7: The Young Master Doesn’t Want a Pompadour
“The next morning”
“No! Stop! What are you all doing?!”
Accompanied by shrill screams, Wu Liang, with an indescribable amount of foam on his head, stumbled out of the sickroom.
His expression was one of panic, as if he had encountered something terrifying, making him look utterly disheveled.
Had these maids gone mad? The moment he opened his eyes, they began stripping off his clothes.
If it weren’t for the fact that these girls were dressed in maid uniforms similar to Yao Shi’s, Wu Liang would have thought they were trying to assault him.
“What the devil is going on…”
Leaning against the wall, Wu Liang panted, having exerted a Herculean effort to escape from those girls.
Who were these girls anyway? If he remembered correctly, Wu Liang was supposed to have only Yao Shi as his personal maid.
Where had Yao Shi gone? Who could explain to him what was going on with these girls who had suddenly appeared in his room?
“Master Wu Liang, please don’t move! We’re just trying to dress you and do your hair.”
The maids emerged from the room, holding clothes and a curling iron, looking quite imposing.
Yet, they were puzzled by the frantic look on Master Wu Liang’s face. Wasn’t it always them who attended to him?
Why did the young master look as if he had seen a ghost upon seeing them today?
“I can dress myself, and as for that hair wax and curling iron in your hands…”
Wu Liang wiped the sticky substance from his head, suddenly having a bad feeling.
Wasn’t that a bit too much hair wax? Unless it was for some special hairstyle, there was no need for so much.
“Master Wu Liang, your pompadour requires a special style, which is difficult to achieve on your own.”
“Weren’t we the ones who always styled your hair into a pompadour? Why do you refuse it today?”
The girls looked at each other, utterly baffled.
Why is the young master so resistant to us today? Did we do something wrong?
“Huh?? Pompadour???!”
It was only then that Wu Liang remembered something crucial—his character in the game indeed sported a villainous pompadour.
It was said to be Wu Liang’s most distinctive aesthetic in the game, believing the pompadour exuded an air of supreme authority.
Not only did it provide a visual impact, but it also highlighted his rebellious and unruly aura.
“No… let’s skip the pompadour… you won’t need to bother with it anymore… I really can’t pull it off…”
Wu Liang said helplessly, covering his forehead. In the game, Wu Liang was a true pompadour enthusiast; how could he have forgotten about this?
But personally, he couldn’t really handle the pompadour. From today on, it would be better to bid farewell to that hairstyle.
“What! You’re actually giving up the pompadour!!!”
The maids’ eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at Wu Liang.
The young master, who had adored the pompadour for 17 years, was now abandoning his creed!!!
“Stop beating a dead horse… Let’s not talk about the pompadour anymore… It’s so embarrassing…”
Wu Liang’s eyes twitched as he looked at the maids. Stop it, don’t mention such embarrassing things anymore.
Are you deliberately teasing me here? He couldn’t accept the pompadour setting.
“I didn’t mean anything by it, just surprised that the young master would suddenly give up the pompadour.”
A maid who appeared to be around 17 pushed up her glasses, somewhat concerned.
After all, for the young master, the pompadour was as important as life itself.
To say he would discard it so easily was worrying. Was the young master troubled by something?
“No… that’s not it… I just…”
“The young master’s thoughts are not for us to fathom. Since he has decided to give up the pompadour from today, we, as maids, only need to comply.”
The crisp sound of pure black high heels echoed on the corridor floor.
Yao Shi, now dressed in a different set of tight, short-skirted Japanese maid attire, approached from afar.
Compared to the elegant and pristine European maid’s long dress, the Japanese-style tight little black dress accentuated Yao Shi’s curvaceous and enticing figure.
The skirt, just long enough to cover two-thirds of her thighs, wrapped around the lace-trimmed sheer white stockings, snugly fitting her shapely legs.
Even Wu Liang, who prided himself on his strong will, couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at Yao Shi’s slender legs.
“Young master, it’s getting late.
“You may all leave now. From today onwards, the young master will attend to his daily routines by himself.”
“Is this what you mean, Master Wu Liang?”
While instructing the maid in front of her, Yao Shi turned to look at Wu Liang.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the current Master Wu Liang was no longer the same as before.
All in all, it was a good thing. One could say that the young master had suddenly come to his senses, or that the lead ball had thoroughly awakened him.
“That’s right, so you maids, I can take care of dressing and washing up by myself from now on.”
Wu Liang looked at Yao Shi, who was wearing high heels that were a good 7cm tall, almost reaching his height.
Her presence was surprisingly strong, making him stare in astonishment.
But upon seeing the snow-white patch on her chest, Wu Liang’s face turned red, and he quickly turned his head away.
“Alright then, since Master Wu Liang has said so, we shall take our leave.”
The maids exchanged a peculiar glance, as if wondering why the young master had suddenly changed into a different person.
But upon meeting Yao Shi’s icy gaze, their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly left the place.
“You’ve scared them.”
Wu Liang couldn’t help but laugh and cry as he watched the young girls scurry away as if they had seen a ghost.
After all, you are all maids; there’s no need to be so fearful of Yao Shi.
“I am the young master’s personal maid; my status is naturally much higher than theirs.”
“Plus, due to my own personality, it’s normal for those kids to be afraid of me.”
Yao Shi shook her head; she had always been a loner among the many maids.
Moreover, due to her overly cold nature, the other maids would only sneak away upon seeing her.
“You… never mind… let’s not talk about this now… I have to go to school…”
Wu Liang patted Yao Shi’s shoulder with a heavy heart.
He thought about finding a way to help Yao Shi make some friends…
