After the third treatment, the symptoms of hair loss were even more serious. His hair was no longer falling out one by one but in clumps. On the way to see Mother Qiu again, Qiu Xing suddenly said, “Shave it off.”

Xie Yang was talking on WeChat with Qin Cheng, who was too excited about the rising sales of ‘Second Life’. He glanced sideways at Qiu Xing, saw Qiu Xing’s hair that was obviously thinner than before and suggested, “Shall I help?” 

Qiu Xing watched Xie Yang and reached out to touch his full hair with a nod. “Hmm.”

It was a summer night. After dinner, the heat dissipated a bit. Qiu Xing and Xie Yang moved Mother Qiu to the terrace and settled down. Xie Yang sat next to Mother Qiu while Qiu Xing sat on a small stool with his back to the two of them.

Xie Yang took out the electric shaver and asked Mother Qiu, “Mom, do you want to try?”

Mother Qiu touched Qiu Xing’s hair in a gentle manner and covered him with a smock. She shook her head. “No, you do it.” 

Xie Yang nodded and raised a hand to hold Qiu Xing’s head. He was about to lower the shaver when the nurse abruptly came over with a mobile phone. “Mr Qiu, your nephew is here. Do you want to let him in?”

Qiu Xing’s calm expression changed and he obviously hesitated for a few seconds before replying, “Let him in.”

The nurse nodded and turned to leave. Xie Yang put down the shaver and approached Qiu Xing. “Are you afraid of shaving in front of your nephew?”

Qiu Xing was quick to deny it. “No.”

Xie Yang didn’t expose Qiu Xing and pinched his ear. “Don’t worry, even if your hair is shaved, you are still the most handsome uncle in the world.”

Qiu Xing glanced back at Xie Yang and squeezed his hand. A few minutes later, Feng Qinglin appeared at the entrance of the terrace. He was taken back when he saw Qiu Xing’s appearance. “Uncle, you are…”

Qiu Xing sullenly said nothing. Xie Yang waved to Feng Qinglin instead of Qiu Xing. “Come and sit down. Your uncle is going to shave his hair. Do you want to help?”

“Shaving his hair?” 

Qiu Xing frowned. “Why are you standing there so stupidly? Go and sit next to your grandmother and talk to her.”

Feng Qinglin’s mind returned and he obediently went over to the other side of Mother Qiu. He glanced at the shaver Xie Yang was holding and questioned hesitantly, “Is this… preparing for treatment?”

A craniotomy required shaving the hair.

“The treatment isn’t that fast. Your uncle simply wants to change his look now.” Xie Yang turned on the shaver again and held it up to Qiu Xing’s head. Before he started it, he suddenly stopped again and looked at Feng Qinglin. “Do you want to try it?” 

Qiu Xing was physically stiff.

Feng Qinglin shook his head. “No, my hands are clumsy. I can’t do this.”

Xie Yang no longer asked. He leaned forward to kiss Qiu Xing’s ear and took advantage of when Qiu Xing was stunned to use the shaver. Qiu Xing’s body was slightly tense before slowly relaxing.
