Chapter 52 -Tying Hair Is A Headache
Days ofdrizzle finally stopped. There were white clouds floating in the sky, and thesky was deep blue and clean. The warm sun has just warmed up some of the dampair of last night.
However,Yang Yi didn"t take Xixi out to play today.
Because therewere a few customers at the coffee shop.
Today,several students from Jiangcheng Media University went for a trip to the ca.n.a.land stumbled upon Yang Yi"s coffee shop. Curious, they gathered around and cameto buy a few cups of coffee.
Of course, thetwo handsome and rich boys are paying. It seems that the two girls are not in arelationship with them, or that they are not yet in a relationship. The boysnaturally have to act like peac.o.c.ks and show off their feathers.
Yeah, well,even if it"s a take-away, it also adds some popularity to Yang Yi"s shop.
But this isnot the reason why Yang Yi didn"t take Xixi out to play. He is having aheadache. How to tie Xixi"s hair? And according to Mo Fei"s requirements, hehas to tie it in a double ponytail tadpole braid!
"Isthis okay?" Yang Yi gathered one side of Xixi"s hair with his hand andasked the little girl"s opinion.
There was agla.s.s part.i.tion that was as smooth as a mirror in the shop. Xixi was sitting infront of the gla.s.s part.i.tion and obediently asked her father to comb her hair.
However, althoughXixi is a good girl, she didn"t approve of her father"s skill. She gently shookher little head and said, "No! It doesn"t look good."
"Wait aminute!" Yang Yi put down Xixi"s hair, pulled out his mobile phone indistress, opened the page he was looking at previously, and studied itcarefully again.
"Thefirst step is to split the hair into two sides and tie it from one side…"There are instructions on the internet, but they look simple and hard to do.
The hair isdivided into two sides, how to divide into two sides? The little girl in thepicture does not have her hair divided from the middle. She has more hair onone side and less hair on the other side, so it looks comfortable.
But who cantell Yang Yi what the ratio is? 1:4? 2:3? Or 2:5?
There"s asecond step!
"Thesecond step is to tie it down with a colored rubber band and pull it loose withyour hands…"
What"s thenext one? How long does it have to be? What the heck does it mean to pull itloose?
In theafternoon, he waited for Xixi to wake up. Then after nearly two hours ofstruggling, Yang Yi felt that he was going crazy.
His hands, witha knife, can kill a blood storm, and can also carve out an exquisite wood art.With such a powerful and dexterous hand, why can"t he do this little thingwell?
"Ah, Xixi,can you tell Papa what to do to make it look good?" Yang Yi couldn"t helpsaying.
However, Xixididn"t give any opinion. She put her little finger on her cheek and tilted herhead to the side to think for a moment, and then said, "Xixi doesn"t know.Mama has always done my hair! Mama makes it looks good!"
"Lingling……"A guest opened the door and came in, and without waiting for Yang Yi to turn around,a gentle voice came over.
"Whatare you father and daughter doing? Kaikai, look how lovely Little Sister Xixiis." (TN: Kaikai is Yan Yingkai and this is how her mother calls him.)
Yan Xiaopei?Why is she here again?
Yang Yi was somewhatpuzzled. He turned around and saw Yan Xiaopei wearing a pink and blue flowerdress. Under the reflection of the sunlight at the door, she looked like a girlin midsummer. Walking on a slightly high heels, she delicately and gracefully cameover.
However,Yang Yi"s gaze didn"t stop. He turned to Yan Xiaopei"s son, Yan Yingkai, whowas behind his mother with a reluctant look. Fortunately, the little guy wasintroverted and proud, and was dismissive to quarrel with his mother.
The otherparty asked sincerely, so Yang Yi still politely replied: "h.e.l.lo, I am ponderingabout how to tie Xixi"s hair!"
"I pickedup Kaikai after cla.s.s and we"re on our way home. By the way, I brought yourclothes. They"re already been washed." Yan Xiaopei flashed the bag in herhand and smiled.
"Oh, itjust a trivial matter, and you still made the trip." Yang Yi shook herhead, took it, and put it aside.
Yan Xiaopei hasno intention to leave. She smiled and said, "Tying hair. You"re a big man,of course, you can"t do it. This has to be done by a woman! Let me do it!"
After she approached,Yang Yi had to give way, but he didn"t walk away. He just stood and watched.
Yan Xiaopeigently gathered up Xixi"s hair. The little girl"s hair was not short. It hadalready fallen to the bottom of her shoulders. It was soft and smooth, and itwas black as if it had been rubbed with oil.
"Xixiis a good girl, and your hair is so good!" Yan Xiaopei admired it withenvy. "It doesn"t have to be ironed, it"s straight."
Xixi waspraised. Although she didn"t like the aunt very much, she still smiled happily.
"It"s adouble ponytail tadpole braid." Yang Yi took his mobile phone out andshowed Yan Xiaopei actual photos.
Yan Xiaopei coveredher mouth with one hand and said with a smile, "Are you still looking atinstructions? You can"t learn that! Well, you"re a big man, and it"s normal thatyou don"t understand it. This braiding matter, leave it to a woman to do!"
Her words,in fact, have some hidden meaning in them. Leave it to a woman to do. But whois that woman?
Yan Xiaopeiwas secretly happy in her heart. She felt that she had found an opportunity forYang Yi to look at her. If she gave his daughter ponytails, would he think thatin life he really needs a woman to take care of him and his daughter?
Next to YangYi"s burning gaze, Yan Xiaopei, who pretended to be watching Xixi all thistime, had a faint red glow on her face. She was happy in her heart but she couldn"tshow it. It was quite laborious!
"It"sworth dressing up for a long time." Yan Xiaopei secretly puffed her chest upa little high.
However, YanXiaopei didn"t know that Yang Yi"s attention was not on her body, but wasabsorbed in watching Yan Xiaopei"s every action, engraving them in his mind.
"The keypoint is that you have to push it up a little bit, loose and tight, to get acurved tadpole braid." Yan Xiaopei explained absent-mindedly, but themovement of her hands was very skillful, and soon she tied up Xixi"s hair.
"Come,have a look?" Yan Xiaopei stood up and said with a smile. She said this toXixi, but in fact she was secretly looking at Yang Yi.
"Looksgood!" Xixi clapped her little hand happily.
However,Yang Yi sat down excitedly. He reached out to untie the several rubber bandsand said, "it seems I understand. Let me try!"
At thistime, Yan Xiaopei noticed that Yang Yi did not think much of herself, and hereyes became a bit sorrowful.
However, sheleaned over and reached out to guide Yang Yi. Inadvertently, they touched eachother"s hands.
Yang Yi slightlyfrowned and moved her hand discreetly.
Of course, what"simportant was to tie her hair. Yang Yi"s learning ability is very strong. Afterwatching Yan Xiaopei do it once, he was able to imitate it, and unexpectedlytied Xixi"s hair in a decent way.
"Papa"slooks good, too!" Xixi giggled.
Yang Yismiled with satisfaction at this time. He stood up and looked gratefully at YanXiaopei. "Thank you so much! If it wasn"t for your help, I wouldn"t knowwhat to do!"
In fact,this is also a threshold problem. Yang Yi learned quickly when a master showedthe way.
"If youreally appreciate it, you can buy me another cup of coffee. Yesterday, Ithought your coffee was specially tasty!" Yan Xiaopei gently covered hermouth and smiled.
The summer girl throws a coquettish look, and the current is as high as tens of thousands of amperes…
