The Interstellar Florist is Very Fragrant Chapter 46.2

Part 2

It wasn’t just people troubled by insomnia and spiritual sea injuries who bought the lavender oil. Other loyal customers of Zhu’s Lingering Fragrance also bought the lavender massage oil to try it out, intending to use it for their lovers.

Lucius and Michele, who had ended their unrequited love because of Freesia, had received the massage oil.

Michele, who had finished washing up, shook the brown bottle in his hand: “Honey, I bought the lavender massage oil from Zhu’s Lingering Fragrance. I’ll let you try it later.”

“Okay. I’ll be in bed in an hour.”

As the end of the year approached, Lucius was very busy. He often worked until 2 or 3 AM and had to wake up at 5 AM, which made Michele feel very sorry for him.

Michele, who followed Zhu’s Lingering Fragrance, saw the massage oil video released by the shop.

The massage techniques in the video looked very relaxing. Not to mention lavender oil has a soothing and sleep-inducing effect. He quickly grabbed the massage oil, intending to let Lucius try it.

An hour later, Lucius lay on the bed with exhaustion.

Michele followed the techniques in the video. After heating the oil with his palms, he used his fingertips to dip into it and massaged Lucius’s temples and the acupoints on the top of his head.

The touch and comfort from his lover made Lucius feel very satisfied.

Not only was his fatigue swept away, but with the dim lights and the lingering fragrance, Lucius also felt another kind of interest rising.

Lucius reached out and pulled Michele down.

He kissed the corner of Michele’s mouth: “Don’t massage my head anymore. Help me massage other places!”

With that, Lucius began to take off his clothes.

Michele hugged the other from behind, and then used his oil-covered hands to move downward…

A night of fusion.

Lavender oil is truly a good thing!

The emergence of aromatherapy products went from public misunderstanding and non-acceptance to a site-wide scramble in just one day.

In the shop comments of Zhu’s Lingering Fragrance, whether it was for the essential oils or the experience rooms, all were uniform positive reviews.

[Aromatherapy is truly magical. After a fragrant sleep, my headache is gone and my emotions are stable.]

[Thanks to the massage oil, my relationship with my boyfriend has taken a step further.]

[Aromatherapy can truly repair the spiritual sea without pain or side effects.]

[Taking a nap in the holographic experience room was truly too comfortable…]

……

Aromatherapy and the specially made essential oil products of Zhu’s Lingering Fragrance had changed from skeptical mysteries to very magical natural plant derivatives in the eyes of the public.

People were slowly accepting the magical treatment method called aromatherapy.

Zhuo Feng, the Operations Director at the headquarters of “Crazy BUY”—another Interstellar shopping platform—captured the fashion trend.

“Aromatherapy? Essential oil products? Star-Purchase is quite capable… to come up with something like this.”

Crazy BUY and Star-Purchase were competitors. Before the Star-Purchase APP was launched, Crazy BUY was the number one shopping software in the Interstellar era.

However, after the Star-Purchase APP was launched, its spatial delivery that could arrive almost instantly and the construction of holographic communities allowed Star-Purchase to quickly seize the market and become the number one shopping software.

Watching its market share decline daily, Crazy BUY had to take a risk.

Zhuo Feng gave the order: “That essential oil thing has been quite popular lately. We should make one too.”

“Find some synthetic fragrances to put together, give it a poetic name, and sell it for 3,000 to 5,000.”

“Market it as an affordable alternative to the essential oils. Find more people to promote it. Essential oils were just released and not many people understand them. We’ll take the opportunity to piggyback on the hype. This wave will definitely be profitable.”

Soon, an aromatherapy product named “Sunset Glow” was listed on the Crazy BUY software.

Zhu Ran didn’t know that people on other Interstellar platforms were having bad intentions.

Even if he knew, Zhu Ran wouldn’t have any thoughts about it.

He had confidence in his essential oil products; whether in scent or effect, they were irreplaceable in the entire Interstellar era.

Zhu Ran had now obtained the data for the Rose Tea, Rose Essential Oil, and Mutated Lavender Essential Oil.

Rose essential oil had the same effect as lavender oil; both could soothe and repair the spiritual sea.

However, rose oil had an additional effect of improving skin texture and anti-aging.

Zhu Ran predicted that rose oil would be loved by those who pursued beauty.

At the same time, the data for the Mutated Lavender Essential Oil was presented on Zhu Ran’s optical computer.

[After testing, the Mutated Lavender Essential Oil has the effect of repairing the spiritual sea.

For patients with a spiritual sea damage value of less than 50%, the estimated repair effect for a cycle (seven days) in the superficial spiritual sea will not be less than 4%.

The repair effect for a cycle in the deep spiritual sea will not be less than 1%.

Using this product will trigger body heat symptoms. Please pay attention during use.]

“After integrating mutated plant cells into the essential oil, it can actually repair the deep spiritual sea. The attempt can be considered half-successful.”

He didn’t expect that merging mutated plants and natural plants for the first time would yield such feedback. Zhu Ran felt very pleased.

“But… how will the body heat symptom manifest in the human body? Will it cause a fever?”

Zhu Ran wasn’t sure how severe this body heat would be, so he applied the Mutated Lavender Essential Oil to the inside of his wrist.

The oil felt cool when applied, but after a few minutes, a wave of heat rose from the skin where it was applied.

It felt like taking a hot bath; although hot, it wasn’t uncomfortable.

Afterward, this heat spread to the whole body, causing his body temperature to rise slightly.

It was a bit restless, but it wasn’t the weak, limp heat of a fever; it wasn’t too hard to endure.

After about an hour, the heat faded, and there was no other physical discomfort.

At the same time, Zhu Ran could feel that the state of his spiritual sea had indeed improved.

“I can accept the fever symptom. Other than that, no other side effects have been found for now. So… should I let Z try it?”

Zhu Ran pondered for a moment: “I’ll just ask Z directly!”

Zhu Ran stood up from the lounge chair and went to Z’s side.

“I’ve sent you the test report for the Mutated Lavender Essential Oil. It can repair the deep spiritual sea, but there’s a small side effect—your body will get hot.”

“I’ve tried it myself, and the side effect isn’t very obvious. Do you want to try it?”

When Zhu Ran walked toward him, Z focused all his attention on him.

He slightly lowered his head, his expression seemingly no different from usual. However, the optical computer document that hadn’t been scrolled through for a long time indicated that Z’s emotions were not that peaceful.

After Z simply looked at the report Zhu Ran sent him, he looked up, his heterochromatic eyes staring straight at Zhu Ran, a watery light shimmering in the depths of his pupils.

He spoke, his expression somewhat lonely: “I thought you were avoiding me these past two days.”

Seeing Z’s hurt look, Zhu Ran had a strange feeling that he had done something bad behind Z’s back.

Zhu Ran was confused: “Why would I avoid you?”

Z tucked his side hair behind his ear, revealing his exquisite profile.

“After I held you and slept for a night that night, I thought you were angry.”

Zhu Ran sat down next to Z, his tone calm: “I’m not angry; you’re overthinking. It’s not strange for friends to sleep in the same bed.”

Although it was indeed a bit awkward when he first woke up that day, after these few days, Zhu Ran had long put the matter behind him.

Z turned around. He gazed at Zhu Ran’s very natural look, which lacked a single trace of shame or irritation. A wave of complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

But…

Friends?

Heh. He wasn’t interested in being friends with Zhu Ran.

Z’s hand at his side clenched, several veins popping on the back of his hand, looking somewhat dangerous.

However, his expression didn’t change.

Z asked back: “Friends?”

Zhu Ran asked: “What, are we not friends?”

Z’s gaze stayed on Zhu Ran for a while, as if trying to find another answer.

After a moment, he spoke: “Yeah, we are. But, there’s something I need to confess to you.”

“What is it?”

Z stated in an extremely calm tone: “I like men. I hope you don’t mind.”
