Chapter 553 - 553 0554 Emitting a Minty Fresh Scent

553: Chapter 0554: Emitting a Minty Fresh Scent 553: Chapter 0554: Emitting a Minty Fresh Scent Ye Qiu comfortably closed his eyes as girl number eight washed his hair; however, he noticed that whenever the haircutting girl got close, he could smell a fresh scent similar to mint.

Could it be that haircutting girl number eight had put on perfume?

In such circumstances, or perhaps it was natural for women, it was quite normal to wear perfume.

When Ye Qiu remained silent, He Yuqing also stayed quiet.

She was a person of few words, not at all like the other hair-washing girls, or like girl number three, who would always be asking the customer here and there, mainly to fish out the customer’s identity and see what their actual worth was.

As for why they wanted to extract information from the customers, that was the other hair-washing girls’ own business.

“What’s your name?” Ye Qiu asked.

He Yuqing was surprised; she hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to ask for her name.

All she had was a work badge labeled “Number Eight.” If any of the hair-washing girls did something unsatisfactory, they could be reported to the manager of the establishment.

At a minimum, they would face a fine and apologize to the customer; a more severe penalty might be docked pay or termination.

He Yuqing had been working as a hair-washing girl for half a year, but almost no one had asked her name because she wasn’t as pretty as the other girls, and she dressed conservatively, nowhere near as revealingly as the other hair-washing girls.

“I—I’m Ah Qing!” He Yuqing said.

“Is that your real name?”

“Yes, I don’t have a nickname.”

Even though hair-washing girls didn’t have a great reputation, that was at places like hair salons.

Here, their work was simply washing hair for customers, and He Yuqing didn’t see anything wrong with that.

“Did you wear any perfume?”

Perfume?

He Yuqing thought about it and realized she hadn’t put on perfume.

But quickly, she looked at Ye Qiu and said, “Sir, please wait a moment, I need to go in for a bit.”

He Yuqing washed her hands and then hurried to a restroom inside the club.

Ye Qiu found this odd, thinking she might need to use the restroom.

When He Yuqing came back out and began to wash Ye Qiu’s hair again, Ye Qiu noticed that the minty fresh scent on her was even stronger.

What exactly was this scent?

“Did you go in to put on perfume just now?” Ye Qiu asked.

He Yuqing appeared somewhat shy and blushed.

No one else seemed to notice as she whispered, “I didn’t put on perfume.”

“Then what?”

“I’m embarrassed to say.”

Indeed, He Yuqing was too embarrassed to speak of it.

After all, it was her personal matter as a girl, and now this customer was inquiring about it.

Since that was the case, Ye Qiu didn’t press further.

After He Yuqing had washed Ye Qiu’s hair twice and used a dry towel to pat the water dry, she said, “Sir, you’re all set.”

As Ye Qiu got up, he noticed He Yuqing occasionally touching her leg, unsure if it was because she felt an itch or some other reason.

He Yuqing saw Ye Qiu glancing over and seemed even more embarrassed.

However, the regular staff inside the salon saw that Ye Qiu had finished washing his hair, so the next steps would be cutting or dyeing his hair, and so on.

“Sir, are you here for a haircut?

Please follow us this way.”

The female attendant said.

Ye Qiu followed the female attendant out to the main hall, where there were over a dozen hairdressers, all aged between their twenties and thirties.

They looked young and handsome and were dressed in very fashionable and tasteful attire.

However, these hairdressers seemed uninterested in attending to Ye Qiu upon seeing his attire.

“Sir, please feel free to choose any hairdresser to cut your hair!”

The female attendant said.

When Ye Qiu randomly picked a seat and sat down, the young hairdresser draped a cloth over his shoulders before asking in a somewhat effeminate manner, “Sir, how would you like your hair cut?”

Ye Qiu looked at himself in the mirror in front of him, acknowledging that his haircut really didn’t look good.

But he didn’t think much of it.

It was the height of summer in Great Xia, and the main thing was to cut it shorter.

“Any style will do!”

“Then I’ll give you a good-looking haircut.”

The young hairdresser still felt that Ye Qiu was dressed too plainly, lacking taste.

But since Ye Qiu was there to spend money, no matter how he had come in, the hairdresser decided to cut his hair according to his professional skills.

Ye Qiu sat there, almost closing his eyes and falling asleep.

About half an hour later, the effeminate young hairdresser said, “Sir, it’s done.

Do you see any issues?”

Clothes make the man, just as gold adorns the Buddha.

Now that Ye Qiu had just finished his haircut, he looked utterly revitalized.

He even seemed much more handsome.

“No, that’s fine.”

Having cut his hair, the female attendant then asked Ye Qiu to go back for a hair wash.

He went back to the same place where he had his hair washed earlier.

Aside from the number eight hair washer, other fashionable young women wearing revealing clothes were busy washing hair for other clients.

However, upon seeing Ye Qiu, He Yuqing walked over directly and asked him to lie down again.

As Ye Qiu lay there, He Yuqing wrapped a towel around his neck and covered his shoulders before applying the ‘Smooth’ shampoo to his hair since she knew Ye Qiu had no particular preference for shampoos.

Ye Qiu noticed that as soon as He Yuqing came close, he could smell that minty fragrance again, now mixed with another scent, making the aroma rather complex.

Half an hour before, Ye Qiu had asked about it, but He Yuqing had not answered.

Just as Ye Qiu was about to ask He Yuqing again, the phone of the number three hair washer, who had washed his hair earlier, rang.

She looked at her phone and then told the client, “My friend’s in trouble; I need to leave immediately.

Wait for number seven to finish and she will wash your hair for you.”

The number three hair washer didn’t wait for the client’s response and hurriedly left to ask the shop manager for leave.

Once she had left, the other hair washers began whispering among themselves, speculating about the reason for her sudden departure after receiving the phone call.

“Why do I smell that minty fragrance on you again?”

Ye Qiu asked.

He Yuqing was inwardly amused, finding this young client quite interesting.

These things, basically anyone with a little common sense would know, didn’t need to be explained by her.

Yet, it seemed this young client didn’t know.

“I’ll tell you, but you mustn’t tell anyone else.”

He Yuqing whispered.

“Go ahead.”

He Yuqing, finding that the other hair washers were preoccupied discussing the number three who had just left, whispered into Ye Qiu’s ear, “That’s the scent of feminine hygiene wash.”

Ye Qiu didn’t know before because it was the first time he had truly noticed the smell of feminine hygiene wash.

But once He Yuqing mentioned it, he seemed to realize what it was all about, didn’t he?
