Youxi's love game entered the second week of competition. Although Xia Yuan won the first victory in a daze, she knew that now was not the time to rest. When she saw Liu Xiaoyu's new curly and fluffy hair style, she immediately became very interested.
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi went to the New Fourth Teaching Building together for class on Monday. After class, Xia Yuan and Liu Xiaoyu went to meet Lin Youxi. After seeing Liu Xiaoyu's beautiful curly hair after perming, Xia Yuan proposed his genius idea to Lin Youxi to enhance the feeling of love -
"Are you really planning on getting your hair permed?"
Facing Xia Yuan's proposal, Lin Youxi thought for a moment and asked, "Have you discussed this with Ah Fang?"
"What are you discussing with him? Isn't this just giving him a surprise?"
"What if it doesn't look good? Or maybe Ah Fang doesn't like your perming."
"I think you'll like it..."
Xia Yuan muttered, "Afang said that no matter what I am like, he will like me."
"Men's mouths are like this, they are liars and they just like to make you happy. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaoyu what she thinks."
"Xiaoyu, tell me!"
Seeing that Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's eyes were on Liu Xiaoyu, Liu Xiaoyu seemed a little nervous and embarrassed, "Ah... I, I can't comment, Mei Fang is my boss after all..."
"Wrong, wrong, Ah Fang is not your boss, I am your boss..."
Xia Yuan thought for a moment and waved his hand, "So, we are team partners. Anyway, you just stay as a bystander. Do you think Ah Fang will like the way I curl my hair?"
"From what I know, Mei Fang is quite fond of the ACG world. If you perm your hair... well..."
"Yes, yes, I think Ah Fang used to like to push those tsundere young lady routes. The spiral twin ponytails seem to be worth a try..."
"That's too 2D. It'll attract too much attention if you walk on the street."
Liu Xiaoyu couldn't help but persuade, "I think it's better to just go with a normal wave or textured perm..."
"Haha, I'm kidding! But the kind you mentioned is a bit ordinary. I wonder if Fang would like pink hair. How about dyeing it a cute and sweet pink color..."
"You didn't listen to me at all..."
Seeing Xia Yuan was in a frenzy, Liu Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh. At this time, Lin Youxi put his arm around Xia Yuan's shoulder and said earnestly:
"Yuanyuan, is it true that you permed your hair just to please Ah Fang, rather than to make yourself look good?"
"Huh? No, no... I just..."
"Afang doesn't like you sticking to her like this. He hopes you are a girl with your own opinions. Otherwise, it will be a big burden for him, you know."
Lin Youxi said seriously, "Afang is responsible for the jobs of hundreds of Yuanxi Interactive Entertainment employees. The pressure is already very great. As lifelong partners, we should be part of his responsibility instead of being his appendage to please him and rely on him."
"I, I know what you mean... Indeed... If Ah Fang knew that I permed my hair just to make him happy, he might really feel pressured."
Xia Yuan thought for a moment and said, "But I still want to perm my hair, not for Ah Fang, but for myself!"
"How do you say that? How do you say it's for your own sake?"
"I hope to make my appearance more mature and reliable, so that people will not treat me as a child, and Ah Fang will be willing to discuss more profound topics with me..."
Xia Yuan covered her mouth as she spoke, and then muttered, "What I mean is that Ah Fang would be willing to talk to me about work instead of worrying about what I can't do..."
"Whether you can do it or not, doesn't Ah Fang know that?"
"After all this talk, Youxi, what do you think? Do you want to get your hair done with us?"
"Sure, I want to do it, but I want it straightened."
"No perm, right?"
"Yeah, and then..."
Lin Youxi thought about it, "And then make a three-cut flat hairstyle, I don't know if the barber shop will do it."
"Isn't this the black-haired, Japanese-style chaebol beauty that Fang has been obsessed with recently? You are even more of a lady than a lady! You have the desire to please Fang written all over your face!"
Xia Yuan immediately cried out that he had been cheated, but Liu Xiaoyu seemed accustomed to it.
After all, she is Lin Youxi, so nothing she does is strange...
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi followed Liu Xiaoyu to the shop where she had her hair done before. Although the shop was not far from the school, the decoration of the shop was very high-end and the average expenditure per person seemed to be not small. There were actually not many students doing their hair inside, but there were still quite a few people.
"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect Xiaoyu to be good at exploring stores..."
"It was also recommended to me by a fellow villager in my class. I thought that I should take good care of my hair and not treat myself too badly."
Liu Xiaoyu now pays for his own living expenses and tuition fees. After all, he has been making music and games with Xia Yuan and others, and he recently officially started working as an intern. His living standard has improved, and his style has gradually improved as well.
In addition to this, she would also secretly send money to her mother - Xiaoyu's father had a strong sense of self-esteem, so she would just give the money to her mother to save for herself, and she was also afraid that her father would find out.
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi arrived at the store and were warmly greeted by a young lady as soon as they entered the door. She introduced herself as the store's foreman, "Two young ladies, please come in! Do you want a haircut, or a perm or dye job?"
"I want to get a perm."
"I'm going to get it straightened and then trimmed."
Liu Xiaoyu waved her hand, "I don't need it... I'll keep them company. I also got my hair done here."
"Yeah, you can tell it's our shop's craftsmanship! The hair is permed so beautifully. Of course, it's also because you are beautiful, little sister. The three of you look like big stars, haha."
As Lin Youxi spoke, she began to tease him and pushed Xia Yuan to the front. "Tell me, who do you think she looks like?"
"Ah... that's the one that's very popular recently, that virtual idol... Yuan-chan or something! Have you watched Station C? This electronic idol is very popular recently, and your voice sounds quite similar."
Of course it does... it's synthesized using my voice...
But why didn’t I recognize Yuan Baolai? I was replaced by that virtual idol instead…
The virtual idol plan is the part that Xia Yuan emphasized in the Fang Plan product launch conference. Recently, the debut promotion of Yuanjiang, a two-dimensional "artificial intelligence" idol virtualized based on Xia Yuan's two-dimensional image, has been vigorously promoted.
Of course, everyone understands that the so-called artificial intelligence is just played by the actor behind the scenes. There is actually something to say about Yuan-chan's "middle man". On the one hand, Xia Yuan wants to play himself in order to maintain the unity of his character.
However, Mei Fang believes that this will put too much work pressure on her and she may be too busy, so she prefers to recruit a full-time actor who has a personality similar to Xia Yuan but has his own characteristics to play the role of Zhong Zhi Ren. However, this has not been finalized yet.
But no matter what, many streets and alleys in Pengcheng are now occupied by Yuanjiang's two-dimensional image posters. Just walking along this road, you will encounter several posters.
"Okay, okay, please wait here for a moment. Do you have an appointment with a teacher?"
"No, this is our first time here, just pick whoever you think is suitable..."
"Let the most skilled female hairdressing director here come."
Lin Youxi paused and said, "My boyfriend loves me very much. If a male teacher does it, he will definitely be jealous, so don't do it."
"Ah... OK, I roughly understand your needs. I'll go arrange a teacher right away."
After the receptionist left, Xia Yuan couldn't help but complain about Lin Youxi, "When did Ah Fang say that... You really like to add character to Ah Fang."
"We are more or less public figures now. If we are photographed inappropriately, it will definitely be hyped up. I am not a star, so it doesn't matter, but it's not the same for you, Yuanyuan... After all, you are a star, and there will still be paparazzi and so on."
"Hearing what you said, I was indeed a little less vigilant..."
"So you should just have a bob haircut. It's good to be a cute and obedient little girl, isn't it?"
"I don't want to!"
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi each completed their transformation under the careful care of the teachers. When they paid the bill and were about to leave, the female supervisor took the initiative to ask about their service experience:
"How about it, are you satisfied with your look?"
"Very good, your store is of very high standard."
"I think it's pretty good too... hehe."
At the suggestion of the hairdresser, Xia Yuan finally got big waves with pink highlights. While the overall style became more mature, it still retained a hint of cute sweetness.
"I like this highlight, it feels great."
"It would be great if you two like it."
The female supervisor nodded and smiled, then took out a small notebook and handed it to Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan.
"If you don't mind... could you please sign for me here?"
"Forehead… "
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi looked at each other, and the female supervisor immediately made a gesture to keep quiet, and then whispered, "I actually recognized you a long time ago... But you definitely don't like being disturbed, right?"
"It's great that you understand..."
Lin Youxi liked the foreman's understanding, and took the foreman's notebook with a smile:
"Since you've recognized us, why don't you ask your store manager to take a photo with us? This will be good for your business, right?"
"Uh... that will still cause trouble to you. Wouldn't it be inconvenient for you to come here in the future?"
The female supervisor smiled and handed over a Supreme VIP hairdressing card to Lin Youxi, "My name is Zhu Xixi, I hope you two, and this little sister, can come to our shop often in the future!"
"Yes, you know how to do business."
"Then I'll sign it for you..."
Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan signed for Zhu Xixi, and then she put the book away contentedly. After exchanging contact information with the two, she smiled and waved at the three of them, "Make an appointment with our store next time you have a chance! If it's not convenient, our teacher can also come over to do a custom hairstyle for you."
"OK... That's a good idea."
Lin Youxi, Xia Yuan and Liu Xiaoyu went back together. On the way, Xia Yuan was still a little confused.
"Since you've recognized us, why don't you take a photo with us? This thing should be very attractive if it's hung on a promotional poster..."
“She’s a fan first and an employee second.”
"It should be more fun to keep a secret meeting with my favorite idol than to make a little extra money, right? After all, she is just an employee, and the commission may not be that much; and if she forces us to take a photo together, we may not agree. It would be safer to think about some cooperation after we have a good relationship with her."
“Indeed, that makes sense… If they just asked me to take a photo with them and asked me to agree to hang it in the store, I would be a little bothered.”
Xia Yuan said with emotion, "I feel that the foremen of this kind of hair salon are very smart and good at doing business. I don't have such a brain."
"You don't have to have such a mindset... We do different jobs, and the most important thing is to play the role of our respective identities and positions..."
As Lin Youxi was talking, her cell phone suddenly rang. At the same time, Xia Yuan's cell phone also vibrated. Liu Xiaoyu saw that Mei Fang made a video call to both of them.
Then Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi hung up the phone tacitly. They looked at each other, and then Lin Youxi took the initiative to call Mei Fang back and turned on the speakerphone so that Xia Yuan could hear it too.
"Hello."
Mei Fang's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Aren't you guys going to get your hair cut? Why aren't you back so late?"
"Missed me?"
"Well... I'm alone at home, feeling lonely, empty and cold. You and Yuanyuan should come back soon."
"Xiaoyu is also next to me."
Lin Youxi smiled at Liu Xiaoyu who was feeling embarrassed beside her. Mei Fang was also embarrassed when he heard the news.
"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier..."
"It's okay, we'll just do a little styling and be back in a bit."
"Shall I pick you up by car?"
"I've already left the school and am almost at the gate of the community."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you two at home."
"Wait, Ah Fang! Baibaibaibai, mua."
After Xia Yuan and Mei Fang had a sweet interaction, Lin Youxi also hung up the phone. At this time, Liu Xiaoyu gestured to the side and said, "My hair is done now. I'll go to the supermarket outside to buy some daily necessities and then go back first."
"Since you've come this far, why not come to our house and play?"
Lin Youxi said, "You are going to make music for a new project, why don't you play our game?"
"Next time... Next time, come with Bingbing. They have a ball game today and don't have time to come. I don't have class tomorrow, so I'll ask Bingbing."
"Okay... Then you guys can come together next time."
After Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi said hello and goodbye to Liu Xiaoyu, they crossed the street and entered the residential area. While waiting for the elevator, Xia Yuan couldn't help but play with Lin Youxi's hair.
"I feel like it looks better if it's straightened, woo woo..."
"My hairstyle doesn't suit you. You look best with big waves like this."
“I want to try it too…”
"Then bring fake fur next time."
Lin Youxi paused, then thought for a moment, "Oh right, how about we make a bet? If we win, I can sleep with Ah Fang alone tonight, and of course, I can sleep with her in a clean and innocent way."
"What are you betting on?" Xia Yuan became interested when he heard that it was Afang's turn.
"How about a bet on who Ah Fang will kiss first when he walks in?"
"Afang is not that perverted..."
"It's a new look after all, so it's normal that I can't help but look at it."
"Then I'll bet on you..."
"Don't be like that. Just bet on yourself." Lin Youxi said seriously, "You have to have confidence in yourself."
"Well... let's take a look then?"
Xia Yuan followed Lin Youxi home with a nervous heart. Just as she was about to open the door, Mei Fang took the initiative to open it.
"Let me see my wives are, are--whoa, whoa!"
When Mei Fang saw Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's looks, she was stunned. "How did I pick up a wife from the second dimension? Woohoo... Someone come and tell me this is real, and this isn't a dream!"
"Then... let me tell you?"
As Lin Youxi was speaking, she suddenly came over and kissed Mei Fang.
This operation shocked Xia Yuan.
"Oh my god, you sent it up there yourself!"
There will be a special episode of if6 with Yuan Ding Fang Xi on 520.
