“Help me shave.” Snakel handed a razor in all seriousness to Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng took the razor with a confused expression. She had never handled such an item in her entire life. It looked rather sharp. What if she cut him… how much would she have to compensate him?
“Unwilling?” Snakel gazed at her coolly with lowered lids.
Gu Mengmeng could almost sense that he was going to bring out that page seven, paragraph nine, line four clause again…
“No, no. It’s just that you are too tall. I can’t reach.” Gu Mengmeng made a quick calculation. Actually, she could reach him, but only if she put in some effort.
Snakel wrapped his large hands around Gu Mengmeng’s waist and lifted her up onto the sink counter.
Snakel placed his strong, lean waist between Gu Mengmeng’s two legs and leaned forward. “There, this height is just right.”
Gu Mengmeng instinctively pushed Snakel away. “No, no, no. Senior, don’t lean in so close to me.”
Snakel chuckled, as if he didn’t understand Gu Mengmeng’s shyness. “How will you shave me if I don’t lean in closer?”
Gu Mengmeng was so flustered that her breathing had become uneven. She said in a small voice. “Well… senior, I don’t really know how to use a razor. Why don’t…”
“Shall I teach you? Mmm?” Snakel wrapped Gu Mengmeng’s little hand in his, and maneuvered the razor over his face. The white foam was neatly shaved away, revealing a wickedly seductive face just inches away from Gu Mengmeng’s eyes.
“Is this your first time helping a man shave?” Snakel asked even though he knew the answer.
Gu Mengmeng nodded with a red face.
“Good girl.” Snakel pecked her on the forehead. He then moved back and thew the razor into the sink. After washing his face, he pulled Gu Mengmeng’s hand over and poured toner into it. He then stuck out his face and peered at Gu Mengmeng from squinted eyes.
Gu Mengmeng’s blushed deepened.
She knew he was asking her to help him put toner on his face. But why did he look like he was asking for a kiss?!
Clearing her throat, Gu Mengmeng instinctively moved backwards before patting the toner evenly across his face. Her movements were slow and gentle. She could feel the warmth of his skin against her palm from every pat.
Heart racing, Gu Mengmeng felt that her heart would leap out of her throat if she just parted her lips.
Meanwhile, Snakel just maintained a mild smile throughout. After the toner, she also had to apply facial essence and facial cream for him. Some time later, he finally lifted Gu Mengmeng off the sink counter and led her by the hand outside.
“Eh, where are we going again?” Gu Mengmeng followed clumsily behind Snakel.
Snakel chuckled. “We are going to shop for some clothes for you.”
Gu Mengmeng said, “No need. I don’t lack for any clothing.”
Snakel halted and turned back. He lifted Gu Mengmeng’s chin and looked down at her. “You lack the clothes I am buying for you.”
Gu Mengmeng pressed down on her own heart with her one free hand. Damn! What a cliché line!
Snakel was amused by Gu Mengmeng’s small action. He enjoyed every moment that her heart jumped for him.
Without another word, he shoved Gu Mengmeng into his sports car. When the car finally came to a stop, it was outside S City’s most exclusive shopping mall. It had already been cleared of the crowds half an hour ago, as the most senior executives all stood neatly by the door to welcome Snakel’s arrival.
