It's been a whole week and the rain hasn't stopped. Looking out the dark clouds without the help of mobile or wall clock you won't be able to distinguish between day and night.
" Gah gah"
" Hey stop messing with my handsome hairs !"
And for no reason Xiao fang has been so energetic these days. It's good that he is not sick nor am I having any fever.
I thought for sure that I may mutate this time too but nothing has happened and I am still normal.
This is a good sign right? I stared at the window. The loud sound of rain hitting the windows accompanied with abnormal temperature continued without any disturbance.
It looks like calm before storm.
"(Sniff sniff )Huh? " Why do I have a bad feeling.
I looked at xiao fang making strange faces on my lap.
" Not again!"
" Gah gah " the baby made laughing face at my reaction.
" I just washed up a little while ago!" I glared at the baby with irritation and then to my soaked pants.
" I should have let you wear diapers all day!" I carried the baby and walked to the bathroom.
I avoided using diapers as I could not dispose them because of rain and I can't stand the smell in the house !
Xiao fang looked satisfied after emptying his stomach and laid on his stomach while playing with dolls and bricks.
I don't know who he takes after! So stingy! I went to wash up again. I don't think I have taken that many baths in a months that I did in a week !
Looking in the mirror I saw my reflection clearly my natural blonde hair with blue eyes with my natural skin tone. These things were the ones I missed so much in the last days! Who likes red eyes with white hairs and too pale and white skin! I was literally ugly creature that only attracted ugly creatures! Poor me who died as virgin!
I wrapped my self with dry towel and came out of shower. The only background music I could hear was the rain pitter patter.
I walked by Xiao Fang's room who lied on his stomach and was sleeping with his drooling wide open mouth.
"This looks uncomfortable"
I slowly walked in and gently carried the baby from soft mattress and placed him on the bed.
" This is better "
I walked out and went to other room to dress up.
.....
Back in china
" Old Gu are you really going to let your grandson do this?"
Inside the living room two old man in their formal attire sit opposite from each other. They were having tea at the time. The man who called to general gu was the head of Zhang family. Both Gu and Zhang family had strong ties and the current heads of both family were old friends.
" I believe in my grandson. old zhang. Don't worry he is not someone who will make decisions on whim " old Gu sipped from his tea and looked at his old friend.
" I know Xiao huao is not reckless but I still worry ! Isn't it the same for you ?" Old Zhang had very worry look in his face as to how accepting his friend was of his grandson's decision that even he had hard time to understand.
" No I only trust him " old Gu stared out side the window.
Outside the window the dark clouds were still hovering over the sky and it was raining heavily.
He recalled the day his grandson came to him with a serious look of a man who has seen the death of his close ones and one who had returned from deaths bed. If looking at his grandson with that gaze does not faze him than the words spoken to him by his grandson made him trust even if it was all just a lie. After his son and daughter in law's death, he poured all his love to his two grandsons so they will will never miss their parents. It was not a bluff that he would trust his beloved grandsons.
Looking at old Gu like this Old Zhang only sighed.
" Have you gotten any news on about Xiao Han and his wife"
Mentioning the name of his other grandson old gu finally looked at old Zhang.
" He said that we can never see them again " saying this the tears fell from his eyes.
Old Zhang was shocked to see this. He quickly stood up and went close to his friend and consoled him.
" Don't worry there must be other reason for that I am sure we will see them again !"
" Yeah " old Gu was embarrassed to find himself crying.
" Old Gu you are still a crybaby. I remember you being crybaby since our childhood!" Old Zhang patted his back.
" Stop it " old gu slapped his hand in annoyance.
" Isn't Xiao han also crybaby? You both are a pair of big crybabies!" Old zhang teased him while the the later just gave him irritated look.
"Too much dilly dally now tell me why did you want to talk me so privately?" Old gu just changed the topic.
Seeing this old Zhang shrugged his shoulders and took his seat and looked serious.
" You must know that the action of your grandson has already alerted our old enemies." Old Zhang said.
" That old snake is still not tired of playing tantrums." Old gu looked at his friends.
" Isn't old age the time when mental age reverses " old Zhang joked but he already knew that his friend already knew old Snake's moves that were leaving very obvious traces.
"Isn't he always trying to take control over military as a politician he must be anxious to see the military having strong control?" Old Zhang continued roasting this old snake.
"Well that doesn't matter anymore not in the coming time. Who has the highest command only strongest's fist will speak." Old gu said with muse.
" Old gu you have already thought that far " old Zhang also had this thought but his buddy was always step ahead.
Both old friends continued their chat.
To be continued.
