Thousands of people disliked them, but after being reborn and correcting their mistakes, they regret

At this moment, Xu Fan was in the rented room, feeling both surprised and troubled.

He's going to be on TV, and in three days he'll be taking promotional photos. He's so ugly, won't he look terrible on camera? It'll be so embarrassing.

Although he was used to being embarrassed, he always felt very awkward and uncomfortable whenever he was evaluated by others. In his previous life, he had never received any praise or affirmation from anyone since birth. Now that he had been reborn, he did not expect others to like him, he only hoped that others would not hate him.

He wants to change himself!

Xu Fan pursed his lips and thought it over carefully, deciding to start with appearance.

He had just rented a house and moved, so he didn't have much money left. Every winter and summer vacation, he would work to earn his living expenses for a semester. The orphanage had already paid his tuition, so he couldn't ask them for more money.

He would save the money he earned for a semester. He spent a lot of money moving out of the dormitory this semester, and now he has moved to a new place. He can only scrape together a little over two hundred yuan.

He also needs to buy some daily necessities, and he needs to buy some decent clothes to go on TV. He also wants to get a haircut.

Is twenty yuan enough for a haircut...?

Xu Fan wasn't very familiar with the prices at the barbershops outside, and he had never been inside one before.

His deep-seated inferiority complex made him hesitate when he saw the barbershop's exquisite glass door and the bright, clear full-length mirror inside.

Xu Fan cheered himself up, thinking, "I've already lived a second life, what's there to be afraid of!"

Clutching the two hundred yuan in his hand, he found a barbershop.

Pushing open the door, you can smell the fresh scent of shampoo in the air. Inside, each of the "Tony" men is holding a walkie-talkie, wearing a headset, and dressed in a uniform black outfit, looking very flashy.

Xu Fan felt scared again. He thought these people were so sophisticated and trendy, but he still mustered up his courage and stepped forward to ask, "Excuse me, how much does a haircut cost?"

Tony, whose hair was dyed with gold glitter and whose makeup was exquisite, noticed him. When he heard Xu Fan's question, he put down his work and looked Xu Fan up and down.

That's how their store operates; they only serve customers with spending power so they can encourage them to top up their cards. They don't bother with ordinary customers.

The moment he saw Xu Fan's hairstyle, his pupils dilated in shock. Where did this homeless man come from? This hairstyle was the ugliest he had ever seen, bar none!

The left and right sides are uneven, and there is a strange upturn on the top, like two horns, and it is very long at the back.

He suspected this man had never cut his hair before; it was worse than a homeless person's! And look at his clothes—rough polyester fabric, covered in threads and cotton fibers from static electricity—he looked like a pauper!

He quickly looked away and went about his business, but he still said cautiously, "Our place is a membership-based business; you need to top up your card. Top-ups start at 2,000, and a haircut for members is 500."

So expensive!!! I couldn't afford to cut it even if I sold him.

Xu Fan felt a little embarrassed, said sorry for bothering her, and left the barbershop.

Sigh, there's nothing cheaper.

In his frustration, he passed through a small alley where a sign on the wall advertised a haircut for 20 yuan.

Xu Fan's eyes lit up; he was very satisfied with the price. He walked into the alley and, after walking about two hundred meters, saw a shop without even a signboard, with a few large black characters written on the old glass door.

"Wash, cut, blow-dry"

It's very simple and straightforward; you can tell at a glance that it's a barbershop.

Xu Fan pushed open the door and went in. Without the trepidation she felt at the previous barbershop, she found a simple small glass mirror inside. On the cabinet next to it were a few combs, a few pairs of scissors, and a dark hairdryer. Behind them was a place where you could lie down and have your hair washed.

Although it was simple, it still had everything you needed.

There was an old man on the right, lying in a rocking chair and fanning himself with a small fan.

Seeing Xu Fan walk in, he asked kindly, "Kid, are you washing your hair?"

Xu Fan hadn't noticed him, but was startled by the voice, and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, Grandpa, how much does a haircut cost?"

"I've been specializing in haircuts and styling for forty years! Our all-inclusive haircut and styling service is only twenty yuan!!"

Great! It's within his budget, and this old man has been cutting hair for forty years, so he must be very professional. He got a great deal.

Xu Fan excitedly said to the old man, "Could you give me a more presentable haircut? I don't have any other requests."

The old man stood up and looked Xu Fan's hairstyle over.

Not only is it heavy, but it also covers half of my face, making me look tired and lacking the energy of a young person!

This damn hairstyle is what's draining his energy and spirit.

He had to save this poor young man!

"I'll be energetic, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" the old man replied confidently.

The old man first took out a piece of cloth and wrapped it around Xu Fan's chest, then ordered him to take off his glasses and lie down to prepare for washing his hair.

Xu Fan obediently did as instructed, taking off her glasses and lying down on the shampoo table with her eyes closed.

After the old man finished preparing, he went over and took a look.

Wow, this little kid is really handsome!

His previous hairstyle was such a waste of his pretty face. He felt a stronger sense of mission and was determined to give Xu Fan a handsome new look!

He worked with lightning speed, cutting here and there with scissors after washing Xu Fan's hair, strands of Xu Fan's black hair falling to the ground.

Half an hour later, Xu Fan's new hairstyle was finished. Xu Fan wasn't wearing his glasses and couldn't see clearly, so he fumbled for his glasses and put them on, then looked in the mirror.

The person in the mirror stared at a neat short haircut with bangs that reached his eyebrows, revealing his facial features, if one ignored the glasses.

Wow! He looks so energetic, he's almost unrecognizable, like a completely different person!

Xu Fan and the old man were both very satisfied with the hairstyle.

"Thank you, here's the money..."

As Xu Fan spoke, he took out one-yuan and five-yuan bills from his inner pocket.

The old man felt a pang of sadness. In this big city of Beijing, all the people who came to his barbershop were old folks; there were hardly any young people. If they weren't in trouble, no one would come here for a haircut.

He stopped Xu Fan from taking out money.

"Young man, I feel we're destined to be together. How about we become friends? I won't charge you!"

Xu Fan was about to appear on a TV show, and there were many places where he would spend money. Of course, he would save every penny he could. Although it was only twenty yuan, it was the first kindness Xu Fan had received since coming to the big city of the capital, and the first time someone was willing to be his friend, even if that person was an old man.

Is this the meaning of his rebirth? After being reborn, he made different choices than in his previous life, and thus obtained different results.

Xu Fan was extremely happy. He felt a soreness in his nose, and his heart was filled with immense joy and surprise. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he didn't want to cry in front of his first friend and give him a bad impression, so he held them back. His eyes turned red, his nose turned red, and his face turned red.

The old man, seeing this, wondered why the child was crying. He quickly comforted him, "Little one, don't cry. Let's add each other on WeChat. Don't let my age fool you, I'm quite trendy!"

Xu Fan was amused and quickly wiped away the tears that hadn't yet fallen, saying gratefully, "Thank you so much. I really don't have much money on me right now, but I'll definitely repay you double in the future!"

"My friend also said these things!"

Xu Fan and the old man quickly became friends. The old man's WeChat profile picture was the five-star red flag of China, and his name was his real name: Gu Jianguo.

Then Xu Fan said goodbye. He had a lot of things to do and needed to prepare well, participate in the show to earn money, and repay Grandpa Gu!

Xu Fan was instantly filled with energy!
