Passing by the guard box at the gate of the community, the glass room illuminated my messy hair.Since I don't need to go to work on time every day, and I don't have to face the probing eyes of my superiors and colleagues, I will occasionally toss this poor hair a few times because I have not yet reached the age of significant hair loss.

With new black hair growing out, I made a quick decision and headed for the nearest barber shop.

Unfortunately, it was around the New Year's Eve, and the sliding doors were full of young and beautiful girls, allowing the barber shop apprentices to put on plastic gloves and hold up the hair bleach that was going to be used on their heads.

Frank held a tray and stirred the hair dye in the container like a creamy soup.It was a very bright color, coupled with his serious expression, it made people think that he was mixing some chemical reagents.

Yo, hair grows pretty fast.He couldn't free his hand, so he pouted his mouth reluctantly, and then looked at me a little embarrassed, you want to come to complement the color, why didn't you let me know in advance on WeChat?You see, I have a lot of people. To be honest, the appointments are full within two days. I can spare half a day for you next week.

It was originally a temporary idea, and I didn't have to sit in the barber chair immediately.I waved at him, don't worry, you are busy with your work.

Frank probably couldn't understand my newly grown half of black hair, so he raised his colorful fingers and pointed to the chest pocket.I froze for a moment, and realized that he asked me to reach in to get something.

"Here, my apprentice went out on his own and opened a new store. It's next to the school. There are probably not many people these days. You can go there now. I'll ask him to give you a discount."

I stared at the simple business card for a few moments.He guessed that I was worried about his apprentice's craftsmanship, and he assured me again and again that he would never use hair color as a feather duster.But I was looking at the inconspicuous line of words under the gaudy store name, and the store address was printed in a regular manner.

Next to the school, it turned out to be next to Xianzhong.

Frank's Amway was very successful, I went to the bus stop by accident, and revisited the route I took when I was in high school.The store is quite easy to find. After getting off the bus, I saw the signboard of Dou Da within 200 meters.It's just a small area, there are six makeup mirrors in total, and there are very few customers, only two middle-aged men are cutting their hair.

Behind the counter appeared a furry bunny, it should be the boss, Frank's apprentice.The little boss is not very old, he looks a few years younger than me, and he is a bit bluffing when he is not smiling with his cropped haircut.When he walked over with a grin, the first impression was completely ruined.

People who can come out and open a shop by themselves will not be so stupid. Frank said hello in advance, and the little boss chatted with me warmly. He turned around and took a complete set of tools. The color selection card was also handed over to me. superior.

Xiaowen seems to be a very honest person, at least it is reflected in the fact that he only has such an extremely simple title, and he doesn't even have the English name that is necessary for Tony.

I pointed to the dark gray in the lower left corner, and Xiaowen immediately praised it. You have a good eye, and this color can be controlled by a young handsome guy. It is just right for you.

A calm face was reflected in the mirror, I smiled in cooperation and started chatting with him.

Xiao Wen smiled innocently, an expression that only belonged to people in love appeared on his face.No wonder he opened the store next to the school, there was a reason for it.Wearing disposable plastic gloves, he double-checked that the potion was applied evenly, and began to tell his love story.

No matter how ordinary a love plot is, if it is told in a sincere and enthusiastic tone, it will add a shining halo.

Coincidentally, I also graduated from Xianzhong.I moved my numb legs and said casually, I should be a few years older than you and your girlfriend.

The things that alumni can talk about are gone, even though the last time I went back to Xianzhong was five years ago.Xianzhong's [-]th anniversary, Shen Xiaowangba was invited to the stage as an outstanding alumnus, his eyes caught thousands of juniors and juniors in the audience, and he incurred countless debts that were buried in his heart.

Lawyers and doctors have one of the biggest commonalities, that is, seniority is the most important thing with red tops and whites.The younger you are, the more people will look down on you, begging grandpa to tell grandma to change to an older industry leader.After graduating from university, the only way to enter a law firm is to start as an intern legal assistant. Most of Shen Lu’s students chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and those who worked without exception went to work as legal counsel in large and small companies, and they could not stand the trial in a law firm.

At the age of twenty, Shen Lu's resume is already unexpectedly beautiful.

After that he got busier, or he didn't have much free time.No one is always idle and running to his alma mater. Sitting under the auditorium five years ago became my last memory of Xianzhong.

If it weren't for the right time and place, I wouldn't be sitting in the barber shop next to the high school and talking nonsense with an alumnus I just met.

Speaking, Shen Lu's call came.

"Baby, you haven't eaten yet. Don't cook. I'll come back in 10 minutes to pick you up and go out to eat." His work has probably ended satisfactorily, with obvious ease in his tone.

I took the phone out a little, and replied: "I cut my hair here at Xianzhong."

Shen Xiaoba has a unique habit, when it comes to things that are out of his control, his first reaction is never to ask questions.This time was no exception, he responded quickly, and didn't ask me why I suddenly went to my alma mater in another district, and asked me to send him a location before hanging up.

Xiaowen said cheerfully, don't delay your meal appointment, just wait another 10 minutes, then go inside to wash and then do a nursing care.The mirror was facing the wall clock on the wall, and I was confronted with the pointer for a few seconds, and then Xiao Wen's newly cropped cropped head took the spotlight.His small movements are very interesting, staring at the time several times in 1 minute.

At 5:[-], the bell rang for the end of get out of class in [-] minutes. Xianzhong is a boarding school, and there will not be a large number of students eager to find food. He is waiting for his girlfriend who teaches music in the second grade of high school.

To be honest, I never thought that the gentle and timid girlfriend that Xiao Wen said would be the girl who opened the door.

Eighteen changes in women's colleges, but the outline model will not change too much after all.Zhu Linlin wore a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, and her eyes quickly fixed on my face under the lenses, she said in surprise, Ruan Yan?

Xiao Wen paused holding the hair dryer for a moment, coincidentally, and then another gust of cold wind blew by, Shen Lu closed the shop door, and stared at the three people in the barber shop, including me.

The four of them were silent for a second at the same time. Perhaps it was Shen Lu and I who appeared at the same time that brought back Zhu Linlin's memories. She was the first to realize, Senior Shen?

Shen Lu nodded subconsciously.

"...Zhu Linlin," I broke the deadlock where she was the only one talking, "Why is he a senior, so he has his full name here?"

Today's chance encounter dates back to my high school days. When I opened the memory valve and remembered things related to Zhu Linlin, I didn't even have enough confidence to speak.

There is no other reason. I remember that the only time I dressed as a woman in my life was attributed to Zhu Linlin, the goddamn head.The little girl is always curious and imaginative, she persuaded the teacher, I naturally want to give this face, so Shen Lu left an indelible evidence of women's clothing in Shen Lu's photo album.

I agreed, the only requirement being that my name and class be kept secret.I still wanted to save face at the time, but they talked to me forcefully for a while, and I was so angry that I almost quit, and even complained about it to Shen Lu.

Fortunately, they didn't go too far. The show was reported collectively at the end. Even though photos and videos were flying all over the sky, under the heavy clothes and makeup, not many people accurately identified the only boy as me.

Shen Lu probably quickly mobilized the memories of his high school days in his mind, and finally remembered Zhu Linlin who had appeared by my side.

I saw him smile.Damn it, Shen Lu must have thought of the scene that day, and the photos taken privately by the president of his famous photography agency sitting in the front row by Fake Gongji.

Zhu Linlin quickly explained the relationship between the three of us, and then chatted routinely about the present and the past, and by the way, scanned each other's WeChat face to face.

"The relationship between you is still so good." Zhu Linlin said politely and sincerely.

Xiao Wen just finished the finishing work and put away the hot hair dryer.I followed to the counter to pay, and after a few pleasantries, I left the barber shop.

As soon as I went out, Shenlu raised his hand and touched my newly colored hair rudely, and said meanly: "It's about the same color as before."

I opened the car door, sat straight into the co-pilot, and asked him while fastening my seat belt, is the lawsuit over?

Well, let’s be right, the judgment of the first instance has come down, and we don’t plan to appeal for the time being.Shen Lu started the engine, turned his head and asked me, baby, what do you want to eat?

I thought about it, and casually mentioned a nearby Japanese grocery store.Shen Lu focused on driving, while I babbled about my experience all morning, it was he who reminded me that I saw the new news that popped up on the phone screen.

Zhu Linlin sent a photo and two short sentences.

——Some time ago, I accidentally found it from an old mobile phone. At that time, I thought it was too good to delete.

——I didn’t expect to meet you today, so I just sent it to you.

There are two protagonists in the picture, one is me clumsily holding up the skirt, the smartphone 11 years ago has not high pixel resolution, and my frown is vaguely captured.Another person stood in the corner that was about to leave the screen, with a school uniform jacket that did not belong to him hanging on his arm, quietly watching me under the light.

During the time that I never noticed, Shen Lu seemed to look at me with such eyes for a long, long time.

I was a little dazed, I tapped the screen with my fingertips, and before I could think of anything to reply, Zhu Linlin sent another message.

——Your performance video has become a treasure among the virtuous, and now some students ask me who is the senior in the video.It's a pity, if Senior Shen hadn't been too prescient and resolutely refused to let your name be announced, otherwise your name might be on the Xianzhong forum every year.
