Divorce: This Is A Trivial Matter

Chapter 16 - Changes

Yang Wei fell asleep snuggled up in her quilt. The next morning, her own straight dark hair startled her in the mirror. It took a little while for her to remember that this was what her hair looked like now. Having washed and groomed herself, she studied the rack of clothes in her closet and picked out a round necked white shirt, topping it with a black v-neck sweater. As for pants... khaki commuter pants would do.

Her pink handbag was hanging behind the door. She switched her phone, keys, and makeup into a navy blue bag from the closet.

Inspecting herself in the mirror, Yang Wei patted her face and hurriedly left the house.

Upon arriving at school, the fat security guard posted by the door was shocked to see her. As Yang Wei passed him by, she glanced at him, her straight black hair rising gently in the light wind. "Good morning."

"Good.. good morning..." Jaw agape, the fat security guard stared after her receding figure before rushing back to the guard room, yanking out his cell phone, and posting a message to his circle of friends. "Miss Yang's new hairstyle is so sharp! I don't know if I like it! "

Inside the office, math teacher Luo was still the first to rush up and greet her. But today, after his first two steps, he stumbled to a stop and stood stock still. "Teacher.... Teacher Yang, did you change your hairstyle?"

"Mmhmm." Yang Wei walked quickly to her spot in the office and put down her bag. Teacher Luo trailed her to her desk, nodding appreciatively the whole way. "Teacher Yang, no matter what sort of hairstyle you have, you pull it off! It looks gorgeous!"

Yang Wei smiled. "Thank you."

Teacher Luo's eyes widened slightly, and then he leaned forward. "Teacher Yang, you seem to have been in a bad mood these past couple days...?"

"Mmm."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Yang Wei looked up with a smile. "Could you not talk to me?"

Teacher Luo : "..."

As he floated dejectedly back to his seat, Teacher Yao slid her chair over to Yang Wei's side in curiousity. "Why did you change your hair all of a sudden? It's pretty nice. Where did you get it done?"

"D&K."

Teacher Yao's eyes widened. "That place is crazy expensive! And I've heard that it's for members only!"

Yang Wei pulled out a teal card from her purse and waved it in her face. "Just let me know when you want to head there."

Eyes lighting up, Teacher Yao snatched the card out of her hand to examine it. "Seriously? Oh my God, it really is a D&K membership card! I hear that their membership requirements are super strict, how on earth did you get it?"

"Just be rich."

Teacher Yao: "......"

Yang Wei slid the card back into her purse as Teacher Dai gave her a call. Yang Wei looked up and smiled at her. "I was just going to hurriedly finish up marking homework."

Mouth moving, Teacher Dai handed her a stack of test papers. "I just need you to help hand these out. It's self-study in the morning, and then a language exam during first and second period."
