The father and his two sons almost couldn't sit still on the sofa.
Villagers shave their heads to make washing their hair easier and work more convenient. But if three company CEOs all got buzz cuts at the same time, how many rumors would spread in their internal group chat?
Besides, how could her hairdressing skills compare to those of a top hairstylist?
Jiang Hexi neatly arranged the hairdressing tools on the coffee table, looked up and asked them:
"Which of you three wants to go first?"
Jiang Wenze and Jiang Wenjing wisely shut their mouths and turned to look at their father, lest they say something wrong and get another beating from him.
Mr. Jiang was known in Hong Kong's entertainment circle for doting on his daughter, but both daughters were equally precious. After much deliberation, he finally chose to give up his beloved daughter, saying:
“Aze, you’re the older brother, you should be responsible for your actions. Let your sister cut your hair.”
Jiang Wenze suddenly stood up from the sofa and said with an imposing air:
"Dad, what did you say?"
"It's not like I'm asking you to cut your hair or chop off your head, what are you so afraid of?"
Seeing that the two sides were arguing heatedly, and that the time was ripe, Jiang Hexi seized the opportunity to bring it up:
"Dad, if my eldest brother doesn't want to, let's not force him."
"My sister comes back every two weeks and kindly cuts his hair. What could he possibly object to?"
"Dad, if all else fails, I'll go to Master Fang's barbershop and learn his skills for a few days, so I can practice properly."
Jiang Wenze sat down on the sofa as if he had been granted a pardon, his expression softening slightly. He gently encouraged her, saying:
"Little sister, your big brother supports you going to the barbershop to learn from Master Fang. That way you will make great progress."
Jiang Hexi thought for a moment and then said, "Master Fang cuts hair for customers at night. If it's too late and inconvenient for him to come back, I just stay in that apartment in Linxi."
Jiang Wenjing didn't want to see her at home every day, otherwise what if she suddenly got the urge to cut his hair again?
"When you're busy over there, just remember to call home and let us know. I'll have someone come and clean your apartment later."
Encouraged by her two older brothers, Jiang Hexi packed away her hairdressing tools one by one into her tool bag, and relented:
"I'll listen to you."
After Jiang Hexi had settled everything, she went to the barbershop the next day with her hands full of gift boxes to learn the trade from Master Fang.
Master Fang was quite helpless about her arrival.
He never intended to take her as his apprentice, but after the variety show aired, the entire population of Shenzhen and Hong Kong knew that she was his apprentice.
In order to preserve his reputation in his later years, he made an exception and taught her how to cut a buzz cut and how to curl her hair.
After studying diligently for a day, Jiang Hexi started looking for ways to ask for leave and go on dates.
“Master, my boyfriend came to Shenzhen and Hong Kong to find me to date.”
"when?"
"current."
Master Fang put down the scissors in his hand and said to her, "You can't do it like this, fishing for three days and drying the nets for two."
Jiang Hexi said unhurriedly, "I arranged to meet him at the barbershop. If you don't agree, he can only watch me get his hair cut."
Forced into a corner, Master Fang laughed angrily, "I'm not your light bulb. If you want to have fun, go elsewhere. Don't get in my way here."
Jiang Hexi continued to plead with him, "My family doesn't know about my relationship with him, can you help me keep it a secret?"
Master Fang: "What are you hiding?"
“The boss forbids us from dating,” Jiang Hexi frankly said, “but I really like him.”
Yan Jie pushed open the glass door, lowered his head, and walked into the small barbershop, just in time to hear what she said.
The hot wind rushing in from outside ruffled the beaded curtain, making a crisp, tinkling sound.
Master Fang looked at Yan Jie standing at the door and said:
"Is this your boyfriend?"
"Yes, Master, I'm going now."
Master Fang watched as she clung to that man's arm, chattering incessantly. He shook his head helplessly. His apprentice had been kidnapped; how could he possibly come back?
Jiang Hexi walked out of the barbershop arm in arm with Yan Jie.
The two wandered aimlessly through the streets.
"I have a gift for you."
"What?"
Yan Jie glanced down at her as she rummaged through her bag. He saw her reach out and put a baseball cap on his head, then stand on tiptoe and put a black mask over his ears, covering him completely.
"Jiang Hexi, are you trying to suffocate me?"
"Don't move, you'll look cool wearing this."
Jiang Hexi placed a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. After confirming his identity with her eyes several times, even she couldn't recognize him as Yan Jie, let alone anyone else.
Yan Jie asked knowingly, "What are you doing?"
"When we pass through the square in a little while, it will be packed with people. I'm afraid people will recognize you."
"Let's not go to the square, let's go into a secluded alley."
Seeing that he was about to take off his glasses, Jiang Hexi immediately put her arm around his and stopped him, saying:
"Didn't you ask me to go to the movies? The only movie theater around here is near the square."
"Who said I wanted to go to the movies with you?"
"Then where should we go to see it?"
Yan Jie put his arm around her shoulder and led her forward: "Let's go to my house, and I'll take you to a private cinema to watch a movie."
The two arrived together at Central Garden in the Shenzhen-Hong Kong CBD and took the elevator directly to the top floor.
Yan Jie unlocked the door with his fingerprint and led Jiang Hexi into the large apartment.
"This large, single-level apartment has a great location, making it convenient for me to stay here when I come to work. It's the only building in the whole complex with a wide view, facing south, and right in front of the balcony is a whole large garden. Do you like it?"
