You Are My Only Sunshine

“Hmm, he already has half a foot into the grave. He can survive on just liquified vitamins right?”

“I have no clue man. I think we should just give it a shot?” Bai Lang’s gaze landed on him, completely serious.

“This… isn’t too good, is it?” Hesitation struck Shang Shi for a moment. It quickly disappeared, “I guess we could give it a try…”

Now, worry stirred within Bai Lang, “But… what if he dies?”

“How can that be? We will secretly make this happen. Should the weird symptoms start showing, we just have to bring him back immediately!”

“You’re right! Let’s do this!” Bai Yan decisively set the plan to stone. A sinister smirk on their faces, they smiled at each other.

Suddenly, chills ran down their spines. They saw a pair of sharp, malicious eyes, which seemed to stare straight into their souls, glaring at them from the half-dead body of Yun Long.

…

Having locked herself into the laboratory for the past two days, Mo Yun finally made significant progress.

“Such an enticing fragrance! What’s this?” Bai Yan, who had just left his room, felt a gentle fragrance entering his nostrils

Shang Shi also took a long sniff, “I’m smelling twinges of a lemony smell.”

“But, the scent seems lighter than lemons and is much more comfortable.” As if he was addicted, Bai Yan stalked the scent down the stairs.

Similarly, Shang Shi could not help but follow the trail to its origins.

A peculiar sight greeted Mo Yun as she walked out from her lab. Two fully grown men were sniffing the area like dogs. The moment Bai Lang’s eyes landed on the scientist, they lit up, “This scent must have come from you, am I right? What have you done, why does it smell so good?”

This fragrance was so heavenly that it put even the most expensive perfumes to shame!

Most importantly for them, a gentle whiff was all it took to rejuvenate the mind and soul.

For the past few days, both Shang Shi and he had been the victims of the bile from Yun Long’s body. Right now, their bodies and minds were befouled by the venomous vomit. When the pleasant fragrance entered their body, they felt each cell within them detoxifying, their entire body livening up, and even their soul brightening.

That euphoria was out of this world.

“Miss Mo, what perfume you are using?” Shang Shi was puzzled. In the eyes of a man’s man, every fragrance must be from perfume.

“It’s not perfume, but a type of aromatic essence. It smells great, right?” Mo Yun’s smile widened as she introduced them.

“Delightful. What essence did you make?” Anticipation filled Bai Lang as he probed further.

Mo Yun had no intentions to keep it a secret. Quickly, she stretched out her palm, revealing a petite, glass. “Actually, it’s a shower gel. When bathing, this gel not only rejuvenates the skin, it also removes any unwanted odours. But, I only made a little. Just this much.”

Within it, a tiny amount of pale yellow liquid laid. What’s more, the bottle had a spraying mechanism. Curiously, Bai Yan took it over and, instantly, a eureka moment struck, “You said, this can remove odours?”

“En,” Mo Yun’s head bobbed.

“Can I… try it out?” Again, Bai Lang asked hopefully.

Nodding again, Mo Yun replied, “Sure.”

The moment she agreed, Bai Lang impatiently slathered himself with the aromatic essence.

Watching her precious creation sprayed everywhere like a perfume, Mo Yun’s heart ached and she hurriedly said, “Eh… this isn’t a perfume…”

“My goodness! I think there isn’t a single speck of foul odour left! Stone, give me a whiff! I bet I smell amazing now, right?” Bai Lang excitedly smelt his wrists and ecstatically exclaimed to Shang Shi.

Shang Shi took a gentle whiff, after hearing his words, and found a revitalizing aroma filling his mind. The repulsive stench of the sludge-like vomit was completely removed.

“Give it to me!!” Shang Shi’s hand whipped towards Bai Lang. He needed this as well; he had to rid himself of the foul odour too.

“Alright.” Bai Lang generously sprayed the essence on Shang Shi.

Alas, no pale-yellow liquid remained.

Not even a single drop.

Shang Shi: Fuck! Why does tragedy always fall on me?
