Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 496 - 92 Overwhelmed by One’s Own Beauty
Chapter 496 -92 Overwhelmed by One’s Own Beauty
Zhou Hongyu, with her hair freshly washed, sat in the hair salon chair, her face as cold as ice, silent.
At that moment, she suddenly had a subtle premonition, an inexplicable feeling that Yan Yu was her nemesis—she couldn’t catch a break with him on the battlefield, and in life, he bullied and manipulated her relentlessly, leaving her utterly defeated!
She should never have taken him to her grandmother’s house!
Although Yan Yu had no idea what she was thinking, he could probably guess some of it. At the moment, he was chatting nonchalantly with Teacher Tony:
“Why is curly hair more suitable for her?”
“We don’t do hairstyling blindly.” replied Teacher Tony, “One has to consider the person’s face shape, and also their temperament.”
...
“Captain Zhou is actually very pretty, but her temperament is too tough. Curly hair will make her look softer and help balance out that trait.”
“Ha-ha, tough.” Yan Yu winked at Zhou Hongyu, “Definitely tough.”
Zhou Hongyu glared at him coldly.
“Cough cough.” Teacher Tony felt a bit awkward and quickly explained, “Androgynous style is also a trend in aesthetics, it’s not that it doesn’t look good.”
“It’s fine.” said Yan Yu, “Curly hair is more feminine, so let’s do curly… Should we do a full wave perm, or just curl certain parts?”
“That depends on what she wants.” Teacher Tony looked at Zhou Hongyu, seeking her input.
Zhou Hongyu didn’t want to speak.
“Then let’s do a full wave perm.” Yan Yu pondered, “How about dying it too?”
“What color do you want to dye it?” asked Teacher Tony.
“How about bright red?” Yan Yu suggested with a smile, “After all, Hongyu has ‘Hong’ in her name. Dye it the red of New Year’s lanterns, festive.”
Teacher Tony didn’t think it was a good idea, but didn’t dare to refute Yan Yu directly, so she just gave an awkward smile.
“I’ll punch you in the nose later, make your entire face super red.” Zhou Hongyu finally couldn’t keep silent, she said fiercely.
Reality isn’t an anime, and red hair can easily look tacky like a country funeral. Although she didn’t care much about her looks, she had no desire to take such a risk.
“Don’t like red?” Yan Yu stroked his chin and thought for a moment before suggesting, “How about green then? Forest style.”
“Why don’t we go with ash blonde?” Teacher Tony quickly suggested, afraid Yan Yu would come up with something more preposterous like “alternate red and green,” which would infuriate Zhou Hongyu enough to wreck the salon.
“No.” Zhou Hongyu said decisively, “Not dying it.”
“Alright then.” Yan Yu knew she was drawing a line, and said with a laugh, “Then just a perm.”
He sat at the entrance of the hair salon waiting, the receptionist had already hung up a “Temporarily Closed” sign, and she leaned in to ask Yan Yu if he would mind taking a photo together.
“Sure.” said Yan Yu, “Let’s take it together after Xiao Lian’s hair is permed.”
Zhou Hongyu shuddered at that: What? Perming her hair was one thing, but taking photos as evidence too?
“The photo can be hung on that wall over there.” Yan Yu suggested.
“I’m going to hang you up on that wall in a minute.” Zhou Hongyu could no longer contain herself and warned him.
“Ha ha ha.” laughed Teacher Tony, “You two have a pretty good relationship.”
Zhou Hongyu closed her eyes, trying hard to resist the urge to curse.
Which eye of yours sees that we have a pretty good relationship? If you’re not using it, I suggest you donate it to the blind.
“Of course.” Yan Yu boldly acknowledged, “Even though I beat her in the competition, our relationship outside of it is very good. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be accompanying her here, right?”
“Indeed.” the receptionist agreed, “The fans of both your teams are fighting so fiercely online, making it seem like you can’t coexist. But when you think about it, that’s not possible, right? Perhaps one day, both your teams will have to fight together for the country. How could you fall out over one competition? It must be the fans venting their emotions.”
Zhou Hongyu closed her eyes, not wanting to see her reflection in the mirror.
Better not.
Teaming up with the Zhenhai Team to compete for the country, she was afraid she’d find it impossible to resist hitting Yan Yu with a Great Bright Fire from behind.
After what felt like an eternity, she finally heard Teacher Tony say:
“Alright, how do you think it looks?”
“Incredible,” Yan Yu exclaimed, “feels like she could debut as an idol right now.”
Zhou Hongyu opened her eyes, about to scoff and say something, but suddenly she froze.
In the mirror, after the change to curly hair, the original fierce and indifferent demeanor that said ‘keep out’ had mostly vanished.
She tried to purse her lips, and the reflection did the same, her face still showing no sign of anger, disgust, or coldness, but instead looking a bit… wronged?
“How about it?” Yan Yu asked with a smile, evaluating her new look, “Doesn’t this make you look even more like a beauty?”
“Captain Zhou was always a beauty,” Teacher Tony flattered from the side, “With such a good foundation, I’ve never seen anything like it since I opened my business.”
“Not really,” Zhou Hongyu stood up and headed straight out of the shop.
She felt inexplicably irked and flustered.
The people in the shop were stunned, but Yan Yu quickly caught on, promptly scanned the code to pay, and then chased after Zhou Hongyu.
“So now you admit you lost the bet?” he asked with a chuckling tone.
“I don’t admit it,” Zhou Hongyu said.
“You intend to renege?” Yan Yu exclaimed in shock.
“Hmph,” Zhou Hongyu smiled slightly, “It’s based on my personal feelings, what’s this about reneging? If you think it’s unfair, don’t make bets.”
This was the third type of smile Yan Yu saw on her face, not that cold smile that seemed to bite, not the fierce smile brimming with killing intent, but a mischievous smile with a touch of smugness. It not only didn’t displease, but it made her appear even more playful and charming.
Seeing Yan Yu staring somewhat dumbfounded, Zhou Hongyu quickly came to her senses and swiftly resumed her expressionless icy facade, saying in a muffled voice:
“I’m going back.”
“Wait,” Yan Yu said, “there’s one more place we haven’t been to.”
“Hmm?” Zhou Hongyu furrowed her brows.
“Manicure and eyelash extensions,” Yan Yu explained.
Zhou Hongyu paused for a moment, then suddenly turned and ran.
“Don’t run!” Yan Yu chased after her relentlessly, shouting, “Captain Zhou! Our bet isn’t over yet!”
“Get lost!”
“While you were getting your hair permed with your eyes closed, I took a lot of photos!” Yan Yu once again brought out his leverage against Zhou Hongyu, “You wouldn’t want me to send the pictures to Zhang Huaide and the others, would you?”
“Do whatever you want!” Zhou Hongyu shouted back in embarrassment and anger, “I won’t be threatened by you anymore!”
A few minutes later, she sat in the shop, wearing a mask, allowing the beautician to do her nails.
“This is the last time,” Zhou Hongyu transmitted to Yan Yu, “If you dare threaten me with any reason again, I will take you down with me.”
“Don’t worry.” At this point, Yan Yu wasn’t in the mood to tease her anymore and instead took out his phone to check new messages.
Su Yunjin sent a message saying everyone had already had dinner and was now preparing to go to KTV to sing. She also sent the specific address.
Tang Xiaolian also sent a message, asking him how things were going and if he had been fiercely scolded by Captain Zhou yet.
Yan Yu replied to the former, saying “We’ll be there in a bit”; and mocked the latter with, “Your Captain Zhou is already at my mercy.”
Su Yunjin replied with a smiley face, while Tang Xiaolian sent back, “I don’t believe it, you’re trying to play me again.”
“We’re heading to KTV to sing later,” Yan Yu said nonchalantly to Zhou Hongyu, “to meet up with everyone.”
Zhou Hongyu didn’t respond but absent-mindedly took out her phone, without unlocking the screen, just looking at her reflection in it.

After a while, she closed her eyes again.
…Forget it, I’ll just change it back later.
