Chapter 1: Blowing Bubbles in the Civil Affairs Bureau
Cloud City.
A beauty salon.
A hairdresser, with scissors in hand, slightly trembling, asked in a low voice, "Miss Gu, are you sure you want to cut it off?"
Gu YuFei, with a frown, stood up directly, grabbed a pair of scissors and began to cut her long, sleek hair.
The scissors moved and her hair fell.
Lengthy, glossy black hair scattered onto the floor.
Gu YuFei asked, "Do you feel relieved now?"
The hairdresser, scared, kept nodding his head.
Gu YuFei sat back in the chair, closed her eyes, not letting her tears be seen by anyone, bit her lip, and said, "Cut."
About ten minutes later, the hairdresser carefully said, "Miss Gu, it's done."
Gu YuFei opened her eyes, looking at her short haircut in the mirror, her eyes reddening, her tears almost flowing out uncontrollably.
Although she had mentally prepared herself, the sight of the reality dealt a tremendous shock.
Gu YuFei stood up, holding back her tears ready to overflow, simply said, "Take the money from the card."
Then, she turned around and left.
Civil Affairs Bureau.
When Gu Yufei walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau, the place was tremendously quiet. Except for the staff, there were three other figures there. Sitting in front of the staff was that man.
A tight knot formed in Gu Yufei's heart, the resistant feeling she had been suppressing suddenly surged up.
She thought about turning around and fleeing, but her rationality told her she couldn't. She could only move forward, not retreat.
Biting her teeth, Gu Yufei walked straight to the man's side and sat down.
She deliberately chewed her gum loudly, crossed her legs, swinging her body back and forth.
At this moment, an older man came over and lightly pushed Gu Yufei's shoulder, speaking in an unfriendly tone, "Sir, you..."
His sentence paused halfway, the older man looked at Gu Yufei, his tone wavering as he asked, "Miss?"
Gu Yufei stared ahead, without turning her head back, "Steward Huang, do you not recognize me after one day?"
Upon hearing Gu Yufei's voice, a look of shock spread across Steward Huang's face.
Gu Yufei was dressed casually today, complete with a pair of white sneakers and a masculine outfit. Her normally long, shiny black hair was now neatly trimmed, much like a man's haircut.
If it wasn't for her unchanged face, he wouldn't have thought that this person was the young lady of their house!
"Miss...How did you end up like this?" Steward Huang asked in astonishment.
This uproar drew everyone's attention. All eyes turned to Gu Yufei, including that man sitting next to her.
He slowly turned his face, a pair of eyes emitting a profound light, and his pitch-black pupils were like two pure black gemstones.
Those captivating eyes fixed on Gu Yufei.
He saw the woman in front of him, her facial features were very delicate, and her skin was very fair and smooth, just like a porcelain doll. It's just the short hair, coupled with her masculine dressing style, gave people a sense of being a pretty boy.
She was chewing gum, cross-legged, and those slender legs were even swinging, giving off a roguish air.
After a good while, he opened his mouth in a deep and magnetizing voice: "Miss Gu Yufei?"
Gu Yufei's heart skipped a beat. The man's voice was like a bass cannon. Then she turned her head, looking straight into those jet-black pupils. After pausing for two seconds, she said: "That's me."
Upon saying that, Gu Yufei spat out the chewing gum, and blew a big bubble in front of the man.
Pop.
The bubble burst and smeared half of Gu Yufei's face. Following this, Gu Yufei stretched out her tongue and began to lick the chewing gum that had stuck to the corner of her mouth.
