Seek Pleasure

7.

I took Robert to the mall. He only had that set of clothes and I didn't want to see him naked.

Although I had only been locked in the house by Robert for a day, it felt like a century. I couldn't help getting excited about everything I saw.

In April, all the trees planted in the community were in bloom. I took Robert and happily introduced these thriving species to him.

"Look, Robert, this one with white flowers is an apple tree."

"The white one is pear blossom."

"And this pink one is peach blossom."

People passed by us, and occasionally acquaintances would say hello and cast friendly glances at Robert.

Robert was very obedient as if he was not the cold orc I had seen in the lab.

When I narrated all the facts to him, he listened quietly without interrupting or refuting it. Then he reached out and picked a small pear blossom from the nearby pear tree, and stuck it in my hair.

The wind blew, ruffling my hair and wrapping my hair around Robert's fingers.
