Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 29


Girl you like? Zhen Tian sneaked a glance at Chen Zui who was walking beside her. Chen Zui noticed her gaze, and turned his head to her, "What's wrong?"

“Nothing.” Zhen Tian looked away and couldn’t help but laugh, “So you liked me in high school?”

Chen Zui didn’t deny it, “Why else would I fight so many people for you?”

“They initially bothered me because they misunderstood I was your girlfriend.”

When Chen Zui heard this, he smiled, “Looking at it now, it seems they didn’t misunderstand?”

Zhen Tian’s ears reddened when she heard this. She had always thought she was a thick-skinned person but when she was with Chen Zui, she would become shy.

Looking at her pink ears, Chen Zui couldn’t help but feel happy. He naturally held her hand and asked, ‘Where do you want to eat?”

Chen Zui’s hand gave her a shock that went up to her heart, “Anywhere is fine.”

Chen Zui thought for a while and asked, “Are you hungry?”

If they didn’t have to deal with Chen Yiran’s situation, they would’ve already eaten lunch by now. After being interrupted, it is already one o’clock.

Zhen Tian shook her head, “Fortunately, I ate a bit before heading out.”

“That’s good.” Chen Zui slightly tightened his hold on her hand and looked at her, “Why don’t we go to my house to eat. I will cook.”

“Huh?” Zhen Tian was surprised. She didn’t expect to go to her boyfriend’s house on the first day of their relationship.

"After eating, we can hang out at home. In fact, I prefer dating at home than going out."

Zhen Tian’s face turned even redder. Hanging out in her boyfriend’s house? She didn’t expect him to be this type of person!

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Zui knew that Zhen Tian was embarrassed, but he deliberately teased her, "Why is your face so red all of a sudden? Are you uncomfortable?"

Seeing Chen Zui’s hand moving closer to her head, Zhen Tian quickly moved to avoid, "It's nothing, but what are we going to do at your house?"

Chen Zui raised the corners of his mouth and leaned closer to her. His ambiguous and airy voice rang softly beside her ear, "Of course, it's... watching a movie."

“....” Oh

But, it is okay to say this normally. There is no need to move so close.

Zhen Tian didn't say a word, but Chen Zui could read her thoughts through her expression. The two walked out of the school holding hands and stood in front of their car parked at the school gate.

Chen Zui frowned slightly, and thought for a while, “We can go together in my car. I will call a substitute driver for your car and drive it to my house."

"Okay." Zhen Tian had no objection to this, "But are we really going to your house?"

Chen Zui raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Are you afraid of what I will do to you?"

“I’m not scared.” Zhen Tian’s expression really doesn’t look afraid, “You got up for work at three o'clock in the morning, right? It's already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and you still have to drive and cook for me. Forget it, you have been working for more than twelve hours straight. Do you have energy for anything else?"

And waking up to work in the middle of the night will be more tiring than waking up in the morning.

“Who knows.” Chen Zui looked at her and slightly smiled.

“Hm….” Hearing him say this, Zhen Tian seriously thought about it, “Why don’t we eat outside. I feel a bit hungry.”

“I’m messing with you.” Chen Zui rubbed her head and took out his phone, “I’ll call the driver.”

After the substitute driver arrived, he learned that it wasn’t because the client was drinking and couldn’t drive. It was because the couple didn’t want to drive separately and had someone drive the other car.

It does make people feel bitter.

Chen Zui’s home is near City First Primary and if there is no traffic, it would take around ten minutes to drive there. The substitute driver drove Zhen Tian’s car and followed him all the way there. When he arrived outside the community, the substitute driver parked the car and returned the keys to Zhen Tian.

When Zhen Tian got the keys, Chen Zui didn’t drive into the underground parking garage of his community and instead drove a little bit further, “There is a small food shop up ahead that’s not bad. Let's buy something to take home for lunch.”

Zhen Tian let out a “huh,” “Didn’t you say you will cook?”

"It's okay to cook, but didn't you say you're hungry? Let's get the ready-made ones first, and I'll cook for you next time."

“Okay.” Zhen Tian pursed her lips and smiled.

Chen Zui looked at her and smiled, “Are you not afraid of what I will do to you now?”

Zhen Tian straightened her back and raised her chin, “I was never afraid to begin with.”

Chen Zui chuckled, “Really?”

When he asked such a question, Zhen Tian was a little timid again.

Chen Zui drove the car to the shop. Instead of getting out, he lowered the windows and ordered their signature dishes, “Let’s make the rice at home. The rice at the store is a bit hard.”

“Ok.” Zhen Tian nodded. Anyway, cooking rice is pretty fast.

Because the peak lunch hour had passed, the food was made quickly. The employee packed it in a to-go box and handed it to him through the window.

Zhen Tian reached out to grab the box. The employee took the opportunity to look at her more. Anchor Chen is very famous in their area. Of course, now that he is out there, he has become the husband of many star-chasing girls.

“Did you see her? How does she look?” After delivering the food, her other colleagues surrounded her to gossip about the girl in the passenger seat of Anchor Chen’s car.

“She is a beauty, a perfect match for Anchor Chen!”

The shop employees were discussing this little beauty enthusiastically, but Zhen Tian naturally didn't hear them. Chen Zui parked the car in his parking garage, took the lunch box in her hand, and entered the elevator together.

"Your environment here is not bad." Zhen Tian seemed to find a topic to talk about to avoid silence in the elevator that only had the two of them.

“The main reason I chose this place is for Chen Yiran’s studies. I think it’s a little troublesome.”

Zhen Tian smiled, “It’s near the city center so it’s pretty good.”

The place where the business is concentrated is still a distance away from this community. Even at night, it will not be too noisy.

“En. If I want to move in the future, I still want to change to a quieter place.”

“Are you afraid it will affect Chen Yiran’s studies?”

“No, it’s because I can’t sleep well.” Just as he finished speaking, the elevator stopped. “We’re here.”

“Ok.” Zhen Tian followed Chen Zui out of the elevator. There are two units on each floor so right after you get off the elevator, it will be the unit door.

Chen Zui opened the door, put the to-go box on the console table by the entrance, and found a pair of slippers for Zhen Tian. "You can wear mine, these are new, although they are a bit big."

“It doesn’t matter.” Zhen Tian changed her shoes and looked around the house curiously.

A single man with a child, it sounds like their home will be chaotic. But Chen Zui's house is not like this. Although it can't be called well-organized, it is still clean and tidy.

"The cleaning people will come once a month to do the cleaning. Usually, Chen Yiran and I will do a little cleaning once a week." Chen Zui put the meal on the table, and brought out two empty bowls and two pairs of chopsticks, "If you are hungry let’s eat the food we bought first. I'll cook the rice, and it will be ready soon. Chen Yiran's beverages are in the refrigerator, if you want a drink."

"Okay." Zhen Tian opened the refrigerator and saw that besides Chen Yiran's drinks, there was also the beer that she had given Chen Zui before.

“Oh?” She picked up the bottle, only to find that it was empty, "You finished it?"

“En.”

“Why is the empty bottle still in the fridge?” Zhen Tian poured some juice into a cup and glanced at him.

Chen Zui put the bowl of rice and water in the rice cooker and turned it on. Then he looked back at her, “Because I can’t bear to throw it away.”

“.....” Zhen Tian quietly took a sip of juice.

She suspected that he was deliberately teasing her but she couldn’t prove it.

"Go and sit for a while. If you don't want to sit, you can look around my room." Chen Zui looked at her with a smile.

Zhen Tian suppressed her pounding heart, and forced herself to walk calmly into the living room, "Let's eat while we wait for the rice to be ready."

"Okay." Chen Zui went out with Zhen Tian. He didn't sit across from Zhen Tian, ​​but sat next to her, "Don't you like mapo tofu? The taste of this restaurant is also good, try it .”

“Okay.” Zhen Tian put down the glass in her hand to try the tofu.

Chen Zui's eyes fell on the glass on the table. The rim of the glass, where Zhen Tian just dran from, left a light red lipstick mark.

This lipstick stain gently tickled Chen Zui's heart, like a kitten scratching at it. Chen Zui recalled the kiss he had with Zhen Tian in the car before, and the scratch in his heart seemed to become stronger.

"Senior, what's wrong with you?" Sensing Chen Zui's absentmindedness, Zhen Tian stopped her chopsticks and looked at him.

Chen Zui withdrew his gaze, raised his right hand, and gently stroked the side of her face, "It's nothing, I suddenly want to kiss you."

“....” She is at a loss for what to do!

"Can I?" Chen Zui's voice was very soft as if he was asking for permission, but also as if he was teasing her. This made Zhen Tian's heart feel numb. Naturally, she doesn't dislike Chen Zui's kiss, but it's too shameful for her to say it directly!

Fortunately, Chen Zui didn't seem to really want her to answer. If she didn't speak, he could take it as her consent. His fingers stroked her smooth cheeks, and he slowly moved closer to press a kiss on her lips.

Unlike last time, he didn’t let go of her immediately. He repeatedly planted gentle kisses on her lips and wrapped his arms around her waist to bring her closer.

Zhen Tian often saw people kissing in Qingnan Lane but it is far less exciting than actually being kissed.

Especially since her partner is Chen Zui.

She could clearly feel Chen Zui's lips moving over hers. His movements were very gentle, even biting her, it was with cherish and love.

For the first time, she knew that kissing was such a comfortable thing.

"Do you still want to continue?" Chen Zui asked hoarsely, pressing against her lips. Zhen Tian's heart was beating fast, and she felt that she couldn't bear too much excitement for the time being, so she answered, "Why don't we leave it at that today?"

Chen Zui let out a low laugh, bit her lips lightly, and put a little distance between them, "Well, that's good, otherwise I can't guarantee that I won't hurt you if it continues."

“...” She felt that he was doing something naughty and she would have proof soon!
