Unknowingly, an hour had already passed. Although Zhong Yunxi was very happy, she still felt sleepy, and this small yawn reminded Xiao Nan of the time.
"Aiya, it's already so late. I'm going back. I'll help you put away the cup."
"No need, let me do it." Zhong Yunxi wanted to stop him, but she could not stop the lively Xiao Nan. She took the cup and directly went to the kitchen.
"Oh yeah, sister Yun Xi, what did you say you wanted to give me just now, help me get it."
"Oh, okay." Zhong Yunxi walked into the bedroom and started searching. had prepared that for herself, it was a medicine to calm one's mind, she would always have nightmares about it.
"Here, take one. I'll go get you tomorrow morning." The little pill was given to Xiao Nan.
"Wow, that looks really high class. Thanks, see you tomorrow." Xiao Nan took the medicine and disappeared, returning to her normal appearance.
Zhong Yunxi also laughed helplessly. This little girl was too cute, if only she had such a little sister. It was a pity that Zhong Yu was not like this back then.
He also needed to sleep early, and tomorrow morning, he would welcome the final result.
There were not many world-class Perfume Contest, so every match would become an intense competition. The annual competition was an extremely rare opportunity for every incense master, so it was naturally very intense.
Zhong Yunxi solemnly placed the small bottle of perfume into a small and exquisite box. It was locked and ready to be handed over, and this was the result of her one month experience. "You will give me a good result, right?"
Zhong Yunxi took a deep breath, then picked up the small box and walked out. Sure enough, she saw Xiao Nan already waiting for him, holding the same box in her hands, it should be her work.
"Prepared so early? Did you sleep well last night? "
"I slept very well. It's a good thing I have your medicine with me. I feel like I'm in a very good mood right now. Let's go." Xiao Nan took Zhong Yunxi's arm.
Because Zhong Yunxi liked peace and quiet, she rarely appeared in this place with many people. Other than the first day, this was the second time she saw everyone here.
"All contestants, please place your boxes on the platform with your names written on it and wait for your test."
One after another, small boxes were placed on the display tables. These display tables were all lit up with lights, making the already exquisite boxes appear even more radiant.
After finding her seat, Zhong Yunxi sat down. Xiao Nan was just not too far away from him, people were not allowed to watch the announcement of the results of the evaluation. As a result, only the participants were allowed in, and only after the results were announced would the reporters and their families be allowed to come in.
The evaluators and experts on the stage had already started the first round of the recipe's screening. Watching the lights on the booths go out one by one, Zhong Yunxi knew that those lights that were extinguished were the people who were eliminated.
Outside the base, He Ziming had just arrived. When he found Gu Cheng with great difficulty, he saw him holding a big bouquet of flowers and waiting.
"Wow, this bouquet of flowers, how many people are afraid that you will become a love rival?" He Ziming joked as he looked at Gu Cheng. For Zhong Yunxi's matter, he had intentionally rushed over from S Nation, just so that she could surpass Zhong Yunxi and realize her dream.
"Let them be at ease. I don't have any interest in their talents."
"I think there are quite a few people who are interested in you over there."
"I'm not interested in them either." Gu Cheng's eyes did not even turn as he stared inside, waiting for the cheers to come. When he heard the cheers, he would be able to go in and celebrate for Zhong Yunxi, it must be her who won the championship.
"A month's time has finally passed just like this. Yunxi is about to come out."
"Yeah, she's coming back." He clearly missed her, but at this time, Gu Cheng didn't want her to come out of this training ground so quickly.
"Are you going to tell her about that?" He Ziming turned his head to look at Gu Cheng. He had already told him everything that had happened over there, whether or not Zhong Yunxi knew about it all.
"Yunxi said that she was going to travel here. She said that that person had nothing to do with her, so it's better not to let her know. Why bother her?" Mentioning this matter, Gu Cheng's face turned ugly. Because of this decision, he had already lost sleep for several days.
"Are you afraid that she will trouble you or that she will waver? Are you afraid that she will run back regardless of everything if she finds out about this?" He Ziming stood in front of him and interrogated him. Although he did not wish for Zhong Yunxi to know about this either, if he had to make a choice, he would definitely choose to let Zhong Yunxi know.
"No matter what she's afraid of, she shouldn't know about this, right?" Gu Cheng put the flowers aside and pulled at his tie impatiently.
"But you clearly know that if she had a choice, she would definitely want to know about this. If you keep it a secret like this, what would she think when she found out?"
"Originally, I was too concerned about her feelings that I let her stay in S country. However, you don't even know how much suffering I've had these days. If she knew about this, you and I would both know, she would definitely run over to that person's side. He Ziming, I don't dare to bet. "
Of course, He Ziming knew what he was feeling conflicted about, he also knew that Gu Cheng's thoughts were simple and kind. If he had the confidence, he would not hide it from them, furthermore, this matter happened so suddenly, and caused others to panic. No one would have thought that it would happen so quickly.
"Forget it, let's wait for her to come out first. We can think about it later. Telling her won't change anything." He Ziming also did not plan to force him any further. Even if he were to say it out loud, he did not know what to say about this matter.
Now that the competition had reached its third round, with only five lamps still lit up, Zhong Yunxi's eyes had been fixated on his own stage. The lights on top of the stage were still lit, and not far away, Xiao Nan's stage was also still lit.
Looks like Xiao Nan's strength was indeed very strong. When she said that to me previously, I thought that she was joking, but now it seems that she isn't, she really does have a very strong ability.
"First of all, congratulations to the contestants on the platform who are still lit up by the five lamps. We will now take a break of 20 minutes between ourselves. After discussion, the judges will begin the final evaluation."
Finally, it was time for everyone to rest. Some people sighed in relief, while others felt sad, while Zhong Yunxi relaxed her tense nerves. This was the first time she was participating in a competition this big, and although she appeared very calm, she was actually very nervous in her heart.
"Xiao Nan, what do you think?" Zhong Yunxi nervously held her hand. After all, it was not the first time Xiao Nan participated in the competition, so she should be much stronger than her.
"Sister Yun Xi, you're so nervous. It's okay."
"I don't think you're nervous at all."
"It's not like I've participated in it for the first time. Actually, I've been able to reach this stage every year. It's just that I haven't been able to take first place. I know the strength of these people. My greatest opponent is actually you."
"So that's the case. However, I feel that you might be able to become the champion this year." Zhong Yunxi laughed, although she herself also wanted to be the champion, but after arriving here, she felt that she did not have that much strength anymore.
"Then let's wait and see. Even if you win, I will still be very happy." The two of them consoled each other, and time passed quickly.
Finally, it was the final segment. The remaining five boxes on the stage were all brought to the forefront. The judges stood in a row behind the boxes, ready to begin the final judgement.
Zhong Yunxi clenched her fists tightly, beads of perspiration forming on her palms. Looking at the judge on the stage, she opened the first box, the perfume inside was light blue.
The lid was gently opened, and Zhong Yunxi, who was not far away, immediately smelt a faint fragrance. From this distance, the smell of the perfume should be very strong, and after she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, Zhong Yunxi could roughly smell what the main medicinal herbs were.
The evaluators on the stage looked at each other, they seemed to have written something down in a book, and then walked towards the other bottle, the procedure was the same, but when Zhong Yunxi smelt it, the recipe was a little more complicated than the previous bottle.
Since the first two bottles had already gone past, Zhong Yunxi did not feel that much of a threat, and the next bottle was already Xiao Nan's, Zhong Yunxi unconsciously sat up straight.
Zhong Yunxi watched as the bottle's cap was opened, but the smell that Zhong Yunxi smelled was extremely faint, like there was something inside, but also seemed to be nothing inside, to the point that she couldn't even tell what it was used on.
Although she did not take first place, she was always second. Xiao Nan did not take the perfume first place for nothing, it was really unexpected for her.
The faces of the evaluators on the stage turned clear. According to his knowledge, the judges in Perfume Contest would change every year, in order to protect the fairness of the competition.
Seemingly satisfied with Xiao Nan's perfume, the evaluators placed the box down and pushed it forward at the same time. Zhong Yunxi immediately noticed that Xiao Nan seemed to be clenching her hands in excitement.
Could it be that this pushing forward meant something special?
The evaluators walked towards the next bottle of perfume, but their expressions were not very special, Zhong Yunxi did not try to smell it anymore, because the last bottle was her, Zhong Yunxi felt even more nervous.
Her heart was also beating faster. She nervously swallowed as she watched the judges talk, record, and then walked to the next bottle, her perfume. She opened the box and took out the bottle of perfume without any color.
Even Xiao Nan turned her head towards her in shock. Why did they all have such a huge reaction? Was it strange that she had made such a colorless perfume?
When she opened the bottle of perfume, there was no smell coming out. She saw that everyone around her was leaning forward to investigate her perfume.
But Zhong Yunxi only looked at the evaluators' expressions nervously. She did not understand what was going on, but it was more serious than her own expression.
Although her perfume couldn't be said to be perfect, there definitely wouldn't be any other problems. However, why did she feel that the judges' expressions were so strange?
Time passed second by second, Zhong Yunxi's expression became even more nervous, these people did not even put down their perfume, what were they researching?
Finally, when they put down the perfume bottle, Zhong Yunxi felt that his hands were sweating profusely, but their next action really made Zhong Yunxi's heart jump to her throat.
They actually pushed their perfume forward.
