Olfactory failure

As usual, Zheng Chengyan made a cup of coffee after taking a shower at around nine o'clock in the evening and took it to work in the study. He only drank black coffee. If he drank Mocha, the cat would jump up to the desk and knock his cup over.

There is not much work to be done today. Zheng Chengyan sat on the computer and documents for an hour without any distraction. The coffee ran out, and he did not intend to go to the kitchen to refill it. He dug out an unopened notebook from the drawer and tore off the plastic. membrane.

Turning to the first page, Zheng Chengyan picked up a pen and wrote down the flying grass: a box of fresh chicken wings, a hairtail fish, a bottle of cooking wine, and the rest depends on the situation.

After writing the words that could not be filled in the two blank lines, it was a waste of paper. Zheng Chengyan tapped the metal pen holder with his nails, remembering that before hiring housekeepers, he often went shopping by himself. first.

So he added on the paper: Remember to take Wen Yanshu with you.

Upstairs, Wen Yanshu is also meditating on the recipe book. To design a fragrance, you need to consider the front, middle and back notes. The top note is the initial experience and usually only stays for a few minutes; the middle note is the theme of the perfume and will last for several hours. ; and the aftertaste is like an unfinished aftertaste, sometimes lasting for several days.

The fragrance formula on the previous page about the cake aroma was ruthlessly denied and blacked out by him. Although he has not yet decided on the fragrance to be designed, Wen Yanshu clearly knows that what he needs is not a gourmet fragrance.

What exactly is love and lust, he first wrote down the word romantic, and then added the word crazy, but in any case, it was not enough to describe his feeling from looking down from the window tonight.

Thinking of this, the tip of the pen suddenly hovered over the paper.

Wen Yanshu discovered a new contradiction.

Why did he firmly believe that that moment represented love?

Thinking hit a block here, the paid movie in the afternoon didn't bring any effect at all, Wen Yanshu didn't push himself into a dead end, so he decided to let himself rest.

Before going to bed, he took the cup soaked in milk powder to the kitchen to wash, and passed the study, where the lights were already dark.

The sound of the water flow covered the subtle movements behind him that could almost be ignored. Wen Yanshu stared at the splashing water beads, and his heart only tightened for a moment when something soft rubbed against his calf, and then he turned off the water. Yes, I wiped my hands with a rag.

Probably because he couldn't smell the cake smell on him anymore, Mocha stopped frantically pushing his crotch, and just walked around around his feet, rubbing his bare calf without even touching the hem of his clothes.

Wen Yanshu stopped by to check on the balcony. There was still food in the cat food bowl. He suddenly understood what was going on. He squatted down and wrapped his arms around Mocha's chin: "Do you want to get closer to me?"

Mocha blinked, and Wen Yanshu rubbed it: "I don't treat it differently, it's because I'm too boring, and I don't have much enthusiasm for anything other than fragrance. How about you teach me how to show liking?"

"I've been thinking about this question recently, like, love, and desire. I don't know if these three can constitute the three notes of perfume." Wen Yanshu hesitated for a moment, and sent his arm in front of Mocha, "You can rub my sleeve in the future. , I’ll just go back to my room and change.”

Mocha suddenly called out behind him, Wen Yanshu turned to look, Zheng Chengyan was standing half a meter away from the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking sleepy: "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"It's asleep, give it some food." Wen Yanshu wasn't sure if Zheng Chengyan heard what he said to Mocha, he got up and walked to the wall, "Do you want to keep the light for Mocha or turn it off?"

"Turn it off, I came here to take it to sleep in my room, so as not to scratch the door in the middle of the night." Zheng Chengyan leaned over and snapped his fingers, and Mocha ran to his side, and he led the cat upstairs Walk up, take two steps and turn back, "Don't stay up late, go to bed early."

The footsteps gradually went to the second floor, Wen Yanshu closed the French windows, the voice-activated lights from the stairs to the corridor flickered on and off, and the doors of the two bedrooms closed one after another.

Zheng Chengyan was sitting on the head of the bed, the tablet on the quilt was still on, and the screen stayed in the second half of the movie "Perfume". The perfume he concocts indulges in lust regardless of you and me, and he has already forgotten which side is the sin.

In the picture, there is a layer of flesh-colored shades. Zheng Chengyan pushed down the Mocha that was going to be put in front of the tablet, turned off the screen and rubbed its belly: "Does he mean that he is confused about love and desire? And let you teach him, Do you understand you?"

As if talking to himself, Zheng Chengyan said again: "If you don't understand lust itself, then don't just pull the progress bar when watching a movie, don't you understand even more?"

Mocha fell asleep after being touched by him, but Zheng Chengyan still kept a clear mind to analyze the reason why he was interested in Wen Yanshu recently.

Is it because he met Wen Yanshu that day in the bathroom that made him feel impulsive?

But desire cannot manipulate emotions.

Is it because the initial impression collapsed, and Wen Yanshu presented an appearance outside the standard of a spouse in front of him?

But he didn't want Wen Yanshu to make any changes.

Perhaps because of all kinds of unexplainable coincidences, he seemed to be the first to go astray in the originally agreed marriage, and he thought he could bear the consequences of going off the rails.

The wall lamp was turned off to prevent Mocha from being crushed, Zheng Chengyan was lying on his side and only occupied half of the bed.With the soft sound of a cat purring next to his ears, Zheng Chengyan leaned against the pillow and asked the family member for advice: "He doesn't understand love and desire, so let me teach him?"

A day's work drove exhaustion, and after making this decision, Zheng Chengyan fell into a peaceful sleep.

He hadn't finished watching the movie, but the movie reviews he had read in advance let him know the ending; the ending between him and Wen Yanshu was a foregone conclusion, but he suddenly wanted to make the process a little more interesting.

Neither of them had breakfast at home, so part of the time after waking up was spent on getting dressed, Wen Yanshu only pursued comfort, anyway, he had to change into a white coat when he arrived at the fragrance room; Zheng Chengyan was a little slower, pacing back and forth in the cloakroom The first step is to choose the tie pin after the suit is matched, and then you have to figure out which watch is suitable.

It was agreed last night to send Wen Yanshu to work today. He heard the other person's footsteps in the corridor several times, so he simply put down his tie and went to open the door: "Yanshu, come in and help me choose."

Wen Yanshu raised his hand to look at his watch, the time was actually still early, he followed Zheng Chengyan into the cloakroom: "Do you want to see a client today?"

"I chose it for Friday," Zheng Chengyan compared the two ties, "I forgot to tell you last night that I won't be home for dinner this Friday."

"An entertainment?" Wen Yanshu was very decisive in choosing spices, "This one, the Zapreet knot, is elegant and easy to untie."

Zheng Chengyan put the other one back: "Why should it be easy to untie?"

"In a Chinese dinner, few people are willing to be rigorous from beginning to end, and it will be uncomfortable." Wen Yanshu glanced at the time again, and helped Zheng Chengyan pick up his shirt on his own initiative, "Wear white?"

"It's blue, it's too easy to be the same as white." Zheng Chengyan leaned aside, and set Wen Yanshu off without any trace, "It's not a dinner, it's a reception."

Wen Yanshu paused with his hands lingering between shirts of different colors: "A reception hosted by Xihe Entertainment?"

"Yes," Zheng Chengyan said, "is your company also on the invitation list?"

Drinking is inevitable at the reception. Wen Yanshu was worried about the occasion he was about to face, but at this moment he couldn't help but relax: "The company sent me to participate, let's go together when the time comes."

"Okay," Zheng Chengyan achieved his goal, and tapped the back of Wen Yanshu's hand with his fingers, so that the other party would not waste any more time choosing, "I remembered, my only navy blue shirt was splashed last month. Chili oil, I eliminated it, so I just went to buy one with me after get off work tonight."

After a long delay in the cloakroom, it was too late for each other to go out. When they arrived at the Nafeli headquarters, Wen Yanshu opened the door and was about to get out of the car.

"What happened?" Zheng Chengyan asked.

Wen Yanshu said bluntly, "You don't need to bring me food tonight."

Zheng Chengyan leaned on the window frame and smiled: "Afraid of being beaten by Mocha when you go home?"

Wen Yanshu nodded, not saying that he really doesn't like food with jam.

When I entered the company's gate, I ran into Guan Rong from the marketing department again. The other party glanced at the side of the road and gossiped, "Leader Wen, I heard that you are designing a new fragrance with a lover as the theme?"

Wen Yanshu pressed the elevator door and turned sideways to let Guan Rong go in: "How many mouths and ears have spread this rumor?"

"It's close to ten," Guan Rong said, "If it really revolves around this theme, Team Leader Wen must be very handy."

But the facts are clearly the opposite. Wen Yanshu stared at the number of floors rising on the electronic screen, and his tone could not hear any emotion: "Why?"

"Just look at the relationship between you and your husband," Guan Rong said, "Pick you up and drop you off to and from get off work on time, especially last night, when I waited there early, Xiao Yang at the front desk said that her boyfriend was in love Not so patient."

The elevator made a "ding" sound, and Wen Yanshu pressed the open button to remind: "Your floor."

Wen Yanshu didn't take out the recipe book from his bag until he sat down in the fragrance room and stared at the glass bottles of the fragrance table for a long time, then turned to a new blank page.

He set aside corresponding positions for the front, middle and back notes, and then wrote down the feeling he wanted to describe after the colon of the top note: evening wind, light, tree shadow.Courtesy, restraint, understanding.

It is a concern that does not cross the boundary, and it is also an addictive sense of security.

A senior perfumer needs to do hundreds of experiments and modify the fragrance formula hundreds of times to create a bottle of perfume. Wen Yanshu has not even found the first set of raw materials. The exhaustion of the day, so the time of this day is very fast in a comfortable mood.

When the sky was covered with afterglow, Wen Yanshu cleaned up the mess on the table, took off his white coat and went into the bathroom to wash his hands.

After washing, it was just time to get off work. He was not in a hurry to leave, but stood by the window and looked down. Sure enough, the black Bentley was already waiting there. What he saw and felt was the same as last night. Scenes.

Fearing that the breath would slip away again, Wen Yanshu stood there without moving, took out his cell phone and dialed Zheng Chengyan's number.

It took only a second to pick it up, Wen Yanshu was separated by a distance of twelve floors, his eyes locked on the black roof of the car intertwined with lights: "Can you get out of the car and look up?"
