The rain started again; it had stopped earlier that morning.

Lin Gantang was sitting on a rocking chair with a tabby cat in her arms, admiring the scenery.

The Yuanshui River was shrouded in a curtain of misty rain. From where she sat, the Ferris wheel seemed quite far, blocked by the misty showers.

The rain pelted down with a vengeance, drowning the world.

The food Aunt Zhong had prepared before she left was still warm; Sweet Wine was sleeping in the cat basket while Big Mi was dozing off in Lin Gantang’s arms.

The wind suddenly changed, and rain began to spill onto the balcony. Lin Gantang got up, carrying Big Mi away with her.

“Meow-” Big Mi tilted its head and jumped to its cat basket. It scratched its head on the edge of the before settling down.

Lin Gantang stretched, too lazy to move. She lay on the sofa and pulled a blanket to drape over her using her toes.

Wen Yanqing had used the blanket, and it still smelled of him. Lin Gantang buried her head in the blanket, inhaling his heady scent; her body snuggled between the sofa and blanket.

Bei Bei texted her via WeChat excitedly, [ Are you done? Are you done? ] [Today, I’ll recommend a new to you. The Tyrannical Marshal Fell in Love with Me!]

Lin Gantang: [ What the hell? ]

[ It’s a space opera. It’s fairly conventional, but the premise is interesting. ] Bei Bei sent Lin Gantang a whole reading list.

[ I can’t finish reading all of this! There’s too many to go through… ] Lin Gantang felt helpless.

[ Pick what you like from the list. ] Bei Bei had pulled her into a trap. [ I know you like those rich, loyal, handsome male leads. The one I just sent should match your tastes; it’s just the kind of thing to spice up your life. ]

[ I already have someone like that; it’s my boyfriend. ]

Bei Bei was speechless.

Bei Bei decided to wake the lovesick woman. [ Is there such a thing in real life? Can salvation be achieved in this mundane world? No! Novels are the only way! How can a man in real life be as good as one from a ? ]

[ Who said a man like that is a myth? That is the exact description of my boyfriend. ] Lin Gantang was immensely pleased with herself. [ My boyfriend is the real deal; he’s everything you could hope for in a man and more. Bei Bei, have you ever had feelings for someone? Imagine that person holding you in their arms; what would it feel like? What would he smell like? ]

[ Now you’re just showing off! Fine. I admit Wen Yanqing is quite the catch. ] Bei Bei grumbled. [ Men are all stinky! What sort of smell could they possibly have? Is your brain working right, or has love befuddled you? ]

[ No, ] Lin Gantang refuted. [ Yanqing smells like the sea, the spring wind. He smells like fine pine and reminds me of the ocean whenever I close my eyes. ]

[ What scent is he using? It sounds amazing. ] Bei Bei admitted.

[ It’s nothing like that. It’s his natural fragrance; I smell it even after he showers. ]

Bei Bei swiftly changed the topic, [ Oh, I’ve just showered- ]

Lin Gantang:

Bei Bei had been reading Lin Gantang’s messages earnestly, her interest piqued. [ You mean you’re not joking? Is there really such a thing? ]

[ What? Did you think I was pulling your leg? ] Lin Gantang asked.

[ I read a book that said how we’re attracted to people depends on our genes. The greater their genetic make-up differs from each other, the more unique the scent they produce is, making it more likely for them to feel an attraction to each other. ]

Bei Bei’s excitement reached a feverous pitch. [ The fewer similarities there are between the genes of two people, the more robust their offspring’s immune system. That’s why natural selection creates a certain bias, guiding us to the other half that best suits our genetic make-up. ]

Lin Gantang was surprised. [ I didn’t know you read proper books. ]

Bei Bei: [ No, no. Haven’t you read The Sweet Pheromone? ]contemporary romance

Lin Gantang looked at the book list that Bei Bei had sent over. Weren’t they discussing science just a moment ago?

She had almost believed Bei Bei’s nonsense..
