The Perfumer Who Wears the Book

Shen Jiarui was delayed in the bathroom for a long time, and when he finally got out of the shower, Su Xu had already adjusted his mood, and naturally asked Shen Jiarui to play with the computer for a while and take a bath by himself.

In the room, there was still a faint musky smell in the air, Su Xu hypnotized that he didn't smell anything at all, took his clothes and went into the bathroom.Shen Jiarui turned on the ventilation fan, and the moisture in the bathroom had been sucked out long ago, so for ordinary people, there should be no smell in the bathroom.However, Su Xu is not a normal person, so when he stepped into the bathroom, the strong smell of body fluids was like a group of strong and handsome naked men rushing towards him, wrapping him tightly in their arms, trying to wrap him into the trap of lust.

Su Xu was caught off guard by the smell hidden behind the door, and immediately staggered back two steps to escape from the bathroom.His actions attracted Shen Jiarui's attention, and Shen Jiarui poked his head out from the study: "Dad?"

Su Xu's face turned blue, then red, then pale, and finally he laughed dryly, pursed his lips, rushed into the bathroom and locked the door without saying a word.

He jumped into this trap like a self-sacrificing prey, and the naked men in the trap rushed over with cheers, and countless hands touched his body, teasing his nerves.

"The formula for olives is castoreum and benzyl salicylate, and the formula for grapefruit is sweet orange essence and pepper ether..." Su Xu muttered, while taking off his clothes and turning on the shower, trying to get his mind out of these things Stripped out of the bewitching hormonal flavor.

Yet the body turned against his will.He has been abstinent for a long time, and he can't help a little teasing, especially at this moment, it's not the stimulation of language and vision, or the feeling brought by skin touch.It's the smell, it's in the air.You can cover your ears, you can close your eyes, you can refuse the hand that touches you, but you can't stop breathing.

In the bathroom, water vapor gradually filled every corner, and the air became humid and heavy, which made Su Xu's dizzy brain even more dizzy.His sanity disappeared, leaving only the desire to break free from the cage.He roughly wiped his face, flicked aside the drops of water that had captivated his eyes, and stretched his hands down.

Su Xu didn't know that the door he locked in a hurry was gently opened from the outside with a key.Outside the bathroom, Shen Jiarui stood silently behind the crack of the door, listening intently to Su Xu's heavy breathing.He heard his stepfather's panting sound getting heavier and more unsteady, with a vague moan in his breathing.He felt more and more excited.

Sudden--

"Your uncle!"

The gasp turned suddenly into a thunderous curse.Shen Jiarui was shocked and almost hit the door and fell.His heart was beating extremely fast, and all the blood vessels in his body were about to burst due to the sudden rise of high pressure.

It's over, I've been found out.For a moment, Shen Jiarui's heart was filled with despair, he was holding the doorknob tightly, his whole body was shaking, his brain was spinning rapidly trying to find a suitable excuse.

"Shut up! Let's talk later! Get the hell out!"

There was another shout, but Shen Jiarui suddenly calmed down.Because he realized that this sentence was not addressed to himself.

Is dad on the phone?Shen Jiarui looked back at the mobile phone placed on the table in the living room, and ruled out this idea.

Talk to yourself?Shen Jiarui frowned.But this kind of content does not sound like a person talking to himself.

"If you don't get lost, I will take you to the veterinary hospital and eunuch you when I come out!"

There was another curse, but the voice was not as angry as before. It sounded more like being made an inappropriate joke by a friend, and after being extremely angry, he was helplessly relieved.

This is a conversation.Shen Jiarui made a judgment.But where is the other side of the conversation?He listened carefully for a while, but Su Xu was not talking, and there was only the sound of water flowing in the bathroom.

Shen Jiarui narrowed his eyes, he gently closed the bathroom door, tiptoed back to the study and sat down in front of the computer, he did not continue to look at the computer screen, but looked thoughtfully at the sky outside the window.There have always been many unreasonable things happening to Su Xu. For example, the perfume that Su Xu sold at the street stall back then, he could not figure out where it came from. Su Xu did buy some spices and essences at the time, but he could tell , The consumption rate of these spices and essences is far less than the sales rate of perfumes.

But what Shen Jiarui lacks most is patience, as long as Su Xu doesn't leave him, he can always dig out the secrets in him.

And in the bathroom, 5 minutes ago, when Su Xu accidentally touched his erect lower body, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his head.

"Ah Xu, what, when shall we... Ahhh! I was wrong, I was wrong, you continue, you continue!!!"

"Your uncle!" It was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head and face. No matter how confused he was just now, Su Xu now only had cold embarrassment and overwhelming anger.

"I didn't do it on purpose, I swear!" Ed explained in a panic, speaking so fast that it felt like he was about to bite his tongue, "I've been watching TV series just now, and I just watched the first episode of "The Story of Ying Niang" After watching episode 105, I want to ask you, since you quit the tourism activities, can we spend more time on completing tasks? What, there is only a little left over from the last recipe, and I can come out after I finish it ..."

"Shut up!" Su Xu gritted his teeth, "Let's talk later! Get the hell out!"

After turning off the switch of the shower heavily, Su Xu took a deep breath, and his body had already returned to calm when Ed made his voice.With a stern face, he picked up the bath ball, squeezed out the shower gel, and started to take a bath without saying a word.

Ed was a little flustered. He really wanted to talk to Su Xu about something, so he accidentally ran into him "doing business". After all, Su Xu would greet him in advance when he couldn't help but want to solve it. This kind of oolong: "Ah Xu, don't be angry, I didn't mean it. And I really didn't see anything..."

Su Xu shook the bath ball impatiently, and shouted angrily in a low voice: "If you don't get lost, I will drag you to the veterinary hospital and eunuch you when I get out!"

Ed groaned in horror, and said tremblingly, "Get out now! Get out now!"

After Su Xu wanted to do some manual work and was broken by Ed, he was in a very bad mood. He just wanted to take a shower and get dressed. He finished the battle bath in a few minutes. After changing his clothes, he decided to take Shen Jiarui out for dinner.

It couldn't be worse to be fascinated by the smell of his stepson after he did something. Su Xu was always awkward and startled. Before going out, when Shen Jiarui went to hold his hand as usual, He was even flung away in shock.

"Dad?" Shen Jiarui frowned, thought of something, opened his arms and hugged him tightly with an undeniable strength and posture, "Dad, don't worry, I will never leave you, Shen Chengxuan's kind Scum, I feel disgusted when I see him."

Su Xu's face was forced to be buried in Shen Jiarui's neck, his nostrils were filled with the strong smell of his body, it was Shen Jiarui's unique biological smell, it immediately reminded him of what happened in the bathroom just now, which made his face It turned red again.

Su Xu struggled a bit, but Shen Jiarui hugged her even harder: "Dad, you trust me!"

"Good boy, I didn't doubt you." Su Xu could only hug his back and pat him. "Just now I thought of something else, which has nothing to do with you. Well, let me go, let's go to eat quickly."

Shen Jiarui reluctantly let go of his arm, and found that the blush on Su Xu's face had spread all the way to his neck and neckline, so he let go of Su Xu contentedly.

At night, after making sure that Shen Jiarui was asleep, Su Xu entered the space.As soon as he landed, he saw Ed trembling beside him.

Ed curled up slightly, with his tail tightly attached to his lower abdomen, and his ears attached to the back of his head. He carefully looked at the expression on his face. Seeing that the expression on Su Xu's face was still calm, he quickly shook his tail, carefully Called softly: "Ah Xu~"

Su Xu was amused by his flattering look, bent down and patted his head, and said, "Sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper with you, it's not your fault."

Ed straightened his body immediately, stretched his hind legs after kicking the material bar, and looked like he was alive after a catastrophe: "It's good that you don't get angry. Let's hurry up and finish the job early. I'm liberated. You will be set free."

They have reached the fifth level of the task of "Master of Perfumery". The previous task rewards were some expensive and rare spices and its substitute formula, as well as many exquisite and complicated perfume formulas. Most of them have nothing to do with Ed, only When the fourth-level task was completed, there was an additional instruction, clearly stating that after the fifth-level task was completed, Ed could leave the space and enter the human world, and in the human world, as long as he did not do anything that threatened the security and normal and stable development of the world Things, his ability will no longer be limited.

"What ability?" Su Xu asked. He and Ed have known each other for so many years, and he has always felt that Ed is no different from an ordinary dog ​​except that he is as intelligent as a human being and can speak human words. other abilities.

"It's nothing." Ed refused to reveal, but his triumphant appearance made Su Xu want to pull his ears, "It will scare you to death, hum!"

The theme of the fifth-level task is emotion, which requires the deployment of perfumes that can express various emotions, such as anger, sadness, joy, admiration and so on.Su Xu barely completed the fifth-level task, and just passed the level. The smell that can express emotions is not like sound and picture. There is no smell that can represent sadness or joy. Usually, it is more about the smell that triggers memories than the smell. Memories trigger emotions.Su Xu had no choice but to use various well-known stories as the main body, expressing emotions by expressing stories, but obviously this kind of flattering method did not satisfy "Master of Perfumery" as he did in the past, almost every recipe of his would fail at least once .

"You have done a good job." Ed said fairly, "It seems to me that it is almost impossible to concoct a perfume that expresses emotions with the world's low-grade and crude spices. I thought I was out of my life."

The last recipe requires expressing the emotion of secret love. Since it is a secret love, it should not be too obvious, otherwise it will become a confession. Secret love is just a careful hint, and only those who have the same heart can feel it.

Su Xu tried for more than a month, and failed three times. Today, this time, he believed that he would definitely succeed, and now he only had to confirm the dosage of the last ingredient.This job is not difficult, they just need to add spices to the perfume drop by drop until they find the most suitable fragrance.

One person and one dog sat next to the workbench, took an appropriate amount of perfume into the beaker, and began to drop the final ingredients. The interval between each drop and each drop was 15 seconds, so as to allow time for the liquid to fully integrate and emit the smell , but also leave room for them to fully understand the aroma.

The smell in the air has always been separated, the semi-finished perfume and the last ingredient, they exist independently like oil and water.Su Xu put down the dropper, rubbed his sore shoulders, and said to Ed: "Take a rest, I think my nerves are exhausted, and I feel that my sense of smell is about to fail on this bottle of perfume."

The two left the studio and walked slowly along the flower garden.

"When you leave the space, what do you want to do?" Su Xu asked.

Ed sneezed comfortably, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "I don't know, there are too many things I want to do. Oh, that's right!" His eyes widened excitedly, and his tail flicked wildly Moving, he raised and lowered his limbs restlessly, "I want to be an actor! I want to make a TV series! I also want to play Yingniang and Yunxiang!"

Both Yingniang and Yunxiang are the heroines of the Gongdou drama that Ed watched during this time.

"..." Su Xu blinked, and finally touched Ed's head with infinite sympathy, "Okay, I'll take you there."

At that time, take a few more artistic photos for Ed to comfort him.

When Su Xu recovered almost, the two returned to the studio, and continued to add spices to the previous work.

This work lasted for another 15 minutes, and suddenly both Su Xu and Ed suddenly raised their heads and stared at each other excitedly.

The smells that had been separated for a long time finally changed and began to merge, and a brand new fragrance faintly emanated from the light green liquid.

"It's started!" Ed whimpered excitedly, "What is the first drop? Let me see... this is the 157th drop!"

"Calm down, calm down." Su Xu took a deep breath, "Concentrate on it, it's about to start dripping."

The changes in the aroma became more and more obvious, and each drop could almost cause a new change. Su Xu and Ed extended the interval of adding the drops to half a minute, and they didn't stop until they could clearly identify that the spice was used in excess.

Ed pushed the notebook in his hand to Su Xu: "I think the fragrance of these three points is the most perfect."

Su Xu compared the points he recorded with the points he recorded, and they were exactly the same.So they re-sampled the perfume, added the spices according to the amount recorded at these three points, screened again, and eliminated another one.

For the remaining two samples, the two held opposite opinions and argued endlessly.

"I think it's too strong." Su Xu pointed to Ed's sample, "This one should be as light as possible. The fragrance should be unpredictable, but your sample is too strong."

Ed shook his head, "Ah Xu, have you ever had a crush on someone else?"

Su Xu paused for a moment: "Probably, I don't think so." Although he had a crush on others, he thought he couldn't really understand the meaning of a crush.When he was in middle school, he liked his classmates, but at that time most of his thoughts were on schoolwork and perfume learning, and he didn't have much time to make him sad. He felt a little sad, but it was just a little bit.After he became an adult and worked, many people in his working and living circles were gay, and he had several relationships with off-again and off-again, but they were all pursued by others.

Ed sighed, and said: "Ah Xu, secret love is a low-key emotion hidden in the heart, but emotions are not something we can control if we want to. Sometimes we don't say it, but our eyes, our actions, The aura emanating from our bodies, without exception, is telling each other our feelings. Secret love is not so low-key that people can't detect it, but secret love is a patience that is on the verge of breaking out. It should not be illusory, it should be full of tension."

Su Xu didn't speak, he put the cap on his perfume and put it aside, took Ed's perfume, put it under his nose and sniffed gently, closed his eyes and felt it.

Timidity, bravery, joy, and sadness are contradictory and strong emotions. It is like a beast hiding behind the woods, ready to pounce on its prey, and the timing of the attack depends on how you feel. When facing it in line of sight.

After a long time, Su Xu opened his eyes and nodded, "You are right, this bottle is more suitable."

After confirming the ratio of the last ingredient, Su Xu remixed a whole bottle of perfume. The difficulty of perfume lies in the determination of the formula rather than the process of preparation. After 15 minutes, a person and a dog stood in front of "Master of Perfume", A large bottle of pale green perfume was carefully poured onto the last recipe page.

The pages of the book have completely absorbed the perfume, and if "Master Perfumer" thinks the perfume is unqualified, the perfume will flow out from the page again, and this time, as Su Xu and Ed thought, nothing happened, "Master Perfumer" The following pages were unblocked, and they passed.

The two couldn't wait to turn to the next page to see the list of rewards. The first one was for Ed:

Eddrasil Lemondelco is hereby allowed to freely enter and exit space and the human world.

What follows is about Ed's various rights and behavior restrictions in the human world, but it is written in the language of Ed's original world, which Su Xu can't understand.

Ed looked at these specifications carefully, and the more he looked at them, the more excited he became, his tail was about to be thrown off.At last he let out an excited and shrill hum, and big drops of tears rolled down from his eyes and wet his long hair.

"I'm free!" Ed raised his neck, howled like a wolf, and disappeared in the next second.

Su Xu looked at him with a smile, and after Ed disappeared for a second, the gratified expression on his face suddenly froze.

"Oh my God!" He exclaimed, and immediately left the space. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a dim light in the dark bedroom before entering the space. Shen Jiarui, who was still asleep just now, was sitting on the bedside. , looking at Ed who was lying on their quilt trembling in front of him.

Seeing that Su Xu also opened his eyes, Shen Jiarui calmly pointed at Ed and asked, "Dad, what is this?"

"This is... um... this is... a dog... this..." Su Xu was in a cold sweat, his mind was in a mess, there was a large dog that couldn't be hidden in the house for no reason, and he even said this. It's impossible to be surprised.

Ed knew that he had gotten into trouble, so he lay motionless on the bed, his tail trembling slightly, and his two big black almond eyes were rolling around, looking at the expressions of the two of them quickly.

"Dad." Shen Jiarui sighed, put his arms around his shoulders, and pressed a kiss on his forehead, "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, let it go, I won't force you. Now think about how to deal with this dog. "

Su Xu spread a blanket on the sofa in the living room, intending to let Ed sleep there.Shen Jiarui frowned: "Let's lock it in the bathroom, what if this guy wants to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night?"

Ed's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to complain, Su Xu slapped him on the head, and smiled apologetically at Shen Jiarui: "Ed is very good, he wants to go to the bathroom and go back to the bathroom Yes, and use the toilet. Don't you, Ed?"

Ed let out a long "huh", leaned his body gently on Su Xu's lap, wagged his tail happily, and looked at Shen Jiarui innocently.

Su Xu patted his head: "Go to sleep on the sofa, good dog."

Ed groaned, jumped onto the sofa wagging his tail, curled himself up, hid his nose in his tail, and watched the two of them secretly through the fur of his tail.

Shen Jiarui smiled slightly, took Su Xu's hand and led him back to the bedroom: "Hurry up and go to sleep, it's already very late."

The father and son lay back on the bed again. During this period, Shen Jiarui didn't ask any more questions. He calmly turned off the light and closed his eyes.

Su Xu opened his eyes, looking at the shadow pattern imprinted on the ceiling when the street lights shone in through the window, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He was trying hard to think about how to explain Ed's problem to Shen Jiarui tomorrow, but he couldn't think of any reasonable explanation at all.

"Go to sleep." Shen Jiarui suddenly propped up his body, he gently pressed Su Xu's eyes with his hands, and the warm palm made his eyes relax comfortably.

"Go to sleep." Shen Jiarui said softly, "If I say I don't ask, I won't ask again. When will Dad want to tell me, tell me again. If you don't want to say it, it doesn't matter if you don't say it for the rest of your life. Go to sleep."

Su Xu raised his hand to grab his hand, but was held by Shen Jiarui's other hand.The father and son didn't speak any more. In the silence, Su Xu gradually fell into a dream.
