ninety-nine twelve

I couldn't stand Zhang Tianle's urging and nagging all day long, so I finally planned to get my hair cut.

But I need to make it clear that I'm really not a guy who has any obsession with growing his hair. I dilly-dally refused to cut it all because I was too lazy.

The length of my hair now, actually I think it’s okay, it’s just that the bangs are a little longer to cover the eyes, and it takes 20 seconds to blow my hair after taking a shower. Usually when I enter the school gate, I slap my bangs, at most it looks messy , not to the point of being arrested for grooming.But Zhang Tianle seemed to be very dissatisfied with my hair, and urged me to cut it if there was nothing to do, and asked me to change my hairstyle to a more energetic one, instead of looking lazy all day long.

I talked back to him silently in my heart, wanting to say that there is no hairstyle to speak of in school, isn’t it just shaving to be more energetic, a bald head is enough spirit.I really didn't dare to say this to him, I was afraid that he would keep the bald head in mind again, and would encourage me to shave if he had nothing to do in the future, because I couldn't stand talking about it, no, this time it was obvious that I felt that I was still She could be lazy for a while, but was so annoyed by his nagging, she had to compromise and go to the barber shop.

Another reason why I don't want to cut my hair is that the atmosphere in the barber shop is always weird.

Before you are about to enter the door, a row of boys and girls sitting on the side of the door will start to look at you. To serve you, I only have one mouth, and I can’t handle four or five questions at the same time. I am often led in to wash my hair without even saying a word. Sales, I don't think I'm usually stupid, but when I meet these skilled barber shop employees, I'm just losing ground.

In addition, I also found a problem that the concept of consumption is really different for different classes.

This time, Zhang Tianle and I went to a shop that I had never been to. He didn’t intend to cut it himself. I told him not to go. Go wash your hair.

When he finished saying this, I was stunned. The expression on my face was nothing but puzzlement. I glanced at his haircut, which had no hairstyle to speak of, and asked him why he went to the barber shop to wash his hair.Zhang Tianle was probably dumbfounded when he heard my question, and started a moderate debate with me on the matter of "Why don't you have a haircut and go to a barber shop?" Of course, the final conclusion also left me speechless. He said : "Too lazy to wash by myself."

I took another look at this man's perfectly short hair, and sighed in my heart how lazy it is to be too lazy to wash it when it is so short.

The barber shop, for some reason, has an embarrassing magnetic field.It was awkward when I came alone, but when Zhang Tianle came with me, it was double the embarrassment.

Shampoo guy is weird, anyway, I wouldn’t compliment another man who is taller than me, “Wow, you are so tall”, maybe it’s professionalism, after the compliment, I would say “Your hair texture is good Oh", I didn't know how to answer these two sentences, so I smiled at him silently and nodded, and then the man said again: "Are you usually shy?"

Zhang Tianle was next to me, he said: "He is not a shy character, he is a mute."

What he said was followed by my "Fuck", and because I was washing my hair and couldn't move, so the scene was him, his shampoo brother, and my hair shampoo brother. The urge to continue chatting with him and expand the topic made my ears feel a little hot.

The hair stylist is also weird, it's two extremes with the shampoo boy.When I came out after washing my hair, I was glad that I didn’t sit next to Zhang Tianle. The hair stylist put on a cold face and was introduced by my brother. He started blowing my hair roughly dry, huh huh huh huh, and finally regretted the words Ru Jindi asked: "How do you cut it?" Gao Gui was unreasonably indifferent.

Zhang Tianle came out of nowhere and came to me, with a towel pinned behind his collar, and his hair was still dripping with water, so he stood and told the hairstylist how I wanted my hair cut.

"Hey hey," I interrupted him by reaching out and patting him, "this is my hair."

"I just want to give you an opinion. Cut the back of the two sides short, don't move the top, and the length will be trimmed. If it is too short, it won't look good."

I frowned, and said to the barber in the mirror: "Don't listen to him, I'll just cut it short and don't need any hairstyle."

Neither of them listened to me. Zhang Tianle continued to talk about his ideas, while the hair stylist suggested a perm project today. Fortunately, Zhang Tianle, who was out of line, was somewhat modest, so he resolutely rejected it for me.The more I sat in front of the mirror, the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the hair grew on my head, but it was Zhang Tianle who decided how to cut it. The hair stylist probably had a perspective eye, and he saw that Zhang Tianle was the big money maker. Satisfying him seemed to be more important than satisfying me. Satisfaction is stronger.

I reached out and patted Zhang Tianle again, "Hurry up and blow your head off, don't cause trouble for me here."

After he left, the hair stylist took a swivel chair and sat down beside me, and finally asked, "How do I cut it?"

I said, "It's just cut short, normal."

He asked me to bow my head, took the comb and scissors and started cutting from the bottom of the back.

The sound of the scissors rubbing against the hair came from behind, which made my back a little numb, and the hair in front of me hadn't fallen off yet.

"Forget it," I said to the people behind me, "cut it as he said just now."

The cut came out better than I imagined, not as frustrating as I thought, and it didn't look like a hairstyle that could be caught by the teacher at school.After taking off the apron, I looked in the mirror and cleaned the broken hair on my face. Looking at myself in the mirror, I was indeed much more energetic than before.

Zhang Tianle only came to see me while I was cutting my hair. I didn't cut much at that time, so he didn't know what I would look like.Now he is sitting on the sofa in the front desk area waiting for me. Seeing that I finished cutting out, he didn't have that kind of surprise. He just touched the back of my head with his hands, tilted his head, and commented in a ruffian way: "Not bad. ah."

The corner of my mouth twitched, and I went to pay first. The little girl at the front desk had a good business level, grasped the final process and insisted on developing customers. She asked us: "Are you still in school?"

"Yes." I replied.

"Then next time you come, you can try our [-]% discount for students. Next month we will have a perm dyeing project, and you can experience the [-]% discount with a valid student ID."

Zhang Tianle stood aside, and answered the words naturally: "Sister, he will elope with me next month, and he may never come again."

In the end, Zhang Tianle and I left the barber shop in an awkward joke. After walking far away, I finally relaxed and walked on the side of the road, listening to him complaining while walking: "Fuck, I won't be here in the future." I will never come to this house again, people are too oily, do you think they get a commission or something? Three sentences are inseparable from sales, and how much money do you expect me to spend at his house. "

I didn't expect him to be the first to blow his hair. Looking at him, I thought he thought this store was pretty good, but I wanted to laugh but I was too embarrassed to insert a knife, so I had no choice but to say, "Let you change clothes." , if you come in school uniform, can you sell so much for you?"

Today we escaped the second half of the evening self-study and came here to cut our hair. Zhang Tianle just escaped the evening self-study is not enough, he insisted on changing into school uniform and wearing casual clothes, the result is that he is probably regarded as a college student and wants to squeeze us Fortunately, the two of us have firm beliefs, except for basic washing, cutting and blowing, each of us didn't spend a penny more.

"Oh, I made a mistake. I'm afraid that it will affect the school." Zhang Tianle walked side by side with me, talking in his mouth, and pulled my hand together without any trace, fingers intertwined loosely He looked like he wanted to hold me or not, the clothes he was wearing today were a bit too big, he held my hand and hid it by the side of the clothes, somewhat protecting it.

"What happens if someone sees you?" he asked me.

"It doesn't matter, it's nothing more than taking a second look."

"Then let them see." Zhang Tianle let go of my hand as he said, and put his arms around my shoulders. He tightened his arms, and I was locked slightly bent by him, and his face was close to mine. next to my ear, my neck was itchy when I breathed, "But your hair was cut really nicely for you."

I smiled and broke his hand, and the two of them staggered forward, "Then come again next time?"

"No, I won't come again." Zhang Tianle let go of me, we each took two steps, and he pulled my hand together again.

I was in a good mood, and suddenly wanted to tease him, "I cut it as you said, is there any reward?"

Zhang Tianle looked at me with a half-smile, and said intriguingly: "The reward, it should be here."

I received an express self-pickup text message in the afternoon. On the way home, I suddenly remembered it. When I opened the self-pickup cabinet, I found that it was not a small item. It was big and heavy. I carefully recalled that I hadn’t bought it recently. What, but my name and my home address were indeed on the courier slip. I carried it all the way home, and when I got home, I opened it and my jaw dropped.

After I opened the outer layers of hard cardboard and anti-collision foam to see the outer packaging of the main body, I still didn’t believe it, and then I saw the laptop body, and I didn’t believe it until I pressed the power button. Only after it started to work, did I dare to believe that the layers of packaging contained aliens.

When I was staring blankly at the interface requesting configuration on the screen, my phone rang.

It was the video call from Zhang Tianle. I came back to answer the call, and the first sentence he said was: "Have you received it?"

"……What?"

"Why are you pretending to be stupid, I read the logistics information that it has been delivered."

I thought about it belatedly, and it is true that there is no second person to be suspicious except Zhang Tianle, but Zhang Tianle itself is enough to make me unbelievable. I don't know what to say, so I have to confirm it first: "It is you?"

"Nonsense, who else but me."

"...Really, is this?"

"Haven't you opened it yet? Hurry up and open it, and you'll know it's not true."

"I opened it."

"Then ask a fart, don't get cheap and act like a good boy."

I put the phone aside, and mechanically followed the steps of the configuration interface, step by step, staring at the screen with straight eyes.

"Scare you stupid?" Zhang Tianle asked across the video.

"No...why?"

"Didn't you say you don't have a computer, no, now you have one."

I thought about it dully. It seems that there was a time when Zhang Tianle suddenly sent me a WeChat message telling me to stop playing broken games on my phone and play League of Legends online with him. At that time, I said that I didn’t have a computer. He continued to play mobile games honestly, probably because he was aggrieved.

"Wait, I didn't mean that..."

"I know, I want to give you a gift, and didn't you say you want a reward, just take it as a reward."

"No, no, you're a little, a little, over it." I can't turn my head around, and my tongue is rarely so knotted.

"There's nothing wrong with it, what's the matter?"

I went into the system to check the configuration of this thing, but I was speechless again. I knew that Zhang Tianle was rich, but I didn't expect him to be so rich. I pursed my lips at the screen, really not knowing what to say.

"Ayu, don't feel burdened. Just play games with me for the rest of your life. If you count it every day, think about it, is it okay?"

I think there are too many things I need to think about in an instant. It’s not a problem not to accept it, and it’s not a problem to accept it. Moreover, where should I hide such a big thing? how to explain...

"Ayu."

"Ok?"

"I just want to give you some money."

"but……"

"I just want to spend some money for you," Zhang Tianle repeated, "You said you could accept it with peace of mind and it's over. Can you hurry up and give you such a heavy gift? What do I think?"

Zhang Tianle kept trying to divert my attention on the other end of the video, but it seemed that I was a little too hypocritical.I closed the laptop and let out a long sigh. Honestly, what guy wouldn't be happy to get an Alien?It's a pity that I have mixed feelings, happiness is based on fear, and my mood is very complicated.

I asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

Zhang Tianle probably guessed that the one who was supposed to come would always come, so he calmly replied, "I won the lottery."

I stopped talking nonsense with him, and continued to ask, "Your dad gave it to you?"

"Don't worry, I didn't get it from my dad, nor did I sell the kidney, it's all real money."

"Then I'm even more worried. Where did you get serious money?"

"Hey, why do you have to break the casserole and ask the end."

I didn't want to joke with him at all, "Don't make trouble, don't change the subject, tell me where you got so much money."

Zhang Tianle pursed his lips and looked at me, frowning in embarrassment, as if he was thinking about what kind of reason he should make up to prevaricate me.

"I have participated in so many competitions since I was a child, and I have won so many first, second and third places. Do you think it is just medals, trophies and certificates?" Before I could answer, he continued: "There are so many big and small competitions in the world. , do you think there are many real sports fans, or is the title of champion, runner-up and third place more face-saving?"

I thought about it seriously, but the more I thought about it, the more confused I became.

Zhang Tianle resigned to his fate and revealed the answer by himself: "It's the bonus, the bonus. Leaving aside those serious international competitions, as long as there is an organizer in any competition, no matter how much bonus will be set, the top three needless to say. Yes, four or five places can earn some points. Do you think there are so many pure and noble sportsmanship? No, to put it bluntly, it’s all about money. Those small competitions don’t require professional training. Professional athletes look down on this kind of competition, and there are all kinds of people who participate in the competition. How long does it take to compete? Does it sound easier than earning money at work? There are not so many athletes in the world, and there are really many opportunists. What I said is not specifically referring to track and field competitions, it is applicable to any competition , think about it when we were young, didn’t we always have math competitions, including singing, dancing and eating all the weird competitions now, there are many without bonuses, and even more with bonuses, even 20 yuan is money, because if there is no bonus, it will No one will pay attention to these competitions, just take track and field running as an example, there are many competitions and opportunities, so the threshold for athletes is also low now, there are good and bad.”

Hearing what Zhang Tianle said, I gradually changed from being confused to being enlightened, and finally reconfirmed with a sigh: "So all your money is your bonus?"

"Ah."

"How many are there?"

"A little bit."

"How much is one point?"

"Why do you think you are so unlovable? People don't want to say anything and you just want to ask something. I've been so vague and you can't understand it? Ask, ask, is it interesting?"

"That's a lot?"

"Multiple farts, not many."

I calmed down for a few seconds, then analyzed on my own: "No, I don't think it's right. You fly back and forth to Hong Kong when you have nothing to do. When we don't know each other, you dare to charge money into my game. You are the most generous for the set fee, so I don't think it's not much."

"If you are smart, you are the smartest."

I think this field is extremely novel, and there are a lot of questions I want to ask, "Then how much do you take at one time?"

"Who remembers this?"

"I can't remember the least, but I can't remember the most."

I patiently teased him, and finally forced him to hem and haw to explain the truth: "At most, it will be the alien at most."

"Fuck?"

"Oh, I don't want to talk about this. If you insist on telling me, it makes me pretend to be pushing and procrastinating. It's all paving the way for showing off later."

I was immersed in the brand-new cognition for a long time and couldn't catch up. Recently, Zhang Tianle has been refreshing my world view time and time again. He is always richer than I imagined.

What kind of person did I get next to...

Zhang Tianle curled his lips and said dryly: "Blood-earned money, treat it well."

"What's good for it, it's good for you." I finally couldn't hold it anymore, I stretched out my hand to touch my forehead, and my facial features were all wrinkled together, "Oh——you're really trying to kill me."

The author has something to say: what happened to Chapter 26. .
