“Sister Yao, we’re here to be volunteers. It’s a bit busy over there. Do you want to come and help?”

Color Hair knew he overreacted a bit. Looking at this fair, tall, skinny guy who didn’t seem to be able to withstand Sister Yao’s strength, Color Hair couldn’t bear to see him pestered and destroyed by his Sister Yao.

So, he immediately asked Li Muyao to go and help.

Color Hair remembered that Sister Yao was very proactive about being a volunteer today.

“Alright, I’ll come over then. Well, Huo… Jiling, right? Let’s go together! Color Hair, Jiling is quite professional in shampooing techniques. We’ll bring him with us.”

After being reminded by Color Hair, Li Muyao reluctantly looked away from those charming, slender, fair, big hands.

“No…” Color Hair still hadn’t said the word ‘need’.

Huo Jiling had already agreed with a bit of joy. “Sure.”

“Let’s go! Right, Jiling, what do you do?” Everyone here today is a customer of Xinghong Securities. Apparently, Huo Jiling was one of them as well.

However, Li Muyao thought that Manager Chen only invited her and Color Hair to meet the required number of people.

As for the good-looking handsome guy in front of her, he may probably still be a student?

“I’m a programmer. What about you and this handsome boy? Are you both professional hairdressers?”

Huo Jiling let Color Hair size him up. When he met Color Hair’s complicated gaze, he beamed at Color Hair.

“He’s a hairdresser and I’m a beautician. You must be busy as a programmer.”

Li Muyao remembered that programmers had to work in front of a computer all day, so they would indeed be a bit timid. And yet, Huo Jiling seemed to be a couple of years older than her only. “I thought you were a student.”

“No, I’m twenty-five. I’ve been working for a long time.”

Huo Jiling didn’t want to make himself look so young on purpose as well. The main thing was… Li Muyao didn’t like guys who looked too smart.

“Oh God! You’re already twenty-five? I can’t see it at all. Really, your skin is so smooth. You’re a man, but your skin is even better than that of many of my customers.

“I’m so jealous!

“What about shampooing skills? Did you learn it for volunteering in the charity event today?”

After all, Huo Jiling seemed to be a very serious person. Li Muyao had participated in many charity events in her last life and she would also learn some skills frequently.

For example, she had visited some disabled people. Since it was difficult for disabled people to find a job, the institution would organize classes to teach them handicrafts, so they could do something they could do. Then, they would bring the handicrafts they made to an auction. Part of the money would be distributed to them, while part would be kept for the institution to support their day-to-day operations.

There were many kinds of handicrafts, including Chinese knots, cross stitches, crafts made with iron wires, and so on.

To communicate with these people without any barriers, she bought some books about handicrafts to learn at home. After that, she met a lot of volunteers like her, knowing how to do all kinds of crafts and having different small talents.

“Yes, I got a notice saying that we’d be coming to a nursing home, so I spent 500 yuan to learn it at a salon for five days and helped more than a hundred people wash their hair. What do you think? My techniques are considered passable, right?”

It was as if Huo Jiling met a bosom friend. He spoke with excitement.

“Muyao, if you want the same skincare products I’m using, I can give some to you. My skincare products are cosmeceuticals my grandma made with Chinese medicines. They work well for girls as well.”

After hearing what Huo Jiling said, Color Hair next to him frowned. He was still worried that this handsome guy would be scared by Sister Yao just now. In the end, Color Hair found a small problem. This man in front of him had everything Sister Yao liked in him.

For example, his fair, slender, and beautiful hands.

For example, his smooth, shiny skin.

For example, his appearance, height, and character!

F*ck!

Thinking about it carefully, this man, Huo Jiling, was totally tailor-made for Sister Yao based on the things she liked!

No wonder the streetwise Sister Yao almost couldn’t walk because of him.

“Really? Then, let’s exchange our phone numbers. Do you use QQ? As a programmer, you need to surf the Internet every day. You should have an account, right?

“Come, let’s add each other as friends, so we can keep in touch conveniently in the future.

“I’m very interested in cosmeceuticals!”

As a senior beautician manager, she certainly had enough knowledge on all the brands of skincare products.

Li Muyao was really considering opening her own salon that Color Hair mentioned before.

If she was going to do it, she must choose products that were effective and suitable for her customers. Cosmeceuticals aren’t popular right now. One can say that makeup wasn’t included in the list of various skincare products circulating on the market.

“I have a QQ number. Let’s add each other as friends!”

Huo Jiling and Li Muyao took out their cell phones at the same time and then logged in to QQ. When Huo Jiling told Li Muyao his QQ number, Color Hair and Li Muyao were immediately stunned.

“Jiling, we’re really meant to meet each other. Our QQ numbers are pretty much the same. Do you see that? Only one of the first four digits is different and the last four digits are completely the same, 0815!”

“0815 is my birthday. My phone number also ends with these four digits.”

Li Muyao thought she was destined to meet Huo Jiling. Such a coincidence was unbelievable. There were eight digits in a QQ number, and their first three and last four digits were the same!

Weren’t that the legendary couple numbers?

She looked at Color Hair subconsciously. Li Muyao’s QQ number and phone number were both chosen by Color Hair.

Since Color Hair knew Li Muyao’s birthday was on August 15th, he spent a little money to buy this QQ number.

Color Hair had never thought there would be such a coincidence. He had no idea what he was thinking, but he asked Huo Jiling, “Does your phone number end with 0815 as well?”

Seeing Huo Jiling’s look, Color Hair knew he was right.

“Yes, my phone number is 139****0815. Is there something wrong?”

Huo Jiling asked dumbfoundedly. There was shock on Li Muyao’s and Color Hair’s faces.

“Nothing’s wrong. I just think… we’re truly meant to meet each other. Here, let’s exchange our phone numbers as well. My number is 138****0815.

“If this number wasn’t given to me by Color Hair, I would have thought we chose couple numbers.”

It was normal for Li Muyao to think like that. Their QQ numbers were only one digit different from the other. Hers was 8 and his was 9.

Their phone numbers were the same. One started with 139 and the other with 138, while both ended with 0815.

Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?

Li Muyao observed for a while and was certain that Color Hair and Huo Jiling didn’t know each other.

“Sister Yao, I really chose it especially for you, but from the store near to our salon. I also chose your QQ number from a friend of mine. I picked it after looking at a few others and I spent ten yuan on it.

“I just thought it’d be easier for you to remember if it’s your birthday.”

Who knew what was going on?
