There Are Trees in This Mountain

Chapter 23

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios There was an old barbershop in He An Alley that had been there for more than ten years. Residents had moved in and out of the neighborhood, but this barbershop had never changed.

It had a rotating lamppost with red and blue stripes day and night, and a tattered old signboard with black words on a green background. The words "A Fa Barbershop" were written in large letters.

Dai Gou, who had inherited his father's business, had coveted it for many years. He had always wanted to change the signboard's name from "A Fa" to "A Gou".

For more than ten years, he had always been ambitious and wanted to have his own signboard.

"A Gou Barbershop" was such a nice name.

Just like his, it showed elegance and elegance, embodied the spirit of washing, cutting, and drying, and contained the soul of the hairdressing industry.

However, his father, Dai Guifa, strongly disagreed. He felt that the barbershop had been called "A Fa" for so many years that it couldn't be casually changed.

Moreover, how could "A Gou" be as nice as "A Fa"?!

Dai Guifa and Dai Gou had argued about this issue for many years. In the end, Dai Gou chose to give in to his old man, who was getting more and more shameless as he aged, and decided to continue using the shitty name "Ah Fa".

Lin Juanshen stepped into "A Fa Barbershop". As usual, there weren't many customers inside. There was only a young man with colorful hair who was lazily sitting on an old leather sofa and playing the latest mobile game on his phone.

When he sensed someone, he didn't even raise his head and said, "Welcome, we have a special opening sale. The original price is 998 yuan, but everything is 20% off today!"

Lin Juanshen ignored this guy's nonsense. He had been in business for more than ten years, so why was he pretending to be a newbie?

Without moving his eyebrows, he sat firmly on the barbershop chair and said, "15 yuan, give me a fringe."

Hearing this familiar voice and the familiar shameless haggling, Dai Gou's hand trembled. He looked at the gray game interface on his phone with melancholy and then glared at Lin Juanshen.

"Quan Quan, let me tell you, you'll lose me if you do this!"

When Lin Juanshen heard the name Circles, his eyebrows instantly furrowed. He glared fiercely at Dai Gou, as if he would immediately beat him up if he dared to say it again.

Dai Gou's mouth twitched.

This guy is getting less and less cute. Back then, when he called me Brother Gou, he was so innocent and lovable.

But now, he's even threatened me when he called me by my nickname.

Sigh, men.

Man, man, man, your name!

Feeling aggrieved, he walked to the right side of the barber chair where Lin Juanshen was sitting. "Prices have been rising recently, so I'll charge 50 yuan to fix my bangs." He stretched out five fingers and gestured at Lin Juanshen a few times.

"15..

"… Forty.

Can't be any less!

I'm making a loss here! "Dai Gou tried to convince him.

...

. ".. 30.

I really can't be any less. My reputation will be tarnished if I sell my haircut for 30! "Dai Gou tried to persuade him again. His face was full of distress.

. "15 then." Lin Juanshen sat as still as Mt. Tai. He insisted on bargaining.

Dai Gou's face was bitter. "Okay, okay. Since we've been brothers for more than ten years, I'll charge you 15."

Lin Juanshen didn't care about Dai Gou's words. This guy didn't learn his skills well, but after he inherited his family's haircut shop, he raised the price higher and higher.

Not only did he cheat strangers, but he also didn't let his brothers off!

How could they still be brothers?

He still maintained a cold expression.

"How much do you want?"

Dai Gou looked at Lin Juanshen's long hair that covered his eyes. He held a pair of sharp scissors in his hand and asked.

"Three centimeters." Lin Juanshen looked at the mirror in front of him. He thought of something and added, "I want my eyes to be exposed … um … just a little will do."

Dai Gou made an OK sign and urged him to close his eyes.

"I … I …"

"I like you …" Du Nian originally thought that saying these words would be an extremely difficult thing to do, but he didn't know where the courage came from, but he forced her to say these words.

Even she herself was very surprised. She felt that she had been possessed by something to be so bold.

She was so nervous in front of him that she felt dizzy and her speech was messed up, but she said it so fluently.

She must have been possessed.

She stuttered, trying to salvage the meaning of the sentence, but her thoughts were in a mess. She raised her head and looked at Lin Juanshen's face.

His eyebrows were slightly raised, and his face was unreadable. She didn't know what he was thinking.

In fact, Lin Juanshen was surprised at first, but then he started to feel happy.

She looked at his face with difficulty. She guessed that he wasn't happy because he looked fiercer.

"I like you … you …" She unconsciously stuttered again. Then, she quickly glanced at him and continued the second half of the sentence, "… your eyes." She sniffled and replied with a sweet smile.

Lin Juanshen looked at the silly and crybaby shortie. He wondered why she looked so ugly when she smiled. She was so scared and ugly.

She still wanted to hide it. Humph, she just likes him.

As she thought about it, she restrained the corners of her mouth from curling up proudly. She calmly tidied her bangs.

Very good. His hairstyle is perfect. His expression is cold.

Lin Juanshen, you are the most handsome!

"Oh." He replied calmly.

Du Nian didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that he was fiercer than before.

She was annoyed. He must not like her being so straightforward. She should learn from it next time.

Lin Juanshen looked strangely at Shortie who was silent and depressed. She lowered her head, so he could only see a small knot on her head.

He was a little anxious.

What was Shortie waiting for?

Why didn't she continue to praise him?

Shortie, your confession level is so low. You need to reflect on it!

Could it be that his handsomeness made her speechless?

Before he could figure it out, the bell for the end of class rang.

Du Nian was shocked. She remembered that the physical education teacher always had to do a headcount before the class ended. She was worried that Ying Ying wouldn't be able to help her hide it. Her face showed an anxious expression.

She didn't care about the confession. She had already failed. She could just try again next time. The teacher said that failure was the mother of success. If she failed a few times, she might succeed.

Forget it this time. It was more important. She had to solve the main problem first, then solve the secondary problem!

She was calculating in her heart. After sorting out her priorities, she decisively turned around and ran in the direction of the sports field.

"… …" He watched as Shortie ran away without looking back. Her footsteps were fast, and her ponytail was swinging high.

Ha, a woman who gave up halfway.

"Open your eyes and look."

Lin Juanshen's messy thoughts were suddenly interrupted. He opened his eyes impatiently.

When he saw the person in the mirror, he began to think about life.

Who was this idiot?

"Hey, are you stunned?

Do you think my skills have improved a lot? "

Dai Gou brushed his colorful short hair and was intoxicated with himself. "I borrowed the classic style of the male lead and the supporting male lead in the drama 'Let's Watch Meteor Hammer'!

I guarantee that you will be as handsome as me when you go out! "

"… …" Lin Juanshen looked at him suspiciously.

"Bro, you have to believe me. It's because we are friends. Otherwise, how could I only charge you 15 yuan for such a fashionable style? If you ask me, with my skills and reputation as the best swordsman in He An Alley, it would be a loss for me to charge you 50 yuan.

After all, I was a top student at the New Northeast Vocational School. The teacher who taught me the 28 styles of hairdressing and hairdressing cried and begged me to stay at the school to teach. But I came back to inherit the family business. I wanted to use my excellent hairdressing skills to bring the family business to greater heights. At the same time, I also wanted to repay the people in He An Alley … … "

"… …"

"… … It's all because of my dream. My dream drove me to come back here and start my noble life as a senior hairdresser." Dai Gou's eyes were bright and full of passion and ideals as he ended his speech.

"… …" Lin Juanshen looked at the idiot in the mirror expressionlessly and decided to accept reality.

Wasn't it just his bangs being cut?

Wasn't it just like being bitten by a dog?

Men don't need bangs!

Men have nothing to fear!

Anyway, he was definitely the most handsome!

More handsome than Dai Gou, this idiot dog!
