Magong Yongshi's skills were quite exceptional, at least Shen Gu Mirai could tell.

She was adept at using both the razor and hair clipper, even capable of utilizing good will to multi-task and cut hair for others.

Such sophisticated skills were beyond Shen Gu Mirai.

At least for now, she was incapable of them.

But...

Had she even mentioned wanting a haircut?

Shen Gu Mirai's lips moved as she was about to speak when she heard Magong Yongshi gently say, "Alright, Miss Mirai, just sit here and keep still."

Uh...

Magong Yongshi's kind and enthusiastic demeanor made it hard for Shen Gu Mirai to say "no need."

Standing nearby, Beichuan Si spoke without much thought, "Then, Mirai, I'll leave her in your hands; I'll go cook… I wonder where Shihua has gone; she hasn't returned for so long."

He said this and then pushed open the bathroom door to leave, leaving only Magong Yongshi and Shen Gu Mirai inside.

Magong Yongshi seemed to be in a good mood; she hummed an ancient Japanese tune while gently washing Shen Gu Mirai's hair.

In this peculiar and odd situation, Shen Gu Mirai couldn't help but speak up,

"Um… Miss Yongshi?"

"Hmm?" Magong Yongshi's clear eyes looked over.

Shen Gu Mirai carefully phrased her question,

"Why… why did you suddenly decide to cut my hair…?"

As soon as she asked, a knowing smile appeared on Magong Yongshi's face.

She turned on the showerhead to rinse Shen Gu Mirai's hair, which was as black and smooth as silk, and explained, "Actually, it wasn't my idea to cut your hair, Miss Mirai..."

Click—

After turning off the tap, Magong Yongshi gently dabbed Shen Gu Mirai's hair with a white towel and continued, "I was actually asked by Mr. Temple."

"Asked by Mr. Temple?"

Hearing that name, Shen Gu Mirai couldn't help but lift her head abruptly, her expression dumbfounded as she stared at the mirror.

Reflected in the smooth glass was Magong Yongshi's materialized smile.

She nodded, a hint of envy in her voice, "Yes, Mr. Temple asked me. He said he wanted to get a couple's haircut that resembled yours… so he asked me to do it."

Uh…

It was only now that Shen Gu Mirai recalled how earlier Beichuan Si had quietly talked with Magong Yongshi.

Could it have been at that moment...?

Shen Gu Mirai's heart began to beat uncontrollably.

What the heck! What is all this about?!

So it was Mr. Temple who initiated, who asked for a couple's haircut…

Shen Gu Mirai's eyes squinted in delight, feeling like a little person inside her was jumping with joy.

What was she fretting over just moments ago? What was she even thinking?

It seemed to not matter anymore.

Everything felt like the bright clearing sky after rain.

To think that Beichuan Si, who always has a cold expression, would actually make such a request to Miss Yongshi.

That must have been a full expression of his feelings, right?

This thought gave Shen Gu Mirai an urge.

She really wanted to rush out of the bathroom, embrace Beichuan Si, and then bury her head in his chest, rubbing against him vigorously.

It was similar to the impulse to run a few laps on the playground after encountering something delightful.

Only, this impulse of Shen Gu Mirai was solely towards Beichuan Si.

"I suppose Mr. Temple wanted to make you happy, Miss Mirai, but it's difficult for him to express it publicly… You know him, he can easily refute others' statements, but he harbors no ill intentions. So it indeed took some effort for him to ask you that directly."

Magong Yongshi skillfully adjusted Shen Gu Mirai's shoulders.

While cutting her hair, she candidly continued, "Honestly, I'm quite envious of the relationship you and Mr. Temple share currently."

Upon hearing this, Shen Gu Mirai froze completely.

She lifted her head and discreetly began to examine Magong Yongshi's expression in the mirror.

Magong Yongshi remained the same.

Her eyes were serene, her long eyebrows smoothly stretched, her lips still upturned in a smile, and that charming mole added a touch of allure to her.

But these were not the focus.

Magong Yongshi's overly clear eyes were doing the same as Shen Gu Mirai at that moment.

Shen Gu Mirai was sizing her up through the mirror.

And she was doing the same, sizing up Shen Gu Mirai.

The readiness to be open and honest made Shen Gu Mirai unsure of how to continue the conversation.

Noticing Shen Gu Mirai's slightly at a loss expression, Magong Yongshi, half-covering her cherry-pink lips with her hand, curved her eyes and said somewhat amusedly, "Miss Mirai, you really don't need to look like this."

You don't need to look like this...?

Shen Gu Mirai was somewhat puzzled.

Magong Yongshi slowly stopped cutting Shen Gu Mirai's hair and held up a finger, suggesting, "Let's put it another way."

"Miss Mirai, what do you like about Mr. Temple?"

Hmm… This question didn't need much thought.

"Whether it's his personality or the way he speaks, I like them all, but if I have to choose what I like the most—"

Shen Gu Mirai pondered momentarily, her eyes sparkling.

"I think it would be Mr. Temple's straightforward approach to life."

Yes, Beichuan Si was sincere, unaffected, unyielding to others, straightforward in character, outspoken, and faithfully upheld his promises.
