I slipped into the kitchen early in the morning and made hot tea. I simply love the taste and scent of bi luo chun (碧螺春). Been drinking pots and pots of it on this trip.
An Aunt ghost into the area and held out a hand for a cup too. Silently, we sipped our tea and stared at the bleak wintry field.
I spied my reflection in the mirror and was reminded that the white hairs were out in full force now. No dye applied so far could cover those roots for more than 3 months. It's been quite annoying to see the scalp dotted by 1-inch white hairs all over, not forgetting those that turn white overnight somehow. I thought the Aunt would know better. "Do you know of any permanent hair dyes that stay permanent?"
She came closer, tenderly swept my fringe aside and tucked it behind the ear. She looked at me rather critically. "You're not wearing enough bling." She pronounced. I blinked. "You know, to divert attention away from the white hairs."
I rolled my eyes.
