28 My Happy Pill

Matthew was sent out by Tristan early this morning to buy another set of clothes for her and some women's necessities like soap, shampoo, lotion, perfumes, makeup, and other toiletries.

Tristan brushed his teeth together with her, teaching her how to do it by herself. Zhen-Zhen mimicked his movement. He was amazed by her enthusiasm to learn.

After that, Tristan left Zhen-Zhen inside the bathroom. He gave her the privacy to take a bath by herself. While he was waiting for her, he packed his things since they were going back to Empire City today.

He needed to attend their family dinner tonight or else his grandfather would disown him as his grandson. But this time, he didn't plan to bring Zhen-Zhen.

This was not yet the right time for her to meet his family. She still needed to learn more about this world. Tristan had one month to train her and become a normal human being or rather to act like a normal person.

Tristan believed that Zhen-Zhen could do it after a month. She was a fast learner and a good listener. She followed everything that Tristan was telling her. This was what Tristan truly wanted… her complete obedience to him.

Tristan just finished packing when he heard Zhen-Zhen's scream coming from the bathroom.

"What's wrong with her?" Tristan mumbled before dashing towards the bathroom.

Fortunately, Zhen-Zhen didn't lock the door. Tristan entered the bathroom in a hurry, ripping back the shower curtain to see her.

"Zhen-Zhen! what happened?" he asked her worriedly. The exasperation was clear in his voice.

His concerned eyes flashed down her naked body before moving to her face. Zhen-Zhen's body was covered with soap and bubbles.

"Tristan! My eyes… I can't see... It hurts." Zhen-Zhen said half crying and half whining.

Tristan saw her rubbing her eyes using both hands. He stood there, eyeing her with disbelief. He thought something bad happened to her. He was really nervous. His heart was racing so fast when he barged inside the bathroom.

After a while, a loud husky laugh reverberated inside the bathroom. Tristan was laughing hard while holding his stomach. He couldn't imagine that a demon god's daughter who was so powerful would hurt her eyes just because of shampoo.

"Tristan… my eyes. H-Help me, please." Zhen-Zhen said pleadingly to him.

Upon hearing her desperate voice, Tristan stopped laughing as he slowly approached her.

Shaking his head, Tristan removed her hands which were rubbing her eyes. They were not helping since her hands were also covered by soap. He was the one who washed her eyes in the shower.

"How is it? Do you feel better now?" Tristan asked her.

"Alright! Finish up already. Then we will eat breakfast after you are done here." Tristan said before turning to leave the bathroom.

Zhen-Zhen could still hear his laughter after getting out of the bathroom. Tristan continued laughing outside.

'Why is he laughing?' She asked herself, feeling clueless.

**********

After having their breakfast, The three of them checked out in the resort. Soon, they traveled back to Empire City. It was an eight-hour-long drive.

They reached Tristan's Condo Unit at around 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon. The dinner would happen at around 7:00 pm. Tristan still had time to prepare.

"Matt, can you accompany Lillie here for the meantime while I'm gone?"

Tristan was worried about Zhen-Zhen if she was left alone in his Condo Unit.

"Alright… but how about you? Are you okay going there alone?" Matthew was aware that Tristan could not stand seeing Hannah and Andrew together.

"Yeah! I'll be fine. It is just a family dinner. What are you worrying about?" Tristan said nonchalantly, feigning ignorance. He knew what Matthew was thinking.

"Okay. Since you said so." Matthew shrugged his shoulder.

Tristan squinted at his friend but didn't say anything. He didn't want to argue since he was the one on the losing side.

After a while, Tristan changed into his suit. It was not an ordinary family dinner. It was a tradition twice a month that Davis Family and their close family friends would gather together.

Everyone would dress up, wearing suits and dresses as if they were attending some kind of party. This family gathering would always be held in the Davis' Big Family Mansion.

Before leaving, Tristan bade Zhen-Zhen goodbye. He also wanted to give her some reminders of what to do and not to do while he was not around.

"Tristan… you look so cool," Zhen-Zhen said, praising him. He could see the sincere admiration in her clear blue eyes.

He couldn't help but feel flattered. This was not the first time that a woman praised his look and appearance but when it came from Zhen-Zhen, it felt different. It was genuine and meaningful.

"Thank you, Lillie. Am I handsome?" Tristan asked her with a cheeky smile.

Zhen-Zhen nodded in agreement. "Yes, you are. So handsome just like my Fa-Fa."

Tristan didn't know whether to feel glad or feel bad about it. Zhen-Zhen just compared him to her father who was the demon god.

'Hmm. I think it's not bad. Zhen-Zhen is very gorgeous and beautiful. She inherited her father's beauty. So I guess the demon god looks so handsome just like me.'

"How about Matthew and I? Who is more handsome between us?" Tristan asked her again.

Matthew who overheard what he had said to Zhen-Zhen just shot Tristan a cold glare.

Zhen-Zhen paused for a moment, bringing her fingers to her lips once again. It was her habit while thinking.

Tristan raised his brows when he saw Zhen-Zhen was still thinking.

'Is that question very hard to answer?! Of course, I am more handsome! Zhen-Zhen, I will be your husband! Don't betray me!' Tristan thought to himself while waiting for her response.

After a few seconds, Zhen-Zhen flashed her signature charming smile before giving him her answer. But instead of saying a word, she just pointed her forefinger toward Tristan's direction.

"Yes! I knew it! Haha," Tristan punched the air after getting her answer, rejoicing.

He felt troubled because of this family dinner but after talking to Zhen-Zhen, Tristan felt much better now.

'Zhen-Zhen, it seems like you are my happy pill.'
