At seven o’clock, Pu Sangzhi was strolling through the campus lanes with Huo Feng.
She was listening to Huo Feng complaining about his roommates, and the more she listened, the funnier she found it.
Perhaps it was because Huo Feng described it so amusingly, so as she listened, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Whenever she laughed, Huo Feng’s mood also improved...
"Right, you also think it’s bizarre, don’t you!"
Huo Feng, draping his arm over her shoulders, sighed as he spoke, "What kind of bad luck have I encountered to et such extrely unique roommates? Thinking money can buy my labor? They really think they’re princes?"
Pu Sangzhi laughed and said, "Actually, I think you should set a sky-high price, just to scare them."
"Oh, you can joke too?"
Huo Feng bowed his head, gazed deeply into Pu Sangzhi’s eyes, and pinched Pu Sangzhi’s cheek, "Then tell , how much should I charge?"
Pu Sangzhi thought for a while, unceremoniously speaking straight: "Make them pay 500,000 for a sester."
"Wow..."
Huo Feng couldn’t help but sigh softly, "50,000 for a sester of labor, you’re quite ruthless~"
Pu Sangzhi looked up, her clever dark pupils eting his, "The goal isn’t to have you work for them, just to scare them. Plus, our instructor said that in Beijing, no matter how rich or powerful you are, you aren’t considered wealthy or powerful. Under the emperor, except for the highest one, nobody is important."
"So, huh..."
Huo Feng nodded in agreent, "Looks like a lackluster person like should just go back to Wenzhou and live cozy!"
Pu Sangzhi elbowed him, "You’re just a freshman and already calling yourself a loser. In the four years of college, I can’t tutor you like before, you need to have so aspirations yourself!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Huo Feng smiled with his lips curled, "I’m just joking! I’ve co to Tsinghua, I must strive hard! I can’t let those quizzical roommates look down on !"
The two were chatting enthusiastically, wandering aimlessly when they suddenly ca near a ’Minal Hair Styling and Dyeing Shop’ close to the dormitory building.
Right at the entrance of that barbershop, Pu Sangzhi stopped and casually grasped Huo Feng’s hand...
She suddenly suggested, "Let’s go get a haircut."
Huo Feng raised his eyebrows, "Hmm?"
Pu Sangzhi too had seen the barbershop just then...
But at that mont, she was quite determined!
"Co on, let’s both get a haircut, to welco tomorrow’s military training," she said, laughing as she held Huo Feng’s hand.
Looking at her tender and gentle smiling face, Huo Feng felt uneasy inside...
He fiddled with the bangs he had trimd just two weeks before school started, feeling quite satisfied with them.
"I’ll accompany you. I won’t cut it, my hairstyle is pretty good as it is," Huo Feng said.
"Together,"
Pu Sangzhi didn’t care what he said anymore, she simply grabbed his hand and dragged him into the barbershop!
Then, without Huo Feng’s consent, she told the hairstylist directly, "We’re cutting our hair, I’ll go short, and he’ll get a crew cut."
"Huh?!"
Huo Feng imdiately uttered a sound of astonishnt, his eyes widening in shock!
The hairstylist, seeing they seed not to have discussed it, reiterated, "The girl cuts her hair short, the boy gets a crew cut, right?"
"No!"
Huo Feng firmly refused, "I’m not cutting! Who wants a crew cut! Just started school and already becoming a crew-cut dog! I haven’t even been handso for a while yet!"
"Um..." the hairstylist was speechless.
However, Pu Sangzhi naturally turned to him and said, "The crew cut will definitely be comfortable for tomorrow’s military training. Plus, the instructors who co to train us also have crew cuts. It’s rare to see you in a camo outfit, can’t you be neat and look like a fresh recruit?"
"This..."
Huo Feng was sowhat persuaded by her, but still struggling inside, "I don’t suit a crew cut, haven’t you seen it, my head is round!"
"It suits you."
Pu Sangzhi pulled at his palm, "I like you with a crew cut. We’re cutting together, I’m getting it too."
Huo Feng frowned, "Then you get a crew cut too."
Pu Sangzhi thumped his chest, "Nonsense!"
Her word "nonsense" carried a coquettish tone.
Huo Feng instantly wore a smile, his mood so enhanced that he imdiately agreed, "Alright, alright, let’s cut... really..."
...
After an hour of hassle, they both changed their hairstyles.
Pu Sangzhi went from long hair to a bob, her bangs very sparse, matching her small oval face, completely changing her aura to peaceful and cute—and even sweet!
After she cut her hair short, only her aura changed, not her attractiveness.
On the contrary, her small oval face and beautifully oriental features complented the hairstyle, making her look incredibly youthful!
For a mont, Huo Feng was staring at her, stunned...
But then...
Looking back at himself...
Huo Feng felt like dying!
Damn...
The crew cut fully exposed his round head! Not covering his face at all! He looked like a monk!
The person who had been worrying about Pu Sangzhi being eyed by sleazy n, after the haircut, felt even more unworthy of Pu Sangzhi!
Huo Feng was very gloomy...
After leaving the barbershop, Huo Feng forcefully took Pu Sangzhi to buy a duckbill cap, covering his head in the middle of the hot sumr, not fearing the heat at all.
Pu Sangzhi was still consoling him, "You look really handso. Honestly, very handso~ Believe it or not, once you put on the camouflage uniform tomorrow, you will be the most handso man!"
Huo Feng just hung his face and said, "No matter how you console , I won’t smile. Unless you also get a buzz cut and be ugly with ."
Then Pu Sangzhi laughed, "I would rather not."
Huo Feng: "..."
Huo Feng felt that he had been tricked!
Yes...
Pu Sangzhi had tricked him into getting a haircut!
...
At 9 pm, Pu Sangzhi returned to the girls’ dormitory.
By then, the three girls in the dorm had already settled into their beds, so applying face masks, others playing with their phones, so watching movies...
Before the official start of school, everyone was still lazy.
The atmosphere of studying had not yet perated...
Seeing Pu Sangzhi return with a short haircut, Minal and Wei Zixuan were taken aback and sat up; Wei Zixuan even put on her large glasses to get a better look at Pu Sangzhi...
Pu Sangzhi knew what they wanted to ask and simply said, "My boyfriend took to get it done, wanted to change my hairstyle, you know, a new beginning."
Actually...
It was she who had taken Huo Feng to get it cut.
She just thought that Huo Feng’s various discomforts since entering the school might stem from his inability to break away from his forr lifestyle of leading a gang.
So, she wanted to make so changes together with him, hoping that he might adjust his mindset and start accepting a completely new way of life.
Because...
Not everyone was willing to be his lackey or accommodate his personality and temper.
"Oh, so you went to et your boyfriend just now, eh~" Minal teased her.
Pu Sangzhi smiled lightly and nodded, "Yeah. I’m going to take a shower first."
...
anwhile, Huo Feng had also returned to the boys’ dormitory.
He was not as confident as Pu Sangzhi; wearing a baseball cap and keeping his head down, he quietly and timidly entered the dorm, not wanting anyone to notice his buzz cut.
In fact, the few roommates in the dorm hadn’t even noticed him.
The twins were engrossed in their gaming, and that introverted guy was lying in bed playing with his phone. When Huo Feng returned, they barely gave him a glance, that’s all.
Huo Feng grabbed his clothes, basin, and bucket, preparing to go to the communal bathroom for a shower.
Before leaving, he glanced back at the twins’ luggage scattered on the floor, still unorganized, and couldn’t help frowning, "Those two grown-up babies..."
The twins clearly knew Huo Feng was referring to them and purposefully ignored him.
Huo Feng’s brow furrowed as he left a cautionary note: "Take care of your own stuff, please. Nothing on the desks or under the tables. If we lose points for housekeeping tomorrow, it’s on you!"
With that, Huo Feng turned and left.
As soon as he was gone, the introverted guy hurriedly got up and began tidying the area under his desk without a word, quiet and obedient.
However, the twins were completely uncooperative, imrsed in their ga, occasionally exchanging a few words...
"He loves to ddle so much, yet he doesn’t want to be the dorm leader; he just likes bossing people around," said the older twin.
"Must be used to being bullied by his mom at ho, so he cos here wanting to play king, wanting to bully us. We’re not from the sa kind of family as him, who’d listen to him? Ignore him!" the younger twin said.
After their chat, the younger twin even stuck his head out to speak to the introverted guy who was also organizing his desk next door: "Hey, don’t be so obedient to him; you’re not a slave! You’re not used to being bullied at ho too, are you?"
The introverted guy paused his movent for a mont and then said softly, "I’m just dealing with my own stuff, not his."
"Don’t listen too much to him! He’s just used to being bullied by his mom! He can’t sit still!" the younger twin added.
"I just don’t want to lose points for housekeeping," the introverted guy continued. "If you guys want to ignore it, then ignore it. It’s none of my business if he teaches you a lesson."
Truth be told...
The introverted guy had always thought Huo Feng looked quite fierce.
Especially just now...
Seeing Huo Feng with a buzz cut, he looked as nacing as a convict just out of the slamr, definitely not soone to ss with!
Anyway...
He dared not provoke Huo Feng.
That night before bed, the introverted guy and the introverted girl chatted secretly on WeChat about their respective roommates...
The introverted guy said: "Our dorm seems to have a bully. I accidentally saw him shirtless in the bathroom just now, all muscles... really tough to deal with."
The introverted girl said: "Then you should be careful, if you can’t deal with him, don’t provoke him."
The introverted guy again said: "The twins in our dorm are constantly provoking him, I think he’s holding back. The day he can’t take it anymore, those twins are done for."
The introverted girl said: "Just mind your own business, absolutely don’t provoke him."
The introverted guy: "Yeah. How about you? Are you okay?"
The introverted girl said: "Our dorm has completely split into two factions, the three of them one side, and on the other. They all follow the most beautiful girl, and I’m too scared to talk to her. Just can’t deal..."
The introverted guy: "Hang in there."
The introverted girl: "You too."
After chatting, across the screens, both sighed softly...
Alas...
Can’t deal with it, just can’t deal...
