Quick Transmigration: Host, Please Be a Mute Beauty

Shu Xiaoli raised her head, her eyes filled with emotions she had never shown before, less timid. "Jiang Qiao, do you know? I really like you now, but the you from before... I can't forget you either."

Jiang Qiao felt a stinging pain in her throat, as if something was stuck there. She didn't know why Shu Xiaoli was saying these things, but as she heard them, many guesses slowly surfaced.

She did not respond to Shu Xiaoli.

Shu Xiaoli smiled calmly, a hint of tears glistening in her left eye, "...Jiang Qiao can't come back anymore, is that right?"

Jiang Qiao knew that the name she was referring to was that of the original owner of the body.

"I think so... How did you know?"

Jiang Qiao doesn't have many memories of her and Shu Xiaoli.

Shu Xiaoli pulled Jiang Qiao forward, "You probably don't know, but before Jiang Qiao came to Class 7, I had already been targeted by Shen Feiwan and her two friends. That day, Ye Qingqing was going to take me to the old teaching building. I knew very well what they were going to do. I was really scared at the time, but when Jiang Qiao came, Shen Feiwan changed who she was going to bully..."

At this point, Shu Xiaoli choked up and even shed tears of blood. "You don't know how lucky I was back then. After Jiang Qiao came, Shen Feiwan seemed to have forgotten about me. I thought I had avoided this disaster, but... the disaster was not avoided, it was just transferred. Jiang Qiao was accidentally killed by Shen Feiwan... Even though everyone knew that Shen Feiwan did it, no one in the class was willing to testify!"

After hearing all that she said, Jiang Qiao guessed that she remembered everything from before her reincarnation. "But you helped her, didn't you?"

"Ha, I did help her." Shu Xiaoli smiled bitterly, "So I'm next, Shen Feiwan's next target is me!"

"Actually, I think I deserve it too. I was lucky when Jiang Qiao was being bullied, luckily it wasn't me! If it weren't for Jiang Qiao, I might be the one who died. So... I've been silently observing her. She's just as insecure and timid as I am, even more so. I know she's not loved by her parents, she's starved for love, I know she hates chemistry, I know everything she's afraid of..."

“You are different from her, and perhaps I am different from you. No matter what happens between us, we will never become like you. I can tell at a glance that you are not her.”

"You have your own ideas, you live for yourself, you are determined and strong, I really admire you..."

Shu Xiaoli's eyes seemed to hold both anger and sadness as she calmly recounted everything...

Jiang Qiao suddenly hugged her, and they embraced tightly, as if they were the closest friends in the world. "You are fine, you don't need to envy me."

The victim is innocent; the abuser is the one who should go to hell.

Shu Xiaoli hugged her back and said with a smile, "This is the first time someone has said I'm a good person."

……

The two forgot everything that had just happened in silence, and Jiang Qiao took her to Lin Qin'er's hair salon.

Lin Qin'er was still dressed very beautifully, the only flaw being her heavy makeup; her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.

Today is alright, there's no smell of smoke here.

Lin Qin'er remembered Jiang Qiao, the girl with the outdated hairstyle. She casually put down the scissors, swayed her hips, and greeted her, "You're here again. What brings you here today?"

The tone was neither warm nor cold, but mostly impatient.

Jiang Qiao took a step to the right, revealing the person behind her, and said with a smile, "Give her a suitable haircut too, I trust your skills the most on this street."

Lin Qin'er rolled her eyes slightly, exposing her lie, "Tch~ Stop flattering me, I'm the only barbershop on this street."

Jiang Qiao: Huh? 凸^-^凸

"Alright, let your friend come over!" Lin Qin'er couldn't help but complain when she saw Shu Xiaoli's thick bangs. "What kind of aesthetic is this? Are thick bangs trendy now? How tacky!"

He then pulled Shu Xiaoli to the shampoo chair.

Jiang Qiao couldn't refute it, after all, what she said was right.

That's so tacky!!!

Jiang Qiao thought to herself, "Luckily, this is the only barbershop on this street. Otherwise, with Lin Qin'er's attitude of not treating customers like gods, it would be difficult to have repeat customers."

It must be said that although Lin Qin'er has a bit of a temper, her skills are still on point; the scissors danced in her hands, looking very professional.

"Don't you have class today? Which high school are you from?" Lin Qin'er asked them curiously.

Jiang Qiao, having nothing to do while sitting there, joined in the conversation, "I skipped class at Qing Teng No. 1 Middle School."

"Oh, No. 1 High School, the best high school. You guys look pretty smart, so what, even the good students skip class?"

"So what if you're a good student? So what if you're a bad student? Aren't we all just human? Can't we just run away whenever we want?"

Lin Qin'er had taken a liking to this girl. Back then, she was considered a troublemaker and a bad student by her teachers, so she dropped out of school early to become an apprentice. With this skill, she opened a barbershop.

"If you can't keep up with the learning, I'd be happy for you to become my apprentice. You can earn quite a bit each month."

Jiang Qiao's forehead creased with three black lines. "Do you know what you're doing? You're poaching employees from the most promising Fortune 500 company. But you're alright here, so I'll reluctantly agree! If I can't make it here, I'll come work for you."

Lin Qin'er said something else, and with a tremor of her hand, cut off a small clump of Shu Xiaoli's hair.

Shu Xiaoli noticed her stiff movements and turned to ask, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qin'er wouldn't allow herself to be tainted in her career. She turned Shu Xiaoli's head back and said, "It's okay, don't move around."

Jiang Qiao: Okay, I didn't see anything...

Actually, you can start a conversation with any girl you like. After chatting for so long, Jiang Qiao was quite happy.

They talked a lot more. Lin Qin'er is a straightforward person, and she would say a little about everything when they started chatting.

Jiang Qiao knew that Yu Can, the man who had harassed Lin Qin'er last time, was a lazy bum who sponged off his parents. He often came to Lin Qin'er's hair salon and gradually fell in love with her, but his methods of pursuing her were very underhanded, involving coercion and enticement.

Lin Qin'er had no plans to date or get married. Even if she did, she wouldn't want to date such a scoundrel. Besides, she was attracted to good looks. Lin Qin'er seriously rejected him, but Yu Can seemed to be obsessed with her and would harass her every now and then.

Jiang Qiao happened to run into me last time.

Speaking of this, Lin Qin'er was like a bomb going off, she kept talking and cursing Yu Can mercilessly.

After an unknown amount of time, Shu Xiaoli's hair was finally cut.

Shu Xiaoli has a round face, which suits a layered hairstyle. Lin Qin'er's skills are indeed on point; her hair was cut to collarbone level with perfect layers. Most importantly, she finally got rid of the thick bangs, revealing her round eyes.

It looks more ethereal now.

Lin Qin'er was satisfied. "Not bad."

Shu Xiaoli smiled shyly, "Thank you."

Lin Qin'er: "You're welcome. I'll give you a discount, forty!"

Jiang Qiao: "Why am I eighty?"

Lin Qin'er packed her things away and put them back in their place. "No, it's nothing. I'll charge whatever you feel like."

Jiang Qiao: ...
