Chapter 175
The Multitasking Jiang Xiaoman (1)
Zhang Xinhua’s eyes opened wide as he looked at Jiang Xiaoman, while she blinked and looked back at him with innocent eyes.
The two of them stared at each other for a while before she finally spoke up first. “How do you feel?”
Zhang Xinhua touched the two small twintails with his hands, fell into thought for a while, and then said, “It seems that… I have become a little smarter?”
“Huh?” Jiang Xiaoman was surprised.
Was the efficacy of tying your hair on a beam and sticking a needle in your thigh that great? If it worked that well, then she would also try it when she got home. By the way, was she so smart because her hair was always tied up?
Zhang Xinhua said, “It feels that I’ve become more eye-catching than usual, otherwise, why would so many people be looking at me?” It must have been because he had become smarter.
Students from other classes who passed by their classroom would do a double take at him, and their classmates were also staring at him. Their eyes were full of curiosity; this was something that he had never experienced before.
Zhang Xinhua had always been just a common little fatty; he never stood out among the other children. Other than being a little chubby and a little bit good at eating, there was nothing outstanding about him.
The other kids didn’t like to play with him much, and never looked at him this way.
This was the first time that he received the recognition of so many people!
Usually, it had always been Jiang Xiaoman who was looked at with praise and admiration. This feeling was so cool!
He wanted it too!
Zhang Xinhua made up his mind almost immediately. “I want to continue hanging my hair on the beam and sticking a needle on my thigh!”
He really enjoyed this feeling of being noticed!
Jiang Xiaoman glanced at him and nodded. “Okay, then you have to study hard.”
“Uh-huh!” Zhang Xinhua was very happy.
Sure enough, after he got those twintails, even the homeroom teacher took another look at him when she entered the classroom. Her eyes contained a bit more surprise than usual. He finally became an outstanding student in the teacher’s eyes!
So this was how it felt to be a good student, a top student!
Zhang Xinhua was on cloud nine all day.
He kept his twintails wherever he went. He went to the toilet with twintails, went to the cafeteria with twintails, played in the yard with twintails and went to the place that he had to clean1 with twintails.
No matter where he went, he was the focus of attention!
Zhang Xinhua felt as if he was floating. He almost followed Jiang Xiaoman’s footsteps, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth!
Tomorrow, he would continue hanging his hair on the beam and sticking a needle in his thigh!
However, Zhang Xinhua’s ambition failed to survive to the next day.
When he came to school, Zhang Xinhua’s head was bald. His head was shaved, and was shiny just like a lightbulb.
It looked just like a peeled egg, very eye-catching.
He was even more eye-catching than yesterday.
The children from the other classrooms passing by the class were watching him, his classmates were watching him, and the teacher was also watching him.
The homeroom teacher finally opened her mouth and said, “Little friend Zhang Xinhua really likes to change his hairstyle lately. That’s good, he has an innovative spirit and likes to try something new. We should also learn from this spirit, never shrink back or be afraid, bla bla bla…”
He was praised by the teacher.
He was made a role model and praised in front of all his classmates. Logically speaking, he should be happy because he was finally as amazing as Jiang Xiaoman.
But…
“Wuu wuu wuu!!!” When break time came, he slumped on top of his desk, crying.
Jiang Xiaoman couldn’t stand it anymore and asked him, “Why are you crying?”
“After I got home yesterday, my dad scolded me.”
“Why did he scold you?” Jiang Xiaoman said, “Don’t cry. Adults are like this. They always scold or beat us as they like. Ah, us kids really have it hard.”
Zhang Xinhua cried and shook his head, “He said my hair doesn’t look good, and that I should never have it like this again.”
“Like it is now?”
“Like it was yesterday!”
Oh, those twintails!
His Dad said that it was a hairstyle just for girls. If he tied his hair like that, then he wouldn’t be a real man!
Zhang Xinhua was innocent but had gotten a beating. He didn’t dare to say anything or mention hanging his hair on the beams or sticking a needle in his thigh.
He only asked his father to help take off the twintails.
However, his father was clumsy and couldn’t untie them. Zhang Xinhua screamed in pain when he pulled them hard. Finally, his father took a razor and shaved his head bald.
He shaved him bald!
Wuu wuu wuu, he didn’t want this.
[Ding Dong! The Host accumulated negative emotions from Zhang Xinhua. Reward: 10 points]
[Points received. Balance: 280]
The system’s voice rang inside her head. This was the first time she received another child’s negative emotions.
Originally, she was very happy to earn some points. But if the kids hated her, she would feel uncomfortable too.
She was going to comfort Zhang Xinhua, but right now she was also pouting.
Did Zhang Xinhua hate her because of this?
Jiang Xiaoman wanted to ask, but then she tried putting herself in his position. If her uncle had shaved her hair bald, she would definitely hate her uncle for tens of thousands of years.
She wouldn’t talk to him for a whole year.
Thinking about it this way, it was really magnanimous that Zhang Xinhua was still talking to her so nicely.
Jiang Xiaoman was happy again.
