Chapter 67 Getting a buzz cut
Chapter 67 Getting a buzz cut
"No, Lao Lin, you have to persuade Lao Liang, can't you save my beautiful hair? Are you still the people's leader?"
"I'm sorry everyone, I'm just the vice class monitor, I don't have that much say."
After Lin Ye finished speaking, everyone realized that, yes, Lin Ye was just a minor vice class monitor. Then they immediately turned their attention to Ye Yihan next to them. After seeing Ye Yihan, whose head only reached Lin Ye's waist and chest, everyone was completely desperate. At this moment, they clearly realized that their hair was doomed.
"Alright, that's Lao Liang's instruction. Everyone, remember to get a haircut when you get back. I heard our school rules are quite strict, so it's best not to try to challenge them."
After saying these words indifferently, Lin Ye sighed and prepared to leave the school.
Seeing Lin Ye like this, the fat man blocked him, his solid body completely blocking the doorway.
"You're just leaving like this? Aren't you going to try and fight for it?"
"I already said, I'm just the vice class monitor, what can I do!"
"Is the vice squad leader any better? Why don't you dare fight Lao Liang? I hate how blockhead you are!"
Lin Ye did not answer and continued walking towards the door.
"Where exactly are you going?"
"Get a haircut."
After saying that, Lin Ye left without looking back, his back view appearing tragic and heroic no matter how you looked at it.
After Lin Ye's figure completely disappeared, the classmates continued chatting.
"You know what, Lin Ye is quite good at abstract art; he's a pretty good actor in sitcoms."
Big Fatty quickly chimed in, "This is all thanks to my enthusiastic participation. But it looks like I really am going to have to cut my hair. Everyone's getting buzz cuts, so it should be fine."
"Indeed, everyone has become uglier, which is the same as no one becoming uglier."
As soon as Lin Ye stepped out of the school gate, he saw a barbershop at the school entrance displaying a sign that said "8 yuan per person for a buzz cut." The sign was made of a rotten wooden board that looked like it had been used for many years, and the writing on it was a bit blurry. This promotion must have started several years ago.
"Whatever, dying sooner or later is the same. Besides, there's no need to queue now, let's just go."
Thinking about it, Lin Ye walked into the barbershop. The shop owner was a man in his fifties.
"Handsome guy, you're getting a buzz cut, right?"
Lin Ye nodded without saying anything.
Seeing Lin Ye's expression, the boss wasn't angry. He knew that the student must be very sad right now.
"Don't worry, handsome, I've been cutting my hair short for years, and your head shape is perfect for it."
The boss started working as he spoke.
"Boss, don't start yet! Shouldn't you wash it first?"
"No need, no need, don't worry, I guarantee I'll give you the perfect buzz cut."
As the boss spoke, he shoved a tuft of hair off Lin Ye's forehead, instantly turning Lin Ye's face into a mask of pain.
In just five minutes, a perfect buzz cut appeared in the mirror.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Ye felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
"Is this really me? I look so ugly!"
He was internally ranting and raving, but he didn't say a word. He just silently transferred eight yuan to his boss, planning to go home and cry his heart out.
Actually, Lin Ye looked pretty good after getting a buzz cut. He was a handsome guy with a rugged appearance. After all, he was already over 70 points in terms of looks, and his temperament and physique were not bad either. You could say that if he went out now, he could still outshine 99% of boys his age. It's just that he's not used to seeing him like that now.
"Ugh, I'm at my wit's end. You need to really improve my looks, or all my fans will leave!"
After returning home, Lin Ye did not cook for himself. Instead, he ordered a braised chicken, a braised eggplant, and three servings of rice, intending to use food to ease his current mood.
Soon, the takeout arrived. However, upon opening the takeout, Lin Ye discovered that there were actually three sets of tableware inside.
"What do you mean! Did you think I ordered a three-person portion?!"
While getting angry, he poured the broth from the braised chicken onto his rice. Of course, this scene was recorded and used as material.
Looking at the camera in front of him, Lin Ye began to think about his future plans.
Should I go to a regular university or pursue an arts career?
After all, he now has a popularity-based lottery system, and judging from the current situation, the rewards from this prize pool are quite good. Sometimes, even drawing once yields more rewards than completing a weekly task.
However, since he stopped climbing the mountain, his popularity has grown much more slowly, and it's only around 90,000 points now. Of course, if Lin Ye were to release some of the conflicts that happened in the mountain city and create a buzz, he should be able to gain some more traffic.
But doing that would inevitably leave others with the impression that you like to fight, which is really not a good thing.
He didn't want Ms. Huang and Lao Lin to know about this.
"Never mind, it's fine as things are developing naturally like this."
As he was thinking, his phone received another message.
[Teacher Daxue: Yezi, where are you? Let's go out for dinner tonight. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm also a student at No. 1 Middle School.]
Lin Ye was stunned when he saw the message.
[Lin Ye: Really? Xuezi, what class are you in?]
[Teacher Daxue: I'm in Class 1.]
[Lin Ye: Wow, this is the Rocket Class! They're really talented, Teacher Da Xue.]
[Teacher Daxue: It'll do. This is easy for me. What class are you in?]
[Lin Ye: Class 9, Long-lasting.]
[Teacher Daxue: Class 9 is Class 9! Why keep calling it "Long-lasting Class 9"?! And now you're doing this stupid thing again!]
[Lin Ye: So what? What can you do?]
...
After a brief chat with Teacher Daxue, Lin Ye went to the mirror, touched his buzz cut, and found it a bit prickly, but honestly, it felt pretty good.
Then he looked at his wardrobe. Although he had just bought clothes not long ago, he still didn't have enough. Lin Ye felt that he needed to upgrade his outfit a bit. After all, he had money now and didn't need to be so frugal.
Thinking about it, he immediately went out and started searching for clothes that suited him. His hairstyle had changed, and he had gone from looking like a cute puppy to a wolf-like type, so he also needed to choose some cool-looking clothes.
He has a pretty good physique, so if possible, he should choose clothes that are well-fitting and flatter his figure. Generally speaking, short T-shirts and long pants, or long T-shirts and shorts, as long as the colors aren't too outrageous, it's fine.
With his current aesthetic sense, it's actually hard for him to make a mistake. Thinking this, he quickly arrived at a commercial street near the school, where he could see that there were quite a few students strolling around.
Soon, he saw a large group of people gathered in front of him, seemingly engaged in some activity.
Lin Ye's gossip-loving nature quickly awakened, and he hurriedly went over to join in.
"Alright, anyone else want to try? If you can lift this dumbbell with one hand, we'll give you a 500 yuan reward on the spot. Girls can use both hands."
