She Relies on an Enchanting Scent to Turn All Beings Upside Down - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Fourth Fragrance

“Is Su Wanwan doing this on purpose? Doesn’t she know CEO Hylia is a germaphobe?”

“It shouldn’t be on purpose… maybe she just really wanted to share?”

“I think some people have really forgotten what she did.”

“Thanks, kind stranger, for the reminder. The Imperial Beauty himself hasn’t said anything. Why are you getting so worked up?”

Because of Su Wanwan’s action, the live stream became lively again. And this time, there were people defending her.

“Who knows if those things are true? Did you personally see Wanbao’s love confession? Accounts can be hacked, don’t tell me you don’t know that?”

“Even though I’ve only known Wanwan for less than five hours, I can genuinely feel that Wanwan is a good baby, really! I’m a good judge of character. Maybe there was a misunderstanding with those things before?”

“Wanbao is so beautiful, does she need to confess her love to someone else? If I met her in real life, I would pursue her like crazy. If she ever confessed to me, I’d probably… just die of happiness?”

The live stream started to defend Su Wanwan’s reputation, while Su Wanwan herself continued her path toward becoming universally disliked. With so many people around, she wasn’t afraid of what Hylia might do to her, so her words and actions became even more excessive.

“Why aren’t you eating?”

“If you don’t eat now, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for your next meal. You’ll be hungry all night,” Su Wanwan reminded him, sounding very thoughtful. She just didn’t believe he could eat it.

Hylia had already changed his clothes and was once again in an expensive three-piece suit. His hair was also perfectly styled again. He was impeccably elegant, a stark contrast to the steaming bowl of rice in front of him. He glanced at the potato slice on the tip of his bowl. His face was unreadable as he casually asked, “Are you like this with everyone?”

“Not really… but you’re the most special,” Su Wanwan said, playing along and deliberately trying to get closer.

As expected, he frowned and said nothing else, not even touching his chopsticks. If there were a favorability meter, Su Wanwan guessed she could hear the sound of it bottoming out. She smiled and picked up a piece of egg, happily eating on her own.

At this moment, the production team also reminded everyone in a timely manner, “The other teams should eat as well. We can’t waste food.”

Song Yuege and Jiang Chuxia looked at each other and finally braced themselves to try the vegetables they had stir-fried. Thankfully, it wasn’t very hard to eat, other than having no flavor. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

When it was Jiang Yao and Meng Ze’s turn, neither of them said a word. The atmosphere between them was as solid as a ten-meter-thick wall. Neither had any intention of speaking.

“Mr. Jiang…”

Jiang Yao, whose name was called, looked at the writer with cold eyes. The aura of a top-tier Alpha once again made the writer gasp for air.

“Never mind.”

Meng Ze’s voice broke the deadlock. He took a spoon and scooped some of the soup into his mouth.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

As soon as the soup entered his mouth, Meng Ze bent over and coughed violently. The intense movement made his eyes turn a faint red, and his dark pupils glistened with a layer of moisture. His normally cold and handsome face took on a fragile look. A handkerchief appeared in front of him. Meng Ze took it without thinking and covered his mouth to suppress his cough.

After he stopped coughing, he was about to thank her, but when he looked up, he saw a smiling, snow-white face. The beauty of her face hit Meng Ze unprepared. His pupils trembled for a moment. When he came to his senses and realized who was in front of him, his expression suddenly turned cold. The lips that were about to say “thank you” closed again.

Su Wanwan didn’t mind his attitude. With a very good-natured tone, she said, “You don’t have to return the handkerchief. Just throw it away later.” She seemed to know that she wouldn’t get a kind reaction from Meng Ze, so she didn’t try to make small talk. After saying that, she turned her head and went back to pestering Hylia.

Yes, in Meng Ze’s eyes, she was a casual Omega who would cling to anyone she saw. She was the type of person he disliked the most. Meng Ze clenched the handkerchief in his hand. The feeling of disgust made him want to throw it away immediately, but his good manners prevented him from doing so.

“Holy crap, the two beauties on the same screen are killing me.”

“Wanwan is so beautiful. Even standing next to the Imperial Beauty, she’s so eye-catching. What did she eat to grow up like this?!”

“If I could see the two beauties in a group together in the future, I’d be all over it.”

“Dream on, upstairs.”

“Yeah, definitely dreaming.”

Although no one mentioned it, everyone knew that Meng Ze’s attitude toward Su Wanwan was not friendly. Although Meng Ze was always distant with people, it was a polite and measured distance. Only with Su Wanwan was he so stingy with a simple thank you. But could they blame Meng Ze? They could only pretend not to see it.

As for Su Wanwan… If you said what she did was wrong, she didn’t really do anything that wrong. But if you said she did nothing wrong, she knew she should have kept her distance from the Imperial Beauty, but she still went up to him. Any words of blame disappeared as soon as they looked at that beautiful face, like a snow lotus. So, they all just pretended not to see it and just praised her beauty instead.

The comments in the live stream were unexpectedly peaceful, which made the writer unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief, though he didn’t know what he was so worried about.

The “pleasant” dinner time ended, and the director’s team gave everyone a big gift.

“Huh? What is this?” Chi Yuan, who had been called downstairs again, looked at the bracelets on the table with an impatient tone. He was already hungry, and they called him downstairs just as he was about to go to sleep, so his temper was short.

“These are GPS bracelets prepared by the production team. Due to the temporary removal of your Star Brains, to ensure everyone’s safety, everyone must wear a bracelet in case of an emergency.”

“What kind of emergency?” Chi Yuan scoffed in disdain. He glanced at the bracelet on the table, picked it up, and casually put it on his wrist. It clicked shut with a snap.

“Oh, by the way, the bracelet has no way of being removed at the moment, so everyone will have to personally go to the relevant department to have it removed after the show ends,” the writer added.

“Hahahahaha, the young master is totally bewildered.”

“The young master tried to pry it off a few times and it really didn’t budge, hahahaha.”

“I’m dying of laughter, hahahaha. The young master is always so cute.”

After repeated assurances that there was no harm and that the bracelets could indeed be removed after the show, everyone put them on one after another. Of course, the writer did not mention one thing. Besides GPS, the bracelet had one more important function. It would suppress an Alpha’s physical abilities.

That’s right, this was another ridiculous idea from the higher-ups. According to them, these Alphas’ powers were too strong. Even Jiang Yao, who was a scientist, had an A+ physique when he graduated from military academy, not to mention the others. Overly powerful beings wouldn’t be aware of the small dangers in their surroundings, so to make them feel a sense of crisis, the higher-ups specially developed this inhibitor bracelet, which limited their physical abilities to that of an average Alpha.

Starting tomorrow, an experience they had never had in the first half of their lives would be waiting for them. This information was displayed on the public screen, meaning that everyone except the guests knew what the bracelet did.

The moment the bracelet clicked shut, Xie Canglan’s body stiffened. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he felt something quickly draining from his body. He looked at every member of the production team and finally said with a slight curl of his lips, “This feels… not good.”

“Holy crap, there’s a murderous look in Teacher Xie’s eyes. Did he figure it out?”

“Laughing. You must have graduated from the Imperial Military Academy, upstairs. Teacher Xie is smiling so kindly. He’s not as scary as you say.”

“I have to say, Teacher Xie’s intuition is terrifying. He felt something was wrong as soon as he put it on. He’s truly worthy of being the Imperial physical training teacher. The young master is still trying to figure out how to take it off, hahahaha.”

“Hahahaha, the young master is killing me.”

“Actually, if General Yu was here, he would also feel it quickly. A soldier’s intuition is usually more acute.”

“Good news! The General’s starship has arrived at the Imperial port. If nothing goes wrong, he’ll be on the show tomorrow morning.”

“Yay! I love General Yu the most!”

After the bracelet segment, the production team announced a new task.

“Each person will receive ten initial Heart Coins, with one Heart Coin equaling one Star Coin. You can spend Heart Coins to buy a Heart Envelope to write a letter to your desired partner.”

“Of course, different envelopes have different prices. To get a better envelope, you need to earn more Heart Coins.”

“This is a mandatory task. You must write a letter to one guest every day.”

“This is a rule set by the higher-ups,” the writer added weakly.

“In addition, you will also need to find your own ingredients for tomorrow’s meal. The production team will provide tasks to help you earn more Heart Coins. With the coins, you can buy ingredients~”

No one paid attention to the writer’s slightly playful last sentence. He had no choice but to awkwardly fall silent.

“How much is the cheapest envelope?” It was Su Wanwan who asked, playing along. The writer looked at Su Wanwan gratefully. At this moment, the beautiful girl, who already looked like a fairy, was shining even brighter in his eyes. He quickly replied, “Only one Heart Coin.”

“Then I’ll buy this one.” Su Wanwan cooperated, handing over a Heart Coin that had barely warmed in her hand. She took a plain envelope and went upstairs. With her leading the way, the others also bought envelopes one after another, all of them being the cheapest.

The writer felt a little disappointed. When he saw Hylia approaching, he subconsciously took out the cheapest envelope, but he heard the other person say with an elegant smile, “I want the best one.”

Only the best envelope could be worthy of the most beautiful Omega.

The writer was taken aback. He looked up at the elegantly smiling Hylia, momentarily stunned. After a brief pause, he quickly pulled out the most expensive envelope. Just as he was about to hand it to him, he suddenly realized, “But you don’t have enough Heart Coins…” The most expensive one cost a hundred Heart Coins.

Hylia’s brows furrowed abruptly, and the smile on his lips froze. As the CEO of the top hotel chain, Kegnis Hotels, Hylia had never had a problem with money. The writer, sensing what he was about to say, quickly added, “We don’t accept currency exchange.”

Hylia’s previously gentle smile turned into a sneer. If it weren’t for the inhibitor bracelet, the writer would have been suppressed by the Alpha’s aura once again.

“Then just give me the ten-coin one.”

The writer handed over the envelope, but Hylia didn’t take it right away. He first pulled out a thin pair of gloves from his suit pocket. After slowly putting them on, he took the envelope. The writer had no choice but to deal with this germaphobe and hoped he would leave quickly.

Because Hylia deliberately waited to be the last one, there was no one else there when he went upstairs. The first thing he did when he returned to his room wasn’t to write a letter. Instead, he sat at the table and awkwardly manipulated two chopsticks with a straight posture. He practiced again and again, trying to use the chopsticks the way the girl had, in an attempt to not embarrass himself the next day.

That’s right, Hylia, the CEO of Kegnis Hotels… didn’t know how to use chopsticks. That’s why he couldn’t bring himself to accept the little Omega’s offer to feed him.
