Homecoming
·
Pei Xuwan quickly finished her shower and came out with her hair wet.
I didn't choose to continue waiting on the sofa, but stood quietly in the dark corridor.
My always keen intuition tells me that if I leave Pei Xuwan, she will appear in an even more terrifying form.
The rich fragrance began to fill the entire corridor again. I looked at the only light coming from the bathroom and couldn't help but look up at Pei Xuwan.
I know it's a bit rude to do this, but I can't help but focus all my attention on this beautiful woman.
She was wearing only a thin nightgown.
The skirt that I had discarded long ago looked completely ill-fitting on her, had a childish style, and was adorned with a lace bow on the chest.
This does not match Pei Xuwan's overall temperament, but it is very consistent with her current appearance.
Because the bath towel used for wrapping was wrapped in her hair, although her whole body was still a little damp, her current state was completely different from what she was seen at the door before.
My gaze gradually shifted from her slightly pale cheek to her hand, which was clutching the edge of her skirt. Pei Xuwan must have been a little nervous, her whole body trembling slightly. I noticed that the color of her round nails had turned black again.
I always can't remember these little details and can't tell whether she has the habit of wearing nail polish.
The jet-black nail polish also suits her very well. I glanced at it and didn't ask any more questions.
Pei Xuwan smiled at me apologetically, then followed my hand's guidance and sat down lightly on the edge of the sofa.
The unique fragrance that belonged to her in the corridor finally diluted a little, giving me a chance to catch my breath.
As she walked, she carefully wiped her wet hair with her hands. The falling water droplets would splash around, making the light-colored walls and tabletops smudge into ink-like circles.
Pei Xuwan is tall, and as she wipes, I occasionally notice her smooth shoulders or the slender, beautifully pointed collarbone...
Feeling my gaze, Pei Xuwan turned around, a little embarrassed and smiled apologetically: "I'm so sorry to bother you so late. I will buy you new clothes when the time comes. My work is also somewhat related to this aspect. If you have time next time, we can make an appointment to go shopping together."
She spoke gently, occasionally letting out a few pleasant laughs. Pei Xuwan finally took off the towel that was wrapped around her long hair, and her hair spread out and fell on her shoulders.
The back part will be soaked in dark color by the wet hair. Pei Xuwan did not use a hair dryer, and the slightly curly hair spread out, and the fragrance was diffused.
"The hair dryer was in the bathroom, on the sink as I recall."
I brought it up out of the blue.
Pei Xuwan's hand paused, and soon her stiff expression returned to normal.
She exhaled, looked at me seriously again, and opened her mouth to ask an irrelevant question.
"Has the rain stopped outside?"
How do I know if the rain outside has stopped?
I didn't say anything, just muttered to myself.
Looking at Pei Xuwan's patient eyes, I leaned on the edge of the sofa, thought for a while and said, "I can't hear the sound of rain now, it should have stopped."
I don't care about these things and just answer them casually.
Pei Xuwan next to him hummed softly, then stood up and opened the curtains.
Her wet hair was still hanging neatly, and with every step she took, wet dewdrops filled with water would drip down her graceful neck and onto the floor, creating a thin layer of mist.
Her nails were trimmed into a round shape and painted with inappropriate nail polish, but this did not cause any trouble to Pei Xuwan, it only gave me a strong visual conflict.
Pei Xuwan's slender knuckles pulled the curtains a little, but the moment she pulled them open, she turned back to look at me, narrowing her eyes with a hint of confusion: "Does this bother you?"
I shook my head and answered her question simply: "It's night time now, so it doesn't matter."
Because it didn't matter, the thick darkness of the night seeped in through the gaps in the curtains.
I watched Pei Xuwan open the curtains.
Her fingers painted with black nail polish would always tap on the window unconsciously. The sound was not loud but sounded crisp in the quiet and lonely night.
This tends to make me fantasize and reminds me of a certain snake I saw on a TV show not long ago.
Pei Xuwan's fingers moving on the window screen were like a snake twisting aimlessly.
Twisted and black, it appears shiny and slippery in the night.
She opened all the curtains and smiled contentedly.
A hint of red finally appeared in her light-colored lips, which made her whole face look extremely beautiful.
She opened her lips slightly and turned back to look at me.
I always thought that Pei Xuwan was looking at me all the time, but even if she was staring at me, I still couldn't catch any trace of her eyes in her beautiful eyes.
"My hair is still wet, I need to blow dry it..."
·
I began to panic. I put my face close to the window again and turned into a narrow and thin stamp. I saw raindrops hitting the window. My sight was level with the window frame, and I found one bloody handprint after another of different sizes.
The number of bloody handprints was still increasing, so I squinted my eyes and took a closer look.
All of these handprints contained a tiny eyeball, and they all stared at me with their pale eyes open.
The eyelids bit the window, cracking it. The round part of the eyeball hit the glass again and again, "Dong Dong Dong—" "Dong Dong Dong—" The bloody handprint roared and wailed, slapping the last obstacle.
My eyes were still fixed on the window here, and I licked my lips as if nothing had happened.
Pei Xuwan brought over the hair dryer at this time.
She didn't notice anything unusual outside the window. After connecting the power, she continued to talk to herself, "I haven't been sleeping well recently, so I've lost a lot of hair."
"Look..."
She carefully combed her hair and spread her palms towards me. A few long strands of hair lay quietly in the center of her fair skin.
Pei Xuwan smiled indifferently. I didn't know when she came close to me again, raised her hand and touched the top of my head. A sweet fragrance filled my nose, and I heard her pleasant voice.
"I envy your hair, it smells so good."
"Can you blow dry my hair for me? It still feels like it's not dry yet."
Pei Xuwan and I leaned against each other on the soft sofa, and I was actually blowing her hair.
In fact, her hair was not as bad as she said.
I ran my fingers through her hair, leaving my hands filled with its delicate fragrance. Her hair was soft and smooth, and I could tell it was in excellent condition from regular care.
Pei Xuwan was very quiet.
The only sounds in the entire living room were the crackling clapping of heavy rain and the occasional faint roar of the hair dryer.
I deliberately placed Pei Xuwan's hair around my fingers and curled it, so that after using a hair dryer to style it, I would be left with long, smooth curls.
I remember Pei Xuwan's hair was slightly curly.
Her skin is really white.
To keep her blow-dried hair tidy, she even used her arm to lift another section of her already-dried hair. Her arm was raised high, the lines flowing gracefully. I followed her gaze, slowly moving downward, to her nightgown, which was about to fall.
The nightgown that was supposed to belong to me slipped off Pei Xuwan's shoulders...
It slid down quickly and I could see most of her skin.
Pei Xuwan probably realized this as well. She was about to turn around and pull the straps of her nightgown back to their original position, but I lowered my head and kissed her.
This was a kiss that came unexpectedly.
Or rather, what I kissed was not Pei Xuwan's lips, but the eyeball that came out of her mouth.
She had waited too long for this moment.
The eyeballs that had been sucked until they were burning hot blinked rapidly, and the soft eyelids clamped the tip of my tongue.
It was painless, just slightly numb, and a cool touch spread throughout the body.
My voice began to become muffled, and the kiss increased in strength, pushing my fingers completely into Pei Xuwan's hair. I sneered, "Mom, how long are you going to continue pretending? Have you had enough now?"
Pei Xuwan laughed dumbly. He didn't turn off the muffled hair dryer, but just murmured: "I blew my baby's hair so many times when he was young, why doesn't he want to blow his hair now? Even a little bit is fine..."
I took a few steps back and smiled indifferently, but still patiently accompanied her to continue playing this game with no ending.
"I am willing, but why don't you look at yourself?"
"Hmm? Is Mom hiding something?"
My fingers were still entangled with a strand of Pei Xuwan's hair. The whole strand seemed to have a fresh vitality, wrapping around my skin and sucking it continuously.
I lowered my eyes and watched secretly, then used all my strength to immediately tear off the elastic thing.
The hair is broken and shattered.
Indeed, because Pei Xuwan's hair is not "hair", it is particularly easy to break.
After being torn, the hair made a continuous noisy sound, and a sticky substance similar to blood overflowed from the broken section of the hair root.
But when the substance completely dripped out, what came out was not the common smell of blood but a strange fragrance.
That's the strange fragrance I've smelled in the corridor...
My tentacles immediately popped out and completely wrapped around Pei Xuwan.
At this airtight distance, I could see his swollen belly fully expanded, and a bluish-white, misty hue filled his eyes. Looking at Pei Xuwan's increasingly bewildered expression, I suddenly laughed out loud.
"So Mom still can't learn to be patient?"
"Forbearance is something only humans should learn, and I don't need it..."
Pei Xuwan obediently let my tentacles encircle his body, and just opened his arms towards me, his tone as gentle and affectionate as ever.
"Welcome home, baby."
