Chapter 367 Bitterness and Sweetness

Judging from their previous experiences together, Pipa Gui’s personality should be such that he really didn’t notice that his eyeballs had fallen out of their sockets.

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and kindly reminded Pipa Ghost, "Pipa Ghost, your eyeballs have fallen out."

"Have a drink~"

The Pipa Ghost responded in a daze, and his hand subconsciously touched his face.

Did it really fall out?!
The Pipa Ghost stuffed his eyeballs back in a panic.

Then, he looked at Xiao Xiao with a guilty smile.

Seems a little embarrassed.

The smile in Xiao Xiao's eyes became more vivid.

……

Xiao Xiao picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. A warm feeling slid down his throat into his stomach, giving him a very comfortable feeling.

He looked around. It was snowing heavily and they were the only ones drinking coffee outdoors.

He suddenly thought of the waiter's slightly strange look from before.

The cold wind was blowing fiercely, carrying with it snowflakes.

Then the snowflakes, as soft as catkins, also bring out a bit of sharpness.

The umbrella above my head cannot block the snowflakes around me.

People are hurrying on the street, and the initial joy has turned into distress.

But the eyes behind the glass are still shining and bright.

This is a heavy snowfall that is perfect for enjoying while hiding indoors.

……

However, in Xiao Xiao's view, such bad weather was perfect weather for drinking coffee with Pipa Gui.

Because the falling snow blocked all views, whether accidental or prying.

The sky and the earth were hazy.

Therefore, no one would notice the strange situation in this remote corner.

……

"Pipa Ghost, do you want to try the coffee?"

Xiao Xiao raised the coffee cup and shook it gently.

This location was great; not only was it remote, but there happened to be a big tree next to it that shielded them from the fierce wind and snow.

"Have a drink~"

The Pipa Ghost looked at Xiao Xiao hesitantly, perhaps because he was worried, he did not take his hands off his face, still half covering his eyes, with a dazed look.

Xiao Xiao took a sip of coffee slowly, "It's a bit bitter, I wonder if you like it?"

The Pipa Ghost looked down at the coffee in front of him. A snowflake was blown by the wind and fell into the brown liquid, then quickly melted away.

It saw that its own eyes in the projection were bright, filled with surprise and curiosity.

Unconsciously, his hand left his cheek and slowly reached for the bone china coffee cup with a beautiful gold border on it.

The tentacles were cold, but the Pipa Ghost didn't care.

It imitated Xiao Xiao, pinched the handle and picked up the coffee cup.

With a certain degree of obvious caution.

……

The Pipa Ghost tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded slightly.

The Pipa Ghost also subconsciously responded with a shy smile.

It held the pipa in one hand and raised the coffee cup to its mouth with the other.

The aroma is rich and pleasant, even though it is a little bitter.

The Pipa Ghost's pale lips moved a few times, and finally he carefully took a sip of this familiar yet unfamiliar drink.

The smell of coffee was very familiar, but it was the first time to taste it like this.

However, the Pipa Ghost frowned, feeling very miserable.

It's not as sweet as it smells.

It tastes terrible.

……

Seeing the Pipa Ghost's wrinkled face, the face which was already pale with a hint of purple seemed even uglier. "Hehe~" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't seem to be very surprised by this result.

Hearing Xiao Xiao's laughter, the Pipa Ghost looked over with some confusion and grievance in his eyes.

"Feel sorry."

"I didn't mean to laugh at you." Xiao Xiao admitted his mistake with a good attitude. He took off the lid and pushed the candy jar over, "Eat this."

The Pipa Ghost put down the coffee cup and pushed it away with some disgust.

Seeing Pipa Gui's childish actions, Xiao Xiao wanted to laugh again.

Even though he is really old, he still acts like a child.

Just like children, they don’t like bitter taste.

Besides, the coffee that has already cooled down should become more bitter.

……

The bitterness in his mouth made Pipa Ghost frown all the time, and he looked at the things Xiao Xiao pushed over with some confusion and vigilance.

“It’s a candy bar.”

"It's sweet."

Xiao Xiao introduced with a smile.

After thinking for a while, he picked up a piece of candy and handed it to Feifei on his shoulder.

Feifei lazily raised his eyelids and swallowed the candy that was right next to his mouth in one bite.

The sweetness bursting from her mouth made Feifei squint her narrow eyes, and the silver-blue light that leaked out was cool and elegant, and very beautiful.

There was satisfaction and pleasure between Feifei's brows, and he tilted his head and rubbed Xiao Xiao's cheek.

Xiao Xiao also smiled and touched Feifei's smooth hair.

……

"Ouch~"

Taotie pulled Xiao Xiao's hair in dissatisfaction, and half of his body was about to fall off.

It also wants candy!
Looking at the black shadow in front of him, Xiao Xiao twitched his eyes, but he also took a piece of candy and fed it to the greedy monster.

"Hmm~"

Taotie slowly lay back to his original position, and the candy quickly melted in his mouth.

The rich sweetness remains in the mouth.

This gave the snowflakes that Taotie ate later a slightly sweet taste.

It tastes a lot like shaved ice.

……

Xiao Xiao was no longer surprised by monsters' sweet tooth.

You never get tired of it?

Although he doesn't hate sweets, on the contrary he likes them a bit.

However, for him, eating the candy directly like this is still a little too sweet.

……

Seeing Feifei and Taotie eating the candy with a satisfied look on their faces, Pipa Gui also put down some of his worries, reached out to take a piece of candy, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. He even leaned over to sniff it.

Only then did he take a small bite of the candy with a look of fear as if he was facing a great enemy.

Xiao Xiao kept looking at the Pipa Ghost with interest.

Seeing it carefully bite off a small piece of candy, its brows relaxed and its eyes lit up, I couldn't help but laugh in my heart. It turned out to be another sweet-loving monster.

……

The Pipa Ghost tasted the sweetness. After squinting his eyes to feel the sweetness of the candy melting in his mouth for a while, he directly threw the candy with a small hole in it into his mouth.

Mmm, so sweet.

The previous bitterness disappeared completely in an instant.

A satisfied smile appeared on the Pipa Ghost's pale, purple face.

Strands of blush spread up.

It made the Pipa Ghost's always unsatisfactory complexion look a little better.

……

The Pipa Ghost looked at Xiao Xiao, then at the sugar jar, with a face full of desire.

His hands were placed on the table, and his fingertips moved slightly.

Xiao Xiao laughed and touched the sugar jar with his hand. He watched the Pipa Ghost's eyes following his movements closely. He pulled the sugar jar towards him with some evil intentions, and then pushed it away.

The Pipa Ghost leaned forward, its eyes only on the sugar jar that was getting farther and farther away. Its arm stretched out subconsciously, but when its fingertips were about to touch the sugar jar, it turned its head to glance at Xiao Xiao.

His eyes were wide open, with an amber halo flowing around them.

Clean color, straightforward desire.
