My Arranged Marriage Partner Has Two Faces 36

Chapter 36

In the end, he didn’t dye his hair. Xi Shi accepted Zhong Yuxiao’s suggestion and got a buzz cut.

There’s a saying that you can tell if a man is handsome by looking at him with a buzz cut.

Xi Shi’s features were delicate, and the buzz cut added a touch of masculinity, accentuating his features and making him look more serious.

Zhong Yuxiao approved. “Very handsome.”

He took a picture and sent it to the group chat, causing another commotion.

[Forever Princess: Wow! Is that Xiao Shi? So handsome!]
[Princess’s Knight: Mm, looks much more energetic.]
[Forever Princess: He looks like a movie star! Our Xiao Shi has the looks, he could debut as a celebrity.]
[Forever Princess: Thumbs up.jpg]

Zhong Yuxiao handed the phone to Xi Shi. “Look, Mom and Dad are praising you.”

Zhong Fu and Zhong Mu were very encouraging, and Xi Shi’s expression softened, finding his new hairstyle a bit more pleasing to the eye.

Just then, another message popped up.

[Big Treasure: What stimulated you?]

“…”

Ugh!

The young master’s face immediately fell, as aggrieved as a two-hundred-pound man.

Zhong Yuxiao sighed inwardly. His brother’s timing was impeccable.

Xi Shi glared at the hairdresser, his tone sarcastic. “Tony Liu? Director? Lincheng’s best? Skilled?”

The hairdresser shrank his neck, looking guilty, not daring to refute.

“How dare you?”

“Sorry, it’s my first time cutting this hairstyle. It looked simple in the video, I thought…” The hairdresser was on the verge of tears. “Sir, I’ll give you a free haircut, this one’s on the house!”

“Do you think I care about your measly money?”

The young master was so angry his nose was crooked. He wanted to throw money at him, but he thought it was too wasteful. After thinking about it, he took out his phone. “I’m going to report you, this is false advertising, I’m going to sue you for fraud and personal injury!”

He had never been so humiliated!

“No, please! Sir, have mercy, our shop just opened two days ago, I really didn’t mean to ruin your hair.” The hairdresser was about to cry.

Just opened two days ago, and he had the nerve to brag?

Xi Shi was so angry he laughed. “Aren’t you the director?”

Zhong Yuxiao interjected, “There only seem to be two people in the shop.”

One was the hairdresser in front of them, and the other was the receptionist who greeted them earlier.

Xi Shi: “…”

“Why didn’t you remind me?”

Zhong Yuxiao looked innocent. “I did remind you, you said it wouldn’t look bad even if it went wrong.”

Xi Shi was speechless. After thinking about it, he extended his hand to the terrified hairdresser. “You guys offer memberships, right? Give me a free haircut card.”

Zhong Yuxiao was shocked, looking at him as if he was crazy. “You still plan to come back here for a haircut?”

The hairdresser was also surprised, his eyes showing a hint of admiration and joy at being recognized. “Yes, I’ll get it right away. Sir, I’ll give you a few more, you can come anytime.”

Xi Shi took the haircut card and only explained after they left the shop. “This card is for You Jiayu.”

“Hmm?”

What did this have to do with You Jiayu?

“If it weren’t for You Jiayu sending me that emoji, I wouldn’t have saved it, and if I hadn’t saved it, my hand wouldn’t have slipped and sent it to the group chat, and if my hand hadn’t slipped, I would have looked at the hairstyle picture carefully – in conclusion, if it weren’t for You Jiayu, my hair wouldn’t be ruined.”

Zhong Yuxiao was dumbfounded.

That worked?!

Xi Shi immediately called You Jiayu. “I want him to experience it too.”

Zhong Yuxiao sighed. “It’s not easy for You Jiayu to remain friends with you.”

The call connected, and You Jiayu just happened to hear Zhong Yuxiao’s words, so moved that he almost cried. “Second Young Master Zhong is my soulmate!!”

Xi Shi: “…”

You’re done for, I have to recommend this shop to you.

“I found an amazing barbershop, they give great haircuts, and they gave me a haircut card. I’ll give you one.”

Xi Shi was handsome and had often received gifts since he was young, so You Jiayu didn’t suspect anything. “I just got a haircut not long ago.”

“Regular trims are essential for maintaining handsomeness.” Xi Shi lied smoothly, his words flowing effortlessly. “Do you know why so many people like me? It’s because I’m handsome, because I take good care of myself.”

“Does Zhong Er like you?”

“…”

Are you never going to let this go?

Zhong Yuxiao put his arm around Xi Shi’s shoulder, leaning close to his ear, clearly hearing their conversation.

He chuckled. “Do you think I like him?”

You Jiayu: “…”

Ugh! Lovebirds!

Caught off guard by the public display of affection, You Jiayu was indignant. “So you two are showing off your love in front of me?”

Who did he offend?

“I can’t help it if you think that way.”

“…”

“Get lost!”

The call was disconnected.

Zhong Yuxiao raised his eyebrows. “It seems you didn’t manage to give away your haircut card.”

“No rush.” Xi Shi was confident. “One, two, three—”

His phone rang. It was You Jiayu.

“Send me the address.”

The haircut card was successfully given away.

After hanging up, Zhong Yuxiao was impressed. “As expected of you.”

The master of setting people up.

“If I don’t set him up, should I set you up?” Xi Shi glanced at him and snorted. “I can’t bear to let you be shaved bald by that unscrupulous hairdresser with me.”

Before Zhong Yuxiao could feel touched, the young master added, “After all, you’re not as handsome as me, a buzz cut might not look good on you.”

Zhong Yuxiao: “…”

Heh.

His hair ruined, the young master was extremely upset. He didn’t let the hairdresser wash his hair and rushed into the bathroom as soon as they got home.

The package that arrived earlier was still at the door. Zhong Yuxiao carried it inside and disinfected it.

“Xi Shi, your package arrived.”

“What package?”

“I don’t know, it was delivered earlier, your contact information was on it.”

“I didn’t buy anything.” The bathtub was full of water, and Xi Shi took off his clothes, saying casually, “Open it and see, it might be strawberries. My grandfather’s friend grows strawberries and sends a few boxes to the old residence every year. He might have sent them here directly this year.”

It was strawberry season.

Xi Shi swallowed.

He didn’t have a sweet tooth like Zhong Yuxiao, but he loved strawberries. When Xi Yue was still alive, she would take him to pick strawberries at the farm every year.

“Their strawberries are delicious, try them, and send some to your parents later.”

“Okay.”

So he really liked strawberries.

But the package didn’t look like it contained strawberries.

Zhong Yuxiao pondered, took a knife, and opened the package, his eyes darkening.

This was…

With a buzz cut, there was no need to dry his hair. Xi Shi came out of the bath with his hair already dry. He touched his head, feeling a bit unaccustomed.

“Is it strawberries?”

“Yes, but…”

In the living room, Zhong Yuxiao sat on the carpet, holding a piece of sheer fabric, slowly unfolding it. “These strawberries seem inedible and not suitable for giving to Mom and Dad.”

The bright light clearly illuminated the strawberry print on the sexy lingerie.

The sofa and table were covered with all kinds of lingerie, different colors, different styles, but each piece felt strangely familiar.

Xi Shi’s pupils constricted, and only two words remained in his mind – I’m screwed.

Fuck, he forgot about this!

“Xi Shi.” Zhong Yuxiao’s eyes flickered, his tone clear and serious. “Do you have a cross-dressing fetish?”
