Chapter 5 - Angel Phantom

Xi Baichen cleaned up the table, leaving only a box of onion rings. Then, some tomato sauce was applied to the onion ring attached to Mi Li for identification, and she was placed in a feeding box with her onion ring companions.

"Didn't you say you like eating onion rings? With so many left, why aren't you eating them?" Asked Mi Li surrounded by onion rings in confusion.

Xi Baichen gave her a disdainful look and said, "I never leave any residue when I eat." "Either I don't eat, or I eat everything clean."

Residue → Mi Li: "..."

"I'll eat it when you're cold," he added.

What do you mean "wait for you to cool down"? You're just getting cold!

Mi Li controlled her body, rolling down from a pile of onion rings, clattering onto the table, and then rolling onto the carpet, sinking into its fur and unable to roll anymore.

Xi Baichen looked over and then pulled out a piece of paper from the paper tube, picked her up from the carpet, and hung it on the spoon in the coffee cup.

Mi Li spun in circles on the spoon, causing it to make a ping pong sound. However, she couldn't shake herself off the spoon and had to give up.

Making onion rings requires self-awareness, being too arrogant is not good. Mi Li comforted herself so much.

Xi Baichen ignored her and continued to open his computer, starting to write words.

"Do you have any other entertainment besides coding?" Asked Mi Li.

"Yes," Xi Baichen replied while typing on the keyboard, "fitness, shopping, and watching movies."

"Ah, I like it too!" Mi Li said happily when she met someone with similar interests,"Why don't we go out and play together next time?"

"Mmm," Xi Baichen responded without hesitation.

Seeing his focused expression, Mi Li did not continue to disturb him, but quietly hung on the spoon to read his words.

At this time, Xi Baichen is planning an outline of a workplace essay. The male leader is code named "X", the female leader is "Y", and the supporting role are male a, male b, female a, female b, and so on. The male leader is a problem student who was expelled from the university. His character is wild and unruly, but he is smart, bold and careful, and has an extraordinary sense of smell. After experiencing various setbacks, he was accepted as an apprentice by a perfumer, and then embarked on the career path of developing famous perfume.

After reading the outline, Mi Li comforted, saying that this time it was finally not a dog blood love story.

"I'm going to buy perfume tomorrow, will you come?" said Xi Baichen suddenly.

"Um... it depends on the situation." Mi Li can't control what she will become. If she turns into a toilet, even if the tank cracks, she won't be able to go out with him.

Upon hearing this, Xi Baichen didn't say much and continued to refine his outline.

Mi Li quietly accompanied him until consciousness returned.

When she woke up, it was already past 6 pm. After washing up, Mi Li started preparing dinner and kept recalling what had happened in my dream.

Most of the details are vague, but she remember that Xi Baichen is planning a novel related to perfume and has a mobile phone number.

As a trendsetter pursuing fashion, perfume is also one of the luxuries that Mi Li pays attention to. In her collection, there are two bottles of high-grade perfume worth more than 3000. One bottle is Lancome Yidong, and the other is Shanlaier Yuya. The former is fresh and unrestrained, while the latter is fragrant and lasting. Different dress styles are matched with different perfume.

Generally, Mi Li doesn't spray perfume, but when attending a party, perfume can enhance her temperament, increase her charm and attract like-minded people. Because of limited financial resources, Mi Li could not buy more expensive perfume. The two bottles she is currently collecting are the ones she carefully selected and ultimately chose to have the most suitable taste for herself.

After serving several dishes that were delicious in color, aroma, and taste, Mi Li remembered that she had said she wanted to make something delicious for Old Bai.

She took out her phone and hesitantly pressed the string of numbers, only to hear a pleasant ringing sound. Several seconds later, the other end was actually connected.

"Hello, who is it?" A hoarse male voice came from the phone.

Mi Li's eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "Is it Old Bai?"

"What... what..." The other person's voice suddenly became blurry, and in the end, only the noise of Zzlara remained.

"Hello, hello?" Mi Li raised her voice and called out a few times, but received no response. After a moment, the call was automatically interrupted.

Mi Li called several times but couldn't get through. She stared at her phone for a while and then sent the other person a text message without giving up: "Old Bai, I'm Xiaomi."

After waiting for a few minutes without receiving a response, she had to give up. Place her phone on the table, wash her hands and cook.

After dinner, Mi Li went to the shopping mall and wandered around the cosmetics counters, tried a dozen perfume in person, and finally spent 898 yuan to buy a bottle of Adidas Love.

When sleeping at night, she sprinkled some perfume on her pillow, and then fell asleep soundly surrounded by the fragrance.

"Old Bai, I am Xiaomi."

Upon seeing a text message from an unfamiliar number, Xi Baichen's first reaction was, "Have you turned into a phone this time?"

Mobile phones are as quiet as chickens.

After half a day without any response, Xi Baichen moved his finger and replied with a text message: "Where are you?"

The phone is still as quiet as a chicken.

After waiting for a few minutes, he sent another message: "Are you still there? Whose phone are you using?"

Information sinks like a deep sea, silently.

Xi Baichen simply called her, but the result showed that she was not in the service area.

He frowned and saved the number, signing it as "Little Ghost".

The next morning, Xi Baichen came to a luxury store and scanned perfume on the counter with a clear goal.

"Sir, may I help you?" The receptionist politely asked.

"Please show me all these perfume," replied Xi Baichen.

"Is it all?" The counter lady scrutinized his attire without leaving a trace, dressed in designer clothes and of high value.

"Yes, that's right."

"Just a moment, please." The counter lady was so confident that she put all the perfume samples on the table.

Xi Baichen picked up a bottle and leaned in to smell it, his brow slightly furrowed. Then he picked up the second bottle, the third bottle... sniffed them one by one, and the rich and mixed aroma rushed into his nose, almost making it impossible for him to breathe.

Putting down the last bottle of perfume, his face could not see the likes and dislikes, but the tight lip line revealed his feelings slightly.

"These perfume are quite popular this year. If you don't dislike them, I can help you to refer to them." The counter lady introduced them warmly.

"No need," Xi Baichen refused directly and left decisively, not caring at all about the desk lady's instantly stiff expression.

He turned to another brand counter and continued to smell the fragrance.

He wants to find a special perfume. As the prototype of the best perfume prepared by the man in the book, it does not have to be the most expensive, but it must be able to inspire him.

An hour later, Xi Baichen went through almost all the counters, attracted countless white eyes, almost numb smell, and failed to find his favorite perfume.

Just as he was feeling restless, a familiar voice suddenly came to my ear: "Hi, Old Bai, this way, this way!"

Xi Baichen looked around, searching for the source of the sound.

"I'm at the Angel counter."

Angel counter was just visited by Xi Baichen ten minutes ago. When he heard the call of Mi Li, he turned back.

The counter lady who had served him was roast about him with her colleague. When she caught a glimpse of him standing in front of the counter, her expression stiffened and then she gave a very unnatural professional smile.

"May I ask what else you need?"

Xi Baichen ignored her and continued to scan the products on the counter.

"Angel Phantom."

Xi Baichen immediately locked onto the target. It was a perfume that he had just smelled. The bottle was as transparent as amber and belonged to one of the world's top brands.

He asked the counter lady to take out the bottle of perfume and gently hold it in her palm.

"You said you would buy perfume today, did you?" Mi Li asked excitedly. She wonder if it is because she smelled perfume and fell asleep last night that she turned into a bottle of perfume today.

Angel Ou, a perfume brand, does not exist in her world. If she can set up her own counter in the mall, she must be a well-known brand.

Xi Baichen approaches perfume and sniffs it carefully. A delicate and long-lasting aroma lingers in his nose, like a night blooming Epiphyllum, appearing in a startled manner with a lingering fragrance.

The originally restless mood instantly calmed down, and the sounds around gradually faded away, leaving only a clear and bright scene.

When he first smelled it, he didn't feel anything, but this time it brought him a completely different sensation.

"This bottle of perfume, I'll take it." Xi Baichen felt for the bottle with his fingers and motioned to the counter lady to open the ticket.

The receptionist's face showed surprise, and her smile immediately became incredibly sincere.

This perfume has a list price of 4455 yuan, which is the most expensive one in the counter. After selling, she can earn a considerable commission.

Xi Baichen swiped the card, took the packaged perfume and walked out of the mall.

"Old Bai, quickly take me out. The box is pitch black and I can't see anything."

Xi Baichen took her out of the box and held her in his hand.

"How about Angel · Phantom's perfume? Does it smell good?" Mi Li can't wait to ask.

"It's okay," Xi Baichen replied calmly.

"Is it just okay?" Mi Li is extremely confident in her charm, whether it's making doorbells or onion rings, she is the best. "You picked me out of so many perfume, which means you are very satisfied with me."

Didn't he pick her because she voluntarily announced her position?

Xi Baichen said realistically, "Before you appeared, I had no intention of buying this perfume."

"(* ^ __ ^ *) Hee hee, so you are not satisfied with perfume but with me?"

Xi Baichen "Hehe": Where did this guy get her confidence?

Although his face shows disapproval, there is no denying that this perfume is really unique because of her arrival.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but bring her up to his nose and sniff her.

"Don't get so close, I've seen your nose hair!"

Xi Baichen: "..."

The beautiful atmosphere disappeared, and the 4455 perfume could not be saved. Is it still too late to return the goods?
