“Hey!!” Liang Sheng clutched the collar of her shirt tightly. “W-Why? Sister Ou Lu, why do you have to sniff me? Don’t I smell nice?”
“Not nice at all,” Ou Lu said, lifting the girl’s chin. “The perfume on your clothes is way too strong. It’s messing with my sense of smell.”
“T-Then next time, I’ll wear something without any scent…” Liang Sheng stared fearfully into Ou Lu’s eyes. “And you can sniff me then, okay?”
Ou Lu shook her head. “I don’t have time lately. Let’s do it now—hurry up. We’re both girls anyway. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Liang Sheng muttered under her breath, “B-But what if sparks fly or something… Won’t we be in big trouble?”
“Hahaha~” Ou Lu burst out laughing and pinched the girl’s soft cheek. “I’m not like certain people. I have zero interest in minors~”
“But…” Liang Sheng was still hesitating. “Th-This doesn’t feel right.”
Ou Lu crossed her legs, perching on the arm of the sofa. Her leg, clad in sheer black stockings, brushed against Liang Sheng by accident.
Oh no! Was this a seduction tactic? Damn it, bribing her with those gorgeous legs! Liang Sheng gritted her teeth as she stared at Ou Lu’s leg, terrified that drool might drip from her mouth.
“W-Well… it’s not entirely impossible…” In the end, Liang Sheng’s sense of shame crumbled before those black-stockinged legs.
“But,” Liang Sheng made one final request, “can we leave some fabric on?”
“Ding~” Favorability increased.
“Ou Lu’s Favorability towards Liang Sheng: 68”
“Hahaha~” This girl was so amusing. Ou Lu couldn’t resist poking her chubby cheek again. “Of course~ I’m not some kind of female pervert, after all.”
Liang Sheng let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest. “Good, phew~”
“Um, so…” Liang Sheng gave Ou Lu’s slender waist a little push. “Sister Ou Lu, no time like the present. Turn around—I’m going to take my clothes off.”
Ou Lu laughed again. “I’ll see it all in a minute anyway. What’s the point of turning around?”
Liang Sheng kept pushing her. “Just turn around already~ If you watch me, Sister Ou Lu, I’ll get too embarrassed to move.”
“Fine, fine,” Ou Lu finally turned away. “I won’t look. Relax.”
A moment later, Liang Sheng’s trembling voice came from behind her. “S-Sister Ou Lu… y-you can turn back now…”
Without a word, Ou Lu spun around and locked eyes with the green-haired girl standing across from her. The girl wasn’t blushing or showing the slightest bit of shyness.
“Come here~” Ou Lu beckoned Liang Sheng with a crooked finger. “My nose is better than most people’s, but you’re too far away. I can’t smell a thing.”
“Okay…” Liang Sheng scooted a tiny bit closer to Ou Lu.
Ou Lu sighed. It was only natural for her to be shy. With no other choice, Ou Lu took the initiative and slid over to sit beside her.
“Ah, ah!” No matter how thick-skinned Liang Sheng was, a situation like this left her heart pounding with nerves. Instinctively, she shifted backward a little.
Come back here! Ou Lu grabbed Liang Sheng’s arm and pulled her into an embrace.
Oh wow! Liang Sheng’s face flushed red. Ou Lu’s scent was so intoxicating~ It made Liang Sheng feel like she’d had a few drinks—lightheaded and woozy.
Was this how mature, charismatic big sisters operated? So bold and forward?
“Huu~” Ou Lu closed her eyes and leaned in close to Liang Sheng’s face, savoring the girl’s natural fragrance. “Just as I thought. You really do smell amazing~”
“So delicious~” Ou Lu licked her lips. “This is exactly the scent I was after!”
As time passed, Liang Sheng stopped feeling so awkward. With a numb expression, she let Ou Lu have her way—sniffing here, nuzzling there.
While inhaling the delightful aroma, Ou Lu jotted down notes in her mind about potential perfume ingredients.
“Mm, excellent.” Ou Lu patted Liang Sheng’s head in satisfaction. “You did great today. What should I give you as a reward?”
Liang Sheng’s eyes lit up at the words. Playing around and coming home with cash? Yes! Quick, don’t hesitate—give me money, hand it over! Money’s all she needed!
But Ou Lu pondered left and right. Giving cash felt off—like she’d hired some girl in a bunny costume from a shady business card, complete with a phone number.
“How about I treat you to dinner? Or buy you a few cute dresses?” Ou Lu asked affectionately, taking the girl’s hand.
A Zhe, she doesn’t need stuff like that.
Liang Sheng wanted to refuse. She desperately wanted to just ask for money outright, but she still had some pride.
“No need~ Sister Ou Lu,” Liang Sheng said sweetly, playing the part of the adorable girl to perfection. “I’m just happy I could help you~”
“Ding~” Favorability increased.
“Ou Lu’s Favorability towards Liang Sheng: 71”
“No, I insist—let me buy you dinner. You helped me out big time.” Ou Lu took Liang Sheng’s hand, ready to lead her out for a meal.
“Wait, wait!!” Liang Sheng plopped back down on the sofa, blushing furiously. “Sister Ou Lu, I haven’t put my clothes back on yet. Going out like this would be way too risqué. I’m not some hot girl…”
Akino Kazuko snickered in Liang Sheng’s mind. “You call that risqué? Honey, step out like that and you’ll look so drunk off your ass, the cops will haul you straight to the station.”
Liang Sheng ignored her system and hurriedly got dressed.
“Alright, let’s go!” Liang Sheng bounced over and grabbed Ou Lu’s hand.
Ou Lu draped an arm over Liang Sheng’s shoulders. “Come on, I’ll take you somewhere delicious. Dessert? Girls your age love that stuff, right?”
“Yeah! You know me so well, Sister Ou Lu.” Liang Sheng snuggled up against the mature woman at her side.
What could possibly tempt a glutton like Liang Sheng away from sweets? Well, Oreos, of course—except for those.
The two girls left the perfume factory. Just then, Ou Lu’s phone rang.
Liang Sheng sneaked a peek at the screen. There it was, plain as day: “Su Ze.”
So, the big scumbag Su Ze was awake? Would he rat her out?
Liang Sheng instinctively reached to cover her small crossbody bag. It held something crucial—the anti-wolf electric baton.
Huh? Liang Sheng patted herself down left and right, her eyes widening. Slowly, she lowered her head, her heart leaping into her throat.
Her small crossbody bag was gone.
Had it fallen somewhere? Or got left in the woods? Liang Sheng’s mind buzzed. No, wait—she’d pulled out wet wipes from her small crossbody bag to clean her hands when they first toured the perfume factory.
That meant her small crossbody bag was left…
Liang Sheng glanced back, her gaze fixing on the fifth-floor office in the perfume factory—the room where she and Ou Lu had just been.
It had to be there!
She saw that Ou Lu had already answered the phone.
“Sister Ou Lu! I left something in your fifth-floor office!” Liang Sheng broke out in a cold sweat, wrenched herself free from Ou Lu’s arms, and bolted back toward the perfume factory.
