Chapter 156: Blow-drying Hair

Come.

Help me blow-dry my hair.

But Lin Huan sat at the dressing table, a head of wet long hair hanging down, and handed the hair dryer in her hand to Su Sheng.

Su Sheng froze, hesitated a moment, then still walked over.

Su Sheng stood behind Lin Huan, took the hair dryer, and reached out to gently lift Huan Jie's soft, smooth hair.

Feeling the soft hair brush against his fingers in the warm breeze, and a familiar faint fragrance wafting over.

Su Sheng's expression became a little dazed for a moment.

How long has it been?

It's been over seven years, no…

It's been ten years.

Since I went to high school and lived on campus, I haven't helped Huan Jie blow-dry her hair again.

From childhood onward, including middle school, Huan Jie almost always had me blow-dry her hair after she washed it.

In his daze, a scene appeared in Su Sheng's mind.

In the old house before, a little boy strained to hold a hair dryer, blowing dry the hair of a pretty girl half a head taller than him.

"Huan Jie, your hair smells nice."

"That's the shampoo's scent; it'll smell nice when you wash your hair later."

"Huan Jie, you look beautiful."

"When I grow up, will you marry me?"

"Sure, big sis will wait for little Aseng to grow up and marry big sis." The pretty girl ruffled the little boy's hair.

"Then when will I be considered grown up?"

The girl stood up and compared their heights.

"When little Aseng grows this much taller than big sis, then Aseng will be grown up."

In his daze, looking at Huan Jie before him, it seemed he was now half a head taller than her.

"Aseng, what are you thinking about? You're so out of it, I called you twice and you didn't respond."

Huan Jie's voice came over.

"Ah?!"

Su Sheng came to his senses, recalling his random thoughts just now, and couldn't help but his face turned slightly red.

"I… I wasn't thinking about anything."

Su Sheng said somewhat unnaturally, although he had just zoned out, and it had been almost ten years since he last blow-dried Huan Jie's hair.

But from childhood on, he's done this so many times he couldn't count; even in a daze, Su Sheng's hand movements were like muscle memory—while he loosened Lin Huan's hair with one hand, he moved the hair dryer with the other, so the dryer didn't stay fixed in one spot due to his distraction and scorch Lin Huan.

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, her snow‑soft shoulders still dotted with beads of water, and from this angle, Su Sheng lowering his head could just see the astonishing cleavage that the towel couldn't fully cover.

Su Sheng couldn't help feeling his mouth dry; was his feeling for Huan Jie really just that of a sister?

Many times, Su Sheng would give himself this psychological hint.

But looking back, it seemed like self‑deception.

For a moment, Su Sheng zoned out again.

And Su Sheng completely forgot that this was a dressing table.

Every move Su Sheng made was clearly seen by Lin Huan through the dressing table mirror.

Lin Huan had originally intended to ask Su Sheng what he wanted her to do, but instead of continuing to speak, she revealed a hint of a meaningful smile, then slightly closed her eyes to enjoy Su Sheng's 'service'.

This familiar feeling has been gone for over ten years.

…

"Aseng, Huanhuan has had breakfast."

Only when the voice of old Mother Huang Hui came from outside the door did Su Sheng snap back to his senses.

"Cough cough…"

After coming to, Su Sheng realized his eyes were still fixed on that astonishing cleavage; upon seeing that Huan Jie had closed her eyes, he finally let out a breath of relief.

"That's about enough, Huan Jie; I'll go wash my hands first, we can talk more after breakfast."

Having said that, Su Sheng put down the hair dryer and practically fled Huan Jie's room, but before leaving he took a deep breath to make himself look normal.

…

At the dining table.

Su Sheng looked at Lin Huan beside him with his usual expression: "Huan Jie, during the day you browse the forums and look for monster groups around level 40 in Wutong Town."

Su Sheng has to work during the day; although it's relaxed, it's not that he has nothing to do.

As for searching in the game, the whole game map is so huge, who knows how much time it would take.

"Okay."

Lin Huan directly nodded in agreement; anyway, during the day she and her Huakai sisters either nap for beauty treatments or hang out on the game forums, at most occasionally going out shopping.

"I'll help you look too."

Su Ba spoke up at this point.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, I'm not planning to sell that Alliance Building Order; I intend to start my own guild."

Su Sheng recalled something and spoke up about it.

"Ah?"

Mother Huang Hui blinked: "You want to use it yourself? That's…"

Huang Hui still remembered, Li Wenwan had blurted out ten million.

「Dad, Mom, just believe in A Sheng; if that thing is used well, the value it can exert will definitely be more than ten million。」

At this moment, Lin Huan chimed in.

「This... okay. 」 Huang Hui, seeing this, also didn't say anything else.

「Then A Sheng, when your guild is built, Mom and Dad will also go help. 」 Su Ba said.

The old couple didn't really understand this game thing, but they just wanted to help a little.

「Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I have it figured out. 」 Su Sheng gave his parents a reassuring smile.

The matter of building the guild was basically settled.

Su Sheng had even begun to imagine himself being the first to reach level 40, then going to Main City to be the first to establish a guild.

By then, just how big an advantage his guild could gain was simply unimaginable.

Unless others are also lucky, otherwise, given the premise that First Tier players only have the strength to push a level 40 lord boss around level 50, Su Sheng's guild could at least gain a one-month lead in development.

The level range from 40 to 50 roughly takes a little over a month.

This is also why Shen Wang directly offered fifty million to purchase the Alliance Order.

For a large guild, a one-month lead is simply a terrifying advantage.

But it's still early; Su Sheng is only level 33, and he doesn't even have a stable training spot yet.

After breakfast, Su Sheng went to work.

…

A day's work was also spent listening to college students and his subordinates discuss the content of 《Chasing the Deer》.

The popularity of Chasing the Deer is truly unprecedented.

They also asked Su Sheng if he played; Su Sheng nodded, but he didn't reveal his nickname.

They said they wanted to pull him in to play together, but Su Sheng politely declined, saying he was just going in to take a look.

After getting off work and arriving home, Su Sheng saw that only Huan Jie was sitting in the living room.

「Huan Jie, where are Mom and Dad? 」 Su Sheng asked while taking off his coat.

「They're in the room, getting ready to play the game. 」 Lin Huan laughed as she walked over, and, in passing, took the coat Su Sheng had just taken off and helped hang it on the nearby rack.

Lin Huan's action made Su Sheng involuntarily stare, giving him a strange feeling like a husband coming home to be greeted by his wife.

However, Su Sheng collected himself, discarded that strange thought, and began changing his shoes.

「Huan Jie, are you waiting for me? 」 Su Sheng asked, lowering his head to change his shoes.

「Yeah, the thing you said this morning... 」
