Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Looking at Shen Fanxing, the hatred and excitement in Shen Qianrou’s eyes intensified.
After receiving Shen Fanxing’s creation, the judges continued with their usual procedures. They took a whiff of the scent and sent her meaningful looks.
Shen Qianrou clenched her fists nervously.
Her gaze was fixated on the judge but there was no reaction from them.
When Elaine smelt the scent on the paper, she asked doubtfully, “Huh?”
Shen Qianrou stared at her intently. She had noticed?
Yet, Elaine only shook the testing paper before bringing it to her nose to smell it again. She let out an even louder sound of doubt.
“Huh?!”
She raised his head to look at Shen Fanxing, only to see a faint smile on her face. Her eyes reflected a refreshing smile.
“What’s your theme?” asked Elaine.
Shen Fanxing looked into her deep eyes and replied in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, “Let’s live together. Living together.”
The first half of her explanation was in Mandarin while the second half was in French.
Elaine’s eyes lit up and she placed the paper on the tip of her nose again before nodding frantically.
“Living,” he said awkwardly in Mandarin. Then, he looked at Shen Fanxing excitedly and rattled away in French.
“Live together… I can feel it… It’s like a blooming vine that is tightly wrapped around a towering tree. Without the tree, the vine will not live. And without the flowers on the vine, the huge tree will lose its shine and become dry and lonely. Only by having each other can one live more spectacularly, right?!”
Shen Fanxing nodded as her eyes sparkled.
It wasn’t easy to meet someone who understood her creation.
When the three other judges heard this, they couldn’t help but nod their heads.
Indeed, the theme of the scent was obvious.
And what Elaine had described just now had simply and clearly displayed a beautiful concept of life and death.
A scent or perfume itself brought feelings of entanglement. It was refreshing yet passionate.
Living together happened to be the theme as well.
They already had an answer.
But Elaine refused to budge.
“I’ve observed you just now. You concocted more than one. You concocted two scents. Where’s the other bottle?”
Shen Fanxing scrutinized her and answered in French,
“I don’t intend to use that in the competition because I don’t want to cause trouble now.”
Elaine was puzzled. “Why would it cause trouble?”
Shen Fanxing pressed her lips and contemplated before saying,
“I can let you take a whiff of that scent, but is that against the rules?”
Elaine shook her head firmly. “No!”
Shen Fanxing turned to consult the other three judges. After they agreed, she took out the bottle from the box and dripped it on the testing paper.
Everyone watched the judges doubtfully. What were they doing?
Elaine picked up the paper with the scent and her expression changed drastically when she smelt it.
“This…”
Shen Fanxing looked sorrowful and helpless. In the end, she put a drop of her perfume and dripped it on the same paper.
She shook it lightly before passing it to Elaine. Elain took it and smelt it again, her eyes widening instantly.
She stared at Shen Fanxing in shock and contemplated for a while. Then, her eyes were blazing with fury.
Shen Fanxing shook her head at her before stowing the bottle back into the box.
The other judges couldn’t be bothered with Elaine anymore. They wanted to judge based on their professional knowledge.
Shen Fanxing went to the side of the stage and the emcee stepped forward. “All right, then let’s invite the judges to give our contestant her score.”
Shen Qianrou frowned. How could she have reached this stage?
Did Shen Fanxing realize something?
She didn’t use the formula she had left on the table?
Was she wary of her and came prepared?
