Chapter 190: Her Rival Also Wants Her to Become His Wife
What kind of girl makes a good girlfriend?
It's simple, just think like you think, become what you want to become, and transform into the kind of girl you like.
Lin Yibai had thought many times that if she had a girlfriend, when she finished washing her hair, she would gently lift her hair, dry it, and style it in the way she liked.
But, unfortunately, she didn’t have a girlfriend and instead she was the one who became a girl.
After washing her hair, she, like before, rubbed her hair hard with a towel, trying to dry it.
But everyone knows, the longer the hair, the harder it is to dry, and the more you rub, the more hair falls out.
She opened her “Good Girlfriend” notes she had made before. It clearly said it’s okay to sometimes complain about little things to the guy you like!
It’s okay to be a little weak, and not always strong.
So, holding the towel full of fallen hair, she gave it to Xia Changyu and complained, “Changyu, look, look... so much hair fell out. Am I going to become bald someday?”
Her voice was a little like she was being cute and playful, which made Xia Changyu feel a strong desire to protect her.
He gently brushed his hand over the girl's still-wet hair, enjoying the delicate warmth beneath his fingertips. The simple act brought him an almost overwhelming joy.
After a while, he comforted her seriously, “It’s normal to lose some hair. I see every time you dry your hair, you rub it around wildly, no wonder it falls out.”
Lin Yibai covered her mouth and said a little sadly, “If I’m not rubbing wildly, then how should I dry it?”
“Well, you can dry it gently with your hands!”
Lin Yibai looked at him with hopeful eyes, "How do you dry it gently?"
Xia Changyu scratched his head nervously, “Well... well... you dry it lightly, gently like that!”
He was also flustered, his mouth a bit clumsy, as if he couldn't quite explain himself clearly. Then, wanting to prove that his theoretical viewpoint was correct, he became anxious.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Maybe the “right way to dry hair” wasn’t the real point here?
Lin Yibai gave him the towel and said sweetly, “Since you’re so good at it, how about you dry my hair for me?”
Xia Changyu suddenly understood.
Ah, that was what she really wanted!
A smart and cute girl doesn’t have to say everything out loud. Now she just asked, and he just had to agree or not.
Taking the towel that smelled nice, Xia Changyu couldn’t stop smiling like a silly boy.
He gently touched her still wet hair, rubbed it softly with the towel to dry it, then used the hairdryer on the cool summer setting, skilled like he was styling his wife’s hair.
Feeling the smooth hair slip through his fingertips, he couldn't help but said, “Your hair has grown a lot!”
Lin Yibai said, “Isn’t that even better?”
Xia Changyu didn’t understand, “Why do you say that?”
Lin Yibai paused, then smiled playfully, “Perfect! Then you can style it... um, the way you like it!”
Hairstyle that he liked?
What he truly likes is her as a person. Besides, with her beauty, even a messy, unkempt hairstyle would look good on her. So no extra decoration is needed.
He styled her bangs, tied a bow at the ends of her hair, clipped a hairpin near her ear, making her look fresh and beautiful.
Then he helped touch up her makeup, making her pale face look rosy, and her red lips very attractive.
Glug-glug~
Xia Changyu swore he was just trying a little, casually fixing the girl’s hair and putting on some makeup.
But it was too tempting. He couldn’t help swallowing hard, like he was doing something wrong.
Just by looking at his reaction, Lin Yibai knew she probably looked pretty good right now. Still, she teased him softly and asked,
“What’s wrong? Do I look so good that I make you hungry?”
Xia Changyu said, “Very hungry.”
Lin Yibai shrugged and tilted her head. The bright sun outside the window shone through the curtain like a soft, blurry light covering her, making her look lazy and very charming.
He felt like a strong ox that could plow a hundred acres of land in one go.
No, not a hundred acres. At least plow this one perfect piece of land in front of him a hundred times.
Lin Yibai knew her rival was very ‘hungry’, so she stopped teasing him and stretched, saying,
“As your temporary boyfriend for 24 hours, do you have any plans? Are you going to work, make big money, become successful, or... just go shopping with me?”
After she said that, she showed off the few pieces of boys’ clothes she was wearing that belonged to Xia Changyu, as if complaining, ‘Look, I’m still wearing your clothes!’
Of course, she never forced him. This kind of thing has to be voluntary, understand?
With wide, innocent eyes she said quietly, “If you don’t want to go shopping with me, it’s okay.”
Xia Changyu: “?”
The girl glanced at the girls’ clothes hanging high on the balcony and said, “Just give me back the clothes I wore yesterday.”
But he just washed them, so how could he return them?
And what about work, making big money, becoming successful? Forget that!
Even if the king himself came, his small startup would go bankrupt this afternoon.
Today, he wanted to spend all his time with the girl in front of him.
No more talk. If you’re impatient, Xia Changyu is even more impatient!
He stood up right away to get ready to go out.
Then he heard the girl's suppressed giggles, and she asked, “You’re in such a hurry, where are you going?”
Xia Changyu glared and said, “Didn’t we say we’re going shopping?”
Lin Yibai looked outside at the bright sun and asked, “Now?”
Xia Changyu said, “Yes, now, right away, immediately.”
Lin Yibai: ......
Wow, the girlfriend lessons she did last night seem to be working!
At least they helped get the guy motivated.
In other words, she was very successful at creating that "24-hour temporary girlfriend" vibe.
Maybe it’s time to stop teasing him and take her ‘temporary girlfriend’ duties seriously??
Lin Yibai was still sitting in her chair, thinking that maybe it was enough.
So, she reached out her hand.
Xia Changyu was a little surprised but then understood. He walked over and took her hand gently, then said softly.
“I know a good clothing store. Maybe you can find the clothes you want there.”
She hesitated a little, “Is it expensive?”
He understood her worry and smiled, “Don’t worry, it’s affordable.”
Clearly, it wasn’t just Lin Yibai doing her homework. Xia Changyu had also “put in effort.” He didn’t want the 24-hour romance to be just a nice memory.
He really wanted to make it permanent.
From 24 hours → forever.
