“Sure.” He Miao nodded confidently. She used to be at the top of the industry, so how could she not even be able to smell the back tones of a perfume?

The teachers looked at each other. Although they did not quite believe that a student who had never had experience with fragrance making could smell the back tones of this perfume, they decided to give her a chance since she had said so.

The other two students looked at her in surprise. They had never thought that there would be such a talented person among the students who joined the department at the same time.

It seemed that everyone was destined to be on different starting lines.

Time passed by, and the bean-sized raindrops outside the window finally turned into thin raindrops.

He Miao saw that the scent was almost fading, so she put it back to her nose, closed her eyes, and smiled in enjoyment.

The back tone of this perfume was as warm as spring, and if she felt it carefully, it could even wash away the coldness of her wet body.

This was the charm of the fragrance oil.

“It’s Musk and Ambergris.” He Miao gave an extremely definite answer.

The teacher with the gold-rimmed glasses finally smiled. “You’re right. You’re very suitable for perfume mixing. Come to my class tomorrow.”

“Congratulations, He Miao.” The first teacher shook his head regretfully. “I thought you could come to my class. I didn’t expect you to be snatched away by Old Xu.”

“You can have these two.” Teacher Xu stood up and left, leaving the other teachers looking at each other in dismay.

The teacher saw the students’ confusion and explained, “Don’t be fooled by the fact that our major only has two classes and few students. Mr. Xu is teaching the advanced class, which is much faster than my class.”

He smiled and looked at the two students who belonged to him. “My surname is Lu, Lu Hui. The teacher just now is Xu Zheng, He Miao. The fact that you were chosen by him shows that you have a bright future in fragrance making!”

He Miao thanked Teacher Lu for his praise. Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Hui told them to go back to class. Once the procedures were done, they could officially transfer their majors.

When she returned to the classroom, the sky outside was still gloomy, as if it was foreshadowing a heavy rain.

He Miao had a faint smile on her face the entire time, and that smile lasted until she entered the classroom.

The class had been noisy at first, but when they saw He Miao walk in, they were all stunned on the spot. Many girls gathered together and whispered to each other, discussing whether He Miao’s makeup skills had improved. Otherwise, how could she have suddenly become so beautiful?

Jing Yan was also watching her. He saw her purse her lips and sit back in her seat calmly. Her shirt was still wet from the rain.

“Mu Xiao,” Jing Yan suddenly called out to the person who had been playing with his phone.

Mu Xiao jumped in shock and hurriedly looked up at him. “What’s wrong, Brother Yan?”

“I need to be good to someone,” Jing Yan said. “But I don’t really understand. How you treat your lovers?”

“Hey! Brother Yan, don’t talk nonsense. What do you mean by that? I only like…” Mu Xiao suddenly reacted. “What did you just say?” he asked. Who do you want to be good to?”

He followed Jing Yan’s line of sight and suddenly fixed his eyes on a back that was drenched in rain.

Mu Xiao’s mouth was so wide that an egg could be stuffed in it. Brother Yan? I was wondering why you suddenly left me and went to buy a dog house with her. It turns out that you really like her!”

“I didn’t.” Jing Yan frowned and denied it. He couldn’t explain such a bizarre thing to him, so he could only use the most powerful excuse. “Grandpa asked me to.”

“Your family’s old man even managed to make you do this.” Mu Xiao grumbled, but when he met Jing Yan’s cold eyes, he tactfully shut his mouth.

“Alright, alright. I’ll tell you. It’s for someone’s good after all. The best thing is to offer help when she’s in need. Look at her, she’s all wet. You don’t need me to tell you what to do, do you?” Mu Xiao explained to him with his rich experience, then raised his eyebrows and waited for Jing Yan’s reaction.

Jing Yan furrowed his brows and pondered over his words carefully. Then, he blurted out, “Drink more hot water.”

“?” Mu Xiao facepalmed, speechless. “Brother Yan, where did you learn this from? I don’t think you’ll be able to complete this mission, so you should give up as soon as possible.”

“Why?” Jing Yan looked at him in confusion, demanding a reasonable answer.

“If you want to be good to someone, you have to put in your heart, Brother Yan.” Mu Xiao was really sincere. He spent a long time explaining to him what a girl really cared about, and by the time he finished, his mouth was dry.

Jing Yan still had the same expression on his face, and then he slowly ed, “So troublesome.”
