Chapter 170: When I Turned Into a Girl and Asked You What Kind of Girls You Like?
What kind of hairstyle looks good on girls?
Luckily, the silly system is still somewhat thoughtful. It didn’t lock in any specific hairstyle. It didn’t say, “You must use this or that style.”
It just said, “Now it’s time for you to grow long hair, since long hair is one of the signs of being a girl. As for which hairstyle? That’s up to you. Do whatever you want with it.”
So Lin Yibai understood what the system meant. She whispered to herself, “So the system is just making my hair grow faster, giving me long hair, but it doesn’t force me to pick a fixed hairstyle forever.”
After all, things like bob cuts or “melon head” styles used to be trendy. But now? Not many girls wear those anymore. If a girl had a melon head haircut now, people might say she looked outdated.
She got it.
The system wanted her to grow out her hair. It wanted her to look even more feminine.
But there was no rush. Lin Yibai took a shower first. Her hair, which was already longer than what most high school rules allowed, was messy after the wash.
Lin Yibai didn’t really like dealing with hair. If she didn’t look so delicate and cute, she’d even want to cut it shorter.
But her short hair days, those were probably in the past now.
Starting today... no, more accurately, once she made up her mind later, she would probably begin growing it out.
How long would it grow?
Would it become long and flowing, down to her waist?
Would it be princess-style, soft curls at the ends?
Or maybe tied into a bun at the back with a big clip, simple, elegant, and kind of like a married woman?
Lin Yibai leaned on the door frame by the balcony and mumbled, “I don’t know, I really don’t know... Anything’s fine, as long as it’s not too much trouble to take care of... As long as... sigh... sigh...”
She wasn’t an expert on what kind of hairstyle looked good on girls, but she still wanted to share some kind of opinion.
After thinking hard about it, she realized she still didn’t know which style looked best.
Just like she said at the beginning, she really wasn’t an expert on this.
Tch, what a waste of words. If I don’t know, I should just ask someone who does know!
Tap tap tap~
Lin Yibai picked up her phone and typed out a long message. Just as she was about to hit send, she noticed she had opened a chat with her annoying rival.
Since when…
Since when did the first person she wanted to message whenever something came up become him?
Normally, for someone her age, wouldn’t the first person they talk to be one of their dorm brothers?
But the truth was she barely chatted with them now, and she was talking more and more with that annoying rival.
This thought only bothered her for a moment. Then she decided to go ahead and send the message she had typed.
“Hey, what kind of hairstyle do you think looks best on girls?”
Ding-dong~~
Meanwhile, in a fancy apartment in a downtown shopping district...
Xia Changyu was still thinking about how to spend big money to make the girl he loved happy.
The city center might not have everything, but there were definitely tons of luxury brands.
He had gone to a cosmetics store and bought a few big-name products. Just like that, over 10,000 yuan on his card was gone.
Now, he had another question.
Should he just hand over the expensive makeup directly to the girl? Or should he prepare it more carefully first?
Like, maybe put it into smaller, nicer containers?
The first option would give him a huge boost of pride.
As for the second option, it might just show his sincere feelings. Lin Yibai might not even know how expensive or how good those makeup products really are.
While he was thinking about this, he suddenly saw a message from Lin Yibai.
Xia Changyu looked at it and said in surprise, “What kind of hairstyle looks good on girls?”
He honestly had never paid attention to that kind of thing!
Or maybe, it was because with how good-looking Lin Yibai was, even if she shaved her head bald, she might still look like a cute, fairy-like little nun.
Yes, a hairstyle could make someone look better. But for someone like her, it wasn’t the most important part of her beauty.
Xia Changyu thought for a second about her current look, medium-length, slightly messy hair. It was just a little longer than the short hair required by some high schools. But honestly, he didn’t think it looked weird at all.
After looking at her for so long, he felt like no matter how she looked, she always looked good.
So he typed and replied, “Anything’s fine. I think you already look great the way you are.”
Ding-dong~
Lin Yibai waited happily for his answer…
But when she read it, she instantly wanted to punch that annoying love rival!
That kind of answer was worse than no answer at all!
It was just like when someone asks, “What do you want to eat?” and the other person says, “Anything.”
“Ugh! So annoying! Stupid! Love rival!!!”
She was super mad. But she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
After all, she used to be a guy, so she understood guys. Now, she was just teaching one.
Guys often speak directly. That’s normal!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yibai started typing again, this time more patiently.
“I mean, what kind of hairstyle do you like? Like, what kind of long hairstyle on a girl do you think looks nice?”
Ding-dong~
Xia Changyu replied firmly, “I already said, as long as it’s you, any hairstyle will look good. Whatever you choose, you’ll look beautiful.”
Lin Yibai: !!!
Ahhhhh!!
This guy! This annoying love rival!
He still doesn’t get what I mean?!
She didn’t want a generic, copy-paste answer.
She didn’t want one of those “safe” replies that don’t offend anyone but also mean nothing.
But she didn’t want to spell it out too directly either. So she tried another approach.
“Don’t give me that ‘I look best no matter what’ stuff. When a girl asks, ‘What kind of hairstyle do you like on girls?’ What do you think she really means?”
Xia Changyu suddenly got serious. He even stopped paying attention to the makeup bottles in his hands.
A girl asking what hairstyle you like, what does that mean?
Lin Yibai didn’t like being mysterious, and she didn’t want guys to play guessing games either. So this question was already very straightforward, but still had just a little bit of hidden meaning.
Xia Changyu’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be…?
Ding-dong~
Lin Yibai sent another message, shattering his sweet little daydream.
“I plan to grow my hair long. I don’t know what kind of long hairstyle looks nice on girls. Can you… give me a few suggestions?”
After reading it, Xia Changyu suddenly felt, maybe his broken dream wasn’t fully broken after all? Maybe, just maybe, it was slowly coming back together again.
Because when he thought about it carefully...
Why did she ask him?
Could it be that…?
Xia Changyu quickly typed back, “Did you ask a lot of people this question, and I’m just one of them?”
Lin Yibai frowned slightly, not really understanding, “Is that question really that important?”
Xia Changyu replied, “Yes. Very important.”
He wanted to know if he was just one of many, or if he was the only one.
