Chapter 106: The Trendy Hairstyle
It had only been five days since they last met, but Pu Tong felt as if every classmate had changed somehow.
Many classmates even told him:
“Pu Tong, we haven’t seen you for five days and you’ve gotten even more handsome!”
All he could do was smile and say nothing.
When people see each other every day, they usually cannot notice subtle changes. Even if someone undergoes a fairly big change, people quickly get used to it, so they always feel like their classmates or coworkers haven’t changed at all.
But when there is a gap between meetings, those accumulated changes become easier to notice. At that point, when encountering someone they are not very familiar with, people may even get the illusion that it is their first time meeting.
“Good morning!”
The familiar voice made Pu Tong freeze for a moment.
He looked up and realized it was Lin Yuxi, who had just arrived.
During the holiday, she had directly changed her long hair into a braid.
Combined with her fair oval face, bright eyes, neat teeth, delicate nose, thin eyebrows, and the temperament she had developed from years of dance training, she was already a beauty despite still being young.
Previously, when his mother asked him which of the three girls was the prettiest, he had answered Lin Yuxi without hesitation.
It was an objective evaluation.
Her dancer’s temperament gave her too much of an advantage. Standing there, she naturally stood out from the crowd.
“Beautiful girl, who are you?”
“Stop joking around. The three of us agreed to change our hairstyles.” Seeing Putong’s confused expression, she added:
“Don’t worry. They all meet the hairstyle requirements for high school students.”
Even without Lin Yuxi explaining, Pu Tong wouldn’t believe those three would come up with any strange hairstyles.
Pu Tong continued quietly memorizing his books and didn’t become overly excited after hearing about their changes.
After all, as long as they came to school, he would always be able to see them.
The second celebrity student to arrive was Gan Hengxu.
He hadn’t changed at all.
His buzz cut was still a buzz cut.
In fact, it was even shorter than before.
It seemed he had trimmed it again during the holiday.
How much does this guy love buzz cuts?
Tang Luocheng and Yi Zhi Xuenai arrived together.
The two seemed to still be chatting, which surprised Putong.
After all, in his impression, Tang Luocheng and the Japanese girl had absolutely no connection.
“Good morning…”
Yi Zhi Xuenai looked extremely exhausted, as if she could fall asleep while walking.
“Your bun really looks like a bun.”
Putong was curious.
How did this Japanese girl make her hair bun so perfectly round?
At first glance, it looked like she had placed a sphere on the back of her head.
“Is it really that round?”
“It’s round… extremely round. Basically, it’s like… wow, so round.”
Yi Zhi Xuenai didn’t understand what he meant and only thought he was praising her skill.
“Maybe I really brought my bun-making skills into hairstyling.”
“It’s pretty cute.”
Putong was genuinely complimenting her.
Yi Zhi Xuenai’s face was relatively small, and with that little bun on top, every time she moved her head, she gave off an especially adorable feeling.
“I stayed up all night copying homework. I’m exhausted…”
The Japanese girl didn’t pretend to be hardworking either.
She sat down and immediately lay her head on the desk to sleep.
Looking at the bun on the back of her head, Putong suddenly thought of a pointless pun.
Fish Ball Ball…
Why didn’t Yu Wanwan make a bun hairstyle too?
Perhaps responding to his question, Yu Wanwan walked into the classroom.
First, she exchanged a glance with him.
Then she calmly returned to her seat.
“Morning!”
Yu Wanwan had changed to a half-up hairstyle.
The two small braids on both sides held her long hair behind her head.
She looked elegant, quiet, and sweet.
Pu Tong stared at Yu Wanwan’s new hairstyle.
But after a long time, he still couldn’t say anything.
He could easily compliment Lin Yuxi and Yi Zhi Xuenai without hesitation.
But whenever he wanted to compliment Yu Wanwan, he always wanted to tease her instead.
She was obviously very pretty, but he just wanted to say:
“That’s it?”
It was like a little boy using childish teasing to attract a girl’s attention.
Could this be what Mom meant when she said…
Being open and natural is friendship, while being careful and nervous is…
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Your new hairstyle… is pretty good!”
Pu Tong gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.
“Not bad.”
Yu Wanwan blinked.
She seemed dissatisfied with Pu Tong’s reaction, as if she wanted more praise.
“Uh… making this hairstyle must take a lot of time, right?”
Pu Tong ignored her obvious expression that said:
Praise me, praise me!
“You’re not telling me you woke up an hour early just to do your hair, right?”
“Of course not!”
Yu Wanwan rolled her eyes.
Getting another compliment from Putong really wasn’t easy.
Xie Mu and Chen Siqing entered the classroom at almost the same time.
However, neither of them had changed.
Maybe because Chen Siqing had previously been targeted by Zhang Binyan over his hairstyle, he was now quite careful about this kind of thing.
“You think our hairstyles won’t get criticized by the homeroom teacher?”
Yu Wanwan suddenly remembered this problem.
Sometimes whether something followed school rules was one thing.
Whether it passed the homeroom teacher’s judgment was another.
“How would I know?”
“Isn’t he your homeroom teacher? You should know him better than me.”
“I don’t know about the other two, but he definitely won’t question you.”
Putong paused.
“He might even praise your new hairstyle.”
Never underestimate the power of a fan’s filter!
Although Pu Tong believed that with Zhang Binyan’s personality, he wouldn’t actually have double standards.
If something truly violated school rules, he would treat everyone equally.
Soon, morning self-study began.
Yu Wanwan stopped bothering Putong and quietly started memorizing her own books.
This girl is really considerate…
If he wasted even a little of his study time, it would feel like disrespecting her.
He focused and memorized for a while, but suddenly the noise from the front interrupted him.
“The teacher is here!”
Lin Yuxi immediately elbowed Yi Zhi Xuenai and woke her up from her position lying on the desk.
The Japanese girl hurriedly sat up and grabbed her book.
“Abandon…”
She was so practiced at pretending to study that it was almost heartbreaking.
The next second, Zhang Binyan entered the classroom.
His footsteps were extremely light and almost silent.
If Lin Yuxi hadn’t noticed him, they probably wouldn’t have realized.
The moment the homeroom teacher entered, Pu Tong felt that the sound of students memorizing suddenly became louder.
Zhang Binyan did not say anything.
He silently walked around the classroom, looking at this student and then that student.
Even Pu Tong felt nervous.
Soon, Zhang Binyan reached their area.
Pu Tong noticed Yu Wanwan’s hand holding the book trembled slightly.
So girls were all the same.
They loved looking pretty but were also afraid of breaking school rules.
Even celebrity students were no exception.
Fear of teachers was simply written into every student’s DNA.
It should be fine.
Pu Tong felt their hairstyles were normal and followed the rules.
If there was really a problem, then it was only because they were too beautiful and accidentally became “violations.”
The hairstyle itself was innocent.
Zhang Binyan glanced at them but said nothing.
He silently left and continued checking other students.
The girls immediately sighed in relief.
They had passed the test.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, Zhang Binyan made a confused sound.
Then he slowly turned around.
That single sound and movement instantly caused the classroom’s reading voices to become quieter.
Everyone switched from reading aloud to silent reading.
What happened?
Was he coming back for revenge?
Zhang Binyan looked toward their area with sharp eyes.
Could their hairstyles really be getting criticized?
Just as Pu Tong started worrying, Zhang Binyan walked directly toward them.
His target was clear.
Oh no…
Was he really unable to tolerate their hairstyles?
Yu Wanwan’s reading voice became slightly shaky.
As the person involved, she was clearly the most nervous.
Zhang Binyan walked in front of them.
He said nothing.
Instead, he directly patted Pu Tong’s shoulder.
“Stand up.”
“Huh?”
“What are you huh-ing about?”
Zhang Binyan narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
“How long is your hair? Do you even know?”
Pu Tong was confused.
What was going on?
Why was he involved?
He had not even changed his hairstyle.
He had barely cut his hair since arriving in this world…
Wait.
He had not cut his hair?
Damn.
Now he knew the problem.
“Sorry, teacher. I didn’t notice. I’ll get it cut at noon today!”
“You can study seriously, but you still need to pay attention to your appearance.”
“Why did you grow your hair so long? Are you becoming a celebrity?”
“Even celebrities don’t have hair as long as yours.”
“Look at your deskmate. She’s the celebrity here. Look at her hair. Isn’t it well-behaved?”
Teacher Zhang, please remove your fan filter!
Of course, Pu Tong did not dare say anything.
He could only lower his head and listen.
“You’d better cut it shorter at noon.”
“If you don’t, I have clippers in my office. I’ll cut it for you myself!”
Zhang Binyan smiled meaningfully.
Pu Tong felt his scalp go numb.
This really was his own fault.
After coming to this world for so long, he had completely forgotten that he needed a haircut.
The homeroom teacher walked away.
Pu Tong sighed and sat back down.
“Hahaha…”
Yu Wanwan finally could not hold back anymore and laughed loudly beside him.
