Elegant Handsome Man
April said as she handed the box to Nathan Ye.
Nathan Ye stared at the box, his eyes practically glowing green!
A token of affection! A token of affection—ahhh!
Nathan Ye took the box, his heart nearly stopping. He carefully stroked the box, trying to guess what was inside.
A coin pouch? A tassel? An embroidered handkerchief? Or maybe... a pair of shoes?
Oh, if it were shoes, that would be perfect! That would mean April had a secret crush on him and even found out his shoe size!
Nathan Ye made a thousand guesses about the box. He took a deep breath—the moment of truth was finally here!
Nathan Ye solemnly opened the box and saw... a lock of hair!
Nathan Ye: ???
Seeing Nathan Ye's odd expression, April hurriedly grabbed the wig patch and explained, "Minister Ye, please don't misunderstand! I'm not disgusted by you, nor am I here to mock you. This—this is a wig patch I made for you. If you wear it, it can cover your... your bald spot?"
Nathan Ye stared at April, petrified. The colorful future he’d imagined suddenly turned to gray.
His dreams of daughters, sons, and grandchildren—a blissful retirement—shattered in an instant!
The world grew dim and bleak. All Nathan Ye could hear was April’s voice echoing in his mind: "Baldy!"
Baldy...
Baldy...
Baldy...
"Minister Ye, are you angry? I really meant well, I promise! I had no other intentions!" April saw Nathan Ye’s dark expression and was so anxious she was about to cry.
It took Nathan Ye a long moment to recover from the shock, his heart heavy with sorrow.
He’d thought April was about to confess to him, giving him a token of affection.
But who could have guessed...
Heavens! Alas!
Nathan Ye forced himself to smile. "Miss April, I’m not angry, nor did I misunderstand you. I know you weren’t trying to make fun of me. But this... this wig patch... what exactly is it?"
April, eager to prove herself, quickly pulled Nathan Ye to sit down and placed a mirror in front of him. "Minister Ye, let me show you! It’s very simple!"
April swiftly took apart Nathan Ye’s hair bun.
It was the first time Nathan Ye had ever let a woman touch his hair, and with April’s hands in his hair, his bald spot was completely exposed.
Nathan Ye felt awkward and uncomfortable, but seeing April’s serious expression, he couldn’t bring himself to stop her. So he sat there, stiff and uneasy, letting April fuss with his hair.
April brought her own comb and deftly tidied Nathan Ye’s hair. Then she clipped the wig patch into place and explained as she worked: "Minister Ye, see? You just clip the wig patch onto your real hair, then blend it together and twist it into a bun... Look, now the wig patch looks just like real hair and covers your scalp perfectly."
When April finished her explanation, she had already finished tidying his hair.
Nathan Ye looked in the mirror—his bald spot was gone!
With the wig patch in place, it looked completely natural. He wasn’t bald anymore!
Nathan Ye’s eyes filled with tears. He’d been losing his hair since he was fifteen and had almost forgotten what a full head of hair looked like.
Now, seeing himself in the mirror with hair, he looked years younger and much more spirited.
His features were handsome—straight nose, thick brows, and large eyes. Now that his baldness was gone, he looked dignified and handsome again!
