The Perfumer Who Wears the Book

After eating a sumptuous breakfast on the sunny balcony, Su Xu went downstairs on time at 09:30 to meet the new colleagues she just met yesterday.

Leo changed into a silver-gray suit, which made him look mature and demeanor in line with his age. He showed his charm to everyone without hesitation, making most of the women in the hotel lobby, Even the man's eyes couldn't help but focus on him.

"Good morning." Seeing Su Xu coming out of the elevator, Leo greeted him with a smile, "When I picked up the perfume bottle today, I felt uneasy for the first time. I was worried that the perfume I chose was not suitable enough. Laughed at by your brilliant perfumer."

Su Xu smiled and shook his head: "I can only evaluate how well a bottle of perfume is prepared, but I am not qualified to judge your taste. The same perfume, different people can smell different flavors and experience different emotions. There is no uniform standard."

"Ah, then I'm relieved." Leo clutched his chest, heaved an exaggerated sigh of relief, and led Su Xu towards the hotel gate, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the theme of this exhibition is The shape of 'creature'...According to reports, some visitors think it's a bit too wild, I hope it doesn't scare you."

The jewelry showroom is located in an art studio not far from the hotel, and there is often a variety of art on display here, ranging from painting antiques to jewelry.At this time, a huge poster hung on the door of the studio. The entire text was in Russian, and only Leo's name could understand it. Below the poster was a picture of a gemstone brooch. On a woman's white chest, a A butterfly with wings decorated only with white opals landed on a silver poisonous snake inlaid with red, blue and green gemstones, and the poisonous snake was turning its head with a big mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, as if it would be about to attack in the next second. Jump to catch the butterfly.

"Butterfly and poisonous snake? It's an interesting combination, very vivid." Standing at the gate of the studio, Su Xu commented while looking at the brooch on the poster.

"Thank you, I'm glad you said that." Leo touched his chin, stepped forward in a gentlemanly manner, and opened the glass door for Su Xu, "Please come in, I hope that other exhibits can also be loved by you."

The exhibition hall is very quiet, except for the lights shining on the jewelry in the display cabinets scattered in the room, there are only a few dim chandeliers that are almost useless.This light makes the strangely shaped jewelry in the showcase look a kind of creepy horror.Su Xu looked at the slender eight-legged spider lying on a delicate red crystal rose in front of him, resisting to comfort the standing hair on the back of his neck, he couldn't help sighing in his heart: It's really vivid. scary.

All the works exhibited here are eerie and strange. Su Xu saw a necklace made of thirteen poisonous snakes intertwined, and a pure white angel was decorated in the middle.Su Xu couldn't think of anyone who would want to buy such a terrifying necklace.

"Although the shape of these jewelry looks a little strange, the effect will be very good after wearing it." Leo opened the promotional brochure he brought from the studio door, and found the page introducing this necklace, This page is accompanied by an effect picture of the model wearing. In the picture, the model with Gothic style heavy makeup lazily uses one hand to pull up her hair high behind her head. She is wearing a black deep v The dress and long skirt are half lying on the wine-red sofa, holding a glass of red wine in the other hand, thirteen entangled poisonous snakes are on the slender and white neck, the angel is hanging on the chest, the femme fatale is cold and stern .

Su Xu looked at this picture in admiration, and looked at the necklace in front of him, and said without hesitation in his praise: "You are really a genius."

"Oh, I know I should be more humble at this time. But there is no way, I think what you said makes sense." Leo spread his hands slightly exaggeratedly, "I don't need to deny the truth, so, yes, that's right , I'm a genius."

Su Xu held back the impulse just in time before the blurted laughter became reality.He shook his head helplessly, but he began to be vigilant in his heart.Leo's behavior looks like an activist in middle school who was eager to attract girls' attention, which made him wonder if the other party had other plans for him.Su Xu is not narcissistic, but when he finds a sign, he doesn't want to pretend to ignore it.

After visiting the room full of venomous snakes, spiders and bats decorated with gold and silver jewels from Angu, Leo warmly invited Su Xu to have a special lunch at a nearby small restaurant. In the afternoon, the two of them followed the original plan Visited the Hermitage, which was once the private museum of Catherine II.

After Su Xu felt Leo's embarrassing and ambiguous attitude, he didn't plan to continue walking with Leo the next day, but at the Summer Palace the next day, Su Xu ran into Leo again.

"This kind of coincidence, maybe we can call it fate?" Leo stood in front of Su Xu with a smile, "I don't know why you are avoiding me, but if it is my fault, I am willing to apologize."

Su Xu's lips trembled. It was impossible for him to tell someone he had just met for two days that the reason he wanted to avoid him was because he felt that he was interested in him.So in the next three days of the trip, Su Xu had a tail that he couldn't get rid of, and accompanied him to tour the entire St. Petersburg, and finally even followed him on the plane to Italy.Although this tail is a little nervous from time to time, most of the time it looks extraordinarily charming, but the more he is like this, the more vigilant Su Xu becomes.If he had met such a man in his previous life, he might have enjoyed his company very much, and if the other party proposed that kind of invitation, he would definitely readily agree.However, in this life...

Su Xu rubbed his temples tiredly.Why didn't you agree? A man of this quality is obviously an excellent affair.He couldn't answer this question, but he vaguely felt that if he thought about it further, he would get an answer that he didn't want to get, at least right now.

"Be sure to let me be your tour guide." After getting off the plane, Leo recommended himself enthusiastically, "Don't forget that I am an Italian man from Sicily, and this is my hometown."

"It's too troublesome." Su Xu politely refused, "I just want to go for a walk, and you finally went back to Italy, I'm afraid you want to see your friends and relatives even more."

"They can watch at any time, but friends don't need such help at all times." Leo didn't seem to hear the alienation in Su Xu's words at all, and followed Su Xu into the taxi. This time, he booked the room in Su Xu. Xu's next door.

Su Xu was going crazy, he had never met such a blank-eyed person, and what annoyed him even more was that he had to appease Shen Jiarui, who was on the other end of the phone, who was about to go into a rage.

"I'll have someone book a plane ticket to Spain for you right away." Shen Jiarui's voice seemed to want to chew everything, "You don't have to be polite to such impolite people. Wait. Leave when the plane ticket is booked, there is no need to say goodbye to him."

Su Xu sighed: "After all, we are future colleagues, there is no need to make the relationship so rigid, maybe..." Maybe he thought too much, and the other party was just clumsy in interpersonal communication.Su Xu didn't say this, he never told Shen Jiarui his guess about Leo's ambiguous attitude, he intuitively thought that this kind of inference would make Shen Jiarui even more crazy.

So in the end he just sighed again: "It would be embarrassing to just leave like this. In fact, many people have this problem and treat people too warmly. He is just one of them. After all, he also Didn’t do anything to me, and it’s not that annoying when you think about it.”

"Do you like him?" Shen Jiarui's voice sounded full of disbelief.

"Of course not." Su Xu quickly comforted her, and spent the next half hour on how to prove that Su Xu only likes Shen Jiarui in this world.

In the next room, Leo was lying in the bathtub, lazily calling on the phone in Italian: "Miss? Oh, well, he is more sensitive than I thought, and now there is a high chance of having a regular lover, isn't it? As written in the information, he is a widower with a six-year vacancy period. Marcelo’s news is not accurate, it seems that you have to change someone.”

"It seems that this man is a bit tricky?" A woman's slightly hoarse sexy voice came from the phone, with a touch of sarcasm, "Are you going to continue playing this so-called hunting game?"

"No." Leo picked up the wine glass that was placed aside, "I still have something to do before I go to Beijing, and I don't want to delay any longer."

"You're giving up?" the woman asked. "That's not like your style."

"Of course not giving up." Leo put the wine glass back, looking at the blue sky without a trace of white clouds outside the window, "I just plan to change my style temporarily, to your direct style, and make a quick decision."

As soon as the words fell, the woman's public laughter came out clearly through the mobile phone: "If you listen to me earlier, you won't have so many troubles?" The woman was a little proud, "Do you want me to send someone over? When are you going to start?"

"No." Leo refused, "I have enough people. I think it will be settled tonight, and I will see Moretti tomorrow."

"Okay." The woman snorted, "Good luck."
