PS: Merry Christmas
Chapter 115: Witch and Paramecium (Q)
C.C. woke up alone in her bed.
She had always been like this, when she fell asleep or when she woke up, she was never alone. By chance, from one day in the past, she began to try to get used to being with someone, to the feeling of having her hair pressed by someone when she opened her eyes. When she gradually became obsessed with this life, the person who gave her this warmth told her, "Please change your habits back."
"The best way to not be rejected is to reject others first." She stared blankly at the familiar and unfamiliar ceiling, "I accidentally forgot it."
She squinted on the bed for a while longer before she got up with difficulty, walked to the closet, and opened the door, trying to find a dress from it that she had worn relatively few times.
Wearing nice clothes was probably one of the few pleasures in her boring life, and no matter how time moved forward, there would always be new clothes. Whenever she changed into a new dress, she would have the delusion that time had flowed on her, and this feeling made her addicted.
However, one day, she found new meaning in the matter of changing clothes. How interesting was it that a young boy, only fourteen years old, would look at her with the admiring eyes of a male? She started buying more clothes, changing into better-looking clothes, and wearing fewer clothes at home just to get all kinds of different reactions from him. It was as if she got some kind of unspeakable novelty and satisfaction from it and was happy with it.
But just like everything in the world expires, clothes expire too. No matter how nice a piece of clothing is, after it has been worn many times, the clothing has expired for the person looking at it.
"So I am also expired." She looked in the mirror and smiled to herself, "Is this a surprise?" (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
C.C., who was dressed and freshened up, walked into the empty living room. Ade took Ange out of the office and Lacus went to work. She was the only one in the house when there was no Momoka before, and she didn't feel any less lonely now that there were two people in the house. Even if there were a dozen more maids, the loneliness would not be reduced in the slightest.
"Momoka, aren't you lonely at home alone?" She asked casually, "Every day."
"It is the duty of a good maid to wait for her master to return!" Momoka smiled sweetly, "And Miss C.C. is home too, I'm not alone."
C.C. could certainly hear another layer of meaning under the maid lady's smile.
"Waiting for the master to return." She read in a low voice, "And what am I, a maid? Or a slave girl?"
After lunch, C.C. slumped on the sofa and turned on the TV to watch the series she had been following. The show wasn't really interesting, and the full episodes were actually available online, but she didn't know how to spend her time if she didn't watch it.
Momoka was cleaning beside her, and she insisted on cleaning all the places every day even though the house was already clean. Maybe she doesn't know how to spend her time either, C.C. thought silently.
The TV show soon finished, and she changed the channel to the next one she was following, and then the next one after that. Soon all the dramas she was catching were finished, and she began to press the remote control constantly to change channels. Just two more hours of this and it would be time for dinner, so that the afternoon could be consumed without so much pain.
She still preferred TV to the Internet, because the Internet required her to find information herself, while the TV was just playing - she didn't know what she was looking for.
As she wearily pressed the remote control, the décor of the house came into her view from the afterglow.
She remembered the place where they had first lived, small but spacious for two people. The house was so plain that there was no atmosphere of home in it at all, and it was she who bought the necessities of life to the house little by little. Not just him, but she herself began to call that place home. At that time, she looked forward to going back every year immensely.
And here, there was everything and nothing she needed to buy, but she always felt as if she was a guest in someone else's home. Maybe not letting Momoka clean her room was the last thing she held on to.
Time passed slowly, and Momoka finally started cooking dinner. The maid lady hummed lightly as if she was doing something very happy.
Momoka must be very fond of Ange, is it such a happy thing to have someone you like to eat the dinner you made? C.C. thought with some bewilderment.
"Momoka, I'll do it." So she said on a whim, "I'll make dinner today."
She could cook, of course; it was hard for her to even think of what she didn't know how to do. But all the same, it took her a long time to figure out how to cook. Fortunately, she has the kind of body that heals quickly, whether she cuts her finger with a knife or burns her skin with hot oil. So even without Momoka's help, she did it all alone.
No one knows how many injuries she suffered for this table, because Miss C.C. would have been uninjured. Everyone thought so, even she thought so.
The sound of the door opening came from the foyer, and she didn't turn around, waiting for Ade to let out a surprised cry and maybe hug her from behind. But she heard only the footsteps of two people, judging by the lightness of their steps, Ange and Mineva.
"Ade is having a dinner party with some male friends tonight." Ange said aloud, "Not coming back for dinner."
For a moment, C.C. wanted to throw the object in her hand out in annoyance. After a moment, even that annoyance expired.
After another moment, Lacus returned from work. Ange relayed the news to her that Ade would not come back for dinner today, and Lacus nodded expressionlessly to indicate that she knew.
Lately, Lacus had been like this, not approving, not opposing, not active, not resisting. She does all the work she needs to do, but she also never takes the initiative to please anyone. Someone can fuck whoever he wants at night, she will not ask him in any case.
This is probably the last of her dignity? Is probably the most painful thing. C.C. thought chillily.
Four women sat at the table, and it was Ange who initiated the conversation, while C.C. and Lacus only answered passively.
"C.C., you've known Ade the longest and know him the best, right?" Ange looked to her, "He has a birthday coming up and I don't know what to get him as a gift, do you know what he likes?"
"Knowing someone doesn't mean anything, people change." C.C. replied, "Today he likes this, tomorrow he can like something else."
Ange didn't get it, maybe she will later, C.C. thought cantankerously.
"Ade never has a birthday." Lacus said despondently, "Of course, like C.C. said, maybe he's starting to have one from this year, too."
"Never has a birthday?" Ange looked surprised, "Why?"
"Yeah, why?" C.C. mumbled and repeated, "What's the point of knowing?"
After the meal, Momoka began to clean the dishes, Mineva went back to write homework, Lacus returned to her home, and Ange played her phone in the living room while waiting for Ade to come back. C.C. didn't find anything to do, so she decided to sleep earlier today.
In the middle of the night, C.C. woke up in a haze. She reached out and grabbed her cell phone from the nightstand and turned it on to check the time. The sudden light in the darkness made her squint slightly - it was only 2:00 am.
"I really shouldn't have gone to bed too early." She muttered to herself and casually tapped an icon on her phone, and a voice she knew too well to be familiar rang out in the empty room.
