The Buggiest System

200 - Climax

The four seated on the table blissfully drank their respective coffees.

Well, not really...

Fan Xinyue had an impassive expression as she lifted the cup and sipped the coffee inside. As a regular, she was used to this particular flavor, especially since she ordered it the most in the summer season.

Even though she appeared apathetic about this drink, she was definitely enjoying it inside... probably.

Beside her, Lin Guiying struggled to continue drinking. That was because once her tongue came into contact with the piping hot coffee, not only did she get burnt, she also found out one important fact about this flavor - it was written on her blacklist.

She didn't forget about the possibility that her taste palette would be different from hers, but she didn't take into account what would happen if she had completely opposite tastes to her.

Lin Guiying thought that at most, she would find the flavor that Fan Xinyue ordered to be just "OK". Never did she expect it to be "Yuck, this is disgusting" tier!

At this moment, she was contemplating her life...

On the other side of the table, there was Zhou Lei, who had a wry smile on his face.

He, too, didn't like the taste of the coffee that much, but it wasn't really that detail that made him slightly uncomfortable. After all, even though the flavor wasn't his type, he could still bear to drink it properly, unlike a certain girl...

The detail that really got him dreading the atmosphere was the fact that another certain someone was staring at him directly.

Ma Xiaoli had her eyes set on Zhou Lei, never having moved since five minutes ago, when the group received their orders.

This was reasonable. After all, she already stated her reason for her presence - Zhou Lei, or in her terms, Leilei. What else could she be doing if not staring directly at his face, which may or may not have hypnotized her during their first encounter?

The endless abyss present in his eyes was enough to keep Ma Xiaoli busy for weeks on end...

Zhou Lei felt the urge to stand up and go home. His feet were itching to move, but he was trapped as Ma Xiaoli blocked the way off. Anyway, he couldn't just leave Lin Hanying alone...

In the end, he made the decision to speak frankly. He removed the cup off his mouth and put it down the table. "Ying. I... don't like this flavor."

The two in front of him raised their heads, one sympathizing with his situation inwardly and one confused as to why he couldn't bring himself to like the flavor.

However, the moment of seriousness was ruined by a laugh coming from the side... It was Ma Xiaoli.

"Pfft! Hahaha!" Ma Xiaoli never felt more amused in her life.

Zhou Lei felt self-conscious seeing the boisterous laughter of the girl beside him. Little did he know that there was foam left under his nose... forming quite a cute mustache.

Lin Guiying noticed this too, but it wasn't like it was that funny. She giggled a little bit inside, but that was it.

Fan Xinyue felt the same way as her. The two girls glanced at each other before turning back to the laughing Ma Xiaoli.

No one knew why Ma Xiaoli found such a simple foam mustache hilarious. Even she herself didn't know the exact reason.

The truth was, she shared the same opinion as the two girls in front of her. Yet, she couldn't stop the laughter from coming out of her mouth.
