She Relies on an Enchanting Scent to Turn All Beings Upside Down - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Sixth Fragrance

Su Wanwan was so used to making breakfast that some people would occasionally look at her while she was eating. Xia Qingli was the most obvious, with her face practically pressed against Su Wanwan’s hand.

“Is this… delicious?” The little girl’s voice was accompanied by the sound of her mouth watering. Su Wanwan’s chewing motion paused, and she looked at her sideways. The close-up beauty instantly flustered Xia Qingli, who leaned back and tripped over her chair.

“Ah!” she yelped briefly. Su Wanwan instinctively reached out to grab her, but before her hand could touch the other girl, she saw that Xia Qingli had already sat back down.

“Little uncle,” Xia Qingli called out nervously, her eyes darting around and her body stiff.

“Mm,” Yu Lianheng, who had withdrawn his hand, replied curtly before saying, “Sit up straight.”

This cold voice made Xia Qingli shiver, and her originally slouching posture immediately straightened up. Su Wanwan found it amusing and couldn’t help but look at them a few more times. She didn’t expect that Yu Lianheng was Xia Qingli’s little uncle. With such a strict little uncle, life must be quite difficult.

Su Wanwan wasn’t the only one who was bewildered; the live stream viewers were too. A wave of “holy crap” comments flew by.

“Just to clarify, Xia Qingli’s great-grandmother is General Yu’s grandmother, so they are somewhat related.”

“Oh my goodness, it’s that complicated? I had no idea!”

“I’m sorry, me neither.”

“Lili is so pitiful. She must be under a lot of pressure with a little uncle like that.”

Su Wanwan, who also felt pity for the little girl, broke her sandwich in half and handed one to Xia Qingli, sympathizing, “Here, eat.” The poor child’s face had turned pale from fright.

Faced with the unexpected offering of food, Xia Qingli was stunned for a moment and quickly waved her hand, saying she didn’t want it. However, as soon as the words left her mouth, her stomach rumbled, and the little girl’s face flushed red instantly.

“Eat it. I’m pretty much full anyway.”

“Th-thank you.” Unable to refuse and too hungry to resist, the little girl decided to accept the food after a brief struggle with her rationality. She took a small, careful bite, afraid that it would be as unpalatable as yesterday’s food.

A magical flavor she had never experienced before spread through her mouth, and the little girl’s eyes lit up immediately. “It’s so delicious!” she exclaimed.

Su Wanwan felt even more pity for Xia Qingli. The poor thing, she had never even eaten a sandwich before. What a difficult life she must live. She had completely forgotten that people in this world only drank nutrient solutions, and solid food like meals and snacks had long been phased out.

Even though the little girl’s eating motions weren’t very big, she quickly finished her half of the sandwich after being hungry for an entire night and half a morning. After she was done, she unconsciously looked at Su Wanwan with a lingering gaze, as if she wasn’t full.

Although she wasn’t full, the little girl didn’t ask for more. She thanked her very politely, “Thank you so much for the breakfast. Um… can I call you Wanwan?”

“Wanwan?” Su Wanwan looked at the girl, who was about a head shorter than her, and smiled, “You should call me big sister instead.”

Xia Qingli’s cheeks, flushed from the captivating smile, said softly, “I… I’m already 50 years old. That’s not young.”

Su Wanwan’s smile froze, and her eyes showed a hint of disbelief. “Huh? Fifty years old???”

She looked at Xia Qingli, who was wearing a pink puffy skirt and holding a pink bunny plushie. She gazed at the other’s delicate, flawless skin for a long time, and she couldn’t see any signs of a fifty-year-old. Was the cosmetic surgery in this other world that amazing?

“No, host. The average lifespan in this world is around 800 years, so fifty years old is still considered very young,” the system explained.

“What? So I…”

“The host’s age will still be displayed as your real age. If you complete the mission and decide not to leave this world, your lifespan will also be extended accordingly.”

Su Wanwan didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. She unconsciously looked at the little girl, whose eyes were filled with anticipation for her reply. She felt a bit complicated. Anyone would feel complicated if they found out they were half the age of the delicate and cute little girl in front of them!

Su Wanwan quickly composed herself and didn’t make Xia Qingli wait long. She smiled and said, “Yes, you can.”

“Yay! Wanwan, can I be on your team today?” The little girl made an eager invitation to team up, but was mercilessly crushed by the production team’s voice.

“No. Today’s teams will be assigned by the system.”

Su Wanwan said apologetically, “I’m sorry.” While she apologized on the surface, she felt no regret in her heart. Even if the production team hadn’t spoken, she would have refused. She had a mission to complete. How could she have a hindrance with her?

A gaze she couldn’t ignore suddenly fell on her face. Su Wanwan looked up and saw Yu Lianheng, who was standing tall and straight like a drawn sword, staring at her with profound eyes.

“Thank you.” After a pause, he continued, “I apologize for the trouble.”

Su Wanwan was confused but still smiled. “It’s no problem~” She deliberately drew out the last syllable, making her voice sound soft and tender, like a little hook that tickled one’s ears.

Su Wanwan thought that a person like Yu Lianheng must hate undisciplined and lazy people. This was evident from what he had just said to Xia Qingli. What a coincidence. She was exactly that kind of person.

The girl smiled sweetly, her body as soft as a snake as she rested her chin on her hand, looking at him lazily. This posture would normally look very unattractive, but she was so beautiful that any posture she adopted looked particularly pleasing to the eye. The thought that the other party was only 26 years old made him swallow the words he was about to say, telling her to sit properly. She’s still a child… It wouldn’t be good to be too strict, and she had just taken care of Xia Qingli, who was so much older than her.

Yu Lianheng pursed his lips. His long eyelashes slightly veiled his expression, making it difficult to discern his thoughts behind his cold and handsome face.

Sure enough, he really dislikes my type. Thinking this, Su Wanwan’s already boneless body became even softer. She was about to collapse on the table, unaware that the neckline of her mermaid dress was already wide. With her leaning forward, half of her smooth, white chest was revealed to the standing Yu Lianheng, just barely visible.

Yu Lianheng’s brows furrowed tightly. He glanced at Su Wanwan as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and turned to leave with a tense face. He looked as if someone owed him money, and his face was utterly sour.

“Little uncle?” Seeing Yu Lianheng suddenly leave, Xia Qingli was a little confused but also relieved. This showed how much pressure Yu Lianheng’s presence put on her. Thinking this, Xia Qingli looked at Su Wanwan, who was lazily resting her chin on her hand and slouching on the table, with some envy.

Wanwan is so amazing. She’s not afraid of little uncle at all. I wish I could be like that too.

“Holy crap, Wanwan is so cool. She can maintain such a lazy posture in front of the General. If it were me, I’d be sitting up straighter than Lili!”

“I’m dying of laughter. If it were me, I would have run away already. Who can relate to how terrifying the General’s aura is?”

‘But still, isn’t that a little impolite to the General?”

“Huh? How is this related to politeness? The General himself didn’t say anything. What are you doing?”

“If we’re talking about that, Wanwan is so much younger but still took care of Xia Qingli. Why don’t you say Xia Qingli is impolite?”

“Exactly! Stop the mental manipulation!”

The comments in the live stream never seemed to stop arguing. The writer was used to it, but when he heard what they were discussing, he subconsciously glanced at Su Wanwan. Because she had eaten breakfast, Su Wanwan was a little sleepy, and her eyes were slightly narrowed, making her look lazy. She was in a daze, so her fingers were unconsciously twirling a stray strand of hair by her ear. The black hair wrapped around her slender fingertips, a black and white contrast that had a unique allure.

Director Zhang’s cough made the writer jump, and his mind instantly snapped back. He looked at Director Zhang, who had a look of disdain on his face.

“Announce the mission.”

Oh, right. The writer remembered what he was supposed to do next. He coughed with a flushed face and said calmly, “This morning, everyone’s mission is to find ingredients. This will determine whether you can have a full stomach for lunch, so teamwork with your partner is very important! I hope everyone can experience the importance of teamwork today.”

Hylia, who had just changed his clothes and come downstairs, heard this. His eyes unconsciously looked at the beautiful girl sitting lazily at the table, resting her chin on her hand. It was strange. She wasn’t sitting in a very prominent spot; in fact, she was a little to the side, but he still spotted her at a glance.

She should be on his team again today, right? After all, she had chosen him yesterday. Hylia thought about the results of his all-night practice, and his eyes were full of determination. This time, he would definitely…

“The teams have been assigned. The results are–”

“Jiang Yao x Song Yuege, Chi Yuan x Meng Ze, Xie Canglan x Jiang Chuxia, Yu Lianheng x Su Wanwan, Hylia x Xia Qingli.”

The cold, emotionless voice of the AI brought Hylia back to reality. He looked at the timid Xia Qingli, who was walking toward him. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his handsome face looked a little gloomy. This… was a little different from what he had imagined.
