Chapter 59 Is this a case of throwing a tantrum? ...
After returning home, Tao Siyun only rested for half a day. The next day, he went shopping with Qin Shu, and then went to a beauty salon for skin care in the afternoon. On the third day, he accompanied his mother and aunt to a Korean hair salon to perm their hair.
Tao Qi had a lot of trouble getting an appointment at this shop through an acquaintance. It is said that the owner and the shop's stylist Tony, who looks all Korean, had just returned from Korea for further studies and their aesthetics are very advanced.
How should I put it? Tao Siyun thinks it's a bit too exaggerated...
"Miss, do you want to blow dry your hair directly? Do you want to change your hairstyle?" The deputy store manager, whose name tag read Andy Chen, asked her with a smile.
"Ah? No need, just blow dry it..."
However, Teacher Tony seemed not to have heard Tao Siyun's words at this time. He stared at her face and eyes, and his two eager hands gently played with her hair, and made some subtle adjustments from time to time according to the ideas in his mind.
That look was like an artist looking at a piece of raw, fine material...
It makes people feel inexplicably nervous.
Tao Siyun sat there not daring to move, fearing that Tony, named Andy Chen, would suddenly pull out a pair of scissors from his pocket and cut her hair without even saying hello.
"Hmm... your face shape is just too perfect. Trust me, you can pull off any style with ease. Long, straight black hair is beautiful and suits you well, but I guarantee you'll look stunning with any other hairstyle." The assistant manager winked at Tao Siyun in the mirror. "Are you sure you don't want to consider dyeing your hair and getting French bangs? It's super popular in Korea lately, and many idols and celebrities love it."
"...Really, no need." Tao Siyun had always cherished her hair, and usually went to the barber shop for just the usual maintenance. So, despite Tony's eloquent words, she refused to be fooled by his sweet talk and politely declined again: "Just blow-dry it, thank you."
Seeing this, Tony Chen had no choice but to say "OK~" with regret, and then turned on the hair dryer.
…
After blow-drying his hair, Tao Siyun had nothing to do, so his eyes fell on the bars that Teacher Tony had just tied around Qin Shu's head.
"An An," Aunt Chen Qin said to her with a smile, flipping through the hair dyeing album in her hand while discussing with the hairdresser what color to dye her hair, "Isn't it boring to accompany me and your mother to perm your hair?"
"It's okay, a little bit."
"There's a new Cantonese restaurant near Henghui Plaza. Tao Yu went there with his colleagues from the department last week and they said it was delicious. How about Auntie treat you to dinner tomorrow night?"
Tao Siyun is the only girl in the family. Her birth led to the birth of two sons in a row. Chen Qin, who was eager to have a daughter, especially doted on this niece.
"Okay!" Tao Siyun asked, mentioning Tao Yu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, "What about my second brother and second sister-in-law? Do they have to work overtime tomorrow night?"
"That's right. They both work in the hospital, upstairs and downstairs, so we don't necessarily get to see each other every day. I haven't seen them for a long time." Chen Qin sighed deeply, "I don't know if I can go home for New Year's Eve dinner."
"Didn't Uncle say that the hospital rotates duty every year? They were on duty last year, so they shouldn't be on duty this year, right?"
"Who knows? It's hard to say right now. Last time, your second sister-in-law finally came home. Before she could even eat two bites of food, she received a call from the hospital and was sent away again."
Tao Yu and his wife, Tang Xin, are both dedicated doctors who save lives. They both spent eight years studying for their undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degrees in medicine. They dated on campus for seven years and married last year. Currently, one works in the emergency room, the other in pediatrics. Their daily schedules are incredibly busy, and they rarely see each other. Tao Siyun, who returned to Beijing for Tao Qian's birthday, didn't even see them.
"Yesterday, your uncle had surgery all day. When he came back, he fell asleep immediately. He was snoring loudly within two minutes. I couldn't sleep well all night." Chen Qin shook her head helplessly and turned to ask Qin Shu: "By the way, sister-in-law, last time I told you that I wanted Xiao Qian to meet that girl during the New Year. Have you discussed this with your eldest brother? What is Xiao Qian's attitude?"
Qin Shu now gets a headache whenever Tao Qian's lifelong affairs are mentioned. "You don't even know him yet. If everyone were as worry-free as Xiao Yu, I wouldn't have to worry so much." Qin Shu turned around and said, "An An, your aunt and I will still have to perm your hair for several hours. If you're bored and don't want to wait, how about I call your dad and ask him to pick you up?"
"No need. Didn't Dad have a work discussion with Uncle Nie today? It's okay. I can wait." Tao Siyun wanted to listen to them for a while longer and give Tao Qian some news in advance so that he would have time to prepare himself mentally.
However, this hair salon provides excellent service to VIP customers. Upon hearing their conversation, the manager immediately and considerately said that he had prepared afternoon tea and asked Tao Siyun to go to the rest area on the first floor to have some snacks.
"Go ahead, go down and rest for a while."
"Okay then..." Qin Shu said this, and out of courtesy, Tao Siyun had to go downstairs.
…
The first floor of this Korean hair salon is divided into two areas, the work area and the rest area.
The lounge area is simply partitioned off by a hollow, semi-enclosed, wavy metal screen, housing a modular sofa and a minimalist oval lacquered coffee table. Two walls are painted a light green and feature built-in bookcases, stocked with fashion magazines and books on how to improve your aesthetic taste.
It looks like a reading corner with very bourgeois decoration.
A few minutes after Tao Siyun sat down, another customer came into the store.
The apprentice in the store quickly stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, do you have any reservations?"
Duan Jingyi pushed open the glass door and pointed at the increasingly plump figure behind him, the unjustly large-headed squad leader, Li Zetao, whose forehead was emblazoned with the words "wealthy and powerful," and said nonchalantly, "I've made an appointment with the two most expensive Tony teachers in your store, Stephen and Kevin."
“…”
"Okay, please come in and wait a moment."
At this time, Tao Siyun, who was holding a mobile phone in one hand and a small bite of macaron in the other, heard the sound, subconsciously looked over there, and then prepared to continue playing Candy Crush.
However, she only had time to retract half of her gaze before she suddenly felt something, her hand stopped in the air, and she turned her head to look over again.
The unignorable gaze at the door was not concealed at all, and it came straight towards her, freezing her in place.
The two looked at each other from a distance.
Tao Siyun was obviously very surprised when he saw Xu Ji and was stunned for several seconds.
Didn’t you say that we’ll have holiday next week?
Why did he suddenly come to Beijing?
After Xu Ji entered the room, he walked straight to the opposite side of her and sat down on the single sofa very comfortably.
"Hey, Old Xu?" Li Zetao was slumped in the barber chair in the work area like an old man. Seeing that Xu Ji hadn't come over yet, he turned his head, but didn't see anyone. At Tony's prompting, he turned his head to the other side and asked him through the slit in the screen with squinted eyes: "What are you doing sitting there? Don't you want to get a haircut?"
Xu Ji leaned against the back of the sofa with his legs crossed, completely ignoring the gazes that were cast towards him from a few meters away. He stared at Tao Siyun expressionlessly for a few seconds. After a moment's silence, he said to Li Zetao who was looking forward to it, "It's not me getting married."
“…”
Tao Siyun didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to hear another meaning from his calm tone.
In short, there was a hint of anger in his words.
It was as if he was not answering someone else, but talking to himself.
Is this a case of throwing a tantrum?
The macarons were so sweet that Tao Siyun couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth. He didn't know whether to continue eating or put it down and drink some tea first...
"Oh." Li Zetao rubbed his neck, turned his head back, and patted his round belly. "That's true. I can't make you too handsome. After all, my wife has three cousins, one of whom is not yet an adult. It's good enough that she can let you attend the wedding."
In this regard, both Chen Feng and Xu Chen expressed their understanding.
"Oh my god! So this is why your wife won't let Xu Ji be your best man?" Duan Jingyi couldn't stand it any longer and said bitterly, "Are we handsome guys destined to be isolated?!"
Xu Chen gave him a look of disdain: "Are you handsome? Don't force yourself on me."
Tao Siyun: "..."
Xu Ji had a cold face since he sat down and ignored her.
Tao Siyun blinked, not knowing what he meant.
It seems that she didn't recruit him?
Why do you have that expression?
The two people in the rest area stared at each other.
Tao Siyun put the macarons in his hand on the plate, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
At this time, the legendary most expensive teacher, Stephen, walked to the work area with a sissy step and asked softly, "Hello handsome, what kind of hairstyle would you like?"
Duan Jingyi shrugged uncomfortably, sat up straight, and subtly shook the hand that was resting on his shoulder. His earlier frivolous demeanor was gone. He cleared his throat, his voice rising an octave: "Do whatever makes you look cool. Don't be too feminine. Be more masculine. Try to be more of a hunk."
Tony: “…”
Tao Siyun lowered his head and smiled secretly.
Xu Ji finally couldn't help it, took the initiative to pay attention to her, and stretched out his foot to gently kick her shoes.
Tao Siyun retracted his legs, moved to the side, sat in a position where he couldn't be kicked, and then pointed at his mobile phone.
Xu Ji immediately understood, and the two of them started chatting on WeChat face to face.
Tao Siyun: [Are they your friends? ]
Xu Ji glanced at her and replied concisely: [Yes, roommate, university classmate]
Tao Siyun: [Oh, when did you come to Beijing? ]
Xu Ji: [Morning]
Tao Siyun didn't wait for him to ask before she took the initiative to explain why she was there: "I came here with my mom and aunt to get my hair permed."
The two looked up and looked at each other.
Xu Ji asked: [How long will you wait? ]
Tao Siyun stretched out his hand and made the number three, then thought for a moment and added another finger.
It would be at least six o'clock by the time Qin Shu and the others finished perming their hair.
Qin Shu sent her a WeChat message.
Tao Siyun pointed upstairs: "Then I'll go up first."
Xu Ji curled the corners of his mouth and silently mouthed something to her.
Tao Siyun saw that the two words he said were "go".
