139. Chapter 139: What type of guy do you like?
“Hmm, your fashion taste?”
Lin Tian was taken aback.
He glanced at his sleeveless shirt, his oversized shorts, and his big slippers.
Nothing’s changed from before, right?
“It doesn’t seem as bad, though.”
“So it was pretty bad before?”
Gan Yan Yu finally admitted it.
But Lin Tian didn’t get it—there wasn’t any change in clothes…
What had changed then?
Facepalm
That’s when he smacked his forehead.
Gan Yan Yu was slyly complimenting him for becoming more handsome!
Wow, Miss Gan, you’re full of culture! Why didn’t I think of that?
“Looks better, means better fashion sense, huh?”
“Yeah, yeah… kind of.”
“If you’re all awkward about it, that’s going too far.”
“It’s not being awkward… It’s just I really don’t know!”
Gan Yan Yu whispered this with a small hint of honesty.
And there’s where Gan Yan Yu’s quirky traits kick in.
She never had much in terms of aesthetic understanding.
Whether or not someone’s good-looking, she really couldn’t tell.
She could only judge it based on others’ opinions and her pure feeling after seeing the person.
It’s a tricky one.
But there’s one thing for sure:
Gan Yan Yu knows she looks good.
This isn’t from anyone else’s opinion of her.
It’s because every time she sees herself in the mirror or in videos online, she feels incredibly pleased.
The more she looks, the more satisfied she gets.
And this joy peaked when she examined Lin Tian’s new outfit.
With his natural makeup, the details usually unnoticed on his face were brought to light.
His deep-set eyes seemed even deeper,
and his high nose seemed even higher.
It’s “seemed” because:
Makeup didn’t exaggerate these features as much as making them more noticeable than they normally are.
After closely inspecting Lin Tian’s facial features,
Gan Yan Yu genuinely felt happy.
Like listening to a beautiful piece of music, she knew it was great after just listening.
Lin Tian, puzzled by Gan Yan Yu’s dazed eyes, felt a bit embarrassed.
“What do you think about my bangs? Does it look too young? Should we change it?”
Lin Tian asked.
“Of course, it needs changing!” Gan Yan Yu said.
“Really, it needs changing?”
Lin Tian felt demoralized.
Could it be that age is irrelevant, and it’s just plain ugly?!
“I’ll help you fix it!”
“Huh?”
Before Lin Tian could finish, Gan Yan Yu stood up and grabbed a comb and a hairdryer.
Then, Lin Tian obediently sat on the chair,
letting Gan Yan Yu work her magic.
“Hiss—”
The loud blowing sound filled the air.
Miss Gan is helping me style my hair?
Feels like roles should be switched to make this moment more romantic.
Thought bubble
Lin Tian suddenly realized.
After the Parrot Zither Cup, he’s going to confess.
But he’s clueless about Gan Yan Yu’s preferences.
Girls are complicated beings.
Not every girl who appears to love classical things will necessarily want a “classical boyfriend.”
Often, girls prefer a complementary relationship,
liking what they lack the most.
Hence, you often see “good girls” dating “rebellious delinquents.”
Self-proclaimed “pure-hearted good guys” wonder why their “perfect goddess” prefers “bad boys,” leading to depression.
Misunderstanding the basics of young women causes that.
So—
Although Lin Tian has spent quite some time with Gan Yan Yu, due to conversations always revolving around music and food,
they’ve rarely discussed anything else.
Just like Xu Yong mentioned earlier,
They haven’t even touched on any emotional topics!
Thus, Lin Tian truly had no idea what type of guy Gan Yan Yu liked.
Puzzled thought bubble
Now, this might just be an amazing opportunity!
A golden chance to learn her preferences!
So Lin Tian asked:
“Miss Gan, what hairstyle do you prefer?”
Hairdryer hums loudly
“Huh?”
Lin Tian thought she didn’t understand, so he raised his voice,
“Are you into fresh, mature, or bold styles?”
A smart approach!
Instead of bluntly asking “what type of guys do you like,”
he switched topics to their current activity, styling hair!
Asking what type of hairstyle means asking what type of guy.
Subtle and clever.
Even someone as smart as Gan Yan Yu wouldn’t catch on.
Smart move!
Gan Yan Yu’s confused face
What?
Fresh, mature, or bold?
Shouldn’t that be about music styles?
“Actually, I like something grand…”
“Grand??”
Confused, Lin Tian wondered…
Is he talking about hairstyle styles?
Sounds more like describing a certain… you know… part.
If so, he’s in the clear.
“Could you clarify, Miss Gan? What’s ‘grand’?”
“It’s more of a feeling. I can’t describe it well.”
“No problem. It’s a feeling, anyway. Just tell me!”
“It gives me a sense of grand narratives. When I see it, it feels like a huge, dramatic experience!”
When speaking of this, Gan Yan Yu’s eyes sparkled.
In her eyes, an imagined golden art palace appeared, with world-class conductors and performers performing a magnificent symphony.
“Dramatic?”
Didn’t see that coming.
Gan Yan Yu likes such…?
Besides being grand, it needs to be dramatic too.
Doesn’t mean stripping down and running wild, making everything wildly flutter?
Gulp
Lin Tian shuddered.
No matter what, according to Gan Yan Yu, his confession would need some serious skills.
“Done.”
With Gan Yan Yu’s cheerful voice, Lin Tian’s hair was done.
He looked in the mirror. His once lanky hair was now stylishly layered.
The bangs at his forehead were perfectly symmetrical.
“Use this look for the art exam,” Gan Yan Yu chuckled.
(The End)
