With much deliberation, Jiang Yu parted her hair and put the rest out of the way. Wei Yi Yi felt some of them falling into her shoulder. When a breeze passed around them, a shiver run up her bare nape. And almost immediately, the rusting sound of metallic hairpins colliding with each other follow suit. A large portion of her hair was then dropped over her head and falls down directly into her face.
"…Boss, what exactly are you doing?" Wei Yi Yi asked. Her security vanished and suddenly, she don't feel safe at all.
When Wei Yi Yi tried to turn her head, Jiang Yu grabbed both of her cheeks. He told her, "Relax. Don't move around, Wei Yi Yi."
With two hands holding both her cheeks in ransom, Wei Yi Yi's desire to move intensified. The force she was repressing turned her muscles numb as it accumulated--- her eyes twitched uncontrollably. From rigid, she then went stiff.
Her hair is not only blocking her view but also touching her fair skin teasingly. Finally, she wasn't able to hold it in and sneezed loudly; her head jerked rudely as a bodily respond.
Jiang Yu got shocked and almost stabbed her with the hairpin in his hand. "Wei Yi Yi!!" he reprimanded.
"Alright! Alright! I'll behave more! Don't get mad Boss!"
Wei Yi Yi shift a bit and fixed her posture. She sat there, ready to sacrifice herself--- she meant hair! Her hair! Everything for Boss hair fetish!
A few touch here and a few touch there, Jiang Yu rampage on her head continued for a long time. She have no idea as to what he is planning exactly. One time, he was combing her hair and then he would reach out for pins and poke her with it--- yes, poke her. Like literally. Forget about 'putting' it, he was 'poking' her! And then, like he was giving up, he would return to combing instead again. When Jiang Yu let go one time and let her hair fall down straightly at her back, Wei Yi Yi doubted whether he's really trying to do her hairdo or he's just making excuses to touch a hair and hide his hair fetish.
With someone stroking her head, Wei Yi Yi almost fell asleep. Jiang Yu nudge her awake just before that.
Rubbing her eyes, she looked at the mirror only get a wild scare. Now, with her eyes wide open, she looked once, then twice, and finally stare while questioning every aspect of it.
In a frank statement, it's like her hair was suddenly grabbed by someone then dump it into the top of her head. Just think about the length of her hair! Imagine all that volume forcefully shoved in one place! Should she be amaze that he was able to tie it? There's also some braiding attempts sticking out from place to place. Yes, attempts because she couldn't describe exactly if he just suck so badly or if he quitted midway.
Wei Yi Yi was speechless. Was this supposed to be a high bun or what? The few hairpins in her hair were useless as it wasn't able to serve their actual purpose. The one that did is that random hair ribbon that's supporting the whole 'hairstyle'.
'What a waste of a meticulously crafted hairpins,' Wei Yi Yi thought as she reached out to touch the hair ribbon. The moment her fingers came in contact, her mind crashed.
'He knotted it! He knotted it! Can I just cut my hair then?!'
With the way he was touching her, she knew he's inexperience. Wei Yi Yi does not have any high expectation but honestly, this is worse!
After the initial shock, Wei Yi Yi heaved a sigh of relief. She said softly, "I thought I was seeing things but then, boss is still boss."
Earlier, Wei Yi Yi almost had a heart attack. Although this one too is worth fainting over. Thankfully she's one-of-the-boys type of girl and wasn't bothered that long about it.
"What are you saying? Tell me what you think." Jiang Yu speak up to garner attention.
Wei Yi Yi saw him fidget a little bit. He's eyes blinking in expectation. It was an image of a child that did not know he messed things up and even asking for praise--- probably, but that's exactly what she's seeing.
She wanted to look at him like he was some kind of mistake, but she remember that Lan Zhuang always telling that we must embrace our mistakes. And so, she grabbed Jiang Yu's hands, tug a little bit, and put his arms over her shoulders. Wei Yi Yi then hugged Jiang Yu, willingly accepting 'their' failure of a boss, she laid in his embrace for a moment.
As someone in the same state as him, Wei Yi Yi understood completely. They were at that complicated age. While some of their generation is having a child and creating a family, they were stuck watching 'animes' or reading 'novels' and still asking their parents if they could stay out late--- Not knowing if their maturity was block somewhere, got lost along the way or if others around them just really mature quickly.
For sure, Boss wasn't able to hold it in and act on his childish desire.
"It's alright," she told him, indicating she was not bothered by his secret. Jiang Yu perceived it in another way and was hit with happiness. Thankfully, his empress cannot see so he didn't bother hiding the strange hotness in his cheeks and instead returned her hug. Squeezing her tighter in embrace.
At that moment, Wei Yi Yi decided that other than supporting her Boss, she'll accompany him at times and teach him to relax. That there's nothing wrong with leaves and vacations or even not working on holidays for double pay.
People can't return to being a child. Everyone always wish to grow up quickly but once they saw the harsh reality, they then wish to remain as a child.
For Wei Yi Yi, age will always be just a number. The concept of time is complicated and might as well be an illusion. Even if others told her she failed to grow as her age accumulated, in reality, people all have a child within their selves. The only difference is she acts on it and does not bother about society's standard. As long as one can act mature when needed or stand up when times calls for it, then does it matter if we act on our childish desires when we want to?
