"Huh?"
Ke Xin's eyes widened, and her entire face instantly flushed red.
"Fei Ge, what are you talking about..."
Lu Fei was slightly taken aback and quickly explained, "Uh... I don't want to watch you bathe, I want to see the changes after you bathe."
Ke Xin looked bewildered. Was there a difference?
Lu Fei sighed. The more he explained, the more confused it became. He then took out the shower gel and handed it to Ke Xin.
"This is something I recently invented, called shower gel."
Ke Xin picked up the plastic bottle, opened it, and inhaled. A fresh fragrance wafted towards her.
"It smells so good!" She tilted her head, confused. "What is this shower gel for?"
Lu Fei smiled mysteriously.
"Simply put, it can replace bathing soap and is used for bathing." He paused, then added, "Of course, you can also wash your hair and face with it."
Ke Xin's eyes were confused. She didn't understand why Lu Fei would research such a thing. Wasn't bathing soap enough? Why invent something with the same function as bathing soap?
But she also understood what Lu Fei meant by wanting to watch her bathe.
"Fei Ge, do you want me to try this thing?"
Lu Fei nodded.
"I hope you can provide more suggestions so I can improve it further."
Ke Xin quickly followed up, asking, "Am I the first person to try this?"
Lu Fei was slightly taken aback and nodded affirmatively.
This simple action made Ke Xin incredibly happy.
Fei Ge thought of me first! Ke Xin was overjoyed.
Then, she quickly ran back into the room with the shower gel.
"Fei Ge, you sit in the living room for a while. I'll go try it now!"
"Alright!"
Seeing her agree, Lu Fei was also beaming with joy.
It was almost time to witness a miracle!
Drip, drip, drip, time passed second by second...
Lu Fei propped his chin with one hand, yawning continuously.
Is this the speed of women taking a bath... Lu Fei couldn't help but sigh.
In a blink of an eye, an hour passed...
A clear sound of footsteps echoed from upstairs...
Lu Fei's spirits instantly lifted. He looked towards the stairs.
He saw a pair of delicate feet slowly appearing in his vision, followed by the emergence of the girl's figure, like a lotus emerging from water.
The girl was wearing a snow-white pajama set. Her skin was as smooth as jade, and her hair cascaded naturally over her shoulders, still damp with water, adding to the purity and loveliness of her already exquisite and pure face.
Ke Xin walked towards Lu Fei with bare feet.
What a graceful scene!
Ke Xin lowered her head, a little shy.
"Fei Ge..."
A woman's beauty is for the one who pleases her. Ke Xin was eager to hear Lu Fei praise her.
However, the direct man impatiently asked:
"Xinxin! Is the shower gel good to use?"
Ke Xin was stunned for a moment, a hint of disappointment in her eyes, but she quickly recovered.
"Yes, Fei Ge! Your shower gel is amazing. Not only does it smell good, but..." Ke Xin lowered her voice, saying a little shyly, "The dirt and sweat on my body feel completely washed away!"
She extended an arm and generously said, "Touch it! It's so smooth!"
Lu Fei subconsciously dodged, shrinking back.
He smiled awkwardly, "No need to touch, but your approval is enough!"
"Then do you think there's anything else that needs improvement?"
Ke Xin pondered for a moment.
"I think there could be more flavors. For example, I like strawberry flavor, and lavender is also good!"
Lu Fei nodded slightly. This was something he had already anticipated. The current sample bottle of shower gel had a single fragrance, but he planned to develop more varieties later.
"Fei Ge, your current fragrance is from the [Sweet Sweet Flower], right?"
Ke Xin found the scent in the shower gel somewhat familiar and asked tentatively.
Lu Fei recalled that he had bought the fragrance ingredients ready-made from the mall and hadn't paid much attention to their source. But with Ke Xin's reminder, he remembered.
"Yes, I think so."
Ke Xin said, "Oh, my family cultivates a large flowerbed of [Sweet Sweet Flowers]. If you need it, I can take you to extract essence of any fragrance you like!"
Lu Fei's eyes lit up. What a stroke of luck.
But then he realized something and asked:
"Won't your parents object?"
"Of course not. This flowerbed was their birthday gift to me!"
As expected of a little rich girl... Lu Fei suddenly understood.
This way, the problem of raw materials was solved. Of course, he wouldn't take advantage of Ke Xin. He would consider it as her investing with capital, and he would share the profits with her when there was a harvest!
Lu Fei looked around. The spacious villa was empty. Besides two maids tidying up the rooms, he hadn't seen any other owners of the house yet.
"By the way, where are your parents? Why are you home alone?"
"They've gone to Tianhang City on business. They might not be back for a few more days."
Tianhang City... Lu Fei murmured the place name.
He had heard that it was a place that all Beast Masters flocked to. He knew he would eventually have to leave Cang Town, this small place, and head to the big city to find more answers about his transmigration.
That was also where Chu Huainan lived. He could even visit his nominal elder brother then.
He hoped that by the time that day came, he would possess strength that could make others take notice.
Big city... As the thought flashed through his mind, a question arose in Lu Fei's heart.
"Then why did you come to Cang Town? Tianhang City is a big city, and it should be much better than Cang Town in terms of education and other aspects!"
Upon hearing this question, Ke Xin's expression immediately dimmed.
She sighed, and a rare hint of sadness appeared on the young girl's face.
"My parents and I had no choice but to come here."
Just as Lu Fei was about to ask further, he heard Ke Xin force a smile, "But it's also very good here. I'm happy every day."
She paused, then grinned as if joking, but also as if speaking her heart, "And I got to meet Fei Ge!"
Lu Fei was slightly stunned. He felt that the young girl was simple-minded, which warmed his heart. It was a feeling like bathing in a spring breeze.
He gently stroked the girl's hair and slowly got up.
"Alright, I should be going back."
"By the way, that flowerbed you mentioned is yours to use, as agreed."
Ke Xin nodded repeatedly.
"As long as Fei Ge likes it, I can even lease a few more plots of land for you!"
Lu Fei twitched the corner of his mouth, recalling a line from a TV show: "I'm going to contract this pond and give it to you!"
"Cough cough... I'm leaving."
"I'll escort you to the door!" Ke Xin stuck out her tongue and followed him.
As the two of them reached the entrance.
At that moment, a blue and black car drove towards them.
Lu Fei keenly noticed the large characters written on the car body.
"Wenmin City Beast Master Court"!
His heart immediately tensed, but he quickly relaxed. What was meant to come would eventually come.
A moment later, a man and a woman alighted from the car.
They were wearing black uniforms.
The young man looked at Lu Fei and the girl at the door and asked in a cold voice:
"We are enforcement officers from the Wenmin City Beast Master Court. May we ask if Ke Xin lives here?"
