Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 549 - 551: Able to Grace the Halls and Enter the Kitchen
"Yes, yes, yes, a champion in all ten events." π§πβ―ππππππ°π·π¦π.πΈβ΄π
Xia Xiao praised generously.
As men age, the process of aging actually slows down, while women tend to age faster.
Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing, who had always been nourished by the spring water for decades, therefore stood out distinctly among their peers.
Especially when compared with peers like Yu Shijie, He Xuebing, and Gao Jiazhi, Gao Jiaxing seemed to be aging in reverse. Gao Jiaxing used to look older and was taller, and standing next to Gao Jiazhi, others would think Gao Jiaxing was the older brother.
Now, however, the difference was obvious, even He Xuebing, who was known for his refined good looks, appeared older than Gao Jiaxing.
Xia Xiao goes without saying, standing next to Feiling, they looked like sisters, and many people asked Xia Xiao for her beauty secrets. Unlike before, she no longer simply claimed to be naturally beautiful, but talked about her diet, daily rest, and other beauty routines.
"Iβll show off my physique in a bit, and youβll know whether Iβve aged or not," Gao Jiaxing stopped bickering with Xia Xiao and thought actions would speak better.
The couple fiddled around the television, Xia Xiao watched from the side, occasionally handing a cup of tea to Gao Jiaxing.
Before long, Gao Jiaxing had fixed the television, and it no longer had a scrambled or flickering screen.
Xia Xiao stood up and said, "Iβm going to take a shower and wash my hair," then headed towards the bedroom.
Gao Jiaxing turned off the television and silently followed her.
Xia Xiao was preparing the bathwater in the bathroom, then came out to prepare clothes, with Gao Jiaxing following her like a wolf with a big tail, saying, "Honey, prepare a set of clothes for me too."
But unlike Xia Xiao, the reborn, Gao Jiaxing adapted better to the trends, casually calling her βwifeβ or βwife dearβ, which, although common terms, he coined with a hint of whimsical affection.
Gao Jiaxing, a stern-faced soldier on the outside, yet with a clingy heart within, often revealed his childish side around Xia Xiao.
At this moment, how could Xia Xiao not understand Gao Jiaxingβs thoughts? Although he always claimed she was a fierce tiger, Xia Xiao felt more like a wolf. Cloaked in a tigerβs hide but with the spirit of a colorful wolf, always appearing so serious.
"I need to wash my hair," Xia Xiao said.
"Let me wash it for you, itβs too much trouble for you to do it yourself. Silly, why lift a finger when you have a husband to help?" Gao Jiaxing offered.
Xia Xiao nodded happily at the suggestion.
"Your touch is too light," Xia Xiao lay in the bathtub, with Gao Jiaxing washing her hair, but Gao Jiaxing barely dared apply any pressure, leaving Xia Xiao feeling he was just touching her hair without really scratching the itch.
Gao Jiaxing then gently applied more pressure and asked, "Is this pressure alright?"
"Just right," Xia Xiao hummed softly, soaking in the warm bathtub and gently scrubbing herself with a bath sponge; indeed, being pampered felt incredibly good.
Xia Xiao said, "Brother Gao, do you think I should cut my hair shorter, maybe change the style?" Her hair, well-maintained, black, shiny, smooth, and flowing, could star in a shampoo commercial.
But Xia Xiao hesitated about cutting it, changing the style, yet reluctant at heart made her conflicted.
"No need, it looks great as it is." Gao Jiaxing really liked Xia Xiaoβs dark, beautiful hair. Washing her hair now, he could hardly bear to let go.
"But the hair is too long, and itβs troublesome to wash. Although I do occasionally wash peopleβs hair, cutting it short would be more convenient."
Hearing this, not only did Xia Xiao feel conflicted, so did Gao Jiaxing.
If possible, he was willing to help her wash her hair, but he was not always available; and looking at her well-maintained, beautiful hair, it would be a shame to cut it off.
"When the time comes, Iβll cut it for you."
As soon as Gao Jiaxing said that, Xia Xiao immediately objected, "No, you can manage buzz cuts and crew cuts, but letβs leave it at that."
"Feilingβs hair when she was younger was all cut by me," Gao Jiaxing said.
Xia Xiao still shook her head, "Feiling had a studentβs haircut when she was younger. I donβt want a studentβs haircut."
"I have the basics down; learning other styles wouldnβt be difficult, plus your hair is straight and smooth, no need for straightening like some other women. Besides, my wife looks good in any hairstyle," Gao Jiaxing said, imagining which style would suit Xia Xiao best.
"You better not, it feels like a sin for a Major General to learn hairstyling for me."
Xia Xiao chuckled, previously Gao Jiaxing used to cut childrenβs hair, either buzz, crew, or student cuts, all quite simple.
She didnβt want any of those styles, and was also afraid that Gao Jiaxing might ruin her hair or make it look ugly; she didnβt dare to risk it.
Of course, Xia Xiao was even less inclined to let Gao Jiaxing learn hairstyling to cut her hair, but she was nonetheless touched by the gesture.
"Others might ruin your hair, not good for keeping." In Gao Jiaxingβs view, cutting Xia Xiaoβs hair himself, he couldnβt bear the thought of her hair falling to the ground and would want to keep it well.
"I wonβt cut it for now, not that I canβt bear to."
Soon after she finished her bath, Gao Jiaxing had washed her hair, then said, "I want to wash my hair too, can you help me?"
