Chapter 1091: Do I Look Good?
“Mister, are you wearing cosmetic lenses? Why didn’t I think of wearing cosmetic lenses like this before? It looks so good! And it has an exotic charm!”
The young lady who was dying a customer’s hair turned over and said to Zhou Yuchen. Her eyes were filled with envy and admiration, and her face was flushed.
This young lady had wanted to start a conversation with Zhou Yuchen, who looked so handsome. However, she saw that his face had been tensed up—cold and aloof. The wounds on his face also gave off an unbridled feeling. She was afraid that she’d be reb.u.t.ted if she were to say something and could only admire him secretly.
When the hairdresser praised Zhou Yuchen, the young lady couldn’t hold back and immediately turned to talk to him.
Zhou Yuchen, who was suddenly praised, felt a little at a loss. He almost subconsciously turned to Yun Liuli. Yun Liuli’s pitch-black eyes were looking at him, and she nodded. “This looks even better now!”
Zhou Yuchen’s ears turned even redder.
After Zhou Yuchen got his hair cut, he went to the lounge area to wait for Yun Liuli.
Within a mere ten or so minutes, a few ladies had come over to chat up Zhou Yuchen, wanting to get his contact number.
Zhou Yuchen wasn’t good at socializing and was a little afraid of strangers. His face tensed up, and he kept quiet, displaying his cold and aloof disposition, and forcing the young ladies to leave, feeling great pity.
Zhou Yuchen looked up and checked out his own reflection in the mirror? Did he look good?
Yun Liuli said that he looked good, so he probably really looked good! After all, Yun Liuli was such a good-looking person herself…
Zhou Yuchen suddenly realized that he felt that Yun Liuli was good-looking. His heart started pounding again, and he lowered his gaze, fiddling around with his hands anxiously.
Very soon, Yun Liuli had her hair cut and styled, and she walked in Zhou Yuchen’s direction.
Yun Liuli had cut her hair short, and it gave her a sharper and more capable feeling. Her facial features were exquisite, like a painting, so beautiful that they would cause others to fall into a trance.
Zhou Yuchen watched as Yun Liuli walked over in the bright and glorious room… Her skin was smooth and fair, and it glistened in the light, robbing the lights in the room of all their brilliance.
Zhou Yuchen went into a slight daze…
Yun Liuli smiled and asked him, “Do I look good?”
Zhou Yuchen nodded, sincerely feeling that she looked good. He replied, “You look good!”
Yun Liuli took a look at the time and then said to Zhou Yuchen, “You look good too! If you dislike your eyes, there’s a drugstore next door… You can go there and buy a pair of cosmetic lenses.”
Zhou Yuchen clenched his fists and stood up. He was taller than Yun Liuli but was too skinny and weak, and his face looked a little childish as well, so he didn’t emit even a hint of threat. He asked, “You said that… everyone in school knows that my eyes are different colors?”
Yun Liuli nodded, saying very naturally, “They know! However, you aren’t the only one in the world with different colored eyes. There are a bunch of them if you check online. What’s there to hide?”
Zhou Yuchen nodded, then asked, “But… don’t you feel that I’m a monster?”
Yun Liuli shook her head, looking at Zhou Yuchen strangely, not understanding why he would say that.
Zhou Yuchen’s clenched fists loosened up slowly, and his pair of exotic eyes seemed to accept things a little. He said, “Since everyone knows, then there’s nothing to hide!”
Yun Liuli seemed to agree with Zhou Yuchen’s words. She then asked, “Do you want to learn self-defense skills?”
Upon hearing that, Zhou Yuchen’s heart started thumping hard again. He understood Yun Liuli’s intentions, and thus the warm feeling in his heart grew even stronger.
His throat rolled, and he kept quiet for a while before asking, “Yun Liuli, why are you… being so nice to me?”
“It’s because when I look at you, I think of the useless me in the past. I had someone to save me… You should have someone to save you as well!” Yun Liuli said this very naturally, sounding as if this was how things should be.
Zhou Yuchen’s heart quivered. So… Yun Liuli was there to save him, right?
Zhou Yuchen’s eyes felt a little hot. After some time, he nodded. “I want to learn!”
“Then I’ll take you to a place! But I can’t do that today, because I have to head home earlier!” When Yun Liuli spoke, her lips curled up uncontrollably. “Can you go back by yourself?”
Pausing for a little while, Zhou Yuchen nodded.
“I’ll be heading off!” Yun Liuli waved at Zhou Yuchen, leaving the salon happily. She touched the neat ends of her hair that reached her neck. She wondered how Gu Qingcheng would react when he saw her in her new hairstyle.
Zhou Yuchen looked at the back view of Yun Liuli, who was unable to control her elation. He wondered if he could be as carefree and happy as Yun Liuli was right now.
Zhou Yuchen had no idea…
But today, someone had reached out a helping hand to Zhou Yuchen in his dark life, wanting to pull him back up to his feet from his despair.
That person was Yun Liuli, someone he didn’t really like previously, as she had given off the same feeling he did. However, when Zhou Yuchen looked at Yun Liuli now… he felt that she was outstanding.
Zhou Yuchen turned and walked in the opposite direction of Yun Liuli. He was also feeling antic.i.p.ation in his heart. He didn’t hope to be able to lead a life like Yun Liuli one day in the future. It would already be good if he could become an ordinary person and not be bullied.
Holding onto this small hope, Zhou Yuchen returned to his place…
Although Zhou Yuchen lived in an old district, it was a small building from the earlier days that had five floors and even an elevator. It wasn’t considered bad even in the current times.
Zhou Yuchen heard from the grandpa and grandma who lived on the first floor that this area would be demolished soon. They told Zhou Yuchen to make preparations since the building would definitely be demolished since it was worth a lot of money. When Zhou Yuchen heard about this back then, he was very upset.
Right now, Zhou Yuchen sat down on the sofa and thought about it. He felt that people had to look forward. He couldn’t always live in the past and should start to plan for his future.
…
When Yun Liuli returned to the Cloud Top Condominium, Gu Qingcheng had already arrived. He saw that she wasn’t around and was just about to give her a call.
Gu Qingcheng was very clear about Yun Liuli’s school timetable. Seeing that she wasn’t at home, he had wanted to give her a call to ask if she was still in school. If so, he wouldn’t change out of his clothes and would head over to fetch her. He would also take the opportunity to see if that Zhong Qingfei was still pestering Yun Liuli, fulfilling his role as her adoptive father.
Gu Qingcheng had just taken out his phone when he heard the sound of the elevator door opening…
Gu Qingcheng turned and was stunned…
The young lady whose long hair had reached to her waist had cut her hair short. It was close to a bob hairstyle but was slightly longer.
This hairstyle made Yun Liuli’s chin even more exquisite and delicate looking, and her facial features stood out more. Her black hair had a 7:3 parting, with one side tucked behind her ears and the other side trailing down. She had a hint of mature charm that a young adult lady would have, and she gave off a strong disposition!
Gu Qingcheng looked at Yun Liuli, watching as she held onto the shoe cabinet and changed her shoes. She bent over, casually tucking her hair behind her ear, exposing a bit of her neckline. He turned his gaze away, feeling unsettled.
