Mischievous Princess Triplets
I drove my own Rolls-Royce Phantom back home. My home is a detached villa located in a bustling area, and the entire land of 167 square meters only has our one villa, because this is the property of my family's real estate company. Within the 167 square meters of the villa, all are planted with flowers.
For example, Rui likes blue orchids, Xin likes some special double-petaled varieties that have been hybridized and cultivated over a long period of time, the domestic wind chime is basically not cultivated, Mommy likes dark blue gladiolus, Dad originally didn't like flowers very much, he said that flowers are weak and not suitable for men to like. But under Mommy's threats and temptation, Dad said out his favorite flower - gentleman orchid, Dad said that the thick and smooth leaves of the gentleman orchid stand upright like a sword, symbolizing strong and unyielding noble character; its full-bodied flower shape and bright colors symbolize wealth, prosperity, and happiness. So Dad likes gentleman orchids more, and as for me, it's obvious, of course, it's purple mandrake. These flowers are obviously not suitable to be planted together, but Dad has done it.
So many varieties of flowers gathered together, the fragrance is already very pungent. However, around my villa, they are planted in large patches, possibly due to the increased quantity, the combined fragrance of these flowers is somewhat averaged and not as overwhelming as imagined. Although averaged, when smelling carefully, one can still distinguish the different varieties of flowers.
The house has some Gothic architectural features, but inside it still retains a Chinese style. In the hall, at the entrance, there is an ancient garden-style hollow screen. There's only one, but it adds endless mystery and color.
I opened the door and walked in. The living room was dimly lit, with only a few colored lights on the stairs that were relatively dark. I quietly made my way to the stairs.
"Tears, you're back. Do you have time to keep your old man company for a few drinks?" His father's hoarse voice came from the wine cabinet in the living room.
"Ah!" I walked over quietly, they must have already fallen asleep.
He handed me a highball glass, inside which was a pure transparent, clear and bright liquid with a glossy finish. As I brought my nose close to the glass, I caught a whiff of elegant fragrance, which is the fore-aroma of brandy. Then I gently swirled the glass, releasing the characteristic vinous aroma unique to brandy, reminiscent of juniper flowers, grape blossoms, dried tender grape shoots, grape pomace after pressing, lavender, and grass, among others. This scent was delicate, elegant, rich and dense, which is the after-aroma of brandy.
"How can you drink so much brandy? Aren't you afraid of getting drunk and your mom nagging nonstop?" I joked, taking a sip of the brandy in my hand. It had the pungent flavor of ethanol, the subtle sweetness of monosaccharides, the bitter taste of tannins and polyphenols, and the slightly sour taste of organic acids. The various stimuli of acidity, sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness were harmoniously coordinated, complementing each other perfectly. As soon as it touched my lips, it was smooth and flawless, with a rich flavor that lingered on. Taking a small sip of brandy and letting it spread and swirl in my mouth allowed my tongue and the inside of my mouth to fully contact and experience its wonderful aroma, flavor, and characteristics: harmonious, mellow, sweet, refreshing, delicate, full-bodied, lingering, pure...
"Don't worry, as long as you don't tell, your mom won't know."
"How did you know I wouldn't tell?" Then Dad and I exchanged a knowing glance. We didn't speak for a long time.
Night, very quiet.
"Tears, have you resented Father? You were so young, and yet Father let you go for training. Letting you live independently." Father's voice was filled with guilt.
"Regret? No, it's just that Rui and Xin are really silly. They could have lived a princess life, better than being with me, but they insisted on staying with me."
"Tears, you really..." Father's voice was choked with sobs. At this moment, he was no longer the high-and-mighty gang leader, but a father who felt guilty towards his own child.
"Honestly, Father, I've never blamed you for anything. Isn't what you're doing also for my own good? I know your concerns, you're afraid that if you can't provide for us in the future, we'll be unable to survive on our own. After all, no one can accompany another person for a lifetime." I grasped Father's hand that wasn't holding a wine cup.
"Haha~~~~~~~~~~" Father smiled with relief, perhaps when he heard me say that I didn't blame him, his heart was finally at ease.
"Alright, you must be tired too, go back and rest!"
"Alright, Father, you should get some rest too, goodnight!" I put down my wine cup, gave Father a hug, then went back to my room, took a bath, and went to sleep.
