Ugly and fat are taboo words for women.
Saying a woman is fat can cause a bigger reaction than calling her ugly.
But compared to the comment "ugly," sometimes "fat" is not necessarily an insult.
Like now.
Despite suddenly being told she has gained weight, Pei Yunxi shows no sign of anger, not even a reaction, and she continues to gaze out the window at Kaluzi City, like a fine sculpture, without turning her head.
"Isn't this nightgown a bit small?"
Jiang Chen seems slow to realize, "I'll have them bring a larger size tomorrow."
His perseverance is truly admirable.
At such a moment, such a wonderful time, he's still in the mood for nonsense.
Wolong and Fengchu will never appear alone.
Pei Yunxi, quite a character herself, replied, "Can you sleep now?"
What does that mean?
We haven't even had a proper conversation yet.
Just at the sight of a back view, are you ready to show me out?
"I feel like you're not sleepy either."
Boss Jiang understands how to take the lead, people are straightforward, and he doesn't hesitate, stepping forward to stand beside her.
"Why didn't you wash your hair?"
His nose twitched.
"..."
Is he here to chat or to pick a fight?
"I can't wash it alone."
Pei Yunxi remains calm and composed, whether due to an actress's strong emotional control or a serene mindset.
Can't wash hair alone?
Really...
Some beauty just looks so expensive.
"I'll call up the Filipino maid."
Jiang Chen said.
"No need. It's too late, it won't dry easily."
Pei Yunxi refused.
Boss Jiang remains understanding, "If you're not used to those Filipino maids, I can help."
Pei Yunxi turns her head.
Jiang Chen looks sincere.
"Do you know how to wash hair?"
Jiang Chen chuckled, "Who doesn't know how to wash hair?"
Hold on.
Why does it feel like he's insulting someone?
Pei Yunxi looked at him for a moment, then nodded; she wasn't shy and actually agreed.
Then something utterly absurd happened.
Alone man and woman, in the dead of night, actually entered the bathroom to start washing hair.
"Tell me if the pressure is too much."
Pei Yunxi sat on a stool, head leaning back, her silky hair falling into the bathroom sink.
Jiang Chen stood, one hand holding the showerhead, the other hand rubbed; his technique might not be as professional as a top stylist, but at least it didn't cause any complaints from Pei Yunxi.
Meanwhile.
Also ensuring.
He's just washing hair,
not taking the opportunity to peek at the alluring scenery revealed at the nightgown neckline.
"Why are your eyes so wide open, close them."
Jiang Chen rinsed her forehead with the showerhead, hands still busy.
Though not professional, he was serious.
The foam gradually rinsed away.
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Chen turned off the showerhead, went to get a towel, aiming for full service.
Women are indeed more troublesome.
Washing hair isn't easy, and neither is drying it.
After a simple wipe, Jiang Chen fetched the hairdryer, a mighty capitalist playing the role of Toni.
When you're broke, you can test a man's sincerity by seeing if he's willing to spend money.
But for someone to whom money is just numbers, the best way to test is to see if he's willing to do some trivial things.
The hairdryer roared loudly.
In the cold winter.
Boss Jiang was busy and sweating profusely.
"Why is your hair so thick? You can't tell usually, what brand of shampoo do you use?"
"..."
Why does he always ruin the atmosphere?
"I'll do it myself."
Pei Yunxi didn't complacently enjoy, wanted to take the hairdryer.
"Fine, if it doesn't dry, it's easy to catch a cold sleeping in this weather."
Jiang Chen looked at the mirror, holding the hairdryer in one hand, pushing through the thick hair with the other, becoming increasingly skillful.
Pei Yunxi also looked at the mirror, no longer insisting on doing it herself, pondering something.
Hair washing took nearly half an hour, drying another half an hour.
Just like that, an hour passed.
"Done, wrapping up."
Jiang Chen put down the hairdryer, intentionally sniffing the top of Pei Yunxi's head, "Hmm, smells good now."
The night deepened.
The city lights grew sparser.
It was almost midnight.
Alright.
The purpose of the visit was achieved.
He should be sleepy.
"It's late, you should sleep."
After giving her a free hair wash, Jiang Chen planned to leave just like that.
Of course.
It's not excluded that he's advancing by retreating, playing hard to get.
Not knowing if Pei Yunxi felt about the hair wash experience, she didn't test if he was using military strategy, simply didn't wait for him to reach the door, just as Jiang Chen turned and only took one step, she spoke.
"Don't you charge for washing people's hair?"
"We're so familiar, talking money is too tacky."
Jiang Chen seemed genuinely just performing volunteer work, speaking, continued leaving from her side.
"Are you this patient with every woman?"
Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks.
What does that mean?
Seems to understand.
Yet also seems not to fully understand.
"Is this a compliment?"
He turned back, probing the question.
Pei Yunxi looked at him, for a long while, then suddenly moved a step aside.
"Goodnight."
"..."
This time it was Jiang Chen's turn to be baffled.
What sort of tactic?
Deliberately flirting with him?
"If you must show appreciation, I don't mind."
He wasn't in a hurry to leave.
"Remember to close the door."
Pei Yunxi purposefully ignored his words, directly heading to the big bed.
Jiang Chen frowned.
Then.
As she walked past him, he suddenly reached out
With a "smack" sound.
Waves spread in all directions.
Pei Yunxi stood still abruptly.
Jiang Chen withdrew his hand, expression unchanged, as if he was just retrieving his due compensation.
"Next time, remember to call me for a wash."
All seemed calm, but the hand that he placed down was trembling slightly, revealing his true emotions.
Such plump and astounding elasticity!
Much clearer and deeper than last time when drunk.
After speaking, Jiang Chen no longer stayed, stepping away.
If he didn't leave now, he wouldn't be able to.
Who knows how much willpower he used!
"Bang."
The door opened and closed again.
Until someone left, Pei Yunxi stood there, facing away from the direction of the room door, motionless. From this angle, you could see her face wasn't of shame, nor anger, but a kind of nearly teased irritation.
To some women, a casual poker game is just ordinary; after sleep, one can act like strangers, the next day switching to another card player.
And some women, a slap on the backside is essentially no different from directly pouncing her onto the bed.
It's like rubbing but not actually going in!
Thinking from a woman's perspective...
Don't want to think anymore.
Really damnable.
Pei Yunxi adjusted her breathing, but the part never touched by anyone before was still overwhelmed by waves of pain.
"Ah~~"
Even the most stable person has moments of emotional breakdown,
The goddess occasionally turns into a drama queen.
The sheets, pillows flew up.
Just washed hair became messy.
It really was unnecessary.
Where's that bottle of melatonin just now?
