Haircut
Hei Wuchang regretted the moment he said it.
Because Tian Baozhu turned around and said to him, "Haircut? Not today."
He covered his face with his hands, trying to control his embarrassment: "Then I didn't say that."
"Wait a minute, I can help you cut your hair. I can't do it today because I don't have any tools. I need to buy some scissors to cut your hair."
"Scissors? A sickle can cut hair."
Tian Baozhu was terrified. "I can't do that. It's too dangerous for you. Haven't you ever used scissors to cut your hair?"
"I rarely take care of my hair. If it gets in the way, I'll just cut it with a sickle."
"Okay, stop talking about it. It's too tragic. Let's go to the ghost market tomorrow and buy some scissors. I'll fix it for you."

The next morning they hurried to the ghost market.
First, she had to buy a pair of sharp scissors, so Tian Baozhu rushed to the farm tool store.
With the increase in business, the owner of the farm tool store has a much more motivated attitude than before. When he heard that Tian Baozhu needed sharp scissors, he immediately took out a pair of large gardening shears from the counter and tried them out to show them, "These scissors are great, they shine very well, and they can cut branches very neatly."
"What I want to buy is a pair of scissors that can cut people's hair."
The boss suddenly became depressed and said lazily, "This is for cutting plants. If you need it, you should go to the daily necessities store. You shouldn't look here."
Tian Baozhu found that she always wanted to go to the farm tool store out of habit. She had cut a lot of hair, all for livestock and pets, so it was no wonder that she would think of buying scissors here first.
They went to a daily necessities store and successfully bought a pair of hairdressing scissors, but where to get their hair cut was another problem.
Go to Tian Baozhu's room? Hei Wuchang would definitely not want to.
"Then come into my room and cut it?" Hei Wuchang asked Tian Baozhu. Tian Baozhu thought it was nothing, but when she stood at the door of Hei Wuchang's room, she hesitated. Entering another person's room, especially a man's room, made her feel strange and uncomfortable.
Finally she said we should just cut it in the corridor since no one would come up there anyway.
Tian Baozhu asked Hei Wuchang to sit on a stool and placed a cloth on his shoulders to cover his loose hair.
She first looked at Hei Wuchang's current hairstyle. It was a mess of jet-black hair, not much better than a bird's nest. His bangs reached the tip of his nose, and the ends of his hair hung down to his waist. He had hair but no shape. It was obvious that he had never taken care of it.
His hair, which was entangled and burned by spider silk, turned dry and gray. The remaining spider silk could not be removed and stuck together, corroding his hair.
Tian Baozhu said, "First, I'll cut off your hair that was burned by the spider web yesterday, and then roughly give you a simple hairstyle. What style do you want, senior?"
"I don't know what style it is. Just cut it short for me, as long as it doesn't hinder my movements."
"How short can you get?"
"Let's go here." He pointed, probably a little below the ear.
After understanding the "customer's" requirements, Tian Baozhu made some simple arrangements and officially started cutting.
Click, click, the gray hair was cut off first.
Snap, snap, and cut off half of the long hair. Tian Baozhu looked at the half of the long hair that fell to the ground and suddenly felt a little sorry. She asked: "Senior, how long have you kept your hair? Are you willing to cut it all off at once? Do you want to keep it longer?"
"I didn't grow my hair out intentionally; it's actually quite a nuisance. But no one has ever offered to cut my hair, and I find it troublesome to do it myself, so I just leave it that way."
"I thought you thought longer hair looked better."
I didn’t expect that it was because no one in the underworld helped him cut his hair. That’s right, who dares to touch the taboo?
He was a first-level employee, and not many people could truly follow him. Furthermore, the former Black and White Impermanence's party, Old White Impermanence, kept his distance from him, maintaining a distance from him.
Thinking about it this way, he is actually a lonely person in the underworld, so lonely that no one will listen to him.
Tian Baozhu's heart suddenly stabbed. Although she was new to the underworld and had misunderstood Hei Wuchang before, Hei Wuchang had still provided her with plenty of support. But what about Hei Wuchang himself? He had received very little support before, so he probably didn't express his thoughts, and he endured everything silently.
She remembered a little girl who had the same experience.
If she hadn't met people who shared the same ideals as her, that little girl would probably have always been like this, hiding all her worries and shouldering everything on her own.
"It's okay. I'm here now. If you need a haircut, you can ask me for help anytime." Tian Baozhu cut off the last bit of excess hair.
"Cut the ends of your hair, and don't worry."
As Tian Baozhu was cutting her hair, Hei Wuchang looked out the window. Outside, he could see the fields of red spider lilies they had planted, and the fluorescent grass intertwined with them. He smiled softly when he heard Tian Baozhu's slogan of cutting hair.
Tian Baozhu keenly caught the hint and said, "You should smile more often. Actually, you know what? You look really good when you smile."
