Chapter 49: Black and White Tights
Seeing Xia Ling constantly floating around in front of her and occasionally giving her wicked smiles, Xia Yu couldn’t help but feel shy again. Could it be… did Mother really make her hair look ugly?
There was no mirror, so Xia Yu could only watch as her mother chopped off her locks while she had no idea how she looked now. She was both curious and afraid.
Fortunately, after a few minutes, Xia Yu’s haircut finally ended. Her hair, no longer a messy mess, even without being tied up, looked neat and didn’t spoil her attractiveness.
Seeing Xia Yu’s new look, Wang Wenjuan felt very satisfied. She didn’t care whether Xia Yu was a boy or a girl; she just liked Xia Yu’s adorable appearance. That’s why she gave her this hairstyle.
Wang Wenjuan also believed that Xia Yu, like Xia Ling, loved to be all dolled up. Although Xia Yu surface-deeply refuted this, didn’t she know her own child’s thoughts?
“Little Yu, your haircut is done. sweep up the stuff on the floor first, then take a nice hot bath,” Wang Wenjuan said habitually, while tidying up the barber cape.
But before Xia Yu could respond, Xia Ling eagerly jumped in, “No worries, I’ll help cleanup.”
With that, Xia Ling dashed off to find a broom and dustpan.
Listening to Xia Ling’s respectful tone towards Xia Yu, Wang Wenjuan couldn’t help but chuckle helplessly. Xia Yu and Xia Ling were twins anyway; what difference did a few seconds make? What mattered less was what they called each other.
Plus, now that Xia Yu’s face looked like… well, let them have fun. As long as the kids were happy, that was all that mattered.
That was a mother’s simple yet magnificent thought. She hoped her kids were happy, because who would get in trouble for that?
Once she and Xia Ling swept up the fallen hair on the floor, Xia Yu headed towards the bathroom. As she thought about taking off those pretty warm clothes, she got a bit reluctant.
Xia Ling followed closely behind her. After seeing Xia Yu, she seemed to guess her thoughts, so she hugged Xia Yu’s neck tightly and teased, “Sis, did you want to wear those pretty clothes again? Do you want me to give you some more?”
Surprisingly, upon hearing this question, Xia Yu tried to deny, “N-Not really… I don’t… um, don’t like them.”
Little did Xia Yu know, her reaction and blushing face already showed true feelings. Xia Ling giggled in her heart, then pulled Xia Yu towards her room, “Come on sis, I have lots of pretty clothes here.”
Sure enough, though it was cold, and there was no need to change that often, Xia Ling would still happily offer other pretty clothes for Xia Yu, because she rarely got to see Xia Yu looking so cute.
Thus, after some reluctance, Xia Yu finally decided to follow Xia Ling’s advice and change into different innerwear, while keeping the outer sweaters and coats on.
Of course, the tights she was wearing needed changing too. Xia Ling was particularly eager to recommend a pair of half-black and half-white tights. The stark color contrast was sure to draw attention.
Xia Ling didn’t tell Xia Yu that she actually had another similar pair of tights. If Xia Yu wore them, she would too, turning them into matching sets. It’d be quite amusing, wouldn’t it?
