Sleep
·
"Dear, there are still many, these are all for the baby, everything is yours. Well... drink a little more, dear boy, dear baby, mommy really misses you so much..."
Pei Xuwan spoke slowly. Something warm instantly enveloped my tentacles. It was sticky and wet, much like aloe vera secretions.
I felt a little nauseous and withdrew my hand.
Pei Xuwan was clearly losing control of her emotions; even her cheeks were flushed with an abnormal blush. The blossoms on her face were even darker in color.
Her breathing was rapid, and no matter what I said, she would only stretch out her overly thin arms and try to embrace me completely.
I wanted to refuse, but my tentacles made the choice faster than my actions.
I was stuffed into Pei Xuwan's open arms. Her cold arms seemed to be filled with something strange, bulging and looking a little strange.
I felt a little confused, but then Pei Xuwan's voice came down from above my head:
"Baby, are you caring about me? Mommy is so touched and happy. I didn't expect that after doing this, I would be taken care of by you. Don't worry, these, these are just... Ugh!"
I still couldn't make out anything from her nonsense, but Pei Xuwan hadn't finished her words yet. The swollen seed in her arms quietly cracked open, and a number of plump, shiny fruits rushed out.
Then, after a brief burst of white steam, a dense, soft substance similar to spider web threads gushed out.
I know this should belong to Pei Xuwan, and it is his real secret.
However, even Pei Xuwan himself was frightened by this sudden physical condition.
The silk threads were still curling and gushing out, a bit like the wire worms dancing by the river.
After continuously spitting out tangled balls of white silk, I had no choice but to lower my head and try to sort out the white silk threads on the ground that could not be torn apart and were still extending.
"What exactly are these? Pei Xuwan, you'd better explain them to me."
"Woo—baby, don't you know these things best? Have you forgotten? When you were little, you often pestered me to play with these. You can also play cat's tuck with these, and you can also use them as a slide..."
…
I was speechless.
In fact, I know that there is a part of Pei Xuwan's body that is used to store warmth and nutrients. In order to fully transform these useful substances, he will turn them into a substance similar to spider silk that is easy to handle.
This type of silk thread is usually very tough, easy to chew and digest, and also has a hint of sweetness.
Of course, in addition to its very high nutritional value, it also has many functions.
I know Pei Xuwan likes to use these to knit sweaters for me.
Being able to appreciate such a magnificent scene also meant that Pei Xuwan's emotions reached their peak, and he happily revealed his joy.
I sighed, and under His loving gaze, I finally managed to peel off the thickest and longest thread from these clumps.
After I gently wrapped the slightly curved silk thread around Pei Xuwan's fingers, I saw a slightly puzzled expression on his face.
"I just want to try it out. But no matter what, Mommy will definitely agree to me, right?"
I asked Pei Xuwan in return, but quickly pressed my palm on the back of His hand.
Flower branches poked out from all directions, and the silk thread finally came to an end and stopped vomiting.
The silk thread wrapped around His fingertips was tied tightly into a knot by me.
I stared at his whitened knuckles, which had been bruised by the restraints, and flicked them indifferently.
"In this case, Pei Xuwan, will you feel pain or joy?" I put my head close to His cheek and asked naively.
Pei Xuwan, who was trying hard to break free, didn't care about these things at all. His condition was extremely miserable. His posture reminded me of a moth stuck in a spider web.
No matter how hard you struggle, the spider web will only become tighter and tighter.
The silk thread sank deeper and deeper, completely embedded in my skin. Pei Xuwan muttered something incoherently, and her long hair, like the annoying flower branch, rubbed against my cheek.
I have grown up, I have become an adult, and I can already stand on my own feet.
I'm past the age where I need to hold my mother's hand.
What's more, Pei Xuwan is not my "mother".
I put my hand on the back of her hand, put my five fingers together, and completely covered her hand. I squeezed my fingertips into every gap between her fingers where flowers bloomed, and gently patted her fingers.
Pei Xuwan's hands are actually bigger than mine. I smell the delicate scent of hand cream, and I imagine my fingertips will also be stained with the same scent.
But I didn't have the heart to think about these things. Instead, I felt that with every slap, Pei Xuwan's fingertips trembled slightly.
His fair skin turned crimson, and his fluttering branches moved to my wrists.
I didn't have time to recognize what other kinds of flowers had bloomed in his body. Before they were ripe, I thought of my childhood when I liked to lie in a cradle woven with silk threads, with my eyes open, listening to Pei Xuwan tell some equally unreasonable little stories.
I feel a little tired.
An unreasonable drowsiness and fatigue swept over me. I yawned and leaned lightly into Pei Xuwan's open arms, unconsciously grasping his blooming flowers.
Fortunately, His embrace still contains the breath that makes me feel safe and attached.
The warm pool water created ripples. I rubbed Pei Xuwan and felt like I was back to the original gentle and moist place, lying back in the cradle of my childhood.
I let out a long sigh, and felt Pei Xuwan readily push her wet long hair back behind her and gently pat my back.
"Good boy, good boy, baby, baby, my baby. Go to sleep, go to sleep quickly. Mommy is here. Mommy is not going anywhere. I hope you will have me in your dreams."
I turned around with my back to Pei Xuwan and thought to myself, this is such a vicious curse.
After Pei Xuwan gave me a bath, he put me back on the soft bed.
I remember the fences on both sides were very high and the bed area was very large.
However, my memory of this part is often vague, and I can only draw a final rough picture through such sporadic descriptions.
Pei Xuwan changed into a warm home outfit. His fragrant long hair, which had already been blown dry, was not tied up, but hung down lazily.
He coaxed me with his fingers and pulled out a thin book from the candy house-style bookshelf.
"Baby, what bedtime story do you want to hear today?"
"Want..." My voice was slurred.
"Mom knows."
Pei Xuwan leaned over and lightly tapped the tip of my nose, then neatly undid his home clothes.
The warm embrace is close to me again, and I will bury my cheek in it.
I said I returned to my hometown because Pei Xuwan had the smell of home.
·
Pei Xuwan's cold fingertips touched the bridge of my nose, and I have to admit that it was an extremely bone-chilling cold.
Fortunately, He did not stay too long, but just caressed me lovingly for a moment and then prepared to continue His storytelling.
I couldn't hear clearly what Pei Xuwan was saying.
The images in the storybook he casually pulled out were also blurry. As he turned the pages, I could only see the scale-like substance stuck between the pages falling out, which reminded me of the things that fall when a butterfly flutters its wings.
I blinked and could only vaguely see Pei Xuwan's lips opening and closing.
…
…
“Wake up, wake up!”
My shoulders were gently shaken, and the pain, similar to a hangover, was completely awakened.
Before I could react, I was completely surrounded by the faint fragrance.
When I opened my eyes, I could only feel dizzy, and the constant feeling of dizziness in my brain made my vision blurry.
I stared at the pale light on the ceiling for no reason, and it took me a while to adjust.
I found myself resting my head on Pei Xuwan's shoulder, my whole body lying on the sofa in her house.
Looking at how deep the ground next to me had sunk, I knew I had been here for a very long time.
All the curtains in the living room were drawn, and in the dim light, only the TV screen was flashing with colorful lights. The sound was not turned on, and the whole house seemed unusually quiet.
Only Pei Xuwan was speaking.
Only Pei Xuwan was talking, but I couldn't hear her voice.
Seeing me slowly waking up, she was obviously relieved.
"I know the afternoon sun always makes people sleepy. I was just about to tell you to get some snacks before leaving, but when I turned around, I saw you were already asleep on the sofa. I was worried you'd catch a cold, so I covered you with a blanket. You were sleeping so soundly, I didn't have the heart to wake you up. It seemed you had a sweet dream..."
Pei Xuwan continued to talk to herself, and I could feel her slender shoulders trembling slightly as she spoke. I looked up at her hair, which was obviously messed up by my pillow, and smiled a little embarrassedly.
Pei Xuwan immediately realized this. She rubbed her sore and numb shoulders and gave him a caring and gentle smile. "It's okay. Seeing you were sleeping so soundly, I didn't want to disturb you, so I took a short nap. It seems that you haven't been sleeping well recently. By the way, I just made some lavender sleeping tea. Do you want to try it?"
After saying that, she stood up lightly and went into the bedroom in the corridor.
I opened my mouth and found that my voice was a little hoarse.
My vision had not yet fully recovered, and I only remembered that I had a very long dream. I never expected that I would wake up on the sofa in Pei Xuwan's house.
I habitually wanted to check the time, but was shocked to find that there was no such thing as a wall clock in Pei Xuwan's house.
The programs on TV were so colorful and there was no way they could show the time, so I had to give up.
Pei Xuwan came out of the bedroom. Actually, I haven’t taken a good look at her bedroom yet.
She half-knelt in front of me and was about to open the drawer under the TV.
Only then did I notice that she had changed into a comfortable cotton and linen long skirt. The light color set off her extremely fair skin. Even the way a woman squatted down was so graceful.
In a short time, her long hair was completely tied up and hung loosely on her shoulders. However, because I rested my head on it for too long, part of her hair was still a little messy.
Her beautiful hair covered her slender, soft neck, and I could only see a hint of bright red hidden under the layers of hair.
It was extremely annoying and made my eyes twitch.
I didn't plan to ask because Pei Xuwan in front of me had already found the tea bag.
She turned around, handed it to me, and then specifically reminded me, "Remember to drink it before going to bed at night, because it has a sleeping effect. I added some honey and rock sugar to it, so the taste shouldn't be too strange."
I took the bulging tea bag, stared at her beautifully trimmed nails, and suddenly asked, "Sister, do you paint your nails?"
"Nail polish? I don't wear that kind of stuff. I never wear it. What's wrong? Why are you asking me this question?"
I shook my head suspiciously and put the tea bag into my pocket, but saw Pei Xuwan smiling relaxedly: "Don't call me sister... Well, this is probably an unreasonable request. My baby hasn't come to see me for a long time. She is under the strict supervision of her brother. If you don't mind, you can call me mom..."
I thought, what a strange woman.
She is clearly old enough and looks like she can be my sister, but the request she made is so strange.
I looked at Pei Xuwan with pleading eyes, but ultimately failed to call her "Mom" as she wished. After accepting the tea bags and various desserts, I hurriedly opened the door.
