"Lu Yichen is my friend. I asked you out today because I wanted to explain this matter to you in person."
Su Niannian's face flushed instantly. "Oh my god, I actually made a mistake... How embarrassing! I've been following the series for over a year, and I was worried when I didn't see any updates last night."
"Sorry, something delayed me last night."
"It's okay," Su Niannian quickly waved her hand. "Writers need a break too. But...how did you come up with this story? Where did the inspiration come from?"
"The main storyline is the real experience of Lu Yichen and his girlfriend, with some artistic processing and imagination added."
Shi Heng picked up the water cup and used the action of drinking water to hide his expression.
It cannot be said now that those chapters are all about their experiences.
"It's amazing!" Su Niannian praised sincerely, "You can write a true story so touchingly."
At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes.
Boiled fish with red oil, stir-fried carrots and matsutake mushrooms, and pan-fried foie gras, served with seasonal fruits.
"Try this boiled fish, it's their signature dish." Shi Heng picked up the chopsticks and put the tenderest fish belly meat into her bowl.
Su Niannian took a bite and her eyes lit up immediately, "This spicy and fragrant taste... so familiar."
She couldn't help but pick up another chopstick, "The spiciness is just right, and the aroma of the peppercorns is also very strong."
Shi Heng looked at her red face and felt warm in his heart.
Five years have passed, and her love for spicy food has not changed.
He scooped another spoonful of stir-fried carrots and matsutake mushrooms and put it into her bowl.
I ordered this specifically for her, wanting to verify my guess.
really.
Su Niannian naturally picked out the carrots and only ate the matsutake mushrooms.
Shi Heng stared at the picked carrots and paused with his chopsticks.
She still doesn't like carrots as much as before.
The two ate and chatted, talking about everything from food to novel writing.
Su Niannian was surprised to find that Shi Heng, who was always very frugal with words in the clinic, was now talking incessantly about his creative inspiration, and was completely unlike the distant and cold person he seemed when they first met.
"I didn't expect you to be so talkative. When we first met, I thought you were a quiet person."
Shi Heng picked up the teacup and took a sip. "That depends on who you're talking to."
It has never changed from the beginning to the end.
That was all he was willing to say to her alone.
After lunch.
Shi Heng suggested, "Do you want to visit the 'Xiang Yue Tian Cheng' perfume workshop?"
"Okay!" Su Niannian's eyes lit up, "I just want to know more about the writer's daily creative life."
In the car.
Shi Heng also gave her a lot of knowledge about perfume.
Su Niannian listened with great interest.
Before I knew it, the car stopped.
Two modern buildings appear before our eyes.
Su Niannian looked around in surprise, "This place is much bigger than I imagined."
“Well, it has been expanded in recent years.”
Shi Heng walked beside her, deliberately slowing down his pace, "There are more than two hundred perfumers working here now."
"Oh my God!" Su Niannian turned to look at him. "You have to manage such a large company and keep writing. Isn't it tiring?"
"It's really tiring. In fact, I'm considering... handing the company over to a professional team and stepping back."
“That’s great!”
Su Niannian blurted out, then felt a little embarrassed, "I mean... writers really need more time to settle down."
A smile flashed in Shi Heng's eyes, "Come with me, I'll show you a special place."
He took Su Niannian to the distillation area and pointed to a row of copper equipment. "These stills have been used for more than a hundred years."
"So ancient?" Su Niannian moved closer to observe curiously.
“They’re special.”
Shi Heng's voice softened. "Using 'natural resonance' technology, it can capture the most subtle aroma in the air, just like... putting the soul of the perfume into a bottle."
Su Niannian was suddenly stunned.
These words were like a key, gently prying open a corner of her memory.
"What's wrong?" Shi Heng pretended not to notice her abnormality.
"nothing……"
Su Niannian shook her head. "I just feel like... this sentence is so familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before."
Shi Heng's heartbeat quickened.
fine.
She hasn't forgotten it all.
"Maybe I've seen a similar description in a book." Shi Heng said calmly.
"Maybe..." Su Niannian thought thoughtfully.
For some reason, I always feel inexplicably safe when standing next to Shi Heng.
Shi Heng pointed to the workbench and said, "Let's try the basic steps of perfume making?"
He handed Su Niannian a scent strip and said, "Try this first."
When she bent her head to smell the fragrance, a strand of hair fell down.
Shi Heng subconsciously stretched out his hand to help her push it away, but stopped in mid-air and silently withdrew his hand.
“Smells so good!”
Su Niannian looked up in surprise, and met Shi Heng's gaze before he could look away.
That moment.
She felt as if her heart was gently squeezed.
"Do you like it?" Shi Heng stared at her and asked.
Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, he was actually very excited in his heart.
"I love it! What scent is this?"
"The top note is bergamot, the middle note is..."
Shi Heng explained patiently, but his eyes remained on her face.
He seemed to see Youbao who was curious about perfume six years ago.
Su Niannian secretly glanced at his profile while listening.
This man looks serious now...
She actually couldn't take her eyes off it.
"Would you like to try to mix your own perfume?" Shi Heng suggested.
"Is it really possible?" Su Niannian asked in surprise.
