Jiang Yu wanted to laugh even more. Wei Yi Yi's deliberate efforts on dodging things she didn't want did not go unnoticed by him. Somehow, just then, the fatigue accumulated these days vanished. It was not a wrong choice to come at Xian Feng Palace.
With his gaze warming, Jiang Yu brought all attention to Wei Yi Yi. He was sitting on the bed while she stare down at him. Her robes were thin and without adornment. There was no touch of powder in her jaded face, however, her cheeks have the healthy glow of red. Her long, silky and purely black hair was let down freely without any restriction. Despite the lack of any jewelry to hold them, it just look as pretty as any treasure.
Jiang Yu cannot help but reach for a single touch. As expected, it was as smooth as it looked like. A touch was then no longer enough. He brought the lock of hair closer to his lips and send a gentle kiss.
He took back what he said. Wei Yi Yi looked far from terrible. In fact, at that moment, she was all the he sees.
It was such an intimate moment for a husband and wife, and yet, goosebumps assaulted Wei Yi Yi. The hand that rest on Jiang Yu's other palm twitch uncontrollably. Without breaking any contact, Jiang Yu looked at her directly to the eyes. Her sight from above is quite amazing, she blushed in shame.
What a fine specimen of a man!
Suddenly, as a failed specimen of a woman, Wei Yi Yi turned even more determine to find a male consort so that her Boss wouldn't go to waste.
A rotten woman like her, only develop crushes for the sake of shipping them with each other.
Setting a ship on sail and the one on board are both of her crush--- that's their specialty.
They said that handsome males are either taken or gay. While for others, it's a disaster that destroy their prospect in finding a partner, for Wei Yi Yi, it's the best if they indeed pair up with each other and give her a good quality BL.
"As my empress, you should take note of what you look when you meet others," he told her. In order the have a whisk of her smell, Jiang Yu pulled Wei Yi Yi a bit closer. Before Wei Yi Yi could refute, his tone turned stern and added, "Go and sit in front of your bronze mirror."
He gasped the hand in his palm and lead Wei Yi Yi before standing behind her in satisfaction. In the end, despite her internal voice shouting, Wei Yi Yi decided to be obedient and sat properly.
"This," rubbing her hair between his fingers, from the mirror, Wei Yi Yi saw his expression turned somewhat drunken. "I'm the only one allowed to see."
Wei Yi Yi heart turned badump badump.
Her Boss keep on showing symptoms of someone who have a hair fetish. Wei Yi Yi wouldn't be surprise anymore if he end up being diagnosed as such. What worries her is whether she is allowed to know such secret or not!
For his dignity, she decide to keep quiet and stiffly remain in place. 'It's just a hair,' she chant on her head.
With his hands, Jiang Yu combed her hair repeatedly. Wei Yi Yi felt the very tip of his fingers as it brushed on her scalp then slide down slowly. Each strand of her hair would happily graze his skin then. An intentional caress matched up with an infatuated expression, Wei Yi Yi was shown directly in front.
Jiang Yu swept the hair from the side of her face then tucked it behind her ear. Leaning down and resting his head on her shoulder, the moment he breathe her scent, Wei Yi Yi felt his hot breath directly against her skin.
Wei Yi Yi whole being shouted in alarm.
A lovable moment between husband and wife--- that's the image the reflected in her eyes as she stare astonishingly at the mirror.
Her heart was prickled by pins and finally--- after the initial panic, her mind turned silent. Wei Yi Yi grabbed her hand that kept trembling and hide it within her wide sleeves. She turned even more silence as she direct her gaze downward, no longer willing to look at the mirror.
At last, as if he had his fill, Jiang Yu reach out for the wooden comb and properly smooth out her hair. He would softly hold a lock of hair with his palm and with a very patience movement, slowly untangle every strand. Not once, did he insert unnecessary force, it was as if what he's holding is something so fragile yet very important. This set of action, Wei Yi Yi is very familiar with them.
As an ancient person, 'Wei Yi Yi's' hair is longer compare to what she deemed as standard. It reach up to her lower back and compare to her short octopus cut hair from the modern time, the difference is too contrasting. But when she was younger, Wei Yi Yi also have a long hair that reach her back. At that time, Si Song would comb it for her. His action as gentle as Jiang Yu's and great care was shown.
Sometimes, Ye Ming would do it too. He told her that a guy that could style a girl's hair is very popular and so, he needed to practice. Although all he could do in the end is make a nest out of it and sadly, out of boredom, Wei Yi Yi end up cutting her long hair.
Wei Yi Yi finally relax her tense nerves and close her eyes in comfort. Just to feel a bit more of the familiar feelings that she longed for, she willingly let Jiang Yu do what he wanted.
*In ancient times, a woman can only let her hair down completely when taking a bath or sleeping. Anything else is disgracing yourself. Also, married woman tie up all their hair.
