jing in a sensual context. One of the best ways, obviously, is physical contact. But there are a lot of physical contacts you can't ask for--it would not go over well if she said "Can I run my finger across your lips", "can I stroke your throat" et cetera, let alone naughtier areas. Eyelashes is great--it's barely a touch, doesn't have direct and obvious sexual connotations, so it's maybe OK to ask, and yet it's romantic--eyelashes are a site of beauty, and you clearly wouldn't be asking if you weren't captivated by the person, and a touch will be done very delicately.
And they are tickly. Nobody ever heard of "butterfly kisses"?
