Chapter 125: It's Her
Dai Chuchen looked at her bearded and staring at her, laughed at her and said, "Look at your dress today, where is the femininity?" ”
"You!" She pointed to Dai Chuchen's nose and stared at her for a long time speechless.
Xia Chongming lowered his head and looked at the simple and sloppy dress on his body, like a child, without the feeling of a mature woman, she is almost a second person, and she will be nineteen after this year's birthday, so dressing up is indeed a little inconsistent with her age.
She admitted that she came out today and was in a hurry and didn't dress up properly. But if you ask yourself, Xia Chongming is also in such a state on weekdays, but she has never noticed it.
What Dai Chuchen said was right, but in such a crowded place, let alone in front of a perfume shop, she could admit that she was not feminine. You can't even think about it with your toes! She is also a person who loves beauty and has self-esteem!
So she dragged Dai Chuchen's arm and walked inside, muttering in her mouth: "Today, for the sake of you accompanying me to relax, I won't worry about you, let's go, just take a look." I'm just going to buy a bottle to use! ”
Dai Chuchen followed Xia Chongming and walked in, he knew that Xia Chongming would definitely go here to take a look. Don't look at Xia Chongming's usual swagger on the surface, but his inner thoughts are indeed very delicate, and this characteristic can only be found in Xia Chongming.
The two of them entered the store, and the wooden cabinets were stacked like rows of different books in a library, except that this time the shelves were not books, but bottles of perfume.
There were perfume brands in front of these perfumes, and there was an empty bottle similar to a light bulb next to it, Xia Chongming picked one up and smelled it. The unusually fragrant smell came to the face, and the bottle seemed to have been sprayed with perfume in advance so that customers could smell it in advance.
This smell is like a bamboo forest after the rain, mixed with the aroma of soil and bamboo leaves, refreshing, but in addition to this, there is another smell, which Xia Chongming can't smell, Xia Chongming feels that this smell is the main body of the perfume, because she smelled this smell and her whole person became very relaxed, and the appearance of the bamboo forest also appeared in her mind, the rain fell on the bamboo leaves, slid down the leaves to the ground, dripped to the ground, and splashed a layer of water.
She closed her eyes and savored the smell, the perfume in this shop was simply magical. Although Xia Chongming hadn't been to a perfume shop much, the smell made her very comfortable. Although it didn't smell good, it made her whole person very relaxed, as if at that moment she forgot her sorrow and was lost in the bamboo forest.
It took a long time for her to open her eyes, put the glass bottle back in its place, and looked at the pale yellow perfume in front of her, which was printed with a few delicate bamboo leaves. She looked at the name on the name tag--- Qingyu.
This is really a wonderful name, although it is just two simple words, but Xia Chongming actually found the taste of Fang Cai from this name, and the bamboo forest after the rain seemed to appear in front of her eyes again.
She hurriedly greeted Dai Chuchen beside her, pointed to the bottle of "Qingyu" and said, "Dai Chuchen!" Come and smell this, it tastes amazing! ”
Dai Chuchen came over when he heard the sound, picked up the empty bottle sprayed with perfume and took a deep breath, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said with a surprised face: "Oh my God, this smell actually reminds me of the bamboo forest after the rain, it's amazing!" ”
"yes, that's what I thought!" Xia Chongming agreed with Dai Chuchen's point of view and nodded vigorously.
She turned around and looked at the various perfumes around her, and suddenly her curiosity was great. What do they smell like? She remembered seeing several more exotic names on the flyer, among which the name "Yesterday's Flower" made her curious.
What kind of flowers are yesterday's flowers? Is it like the direction of a rose, or is it the withering of a fallen flower? Is it the dew on the flowers, or the residual fragrance of the sunset?
She really couldn't wait to check it out, and at this moment it seemed that it was no longer a simple perfume shop, but more like a "scent library". She's going to try, she's going to explore, she's going to make associations, she's going to read the stories behind these smells.
"Come, brother, look at this." After saying that, the other bottle attracted Xia Chongming's attention, she picked it up, put it next to her nose and tasted it carefully, and beckoned Dai Chuchen.
Dai Chuchen looked at her happy appearance, smiled and leaned over. There really is no harm in bringing her here, but now it seems that it is full of benefits, because Xia Chongming looks so happy at this moment. It was clear that she loved it and that they weren't in the wrong place.
He said: "You see you still say that you don't like perfume, isn't that interesting, if you don't come, you will lose." ”
"Then I have to thank you! Right? Xia Chongming tilted his head to look at Dai Chuchen and put the bottle in his hand to his nose.
"No thanks, no thanks! Which of us is with whom! ”
The two of them shuttled between these various smells, and they would pick up this one and look at it, and then pick up that one and smell it. Xia Chongming smelled almost all the perfumes she could see, and each one was so unexpected and so lingering.
It's just that she hasn't seen the perfumes she cares about very much, they go to the deepest part of the store, the more they feel the smell is more complicated, Xia Chongming can still distinguish how many smells there are before, but the more and more smells are mixed together, she can no longer tell what is inside.
But despite all these smells mixed together, she still didn't feel the slightest bit unpleasant, but instead the flavors would be unexpectedly blended perfectly, giving her an even more amazing experience.
The more she shopped, the more energetic she became, and Dai Chuchen behind her gradually increased with her interest. The two men shuttled through rows of wooden cabinets, and finally made it to the last row.
The bottles in this row are noticeably more beautiful and distinctive than the previous ones, and the name of the perfume here is even more flowery. Like the "mud red" and "yesterday's flowers" that Xia Chongming saw before, they are all placed in this row.
And in the center of this place is a bottle of lilac perfume, this perfume is very beautiful, although it is lavender, but the bottom of the perfume is the kind of purple, one gradually turned into lilac, from a distance the bottle of perfume seems to have some sparkling things in it, it looks like the vast galaxy.
In front of the bottle of perfume was a name--- Confusion.
You don't have to ask to know that this bottle should be the signature of this store, or the treasure of the town store. After all, the name is exactly the same as the name of the store, and it is also placed in the C position.
On one side of this row of cabinets stood a woman, wearing a champagne-colored modified cheongsam, carrying a satchel that was quite expensive at a glance.
She stood in front of the shelf, looking up at the perfume in front of her. The back of this person gave Xia Chongming a rather familiar feeling, although she had secretly thought of a person in her heart, but the styles of the two were too different, and she couldn't tell whether it was that person or not.
She didn't pay attention to the middle-aged woman, but looked at Dai Chuchen, pointed to the melancholy perfume in front of her and said, "Look, is this the signature item of this store?" ”
"It should be......" Dai Chuchen looked a little stiff, his eyes looked stunned, and he didn't look in the direction of Xia Chongming's finger at all, but looked at the richly dressed woman with his back to them with some surprise.
Xia Chongming looked at him like this, her face was full of doubts, she shook his arm and asked, "Dai Chuchen?" What's wrong? ”
At this moment, the woman who had been standing in front of the cabinet also happened to turn around, her face was painted with retro makeup, a pair of eyebrows were clearly outlined, her mouth was filled with red, the corners of her eyes were wrinkled, but not many, her skin still looked bright, and it was well maintained at first glance.
Her eyes were sharp towards Xia Chongming and Dai Chuchen, Xia Chongming was also stunned the moment he saw her, this person was really the one she had in mind! But she clearly remembered that her original temperament was very weak, her face was always very poor, and her dress was always very simple, which was very different from the image standing in front of her now!
Dai Chuchen's mouth closed one by one, and he took Xia Chongming's hand that hooked his arm, and hesitantly spit out a word in his mouth: "Mom......"
That middle-aged woman is none other than Dai Chuchen's mother, Zhao Xueling! Dai Chuchen didn't expect Zhao Xueling to be here at all, Zhao Xueling didn't come with him when he came back, she should have stayed in Country F and enjoyed her glorious and rich life! Since she had the title of the chief lady of country F, she has never been to a place like Gulou Street, and she looks down on these perfumes that are not on the table at all.
Zhao Xueling's appearance here was really unexpected by the two.
Xia Chongming looked at Zhao Xueling's rich and noble appearance in front of him, and it was really difficult to admit that this was the previous Aunt Zhao Xueling Zhao. Because she has always been good friends with Dai Chuchen, she naturally met Zhao Xueling, but the original Zhao Xueling, although she was a very beautiful person at first glance, her face was always sallow, and she really looked submissive.
Aunt Zhao always wears the simplest and cheapest clothes, and the wrinkles on her face are piled up one by one on the corners of her eyes and mouth, and at a glance, the heavy responsibility of family life is placed on her shoulders. But at this moment, Zhao Xueling's dress is so ostentatious, as if she is invisibly telling passers-by around her that she is very rich.
Her momentum was completely above everyone, and the eyes that looked at Xia Chongming were so contemptuous that it even made Xia Chongming feel that she was looking down on her.
Is this still the previous Aunt Zhao?
"Auntie is so ......" Xia Chongming greeted Zhao Xueling in a polite manner. This is Zhao Xueling menacing, if it weren't for Xia Chongming's previous acquaintance with her, he really didn't want to say hello to Zhao Xueling like this.
The original Zhao Xueling always smiled softly when she saw her, and she didn't put disgust on her face so obviously. What Xia Chongming didn't expect was that she directly ignored her greetings and glared at her fiercely.
Xia Chongming was a little furious by her glare, and quickly stopped his mouth and retreated behind Dai Chuchen.
Zhao Xueling stepped on the heel of her shoes and walked over, questioned Dai Chuchen and said, "Didn't you say that you were going back to school?" Now you don't know your situation, why are you still with her? ”
Dai Chuchen's eyes drooped, he didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Xueling, and he didn't dare to say a word of resistance at all. He hesitated for a long time before he raised his head and said in a very weak tone: "Mom, why are you back?" Why don't you tell me? Didn't you say you couldn't come......"
