Chapter 10

Some say that smells can store memories.

The smell is like a key that can easily open the door to dusty memories. The door to Ji Jinsi's memory was opened just like that.

Along with the fragrance, the image of himself leaning on Ye Qingli's neck suddenly appeared in his mind. He originally thought that he had forgotten this memory.

Ever since Ye Qingli left, he has never smelled this scent again...

Almost subconsciously, Ji Jinsi stood up, grabbed Li Kun's hand, and took the bottle of perfume from him.

"Hey, boss, why are you stealing my things? This is a new product that Mozhu hasn't released yet. If you like it, wait until Mozhu releases it before buying it!" Fearing that the perfume would be snatched away by Ji Jinsi, Li Kun hurried to snatch the perfume back.

Ji Jinsi tightly grasped the bottle, easily dodging Li Kun's movements. Suppressing her emotions, she asked, "Newly released, meaning, this perfume hasn't been available before?"

Seeing Ji Jinsi's question, Li Kun paused and said with some pride, "Boss, you are really ignorant. In the perfume industry, the scent of each perfume is unique to each brand. Even if the smells are somewhat similar, there are still some subtle differences. Moreover, as far as I know, Mozhu's perfumer is a genius. There are many kinds of scents that only she can create!"

"Look, it's written on the card they gave me. It's a perfume that hasn't been released yet. It definitely hasn't been available before." Li Kun said as he held the card in front of Ji Jinsi.

"Speaking of Mozhu's perfumer, I met her last night. She's a very beautiful woman, more beautiful than many women I've seen, except my wife, of course."

Ji Jinsi had no intention of listening to Li Kun at all; his attention was focused on the card.

He was very familiar with the handwriting on the card.

He thought again of that evening when Ye Qingli was sitting in front of a small table practicing calligraphy. He was tired of reading documents, so he sat beside her and watched her practice calligraphy.

It seemed that because of my appearance, the originally beautiful handwriting began to float.

He leaned close to Ye Qingli's ear, smiled, and said, "Writing like this shows that you are an indecisive person..."

The memories came to an abrupt end, Ji Jinsi reached out to grab the card, and returned the bottle of perfume to Li Kun.

He took the card and read it word by word until he saw the words "Luo Qingli" written on it.

Luo Qingli?

Ye Qingli, is it really you?

Ji Jinsi thought of the woman he met that evening, who looked very similar to Ye Qingli. This also proved that Ye Qingli was also in Mocheng. It was very likely that this Luo Qingli was Ye Qingli!

"Boss, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with this card?" Li Kun asked curiously when he saw Ji Jinsi staring at the card in a daze.

Ji Jinsi put the card into his pocket and said, "Nothing."

Seeing Ji Jinsi's actions, Li Kun was about to stop her. He was still thinking about giving his wife the autograph of Mozhu Perfumer, but seeing Ji Jinsi's expression, he wisely shut his mouth.

Ji Jinsi leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. The familiar fragrance still lingered faintly at the tip of his nose, as if Ye Qingli was still by his side.

Ye Qingli, is it you?

After a four-hour flight, the plane soon landed at Beicheng Airport. Li Kun rubbed his sore waist and was about to ask Ji Jinsi about the next arrangements when he saw him turn around and walk towards the airport entrance.

"Hey, boss, you're going the wrong way. This is the way out of the airport. Hey, where are you going?" Li Kun chased after him and asked.

"Go to Mocheng."

Ji Jinsi just said this, leaving Li Kun confused.

What's going on? Didn't we just get back from Mo City? Did the boss go through all this trouble just to fly with me?

Luo Qingli had no idea that a man was coming straight towards her. She was still playing with Xiaobao and the kitten at home.

Xiaobao is very interested in the kitten and even named it Ice Cream.

Although Luo Qingli didn't know why Xiaobao named a pure black kitten Ice Cream, as long as Xiaobao liked it, she accepted this somewhat strange name.

Luo Qingli continued to work on her perfumery business, while Xiaobao had a lot of fun playing with the ice cream.

Just like that, until the sun set and the brilliant sunset filled the sky, Luo Qingli and Xiaobao sat in the pavilion in the front yard.

There is a small yard in front of the house where she lives, where she grows some flowers and plants.

A winding stone path extends from the courtyard gate to the porch. On the left are several flower stands filled with flower pots and a small fish pond.

However, because Xiaobao was still young, Luo Qingli was afraid that he might fall into the fish pond, so the fish pond was not filled with water. Even now that Xiaobao has grown up, Luo Qingli has not thought of raising fish.

On the right side of the cobblestone road is a small pavilion with matching wooden tables and chairs. In the summer evening, it is very suitable to sit in the pavilion to drink tea and enjoy the breeze.

Xiaobao put the ice cream on the table and played with the cat with a small ball in his hand, while Luo Qingli watched the man and the cat playing.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from a small door next to her. It was the nanny in Lin Pingyu's family, who was responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the father and son.

"Xiaobao, Miss Luo, it's time for dinner." The nanny shouted from outside the small door.

A small part of Luo Qingli's front yard is connected to Lin Pingyu's backyard. So, in order to ensure Luo Qingli's safety and to make it convenient for Xiaobao to come and play at any time, Lin Pingyu asked the workers to open a small door at the connection.

However, the lock of the small door is inside Luo Qingli's yard, and the right to open or not open this connecting door lies in Luo Qingli's hands.

Aunt Lin at home took a leave of absence today for something, so Luo Qingli had dinner with the Lin family.

Hearing this, Luo Qingli stood up and walked towards the small door while saying to Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, let's go, we're going to have dinner."

When Luo Qingli opened the door, Xiaobao didn't follow. She looked back and saw Xiaobao still sitting in the pavilion playing with the kitten, saying, "Wait a little longer!"

Luo Qingli sighed. Xiaobao's thinness was partly due to the fact that he didn't like to eat.

"I'll ask the master to come over." The nanny sighed, turned around and went into the house.

Only Lin Pingyu can control Xiaobao a little.

Luo Qingli walked towards the pavilion and saw the kitten slap the ball off the table.

The ball fell off the table and rolled forward until it reached the gate of the yard.

Xiaobao happily ran to the gate of the yard to pick up the ball.

Luo Qingli followed, picked up Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, when it's time to eat, you have to eat well, okay?"

Unexpectedly, when he looked up, Luo Qingli saw a person standing outside the courtyard gate.

The gate was only as high as her chest, so she could see the man clearly.

The man was wearing a dark brown casual suit. His handsome face looked like a classical oil painting under the setting sun. Even the stubble on his chin added to his masculinity.

He looked at himself deeply but said nothing.

Luo Qingli was stunned, his mind went blank, and his heart began to beat rapidly.

How could it be, Ji Jinsi?

She never thought that she would see Ji Jinsi at her doorstep. How could he come to such a small mountain village by chance?

Just as Luo Qingli was stunned, someone was talking behind him.

"Xiaobao, if you eat your dinner well, I'll reward you with an ice cream."

Xiaobao turned around and found that it was Lin Pingyu who came through the small door and from the pavilion.

When Xiaobao heard there was ice cream to eat, his eyes lit up. He twisted his body and got out of Luo Qingli's arms, trotting to Lin Pingyu and said, "Dad, is what you said true? There is really ice cream to eat?"

Lin Pingyu picked up Xiaobao and said with a helpless smile: "Yes, you little greedy cat."

Luo Qingli was still looking at Ji Jinsi. She saw that the moment Lin Pingyu appeared, Ji Jinsi's eyes became a little scary when he looked at her.

Luo Qingli suddenly felt a little guilty, but then he thought, he and Ji Jinsi no longer have any relationship, so what is there to feel guilty about?

Just then, Lin Pingyu came over holding Xiaobao, "Qingli, it's time for dinner... Who is this?"

No matter why Ji Jinsi came here, Luo Qingli didn't want to have any contact with him again.

She looked away, turned around and walked to Lin Pingyu, tugged at his sleeve and said, "Nothing, just asking for directions. Let's go, let's go eat."

"Oh, Auntie made your favorite chicken wings today. Eat more at night."

The three of them left slowly, and those words were carried to Ji Jinsi's ears by the evening breeze. His eyes turned dark, and he looked deeply at the backs of the three people, then turned and left.
