Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

Chapter 437: Wei Zhiqian Smiled With Satisfaction

After she put on her pajamas, Tan Mo realized that not only did she not have anything to brush her teeth with, but she also had no skincare products.

She had not brushed her teeth, nor did she use a facial cleanser. She had only rinsed her face with water during her shower.

Tan Mo had been gifted with good skin.

Not using any skincare was hardly an issue for her.

Although Tan Mo did not care about stuff like that, Xu Mingzhen and her three brothers did.

Ever since Tan Mo was young, they had always bought her all sorts of facial products suitable for her age.

Whether there was anything effective or popular at the time, her three brothers would be on the lookout and would buy them for her.

Xu Mingzhen was always telling her to take good care of her skin and to always wash it properly.

Because of that, it became a habit for Tan Mo.

She may have been gifted with good skin, but her facial care routine was very thorough.

Tan Mo’s bedroom had an attached coat closet.

Originally, this was just a small study. Wei Zhiqian wanted to have this room to accommodate Tan Mo, so he changed the study into a coat closet.

However, the coat closet was empty.

Tan Mo walked in and looked at the full-length mirror.

Her pajamas were surprisingly not too oversized. They were only slightly bigger than her usual size.

It made her feel rather relaxed in them.

Tan Mo looked down and checked herself out.

Although she was in her sleepwear, there was nothing indecent about the outfit. She went out and headed toward Wei Zhiqian’s bedroom.

Knocking on a guy’s door in the middle of the night was a first for Tan Mo.

Normally, Tan Mo knocking on Wei Zhiqian’s door was not something she ever had any qualms about before. After all, he was just her uncle.

It was like knocking on any of her brothers’ doors. There was nothing to worry about.

Now, Tan Mo saw him differently.

And there was no going back from that.

Lately, when she looked at Wei Zhiqian, he felt more and more like an actual man to her.

As she stood before Wei Zhiqian’s door with her new perception of him, Tan Mo could not help but feel her heart start to race. She was so nervous that it felt like her heart might jump right out of her chest.

She stood for a while, then took a deep breath before she finally knocked on his door.

Wei Zhiqian had been waiting inside for a while now.

He heard Tan Mo’s ragged breathing outside his door and had the chance to get his emotions in check.

But all he heard was her standing there with no sound of further movement.

Wei Zhiqian almost lost his patience and had wanted to open the door right then.

Finally, he heard a knock on his door. Wei Zhiqian hurried back inside.

He opened the tap and splashed some water onto himself.

He had done the same earlier, but Tan Mo did not knock for a long time, and the water on Wei Zhiqian’s body had dried from the waiting.

Wei Zhiqian pondered for a moment and splashed some water onto his hair too. Then, he looked in the mirror.

He saw the water droplets falling from the tips of his hair down to his shoulders and chest.

Wei Zhiqian smiled with satisfaction. He took a white towel from the rack and placed it on his head.

Looking at the mirror again, he adjusted the position of the towel to show half of his dark hair, which made him look very casual.

Then, he went back to the door.

He counted Tan Mo’s knocking on the door.

When Tan Mo knocked, she always liked doing four rapid knocks and stopping for a few seconds before knocking four times again.

When Wei Zhiqian heard the second knock, he quickly opened the door.

Tan Mo’s hand was about to do the third knock when the door opened, so she had no time to react and her fist landed on Wei Zhiqian’s chest.

Fortunately, Tan Mo saw the door open and quickly tried to stop herself.

But she was not able to stop the falling momentum of her fist.

Her punch landed softly on Wei Zhiqian’s chest.

To her surprise, Wei Zhiqian was not wearing any clothes.

No, wait, he just did not have a shirt on.

He only wore a pair of pajama pants, which hung loosely, barely clinging to his hips.

A small half of his Adonis belt that formed a V-shaped muscular groove was exposed.

The ends of those two lines on each side of his hips were buried underneath his pants. It made her want to see where those lines would eventually lead.

Tan Mo did not have the guts to let her eyes hover, but she could feel the sensation of her fist landing on Wei Zhiqian’s chest, which was extremely hot and taut.

As if she had been scalded, Tan Mo quickly tucked her hand back and awkwardly hid it behind her back.

She wrapped her left hand around her right. The part where her right hand had touched his chest was still burning hot. She could still feel the firm and taut sensation of his chest tingling on her hand.

She never knew how perfect his abs looked until now.

Just by looking at those defined lines, she could tell they were very strong.

Tan Mo could not help but start to think.

‘I really, really want to run my fingers across them.’

The sight of it seemed pleasant to touch.

What was worse, his chest and abs had tiny droplets of water on them.

His hair was partially dry with a white towel placed on top. Water droplets hung from the tips of his hair, dangling for dear life, not knowing when or if they would drip on down.

A droplet suddenly fell and rolled from his chest all the way down to his abs and disappeared as it slid further down his Adonis belt.

Tan Mo was lost in a daze.

Wiping his hair, unaware of what had just happened, Wei Zhiqian asked, “What’s up?”

Tan Mo felt like she had suddenly lost her voice. With her eyes wide open, nothing came out of her mouth.

“Momo?” Wei Zhiqian’s crisp voice sounded awfully distant.

After he called her a few times, Tan Mo suddenly snapped back to reality.

She was startled to see Wei Zhiqian had lowered his head.

His face was merely inches away from hers.

Tan Mo felt like if she moved ever so slightly, her nose would touch his lips.

With Wei Zhiqian so close to her, she could smell the shampoo in his hair and the faint scent of men’s facial wash all mixed together.

She could smell the pleasant scent of body wash coming from his skin, almost as if there was a wave of heat surging through her while she kept breathing in the pleasant aroma through her nose.

“Momo?” Wei Zhiqian called out to her again. He lifted his hand and gently tapped her face with his fingertip. “What’s with the sudden daydream?”

Tan Mo opened her mouth. It took her a moment to finally find her voice. “I don’t have anything to brush my teeth with.”

When she heard her voice, Tan Mo was stupefied.

Why did her voice sound so raspy?

The raspiness of her voice sounded almost flirtatious.

Was that really her voice?

Startled by herself, Tan Mo quickly cleared her throat a few times.

Wei Zhiqian stood up straight and said, “Ah, my bad. I forgot to give it to you earlier.”

Wei Zhiqian walked out of his bedroom.

Tan Mo swiftly followed behind him.

To her surprise, Wei Zhiqian walked into her bedroom.

Then, he entered her bathroom.

The bathroom was still warm and steamy.

Amidst the sticky humid air was the lingering aroma from Tan Mo’s hot shower. It smelled exactly like the scent he had picked up from her body earlier.

The shampoo and body wash in here were all bought by him.

When he was choosing what to buy, he could not help but imagine the scent that would be on Tan Mo’s body while she was using them.

Breathing in the air now, it smelled nice.

It was sweet and warm.

It was rather befitting of Tan Mo, who was gentle and soft, which made him want to hold her in his arms.

Tan Mo watched as Wei Zhiqian lifted his hand to the mirror above the sink and pressed gently on the edge of the mirror.

She heard a click, and the mirror popped out.

It was only then Tan Mo discovered that the mirror was attached to a cabinet door.

The reason why Tan Mo had not noticed it earlier was that the cabinet door was embedded into the wall.
