Chapter 5: Fifth Fragrance
The next day, viewers were waiting early in the live broadcast room. The number of online users even surpassed 10,000+. After a successful warm-up on the first day, this dating show had become the hottest broadcast in the Empire. Even before the show started, it was at the top of the charts, successfully crushing all other programs.
It was no surprise that Su Wanwan’s name was trending, and her entrance was even edited into a “Goddess-like Face” compilation. The netizens who had been boycotting Su Wanwan and deliberately not watching the live broadcast were shocked when they saw the compilation.
“Is this Su Wanwan? Not a face synthesized by AI?”
“Holy crap! Who is this? Su Wanwan? Is she the same Su Wanwan I know?”
In the video, the girl slowly descended the stairs from the open doorway. The sunlight outside blurred her figure, but her perfectly proportioned body could be vaguely seen. A netizen who couldn’t sit still seeing this immediately started typing an angry comment.
“And you have the nerve to call this a ‘Goddess-like Face’? I bet Su Wanwan paid people to whitewash herself.”
“What can you tell from this? Her figure is good, but who knows if it’s been photoshopped with special effects. Interstellar technology is very advanced now. Even live broadcasts can have face swaps…”
The moment her feet touched the ground, the girl looked up and smiled at the camera. The beauty revealed in that instant was like a warm flower in spring, carrying with it a thousand splendors that hit people directly in the eyes. The sunlight behind her became her background, or rather, all things would be eclipsed by her presence.
The keyboard warriors who were about to continue their rant stopped in a daze. The screen was even filled with comments that were well-reasoned in the first half but became a string of gibberish in the second half.
“I’m dying of laughter. Why aren’t the trolls cursing anymore? Keep going.”
“I was holding back just now, waiting for this moment to see them get a taste of their own medicine, hahaha.”
“Now that I’ve seen them, I realize how foolish my actions were yesterday.”
“Don’t even mention it. If I could travel back in time to yesterday, I’d definitely mute my own account.”
Even though the live broadcast had only just begun, all of Su Wanwan’s appearances were edited into a compilation. Even the part where she and Hylia were cooking in the kitchen had a separate compilation.
[I’m suddenly so envious that CEO Hylia can cook for Wanwan with his own hands. I want to cook for Wanwan too, wuwuwuwu.”
“? You upstairs, do you want to take a look at your ID?”
“Hahaha, “Su Wanwan Get Out of the Live Stream”. Does this mean a hater has become a fan?”
“What? I haven’t changed my name yet!!! Wuwuwu, Goddess Wanwan, don’t look. I didn’t mean it. I’ll change it right now!”
“By the way, am I the only one who finds CEO Hylia and Wanwan a little shippable? A germaphobe CEO and a beautiful ditz, or something like that. Because he loves her, even if she makes a mess, he can only endure the pain and joy of it.”
“? Something is not right with you.”
“This is a huge win!”
Because her Star Brain was removed, Su Wanwan couldn’t access the StarNet, so she didn’t know what the online comments about her were like. In her mind, it was probably similar to when she first arrived in this world: an overwhelming flood of insults and constant notifications. After her little performance yesterday, they were probably cursing her even more fiercely now. It didn’t matter. She only had to endure it for seven days. After seven days, she couldn’t care less.
After washing her face, a refreshed Su Wanwan took out a simple white mermaid-style, bodycon dress from the closet. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought it looked fine, so she casually paired it with a pair of heels and earrings and went downstairs. These things were originally the host’s. When she was bored before leaving, she had searched up their prices. To be honest… considering the host’s background, they were probably cheap goods, but for a normal family, they would be considered a bit expensive. They were probably the kind of niche brands that rich people would look down on, and poor people wouldn’t buy even if they gritted their teeth. To be honest, her own previous standard of living was higher than this. The original host lived a really poor life. She didn’t know if the family was truly poor or if they just didn’t want to spend money on her.
The sound of her heels clicking on the floor became clearer. The few people sitting on the sofa in the living room looked up at the spiral staircase and were all stunned. The girl walking down, lifting the hem of her skirt, had her long black hair tied back, revealing only a butterfly hairpin with a delicate chain that swayed slightly. The figure-hugging white mermaid dress perfectly outlined her S-shaped curves. Although she was thin, she was curvy in all the right places, and her bones were well-proportioned, making her incredibly beautiful. Although the dress was very conservative, showing only her lower legs and delicate white ankles, the overall impression was one of stunning beauty and sexiness. This sexiness was not a vibrant, flamboyant kind of sexiness, but a refined, gentle, and delicate kind that made an Alpha’s desire to protect her double.
A cold, sharp gaze fell on her, and Su Wanwan noticed it immediately. She looked up at the source of the gaze and saw a man sitting upright in a crisp, dark military uniform. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his face was handsome and profound. His eyes, under his short black hair, were calm and restrained. He exuded an aura that said, “Do not approach.” His left hand held his military cap on his leg, and his right hand rested neatly on his leg. His posture was straight, and various medals hung on the front of his uniform.
Yu Lianheng, the Imperial General, was known for being strict and cold, holding himself to a high standard and demanding the same from others. His information instantly appeared in Su Wanwan’s mind. She gave him a small smile, as if politely greeting him, and then continued to focus on the stairs. Yu Lianheng gave her a brief glance before quickly returning to himself and not looking at her again.
“Good morning, everyone. What’s for breakfast?” Su Wanwan said naturally after she came downstairs, as if looking for food. Just as she was about to look into the kitchen, she heard a loud bang. The next second, something flashed past her eyes.
“Careful.”
A large hand grabbed her arm and pulled her, and she stumbled backward. The next second, she heard a thud against the wall. She turned her head and saw half a frying pan embedded in the wall, not moving at all. Instead, several cracks had appeared on the wall, and a few layers of dust had fallen off.
That’s so exaggerated… Su Wanwan’s pupils widened, and she felt a sense of fear. If that had hit her on the head, wouldn’t her life be…?
“Thank you so much for your help!” Su Wanwan sincerely thanked the person in front of her, the smile on her lips coming from the bottom of her heart. But the next moment, she looked up and saw the other person’s face, and her smile instantly disappeared.
“To show my gratitude, I’ll bring you some breakfast. Please wait for me.” Su Wanwan said while subtly pulling her hand away from his. She then quickly turned and went to the kitchen, her steps seeming a little hurried.
Xie Canglan, who was left standing there,’s smile paused slightly. He gently rubbed the fingers that had gripped the girl’s arm, as if he could still feel the soft texture of her skin. Was she… avoiding him? Xie Canglan, who was instantly aware of this, felt both curious and strange. He hadn’t done anything to her, so her reaction… was intriguing.
Su Wanwan rushed into the kitchen, her mind still unsettled, and was immediately choked by a wave of smoke. After she opened the window to clear the air, she saw the domineering CEO in his handmade, custom-made three-piece suit standing next to the stove. She wasn’t surprised at all. This CEO had already shown her his amazing knife skills in the kitchen yesterday. She just wondered what he was doing in the kitchen today.
Hylia, standing there in thought, saw Su Wanwan out of the corner of his eye and his eyes lit up slightly. He was about to speak, but he looked down and saw a few spots on his clothes. With a sudden burst of his germaphobia, the impeccably mannered CEO Hylia frowned and rushed upstairs without saying a word.
To Su Wanwan, this meant that the other person disliked her so much that he couldn’t even stand to breathe the same air as her. The mouth that was about to greet him simply closed. Good, she hoped CEO Hylia would continue to keep his distance.
Su Wanwan didn’t stay in the kitchen for long. She quickly fried two eggs, casually toasted four slices of bread, spread some sauce, and added some vegetables. A simple nutritional sandwich was done. It had to be said that the production team’s kitchen was fully equipped and had everything you could possibly need, which was indeed very convenient for Su Wanwan.
She carried two plates. As she passed by Xie Canglan’s spot, she naturally placed one of them in front of him. Then she found an empty seat for herself and started eating without looking up, like a little hamster.
Xie Canglan had thought she was just saying it, but he didn’t expect her to actually bring him a plate of breakfast. And it was… a smiling heart-shaped breakfast.
Xie Canglan looked at the heart-shaped smiling face on the bread. Then he looked up at the girl who was sitting far away from him, eating without looking up, like a little hamster. For a moment, he didn’t know how to describe his feelings. Should he… thank her for making him breakfast despite her feelings of dislike?
Xie Canglan was amused by his own thoughts. He then shook his head and picked up the sandwich in front of him. In any case, she had made it with good intentions, so he should show his appreciation. Xie Canglan didn’t have high hopes. He took a bite, ready to spit it out at any moment. But after that bite, he narrowed his eyes. How to describe it… It was surprisingly delicious.
Xie Canglan narrowed his eyes, looking at the girl’s beautiful, snow-white face. A sudden sense of curiosity arose in his heart. Did the Su family also teach Omegas how to make ancient human food? Or did this Su Wanwan have a secret no one knew about? Xie Canglan’s desire to explore, just like his appetite for the sandwich, was greatly piqued by the girl.
As for Su Wanwan, she wasn’t avoiding Xie Canglan out of fear. She simply didn’t want to get involved with people like him. If she could, she wouldn’t even want to interact with him. Although she knew her beauty wouldn’t attract men’s attention in this world, just in case, she was still very careful around certain types of people.
Su Wanwan had dated many men, so many that the first time she saw Xie Canglan, she knew he was the type of man she wanted to avoid the most. This type of person, who seemed gentlemanly and polite, acted with restraint and logic, and had an outstandingly handsome face and brain, seemed to be full of affection but was actually very ruthless. If someone accidentally got into their narrow heart, they would be relentlessly crazy for the rest of their lives.
