Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Bringing Father for a Haircut

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fu Ting, Fu Pei and his followers all went to a barbershop in the city center during lunchtime. The shop was empty and the shop owner Mr. Tony saw the incoming customers. With a joyous smile, he immediately walked forward to entertain them.

Before they could speak, Fu Ting had decided for them and instructed the hairstylist, “Please dye their hair back to black, and make their hairstyles according to my instructions.”

As Fu Ting wanted to improve her father’s image in his youth, she must also include her father’s brothers. This was to prevent her father from being criticized that he was hanging out with a group of gangsters.

Xie Tiao grimaced in an instant. “Master Ting, I want to dye my hair yellow and have it crimped. I think it matches my vibe!”

Tiger and Muscles also expressed their desire to have a heavy punk hairstyle.

Fu Ting’s nose scrunched.

Fu Pei eyed them in warning as he sat down in front of the mirror. “If you want to have a new hairstyle, then we’ll all get the same one,” he argued. “Otherwise, don’t follow me anymore!”

Brother Fu gave them his ultimatum; how could his followers deny his orders then? With their tails between their legs, Fu Pei’s followers sat down conscientiously.

Fu Ting borrowed a pen and paper from the barbershop, sketched a close-cropped hairstyle, and showed it to Mr. Tony.

Half an hour later…

Xie Tiao and the others had their hair cut first. They looked at each other with tears in their eyes once they finished.

Xie Tiao touched his prickly hair and whined, “Damn it! What kind of inmate-like hairstyle is this? Will we be mistaken as inmates and get locked up?”

Tiger snickered. “Our whole family must look the same; neat and tidy. Let’s wait for Brother Fu, and we can all go to the labor camp to drink tea.”

They all turned their heads to see Fu Pei in perfect unison. He was the last one to finish his haircut. He pulled his hood over his head right after, and it shadowed his face.

With great anticipation, Fu Ting blinked at her father. “Dad, take off your hood and show me.”

Fu Pei shoved his hands into his trousers’ pockets with his head hung low. His eyelashes shadowed his eyes and made his features look more delicate.

His tight jawline showed his discomfort and, with a deep voice, replied glumly, “What do you wanna see?”

The close-cropped hairstyle was quite popular in the future, but not many people in this era could accept it.

Fu Pei felt that his hairstyle was ugly and did not want to show that to Little Fool.

With heart-rending eyes, Fu Ting’s fingers grabbed onto Fu Pei’s clothes and tugged on them lightly. “Dad, show me!”

Damn it!

Fu Pei could not resist against her, thus he dropped his head dispiritedly and gave up shielding himself. He allowed Fu Ting to uncover his hood and reveal his new appearance.

A man needed to be handsome and had to have a certain face shape to pull off a close-cropped hairstyle. Most people could not pull it off, but Fu Pei did so perfectly.

Fu Pei’s previous hair was fluffy and in light brown color; he used to look like a male protagonist in a Korean drama.

His hair had now been dyed black and became short, and it highlighted his deep and delicate features.

No longer covered by his thick hair, the teenager’s face looked more masculine and charming. His black hair made his face look extremely fair, as though he was the crazily good-looking Black Butler in the Japanese manga[1].

The youthful vibe in his eyes had disappeared. Now, he possessed a ferocity that could make all the girls crazy for him.

Fu Ting felt like she was looking at her father in the future; the famous male superstar who was at the peak of his career. Her eyes lit up, and she sighed with complex feelings.

“Dad! You look like an Alpha!”

“Alpha?”

Fu Pei lowered his eyes and mulled it over. Little Fool reacted in such a way that it seemed like his hairstyle was not destroyed.

Fu Ting blinked, and her eyes looked like the falling stars that twinkled beautifully. She gave him a thumbs-up. “It means ‘super cool’! You’re super dope!”

Xie Tiao and the others were dumbfounded.

They became ‘prisoners in a labor camp’ with the same hairstyle, but Brother Fu was ‘super dope’!

They all wanted to say something from their hearts. ‘I can pull it off, too!’

Well, the most important thing was…

They also wanted a little fairy to flatter them like this!

The praise went to Fu Pei’s head and made him feel high, and he initially could not put down the smirk that grew on his face. He eventually pressed them down quickly, raised his brow bones and coolly replied, “It’s just so-so.”

With squinted eyes, he said, “Look how love-struck you are, Little Fool. Do you praise every handsome man like this?”

A befuddled Fu Ting tilted her head to the side and adorably so.

Fu Pei figured Little Fool might treat other men like this, and he inexplicably felt a sense of crisis as though his precious treasure was in danger.

He pressed his hand on the little girl’s head and gruffly asserted, “Don’t be so love-struck by other men in the future.”

The filial Fu Ting simply nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice to eat.

Xie Tiao and the others were stunned.

He was controlling her domineeringly! This must be love!

Walking out of the barbershop, Fu Pei suddenly thought of something…
