Chapter 8 Encounter
Xiao Zheng came out of the jade shop and entered several similar jade shops, but there were no gains. There were also many antique dealers on the street stalls. Some even held unearthed cultural relics that were known to be thousands of years old, and grabbed passers-by and talked mysteriously, which made Xiao Zheng feel helpless. Xiao Zheng looked at the so-called unearthed cultural relics that had a history of thousands of years, and he knew that there was no trace of ancient spirit. Not to mention thousands of years, he did not even have a decade of his mother's history. It was obvious that he was a modern product that was used to deceiving people.
There are a few antiques in the entire antique street, but they are all not long. For example, the miscellaneous jade played by poor people in the late Qing Dynasty, the third-rate purple clay teapot that was picked up by many people, and the popular novels written by the poor scholars of that year.
These things may be worth several thousand yuan, but in Xiao Zheng's eyes, even a cent is worth. The only thing he is interested in is anything related to cultivation. Unfortunately, after searching for more than half an afternoon, he found nothing except those five jade carvings.
Disappointed, Xiao Zheng was about to leave, but suddenly heard someone calling his name behind him. Xiao Zheng turned around and found that a girl was running towards him quickly, which was Du Yuexin!
Du Yuexin also saw Xiao Zheng standing up from the street stall just now, and felt like him, so she shouted tentatively, but unexpectedly it was really. Then, Du Yuexin hurried forward and asked curiously: "Why did you come here to visit?"
Xiao Zheng said: "I'll take a walk around as I go."
Du Yuexin was a little disbelief. The reason why she came here was to quickly buy a piece of jade similar to her previous jade pendant, so that her parents would not see her close-to-body pendant disappearing. When she happened to see Xiao Zheng here, she instinctively guessed that Xiao Zheng should be the opposite of her purpose of coming here. She wanted to buy jade, and he should be here to sell jade, right?
Thinking of this, Du Yuexin felt a little uncomfortable and said quietly: "Xiao Zheng, didn't you promise me that if you really want to sell the jade pendant, you would sell it to me?"
Xiao Zheng nodded and said calmly: "Yes, I promised you."
Du Yuexin couldn't help asking: "Then are you here to sell jade?"
Xiao Zheng curled his lips, took out the jade pendant from his pocket with a little disdain, shook it in front of Du Yuexin, and said, "Although I, Xiao Zheng, lie to me, have never deceived women." After that, he said a little unhappy, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Du Yuexin suddenly realized that she had misunderstood Xiao Zheng, and couldn't help but feel ashamed. She secretly blamed herself for being anxious and thinking wrongly, because she attached too much importance to the jade.
Then, she hurriedly chased after Xiao Zheng and explained, "I'm sorry Xiao Zheng, I didn't mean to misunderstand you, but that piece of jade is too important to me. It was my father who spent 50,000 yuan to buy me when he made the first money back then. I heard from my mother that he made less than 100,000 yuan in total. The reason why he wanted to buy me that piece of jade was because he was afraid that one day he would lose money in business, so he would leave me something."
Xiao Zheng stopped, turned around and said to Du Yuexin, "This jade cannot be returned to you for the time being. I have some use. Wait for two more days and I will return it to you when I use it."
When Du Yuexin heard Xiao Zheng's words, she knew that Xiao Zheng had misunderstood the explanation just now, and hurriedly said, "I don't want to get back that piece of jade. I just said those words just to make you understand that I misunderstood you because I care too much about this piece of jade. However, as long as you like it, I don't feel sorry for giving it to you, I'm afraid that you will sell it silently, that's all."
Xiao Zheng smiled helplessly. The girl explained to her so hard that she could see that she was indeed very sincere. She nodded immediately and said, "I won't go to my heart, but I wasn't just joking with you. I will give you the jade pendant in two days."
"I don't want it." Du Yuexin hurriedly took two steps back and waved her hands repeatedly like a little girl who did something wrong.
Xiao Zheng saw her appearance and shook his head with a smile and said, "If you weren't for the jade pendant, why did you come here? Maybe it's because both of us have this kind of logical inertia. Do you think I came for the jade pendant, and I also think you came for the jade pendant."
Du Yuexin pursed her lips and nodded and said, "I wanted to buy a similar one. My jade carving work is quite average. I looked at it all in the city center for a morning. The jade pendant carving work they sold was much better than mine. I came here to try my luck after being advised."
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that we are the same. I came here because I was guided by others. However, I came here not to sell jade, but to see jade."
Du Yuexin gradually felt relieved, and her tone became natural. She asked with a smile: "Do you like jade so much? You even come here to see it."
Xiao Zheng shrugged and smiled, "That's right, it has some connection with Yu."
"No wonder." Du Yuexin nodded and asked again: "Then have you finished reading?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I finished reading it and was about to go back."
Du Yuexin smiled slightly and said, "I'm going to leave too, but I won't go back to school. I usually live at home on weekends, but I can just send you back."
Xiao Zheng nodded slightly and arrived at the parking lot with Du Yuexin. Du Yuexin's car also surprised Xiao Zheng. It turned out to be an inconspicuous Volkswagen Golf, a short hatchback, which can only be regarded as a basic scooter in this city. Du Yuexin's family is very well-off, so driving such a car is really shocking.
In fact, Du Yuexin herself is a very low-key girl. Even if she only has such a car that is less than 200,000 yuan as a scooter, she never drives the car to school when she usually goes to the dormitory. Generally speaking, she lives in the dormitory from Monday to Friday, and when she goes home on weekends or comes to school from home on Monday, she also takes the bus. Except for some local students in Jinling who have a certain understanding of Du Yuexin's family situation, others almost have no idea what kind of family Du Yuexin's origin is.
Xiao Zheng sat into Du Yuexin's car. Du Yuexin started the car and drove out of the parking lot while secretly looking at Xiao Zheng beside her with his light. At this time, Xiao Zheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, did not look at Du Yuexin, but stared out the window as if his eyes were out of focus, which surprised Du Yuexin.
Du Yuexin knew Xiao Zheng in the past. Whenever he approached him, he would always blush with his face and chat with him with no words. Moreover, he was a boy who was very unfamiliar with talking. Once he forced himself to have no words to find something, the atmosphere always made Du Yuexin feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.
At this time, Du Yuexin hoped that Xiao Zheng could continue his previous performance and talk, but Xiao Zheng was silent abnormally. After hesitating for a while, Du Yuexin took the lead in breaking the silence in the car and asked, "Your body feels okay? That night, your appearance scared me."
Xiao Zheng said lightly: "It's okay, it's just a little bit of skin injury. You'll recover after a break."
"Yes." Du Yuexin nodded and said, "Don't provoke Zhao Sihai in the future. This person is quite difficult and not a good person. It is said that he is very close to many playboys and famous gangsters in Jinling. Basically, no one dares to mess with Jinling University. It is best to stay away from him."
Xiao Zheng said, "If he could stay away from me, I would not take the initiative to cause trouble for him."
Xiao Zheng has no hatred for Zhao Sihai. No matter how arrogant and domineering this person is, it has nothing to do with him. Although he has beaten Xiao Zheng before and even killed Xiao Zheng before by mistake, these have nothing to do with Xiao Zheng now. Xiao Zheng now even wants to thank Zhao Sihai to some extent. Otherwise, whether he can be reborn is still unknown. However, Xiao Zheng naturally would not be really grateful. As long as he does not cause trouble for a guy like Zhao Sihai, he will not cause trouble for him.
Du Yuexin looked at Xiao Zheng with a calm face, but was wondering in her heart why Xiao Zheng's change was so great? Could it be that the last incident that changed his whole mindset and temper had changed? Now Xiao Zheng feels a little cold, which makes Du Yuexin feel that it is difficult for a moment to adapt.
The car soon arrived at the gate of Jinling University. Du Yuexin stopped the car on the side of the road outside the school gate. Seeing that Xiao Zheng opened the door and was about to get off, she hurriedly called him, he hesitated, and still said, "Xiao Zheng, why don't you have a meal together tonight?"
"No need." Xiao Zheng refused without hesitation: "I have something to do, so let's talk about it later."
What Xiao Zheng was thinking was that he would go to the playground to continue training at night. There was still some difference between his physical strength and his current cultivation level. He had to seize the time to catch up so that he could keep up with the rhythm of his cultivation and maximize his true strength. Facing threats again, he would have enough ability to deal with it.
But Du Yuexin didn't know this. Xiao Zheng's refusal without hesitation made her feel a little disappointed. Seeing that Xiao Zheng had already gotten out of the car, Du Yuexin was disappointed, but she pretended to be nothing and smiled: "Since that's the case, then let's go home someday. I'll see you on Monday."
Xiao Zheng nodded, remembered the jade in his pocket, and turned around and said seriously: "The jade will be returned to you in two days, don't be too nervous."
Xiao Zheng's words made Du Yuexin feel inexplicable feeling of loss. In order to hide the changes in her emotions, she smiled slightly and said, "Since I've given it to you, I'm not going to come back. You can keep it, it's good to be a souvenir."
After saying that, Du Yuexin pulled the gear lever to D gear, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and the car drove out.
Xiao Zheng went straight to the school cafeteria without looking back, thinking that he would go to the cafeteria to eat something casually, and then headed to the playground. However, he didn't expect that the scene he got out of Du Yuexin's car just now was seen by Ma Qixin, a fellow sleeper not far away. Originally, Ma Qixin was beaten by Xiao Zheng, and he felt extremely angry, but because Xiao Zheng suddenly became extremely spicy, Ma Qixin knew that he was no longer Xiao Zheng's opponent and could not fight him head-on. However, yesterday Du Yuexin was waiting for Xiao Zheng downstairs in the dormitory, and today he drove Xiao Zheng to the school again. I don't know what happened between the two people. Looking at Xiao Zheng's supposed to, Ma Qixin cursed in a low voice: "This bastard, is he really an affair with Du Yuexin?"
