Chapter 238, Section 237: Tsinghua University's Daniel Wu
Hearing this, Jiang Xia felt a moment of joy, at least she wouldn't have to suffer through queuing. But then she thought, wait a minute.
What good is knowing how to cut hair if you don't have the tools?
“Uh… even a skilled cook can’t cook without rice. Even if you know how to cut hair, it won’t help.” Jiang Xia frowned.
"I was worried that haircuts would be expensive in Beijing, so I brought my tools. I have clippers and scissors," Tang Qiuting said, somewhat embarrassed.
Jiang Xia was slightly taken aback. This was actually possible? But being frugal and thrifty was indeed her style; most people wouldn't do something like this.
"Qiu Ting, you've forgotten something. Neither of them can get into the girls' dormitory, and you can't get into the boys' dormitory either. So, even if you have the tools, it won't help," Lin Yanwan said seriously.
"Oh, right." Tang Qiuting blushed and scratched her head; she had actually forgotten about it.
"It can be cut."
Su Qing smiled and said, "Just report it to the building manager."
"Teachers shouldn't allow this kind of thing, right?" Si Si frowned.
"As long as we don't go upstairs, it'll be fine, right?" Jiang Xia glanced at Su Ma and instantly understood what he meant. "Qiu Ting will cut our hair in the lobby of the boys' dormitory in a little while."
Su Qing nodded with a smile.
It's clear that neither he nor Jiang Xia have any idol baggage.
"Wow, handsome Su, you're getting a haircut in public! Aren't you shy?" Cui Jiaying blinked.
He shrugged slightly: "Anyway, everyone has a buzz cut. Is there any difference between getting it cut at a barbershop and getting it cut in the dormitory lobby?"
“Yeah, with your looks, you two probably wouldn’t look too bad with buzz cuts. What’s that saying again? A buzz cut is… is…” Cui Jiaying frowned. She had just remembered it, but suddenly she forgot.
“It’s the only standard for judging a handsome guy,” Si Si said calmly.
"Yes, yes, that's it."
"Then it's decided! Qiu Ting will be in the boys' dormitory soon, and you can cut our heads. Don't worry about it looking bad, just go ahead and do it. If it really doesn't work, you can shave my head bald, I don't mind." Jiang Xia said with a smile.
He had long wanted to try what it was like to have a shaved head, but he had never had the chance.
"No...no way..." Qiu Ting quickly shook her head.
Jiang Xia is so handsome, what if Yan Wan gets upset if the haircut isn't good? So I have to be extremely focused.
After lunch, the group of boys went to the barbershop together. Tang Qiuting returned to her dormitory and took out electric clippers, a hair comb, a hair dryer, and a cape to block out stray hairs from her suitcase.
Si Si was amazed; she hadn't expected Qiu Ting to have such a complete set of tools.
The others were also eager to see how Qiu Ting would cut the hair of the two handsome guys, so they followed her to the lobby of the boys' dormitory building. Jiang Xia and Su Qing were already waiting there, both wearing sandals, T-shirts, and shorts, so they could take a shower later.
"Teacher, we have military training today, and the instructors told us we have to have short hair. But the barbershops are packed. Luckily, a friend of mine knows how to cut hair, so he's planning to cut our hair in the lobby. Is that okay? We promise we'll make sure all our hair is neat and tidy!" Jiang Xia said to the dormitory supervisor.
"To get it cut in the lobby?"
The dormitory manager was slightly taken aback. In all her years as a dormitory supervisor, she had heard all sorts of reasons why people wanted to enter the boys' dormitory, but this was the first time she had ever seen a girl cutting a boy's hair in the lobby.
Yes! That's right!
"Strictly speaking, students of the opposite sex are allowed to stay on the stairs as long as they don't go upstairs, but they must clean up any hair on the floor," the dormitory supervisor warned.
"no problem!"
After receiving a positive reply, Jiang Xia moved a chair to a corner of the lobby, where there was a power outlet and a ready-made dashboard mirror, perfectly meeting the requirements of the barbershop.
Tang Qiuting blushed and said thank you, teacher, then plugged in the electric clippers. Jiang Xia and Su Qing exchanged a glance and said in unison, "You go first?"
"Okay, I'll go first."
Jiang Xia smiled nonchalantly, sat down on the chair, and tied on a hair styling cape. The boys passing by glanced at her and were all curious about what she was doing.
When I saw the scissors and electric clippers in Qiu Ting's hand, I was shocked. Holy crap, Tsinghua University is really full of hidden talents. There are even girls who can cut hair.
The key point is that she also had tools, which is outrageous.
Tang Qiuting carefully examined Jiang Xia's hairstyle, then looked in the mirror, pondering how to cut it so as not to affect his handsomeness.
"It's okay, Qiuting, don't feel pressured. You can cut it however you like, I don't mind," Jiang Xia said with a smile, encouraging her.
She turned to look at Sister Yanwan, who smiled slightly: "Qiuting, just cut your brother's hair the way you usually do. Good luck!"
"Um!"
Tang Qiuting took a deep breath, slowly turned on the clipper switch, held a comb in one hand to lift her long hair, and used the other hand to push down the first strand of hair along the comb, then the second, the third... Her bangs, sideburns, top hair, and the hair at the back of her neck were all slowly shaved flat.
Gradually, more and more people gathered around to watch.
Honestly, it's quite novel to see a cute girl using electric clippers to cut a boy's hair.
Jiang Xia looked at himself in the mirror and saw that his hair was getting thinner and thinner, but his facial features were becoming more refined and three-dimensional, giving him a clean and rugged handsome look.
Cui Jiaying nudged Lin Yanwan's large chest with her elbow and whispered, "Yanwan, your boyfriend looks so handsome with short hair! Do you have any more good options like him? Can you introduce me to one?"
"Isn't Su Qing already there? Go after him yourself," Lin Yanwan said with a light laugh.
Cui Jiaying sighed helplessly, “I can tell that the handsome Su has absolutely no feelings for me. Every time I talk to him, he just ignores me, as if he’s talking to thin air.”
"Then that's all."
Lin Yanwan couldn't help but think of Wang Ming, but that guy was so fixated on his best friend that it was even more impossible.
A few minutes later, Tang Qiuting finally finished styling Jiang Xia's hair and took out a sponge to gently brush away the hair around his face and neck.
It wasn't a buzz cut or a flat top; it was a short buzz cut, with the sides shaved flat like a crew cut, a few wispy bangs on the forehead, and the hair on top of it varying in length, perfectly matching his head shape.
For example, Daniel Wu and Eddie Peng both have a buzz cut.
So, it's not an exaggeration to call him the "Daniel Wu of Tsinghua University" now, right?
Looking at her new hairstyle from side to side, Jiang Xia was quite satisfied. Without her thick hair, she looked much more refreshed, and her smile appeared even more radiant.
"Impressive. Your skills are no worse than those of outside hairdressers, and perhaps even better," Jiang Xia said with a smile.
Then he took out ten yuan and handed it to her, but Qiu Ting quickly shook her head and refused.
"Brother Jiang Xia, I just want to help in any way I can, no... I won't take any money."
“Just take it. This isn’t helping you; it’s a transaction. I’ve enjoyed your service, so I have to pay you. That’s what you deserve.”
Without saying a word, Jiang Xia forced the money into her hand.
"I think I'm the one who got the best deal. It's cheaper here than at the barbershop, and the haircut is great. I might even come back to you for my haircut in the future."
