Chapter 45: Breaking them up Almost at the first sight, she was ge...
Almost at the first glance, she understood why they were screaming and making a commotion.
The person walking slowly in from the back door is Xie Shi - a man whose appearance has been unsealed and who exudes the aura of a male protagonist from all angles.
He actually...
Get your hair cut.
The long and messy hair that she had secretly complained about in her heart was finally trimmed. The bangs that almost covered her eyes and the wolf tail covering her slender neck were obviously cut shorter, and the hair on both sides of her ears was also trimmed very tastefully, neatly, fluffy and stylish.
It was just a haircut, but it was like a treasure box with its seal torn open, revealing a pair of captivating eyes.
His new hairstyle itself is nothing special, it's just a pretty common hairstyle for young boys.
What is special is that extremely superior face, with a smooth forehead, deep eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a clear jawline. Without deliberate concealment, all the advantages are spread out in the sunlight, making him handsome and casual.
This man had always been nowhere to be found, with long, messy hair. He hardly ever interacted with anyone, and everyone only had a fixed and vague impression of his face. They only knew that he was actually good-looking, but no one had ever looked at him closely and boldly.
Now, this face was completely exposed without any defense.
It was not until this moment that they realized that this face was far more impactful than they had imagined.
At that moment, almost everyone couldn't help but stare at him, surprised, stunned, excited...even the fear was thrown behind their minds.
Everyone's eyes widened. Several girls exchanged a startling glance, their thoughts racing—could that weirdo actually look like this? If he'd dealt with it earlier, the rumors about him would have gotten even more bizarre, his temper even more bizarre, and there would have been a surge of people flocking to him...
Lin Xicai was one of the few people who had truly assessed his true appearance up close, so she was not much calmer than them at the moment. She had imagined what he would look like after cutting his hair, but the impact of the real thing was far greater than her imagination, and she was still shocked.
While she was stunned, Xie Shi was already standing beside her with a backpack.
Lin Xicai stood up a little late, and for the first time, in front of the envious eyes of her sisters, she let her classmate, whose beauty had been unsealed, in.
The girls around her stared at her seat intentionally or unintentionally, with eager eyes and regretful expressions. Lin Xicai wanted to laugh a little, thinking to herself, when he was a Shamatte, you didn't want anyone and pushed it to me. Now he has become a handsome guy and you are staring at him. How can it be such a good thing? Just take a look at him quickly, don't even think about asking her to give up this seat.
He had only just had his hair cut, but the commotion he caused was almost the same as if he hadn't worn any clothes. With eyes gazing at him one after another, Xie Shi sat down in his seat, as calm as ever, not even raising his eyelids.
Lin Xicai watched him sit down, staring at him for a while, feeling that she should say something. In fact, she wanted to care more about his mood and his recent life, but she couldn't say these questions.
She paused for a few seconds, "Nothing happened the day before yesterday, how come... it happened twice again?"
Not sure if it was his illusion, but after Lin Xicai asked this question, Xie Shi pursed his lips and his expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
Lin Xicai stared at him with interest and half-jokingly said, "It was my turn to be on duty the day before yesterday, and you made me clean the blackboard for three consecutive days."
"I'll wipe it back for you." Xie Shi said.
"So..." Lin Xicai moved closer and lowered her voice, "What happened? Do you need my help?"
A rare expression of embarrassment crossed his handsome face. He frowned, and his voice was deliberately cold. "Nothing."
Lin Xicai didn't ask any further questions, but just smiled at him and said, "This hairstyle suits you very well."
Xie Shi packed his things slowly. Hearing this, he paused slightly and hummed lightly.
Is it suitable?
It must be suitable.
I went through the trouble of cutting my hair three times, how could it not be suitable?
The decision to cut his hair was a bit puzzling. He hadn't cared about his face for a long time, but one rainy day, on the eve of returning to school, he walked into a barber shop after a long time.
It was a well-known chain store that was not small. As soon as Xie Shiyi entered, he was greeted by a barber named Tony, who looked very gentle with chestnut brown hair.
The barber came over with a smile on his face, but when he got close, he was startled by the gloomy aura that oozed from him. Even his professional fake smile became unnatural. "Hello, can you...cut my hair?"
"Um."
The barber was frightened by his temperament and looked at him secretly. When he saw his angular, deep and gorgeous face from a close distance, he was stunned.
This good skill also depends on luck. It was the first time I met such a great customer, and I couldn't help but feel itchy and eager to try.
"Here, sit here," the barber guided him to a seat, "What kind of haircut would you like, handsome man?"
Xie Shi's gaze fell lightly on the mirror in front of him, and he pursed his lips and said two words bluntly, "Handsome."
“…”
This requirement was too abstract. The barber looked at his messy hair through the mirror and thought to himself, with such hair, how could he cut his hair to look unattractive? With this hairstyle, he would look unattractive if he changed his face.
The barber took out a hairstyle book, flipped through it, and finally recommended two hairstyles. "These are the most fashionable ones now. They will definitely suit you."
Xie Shi looked at them for a while, hesitated for a moment, and pointed at one of them.
The barber hadn't met such an idealized model in a long time. He sharpened his knife and wielded his scissors meticulously, cutting every strand of hair as if he were doing art.
It was a very long process, so long that Xie Shi almost lost his patience. It was not until the rain stopped outside that the barber was satisfied and finished his work.
The barber stared at his masterpiece, tears welling up in his eyes, feeling that this face was born for this hairstyle. The barber subconsciously wanted to take a photo as a living signboard, but Xie Shi gave him a cold glance and he retracted the action.
The barber himself was very satisfied, but the gloomy customer stared at the mirror in front of him and suddenly frowned.
The barber's heart skipped a beat, but fortunately the other party just frowned and said nothing, and quickly left the barber shop.
No one can walk out of the barber shop with a smile.
Even Xie Shi, who has lived in this world for so long.
When I got home and looked in the mirror, the more I looked, the more I looked like a gigolo.
But compared to others, he has the opportunity to regret.
So, the next day, at the same time and place, Xie Shi visited the barber shop again.
——It was the first time he used this ability, or bug, in such a place, and when he realized it, he himself felt awkward.
He thought it was a problem with his hairstyle, so this time when the barber took out two hairstyle pictures like last time, he chose the other one without thinking.
The barber worked meticulously, and then there was another long wait.
Finally, Xie Shi stared at the hair that was even more artificial than the first time, and frowned even tighter than before.
At this point, he had to admit that it wasn't the hairstyle that was the problem, it was the barber's. The hairstyle looked quite casual, but once it passed through the barber's hands, it changed, and there was a cumbersome sense of artificial refinement everywhere.
It can’t be said that it’s not good-looking, but Xie Shi has a hunch that the person won’t like it.
By the third time, Xie Shi gave up on himself and went straight to a husband-and-wife hair salon near the community.
After Xie Shi went in, the hairdresser asked the child what he wanted. The child didn't even dare to say the word "handsome" and just said "cut it short".
The lady cutting the hair was also very quick. She started cutting with her scissors and finished in less than fifteen minutes, as if she was in a hurry.
The cut hair was fluffy, refreshing, neat and stylish. Xie Shi looked in the mirror and found that it surprisingly suited him very well.
This suitability was not because he thought it was so handsome - in fact, he had no concept of beauty or ugliness, but he just thought that this was the kind of look she would like.
Looks sunny, fresh and youthful.
She would probably prefer to sit at the same table with such a person, and she would probably prefer to make friends with such a person.
If she were to walk with someone like this, she wouldn't be criticized by others. She didn't care, but he did.
She knew clearly what his previous image was like: a dark, cold, evil freak. She could accept him even like that, so now that he has changed into a normal face, will he please her more?
He was eager to get her attention back, he was eager to get her attention back from another madman.
These days, he hid in the dark, like a powerless ghost, watching her act in front of that man in all kinds of ways, cunning, naughty, smart, clever and scheming. His soul trembled at her every frown and smile, anger and resentment, and he was angry that those expressions and actions were not directed at him.
He had never seen such lively malice, such vivid truth.
The person who brought out this side of her was actually that rotten guy, that lunatic.
This, just thinking about it, drives me crazy.
He wanted her to leave. In order to make her leave quickly, he would rather not provoke her, for fear of wasting a minute of her time - but if all the time he was reluctant to waste was wasted by her on another person, he would really go crazy!
What is this?
Why does he have the right? That person who is worse than him, why does he have the right?
She seemed to hate him, but she gave him all her attention. She even accompanied him to the movies, took medicine with him, and cooked wontons for him... He brought her breakfast and fed her mouthful by mouthful, but she turned around and cooked wontons for others. He thought she was crazy.
Xie Shi stared straight at Lin Xicai, his deep eyes filled with a complex and heavy expression. He looked at her, his expression flickering with strangeness and restraint. Lin Xicai sat obediently beside him, feeling her back numb from the stare. She did nothing but felt guilty being stared at.
She turned her head and tried her best to ignore the strange sense of guilt. "What's wrong?"
Xie Shi's eyes never left her. He spoke, his tone in stark contrast to the calmness of his gaze, "Let's have lunch together at noon."
Lin Xicai was a little surprised that he would actually take the initiative to invite her out, but she didn't refuse and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Xie Shi's Adam's apple moved, gently concealing the overly complicated emotions in his eyes, and hiding the jealousy and paranoia that could scare people.
Things had not yet reached the point of no return, and he did not want to scare her, so his expression and tone were indifferent, but no one knew what he was suppressing in his heart.
He would help her leave, he would send her away, but every minute and every second before she left would be his, would be his.
Who the hell is Li Ci? He dares to touch things that he is reluctant to touch.
The initial mood of watching the play had long since disappeared, and the kind of amusement of watching the excitement had long since rotted and turned into heart-wrenching jealousy and anger - Xie Shi realized belatedly that from the first second the play began, he had been forced into the game, and his position in this play had never been that of a spectator.
No audience would be so eager for the heroine's gaze, and no audience would be so jealous of the hero that they would want to kill him and take his place.
He was the one who started the play, but it got out of control and he couldn't accept it.
He had to break them up, he had to tear down this drama, he had to find a way to make sure they never met again.
