20.2 - The Twentieth Flavor Part 2

Translator: tarararawr

It was past ten o’clock in the evening when Chen Zhuo went to look for Xian Bei.

He had to ask his little tester master for help and advice on some samples because the promotional offer for “Rainbow” was about to start.

Xian Bei was not asleep yet. She immediately nodded and followed the man downstairs.

This was the first time she had come to the milk tea shop on the first floor since she moved here.

The sweet smell of creamy milk tea seemed to have seeped into the wood furniture over the years and did not disappear because the shop was closed at the moment.

From ancient times to the present, people liked to use aromatherapy in the bedroom because it could calm the mind.

If there was a kind of fragrance that could make Xian Bei feel at home and at ease, then it would be the smell of milk tea.

The plaza outside was shining brightly with vibrant lights and colors. The light would occasionally pour into the shop.

Xian Bei was able to see everything very clearly. Chen Zhuo pointed to a place to let Xian Bei wait first, and went to the back of the counter by himself.

Xian Bei went there without hesitation. The man glanced at her and then bent down to look for the materials and equipment he needed.

As soon as he got the whisk there was a faint cry from behind. Chen Zhuo tensed up. He immediately stood up and headed to the back.

——

The place that the man had just indicated for her to wait in was the back of the house, so Xian Bei went over there very innocently.

The door was closed and the lights were not on.

Do I want to go in?

He must have meant for her to go in and wait, right?

Xian Bei opened the door and stepped in without thinking.

Splat.

Why is there the sound of water?

Before she had the time to think about the reason, a wet chill rushed into the soles of her shoes. It startled Xian Bei and she almost fell.

Chen Zhuo turned on the lights as soon as he rushed over.

They were both stupefied when the lights were shining and showed everything.

At present, the back of the house had been reduced to a shower room. The floor had been flooded, and the light blue water was swishing around.

Chen Zhuo reacted in the next moment. He immediately picked up Xian Bei and placed her on the prep table.

After that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked briskly to the “main culprit”——the gurgling faucet in the sink. He pushed it to the other direction so that the leaking water could flow into the other sink’s drain.

After doing this, Chen Zhuo put his hands on his waist. He stepped on the water and looked around at the “flood disaster”. His heart lit up with a fire in anger. He just wanted to find Zhou Qingshu and get even with him.

The whisk was useless. Chen Zhuo wanted to find the screwdriver in the toolbox to see if he could stop the leak first.

His eyes paused when he passed by the girl.

They made eye contact.

She saw the man’s rarely serious face that seemed to be mixed with a slight bit of anger. Xian Bei, who had been blankly staring at him, couldn’t help shrink a little timidly.

He looked at her face for a few seconds, and then his eyes moved and arrived at the girl’s slippers on her feet.

The floor mop was probably already wet.

He was no longer in a hurry to get the tools to repair the faucet. Chen Zhuo went to her. He bent over to lift her feet and took off her slippers for her.

As expected, it was soaked with water.

The sudden touch made Xian Bei panic and she wanted to shrink back.

"

Chen Zhuo was only thinking about how her feet were so cold and wanted to warm her up.

But this resistance changed his mind, and he began to pay attention to the little foot he was holding.

White, soft, and smooth. The five delicate toes were already curled up like it was on guard.

“Don’t touch……” Xian Bei’s face had already turned red.

Chen Zhuo looked at her. Because of the way he was looking up from below her, these raised eyes caused his eyebrows to hang very low and pressed on his eyes; and as a result, it created a few lines on his forehead. It was inexplicably sexy and mischievous.

Even though he really did let go of his hand in the next second, the corners of his mouth went up and he asked, “What will happen if I touch it? Will it violate the laws of heaven?”

Wh-what? Xian Bei was puzzled for a moment. She didn’t have the ability to think critically at the moment. Her head was so close to the man just a moment ago. It could be said that……some presumptuous actions have stirred up some confusion.

Sometimes shy rejection was a kind of reverse seduction. It would make a person want more and have a desire to be roguish.

Especially in the face of such a flushed and dazed little girl.

Chen Zhuo stared at her for a while. His Adam’s apple moved slightly and he called her, “Xian Bei.”

Xian Bei raised her head, a dark shadow bent over. In a flash, her lips had been touched by a cool softness.

The touch came and left very fast, but Xian Bei probably guessed what it was.

"

"

There was a nuclear explosion in her body.

It was the end of the world.

Xian Bei sat stiffly in the same place. She stared at the man in front of her.

His arms were resting on her sides. It was clear that he had just finished a naughty sneak attack, but the face did not run away. It still stayed very close, and his warm breath was on her face.

“You have the courage to look at people now?” He asked with a smile in his eyes. “You can close your eyes when we kiss.”

As soon as the voice became silent, Xian Bei’s vision turned black from the warm and dry palm covering her eyes.

When the hot breath came again, Xian Bei could clearly feel that her lips were trembling out of control like her heart. It was like a mountain shaking from an earthquake, and perhaps it might stop in the next moment.
