After finally showering and throwing on something fresh, I step out of the bathroom, towel-drying my hair. Jiang is sitting in living room, eyes glued to the TV.
I plop down beside him on the couch. "Jiang."
His antennae twitch toward me, and then he turns his head with a bright grin.
"Yunhua smells good and fresh!!"
I blink. "Uh… thanks?"
He leans a little closer and sniffs. Sniffs!
"Like… flower shampoo!"
I smack his shoulder with a cushion. "Stop sniffing me like a dog, you weird space puppy!"
He giggles, wiggling his antennae. "Cute alien puppy?"
"Ugh, cute, cute, okay? You're cute, happy now?" I grumble, grabbing the remote and clicking the TV off.
Jiang blinks, his antennae droop slightly in confusion. "Show over?"
"Yes," I say firmly, turning to face him. "Because I told you yesterday, I have to say something very important today."
He straightens up immediately, back stiff like he's reporting for duty. "Yes yes. Important!"
