He also didn't refuse, he simply asked back with a question.
Shen Gu Mirai finally spoke up, her voice low as she said,
"I... have never cared about that kind of thing..."
"Is that so? Then, Mirai, did you also grow out your hair for me?"
"...Yes."
Shen Gu Mirai admitted it.
The time she had met Beichuan Si was in the winter.
Back then, she had short hair, a neat and tidy short haircut.
But lately, she had seen many comments online stating that boys tended to prefer long hair—
Although there was no scientific basis, Shen Gu Mirai had decided to try and grow her hair out anyway.
To be honest, the days of growing her hair out had also been quite a struggle for Shen Gu Mirai.
Only girls would understand the hassle of having long hair.
Long hair easily collected dust, and after a shower, it had to be gently combed to smooth it out, otherwise, the hair might split and look a tangled mess.
