Chapter 112 Ill-fitting Pajamas
"...That's going too far." Speechless, Qiao Mei went to ask Xu Hui if there were any men's pajamas left in the house.
"No, your grandfather has never stayed overnight here before. Have you forgotten?" Xu Hui asked Qiao Mei after replying to her from the kitchen. Why did she ask that? Did Xu Heyu not have pajamas?
"If he doesn't have pajamas, he can wear his own change of clothes. The situation is special now, so we can't be too particular."
Qiao Mei: "...The problem is, he doesn't even have a change of clothes."
After saying that, Qiao Mei glanced at the smart bracelet. It was almost nine o'clock, long past the delivery time of the interstellar shopping website. Even if she bought it now, it would not arrive until tomorrow.
"What should we do then? Why don't you take a look and get out some unisex pajamas that you haven't worn before? He can't keep wearing dirty clothes, can he?"
As things stand, this is the only option.
After listening to what Xu Hui said, Qiao Mei resigned herself to her fate, went upstairs to her bedroom, and opened the wardrobe to look for something.
She didn't realize it until she opened it; once she did, she discovered that her wardrobe was already crammed full of Ao Cang's pajamas, some for when he was eight years old, and others for when he was eighteen.
And some everyday clothes that she bought for him out of her own little scheme.
As for her own clothes, they were squeezed to the very edge by Ao Cang's clothes. She only had a few pieces, and her pajamas were also few and far between, all of which she had worn.
Seeing her looking conflicted as she rummaged through several pajamas, Ao Cang asked her, puzzled, "Aren't his pajamas for Xu Heyu to wear?"
Qiao Mei paused for a moment, then looked down at him and patiently explained, "It's possible, but you can't let others know that you can turn into a human right now. If I suddenly take out a men's nightgown, it will be difficult to explain to Xu Heyu, and it will be difficult to explain to my mother as well."
"Oh, I forgot." The Dragon God hadn't thought of that. Seeing that Qiao Mei had finally chosen a set of sky-blue long-sleeved pajamas with cloud patterns and lace trim, he found it hard to imagine what Xu Heyu, a grown man, would look like in such pajamas.
Qiao Mei carried the pajamas to the bathroom and helped Xu Heyu throw his dirty clothes into the laundry basket. She planned to tell him that the pajamas for him to change into were already outside when she took them to be washed and dried.
"As for underwear, you can hand wash it and blow-dry it before wearing it. I really can't prepare any underwear for you at home."
Xu Heyu had already finished washing up and was just about to dry off when he heard Qiao Mei say that she had prepared pajamas for him. The embarrassment on his face lessened a bit.
Once he was sure he couldn't hear any noise coming from outside, he opened the bathroom door a crack and reached for the pajamas on the table.
But when he received the pajamas, he realized that the style looked a bit strange.
"Why does it look so much like... a women's style?" Xu Heyu stammered, unfolding the pajamas for a closer look. He realized he was right; it was indeed a women's style of pajamas, and it even had a faint rose scent. It was obvious whose it was.
He was stunned for a while before he accepted the fact that he had received Qiao Mei's pajamas. His eyes, which had been shrouded in gloom for the past few days, suddenly became much brighter.
He carefully put on the pajamas, but because of his height and build, the pajamas looked a little small on him, with too much of his arms and legs showing, making him look quite comical.
But after wiping the mist off the mirror, revealing his wet hair, he couldn't help but smile, his blue eyes brimming with a subtle grin.
The little white wolf, Zhui Feng, who had taken a bath with him, was genuinely happy for his master's joyful appearance. He kept turning around and trying to grab his own tail.
Qiao Mei was unaware of all this.
After she put Xu Heyu's clothes into the washing machine to wash them, she washed her hands and went to help Xu Hui serve the dishes.
When everything was ready and only Xu Heyu was missing, he finally arrived late with the little white wolf, Zhui Feng.
The young man was tall and slender with long arms and legs. Her sky-blue cloud-patterned lace nightgown looked extremely ill-fitting on him.
Qiao Mei stared at his chest, which was almost bursting open the neckline of her pajamas, revealing his very muscular chest. She silently commented in her mind, "No wonder he's the male lead; his physique is impeccable."
His hair was only half-dry, which resulted in a lot of fine black hairs sticking to his forehead, making it look a little frizzy, somewhat like a little wild wolf that had just taken a bath.
He glanced at Qiao Mei and Xu Hui a little embarrassedly, his handsome face flushed slightly, and awkwardly tugged at the hem of his pajamas: "This might not look very good..."
Xu Hui reacted quickly, stepping forward to help Xu Heyu to her seat. With a smile on her face, she said, "Oh, it's just clothes. We're at home, just a few of us. It doesn't matter if they look good or not. Let's light some candles. Today is your birthday, and Xiao Mei and I have prepared birthday gifts for you."
As Xu Hui spoke, she handed the new light brain bracelet she had bought for Xu Heyu to him. Seeing this, Qiao Mei also pushed her simply wrapped gift box in front of him and sincerely wished him a happy birthday.
Xu Heyu didn't rush to open the gift box. Looking at the sincere blessings in Xu Hui and Qiao Mei's eyes, her heart warmed and her nose tingled.
But he quickly composed himself, took a deep breath, and said a very soft thank you.
After the gifts were given and the blessings were spoken, the dinner officially began.
During the meal, Xu Hui kept putting food on Xu Heyu's plate to take care of him, while Qiao Mei did the opposite, putting food on Ao Cang's plate.
I even made him some cake and fed him myself.
Xu Heyu watched this scene without giving it much thought, simply assuming that Qiao Mei and Ao Cang had a good relationship as master and servant.
After seeing how well Ao Cang was treated, the little white wolf Zhui Feng also tried to get Xu Heyu to feed it.
Xu Hui was amused and decided to release her intermediate-level Flaming Vermilion Bird Crystal.
This was the first time Qiao Mei had ever seen a familiar beast of intermediate form in real life, and her attention was instantly drawn to it.
Jingjing looks a lot like a peacock, but instead of the bluish-green feathers on its tail, it has long, bright red fire feathers, and flames burn on its crest. It is also quite large.
Ao Cang noticed that Qiao Mei's eyes were practically glued to Jingjing, and suddenly the sweet cream cake in his mouth tasted bitter.
After dinner, Qiao Mei helped Ao Cang rinse his mouth and was about to make his routine offering when she suddenly heard him ask if he wanted to see his intermediate form.
Ao Cang: You're acting like nobody else has one, what are you showing off for?!
Jingjing: Speechless, who's showing off?!
