It's been a while since Xiao Shang cut her hair short. While it's not quite waist-length anymore, it's definitely not short either.
The hairstyle Chen Bing wanted to give her this time was very suitable for her current hair length. As for the name, I don't know what it is. I only know that it is a high ponytail in the back and a small tuft of bangs in the front that is called catfish whiskers.
A few minutes later, Chen Bing looked at the results of her work and couldn't help but let out a satisfied "Hmm~".
Looks great! No wonder my little Shang can pull off almost any hairstyle.
Take out your phone and take a few photos; isn't this the quintessential high school sweetheart?
Of course, Chen Bing didn't have a "white moonlight" during high school; if she did, it could only be Shang Yunmiao.
"Come on, give Grandpa a kiss."
After laughing and pushing away Chen Bing's face that was leaning in, Shang Yunmiao got off the sofa and ran off to the mirror to check her new hairstyle.
A short while later, Chen Bing saw the little girl return with her hands behind her back and a cheerful expression on her face.
"How was it? My cooking skills are pretty good, aren't they!"
"Yes, it looks good, it looks really good."
"Since you're so satisfied, shouldn't you pay the service fee?" Chen Bing approached Shang Yunmiao with a fawning expression, patting her shoulder with his large hands in a malicious manner.
"Is one hundred yuan enough?" As she said this, Shang Yunmiao reached into her pocket, seemingly ready to pay.
Although the hair-combing service is negligible compared to one hundred yuan, money is not what Chen Bing needs. How could a dignified Master Chen be such a perfunctory person?
The reason he combed Shang Yunmiao's hair was all for the gene owner's mission! Little Shang, don't you understand?
With a pained expression, Chen Bing stopped Shang Yunmiao from reaching into her pocket, looking at her with an expression that said, "How could you be so heartless?"
Seeing Chen Bing's funny antics, Shang Yunmiao couldn't help but laugh. Her silvery laughter reached Chen Bing's ears, making the shameless guy quite embarrassed.
Was my performance just now too over the top?
This thought lingered in Chen Bing's mind, but before he could explain his performance under its influence, the girl came up to him and gave him the real service fee.
Yes, the jelly is still as chewy and delicious as before.
A moment later, the sweet scent left Chen Bing's nostrils, and Chen Bing opened her eyes to look at Xiao Shang, who was blushing and staring at her.
Although her face was flushed, Shang Yunmiao didn't seem too shy.
"How about it? Is this service fee acceptable?"
"Please be sure to follow this standard from now on!" Chen Bing said solemnly, her tone leaving no room for argument.
Which girl would refuse such a sincere request from her lover? Shang Yunmiao certainly wouldn't. She replied in a slightly flippant tone, "Hmm~ Alright then, I'll appoint you as my personal hair-combing bodyguard from now on!"
Chen Bing readily agreed, and like a treacherous villain, offered a slanderous suggestion, saying that she could also braid other hairstyles and wondered if Shang Yunmiao would be interested in trying them.
Seeing that Shang Yunmiao's face had visibly reddened and her expression was no longer as mischievous and composed as before, Chen Bing smiled wickedly and took the initiative to try out new hairstyles for the girl.
They spent the whole morning playing a game of braiding hair. After lunch, they took a nap before getting back to studying for their exams. But that evening, an unexpected message interrupted their plans to continue studying.
"Is the lockdown lifted?"
"Hmm, it seems so." After replying, Chen Bing picked up the landline and called the hotel to confirm the situation, receiving an affirmative answer.
"Oh, it really is true. They said on the phone that the lockdown has been lifted."
It was visibly a transformation in Shang Yunmiao's face, which blossomed into a smile. Pinch her adorable cheeks and Chen Bing said with a smile, "What are you waiting for, little one? Don't you want to go home? Come on, pack your things, I'll take you back to Shangping."
"Oh, okay~" Shang Yunmiao replied cheerfully, as if waking from a dream, and then turned around to pack her things. But when she was halfway there, she seemed to remember something and turned back, saying, "It's almost seven o'clock, are there any round-trip tickets left, Chen Bing?"
Walking up to her and patting her on the shoulder, Chen Bing turned Xiao Shang toward the bedroom and replied, "Just have the hotel provide a car. It's my dad's business anyway. I'll drive you home on the highway tonight. We should be home by 10 p.m. at the latest. Hurry up, baby."
(Both are currently 21 years old and in their junior or senior summer break.)
Things developed rather suddenly. Xiao Shang, who was talking about wanting to go home in the morning, never expected that she would be home just a few hours later.
She was initially considering whether to wait until the next morning to set off, but the thought of homesickness and Chen Bing's encouragement finally made her overcome her hesitation, and she happily went to pack her things.
Chen Bing glanced at Shang Yunmiao, who was skipping and hopping as she packed her things, smiled faintly, and then left the room to ask the hotel manager for a car.
Because it was her own hotel, there were no major issues, and Chen Bing simply took the keys to a Buick GL8.
When they returned to the room, Shang Yunmiao had already packed their things and was standing at the door waiting for Chen Bing.
"Is everything packed?"
"Mmm!" After taking two steps forward and hugging Chen Bing, Shang Yunmiao looked up and asked, "Are you leaving already? Don't you need to rest for another night and leave tomorrow?"
Looking at Shang Yunmiao's big, blinking eyes, Chen Bing couldn't help but lower her head and bite her. Then she pinched the little girl's cheek and replied, "Silly girl, you've packed everything and are going home to sleep. Come on, come on, or I'll do you tonight."
Although Chen Bing casually mentioned something quite remarkable, Shang Yunmiao seemed to selectively ignore it. She simply nodded "uh-huh," offered no further opinions, and directly took Chen Bing's hand, intending to go home with him.
"My luggage, I haven't taken my luggage yet."
"oh oh!"
Watching Shang Yunmiao's flustered little steps, Chen Bing smiled indulgently at his girl once again.
Not long after, Chen Bing drove his Buick GL8 away from Jinan city.
Looking back at the bustling streets that were gradually receding from her, Shang Yunmiao said to Chen Bing with emotion, "We're actually going home. It feels so fast, so unbelievable."
"What's wrong? Let's go home. By the way, do you have any Liuliumei plums in your bag? Feed me two, I want to eat your little hands."
