Haircut

"How strange, why didn't An Shiyu come today?"

After Ye Shuang arrived at the company, he found his office completely quiet, without the usual sight of the two fishes playing on their computers.

The little goldfish on the desk was quietly blowing bubbles, swaying its tail fins in the fish tank.

This was considered one of the longer-living fish. You have to know that the fish in the office were usually replaced as soon as they died—but this goldfish had rarely lasted this long.

After sitting down in his boss's chair, Ye Shuang sat quietly for a while, his gaze following the fish's movements. Perhaps feeling that he had spaced out for too long, he began to handle today's affairs.

"..."

"..."

"..." After about ten minutes, Ye Shuang put down his mouse and rested his face slightly on his hand, looking at the computer next to him.

Isn't it a bit too quiet today?

Will they ever come back?

Or have they had enough fun?

Maybe this isn't bad either, not having anyone playing games next to me and disturbing me...

Hmm...

I should still ask, just in case something happened.

Thinking of this, Ye Shuang took out his phone and sent a message to An Shiyu.

Ye Shuang: Are you not coming to work today? Or are you bored of it?

He waited for a few minutes, but there was no reply.

"Hmm... could she still be in bed?" Ye Shuang glanced at the current time. It was ten in the morning; maybe she was just sleeping in.

"..."

"It really is a bit too quiet."

...

Meanwhile, in a large flat somewhere, two young girls were sitting in front of a floor-to-ceiling mirror, the floor covered in snipped hair.

The short-haired girl wearing a salon cape spoke expressionlessly,

"I am now seriously doubting your technical skills."

"Why? Are you questioning the skills of me, a top-tier stylist?" A voice came from behind. An Shiyi was still holding a small pair of scissors. Perhaps hearing An Shiyu say that, she took another look at the girl in the mirror.

"Didn't you say you wanted a haircut?"

"I just wanted to trim my bangs," An Shiyu said grumpily. If she had known, she wouldn't have bothered.

"Minor issue, I think it looks great. If you're really worried, let me tell you some good news."

"What?"

"Well, we have no shortage of wigs at home." An Shiyi placed her hand on An Shiyu's head and happily made a peace sign.

"Die."

After a brief scuffle with things flying everywhere, An Shiyu simply washed her hair and stood in front of the mirror once again to look at her appearance. Her originally shoulder-length hair had been cut short by about a centimeter, making her look more capable and handsome.

"..."

Then she tilted her head slightly, continuing to adjust the angle, "..."

Is it a bit too short?

Fortunately, her hair grew quite fast, and it would probably recover in about a month.

As expected, creatures like Stylist Tony couldn't be trusted, even if it was An Shiyi.

"You're doubting my skills," An Shiyi said while lying on the floor.

"Then let me take a turn." An Shiyu picked up the scissors from the floor, her eyes falling on the other girl's long hair. "Ever since you got that broom-like hair, you're always complaining about me pressing on it. It's time to deal with it."

"Actually, I quite like my long hair."

Hearing An Shiyi say that, An Shiyu showed a rare smile, the scissors in her hand making a clicking sound. "Is that so? Then it definitely needs to be cut."

In the end, An Shiyi paid the price of two months' pocket money to successfully save her long hair.

After messing around for a while, An Shiyu took out her phone, only to realize that Ye Shuang had sent her a message.

"I completely forgot I had to go to work," An Shiyu said.

"Are you going over now?"

"Forget it." An Shiyu looked away and silently put her phone away. "I'm not in the mood today."

"After all, you have to see your beloved Ye Shuang, and having shorter hair is just too embarrassing, suki, daisuki..."

"If you keep dubbing me with that nonsense, I'll shave your broom head bald." An Shiyu picked up the scissors with a fake smile.

...

In the end, the two fishes chose to drive to the academy, making a very rare appearance in the classroom.

"Yo." It happened to be between classes. An Shiyu sat in her seat but noticed that not far away, Tang Keke's fingers were typing furiously, as if she were replying to something.

"Little Yu, why are you wearing a hat?" Taozi, who was beside her, asked curiously.

"I got cancer and lost all my hair from chemotherapy." An Shiyu lowered her eyes, her tone extremely gloomy.

"Ah?" Taozi froze for a moment and asked worriedly, "Can it be treated?"

"..." Seeing that Taozi believed her so easily, An Shiyu fell silent for a moment, feeling a bit bored, and just waved her hand.

"Just joking, you're a bit no fun."

Taozi: OvO?

"Then what is Big Backpack doing?" An Shiyu asked, resting her face on her hand. Looking at Tang Keke's posture, it seemed like she was about to shove her head into her phone.

"Oh, because someone in the academy is spreading rumors about Yuyou." Taozi explained the general situation and then opened her own phone to show An Shiyu the forum post.

"Is that so?" An Shiyu, still resting her face on her hand, lazily tapped on the post to read it.

Seeming to find it a bit boring, she said, "What a bunch of boring guys, and a bunch of brainless fools blindly following the trend."

They get easily manipulated by things taken out of context, just like uncivilized animals.

At this time, An Shiyu also noticed Tang Keke's replies, fighting a war of words against the masses in the post's comment section.

Tang Keke had also made a post, which included screenshots of everyone's Light Music Club performance.

"Hmph, trying to flame me, are your moms wholesale?" Tang Keke seemed much more talkative online than in reality, and An Shiyu tapped into Tang Keke's profile to take a closer look.

Yellow badge in the Sun Forum, yellow badge on Bilibili, yellow badge in the 2D Anime Joke Forum...

Right at this moment, Tang Keke suddenly exclaimed, "Wow! The moderators actually deleted my evidence post!"

Perhaps because Tang Keke was too good at flaming, and since one of the people stirring up trouble was a junior moderator, she was directly restricted.

"Do you think I don't have alt accounts?" Tang Keke directly switched accounts to continue her war of words.

But obviously, it didn't take long before she was restricted again.

"I'm so mad! They did something wrong, and when they can't win the argument, they just mute people!" Tang Keke said angrily.

"What's the use of flaming people?" An Shiyu said nonchalantly from the side.

"When did you get here?" Tang Keke seemed a bit unhappy. "Am I supposed to just watch silently while Yuyou gets smeared? Look, there are even dirty rumors!"

"So weak."

"You do it if you're so capable!" Tang Keke immediately retorted.

"Tch." An Shiyu looked indifferent, then logged into her own account.

Yellow badge in the Sun Forum, yellow badge in the Aircraft Carrier Forum, yellow badge in the Yinshan Forum...

"They'll just mute you." Tang Keke leaned over to watch, feeling that An Shiyu wouldn't last more than a few seconds either.

"It's fine."

"Why, do you have a lot of alt accounts?"

"No, I'm the head moderator."

Tang Keke: ?
