Chapter 163 The butler can also cut hair.
Half an hour later, Bronson led the neatly dressed Chen Yunfei slowly to Youxiang.
Chen Yunfei's hair was neatly combed, and his face was clean. Although his eyes were still somewhat dull, he looked much more refreshed overall.
Yu Xiang looked him up and down, nodded in satisfaction, and muttered to herself, "Luckily, I'm not disfigured. It's just that my hair is a bit long and messy. I need to get it cut, otherwise I look really listless."
Bronson respectfully said from the side, "Miss, let me cut it."
Yu Xiang's eyes widened in surprise, and she blurted out, "You can cut hair?"
Bronson smiled and explained, "The book Miss gave me contains information about hairdressing, so I learned a bit from it. Although my cuts may not be particularly professional, they should meet basic needs."
Yu Xiang couldn't help but feel uneasy.
When she gave the butler those books, they were all sorts of different kinds. Unexpectedly, the butler actually read them all. His learning ability was truly admirable.
Were there any books on fashion design or makeup among those available at the time? This housekeeper could learn from them; she really needs them.
Qin Zhuo looked at Youxiang, who was suddenly in a daze, with confusion, and tugged at her hand.
Yu Xiang snapped out of her daze and gave Qin Zhuo an awkward smile.
She accidentally drifted off into thought.
Immediately afterwards, Youxiang took a corpse fruit out of her pocket, stuffed it into Chen Yunfei's mouth, and said with a serious face, "You can't eat people when you eat this, understand? Otherwise I'll hit you."
Upon tasting the Corpse Fruit, Chen Yunfei's previously vacant eyes instantly lit up. He finished the entire Corpse Fruit in just a few bites, then looked longingly at Youxiang and called out, "Little Youxiang!"
Yu Xiang couldn't help but laugh at his greedy look. She took out a bag of Corpse Fruit from another pocket and said, "Here, here, these are all for you."
Upon seeing this, Chen Yunfei's eyes gleamed even brighter, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey, reaching out to grab it.
Unexpectedly, Youxiang's hand suddenly and deftly turned around, handing the bag of corpse fruits to Bronson, and said in a serious tone, "Butler, you should keep this, in case Brother Chen eats too much and gets too full. I'm entrusting Brother Chen to your care for the next period of time, so you'd better keep a close eye on him."
Bronson took the Corpse Fruit, nodded, and said, "Yes, Miss, I will take good care of Mr. Chen."
Chen Yunfei was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Youxiang to pull such a move. He bared his teeth at Youxiang in dissatisfaction, and let out a low growl.
Wasn't it supposed to be for him?
Why did you take it again?
Little Pomelo is a liar!
Seeing this, Youxiang slapped Chen Yunfei on the head without hesitation. "I'm the boss of the base now. Everyone in the base has to obey my orders. How dare you disrespect me like this, Brother Chen? If it were anyone else or a zombie, I would have beaten them up long ago."
Chen Yunfei covered his head with both hands, looking at Youxiang with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
I don't remember Xiaoyouzi being like this. How come she's become so fierce now?
Qiao Yue watched Chen Yunfei's appearance from the side and found it quite amusing. She couldn't help but nudge Qiao Yan beside her and said with a smile, "Chen Yunfei is quite funny like this now, don't you think, sis?"
Qiao Yan then snapped out of her thoughts, nodded, and said, "Yes."
Qiao Yue tilted her head and looked at Qiao Yan, asking, "Sister, aren't you happy? Chen Yunfei is back."
A faint smile appeared on Qiao Yan's face as she said softly, "I'm not unhappy. It's a good thing he's back."
Even so, looking at Chen Yunfei, who was no longer a member of the human race, she still felt a pang of sadness.
He probably... doesn't want to become a zombie.
Yuka pulled a set of hairdressing tools from a cabinet and handed it to Bronson, her eyes full of curiosity. "Didn't you say you could cut hair? Let me see how good you really are."
Bronson smiled and took the tools. He first handed Chen Yunfei a Corpse Fruit and told him to eat it quietly. Then he began to use his technique on Chen Yunfei's head.
At first, Bronson's movements were a little clumsy, and the scissors stumbled a bit in his hair, but in just a short moment, his movements became skillful, as if the techniques he had learned from books had suddenly come to life and were being used flexibly in his hands.
A dozen minutes later, Chen Yunfei's previously messy hair became neat and handsome, and he looked much more energetic.
Qiao Yue's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed loudly, "Wow, that's awesome! Bronson, your skills are amazing! Can you give me a nice haircut too?"
After the apocalypse, there are no more barbershops, so most of the time people have to take care of their own hair or ask others for help.
Bronson bowed slightly. "It would be my pleasure to serve Miss Qiao Yue. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yue impatiently shooed Chen Yunfei away from his seat, plopped down in it herself, and waved her hands, saying, "Come on, give me a haircut quickly, I want the really fashionable kind."
Chen Yunfei, who had been driven away, stood there somewhat helplessly, his eyes filled with confusion, unsure of where to go.
Seeing this, Youxiang was about to ask Qin Zhuo to go and keep Chen Yunfei company when she saw Qiao Yan walk over and whisper something to Chen Yunfei.
Youxiang tugged at Qin Zhuo's sleeve and pointed towards Qiao Yan and Chen Yunfei, "Zhuozhuo, look over there."
Qin Zhuo smiled and gently turned Youxiang's head so that she was facing him. "Alright, stop looking. Let their affairs take their course. There's no use in us worrying about it."
Yu Xiang nodded as if she understood, and obediently replied, "Mhm."
Afterwards, Youxiang turned her attention back to Qiao Yue, watching Bronson busy with Qiao Yue's head, and felt a little envious.
Oh, she really wants to get her hair done again to make herself prettier.
She couldn't help but touch the hair Qin Zhuo had cut for her a few days ago, and the slightly uneven ends made her a little dissatisfied.
She turned to Qin Zhuo and said directly, "Zhuozhuo, the housekeeper is more capable than you; he cuts hair better than you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhuo put his arm around Youxiang's shoulder, a hint of threat in his eyes, and deliberately dragged out his voice as he asked, "Really?"
Yu Xiang didn't notice the strange look in Qin Zhuo's eyes and nodded innocently with a serious expression.
"Yes, really. Although Zhuozhuo, your haircutting skills are much better than others, you're still a bit behind the butler. The butler's work is clearly professional."
Qin Zhuo's smile vanished instantly, and he grabbed Youxiang's hand, saying, "We need to have a serious talk."
Yu Xiang looked completely bewildered, her eyes wide open, and countless question marks popped into her head.
Why does it feel like Zhuozhuo is angry?
