We sat on the sofa watching TV. After a while, my aunt came back. She had big wavy brown hair with a very good color. She had put on makeup and looked energetic. She had an extraordinary temperament. She was indeed a beauty.
"Xiao Mi! How long have you been here?" She greeted us while changing her shoes, smiling. Today is her birthday, so she should be happy.
Yang Mi called her, "Aunt, this is my friend. Her name is—"
"Just call me Xiao Zhao. Yang Mi is my senior brother." I interrupted him and introduced myself. I don't like people introducing me by my name, Zhao Qinqin. I don't know why my family gave me such a name. It sounds a bit sour.
"Please sit wherever you like. I'm having dinner with friends today. I'm sorry to ask you to wait." My aunt spoke softly. She smelled of fresh floral and fruity notes, soft and a little sexy. I could tell it was Gucci Eau de Parfum II for women. Last month, it was my mother's birthday, and my father bought a bottle for her and me as a gift. Oh, it was my mother's birthday, and I got a share too.
I took out the wrapped gift from my bag and Yang Mi took it, "Aunt, happy birthday to you!"
"Oh, it must have been picked by Xiao Zhao. He has a really good taste. Thank you, thank you!" The aunt took the gift, looked very happy, and put it down gently.
I smiled but said nothing. She really knows how to talk.
We sat on the sofa and chatted for a while, then my aunt went to the kitchen to get out a refrigerated ice cream cake and shared it with us.
"Aunt has a birthday cake!" Yang Mi and I were surprised and happy.
"I don't really like sweets, so this was given to me by a friend," said my aunt as she opened the box.
Yang Mi and I looked at each other, smiled at the same time, and asked, "Auntie, don't you want to light the candles?"
"You are already so old, so please skip all the red tape."
…
Beautiful women have no shortage of male companions.
Before I knew it, it started to rain. The raindrops were heavy and heavy. After a while, there was thunder and lightning, and the wind was blowing. My aunt quickly closed the glass door between the living room and the balcony, leaving only a narrow gap. She went into the bedroom and closed the window.
"It's raining heavily." I walked to the glass door and looked at the sky outside.
"Yeah, why is it raining suddenly?"
"It's getting late. I should go home soon." I was a little worried because this place is not close to my home and it's hard to call a taxi when it rains.
"Don't worry, you two can sit for a while and leave later. I'll take you there." My aunt said quickly. From the tone of her voice, she was driving.
A gust of wind blew in through the crack in the door, it was so cold that I couldn't help but hug my arms tightly.
After all, women are more perceptive. "Xiao Zhao, I'll find you some clothes so you don't get cold." The aunt said as she went into the house. After a while, she came out with a windbreaker. "Put it on and see if it fits you."
I was just wondering whether I should put it on or not, but Yang Mi had already taken it for me, "Don't let the quilt get cold."
I tried it on, but it was a little too big and not tight enough. My aunt simply took my hand and walked into the room. Her hands were cold, but she didn't look cold. She was a unique woman. "Come in and try it on. Wear whichever one fits you best." My aunt waved at me and said so warmly that I couldn't refuse. I had to follow her into the room while saying "Excuse me, Auntie."
“No, no.”
This should be a guest bedroom, but it is more like a dressing room, with a huge wardrobe, a large dressing table and a well-made mirror. She opened the wardrobe and asked me to see which one would fit me. I pointed to a coat that looked a little smaller, and she took it out and gave it to me. I put it on and walked closer to the mirror to look at it. It seemed to fit me well. I didn't know until I looked at it, but I was shocked.
I caught a glimpse of a large crystal photo frame on the dressing table next to me. It was a photo of my aunt and a middle-aged man. It looked so familiar that I took two steps closer to take a closer look... At that moment, I felt suffocated. The man in the photo had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there was a brown mole at the corner of his eye. Oh my god, that couldn't be... For two seconds, I felt dizzy and almost fainted.
"Qinqin, are you ready?" Yang Mi called in the living room.
I immediately realized that this was at Yang Mi's aunt's house, so I calmed myself down and walked out as if nothing had happened. My back was facing her at the time, so I didn't know if she noticed anything.
… .
The rain stopped after a while. We didn't ask her to send us home, but took a taxi. In the car, I didn't say a word, and kept thinking about the scene just now. Did I see it wrong? Was my eyes blurry? I asked myself again and again, and overturned myself again and again. Yang Mi tried to talk to me and asked me why I was suddenly unhappy. He suddenly seemed like a different person. I ignored him and said coldly when I got off the car, "Goodbye!"
…
It was a coincidence that day. My father actually came home before me and was watching TV in the living room. I sat down next to him and tried to say something to him, trying to verify it from his side. I really hoped that my worry was unnecessary. However, before I opened my mouth, I smelled a soft and fresh floral and fruity fragrance... light and a little sexy... .
I stood up and ran upstairs in astonishment. At that moment, I really wished there was magic in the world so that we could only see what we wanted to see, and everything we didn't like would be invisible.
My mother’s Gucci Eau de Parfum II is quietly lying in the drawer under the dressing table, still unopened… ..
All of a sudden, I felt my head getting heavy, and my body could no longer bear the weight of it. (To be continued)
