But I don’t know if it’s because Jiang Baige is still a little anxious. She mentions Cen Muzi many times almost every day, which makes Qin Shi, who is as meticulous as a hair, realize that something is wrong.

"Bai Ge, tell me honestly, did you really approach Mu Zi just to dye your hair?"

Jiang Baige's finger, which was liking Cen Muzi's new post on WeChat Moments, was suspended in mid-air.

Her smile was a little stiff: "Look at what you said, why is it so ambiguous..."

"Is it so ambiguous?" Qin Shi didn't buy her nonsense.

Jiang Baige knew that she couldn't get away with it, so she had to make up the most acceptable excuse: "Well, if you ask me that, then I can only tell you the truth... Actually, I have a crush on Mu Zi's classmate, but we are separated by different departments, as you know..."

"Muzi's classmates? Aren't they all going to graduate this year? You're..." Qin Shi seemed to have accepted this matter and even considered it seriously. "But it's not certain. Their class only has master's degrees. Maybe they will continue to study for a doctorate after graduation and still be in our school..."

Jiang Baige really didn't expect that such a ridiculous reason could convince Qin Shi.

She had to rack her brains and start thinking: What did the male classmates around her look like on the day Cen Muzi took the photo...

Very good, I can't remember anything.

That means there must be no handsome guys - how should she act this out?

Sure enough, Qin Shi continued to ask: "Which one do you like? I'll ask her for you?"

"Ah..." Jiang Baige touched the back of his head, feeling a little guilty, but Qin Shi misunderstood it as shyness, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate..."

Qin Shi glanced at her: "What era is this? Do you still have to wait for boys to pursue you? Weren't you talking to us about subjectivity yesterday..."

Jiang Baige: Yes, but the main problem is that we haven’t found the object.

She changed the subject: "So what if it's the 21st century? Look, Muzi dyed her hair, but she was still disqualified from speaking at the graduation ceremony..."

Speaking of this, Qin Shi became angry: "Those old stubborn people!"

"More than just an old stubborn person... You also know that no one is paying attention to Anjing University's annual enrollment, school anniversary, and graduation season. I don't know if Muzi's red hair will become the target of public criticism..."

"Are you kidding me?" Qin Shi didn't listen to what he said. "It's not like she dyed her hair with other people's blood after killing someone. Who cares what color her hair is..."

Of course normal people would think so.

But the abnormality of this society is far beyond the imagination of normal people.

Jiang Baige had a lot of pain in her heart but couldn't express it.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qin Shi changed the subject again: "So you dyed your hair...to win over that boy?"

Jiang Baige was very confused. She didn't know Qin Shi had such a rich imagination.

But in Qin Shi's eyes, her silence became a consent.

"In that case, after you dye your hair, we'll ask Muzi to come out and help you hook up with that boy, how about that?"

Jiang Baige: “…Okay.”

Things turned out to be accomplished in a way she had never imagined.

Jiang Baige had to look through Mu Zi's circle of friends and enlarge every one of her photos, trying to find a male classmate who was "attractive" to her so that her lie would not be exposed so quickly.

***

A few days later, Jiang Baige and Xin Zhiping, with their greasy hair, met Cen Muzi at the entrance of "Yuedao".

Seeing that Cen Muzi did not take the initiative to mention the matter of that "boy", Jiang Baige breathed a sigh of relief: Qin Shi's mouth was quite tight.

The three of us went to the store and found out that "Yuedao" was having a promotion recently. The three of us could order a set meal together, and we could also combine it with the discount for the recharge card.

All together, the cost of perming and dyeing would be several hundred, even at the school's barber shop. Why not save money if you can?

Jiang Baige called Tao Mindai's cell phone.

Tao Mindai was just on her way to the bathhouse, but after being persuaded by Jiang Baige, she decided not to take a bath and went directly to "Moon Island".

"So what color do you want to dye it?" Jiang Baige asked excitedly.

It was noon and not the weekend, so there were not many people in "Yuedao". The four of them were sitting side by side. Xin Zhiping was playing with her cell phone, Cen Muzi was looking at a typed paper, and Jiang Baige and Tao Mindai were sitting together picking hair colors, just like the old Shanghai ladies on TV who had nothing better to do and got their hair done together.

Jiang Baige thought, it would be so interesting if she had a group of old sisters to play with when she was old.

However, she felt it would be better to drink tea or coffee, eat snacks together, and talk about what books they had read recently, rather than sitting in the hair salon all day, which was a waste of time.

"How about dyeing your hair pink?"

Xin Zhiping, who was sitting next to her, handed her the phone over. Not to mention, she was young and beautiful, and Jiang Baige was a little moved when she saw her.

"Okay, pink then!"

Tao Mindai is quite easy to talk to, and is very conscious of just "making up the numbers".

The three of them started working: Jiang Baige, who had the same hair color as Cen Muzi - but the hairdresser said that it might not be possible to achieve exactly the same color, and that in addition to dyeing her hair, she would also have to perm it into big waves; Xin Zhiping, who had short green hair, would have her hair cut shorter and thinned to make it look more flowing; Tao Mindai, who had pink hair, had some problems as well, so there was no special suggestion on how to deal with her hair.

Cen Muzi sat next to Jiang Baige, which was also a special arrangement by Jiang Baige: to make it convenient for chatting and getting close to each other.

"Are you a little bored?" Jiang Baige asked apologetically.

"It's okay." Cen Muzi said, and a hairdresser walked towards her. She stuffed the thesis into her bag and explained, "My parents will be here in less than ten days, so I'll touch up the color so it looks better in the photo."

Jiang Baige certainly couldn't miss such important information.

"Your parents are here so early? Didn't Shishi say they were only here to attend your graduation ceremony?"

"Well, because my grandma is not in good health and needs an operation, the doctor suggested that we go to a specialist hospital in Anjing for the operation. I have been trying to get a number before, and I finally got one two days ago... Because there are still many procedures to be completed for hospitalization, they will come earlier. But they will not come to me until my grandma is settled."

"So that's it."

This is new information - although I don’t know how it relates to subsequent developments, it’s always a good idea to collect more information.

After several hours of hard work, when the few people came out of "Moon Island", their stomachs were growling with hunger.

They called Qin Shi, who was studying in the library, over and took a "color group photo" of the four of them: This is a photo of their backs, with Jiang Baige and Cen Muzi, who have similar hair colors and styles, standing on both sides.

After taking the photos, Jiang Baige posted them on her Moments.

She glanced at the nicknames she liked, and when she saw the ID she wanted, she smiled with satisfaction.

——When she was bored doing her hair, she already had a new plan.
