Chapter 60: The Heart-Throbbing Incense Store Manager Sister
“Xiao Han, are you leaving?”
After I clocked out, Tang Yihan Senior finished handling the last few matters in the store and directly came over to stop me.
“Is there something you need, Senior?” I asked curiously but cautiously.
After all, today Tang Yihan Senior was quite upset due to Ying Shiqian, and after getting scared earlier, she was tricked by Ying Shiqian into thinking she could get a new formula. In the end, when she made it and tasted it herself, she almost vomited.
I really feared that if Senior was in a bad mood, it might inadvertently affect me.
“I’ve already talked to the Store Manager about your salary; you should have seen the deposit notification by now, right?”
“Oh, I’ve seen it, thank you, Senior.”
Hearing Senior’s words, I let out a sigh of relief; it turned out to be this. Thankfully, thankfully.
“That’s good to hear. Xiao Han, are you still going to buy incense? I can recommend some stores to you since the quality of incense varies, and you should be careful not to get cheated.”
“Really?!”
Upon hearing Senior’s words, my eyes immediately lit up. After all, I had no experience in buying incense. I was initially just thinking of buying some at random to try, but since there’s a Senior recommending it, wouldn’t that save me a lot of trouble?
“Mm, I’ll send you the location of the store later. I have other matters to attend to, goodbye~”
“Goodbye, Senior, I’m heading off now!”
After bidding farewell to Senior, I went straight to the nearest station. Even though my villa isn’t far from here, I didn’t plan to head back right now.
Since there were no others in the villa, going back would just mean going to bed earlier.
In the meantime, why not go buy some incense to try? Or maybe go to the Meditation Room for a trial?
I checked the time; it was still early. I had learned about the various benefits of the Meditation Room earlier from Senior, and I was indeed tempted. However, going to a professional Meditation Room would cost a fair amount of money.
Soon, my phone vibrated. It seemed that Senior sent me the location.
However, I found the store name a bit strange, “Incense Specialty Store.” Isn’t what I want to buy incense?
Or is incense similar to aromatherapy?
Although I had a lot of doubts, I confirmed the destination and mapped out the bus route.
When I arrived, it still took me a while to find this specialty store.
The shop wasn’t large and was even sandwiched between two big stores.
Once inside, the internal space was elongated, but the decoration was quite exquisite, with many bottled incense on display. Even though they were sealed, I could smell a rich fragrance as soon as I came in.
“Welcome, new customer! What can I do for you?”
At that moment, a voice came from behind. Just hearing this sentence left a bewitching impression on me, as the voice was sweet and soft, almost melting into my bones, just like the alluring incense wafting through the air.
It gave me goosebumps involuntarily.
I turned around and saw a tall, stunningly beautiful witch walking toward me, her footsteps echoing in my mind with a crisp sound.
The delicate dress wrapped around her voluptuous figure, and her every move seemed to embody the elegance of a witch.
Only when she approached me did I finally react.
“Uh… uh, I’m, I’m sorry.”
After I came to my senses, I really wanted to slap myself. How could I act like such a pervert!
So embarrassing.
“Why does the customer apologize so suddenly? I didn’t expect to have a new student visit, and I may have caused you unnecessary trouble.”
The beautiful older sister chuckled softly, seemingly unfazed by my previous embarrassment, and instead took the blame upon herself.
“It has to do with my ability. You were probably a charming boy before, right?”
“Huh?”
Suddenly hearing her say this made my earlier embarrassment evaporate instantly!
Where on earth did I act like a boy!?
Why can all the seniors I meet tell that I used to be a boy!?
“My ability has a deadly attraction for those who identify as female. If you weren’t a boy before, then you must have been a deeply hidden yuri,” she said, nonchalantly reaching out to pinch my cheek while smiling.
“Sorry…”
I instinctively swatted her hand away. As soon as she got close, I felt my heart race.
What kind of ability is this? It’s horrifying.
“You’re so shy; you really do seem like a little boy.” She didn’t seem surprised that I swatted her hand away but instead withdrew her hand and continued to ask me, “So, what do you want from your sister here?”
“I… huff~” I took a few steps back to calm my racing heart before continuing, “I was recommended by Senior to come here and buy incense. Does this Senior have incense?”
After all, after my experiences with the older seniors, I realized there was nothing wrong with calling any senior that I encountered “Senior.”
However, I still wanted to ask about the incense. The most common things displayed here were those liquid aromatherapies, and there were no meditation incense in sight. Could it be that these are the ones?
“Recommended? Oh~ could you tell me who recommended you? Not many customers come here.”
“Um…”
Her question left me unsure of how to respond. Senior didn’t mention whether I could reveal such matters or not. Would it be inappropriate to say it like this?
“Ah, sorry, it’s my fault for prying. Little sister, do you want incense, right? Are you looking for meditation incense?”
“Yes!”
I nodded eagerly, but this also made me realize that there was such a distinction as meditation incense?
Is it true that regular incense cannot be used for meditation?
“Alright, but meditation incense is a bit pricey,” she said, turning to me before going off to get something.
As I watched her leave, I sighed in relief. Of course, that senior seemed very gentle, but I would still unconsciously get nervous in front of her.
Moreover, her ability is too terrifying, right?
Deadly attraction… Thank goodness my self-control is quite good. I reassured myself as I patted my chest. I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but it feels like my chest is a bit fuller?
It should be, right? I’ve been working hard every night these past few days to help it grow faster.
However, since the senior mentioned that incense was a bit expensive, I guessed as much. Looking at the salary that had come in, even if I worked full-time, I’d only earn a little over two hundred a day. After the last few days, my money wasn’t that much.
I hope the incense isn’t too expensive; otherwise, I really can’t afford it. I still want to go to the Meditation Room later to give it a try.
