Chapter 61 - Dog food
The car was silent. Yunfeng sat by the right-side window, his mom was on the left, with Muchen squeezed in between. Thankfully, it was a Maybach, and it had ample seating space. The others were seated behind them, watching the three with interest.
The whole car was filled with the obnoxious scent of lemons and roses. Jai pinched his nose shut. It was overwhelming. I hate perfume!!! Scowling, he glanced at the other guy, who smelled like mango parfait. At least this guy’s scent isn’t as obnoxious.
Shao felt a sharp gaze fall on him. Looking down, he met the eyes of the young man named Jai. "What is it?"
"Nothing," Jai glanced away, still pinching his nose, and continued eating his popcorn. "Is something wrong?" he asked, touching his nose.
"Nah, it just smells in here."
Frowning, Shao sniffed the air. He didn’t smell anything. Since Muchen was sensitive to scents, they’d had to remove the car fresheners and clean it deeply every day. Is he smelling the leather? Even that scent wasn’t that intense.
"Here," he handed Jai a handkerchief. "Don’t pinch your nose."
"Thanks." Jai instantly stuffed his face into the handkerchief. "Oh, thank God. At least your perfume smells good."
"Perfume?" Shao didn’t usually wear perfume. Maybe my laundry smells. He subtly pulled his brown coat close and sniffed. Again, he smelled nothing. Strange... very strange. He gazed at the boy with interest.
Upon closer inspection, he was stunned. The young man had a small angular face with small lips and upturned eyes. When he frowned, he looked quite... good. Wow, why didn’t I notice his face before...
Clearing his throat, he scooted a little closer. "Are you interested in acting?"
