The Mutating Void

"Heck, did I have a choice? I didn't do it out of my own accord!" Xu Lan wiped his mouth furiously with the blanket as Bai Wu's words reminded him of Li Xiu's bloody scent. Bai Wu remained grumpy and refused to look at him.

"Speak up!" Xu Lan gave Bai Wu a violent kicked and shouted. He suspected that Bai Wu lacked a brain, perhaps that was why he acted on his instincts all the time. In fact, he could not even distinguish between right and wrong.

"Sob, sob… Papa, you said you'll love me and be with me forever. You can only have my scent on you! I hate it when you smell like someone else. Hic..."

Bai Wu turned and looked at Xu Lan as he wailed. He was not behaving like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old. He had a runny nose and tears were gushing from his eyes. It was a symphony of sniffing, sobbing, and hiccups. He did not care about his image and wailed miserably.
