After trimming off this section of hair, Liu Shimei combed through it to make it smooth and then decisively snipped away all the overgrown strands.
Huangfu Lingyao was speechless.
If only he had known, he wouldn't have played!
He asked in distress, "Wife, how could you cut your hair?"
Liu Shimei glanced at him and said matter-of-factly, "It was too tangled. A quick cut is the most appropriate solution, isn't it?"
"But..." Huangfu Lingyao paused, thinking of a brilliant excuse, "Isn't our body a gift from our parents?"
Liu Shimei chuckled and said, "My mother is no longer here, and as for my father... forget it, there's nothing worth treasuring."
Huangfu Lingyao roared in his heart, "But I treasure it! Such beautiful hair!"
Then he sank into deep self-loathing and thought, 'Why did I have to be so curious? It's all my fault!'
