antique on the run

Considering the urgent time, Qi Xiao had no choice but to temporarily give up his plan to get to the bottom of it.

"You don't need to talk about it. Don't worry about it. In fact, I have three other things to tell you."

"The first thing," he held up a finger, "Sakura has probably noticed the change in your attitude towards her, you have to be careful, the original historical process has been changed by you, although this may be allowed by antiques. However," he paused, his voice a bit sharper: "If Sakura breaks with you completely and gives up asking for the meow claw pottery plate, then I think you can go back and deal with your curator directly."

Then the gourd bottle that the old dean had been thinking about was also in vain.

Of course, this cannot be said to Saiwei.

Sai Wei propped his chin with one hand, thinking seriously about Qi Xiao's words.

Indeed, Qi Xiao’s hypothesis is not impossible. Sakura has an arrogant and conceited personality. Although she has to rely on Xiachuan Qingquan’s oil paintings for money, but if she always keeps her attitude of rejection, if Sakura really becomes angry, she will completely break up with Xiachuan Qingquan. If there is no contact, it will be bad.

"So what do you think I should do?"

"Don't go wandering around Hanami Koji these days, and try not to meet Sakura. Take all the time to learn pottery. But remember to draw an oil painting and give it to Sakura."

Seeing Saiwei's gloomy face, Qi Xiao said: "I know you don't like it, but if you don't want this mission to collapse completely, you'd better follow my advice. You don't have to go in person, just find someone to deliver it for you." In the past, it is enough to prove that Xiachuan Qingquan has not changed his mind."

"...Okay, I'll start drawing tomorrow." Saiwei replied depressed.

"Second," Qi Xiao raised two fingers, "it's not a bad thing to stick to principles, so from the very beginning I didn't stop you from taking advantage of opportunities and even giving Sakura a cold face. But the problem is, aside from antiques, Regardless of whether the pursuit can be successful, I want to ask, what kind of identity are you insisting on, is it Saiwei, or Xiachuan Qingquan?"

The answer is obvious -

"It's me." Sai Wei replied without hesitation, "I only insist on what I think is right."

"So your persistence doesn't make much sense to me." Qi Xiao said mercilessly: "You have always insisted on the principle of Saiwei, but now you are 'playing' Xiachuan Qingquan, you It's not Xiachuan Qingquan, understand? You're just 'playing' what this person has done."

"I don't object to you insisting on your own principles. Every antique hunter has his own unique way of hunting. I don't want to interfere with you too much. But Sai Wei, don't get confused, you and Xiachuan Qingquan are not the same at all. Personally, you have your principles, and Xia Chuanqingquan also has his own, although because of the pursuit of antiques, you and him overlapped for a short time, but this is just 'playing'."

He sighed deeply: "If you don't understand what 'playing' means, if you can't separate yourself from the character in essence, then I can only say that you are naturally not qualified to be an excellent antique hunter quality."

His words were so precise that he almost criticized Saiwei completely, and Saiwei's good mood because of learning pottery making was going well in the past two days was also said.He lowered his head and didn't answer anything. The weak candlelight cast a dark shadow on his face, which couldn't illuminate his expression at all.

"but--"

Qi Xiao suddenly came to a turning point.

He didn't seem to notice the obscurity of Saiwei's face, and said seriously: "However, from my observation, it's not that you don't have this kind of quality. No failure to judge and kick us out shows that your speed is very good."

It has to be said that it is also a skill to be able to continuously provoke and tamper with history but still be recognized by antiques.

Qi Xiao couldn't help but think, the temper of Antique who is the "audience" in the void is much better than the audience of those historical dramas...

"Sai Wei, if you want, you can become an excellent, even a top-notch antique hunter."

Like an impartial referee, he gave his own judgment impartially.

Hearing his words, Sewei was taken aback for a moment, raised his head slightly, and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end no sound came out.

He closed his eyes, and picked up the teapot to refill himself as if covering something. In the quiet room for a while, only the knocking of Qi Xiao's index finger on the table and the sound of tea flowing could be heard.

"Do you think... I can be an excellent antique hunter?"

"Yes." Qi Xiao answered without any hesitation.

Saiwei paused while pouring tea, and his throat rolled, "Ah, yes, you think so..."

After going through that kind of thing, his previous self-confidence and pride were all denied and subverted. Even he himself didn't think he could continue to be an excellent antique hunter. He didn't expect Qi Xiao to comment on him like this.

"The problem is that you seem to be troubled by something now." Qi Xiao suddenly stopped tapping his fingers on the table, and said rather puzzled: "I don't know what it is, but it probably has something to do with the one you mentioned. It's about the 'facts', you give me the feeling—" He paused, "It's like deliberately going against history."

Take the matter of Sakura as an example, there are obviously many ways to alienate her without letting her notice, but Saiwei just showed his dislike for her so bluntly and clearly, Soma Toyotomi, Duo The two geishas of the Ma family and even Sakura herself should have realized that Xia Chuanqingquan had broken up with her by now.

And these are obviously avoidable.

"But no matter what the 'fact' is, I hope you can put it aside temporarily. After all, I believe that neither you nor I want this pursuit to fail."

If he failed, he couldn't explain to the old dean... the gourd bottle, and Sewe couldn't explain to curator Derrick either.

"So for the next six days, please do what I say, okay?"

Qi Xiao was a little worried, he was really afraid that he would be packed and sent back to the Louvre directly after he woke up from Shen Mian.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." Seeing what Qi Xiao was thinking, Sai Wei laughed, "I guarantee that we will still be here when you open your eyes."

His mind was punctured, and Qi Xiao didn't show any embarrassment on his face. He turned his head and glanced at his watch. There were only 6 seconds left in the 30-minute time limit.

"Okay, one last thing." He finally raised his third finger, but because the critical time was approaching, his body was slowly fading, and it seemed that he would disappear completely in the next second.

Saiwei suppressed his smile and waited for Qi Xiao to say the third thing.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xiao's lips curled up suddenly.

"The last thing is—Sewei, I can't say anything else, but I probably won't do better than you in finding a master."

As soon as the words fell, Qi Xiao's figure split and disintegrated into countless light spots, like thousands of fireflies circling up, and finally dissipated in the night sky.

His last voice lingered in the air.

"So, be confident, you are excellent."

Saiwei sat at the table in a daze, his eyes seemed to reflect Qi Xiao's last indifferent smile.

Obviously, the corners of his mouth did not even rise five degrees.

But it is like a happy spring, and the ice and snow melt.

"Haha, hahahaha!"

Sewe suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.He laughed out of breath, lying on the table, his cheeks were flushed, and his back was constantly heaving.

I don't know how long I've been laughing, but when I finally had enough of laughing, Sai Wei let out a long sigh.

Qi Xiao is... thinking that he is not confident enough.

Although it is very uncomfortable to be rejected, there is still an inexplicable warmth in recalling Qi Xiao's words.

Such a cold-looking guy actually sometimes encourages others...

Stretching out his hand to embrace the kitten curled up at the corner of the table, Sewei couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed the furry head, and whispered next to the pointed cat's ears, "Don't worry, Qi Xiao, I won't If you do it right again, I will end my pursuit in this time and space as soon as possible."

Then we'll be able to travel to the next dimension, and then... I'll be able to meet you.

Not you in the kitten's body, but the whole, real you.

You like that make my heart flutter.

"J' ailebé guin pour toi."

He intoned softly in French.

'I'm fascinated by you. '

It seemed that the dark clouds that had been in the past few days suddenly dispersed, revealing the sunshine hidden behind, and the smile on Saiwei's face brightened instantly.He pressed his cheeks against the kitten's head, looked over the window rail at the starry night sky outside, his blue eyes were as bright as a clear sky.

"I suddenly feel regretful, Qi Xiao," he sighed quietly, "I shouldn't have wasted those two years, otherwise, I might be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with you now."

But after a pause, he shook his head again and said, "No, no, if it weren't for those two years, I'm afraid I wouldn't have met you here."

Every encounter is a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship and a gift left by fate.

Sevi felt that he had to be more serious, because he seemed to have found something more meaningful than going against history to prove himself right.
