Early in the morning, Xiao He woke up one minute earlier than his alarm clock.
As he walked disheveled toward the bathroom, a door on one side opened, and the two met face to face across the hallway.
"So early?" Wang Xuefeng asked in surprise as he opened the door.
Xiao He glanced at their room and was surprised to find that Huo Lei, who was usually a heavy sleeper, had left earlier, and the blankets on the bed were neatly folded.
"I wasn't sleepy; I switched to another app in the middle of the night to look up some information," Xiao He said.
"Oh? What documents?" Wang Xuefeng asked as he closed the door and followed him into the restroom.
In front of the bathroom mirror, the two of them were brushing their teeth rapidly, one on each side.
"These are materials for a part-time job," Xiao He explained.
"What part-time job?" Wang Xuefeng suddenly remembered something: "You went for an interview at Omega?"
"Yes." Xiao He did not deny it.
Although I always felt something was off, now that I've signed a part-time contract, I can't hide it no matter what.
After all, once the magazine photos are released, you can't just say they're photoshopped.
"That's wonderful!" Wang Xuefeng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "I'll have Angrina give me a ride later, I'll travel with you!"
"Where are you going?" Xiao He asked.
Wang Xuefeng quickly rinsed the foam from his mouth, then pulled the blindfold up to his forehead and washed his face with the tap before Xiao He could.
"I also have a part-time job."
Upon hearing this, Xiao He stared at him blankly.
"Don't say you're the same as me."
"Same as you."
"Depend on."
Wang Xuefeng shook the water off his face before handing him the tap, then turned around and picked up the hairdryer from the shelf, whistling as he dried his hair.
Xiao He finally understood that this guy just wanted to hitch a ride.
Getting from the 18th Ring Road to the city center takes a long time and the transportation costs are considerable.
"Considering we're all poor, the airfare is 85% off," Xiao He said emotionlessly.
"Take it on credit, take it on credit for now." Wang Xuefeng waved his hand dismissively.
Xiao He put down the towel in an annoyed tone, but his hand, which was about to pick up the comb, froze.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xuefeng asked casually, noticing his movement.
Is Lele still at home?
"I don't know, why don't you just call out?"
Xiao He thought for a moment, then reluctantly gave up: "Never mind, I dare not."
Wang Xuefeng chuckled. Even the older women near the studio knew about Dai Lele's morning grumpiness; no one dared to disturb her.
"What? You're looking for Lele so early in the morning? Uh, you? You wouldn't happen to... not know how to comb your hair, would you?!"
Wang Xuefeng suddenly burst into laughter, like a pig being slaughtered.
Xiao He didn't want to speak, and silently browsed the system store quickly.
"How about I throw a grenade and give you a stylish afro?" Wang Xuefeng loved to finish off his enemies. Since he couldn't help anyway, he figured it was more meaningful to kick someone when they were down.
"Damn it! No Netherworld Coins!" Xiao He angrily shut down the shop.
"Then forget it! Who cares! I'll just comb it however I want."
Wang Xuefeng turned off the hairdryer, grabbed a comb, and started grooming him: "Hurry up, don't be late on the first day, or you'll get docked pay!"
Xiao He was utterly despondent. If he hadn't thought the hair was actually quite nice, he would have cut it off in a heartbeat.
"You, you're reluctant to cut your hair, you want to look good but don't want to take care of it, what kind of girl is like this!" Wang Xuefeng said, grumbling as she combed her hair, as if she had a lot of nasty things to say.
"Maintaining a fixed account appearance is a basic requirement for account boosting," Xiao He retorted. As for the last sentence, it was pointless to argue about it.
Wang Xuefeng, who is 1.89 meters tall, had to squat down. He noticed that Xiao He's hair was indeed growing very fast; it didn't seem to be this long even yesterday.
"Hey, don't you find that strange?"
"What's strange?"
"Your hair looks like it has a life of its own."
"It's alive?" Xiao He was stunned.
"Hmm." Wang Xuefeng picked out a hair from the top of his head, wrapped it around his finger a few times, and then snapped it off with lightning speed.
"hiss------"
"See! I wasn't wrong, was I?! It's grown!"
Wang Xuefeng exclaimed as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Long my ass..."
Without saying a word, Xiao He kicked him out and then closed the door behind him.
There was a full-length mirror behind the door, from which you could clearly see the length of your hair.
If Wang Xuefeng hadn't mentioned it, Xiao He wouldn't have even noticed how incredibly resilient the hair was.
"Is it related to ability?"
For some reason, Xiao He thought of the mysterious person who had saved him in the school dormitory area, who also had long hair that reached the ground.
However, his was a bright silver, while mine was a slightly pale gold.
"What a coincidence! It seems we both have a dragon? The Lord of Ice..."
"We can ask him when we catch him later; maybe he has some clues."
Xiao He touched the top of his head, pressed down the stray hair that Wang Xuefeng had messed up, and that was it—he was done tidying up.
-
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Downtown, Omega Tower.
Angrina's figure was clearly visible in the air.
As soon as Jinling stepped out of the luxury car, she looked up and saw two "familiar faces".
"Xiao He!" Jin Ling waved happily, "I'm here!"
Angelina changed direction, and Xiao He leaped lightly in mid-air, landing perfectly in front of Jinling.
"What a coincidence? You're here too? Are you a guest invited to the ceremony?" Jinling stepped forward and took his hand, asking.
"No." Xiao He shook his head, not wanting to push her away.
Wang Xuefeng waited until the Angelina came to a complete stop before gracefully stepping off, but he didn't go anywhere, quietly waiting beside Xiao He.
