Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 14


"Many people will drink a glass of beer and relax after a day of work. With the rise of craft beer, more and more types of beer have entered the public eye..." Chen Zui's voice came from the audio. The pleasant sound makes beer sound a bit more high-class.

“Zhen Tian, move. You’re blocking my view of Chen Zui’er.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen frowned, trying to drive Zhen Tian away. Zhen Tian also frowned and said impatiently, "Quiet down, I can’t hear Chen Zui's voice! Can't you see the TV so big!"

Zhen Tian sat in the same position without moving and put all her attention on Chen Zui on TV.

“Oh, I was wondering why you are up so early today. It turns out it is because of the beer segment.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen moved her position and also stared at the TV, “I remember hearing someone say the morning, breakfast, and morning news does now exist in their life.”

"..." Zhen Tian coughed and said, "Who is this person? Who is so ignorant? I definitely don't know her!"

"Haha." Ms. Wang Shuzhen felt that people on the Internet were right. The essence of a man sure is hypocritical. “If you’re so energetic now when you appear on screen later, what will happen?”

“Right, I will appear on the screen. They even came to interview me.”

“It doesn’t mean they will show it. Maybe they will cut you off?”
"..." Zhen Tian finally moved her gaze away from the TV for a second, and gave Ms. Wang Shuzhen a bitter look, "Can't you say something nice?"

Later, when she and Chen Zui appear in the same frame together, it will scare her to death.

On TV, the beer segment officially started. It first gave a general introduction to the current beer industry, briefly showing the audience a wide range of beers. Then, it moved on to the interview session. Zhen Tian wasn’t the only one the production team interviewed nor was Chen Zui the only reporter. Zhen Tian held Pudding and waited for more than ten minutes before it moved on to her.

Zhen Tian sat upright in an instant.

After post-editing, the first thing in the shot is the overall environment of her bar, with a voice-over commentary from Chen Zui.
She held her breath in nervousness. This is her first time on TV and it is on ABA news! When Chen Zui appeared with the microphone, Zhen Tian's face also appeared on the screen.

Pudding barked in her arms and tried to break free from Zhen Tian's tight hold.

On TV, Chen Zui is already talking to her. She doesn’t know if Ms. Wang Shuzhen was scared to death but she was.

She never knew that watching the news was so exciting.

"Zhen Tian, how come the reporter who interviewed you is Chen Zuier?! Why didn't you say it earlier?" Ms. Wang Shuzhen's voice rang out in surprise, her volume a few degrees higher than usual.

Zhen Tian held back for so long, just waiting for this moment. She controlled her expression and turned around to look at her, "You didn’t ask, so why should I mention it."

She can finally say it to her!

"You!" Ms. Wang Shuzhen was in a complicated mood at the moment, angry and excited. After a while, she managed to maintain her image, "Haha, it’s only an interview. Look at how proud it made you."

“Lalala, I am proud.” Zhen Tian's expression and tone vividly showed her pride, "I saw Chen Zui in person, are you envious? Don't you say that I am doing something useless? Do you still feel it’s useless now?"
“...” Ms. Wang Shuzhen’s lips twitched. She wouldn't admit her envy if she was beaten to death, "Isn’t it only making beer? How hard can it be? I understand."

“Oh, really?”

Ms. Wang Shuzhen dismissed it and said, "What milk stout? Just add some milk to stout beer. How amazing is that?"
“....” Zhen Tian was silent for a moment, “Then according to you, Milk Indian Pale Ale is just regular Indian Pale Ale with milk?”

“Isn’t it?”

“I’m telling you if you do this, it will be unpalatable. Please stay away from the beer industry and stay away from beer and milk.”
Ms. Wang Shuzhen, “...”

The beer segment lasted 30 minutes. Zhen Tian watched the TV until nine o’clock until Chen Zui signed off. Then, she got up and left the living room.

“I’m going back to sleep.” She yawned and walked upstairs.

“Wait.” Ms. Wang Shuzhen stopped her and raised her chin, "Did Chen Zui contact you for the interview?"

“I guess so.”

"Then you have his contact information?"

Zhen Tian stopped and laughed obnoxiously, “I do. I even have his WeChat. But I won’t tell you, lalalala~!”

She ran upstairs happily. Ms. Wang Shuzhen was so angry she wanted to throw the potato in her hand at her head: "Zhen Tian, there is no lunch for you today!”

Zhen Tian didn't care, "I can order takeaway myself!"

“Let’s see you do that for the rest of your life!”

Zhen Tian closed the door, shutting out Ms. Wang Shuzhen’s roar as she happily rolled on the bed. She picked up her phone and sent a message to Chen Zui.

Zhen Tian: Senior, I just saw the news! Unexpectedly, I am quite photogenic hahaha!

Zhen Tian: My mother saw it too. She was so envious hahaha! She also asked me for your contact information, but I didn't give it to her hahaha!

Chen Zui's cell phone was on his desk, so he saw it after he came back from the studio. Although Zhen Tian sent text messages, he could feel her rushing energy across the screen. Chen Zui smiled and sat down to reply to her.

Chen Zui: You can give it to her, I don't mind.

Zhen Tian: If I give it to her, she will send messages to harass you!

Chen Zui: It’s fine.

Zhen Tian: Forget it. If possible, you can give her your autograph.

Chen Zui: Sure, I will give it to you next time.

Zhen Tian: Okay, then I won't disturb your work

Chen Zui: En, let's talk later

Zhen Tian thought for a while and finally sent another message, “You look very handsome today!”

After the message was sent, she threw her phone aside and covered her head with her blanket.

Ah, is it too straightforward? But last time, he praised her for her cuteness. This time, she complimented him back could be considered a courtesy!

After a while, there was no sound coming from the phone. Zhen Tian poked her head out of the blanket and took the phone.

Chen Zui didn’t reply back. Did she scare him?

Zhen Tian pulled the blanket over herself again and reflected.
At ABA TV, Chen Zui has been staring at his phone for a minute. Deng Liyang, who was passing by, observed him for 30 seconds, then walked to his desk, "Why are you smiling so big? Are you talking to your junior sister?"

Chen Zui put down his phone and glanced at him, "Is the matter between you and Li Miao resolved?"

“Whenever I mention Zhen Tian, you will mention Li Miao.” Deng Liyang originally planned to turn his head and leave, but after seeing Chen Zui up close, he stopped again, "Your makeup today seems to be more exquisite than before?" "

The female anchor sitting to the side did her makeup with Chen Zui this morning and couldn’t help but speak up when she heard Deng Liyang’s words, “Chen Zui was very strict with his makeup today. Even his hair took ten minutes longer than usual.”
Chen Zui, “....”

Deng Liyang touched his chin and asked the female colleague who had just spoken, "What news did you broadcast today?"

"Nothing special, oh, there was a beer segment today."

"Oh, no wonder." Deng Liyang immediately figured out the reason, "Anchor Chen is really more flirty than I thought."

"..." Chen Zui pursed his lips and drove Deng Liyang away from his office area, "Go back to wherever you came from, don't bother me here."

Deng Liyang shamelessly asked, “Why, are you going over to your junior’s place for a drink tonight?”

“No.”

“Oh, are you still shy?"

The female anchor pricked her ears and listened to their conversation. Junior? Who are they talking about?

Chen Yiran was also curious about this “junior.”

Chen Yiran who had been catching up with all of This Morning's Headline’s broadcasts finally saw Zhen Tian!

He never expected her to be his uncle’s interviewee!

This young lady Zhen Tian looked pretty on TV, and she laughed very sweetly. Did his uncle fall in love at first sight because of the interview? It doesn't seem to be something his uncle would do.
In any case, his uncle's abnormality this time may have a lot to do with this young lady named Zhen Tian. He must find a chance to meet her. But Qingnan Lane is a famous bar street in A City. If his uncle finds out he goes to that place, he will retaliate.

Chen Yiran thought about it and decided to take the risk. He was really curious about Zhen Tian.

During dinner that evening, Chen Yiran seemed to have thought of a countermeasure. He coughed and said to Chen Zui, “Uncle, a classmate of mine is going to have a birthday party tomorrow. He invited us to go to his house for dinner.”

“What time tomorrow?”

“From the afternoon to evening.”

"Then give me the address and I will pick you up at night."

"No need." Chen Yiran quickly refused, "My classmate's father will drive us back."

Chen Zui looked at him, “Which classmate? What’s his name?”

“You don’t know him. If you don’t want me to go, I’ll tell him I won’t go.” Chen Yiran lowered his head dejectedly.

Chen Zui was silent for a while, but still agreed, "Then call me when you come back."

“Thank you, uncle!”

“Have you bought a gift for your friend?”

“Yes, it’s in my room.” Chen Yiran smiled happily as if he was celebrating his own birthday.

After dinner, he returned to his room early and checked the map to Qingnan Lane again. Here he can take a bus to Qingnan Lane, and can also take a bus back after seeing Miss Zhen Tian.

Perfect!

In addition to Chen Yiran, there is another person who noticed Zhen Tian in This Morning's Headline today––Zhou Keye.

Some people in the beer group said that today’s news will broadcast a segment on beer so Zhou Keye decided to take a look. When he heard Zhen Tian's voice, he felt that it was very similar to the voice message that Godzilla once sent in the group.

He saved the voice recording and listened to it many times, so as soon as Zhen Tian's voice sounded on the TV, he was caught off guard.

Could Godzilla in the group chat be Zhen Tian?

Human voices may be similar, but it just so happens that both of them are in the beer business.

Zhou Keye didn't believe in such a coincidence. If it was really just a coincidence, he would still like to meet this Zhen Tian on TV.

The reporter who interviewed her mentioned that her beer house is in Qingnan Lane in A City, called Tipsy Cat.

Zhou Keye went online and booked himself a ticket to A City tomorrow.
