Gorgeous counters, women wearing exquisite high heels, busty women in short skirts walking down the streets of smooth marble floor. The prices of the goods sold here were expensive, even a small bottle of moisturizer could cost a few hundred, even going up to a few thousand. Men couldn’t understand how women could buy these things.

In fact, the more outrageous the price was, the more people would want to buy it. Fashionable women, urban beauties, rich ladies, and high class aunties all wanted to own branded items. Some people wouldn’t know how to buy or even discuss about these items.

“There’s a National Day discount, I’ve always wanted to buy some new cosmetics!” A girl in an off-shoulder short green dress said. “My classmate has the full set, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Her skin looks so good all year round no matter the season.”

Looking at the cosmetics in front of her, her eyes sparkled in delight, excitedly taking in the sights. Da Luo walked beside her, watching her hair sway and her excited smile. How he wished he was the owner of the building so that he could let her choose and take all that she wanted.

“Miss, this is the most famous perfume from France, moisturizing and very fragrant.” The salesgirl said, smiling as she explained. “The smell is very unique, and only people who are close to you will be able to smell it. It is very suitable for couples who are exceptionally close to each other, please have a sample.”

“So, in other words, it’s a couple fragrance?” The girl asked.

“Yes, you may spray some on yourself and let the gentlemen beside you have a whiff.” The salesgirl replied, still smiling.

“Alright.” The girl said, spritzing the bottle toward her arm and neck, turning to Da Luo after that. “Come smell it.”

Da Luo scratched his head, glancing around hesitantly at the people around them.

“Sir, you need to get a bit closer.” The salesgirl said encouragingly.

“Oh, alright.” Da Luo said, leaning in toward the girl.

“Closer!” The girl said crossly.

Da Luo’s face was already red. Even though Shui Mo had agreed to be his girlfriend, he had not really touched her before, let alone lean into her neck to smell the perfume. Shui Mo was wearing an off-shoulder dress, if he leaned in any further, he would practically be pressing his face against her pale neck!

“How does it smell?” Shui Mo asked excitedly.

“Oh, let me smell it again.” Da Luo replied distractedly.

“Are you doing this on purpose?” Shui Mo said crossly. “I’ll give you one more chance!”

Da Luo laughed nervously, and he leaned in to smell it properly this time. Girls have a naturally unique smell on their bodies which you can smell if you leaned close. Leaning closer, Da Luo could smell an intoxicating fragrance, making him feel as if he had sunk into a soft, fragrant ocean. He could feel an unexplainable excitement building up within him.

It was too perfect. Da Luo had not had a good feeling about this luxurious perfume at the beginning. It was just a little smell that cost a lot of money. However, when he personally smelled it, especially on the girl that he liked, it felt as though he owned her completely.

The salesgirl was smart, and seeing that Da Luo didn’t know how to proceed further with their relationship, she leaned in and whispered, “The scent is not that outstanding, but you should understand the real meaning behind it?”

Da Luo nodded solemnly, he had been thinking for the longest time on how to be more intimate with Shui Mo, but at a more natural speed rather than making her dislike physical contact. He had never imagined that a small bottle of perfume would help him achieve this fact.

“Let’s get this then?” Shui Mo said, her eyes sparkling as she looked toward Da Luo.

“Sure.” Da Luo nodded.

“You’re the best!” Shui Mo exclaimed, hugging him tightly.

Da Luo laughed in happiness. It was a bit expensive, but it was no matter. He just needed to sleep a little less, get more orders, and he could earn it back.

***

Da Luo took out his credit card to make the payment.

“Sorry sir, it seems there’s insufficient funds on this card.” The salesgirl said with an apologetic smile.

“What, there should be about 3,000 in there...” Da Luo said, faltering slightly.

Shui Mo looked at Da Luo from the side with some hesitation. Da Luo was beginning to panic a little and took the card back saying, “Maybe they forgot to bank it in to this card, let me give them a call.”

“Alright, I’ll go look around some more.” Shui Mo nodded.

Da Luo walked a bit further away, dialing the number for the Taobao store owner swiftly.

“Hey Boss Zheng, my commission from last month, you haven’t banked it in yet?” Da Luo asked.

The payment normally came in at the end of each month, but Da Luo had been busy trying to break the record these past few days that he didn’t pay much attention as to whether the money had come in or not.

“Yeah, I’ll bank it in a bit later. I haven’t received the money on my end either.” Boss Zheng replied.

“I’m kind of in a pinch and need it right now, could you transfer it now?” Da Luo asked.

“And I’m not in a pinch? Somebody decided to disappoint me and I’m finding it hard to get orders now. Hurry up and break that record or we’re done!” Boss Zheng replied.

“Boss Zheng, a 25 win streak is not that easy to beat. Even if you were to get a professional player to do it, it might not be possible for them either. From a 17 win streak onward, the opponents are highly skilled, if your teammates are careless, it would become a 4 vs 6 and the game is basically done...” Da Luo explained.

“I don’t care about the technicalities. Wasn’t your nickname Passerby Killer? If you can’t break this record, then your commission will be the same as the other players.”

“Then...then just transfer my previous month’s commission first, I really need the money right now.” Da Luo said.

“After National Day, my other store is shipping things and I don’t have the money now.”

Boss Zheng hung up right after, not giving Da Luo any time to respond. Da Luo’s face was red with anger and frustration. With such a big store in Taobao, he didn’t believe that the latter couldn’t transfer out one or two thousand!

Da Luo didn’t have any choice, however. There were many players who were willing to be boosters, and Boss Zheng was using this fact to deliberately lower the amount of commission promised to him. As expected from a profiteer!

“Is everything okay?” Shui Mo asked in a small voice. “If not, let’s forget it and look at other things?”

“They’re having some problems with the finances. Don’t worry, I just need to make another call.” Da Luo smiled to reassure her.

Da Luo walked away again, contemplating about who else he could call. Working during the day and being a booster at night, he had been living this lifestyle for so long and he couldn’t think of any friends who were willing to lend him any money now. Besides, it was highly doubtful that they would go to the bank on National Day to transfer funds to him.

“Here, your juice.” Luocheng passed the drink to Qianqian.

Qianqian’s eyes lit up as she smiled, drinking the juice. Even just drinking juice, she looked cute, Luocheng thought, and wondered what flavor her lips would taste like.

“Lin Dong, this is yours.” Luocheng passed a Coke to him.

Setting down his phone, Lin Dong eyed Luocheng.

“What’s wrong?” Luocheng asked, looking at the phone.

“It’s Da Luo. He asked me to lend him 1,500 yuan, he needs it urgently.” Lin Dong replied.

“Then transfer it to him.” Luocheng said matter of factly.

“I’m using my phone to make the transfer. Such a backwater guy, he doesn’t even know that we can use our phones to do a transfer, expecting me to fly to the bank.” Lin Dong said. “Oh, he’s on Zhongshan Road, the front part.”

“We could head over.” Luocheng said. “We can also inform him that I’ll be putting my name into the team.”

“Sure.”
