The Perfumer Who Wears the Book

The current Earl of Holt and the eldest son of the earl, who are also the first in line to the title, greeted them at the gate. The earl first briefly hugged his mother, wife and daughter, and then walked towards Su Xu, solemnly shaking her hand. He held his hand, expressed his thanks to him, and then warmly invited them into the castle.It was mid-afternoon when they arrived at the castle, and after a brief grooming, it was just in time for afternoon tea.

Su Xu and Shen Jiarui were led to the other end of the castle by a male servant in a tuxedo, to the living room where the afternoon tea was held.Su Xu raised his head and looked at the continuous portraits on the ceiling, without concealing his behavior like a bumpkin, and said to Shen Jiarui: "I thought the area open to tourists in front was gorgeous enough, but I didn't expect the nobles The real place to live can be so luxurious.”

Shen Jiarui put his arms around Su Xu's waist and half supported Su Xu to walk forward, so as not to prevent him from looking at the house and forgetting to look at his feet: "Really good things must be hidden, except for museums, who would have no qualms about treasures?" display to strangers."

Su Xu nodded. The portraits on the wall next to the corridor are almost all collection-level portraits with both historical and artistic value. They were hung on the wall by the Holt family as decorations. One can imagine how rich this family is. deep.

Half of the large living room where the afternoon tea is held is a large open-air balcony. The sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the warm room, and the whole living room looks extraordinarily resplendent under the sunlight.

"Is the room comfortable?" Countess Holt asked, "If there is anything we can't accommodate, please let us know."

"Thank you, it's very comfortable." Su Xu smiled.

"Terrence wants to thank you in person." Earl Holt said, "He is still in the recovery stage and cannot cope with social situations, so he didn't greet you at the door just now. He knows that you have arrived, but he still needs I'm making some mental preparations, I hope Mr. Su doesn't mind."

"Of course not." Su Xu hurriedly said, "I understand very well."

Shen Jiarui smiled and said, "Do you need me to avoid it? Terrence doesn't know me. If I'm present, I'm afraid it will cause a certain psychological burden on him."

Before the Holt family had any reaction to Shen Jiarui's proposal, the door of the living room was opened again by the male servant waiting at the door. Vincent walked in first. He held a person's hand, and that person was The door stopped.

Vincent also stopped quickly, turned around to comfort the man, first he took his hand, lowered his head and said something in a low voice, and finally hugged him slowly, as if giving support to the man, before letting go after a while, The two held hands and walked slowly into the living room.

Everyone in the living room fell silent, and Earl Holt's family showed extremely gentle smiles, looking encouragingly at the boy hiding behind Vincent.

"Come on, Terry." Earl Holt raised his hand slowly, for fear of scaring his son if he moved too fast, "Come on, Dad, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Su who gave you the essential oil, Su Xu. "

Terrence held Vincent's hand tightly, and it took him a while to muster up the courage to walk out from behind Vincent.He was a very thin boy, morbidly thin, with sunken cheeks, pale face, shadows under his eyes, slightly bent back, as if he was always frightened, and looked tired and fragile.He kept his eyes down all the time, and the etiquette education he had received told him to look up at the guests in the room, but whenever he raised his eyes slightly and saw the guests in the room, even if he didn't make eye contact at all, he would As if startled, he quickly averted his eyes, stared at the pattern of the carpet, and murmured in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "No, very glad to meet you, Mr. Su..."

Su Xu was shocked by the haggardness of this boy who had suffered so much, and couldn't help but soften his voice, and said softly: "I am also very happy to meet you, Mr. Holt."

"Honey," Vincent first reminded Terrence of his existence, and then carefully put his arms around his shoulders, whispering, "Why don't you ask Mr. Su if we can call each other by Christian names?"

Terrence closed his eyes, took a deep breath to relax himself, then raised his head little by little, and finally his eyes met Su Xu's.He shivered, turned his head slightly, and seemed to want to look away immediately, but soon he restrained himself, looked at Su Xu for a few seconds, and then smiled faintly, saying: "Just now... It's really rude... The essential oils you gave me have helped me a lot, and I don't know how to thank you."

Su Xu could see that after a few minutes of adaptation, Terrence no longer had the fear and tension that he had just walked into the room, so he smiled and said, "If you are willing to allow me to call you Terrence, This is the reward I want most now, if you are willing to call me Su Xu, Xu, or Xiu, I will be even happier."

Terrence's smile got bigger. He was thin and frightening, with a layer of gloom and fear lingering between his brows and eyes. This smile made him look a lot brighter.He is not only handsome, but there is a kind of exquisite simplicity that is not familiar with the world between his facial features, and he is extraordinarily cute when he smiles, like a well-behaved angel in a portrait, Su Xu immediately understood why he encountered such a situation last summer The pure temperament exuded by this child from the inside out is really confusing.

Vincent introduced Shen Jiarui to Terrence again. Pretending to be harmless is Shen Jiarui's forte, but no matter how he restrained his aura, Terrence still didn't dare to look at him. The breath is extremely sensitive, so no matter how harmless Shen Jiarui pretends to be, Terrence can still discover his aggressive nature.

Terrence sat down opposite Su Xu, he leaned against Vincent tightly, Vincent put his arms around his shoulders to protect him in his arms, and he obediently pressed his face against Vincent shoulder socket.Everyone was chatting about the just-concluded perfume exhibition. Natalie was full of witty words, describing all kinds of perfumes on the exhibition. A certain brand launched a new product with a good taste this year, and the work of a certain brand failed completely. Humorous, even Terrence couldn't help smiling slightly.

Su Xu sat aside and watched Natalie talking without saying a word. The main point of the afternoon tea conversation was to tell Terrence.Of course he wouldn't feel slighted, but he didn't know what the child liked to hear, so he just quietly listened to Natalie's words, echoing a few words from time to time.

Terrence listened to his sister talking, but his eyes always glanced at Su Xu from time to time, Su Xu was afraid of scaring him, so he didn't look back at him, but sometimes Terrence looked at him for too long, Su Xu Then he nodded and smiled slightly at him, feeling like he was teasing a small animal.

When the afternoon tea was over, everyone went back to their rooms to rest and prepare for the dinner specially prepared for Su Xu and Shen Jiarui in the evening.

Shen Jiarui watched Su Xu and Terrence flirting all afternoon. Even though he knew that Su Xu was only sympathizing with each other, he still felt sore. When he returned to the room, he was about to say something when he heard Su Xu sigh: "When I see Terrence, I think of you when you were young."

Shen Jiarui swallowed back the complaints that came to his lips, adjusted his tone, and said, "Why do you think of me?"

"When I first met you, you were the same, thin and small." Su Xu gestured, "Fearful, like a little rabbit that fell into a wolf's den. At first I wondered how long it would take Only then can I make you happy, I didn't expect you to accept me so quickly."

Thinking of the past, Shen Jiarui's expression also softened, he hugged Su Xu from behind, kissed his neck gently, and called softly: "Dad..." Su Xu touched his head, turned his face to meet him kiss.

In the guest room of someone else's house, Su Xu was too embarrassed to do too much, so the two had to go to the bathroom and take a mandarin duck bath for an hour before getting dressed and coming out.

Terrence is not like what Su Xu thought before. He has completely lost his social ability and can't get along with others. In fact, after he relaxes, he will be a very good chat partner. Just be careful not to make sudden movements, or Informed touch.

So the next day, Su Xu sent a meeting gift, which he dug out in the space at night, the essential oil of one of the varieties of tear jasmine.The tear jasmine essential oil used by Su Xu in the perfume is to arouse moving emotions, the essence before giving to Terrence is to help dredge and vent emotions, and now this type of essential oil is to appease and calm.

The effect of Jingyou was immediate. After soaking in the hot water bath for more than half an hour with this essential oil, Terrence seemed much calmer. When he saw Shen Jiarui, he was less restrained and nervous.

The whole family is thrilled, and every bit of Terrence's progress means a lot to them.Su Xu himself didn't have anything in return, but Shen Jiarui took advantage of Su Xu's light.Vincent made a lot of concessions in the cooperation between the two companies, which made the cooperation go very smoothly. By the time the two returned to China, Seydoux had already sent a representative to go back to China with the two to contact with Shang Hua's people. , signed a cooperation agreement.

Just after the "Queen's Perfume" was put on sale in Saidoux's major stores, in the spring of the second year, Shunan and Saidoux officially merged and changed their name to Shunan-Saidoux.The company purchased a perfume from the perfume laboratory of a well-known perfumer and put it on sale together with the "Queen's Perfume", barely filling the company's facade.
