Wang Tianwei had the ends of her hair trimmed and got another hair treatment. During the process, the manicurist, Linda, also helped her remove her dark, gothic nail polish.
By the time everything was finally finished, an hour had passed.
Wang Tianwei had dozed off in the lounge chair for an hour, waking up feeling fully refreshed.
She sent a message to her little brother saying she was done, waited for him to come down, and the two headed out together.
The original owner of the body used to deposit a sum of money here every year, so she didn't have to pay this time.
Thinking that she wouldn't need to dye her hair much in the future, and that she was about to leave for Planet Shuomo, she said,
"I have prepaid credit here. If you ever want to get a haircut in the future, you can come here and give them my name."
Joe was smiling as he saw the two customers out. Hearing this, he glanced at the tall and sturdy Wang Kaiyu, and his eyes instantly lit up!
"This gentleman's aura is absolutely perfect for a retro Mohawk! Please make sure to come to me and try it out next time!"
Wang Kaiyu was speechless.
Wang Tianwei turned her head in shock.
"Are you serious!?"
"Of course! With my twenty-plus years of professional experience, this young man would look absolutely stunning with that hairstyle! If we could dye it golden blonde..."
Good heavens! The original owner's unconventional aesthetic definitely had everything to do with you!
Wang Kaiyu fearfully grabbed Wang Tianwei's arm and dragged her outside.
"Let's go, hurry!"
It wasn't until he saw his own hovercar that he started rambling and opened up his chatterbox.
"What kind of hairstylist did you find!? No wonder you used to look like that... Those underworld-looking things on your nails were done here too, right!? You are not allowed to come here again! ...Prepaid credit? That's a scam! I'm going to file a complaint against them!"
Wang Tianwei recalled the original owner's proactive requests in the past, and for a moment, it was hard to say who was actually to blame...
"I probably won't have much of a chance to come here in the future anyway... If you want to get a haircut, just state your requests clearly. Joe will still respect your ideas."
Wang Kaiyu was already beyond listening.
Why hadn't he come with her before? If he had found out earlier, couldn't they have changed to a different salon? No, this woman would never have listened to him anyway!
Wang Tianwei walked straight to the cockpit door.
"I'll drive us back."
Wang Kaiyu didn't think much of it and got into the passenger seat himself.
"...Turn left."
"I am turning left!"
Wang Tianwei answered with a serious expression.
Wang Kaiyu looked at the blinking right turn indicator and closed his eyes.
"Beautiful... Feinting to the east and attacking in the west, huh!?"
How could anyone's mental power be this chaotic!?
By the time the hovercar wobbled its way back home, Wang Kaiyu was completely numb.
She managed to turn a twenty-minute drive into a forty-minute one, all while constantly muttering that they were going too fast!?
She insisted on waiting at intersections where it was clearly safe to pass! Who knows what on earth she was waiting for!?
She had to hit the brakes every few hundred meters!
He had never even gotten dizzy in a mecha, yet he actually felt a trace of nausea under her driving skills, which felt like a lagging, old-fashioned teleporter...
Wang Tianwei also hopped out of the cockpit.
She was extremely satisfied with herself! Being able to drive a hovercar back safely and steadily on her first try using mental power simply made her a genius!
"...Just use the autopilot from now on."
Wang Tianwei treated her little brother's complaining as if she hadn't heard a word.
If they were driving an old-school automobile, he probably wouldn't even pass the basic driving test!
Compared to the purely manual operation of traditional vehicles, mental power control was still quite simple; she just wasn't very skilled at it yet.
Not having a steering wheel in front of her always made her feel like something was missing... That was what caused her mental power to drift around. She just needed a few more practice runs!
Wang Yi and Cheng Yin had already gone to the company. Upon returning home, Wang Tianwei familiarly opened the refrigerator.
Her parents had clearly discovered her new hobby — eating.
The two of them didn't ask anything; they just blindly stuffed the fridge full of various kinds of fruits, vegetables, as well as some highly nutritious star-beast meat and the sweets that children loved to eat.
It went without saying who these things were prepared for...
Actually, getting to live a second life wasn't a bad thing at all.
Wang Tianwei sniffled, picked out a pudding, and went upstairs.
There was less than a week left before she had to report to Planet Shuomo.
Following the tips on the school forum, she had bought some useful items online in advance.
She was about to participate in the freshman training, so naturally, her physical fitness couldn't be neglected. The daily training volume that followed was so massive that it even shocked Wang Yi and Cheng Yin when they saw it.
But the moment they thought about how the Mecha Master major their daughter had chosen meant she would eventually have to go to the battlefield... no matter how much their hearts ached, they had to endure it!
Wang Tianwei simply felt that having an extra bit of certainty in a brand-new world was a good thing. She adopted the training volume recommended online, and this body surprised her with every training session!
This harmony lasted until the day before she was set to leave for registration.
"I can go by myself. You really don't need to accompany me anymore!"
Going to a military academy and still having parents drop you off?
Wang Tianwei didn't know what it was like for others, but being used to independence, she still found it somewhat embarrassing.
The day the electronic acceptance letter from Qilin Military Academy was sent to her optical computer, she had already checked the route.
She would first take a large civilian starship to Planet Shuomo, and then the school's hovercars would come to pick up the freshmen.
As for luggage, with spatial buttons, there was no need to carry anything by hand. She only needed to go through security in advance.
But her parents were worried and said at least one person had to accompany her to register...
"My school is starting too, so how come no one wants to drop me off?"
Wang Kaiyu's tone was so sour it could pickle cabbage. Wang Yi looked over in disgust.
"Do you not know the way to the First Military Academy? Aren't your things already at the school? You've been training with the S-Class for so long, and you can even run back in the pitch dark in the middle of the night. Do you really need us to drop you off?"
Powerless to retort, Wang Kaiyu gave a hmph and went back to his room.
Fine! It seems people going to school on Planet Tianshu just don't deserve it! He had nothing to say to these two daughter-slaves!
Unable to refuse any further, Wang Tianwei could only tell her parents her starship schedule.
Looking at the ticket information his daughter sent over, Wang Yi silently upgraded her to SVIP.
His child had grown up; she actually didn't ask to use the family's starship to take her! And she even bought a regular ticket!?
Even if she wanted to experience normal life, she didn't have to be this shabby!
Thinking about how Tianwei would be going to school on Planet Shuomo, a place where half the surface was covered in yellow sand, made his heart ache.
Although they could video call at any time, their child had never been away from them for this long. What if she got into trouble again...
Ahem, no! Tianwei had been much better behaved lately!
She didn't even put on her favorite makeup anymore... It was clear that her decision to leave Planet Tianshu must have been the result of a severe blow...
As the saying goes, nothing in the world is difficult as long as you are willing to give up!
The fact that their daughter was able to give up on that Fu Xingyuan, face her future properly, and no longer obsess over being a combatant was the best thing to happen to their family this year!
At a time like this, as parents, they definitely needed to give her plenty of love and care!
Just like his wife said, they absolutely couldn't let their daughter feel like she was all alone!
And that brat Kaiyu still wanted to fight for favor at a crucial moment like this!? He really needed a beating!
