131: Tony, the Warriors too
Tony suddenly took half a step back, covered his face with both hands, and let out an earth-shattering lament.
"My God, my Muse, you... what have you done to your hair and face?"
The surrounding travelers looked over one after another, and Lei Jun helplessly held her forehead.
Tony, however, didn't care about the gazes of others at all. His eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at Lei Jun's hair, looking extremely agitated.
"Look at these split ends, and here..." He lifted a strand from the top of Lei Jun's head again. "Because of the lack of deep conditioning for such a long time, how much has the luster dropped?"
"It's like a diamond covered in dust; my heart is bleeding!"
He circled Lei Jun twice, shaking his head and sighing as he went, occasionally poking the top of Lei Jun's head with a finger. He looked like he was inspecting a neglected treasure.
"What did I tell you back then? Silver hair is a gift from God; every single strand should be cared for like a princess!"
"Look at it now; it's lost that transparent luster, like an elf that has lost its soul!"
"And your skin—although the foundation is unnaturally good, there's a clear sense of fatigue from a lack of meticulous care!"
"What a waste of God's gifts!"
"This is simply a waste of God's gifts!"
"Do you know how hard it is to maintain them in their optimal state?"
Lei Jun looked at his heartbroken expression, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated as she explained, "I've been in military training for the past three weeks. Standing at attention and marching every day, sweating profusely—there was simply no time to take care of it. I was so tired at night that I'd fall asleep as soon as I hit the bed; I didn't even want to pick up a comb."
She thought of her hair being soaked in sweat every day during military training and felt a bit unkempt herself.
"It's already good enough that it didn't get all tangled up."
Hearing the words 'military training,' Teacher Tony let out an even more piercing wail in his heart.
Military training?
That was synonymous with wind, sun, sweat, and dust!
It was a ruthless trampling of all exquisite care!
He simply couldn't imagine how Lei Jun's silver hair, woven like moonlight, had weathered such an environment.
Every strand of hair was a unique work of art in his eyes, but now it was covered in dust and had lost some of its vitality.
No!
Absolutely not!
He secretly made up his mind that he wouldn't do anything else this afternoon; he had to pull out all the stops for a deep restoration!
He had to replenish all the essence that had been missed and lost over the past month!
He clenched his fists suddenly, his eyes determined.
"My dear, I must give you a full deep-conditioning treatment this afternoon!"
"I'm going to use my treasured set of Royal Moroccan Essential Oils, combined with a quantum-level hair restoration device. I must restore your silver hair to its previous reflective state!"
"Oh, and a scalp detox too. You sweat a lot during military training, so the scalp must have accumulated a lot of grime."
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he could already see Lei Jun's silver hair regaining its radiance.
Before Lei Jun could respond, she was pulled toward the parking lot by Tony.
Getting into the Mercedes G63, Tony stepped on the gas, and the car drove off smoothly.
Inside the car, Teacher Tony's 'nagging mode' officially activated, and the volume was turned up to the maximum.
All the way from the airport to the Phantom Styling salon, his mouth almost never stopped.
"Miss Lei, you must listen to me!"
"Hair is a woman's second face, especially your silver hair, which is rare in the world; it needs to be cherished as much as life itself!"
"And your skin—the foundation is a gift from heaven, but post-maintenance is crucial!"
"Sun protection, hydration, restoration—not a single step can be skipped!"
"Just think, if they lose their optimal state because of neglect, what a pity that would be!"
"My heart breaks just looking at it!"
...At first, Lei Jun still tried to maintain a polite smile, occasionally responding with 'Mm' or 'Ah.'
But soon, she felt as if she were surrounded by ten thousand mosquitoes, with a constant buzzing in her ears.
She watched Teacher Tony's lips flapping up and down and felt her temples throbbing faintly.
"He talks too much..." she sighed helplessly in her heart, "This is even more of a headache than doing a hundred high-difficulty dance moves in a row."
She subconsciously rubbed the space between her eyebrows, feeling for the first time that this journey was so long.
She turned her gaze out the window, trying to block out some of the noise, but Teacher Tony's worried and urgent words still stubbornly bored into her ears.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lei Ying caught her young lady's expression—one of having lost all will to live yet being forced to feign patience—through the rearview mirror.
She pursed her lips tightly, but her shoulders couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"Hehehe..." Lei Ying was already laughing her head off inside. "This Teacher Tony is really interesting. Looking at his stance, he's even more worried than an old nanny. Miss isn't afraid of anything, yet she's actually driven to this point by a stylist's nagging!"
"Looking at Miss's expression, she probably even feels like jumping out of the car!"
She felt this scene was a once-in-a-century occurrence, full of gap moe.
Lei Jun noticed Lei Ying's stifled laugh and gave her a sharp glare.
Lei Ying immediately pulled back her smile and sat up straight, looking out the window as if nothing had happened.
However, her heart was still laughing wildly: "I can't take it, I can't take it. Although I can't laugh out loud, it's really too funny!"
"The way Miss is being humbled is just too cute!"
"Teacher Tony, a brave man indeed!"
Teacher Tony was completely immersed in his hair care teaching and didn't notice the silent communication between the master and servant at all.
He talked until his mouth was dry, finally stopping temporarily to grab a bottle of water and take several large gulps.
However, before Lei Jun could catch her breath, he put down the water bottle, looking like he was about to start a new round of 'offensive.'
**Lei Jun's Internal Reaction and Thoughts:**
Seeing this, alarm bells immediately went off in Lei Jun's heart: "Again? I'm scared, I'm really scared!"
She knew that if she didn't give a clear promise, this nagging would likely continue the whole way and even last through the hair appointment.
To get some peace and quiet, she immediately put on her most serious and sincere expression, interrupting the words about to come out of Teacher Tony's mouth: "Teacher Tony, I understand!"
"Everything you said is absolutely right and very important!"
"I promise you, I will definitely pay attention in the future and take good care of my hair and face. I will never be as negligent as I was this time!"
Hearing such a solemn promise from Lei Jun, Teacher Tony finally seemed to have received a satisfactory answer. He let out a long sigh of relief, a gratified smile appearing on his face, and finally stopped his non-stop lecturing.
"That's more like it. Miss Lei, I'm so glad you've realized this!"
The world was finally quiet.
Lei Jun silently wiped away sweat in her heart.
