Dream
·
Poor Pei Xuwan, he tried his best to get this kiss from me.
His embrace, His entire being, His body which had not yet been completely transformed when He first left, were all now clearly displayed before me.
Her arms kept opening and closing, trying to invite me to lie down inside immediately.
I know that is where I was conceived, and the place separated by a thin membrane is Pei Xuwan's heart.
All it takes is a gentle squeeze from my hand, and He will die instantly.
Facing Pei Xuwan's open arms, I didn't move.
I just held His waist and continued to open my arms and rub against His embrace.
Time is just a concept to me. I never like to use this concept to measure how much time has passed between Pei Xuwan and me.
When I finally woke up from my daze, I grabbed a strand of Pei Xuwan's hair, twisting and tangling it like I did when I was a kid...
Now I am held comfortably in Pei Xuwan's arms, leaning on His soft embrace for comfort.
This should have been an extremely heartwarming scene, but when I uncovered the cruel truth, I saw that my tentacles were wrapping around His heart in circles.
I rubbed Pei Xuwan's neck, acting clingy and coquettish, shouting that I wanted my dear mother to feed me personally.
Pei Xuwan's mind was dizzy and confused. He didn't know what he was saying or what he was doing.
Just obey my orders and try hard to please me by using those insignificant instincts.
"Baby, be good. Eat."
Maintaining this weird and warm posture, I didn't ravage Pei Xuwan anymore, but quietly counted the countdown in my heart.
Sure enough, within a few seconds, the door was suddenly opened with force, and it was Shi Yanli who returned, exhausted.
Shi Yanli, who was supposed to be on a business trip at this critical juncture, turned back.
This should have been unexpected, but I had already expected it.
I smiled and began to look forward to the next scene.
Shi Yanli's business trip was already rushed, so it's understandable that the preparations were not proper.
What's more, my brother and mother were supposed to meet.
I snuggled in Pei Xuwan's arms without moving.
I could feel that after my mother sensed Shi Yanli's full breath, her breathing gradually became rapid. She looked at Shi Yanli with an unfriendly expression.
Shi Yanli's face still showed the fatigue of the turnover work. When he saw me, his eyes lit up and then quickly dimmed.
"Shi Anan, what on earth is going on..." Shi Yanli called my name with a hoarse voice.
In fact, he rarely calls me by my name so seriously. Whenever he calls me by my full name, it's usually when something big happens, like now.
Pei Xuwan lowered her head and looked at me lovingly, and tears soon welled up in her eyes.
"Baby, are you leaving soon?"
I ignored him and turned my attention to Shi Yanli who was standing beside me.
So what about now? What does Shi Yanli feel now?
I began to look forward to Shi Yanli's reaction. But the man just watched my actions without saying a word, and finally accepted it completely in silence.
I thought Shi Yanli would be angry, unwilling, and wailing, but he remained silent in the end. He even kept his gaze fixed on the living room, and then slowly walked towards me.
Poor Shi Yanli knelt down, rubbed my cheek, and directly picked up my tentacles with his hands and stroked them carefully.
"Shi Anan, have you had enough fun? Are you tired?"
His voice was soft and gentle, his usual coaxing tone.
But Shi Yanli just called me by my full name, making it impossible for me to guess what he was thinking.
My tentacles were fully taken care of and Shi Yanli's massage skills were very good.
The fine fangs hidden in each suction cup suddenly popped up after he soothed them, stroking the edge of his fingertips and beginning to suck the blood beads that were pierced.
I looked down at the side of Shi Yanli's face, which was being massaged diligently, and asked softly, "So what on earth did brother come back for?"
“I…I…”
Shi Yanli suddenly lost his mind. He remembered that he had to go home, but what on earth was he going to do there?
·
Why did Yanli come back at that time?
I fixed my gaze entirely on him.
But the latter suddenly couldn't remember it at all.
He pursed his dry lips, hesitated for a long time, and then gave me a simple answer.
"I just remember that I left something very important at home, but I can't remember exactly what it was. Something in my heart was telling me that I had to go home."
He sounded like he was talking in his sleep, his voice was very soft, and even his eyes became vague.
I smiled and waved the tentacles in front of Shi Yanli.
He still looked extremely obedient, not daring to stop what he was doing. The bitter liquid splashed on his lips. When he felt the indigestible liquid entering his mouth, Shi Yanli's eyes regained some clarity.
The poison spread throughout his body, and Shi Yanli's trembling voice gradually returned to normal.
All of this is done by me.
I said, mom and brother will eventually meet.
The tentacle easily broke free from the center of Shi Yanli's palm, and I waved the tentacle and landed it on Pei Xuwan's face.
Touching the pretty face that looked somewhat like mine, I whistled frivolously.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start the game."
"Just like before, without the noisy outside influence, we will always be a family."
"We will always be a loving family."
…
…
I curled myself up completely in Shi Yanli's arms, like a tired bird that finally returned to its nest and found the most stable habitat.
Above me was Pei Xuwan's area, and he stretched out his arms and embraced me completely.
The different embraces of the two people are like small universes independent of the world, completely isolating themselves from all the disturbances and noise of the outside world.
And inside, I was wrapped in absolute safety and warmth, as if I had returned to my most primitive and soft state.
Through the thin fabric of his clothes, I could hear Shi Yanli's heartbeat.
Again and again, like the long pendulum in a church, it beats on my ears continuously with a quite regular rhythm, soothing every restless nerve of mine.
The same thing happened to Pei Xuwan above him. He didn't choose to do the same thing as Pei Xuwan, but leaned down and let his slightly messy hair fall on my cheek.
While feeling a little itchy and numb, I also heard Pei Xuwan humming softly, just like the nursery rhyme he used to hum to coax me to sleep on summer nights many years ago.
Shi Yanli didn't say anything. He just held me tighter and rubbed the top of my head gently with his chin, as if he was repeatedly confirming a treasure that had been lost and found again.
Not until my tense body completely relaxed, like a pool of melted honey in his arms, did Shi Yanli sigh with satisfaction and begin to tell me a story in his sweet voice.
I may or may not have heard this story.
I just yawned, grabbed the slender wrist that Pei Xuwan handed to me, and shook it while listening to Shi Yanli tell the story.
This is a dream story made up just for me.
The story begins in a desolate snowfield.
"The lost traveler, carrying all his luggage, trekked alone in the blizzard..."
Shi Yanli's voice was very soft, pulling my thoughts away from the real world little by little and placing them into the world he had carefully described.
Every cold word seemed to be given life by him. They were no longer cold, but like colorful butterflies, flapping their wings and landing on my heart.
I held Pei Xuwan's wrist in my arms and stared intently at Shi Yanli's lips which kept opening and closing as he told the story.
This may be a sad and desperate story, because the lone traveler has no way to deal with the sudden snowstorm and will only be swallowed by the endless wind and snow.
However, just when I was feeling gloating about this, the story took a quiet turn.
"At the end of the snowstorm, the traveler discovered an ancient greenhouse covered in vines and flowers. He was deeply surprised. He had never expected to encounter such a place full of vibrant life in such a deep world..."
Shi Yanli's voice also became gentle, and he began to describe in detail everything that could be seen in the greenhouse.
The perfect temperature, the light floral scent in the air, and the unique plant quietly blooming in the center...
"But baby, isn't this the greenhouse we have at home? Mommy doesn't think this story is interesting at all..."
The wrist in his arms trembled, and at the same time, Pei Xuwan's words came down to him without deviation.
I looked up and saw that Pei Xuwan had no interest in the story at all. She just held her chin and teased me with her wrist.
Yes, Pei Xuwan’s words are correct.
Before Shi Yanli and I left, the garden and greenhouse at home were far more spectacular than he had described.
But Shi Yanli was not affected by this at all. He continued to tell this unfinished story.
The story had reached its climax, and Shi Yanli was trembling all over.
"The traveler finally succeeded in approaching the plant..." He did not deliberately describe what kind of flower it was, but just paused for a moment, his voice very low.
"The light of that plant is the same color as your eyes. The traveler wants to reach out and confirm. Not to pick it, but simply to confirm whether what he sees is reality or an illusion born of loneliness..."
Shi Yanli's story ended and my consciousness began to become blurred.
The scenes in the story are intertwined with the warmth of reality.
I seemed to see the traveler, and I also felt like I saw myself.
Oh, that's a pretty quick story, I thought to myself.
Then, she lay down sideways and curled up completely in the arms of the two men.
"Good night, An'an."
"Good night, baby, have a sweet dream."
