They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Lin Han couldn't wait to put the bank card into his wallet, feeling an indescribable sense of joy.

Sorry, I'm just a vulgar person who's only interested in money.

"Lin Han, please guide me in the future." Yan Yuli stood up and extended her hand to Lin Han.

Lin Han stood up casually, looked up, and froze.

The senior student stood there, the dim light of the coffee shop illuminating her exquisite face, which resembled a work of art. Her student uniform had never looked so gentle. Soft light shone from behind her, illuminating strands of hair, creating a hazy, dreamlike, and beautiful scene.

She stood there, smiling radiantly at Lin Han.

Lin Han admitted that his heart rate quickened slightly for a moment.

So beautiful, no wonder she's a goddess.

All of Yan Yuli's smiles were, in Lin Han's eyes, the signature polite smiles of an idol, which could be easily faked.

But now, he could feel the smile in the girl's eyes.

Gentle and clear.

Lin Han held Yan Yuli's hand.

"Please give me some advice!"

.......

As Lin Han walked out of the coffee shop, he looked at the moon in the sky and stretched.

He felt as if he had been reborn.

Today, he received his first system reward, quit his job at the coffee shop, and developed many new abilities.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a turning point in his life so far.

In that case, I must seize the opportunity and work even harder!

Until then...

Lin Han went to a bank ATM and put his bank card in.

The password is "021120", which Yan Yuli told him, although he didn't know what the string of numbers meant.

When the machine displayed a balance of "100000", Lin Han felt a sense of relief.

Not a penny more, not a penny less, exactly 100,000.

Honestly, Lin Han had never felt so safe since being abandoned by his parents.

Lin Han lay on the machine and pounded the wall with his hands.

happy.

I'm just very happy.

Since being abandoned three years ago, his predecessor had been living in fear and anxiety, unable to see the future and without any expectation for life.

In this bustling and turbulent metropolis, there seems to be no place for him.

Lin Han liked to hold his younger brother's hand and do hand exercises. It wasn't entirely out of desire, but only when that warm current burst forth from his body did he feel that he was still alive.

Sometimes I'd burst into tears while hitting someone, and after I finished and covered myself with the blanket, the cold moonlight streamed into the room. Then, in the middle of the night, I'd be woken by the sound of thunder and rain. I'd make myself a bowl of braised beef noodles, go to the balcony, and look around at the pitch blackness, as if I could see my future reflected there.

Every time he came home from school, walking down the brightly lit, bustling street, he would always buy a bottle of Yibao (a popular children's beverage brand). He wasn't actually thirsty, but he always needed to hold something in his hand to make him feel safe.

A beautiful woman on the street is arm in arm with her boyfriend, looking at him under the neon lights with a sweet smile, a smile he has never experienced before in his life.

Before merging with the memories of the transmigrator, Lin Han was a reclusive and decadent shut-in. Although he tried to study, he mostly lived a muddled life, otherwise he wouldn't have been Cen Sisi's dog.

People who are abandoned as children, raised and taught by no one, yet remain confident, optimistic, and fearless of hardship only exist in online novels. How could such marginalized individuals in reality possibly be confident?

But things are different now; Lin Han has been reborn.

Having no interest in women, he never felt so powerful.

After putting away his bank card, Lin Han went to the city center first.

Lin Han is still hungry because he spent his dinner time attending Yan Yuli's birthday party.

He arrived at the entrance of a restaurant called "Haibawang Seafood Buffet".

This is a high-end buffet restaurant, and the price of 299 yuan per person is enough to deter any working person.

Lin Han would never forget the day when Cen Sisi, her male best friend, and he passed by this place. Cen Sisi suggested eating at this buffet, but because he didn't have any money, he could only make an excuse to leave.

He just watched helplessly as Cen Sisi and her male best friend went upstairs.

Now that he has money, he really wants to see what the hell this buffet has to offer.

Lin Han paid his admission fee and then indulged in a feast at the restaurant.

So lobsters as thick as a thigh really exist! So there are so many ways to eat hairy crabs! So abalone doesn't taste that great after all.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lin Han felt a pang of heartache again.

299 is gone just like that. That money would have been enough to feed myself for a week!

It wouldn't be considered particularly delicious, but it's definitely expensive. And after eating it, you feel full, it's no different from eating plain white rice.

Damn it, Cen Sisi is only at this level!

Although Lin Han is now wealthy, his years of frugality have instilled in him good habits.

It was the first time he had ever spent so much money on a meal, and he still found it hard to accept.

After finishing his meal, Lin Han went to the mall again and bought a few clothes he liked.

Everything we eat eventually turns into feces, but clothes are different; they can be used indefinitely.

So Lin Han treated himself better and bought a lot of new clothes.

Finally, he arrived at a barbershop that looked very luxurious.

Previously, Lin Han always had an unkempt hairstyle.

Ever since that damned barber gave him a bowl cut, every time he goes to the barbershop, the barber behind him cuts his hair the same way. For two weeks after each haircut, he has to wear that bowl cut, which looks absolutely awful.

Therefore, Lin Han has always been very resistant to getting haircuts, and often only gets them cut when his hair grows long enough to cover his eyes.

Now, Lin Han has decided to spend more money to get her hair done properly.

As soon as Lin Han sat down, a stylish hairstylist named Tony immediately came to greet him.

"Handsome, want to get your hair washed?"

How much does it cost to get a haircut?

Lin Han would absolutely not sit down until he had clearly asked about the price.

"Wash, cut, and blow-dry for 50."

It's a bit pricey, but that's to be expected if it's located in the city center.

Lin Han said, "I want to soften my hair with a perm."

Upon hearing this, Tony's eyes lit up. "Sure, come upstairs with me."

This was the first time Lin Han had ever seen a barbershop with two floors. He nodded and followed Tony to the second floor.

Unlike the spacious and bright lobby on the first floor, the second floor is a corridor with many rooms that are rather dark and cramped.

Tony led Lin Han into the room and turned on the light. Lin Han discovered that the room didn't even have windows.

Goodness, is this the place where this barbershop hides its "secret skills"?

Tony took a bottle of medicine from the cabinet.

"Handsome, let me recommend our shop's signature hair treatment to you. It's only 500 yuan and will make your hair incredibly compliant, plus it also nourishes your scalp!"

Lin Han thought about it for a while, remembering how ugly his hair always looked after a haircut, and considering that 500 yuan for a perm wasn't expensive, he agreed.

“Okay, handsome, let’s get your hair washed first,” Tony said.

At the same time, a sly smile inadvertently appeared on his lips as he gently covered the "500/gram" label on the medicine with his hand.

013. Do you know you've broken the law?

I must say, as expected of Tony, his technique is quite good.

During the shampooing process, Tony gave Lin Han a full-body massage. Lin Han, who used to only go to small barbershops, had never experienced such a comfortable massage before.

After washing his hair, Lin Han sat down in front of the chair.

"What kind of hairstyle do you want?" Tony asked.

"It's Japanese style, I guess," Lin Han said.

"What is Japanese style?" Tony asked, puzzled.

Lin Han then slapped his forehead: "No, it's cherry blossom style."

I didn't realize it for a moment; my memories were all jumbled up.

In this parallel world, due to the war in 1999, the world was reshuffled, and China incorporated both Japan and South Korea into its territory.

"Okay, I would have known if you had told me earlier that it was cherry blossoms."

After Tony finished speaking with a smile, he began to skillfully apply the medicine to Lin Han.

An hour later, Lin Han's hair was done.

He completely shed his unkempt image, his hair was tousled with a touch of laziness, and his bangs were styled in an "M" shape.

This is just like a typical anime male protagonist's head!

Lin Han's appearance is not bad; he has regular features and is even a little handsome upon closer inspection.

It's just that because she usually keeps her hair in a wild and unruly way, and doesn't know how to dress, she only has a few outfits all year round, so her good looks are sealed away.

Now, with his new clothes and a makeover, he looks so handsome that it wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to train for two and a half years and then participate in a talent show.

"Not bad." Lin Han looked at himself in the mirror and exclaimed sincerely.

At first, when Lin Han saw Tony's hair with a protruding, cow-like shape at the front, and as his head swayed, he was worried about the barber's aesthetic sense.

It seems alright now.

"Absolutely, my name, Tony, is well-deserved."

Tony flicked his flowing blond hair and said smugly.

"Okay, handsome, can I borrow some money over here?"

"can."

Lin Han got up from his seat, while Tony went to the desk next to him and printed out a bill.

"Handsome, you've just happened to catch our promotion. We'll waive the wash, cut, and blow-dry fee, and only charge you for the chemicals. Plus, we'll give you a 0.8% discount on the chemicals."

20% off?

Is there such a good thing? !

Lin Han was touched. What was the difference between this and getting a free haircut?

He had seen many news reports about downtown barbershops extorting money from customers, and he was still a little worried.

Now it seems we were worrying for nothing! Isn't this a living Buddha in our time?!

Tony's swaying, cow-like hairstyle looked increasingly handsome, and Lin Han even wished he could have the same style.

“Can I pay by card?”

"Of course!"

When Lin Han took the bill from Tony's hand, he looked somewhat confused.

"Boss, did you print this wrong?"

"what happened?"

"Why does it look like eight thousand to me?"
