Bab 155: Xiu Hua

"Xiu Hua! Didn't I ask you to go and buy me the wine? Where is the wine? Are you lying to me?" The woman's voice was loud and fierce.

The woman was around 35 years old. Her face still looked young and beautiful, but her body and skin had lost fluid (dehydrated). Her skin was dry and wrinkled. She looked dull and grey.

There was redness in her face and skin—also known as "alcohol flush"—and puffiness around her eyes and face due to water retention.

"No one sells good wine around this hour." Xiu Hua's face was expressionless.

He looked like an amaryllis.

The amaryllis is often said to represent splendid beauty, and it's also meant to indicate worth beyond physical beauty.


Which means that he looked too beautiful to be real. With his long blonde hair and silver eyes, the same as Xiu Ming, he looked as ethereal as a god.
