After all, he was Tony Yan back then. Yan Han felt that although he had no other skills, haircutting was not a difficult job for him.
Lin Jianlu also believed him, so after lunch, the two of them got in the car of the driver who hurried over to send someone off and drove to the barber shop that Lin Jianlu usually went to.
That barber shop is ranked among the top 10 in the city, so of course the prices are not cheap. The craftsmen inside are said to be good, and the manager is a returned student from abroad. Lin Jianlu's hair has always been cut by him, and it seems that he does a good job. But compared to this, Yan Han has always been curious: "So even your hair can't be touched, how have you been through all these years?"
Lin Jianlu answered him with one word: "Endure."
"Then have you ever thought about shaving your head or having a buzz cut? Those are quick, but your hairstyle would take at least half an hour to cut once, right?"
"I always had a buzz cut before." Lin Jianlu said expressionlessly, "but don't you think I look more handsome this way?"
"..."
Yan Han was speechless. He had just seen an old photo of Lin Jianlu in his study, and he wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't said it. Now that he thinks about it, Big Brother Lin did have a buzz cut at that time.
In fact, a buzz cut is also very handsome. People like Lin Jianlu don't need a hairstyle to complement it.
A buzz cut makes him look more masculine and resolute. In that photo, he still looks like a junior high school student, with a rather immature face. If he shaved his head now, he would definitely look very handsome.
But he never expected that Big Brother Lin would be so coquettish. He would even endure the discomfort just to look handsome... He doesn't look like that at ordinary times.
Didn't he say that he only recently got used to the occasional contact when playing basketball?
Getting a haircut is something that involves being touched all the time... No wonder everyone has a desire for beauty. Brother Lin would go all out for beauty.
But soon, Lin Jianlu said, "I just want to make some changes."
That's why he forced himself on this matter.
"Isn't there a word called starting over again?"
"This word... doesn't seem to mean that?"
"I just don't want to live alone in isolation all the time."
"...The good news is that you met me."
For some reason, he felt that there was a hint of ambiguous sadness in Lin Jianlu's last sentence. Yan Han scratched his ears and cheeks in the car, and finally said, "Hasn't your condition improved recently? So it will be fine slowly. Humans are social animals. You will not become a solitary person."
"Yeah." Lin Jianlu looked at him with a smile.
"And you have to adjust quickly. I can only cut your hair, and there's nothing else I can do. What if you get sick and need to see a doctor? And you can't be touched by others, so you can't get a massage or a bath. And, what about you getting married in the future?"
As he spoke, Yan Han naturally began to worry about Lin Jianlu again.
In the past, the eldest brother was always worried about his friends, but there was nothing he could do. This was his fate.
He kept talking all the way, and the car drove smoothly into the city and arrived at the door of the barber shop that Lin Jianlu usually went to.
The store manager heard that he would come today, and waited in the store all day. When he saw Lin Jianlu walk in, he hurried to greet him and said warmly: "Hey, Master Lin, long time no see!"
Then he saw Yan Han who walked in with Lin Jianlu, his eyes lit up immediately, and said: "This... is your friend? Also here to get a haircut?"
Forgive him, after looking for a long time, he couldn't tell whether this person was a boy or a girl.
Yan Han: "..."
The weather today is very hot, but in order to restore his masculinity, he still borrowed a set of clothes from Lin Jianlu, and then went out in the scorching heat.
Even though Lin Jianlu is thin, he is so tall that the smallest size of clothes is 1.85 meters. What's more, Yan Han is so thin that he is almost skin and bones. He can't hold up his clothes at all, so no clothes are suitable for him.
But the desire to wear men's clothes and discard all the clothes in the dressing room was too strong, so the eldest brother wore Lin Jianlu's T-shirt and trousers, and tied Lin Jianlu's belt and went out.
But the short T-shirt was also too big for Yan Han, and it looked like a skirt if he didn't care, so Yan Han had no choice but to tuck the hem of the T-shirt into his pants. The whole outfit was neat and tidy, but it looked particularly neutral with his face. Even the sharp-eyed and well-read store manager couldn't tell for a moment.
"He's not." Lin Jianlu said politely: "This time I came here mainly to borrow your tools."
The store manager: "?"
Yes, that's right, if the Lin family had professional haircut scissors, they wouldn't have to come here deliberately, Yan Han could just cut him in the house.
However, after being questioned by Auntie Tian, they decided to show off their skills to Brother Dalin for the first time, and they happened to send him back to school, so they finally decided to come here to borrow some equipment.
"The fee will be recorded as a normal haircut." Lin Jianlu explained seriously, "If it's convenient, you can sell me a set of scissors."
"Ah...haha, is this the one who cuts your hair?" The store manager finally realized what was going on. He immediately looked at Yan Han. After receiving Lin Jianlu's affirmative answer, he only had one feeling -
no matter what the young man's identity is, the relationship between them must be unusual.
Being able to take out his hair for others to cut casually, in the eyes of the barber, Master Lin is as good as throwing away a fortune for a beautiful woman or playing tricks on the princes!
Because Lin Jianlu has always been very patient, he has been forcing himself to pretend to be an ordinary person since he decided to find an unrelated and unfamiliar barber to cut his hair, so the store manager didn't know that Master Lin would feel uncomfortable with his touch.
At this time, it looked like Master Lin was going to sacrifice his hairstyle to make the beauty smile.
... Who knows what happened between them before? Maybe Master Lin made the little beauty angry and was atonement, or maybe there was some kind of bet between the two of them... There were couples who came to their store before, and boys did something wrong and shaved their heads to make their girlfriends happy. It's just that this
is the first time I've seen someone like Master Lin playing like this.
As for whether Yan Han really knows how to cut hair? Looking at his pair of thin white fingers, it doesn't look like it.
Moreover, this young man looks really young. Unlike them who rely entirely on fashionable looks to look good, although he is wearing all branded clothes, the combinations are very weird and not fashionable at all.
The reason why people's eyes light up is entirely because of his perfect facial features, fair and flawless skin, and the confidence and high spirits in his eyes. The combination of them is a stunning face.
With such a look alone, he can be independent and completely break through the fashion circle. No matter what kind of style or clothes he wears, he will look good.
Some people are satisfied with just looking good. In the eyes of outsiders, they don't even need to have a skill.
Yan Han was obviously included in the list by the people in the barber shop.
But people were shocked and curious. At the request of Master Lin, the store manager quickly found a pair of barber scissors for Yan Han.
In addition, they were invited to the VIP room, which is where the store manager cuts hair for people. It is quieter than outside, and it is also Lin Jianlu's special treatment.
"Then you go wash your hair again?" Yan Han said to Lin Jianlu while getting familiar with the scissors.
"Okay."
Lin Jianlu had no objection. He didn't need a helper to wash his hair. He washed it all by himself.
The store manager knew about Master Lin's rules and didn't ask anyone to help.
When Lin Jianlu came out after washing his hair, Yan Han was basically used to the scissors. He asked Lin Jianlu to sit on the chair in front of him, and then skillfully put a scarf around him.
As soon as he got into position, he started to feel like an expert. Yan Han asked, "What kind of hairstyle do you want?"
Lin Jianlu looked at him through the mirror in front of him and said, "Whatever. How about Teacher Yan design one for me?"
"Well, okay then."
After combing the hair, Yan Han had a plan in mind. He started to cut with the scissors. You could tell from his technique that he was not a novice. At first,
the store manager stood there and watched, just to see the excitement and get close to Master Lin. But once an expert made a move, he knew whether he was good or not. When Yan Han started, he could tell at a glance that he was not only not a novice, but also a veteran who had gone through a lot of trials and tribulations!
Not only the store manager was surprised, but also several barbers beside him - are young people these days so versatile? When they were his age, they were still helping others and were only responsible for dyeing or washing hair. They didn't expect that this guy's skills were at least at the level of a master!
"Wow, how long have you been practicing this skill?" Someone couldn't help but asked Yan Han.
At this moment, no one thought that he might be a girl, not because there were few girls in the barber industry, but because Yan Han's posture when he took action was too easy, and his expression was focused with a kind of surging domineering aura, which made it difficult for people to doubt his gender.
Yan Han said modestly, "I haven't practiced for many years."
He really didn't practice for many years. From the time he dropped out of high school to the time he was in his early twenties, it was only about three or four years.
The people around him started talking at once. If it weren't for the fact that Master Lin looked at the boy through the mirror with a look of indulgence and gentleness that almost melted into a pool of water, they would have wanted to criticize the boy and said he was too humble.
You can't blame these people for making trouble. It's really you who have nothing to do and go to other people's territory to borrow scissors, and you don't even cut them well. Isn't this a mess?
But with a god like Lin Jianlu who can deposit tens of thousands of yuan in a card as soon as he opens it, they dare not say anything, and they dare not ask.
As long as Master Lin is happy, everything is fine!
After cutting his hair and using a hair dryer to style it, Yan Han looked at his masterpiece in the mirror with satisfaction.
Very good, his skills were not lost. At least when he finishes all the system tasks and regains his freedom, if he doesn't want to study anymore, he can still make a living with this skill.
When he took off Lin Jianlu's scarf, he asked him occupationally, "Brother Dalin, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied."
Looking through the mirror at the man standing behind him who had just asked him a question and then turned around to exchange experiences with other barbers, Lin Jianlu thought that he had just been looking at him and did not feel any discomfort either mentally or physically. He raised the corners of his lips and said softly, "Very satisfied." After
cutting hair and coming out of the barber shop, there happened to be a shopping mall nearby, so Lin Jianlu suggested going in to take a look and choose a men's suit for Yan Han.
"...No need, I always wear school uniforms at school, and I don't usually go out." Yan Han shook his head, "Besides, it's not good to be seen wearing men's clothes when going out. Today I just took advantage of your light and had nothing to do to hang out..."
"I think you look better in men's clothes."
"Huh?"
"I always think you look better in men's clothes." Lin Jianlu said, and then he briefly described the impression Yan Han gave him at the beginning.
At first, when he saw him wearing neutral clothes, he thought he looked better than wearing a skirt. Although no one else had this idea, he even suspected that he had some kind of cross-dressing fetish, but when he really discovered the other person's identity, Lin Jianlu was completely sure that his intuition was correct.
"I thought you looked weird in a cheerleading skirt the last time I saw you. Your temperament... you'd be more suitable in men's clothing."
Yan Han: "!"
This perverted task had already made him perverted. Yan Han also had a perverted obsession with men's clothing. Now that Lin Jianlu said this, the two of them hit it off and simply went shopping in the mall again. There are also
advantages to shopping with Brother Da Lin. For example, someone can follow you to prevent you from being recognized by someone familiar. Although the location of this mall is still far from the school, most students go shopping in the shopping district outside the school. No one will come here, and the probability of being recognized is lower.
But now Yan Han is inexplicably relieved.
Summer is here, and the walls between men's and women's clothing of many sports and leisure brands have been broken. At least in Yan
Han's opinion, it is the same pair of shorts, but he can't tell whether it is men's or women's. But no matter what style it is, as long as someone tells him that it is men's, he will feel comfortable after wearing it.
And if possible, he really doesn't want to touch the clothes in the dressing room again.
Of course, it is not possible. Tasks like drag queen that can supplement points should be done.
But after shopping, Yan Han bought two sets of men's clothes, one casual and one sports, and also matched them with a baseball cap. He managed to wear the ordinary T-shirt and shorts with a trendy brand flavor.
Looking at Lin Jianlu in the mirror, who was wearing the same sports shirt and hat as himself, Yan Han felt that this kind of life where he was forced to wear women's clothes on weekdays and occasionally put on men's clothes to release himself was actually not bad.
He could still live.
So when Lin Jianlu said, "You can come to my house on weekends to do homework together," Yan Han agreed without thinking.
At that time, Lin Jianlu sent him back to school after shopping. The two were sitting in the back seat of the car. Yan Han reacted and asked him, "But Brother Lin, you are usually very busy on weekends, right?"
Lin Jianlu replied, "Only occasionally, I am busy, and I don't delay anything."
"..."
The days passed quickly. I don't know if I got used to this kind of life or what, but every day was like flipping through a book. After a monthly exam and a final exam, summer vacation officially arrived in July.
Several major events happened during this period. The first one was that through various hard-working and excellent performances, Yan Han successfully achieved the achievement of "labor" and opened the treasure chest to obtain the skill [Music Expertise].
Musical expertise is also a skill that can be upgraded. As the name suggests, after possessing it, the user will have a musical talent, just like the Ren and Du meridians have been opened. Not only has the old problem of singing out of tune been corrected, but as the skill improves, he can also gradually master the use of various musical instruments, and his understanding of music will also exceed that of ordinary people...
Although this is completely useless in the eyes of the eldest brother.
As for how he got such a skill... This matter has to start from the last time when Xiaowu used his connections to select Deep Focus for him.
According to Xiaowu, that matter was later discovered by the higher-ups. After all, it was different from the situation when the dressing room was moved, so it was determined to be an illegal operation. Not only did the higher-ups criticize it, but they also banned the system from giving Yan Han the authority to open the black box again.
So this time it was all Yan Han's fault, and he had to bear the consequences, good or bad.
Although Yan Han felt very sorry, he thought that he now had the learning skills and necessary life skills. Apart from the usual hard work, there was actually no problem that he could not overcome, so he just endured it and chose to continue his life optimistically.
The second thing is that he and Lin Jianlu are finally not the first CP on the anonymous forum.
During this period, Wei Ningxin, one of the top ten figures on campus, and Gong Yuxue, the goddess of liberal arts in their school, somehow got together. They have been captured by countless people, and a CP forum has been opened on the anonymous forum. The popularity has reached the point where Yan Han has heard about it.
Even though there is no one around him who supports this CP.
Yan Han never took to heart such young people's behavior of "you like me today and he likes me tomorrow", nor did he like to listen to such gossip. The only thing that made him care a little was that he remembered that the goddess of liberal arts liked Da Lin, and was crazy about him. How come she was with Wei Ningxin so soon?
These two people have no similarities in temperament, temper or character, right?
I don't know why, but he always feels that there is something between them.
But he can't figure it out, and Lin Jianlu, a race without emotions, can't figure it out even more.
He did talk to Gong Yuxue once after the last basketball game, mainly about her bullying incident. Since this matter broke out and was finally traced to her, Lin Jianlu couldn't just ignore it.
There was no clear school rule to punish this kind of soft violence. Considering that the two families were old friends, Lin Jianlu talked to her alone.
Then I heard that Gong Yuxue disbanded her small group and all the sisters and friends who used to follow her were no longer friends. As for how the two talked to other people, it was unknown. It was just that Gong Yuxue only focused on studying for a period of time after that and never formed a gang again.
As for how he ended up with Wei Ningxin again…
Once, when everyone was gossiping together, Yan Han asked Da Lin about it. Unexpectedly, Lin Jianlu just said expressionlessly, “This matter is not my responsibility.”
Yan Han: “?”
Lin Jianlu said seriously, “According to the rules of the disciplinary committee, we are never responsible for catching premature love.”
Yan Han: “…”
Well, it turns out that my brain circuit is wrong again.
Later, Yan Han didn’t pay attention to this matter anymore.
After the final exams, the summer vacation officially arrived after the parents’ meeting.
Yan Han's parents' meeting was attended by his grandfather. He got good scores in the two subsequent exams. Although he didn't make a significant improvement, he at least managed to gain a foothold in Class 14. If he keeps doing this, he will be able to move up one class in the next semester's placement exam, and he will be able to make it to the fourth floor.
In addition, he performed exceptionally well this semester and made outstanding contributions in several projects, so his grandfather was very proud to attend the parents' meeting.
However, Yan Han did not go back to his hometown with his grandfather during the summer vacation, but stayed in school.
In addition to wanting to stay in school to concentrate on his studies, another important reason was that the finals of the Street Dance King would begin in a few days.
Unlike the competition for top students, the Street Dance King competition postponed the finals to the summer vacation after the top eight were selected. Yan Han only found out later that the organizers chose to hold the finals during the summer vacation mainly to attract sponsors when students were on vacation and traffic was high, and use these contestants for free advertising.
After all, they were selected in waves, and the remaining top eight were either amazing in skills or like Yan Han, with amazing looks, so they were very interesting.
For the finals, the organizers specially invited TV stations and major media to come, intending to use this gimmick to make a lot of advertising fees.
Although this practice will make the players feel very unhappy and have a feeling of being used, holding such a competition costs money and manpower, and people must be able to get some benefits, which Yan Han can understand.
After all, his goal in participating in this competition is just to win the prize money, while some other people just want to show their faces on TV, and they will think that this is a good platform and opportunity.
What's more, this is a competition after all, and if you really feel unacceptable, you can choose to withdraw.
But they all fought hard bit by bit, and who would choose to withdraw at this time? So even if the content and links of the finals suddenly became very complicated, as long and smelly as a foot wrap, the remaining eight players still persisted.
During this time, Yan Han, who had unlocked his music expertise, also gained new insights and understandings about the dance machine and dancing.
Originally a delicate and frail person, he could now listen to the rhythm and eight beats, which was a great help to Yan Han in the competition. He defeated his opponent in six or seven games and made it directly into the top three.
During this period, the organizer also used the media platform to organize a voting activity. Without a doubt, Yan Han received the highest vote rate.
Although even Brother Yan would feel exhausted after competing all the way, making money is never easy. Yan Han knew the reason and accepted it, waiting for the final of the top three.
I just didn't expect the organizers to go too far and even asked them to cooperate with various sponsors to take photos. This guy couldn't stand it.
- You can take photos, but you have to pay.
