Obviously, when he was emotionally excited, Pei Xuwan started talking nonsense again.

I didn't have time to respond to my mother as I was piecing together incoherent sentences.

Pei Xuwan lowered his head and began to rub against me affectionately again. Some of his actions occasionally made me think of some kind of mother animal, simply and stubbornly licking the fur of her cub, trying to fill it with her scent.

I found that Pei Xuwan had turned back into a male body, but he had a beautiful and graceful female voice again.

I looked at him with his eyes narrowed in enjoyment, and simply picked up the unfinished oatmeal porridge beside him and poured it all over his face.

I saw a strange scene, and everything was playing out in slow motion before my eyes.

Pei Xuwan's handsome face, the moment it came into contact with the warm porridge, began to tumble and pull outward. Its bizarre shape folded at strange angles, its two outward-opening cheeks constantly torn apart, only to instantly return to their original shape.

His expression was changeable, his features remained unchanged, and there was a faint smile in his eyes, as if the strange scene that had just happened had nothing to do with him.

The bowl of cereal was empty, and all that had been poured on His cheeks was gone.

But Pei Xuwan stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked her lips, revealing a small piece of oatmeal on her shiny lips.

He tilted his head and whispered to me, "Baby, Mommy is so happy right now. You haven't treated Mommy like this in ages. Hmm... The porridge with the taste of your baby is delicious, Mommy loves it. Because it's a special gift from your baby for me, Mommy will store it in the flowers."

He gently stroked his flat belly and continued to speak, "Actually, I wanted to lick all these bowls clean while the baby was away. But now that the baby has given them to me, I'll just obey."

He spoke in a sticky voice, and a slender forked snake tongue emerged from the deep crevice of his cracked cheek. The snake tongue continued to spread forward, and finally licked away the last bit of oatmeal porridge that splashed on his cheek.

Pei Xuwan cracked half of his face and gave me a soft and weak smile.

After finishing the meal, I didn’t even know what the food tasted like.

Because my brother had already gone to work, my mother was with me in the morning.

After cleaning everything in the house, we returned to the past, snuggling together on the sofa and daydreaming.

I deliberately didn't turn on the TV, even the power was off. But the TV was still playing a blurry picture, the host's face was a blur, and they were babbling with their mouths open, I couldn't tell what they were saying.

I knew at first glance that it was a prank by my mother, but the "culprit" was still concentrating on taking care of my hair.

Pei Xuwan is very good at braiding hair, and her hair is perfectly groomed.

I saw my hair being braided into thin braids in His hands, and His faint whispers passed by my ears.

"Baby, Mom has been trapped in the old house all these years because of the spell that guy cast. Every day is miserable. He even wanted to lock me in the mirror. Haha, he really overestimated his own abilities. But he also forgot that the mirror would allow me to see you more clearly. Everything that happened to you, baby, I have seen all these years."

"Mom did the same and never missed any of your ceremonies."

He tied the last bit of my hairstyle with an exquisite braid rope and adorned the end with a tiny bow.

Finally, Pei Xuwan clapped her hands in appreciation and immediately untied her hair.

Her hair cascaded down like a waterfall. As she combed through the strands, she began to talk to me as if she were chatting: "Every day, my whole body is torn apart, and then reassembled again and again. It's really painful, but fortunately, I have my baby by my side, so I don't feel lonely. Because, because my baby's hair is entangled in my heart..."

My mother murmured, and I didn't answer. I just saw drops of blood flowing down from the gaps in the TV.

He combed his hair which was tangled like thin snakes, and wanted to talk about the past and discuss his life in recent years.

It is impossible to capture any key words in the incoherent words, which are constantly polished from Pei Xuwan's personal perspective.

I was a little tired of listening, so I picked up the phone beside me.

The screen of my phone kept lighting up and then gradually dimming. I knew it was my brother Shi Yanli who was constantly sending me messages.

The blood flowed to the soles of my feet, and the sticky eyeballs fell on my toes and jumped onto my ankles.

A wet and sticky sound fell into my ears, but I still did not respond to Pei Xuwan's call. Instead, I lowered my head and chatted with Shi Yanli.

Considering the distance he had traveled, he should have arrived at the company by now and started dealing with work matters.

Shi Yanli was very businesslike at work, but the messages he sent were caring and affectionate.

He specifically told me not to turn on the camera today because it had been damaged by an unknown wave.

·

My finger stayed on this message. Xiaoxiao ignored her brother and just sent him an "OK" emoticon, then turned on the camera.

Ah, my brother is not in the office after all. Where on earth is he hiding?

The expected result left me uninterested.

Fortunately, among the large amount of text chat records, there are also a few selfies of Shi Yanli.

Under the straight suit, his body was covered with scars.

I was quite satisfied with this development.

While replying to Shi Yanli, I stared at the blurry camera.

He was indeed right.

The camera would occasionally show a blurry and stagnant image due to inexplicable fluctuations, basically flashing once every few minutes.

I moved my face closer to the screen. Even though Yanli wasn't even in the camera, I could still see the clue.

Outsiders often say that my brother is young and promising, with a smart mind, but in front of me, he still reveals these tiny details.

What appears in the camera is not the real picture at all, right?

It's just that the recorded video was inserted into the camera, otherwise it would be impossible for it to remain motionless.

Time passed quickly in the camera, but the petals of the flower placed on Shi Yanli's desk did not move at all.

I sneered and bit my fingers, unable to guess what Shi Yanli was going to do.

When I sent the message again, Shi Yanli didn't reply.

Holding the dim screen of my phone, the message stopped at the last one I sent: "Where are you?"

I didn't say anything and didn't want to think about my current situation.

Pei Xuwan is always kind-hearted.

He had already noticed my anxiety and immediately came over and said anxiously, "Hey, baby, don't bite your hands. We don't eat our hands, we don't eat our hands. What's wrong? Do you want to talk to mommy?"

She really acted like a mother who loved her children very much. I was too lazy to pay attention to Pei Xuwan anymore, so I simply brought out the real cameras and eavesdropping devices.

Sure enough, the real camera captured something different. But the footage was either dark or blurry, making it impossible for me to see clearly.

When I put the earphones into my ears, the sound I heard from the eavesdropping device was also a continuous crackling sound of electricity.

I frowned. The sound of electricity was indeed unfamiliar, but it was obviously wrong.

It's like, it's right next to my ear...

The clues kept connecting in my mind, and my guesses began to complete the entire map bit by bit. I caught this clue, but still couldn't confirm it.

Pei Xuwan beside me was still holding my hand, his expression anxious and caring.

I waved away the tentacles wrapped around my wrist, immediately stood up, and opened the door of Pei Xuwan's house.

It’s so strange, so strange, why can I open the door of His house without any effort, even without using any key.

I didn't have time to think too much. The moment the door opened, everything became clear.

The only areas left in the house are the living room and the children's room.

The area is large and there is ample space, so I can clearly see Shi Yanli is now in the center of the living room.

He is here, but he can't move at all.

A bright red rope ran across his body, hanging in the middle of the living room in my favorite position.

There was no light in the living room and it was dim.

At that time, Yanli was in the eye of the spring and became a faint light.

Blood dripped from his body, and the crystal clear goblet below was filled with his blood, which was so full that it was about to overflow.

Is my brother in pain? I wondered for no reason.

It was obvious that he was in pain.

But he was happy to do it, he was willing to do it.

I walked forward, stepped on Shi Yanli's sticky blood, and gently raised my hand to hold up his pale face.

Because of my gentle touch, he opened his heavy eyes. The eyelids kept trembling like the wings of a dying butterfly.

Even though he was weak, Shi Yanli still responded obediently to everything I said.

He pressed his cheek completely against my palm, and that was the first time I realized that my brother's cheek was so cold.

Because of my arrival, his blood flowed faster.

The smell in the air became increasingly strange. Blood dripped onto the goblet, and the sound of splashing raindrops played a melody in my ears.

This voice was very familiar to me. I looked closely at the liquid in the cup and patted Shi Yanli's cheek.

My brother's blood is not pure red, but extremely thick black.

The texture doesn't look like blood, but some other substance.

I leaned over and picked up the goblet.

The violent shaking failed to spill the liquid inside. My hand was completely inserted into the thick cup, and the strange, lumpy touch completely surrounded my wrist.

There was no way this was blood.

I lowered my head and stared at the strange scene in front of me.

I also caught a glimpse of it. As I moved, Shi Yanli's forearm twitched uncomfortably.
