Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 46

Too Sweet

Pei Xuezhi was stunned for a moment.

Fu Chaoyun walked toward her, her eyes still carrying a dark shade. As an Alpha, she rarely showed such an aggressive side.

The beauty in the red dress outshone all others. Behind her were countless cultural relics. As she moved, her dress swayed gracefully, like a breathtaking beauty stepping out of an ancient classical painting sealed for thousands of years.

The next second.

All that oppressive allure dissipated instantly, transforming completely into a display of grievance.

“Zhizhi~” she called out, deliberately tugging at her dress hem, “Look— your favorite red dress. Aren’t I prettier than Qin Zhenyan? You shouldn’t treat us differently.”

Fu Chaoyun had too many tricks up her sleeve.

Pei Xuezhi was almost certain that the other had discovered her tendency to yield to gentleness rather than force, and could even skillfully utilize it.

Yet…

Pei Xuezhi closed and opened her eyes, then reached for Fu Chaoyun’s hand, her dark eyes gazing deeply at her.

“Qin Zhenyan does that to cater to others’ preferences, but I don’t think—”

“You need to do the same.”

She knew that besides her fairly decent looks and somewhat clever mind, she was quite uninteresting in other aspects.

Like yesterday with Qin Zhenyan, who seemed to be chatting about everything she liked and appearing to enjoy it, but Pei Xuezhi could sense the fatigue in his demeanor.

Qin Zhenyan wasn’t someone important to her, and most of the time she just listened without needing to speak. So if he wanted to talk, let him talk—after all, she wasn’t the one getting tired.

But Fu Chaoyun? Fu Chaoyun didn’t need to do that.

“Really?!”

The Alpha’s eyes suddenly lit up, like sunshine after rain, as if nothing had happened.

“Mm.” Pei Xuezhi nodded.

“But I don’t find it boring at all,” Fu Chaoyun continued, “As long as I’m with Zhizhi, everything feels interesting…”

Pei Xuezhi looked at her; those bright eyes showed no signs of lying.

“Want to see more?” she asked.

Instantly returning to her optimistic state, Fu Chaoyun thought for a moment, “We can look for another half hour, with Zhizhi still being the guide, okay?”

“Alright.”

Places like museums were Pei Xuezhi’s forte, and she continued leading Fu Chaoyun toward the next intersection.

“The dress looks beautiful.”

“So why is Zhizhi unhappy today?”

Their voices rang out almost simultaneously, overlapping, and then their gazes met.

“Thank you,” Fu Chaoyun said first, “So, why was Zhizhi unhappy just now? Is it because of yesterday?”

Pei Xuezhi paused.

So… her seemingly jealous and unreasonable behavior earlier was actually meant to divert her attention?

【Yesterday… are you two finally going to reminisce about being together for so long?】

【Can you explain that last kiss? Or maybe you two should just do it again!!】

【I can accept lip-to-lip, and of course, if you want to use your mouths to wildly tangle tongues—that’s! Absolutely! No! Problem!】

“Don’t worry~ I was the one who embarrassed myself last night. Even when Zhizhi sang 《Little Jumping Frog》, it was very pleasant!” Fu Chaoyun explained, ultimately disappointing the audience.

Pei Xuezhi: “…Mm.”

“Oh right, when I came over, I met your former roommate. She also watches livestreams and told me about some of your preferences, but based on what I’ve learned these past few days, most of what she said was wrong… She’s not very observant, knowing even less than I do. Zhizhi shouldn’t have too much contact with her in the future.”

Pei Xuezhi knew Fu Chaoyun was referring to Ying Yao.

Later, she received a message saying Ying Yao had left in a daze. Fu Chaoyun’s current words seemed to suggest she should distance herself from Ying Yao—did she know something?

Pei Xuezhi’s gaze fell on her face, but still couldn’t detect anything unusual, so she could only say:

“I understand.”

“Zhizhi is so good,” Fu Chaoyun praised, turning her head as they reached an ancient painting, where she stopped.

“Alright, Teacher Zhizhi, start the lesson!”

She blinked her eyes, looking like the most attentive student in class.

After spending another half hour in the museum, they drove to a nearby bubble tea shop.

Fu Chaoyun ordered a sweet milk tea, while Pei Xuezhi chose lemon water. They sat down on high stools at one end of the counter.

At this hour, the shop was nearly empty, with only a few takeout orders; business wasn’t particularly busy.

“Zhizhi,” Fu Chaoyun called again, “When are your teachers leaving?”

“Around four-thirty, why?”

As they spoke, Fu Chaoyun’s milk tea arrived first. Instead of drinking it herself, she inserted a straw and pushed it toward Pei Xuezhi.

“Want to try a sip?”

Pei Xuezhi shook her head.

“Alright.” Fu Chaoyun was a bit disappointed but didn’t insist, pulling it back to take a sip herself.

She had ordered it at seventy percent sweetness, and the sweetness made her eyes squint slightly before continuing their previous conversation.

“Why don’t you send a WeChat and ask if they want bubble tea? We still have an hour and a half, it’s not busy here, we should be able to get it to them in time.”

“No—” necessary.

Before she could finish refusing, Fu Chaoyun interrupted with a smile, “Just ask~ It’s only a few drinks, doesn’t cost much. After all, I borrowed Zhizhi away, so consider it a thank-you gift for taking care of the teachers? We shouldn’t keep the good things to ourselves.”

Fu Chaoyun’s smile was too beautiful to resist, so Pei Xuezhi sent a message to one of her senior apprentice sisters.

The senior sister replied quickly: [What!! We’re already at the ‘winning over the in-laws’ stage?]

Fu Chaoyun naturally heard the message notification sound and took another sip, asking, “What would they like to drink?”

Pei Xuezhi maintained a blank expression, “Still counting.”

But her fingers were typing: [Want some or not?]

[Yes, yes, yes, absolutely! It’s just bubble tea, I can handle that!]

Finally, the bubble tea shop happily received an order for over ten people, paid for by Fu Chaoyun.

By this time, Pei Xuezhi’s lemon water had arrived. Fu Chaoyun inserted the straw for her, and after taking a sip, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

“What’s wrong, not good?”

“A bit sour.”

“Lemon water is always sour. This place probably wanted to keep it authentic, so they didn’t add much sugar… Let me try?”

As Fu Chaoyun spoke, she leaned closer. They were sitting right next to each other at the counter, their four long, fair legs dangling casually. As she leaned forward, Fu Chaoyun’s leg suddenly brushed against Pei Xuezhi’s.

Though both were clothed, the unexpected contact sent a tingling sensation through them.

At this, Pei Xuezhi hesitated briefly but ultimately didn’t move to block her.

Then, Fu Chaoyun took a gentle sip using Pei Xuezhi’s straw. She sampled it but seemed unable to discern the taste.

She lowered her head, about to drink again.

Pei Xuezhi’s lemon water was quite full, already spilling a bit when the straw was inserted. As Fu Chaoyun leaned forward, her loose hair was about to fall into it.

While she remained oblivious, Pei Xuezhi had already reached out to tuck her hair back.

“How is it?”

This time Fu Chaoyun finally tasted it properly, lifting her head to give Pei Xuezhi a beautiful smile.

“Both sour and sweet~”

Pei Xuezhi gazed at her quietly, and Fu Chaoyun corrected herself, “Alright, it is a bit sour. Why don’t you try mine?”

“…Okay.”

This time Pei Xuezhi didn’t refuse. She lowered her head and, without even reaching for it, took a sip of the milk tea Fu Chaoyun offered, using the same straw she had used.

“How is it?”

Looking up, she met Fu Chaoyun’s bright, expectant eyes. Then, the taste in her mouth spread forcefully, dominating her senses.

Pei Xuezhi looked at her, her gaze gradually deepening, “Too sweet.”

…Just like a certain someone, too sweet.
