Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 2 (3)
Chapter 3 Perfume
On the way back, it was just in time for the rush hour to get off work. Zhou Shuo hurriedly rushed, but he was still a few minutes late when he returned to the company.
Xia Liang was already waiting at the door of the company, but he seemed to be in a good mood. When he got into the passenger seat, he half-jokingly asked: “Nothing was splashed this time, right?”
”Spilled it.” Zhou Shuo replied briefly. Seeing Xia Liang turn his head and look him up and down, as if he wanted to find some evidence on him, he continued, “It wasn’t splashed.”
Xia Liang burst out laughing, patted his shoulder and said, “So, you are the most reliable in doing things.”
Xia Liang thought that Zhou Shuo was deliberately talking loudly to amuse herself, but she didn’t know that Zhou Shuo really couldn’t keep up with his brain circuitry.
As soon as Xia Liang got into the car, he smelled Xia Liang’s peculiar perfume smell again, and because the space inside the car was small and airtight, the smell was sweeter and richer than in the afternoon, making it almost unavoidable. .
Zhou Shuo’s heart was beating uncontrollably again, and he had to concentrate on restraining the growing evil thoughts in his heart, so much so that it took him a long time to digest what Xia Liang said to him before he could give an answer.
”Young Master,” Zhou Shuo said with difficulty, “Did you… spray a little too much perfume?”
”Perfume?” Xia Liang was stunned, raised his sleeves and smelled it, with a confused look on his face, “I haven’t sprayed perfume, where did the perfume smell come from?”
”…” Zhou Shuo was a little speechless. He even said that he didn’t wear perfume for such a strong smell. He didn’t know whether Xia Liang’s sense of smell was too dull or his own sense of smell was too sharp.
But Xia Liang is not the kind of person who tells lies. Since he said he didn’t cheat, there is no lie.
Maybe a girl in the company broke the perfume bottle and Xia Liang accidentally got it on her clothes when she passed by? Thinking of this, Zhou Shuo felt a little relieved.
But the smell still made Zhou Shuo very uncomfortable. He held his breath and opened all the windows on all sides. After driving on the road, the wind blowing through the windows diluted the intensity of the smell in the car, allowing him to breathe a little.
The place where Xia Liang went for an appointment was a resort owned by the Xia family. Due to its age, although it had been renovated several times, it still retained the Japanese style that was popular more than ten years ago.
The furnishings in the box were simple, but the layout was warm . A young man was sitting cross-legged in front of a low table, pouring himself a drink. When he saw Xia Liang push the door open and come in, he raised his eyebrows and smiled at him: “Here?”
”Well, there’s a traffic jam on the road. Have you been waiting for a long time?” Xia Liang said,? Sitting cross-legged opposite him. “Fortunately, we didn’t wait too long.”
Xia Liang called Zhou Shuo in and introduced, “This is Zhou Shuo, you should have seen him before.”
Then he said to Zhou Shuo: “This is Li Mo, my junior high school classmate. I wonder if you still remember him.”
Zhou Shuo sat down next to Xia Liang, put his hands on his knees, and nodded politely to Li Mo.
Xia Liang’s junior high school days were so far away for Zhou Shuo that his impression was vague, but Li Mo quickly remembered Zhou Shuo, pointed at him and suddenly realized: “No wonder he looked familiar to me as soon as he came in. It turns out to be the little follower next to Xiao Lin.”
Xia Liang explained with a smile: “I used to follow Xiaolin, but now I follow me – working as my assistant.”
Only then did Zhou Shuo vaguely remember that when he was a child, Xia Liang did often bring classmates home for a period of time, and the relationship between the two was extremely good. At that time, Zhou Shuo was young, and Li Mo would often tease him intentionally or unintentionally.
Later, when Xia Liang went to high school, Li Mo came less often, basically only once in a while during the winter and summer vacations. When he went to college, Li Mo almost never showed up at Xia’s house. It must be that the two of them went to different schools and kept in touch with each other. Gradually less.
Zhou Shuo had some impression of Li Mo’s existence, but he had almost forgotten Li Mo’s name and appearance. However, the moment he saw him, he always felt as if he had seen him somewhere before, not who he looked like. , but like the actors in which TV series.
Li Mo: I’m really… taking the blame before I even show up…
Perfume: Your pot is as big as mine…
