antique on the run

"Meow……"

Saiwei was eating his portion with his head down, when he suddenly heard Qi Xiao yell, and then his hand was patted by a furry paw.

He looked up and saw that Qi Xiao jumped onto the table at some point, and was squatting on the side of his noodle bowl looking at himself.

"What's wrong...poof~"

After seeing Qi Xiao's cat face clearly, Saiwei couldn't hold back, and almost let out a noodle smile from his mouth.

It may be because Qi Xiao has not been a cat for a long time, and he has not fully grasped the true meaning of cats eating food. He was fine when he ate the hard dry rice ball yesterday, but he suffered a lot when he ate the fresh rice ball that Akiko just bought. As soon as I opened my mouth to bite the rice ball, it fell apart, and the sticky glutinous rice was stained everywhere, from the nostrils to the beard, and I couldn't shake it off. It was extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing Saiwei's face turned red from holding back his laughter, Qi Xiao narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth unhappily, trying to lick the glutinous rice off his nose, but in the end...

"--sneeze!"

With a sneeze, the glutinous rice stuck in his nostrils was sprayed out and fell on the table.

"Hahaha!"

Saiwei couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed out loud, even the little Akiko next to him was amused, covering his mouth with his hands and giggling non-stop.

Qi Xiao: "..."

What a cat face.

"Fat too," Sewei held back a smile and went to the stove to fetch a wet cloth, and said while wiping his face, "It seems that you are not suitable for eating balls. Haha..."

Qi Xiao looked at him with a cold face, his eyes were as sharp as knives, but because of that cute cat face, more than half of his power was cut off.

It was clearly an innocent and cute little face, but he insisted on making a fierce expression, making it nondescript.Sewei felt itchy to see it, he rubbed the kitten's messy head, and subconsciously wanted to lean in for a kiss, but suddenly remembered what he promised Qi Xiao last night, so he could only retract his head resentfully.

In contrast, Xiao Yaxizi didn't have so many scruples, she poked the kitten's cheek with her finger, and said cheerfully: "Mr. Xia Chuan, the fat lady is so funny!"

Qi Xiao stared at the plate of unfinished rice balls, and turned around silently.

Out of sight, out of mind, all the prestige and face he had accumulated in chasing antiques for so many years were all ruined on this rice ball!

After eight o'clock, the sun rose high, and little Akiko had to go home.

"Then I'm leaving, Mr. Xia Chuan." Xiao Yaxizi put her hands together in front of her chest, bent down and bowed to Sai Wei like an adult, waved to Qi Xiao who was in his arms, and said with a smile: "Goodbye, fat lady!"

"mum."

Qi Xiao responded with a sense of face.

"Be careful on the road." Saiwei sent little Yakiko to the door, and watched the little girl bounce away.

When Xiao Yaxizi disappeared at the corner of the street, Saiwei asked maliciously: "Are you full, Qi Xiao?"

There was still more than half of the plate of rice balls left.

Qi Xiao glanced at him sideways, without saying a word, suddenly broke free from his arms, and jumped onto the low table where the big characters were written with his tail flicking.

The last piece of paper he wrote last night was still spread out on the table.

【Cherry Blossom Pottery】

Sai Wei followed, stared at the words on the paper for a long time, and sighed: "Who would have thought that Xia Chuan Qingquan, a famous pottery maker for a generation, could not make pottery because of this woman."

Everything Xia Chuanqingquan did was for Sakura, and it was for her to put down pottery making, and it was also for her to pick up pottery making again.

"His love for Ms. Sakura is as hot and strong as a rose, but unfortunately, they didn't get a happy ending in the end."

"From this point of view, Xiao Yaxizi is right, Xia Chuanqingquan is indeed quite stupid."

Giving Sakura so many oil paintings in vain, without any good results, and finally not marrying such a woman for the rest of her life, what is it?

"Oh, by the way, Qi Xiao, that painting—" Sai Wei pointed to the unfinished oil painting of Xiachuan Qingquan on the easel, "I don't want to give it to the cherry blossoms, I plan to sell it."

"……mum?"

Qi Xiao froze for a moment, his amber eyes widened, not understanding what this man suddenly wanted to do to sell paintings.

You must know that according to the usual practice, the hunter of the antique hunt should be highly consistent with the original person he "acts", from the tone of the outside to the manner, and the preferences and habits from the inside, because the antique hunt is different from the time travel in the novel. The task is to completely restore the history, so that the antiques as the "audience" are satisfied and willing to go back with them, so anything that may cause history to develop in other directions should be put an end to it.

Yesterday he said that he didn't want to look for flowers, but today he even said that he would sell paintings. Although according to Qi Xiao's judgment, he would not step on the bottom line of antiques and would not be deemed a failure in the hunt, but he still wanted to ask Ask Sai Wei, why do things that are obviously inconsistent with Xia Chuan Qingquan's character design.

Sai Wei of course understood what Qi Xiao meant, but he didn't intend to follow the rules.

"I'm always thinking, when I'm chasing antiques, should I completely empty myself and become another person completely, or should I keep my own thoughts and do what I think is right."

His gaze looked through the low window at the blue sky in the distance, and for a moment, his gaze was so deep that it seemed to pass through the sky, looking at the distant universe.

"It's like a gear and its screw. If you know that the position of the screw is wrong, you still want to screw it up like this..." Sewei shook his head, "Then even if the gear can barely work in the end, as a machine But I will feel uncomfortable in my heart.”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sakura doesn't love Xia Chuan Qingquan at all, and most of the reason she maintains her relationship with Xia Chuan Qingquan is because she wants to get more oil paintings from him in exchange for more money.Once someone can bring her more benefits than Xiachuan Qingquan, such as the general she married later, then she will abandon Xiachuan Qingquan mercilessly, regardless of his past efforts.

However, because Xia Chuan Qingquan was obsessed with Sakura, he never saw this woman clearly. ...Maybe he saw it clearly, but still pretended not to know.

He is indeed a rare pottery genius and a born artist, but at the same time, he is also a cowardly man.He dedicated everything to the woman he loved, but he didn't dare to explore her sincerity at all.

Saiwei is unwilling to let himself become such a tragic character blinded by love, while Qi Xiao...

To be honest, Qi Xiao doesn't care.

Qi Xiao never likes to judge the right and wrong of historical figures at will, because his task is only to "play", and it is meaningless to find out the right and wrong of historical figures for hunting antiques.Precisely because he pays attention to stability in everything, and he does whatever the history is like, so the antiques he pursues have never made mistakes.

However, Sai Wei's philosophy is different. He is indeed "playing" a role, but while playing it, he retains his own views of right and wrong and values.He refused to be a "puppet", tried his best to make slight changes to history within the scope allowed by antiques, and only did what he thought was right.

This sounds beautiful, but Qi Xiao only wants to comment on two words: stupid.

You must know that their pursuit of antiques in this time and space is only temporary, and they will leave this time and space immediately after completing the mission and return to the original time and space.And after they leave, history will set things right and continue to develop according to the established track.

History is history after all, and it is an established fact that will not be changed by anyone's will.

Knowing that what you are doing is pointless, but you still do it, what is it if it is not stupid?

What's more, any modification of history in the process of chasing antiques is a game with Antique's mind as an "audience". If the bet is right, Antique will let you go and let you continue. Come and go wherever you want.

Qi Xiao didn't know how high the success rate would be in the end according to Seville's approach, but it was obvious that this Frenchman had too much romance and perfectionism in his character, which was completely different from Qi Xiao's purpose.

Qi Xiao is rational and calm, and knows exactly what he wants to do and what his purpose is.If following his own heart is based on the premise that the antique hunting mission may fail, then I'm sorry, he won't do it.
