7.1 - The Seventh Flavor Part 1

Translator: tarararawr

Blood rushed to Xian Bei’s head and her brain felt buzzed. She almost didn’t clearly hear his words.

But she vaguely caught the main point. His name was Chen Zhuo.

Xian Bei was silent, but the burning temperature of her face didn’t go down.

The girl’s silence was expected. Chen Zhuo put away his smile, but his smile continued in his words. “You are so cute. Why do you always hide it?”

C-cute?!

It seemed to be the first time someone described her like this? Was it a compliment?

Maybe he’s just being polite……

Mainly, she……was not cute at all. Yuan Yuan said she was weird.

Xian Bei subconsciously raised her hand and tried to cover her face.

Two seconds later, she paused in the air. It seemed unnecessary…….she couldn’t see now.

Thus, the small arm fell back to her side. She lowered her head and didn’t know what to do next.

Chen Zhuo observed the bits and pieces of her movement before he handed over the paper bag. “Your milk tea.”

Xian Bei slowly nodded and put out her hands.

The sleeves of her coat were so long that when she reached out, the cuffs covered most of her hands. It only revealed the first joint of her fingers and her round, small, and unpainted fingernails.

Chen Zhuo moved the delivery a few centimeters forward and the girl used both hands to grab the paper bag……

And carefully moved the paper bag to herself……

It was like hugging a small pet in your arms……

Finally, she took the delivery into the house and turned around to the door……

She didn’t lift her eyes the entire time.

Her line of sight under the hoodie was probably at an 80-degree angle to keep an eye on the tip of her shoes.

Chen Zhuo smiled softly. “Go in. I will help you take the garbage downstairs.”

Xian Bei was stupefied for a moment and was overcome with the fear of losing her head. N-no.

If she troubled other people, she would feel uncomfortable. She just wanted to finish this by herself to the best of her ability.

But the man had already bent down and grabbed the three garbage bags into his hand. When he straightened up, he said his goodbye. “I’ll go.”

His eyes were fixed on the bangs coming out from the brim of the hat.

Ah!

No, I really don’t need your help……

I can finish it ……

I really don’t want to owe anyone anything……

Even though she had so many words in her heart that wanted to come out, Xian Bei was still unable to blurt them out.

The invisible things were lodged in her throat and the few attempts to talk were futile.

She lowered her eye and she saw the tip of the man’s shoes turn into the heels. Xian Bei became anxious and she reached out to tug the hem of his shirt!

Rather than tugging, it was more like a strong grab.

Because Chen Zhuo was wearing a white collared shirt, the hem stopped around the waistband, so……

She could only hold on to that piece of material.

Chen Zhuo naturally sensed this slight resistance. He stopped and turned around.

Xian Bei quickly pulled back and hid in her sleeves. Her ears became red.

She put all her strength into it, but she could not say anything. Fearing that she would take up more of his time, Xian Bei became more tense and anxious.

She could only put her hands in her pocket and dig for her cell phone. After digging for a long time, she finally took out her cell phone and lowered her head to frantically type.

“Don’t help me. I can do it myself.”

Xian Bei put the cell phone up to show the man.

Chen Zhuo looked intently and said, “It’s fine and it’s on my way.”

The girl retracted her hand and proceeded to type: “Thank you……I still want to do it myself.”

She was small and stubborn.

Chen Zhuo smiled and was no longer reluctant. He returned one bag to her.

Xian Bei was relieved and took it. She obediently stood in the same place waiting for the second and third bags.

Unexpectedly, the man stepped aside and said to her, “Let’s go downstairs together.”

Xian Bei: “……” Eh? He’s not giving the rest of the bags to her?

“Let’s go.” Chen Zhuo urged.

Xian Bei was very afraid of such a tone. She was forced to move and locked the door.

A pair of small shoes took two steps out. Xian Bei thought about it and felt that something was more and more wrong. Thus, she stopped in front of the stairs.

Chen Zhuo also stopped. “What’s the matter?”

Xian Bei did not say a word, but raised her left hand slightly and hastily, which should indicate for him to go first.

This was indeed the case.

Xian Bei did not like walking when there was someone behind looking at her.

It was like having a sharp tool pricking her spine. It’s so uncomfortable……

Chen Zhuo raised his eyebrows. He filtered out those puzzling thoughts and took the lead in going downstairs.

Xian Bei found room to breathe. She quietly inhaled two mouthfuls of air and followed.

One in front and one in the back. One down and one up.

One was tall and the other was petite.

One stood straight and the other had slightly rounded shoulders.

On the slope, one after another. Walking quietly.

Strong and bright white lights were coming in through the passageway windows. It made the atmosphere rather peaceful.

Xian Bei liked this atmosphere. The chaotic mood from the beginning was gradually calming down.

She bit her lower lips and could not help but raise her eyes towards the man……

His back was broad and his waistline was narrow. But, his long legs walked uncomfortably.

And she was just the opposite. She always had her hands and legs tied as if there was a magical seal around her that was used to imprison her. If she made a big move, she would be attacked by the seal.
