I'm super delicate
Chapter 64
The next day, Xi Changlin and He Chi went to the Guan family's new house again, but got nothing.
The expected result, but somewhat unreasonable. After all, Yan Xinting is a person who likes to keep records. She would specially print out a copy of the contract signed during the process of evacuating Tong Quanli step by step, which opened up a whole new world. A "secret room" was used to store the videotapes and CDs recording her homicide.It is very unlikely that such a person would destroy the spoils he took from Guan Tong.
"She should not store things elsewhere. The evidence that would ruin her reputation if it spread to the outside world is stored here, which shows that she feels that this is a safe place where everything is under control and will not There was an accident."
Sitting cross-legged on the corridor, Xi Changlin said softly with his hands behind his back.Next to him was He Chi, and between them was a plate of ice cream Daifuku and a pot of chamomile tea with rock sugar.
This is the new house that He Chi bought, and the location is better than that of the Guan's next door. From this location, you can see the river slowly bypassing Cangshan Mountain and rushing to the winding distance.At this time, the sun was setting, and the sparkling waves drowned the blood-red sun, and the river at the end was as dazzling as a fire.
"But why can't I find it?" Xi Changlin murmured again.
"Perhaps from the beginning, Yan Xinting and those two brothers didn't get any practical things, so they couldn't wait to prescribe Guan Tong's medicine. Once it's done, all worries will be removed." He Chi picked up a big blessing dipped in chocolate powder and gave it to him. He reached Xi Changlin's lips and whispered.
The latter tilted his head, and bit off a small half of the dessert with the man's hand.After swallowing slowly, Xi Changlin raised his eyes and looked forward: "He was very excited when he saw me that day, and wanted to convey some kind of message to me... Should I go see him again?"
"Which day do you want to go there?" He Chi asked.
Xi Changlin replied casually: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, just today."
He Chi looked at him seriously: "But the auction is also today."
After half a second of silence, Xi Changlin raised his eyebrows: "You really want me to go?"
"Because grandpa's piano is the fifth auction item." He Chi said.
"Chi Chi, you yelled very well." Xi Changlin bent his eyes and smiled, and lightly poked He Chi's cheek, but when he took the remaining half of the chocolate ice cream into his hands, the smile disappeared.
Xi Changlin narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't really want to play it, and it's left in the cabinet or gathering dust in the corner after taking pictures."
He Chi: "But if it is taken back by those collectors, it will still be placed in a decorative cabinet for people to watch, and it will not be used for playing."
"That's so pitiful." Xi Changlin sighed with emotion in a low voice.
The qin is not born for the qin, it is a silent tree in the mountains.Hewed down by tree fellers, chiseled and filed by luthiers, the ropes are used as strings, and the lacquer is painted as emblems.
As a qin, it is destined to use its sound to show its elegance and integrity in this life. If it is covered with a qin cloth and hidden in a glass cabinet, the clear and simple sound will gradually become dumb with time, and it will be played after years. When he woke up, all he could hear was a scream.
How pitiful.
"Yeah, how pitiful." He Chi repeated Xi Changlin's words, and said: "It's better to be taken back by you, to recognize an ancestor and return to a clan. One day, when you are in a good mood and interested, you will take it out and play a song for you." I listen."
"Maybe I'm not very interested. I didn't like to play since I was a child. After I learned other things, I basically threw it aside." Xi Changlin said in a low voice, his tone was not very happy.
He Chi held him in his arms, resting his chin on the top of his head, and said softly, "That's okay, I'll learn how to play for you."
Xi Changlin said "Hello" angrily, but He Chi said again: "How can you teach me? Although my teacher once said that my talent in painting is higher than that in music, it's not that I can't learn the best. Basic stuff."
"But there is only one invitation letter." After a while, Xi Changlin spoke in a firm tone.
"Besides yourself, you can bring someone else with you." He Chi explained.
"Oh, you understand so clearly?" Xi Changlin raised his head with a whoosh, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked dangerously at He Chi from bottom to top, "It seems that you really want to go."
He Chi nodded as a matter of course: "Yes, I really want to go, so you will accompany me?"
Xi Changlin Pingping gave a "tsk", got up from He Chi's arms, stretched out his hand and raised his chin: "Then show me how coquettish you are? I'll promise you if you look good."
"Can you demonstrate?" He Chi smiled.
"I don't know how to do this. What use do I need you for?" Xi Changlin's eyes turned into disgust, and he moved the chamomile tea that had been put a little farther back, and put it beside He Chi's hand, and spread out two small white porcelain cups .
The teapot, teacup and the white plate containing the ice cream Daifuku are in a line, which means to draw a clear line with He Chi.
He Chi picked up the teapot, poured chamomile tea into the cups, and put one of them in Xi Changlin's palm, "I'll help you pour tea and water, and help you change your clothes and go to bed."
"These things can be done by any other person." Xi Changlin made a "slightly slight" movement towards He Chi, pulled out his crossed legs, and kept shaking under the corridor, but put them on again when he said the next sentence. There was a little smile and tenderness, mixed with helplessness: "Where is the auction, and when will it end?"
"It's not far from here. It only takes about ten minutes to drive. It starts at [-]:[-] pm. The estimated total time is two hours."
"But Chichi, we came here by helicopter." Xi Changlin brushed his feet over the short grass on the porch, raised his leg, and pointed to the helicopter that was parked safely not far away, "And, in the eyes of outsiders, we haven't gone out today. .”
He Chi said plainly, "It's not like I'm wronged to turn back and drive out in order to avoid the Guan family's sight."
"Okay, I don't want to bother too much."
Xi Changlin stretched while talking, and He Chi grabbed his hand before it fell completely, and pulled him to stand up from the floor.
The summer dusk will last for a long time. Looking at the unsinkable sunset and his own shadow in the river, the ripples of the river surge forward and the light flickers. Xi Changlin heaves a sigh of relief and turns his head to look at He Chi: " But I didn't bring that invitation letter with me at all."
He Chi shrugged his shoulders, "It's okay, I'll bring it."
Xi Changlin: "..."
When He Chi bought this house, he also bought a car in the garage. It was an out-of-print Porsche, which was well maintained. Both the outside and the inside were as clean as new.
The helicopter on the lawn was left behind by the two, He Chi opened the door of the silver Porsche and invited Xi Changlin to sit in.
"The auction is over, so we should go to Tashan to lay an ambush immediately." Xi Changlin said.
He Chi handed the invitation letter and an auction list to Xi Changlin, backed out of the garage, and said, "You don't need to wait until the end, it's too late, you can see if there is anything you are interested in, if not, just take the piano back and take the auction." Walk."
"I'm not interested." Xi Changlin glanced at ten lines and threw the two things into the car box together. "The time is not bad. Unless we spend the night on Tashan, we will be tossing until late anyway."
He Chi let out a "hmm".
Although He Chi didn't intend to wrong Xi Changlin, the Porsche was still hidden by the props in the first half of the journey, and it didn't show up until it merged into the main road from the fork.
They parked near the auction venue, ate dinner slowly, nibbled, and waited for the fourth item to be auctioned before showing the invitation letter to the waiter waiting at the door.
This is a building in the style of the Republic of China, with small blue tiles, red and gray brick walls with clear water, blue bricks paved the road, and vines crawling outside the wooden painted windows. A faint fragrance.
The waiter wore a black robe and mandarin jacket, leading Xi Changlin and He Chi into the VIP passage—the seat numbers in the invitation letter given by Shi Luo were not in the scattered seating areas on the first and second floors, but in private rooms on the third floor.
The interior of the venue continues the style of the exterior, and the lighting is magnificent.The private room on the third floor is ingeniously arranged, with bead curtains hanging at the door, you can clearly see the scene in the lobby display area, but you can’t see the upstairs from downstairs, and the private room and the private room are separated by green plants, so you can see each other Can't see what's inside.
The price shouted by the auctioneer in the hall was higher and higher, and the auction hammer was about to fall several times, but it didn't.
Xi Changlin and He Chi sat down in the private room in a low-key manner. Immediately, two women in cheongsam brought tea and snacks. Although they were stepping on high heels, they came and went quietly.
"There is the mung bean cake that you disliked bad taste in the restaurant but refused to give up." He Chi glanced at the dim sum plate and said to Xi Changlin.
The young man casually said "oh", without looking up, his eyes kept falling in the void, where the system shook out the light screen.
"What's wrong?" He Chi frowned indistinctly.
The privacy measures in the private room are very good, there is no monitoring equipment, Xi Changlin clicked a button on the edge of the screen, and used props to open permissions to He Chi.
"Look." Xi Changlin pinched the light screen and moved the screen in front of He Chi, "This is the overall picture of the second floor scanned by the system. It is high-definition and uncensored. You can see everyone's face clearly."
The other hand of the young man held Apple's capacitive stylus. Although it could not leave marks on the light screen, he still scratched somewhere with his nose.
"Through face recognition, we can know that this person is a rich man in Pinghai City, surnamed Sun, whose family is in the medical business, and the person next to him is the nanny who came to Sun's family two years ago, surnamed Dai, and his name is Dai Yunqing , once had a child named Xie Zhan."
After finishing speaking, Xi Changlin zoomed in on the screen, cut out another screen, and dragged out Yan Xinting's photo.
"Look later, their eyes look the same when they smile."
"You suspect—"
He Chi didn't finish his sentence, because the auction hammer finally fell on the plate. The fourth auction item - a guzheng made by a certain concubine of the Qing Dynasty, was taken by the lady Dai they were talking about. 250 million.
"Back then, she gave up Xie Zhan because of her family's poverty." Xi Changlin curled the corners of his lips with a half-smile.
"For some people, as long as the opportunity comes, life can reach the peak easily." He Chi raised his hand to touch Xi Changlin's bangs, and said in a low voice.
Xi Changlin was thoughtful: "Why didn't I think of this shortcut back then?"
He Chi smiled and said, "Probably because you refused to ask more about who bought you that glass of wine back then."
"Come on, you won't be able to protect yourself at that time." Xi Changlin curled his lips.
"You doubt the relationship between Xie Zhan's mother and Yan Xinting, but just because they have similar eyes when they smile, isn't that a bit too arbitrary?" He Chi changed the subject, and took out a piece of mung bean cake from the dessert plate, Break off a small piece and stuff it into Xi Changlin's mouth.
"Of course I didn't doubt it based on this." Xi Changlin spread his hands, and the third light curtain appeared in his palm, which was simulated by the system, Yan Xinting's appearance ten years later.
Dai Yunqing is a nanny. She used to serve the Gong family, and now she has come to this rich man surnamed Sun. Although they are all rich and noble, they still have to do some work, especially in the early years. Even with heavy makeup, it couldn't hide the wrinkles on his face.
She and Yan Xinting are clearly the same age, but they look more than ten years older. Once Yan Xinting's appearance is drawn ten years later, the two have been compared, and the similarity is even higher.
Leaving aside the innate temperament, the face shape, eyes, nose bridge, and even the height of the hairline are all similar.
Xi Changlin put the photo of their father at this age on the virtual screen: "Look again, if the three of them are really related by blood, then the genes are really powerful, if not, then the Creator is really amazing. "
He Chi raised his eyebrows with a smile, and fed Xi Changlin a small piece of mung bean cake, "Okay, it just so happens that Emi is still dealing with some things in Pinghai City, I'll go and take Dai Yunqing's..."
Before He Chi could finish speaking, Xi Changlin interrupted him vaguely: "I'll go, you take the piano you want by yourself."
"Okay, I did it, my piano." He Chi understood Xi Changlin's meaning and nodded helplessly.
The young man took the remaining half of mung bean cake from He Chi's hand, said that the taste was not bad, pushed open the door hidden next to the multi-treasure shelf, and walked back the way he came.
The private rooms on the third floor are not connected to each other, but the seating area on the second floor is open. Xi Changlin first went to the bathroom slowly, then pinched an invisibility talisman, and walked quickly to where Dai Yunqing was.
He was wearing disposable gloves, and he was holding a teacup from a certain table in his palm.The teacups here have the same style and color, and the tea is also the same. Xi Changlin quietly exchanged the teacup Dai Yunqing drank with the one he was holding, and then returned along the original road.
At this time, the asking price of the Fuxiqin handed down by the Xi family has reached tens of millions.
Xi Changlin never felt how valuable his piano was. In order to pay for his grandfather's medical expenses, he sold it for only a little over 200 million yuan.Although it must have been cheated by the pawnbrokers back then, no matter how valuable the price is, it can only be doubled, and it cannot be more than 500 million.
It was only 11 years since he sold the violin.For musical instruments, the value of a ghost can be raised in 11 years, unless a zero is added after it.
In recent years, the price of guqin has risen, and it is all caused by speculation.
Xi Changlin went into the bathroom again, walked into the previous cubicle, and came out again.When I returned to Yajian, the asking price exceeded 500 million.
He Chi hasn't pressed the bidding button yet.In his philosophy, the auction bidding does not need to bid with someone from the beginning, and wait until the hammer is about to fall, and then bid higher than the last person.
The young man put the glass of water that Dai Yunqing drank on the table, and called out "Chi Chi" softly.
"Thank you, drink some water?" He Chi took Xi Changlin's hand, pulled him to sit beside him, and put the water glass into his hand.
"Are you more prodigal than me?" Xi Changlin took a sip of the tea in his cup, raised his eyelids, and fixedly looked at He Chi.
"How can this be called a prodigal? King Zhou You smiled for Bo Baosi, and even dared to light the beacon tower. What's the point of me taking a picture of a guqin?" He Chi smiled, his blue eyes were like the sea, and the light shone in the depths. striking.
Xi Changlin looked directly into such eyes, and said in a high tone: "Oh? The head of a certain He surname, I didn't expect you to compare yourself to a fool."
"Anyway, it's my own piano." He Chi said.
"Okay, it looks like you won't be happy if you don't spend the money tonight." Xi Changlin said angrily.
He Chi snorted.
At this time, the auctioneer in the middle of the lobby on the first floor shouted the number "900 million" for the second time. He Chi finally pressed the bid button and directly increased the bid to 500 million. The reluctant person immediately lost his voice.
This Fuxi-style guqin was finally sold at a price of 400 million.
Xi Changlin squeezed out the second piece of mung bean cake from the snack plate, lowered his eyes, and took a bite in silence.
"I'm a little lucky that you didn't ask who the person who ordered your wine was six years ago." He Chi said suddenly.
Xi Changlin bit his food, raised his eyelids, and asked him why he said that.
He Chi explained: "If you had been with me six years ago, I'm afraid you would have suffered a lot."
Xi Changlin glanced at him again, this time saying, "It's as if I would have promised you six years ago."
"You were very good back then, you should be easier to coax than now." He Chi bent his eyes and reached out to scratch Xi Changlin's chin.
"Oh, if it's really easy to coax, then you ordered me wine for several days in a row, why would I refuse to drink?" Xi Changlin didn't blink much, but his tone was neither salty nor weak.
"Because Xi Miao at that time was quite self-conscious and knew that he couldn't drink well, so he didn't drink outside." He Chi said, "And he didn't like talking to strangers."
"Come on." Xi Changlin was quite speechless, patted the pastry crumbs between his fingers, raised his leg and kicked He Chi, "You talk too much."
He Chi smiled and picked up that leg in his hand, and started a new topic: "Shall I ask the auctioneer to send Qin to Ninghai City?"
"Is it true or not if you don't take a look?" Xi Changlin glared at him.
"I don't know your Qin." He Chi took it for granted.
"All right, all right, you can do whatever you want, don't tell me." Xi Changlin didn't want to get entangled with Qin's problem, so he casually squeezed a piece of pastry from the dessert plate and stuffed it into He Chi's mouth.
He Chi basically didn't choose anything, Xi Changlin ate whatever he gave, swallowed this piece of pumpkin crisp with a full of milk flavor, and said hello to the auctioneer, asking them to bring the piano over.
In less than half a minute, this Fuxiqin appeared in front of Xi Changlin, with a deep red lacquer, clear and deep.
He wiped his hands carefully before touching it. He didn't pluck the strings, but turned the body over to see if the nick he made when he was young was still there.
After confirming, Xi Changlin stuffed the Qin into He Chi's arms, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's my family's Qin."
He Chi said "OK" with a smile, put the piano back into its case, took Xi Changlin's hand, and led him away from the auction venue.
Thousands of lights on the street are like day, and the night is long.
Unable to put the Qin in the trunk and let it bump in the back seat, Xi Changlin had to sit in the back seat with the Qin in his arms.He narrowed his eyes, watching the street lights outside the window recede like shooting stars, and remained silent all the way.
The destination is the old house of the Guan family in Tashan, and it takes nearly an hour to take the inner ring expressway.Xi Changlin simply closed his eyes, put his head on the car window, and fell asleep.
Generally speaking, when sleeping in the car, Xi Changlin sleeps lightly and wakes up at the slightest movement, but every time He Chi is by his side, he sleeps soundly.
This time too, when he woke up, the car had already arrived at the foot of Tashan Mountain, and he was hurt by the piano box unexpectedly, and the hard thing in his arms was taken away at some point, and he stuffed it with a pillow—— He Chi probably got out of the car to buy it when he passed by a certain shopping center. He cut the tag, but it still smelled very new.
Then, he found that his position had changed again, from the back seat to the co-pilot.
"Where's Qin?" Xi Changlin asked softly with his eyes half-opened.
He Chi: "I sent someone back to the hotel."
"Oh……"
After talking, Xi Changlin was going to sleep again, but He Chi didn't go his way, snorted coldly and said, "I answered a call earlier."
Xi Changlin raised his eyelids, motioning for He Chi to continue.
"Lou Yang called, and the first thing he said was 'where are you'." He Chi said in a cold voice, "Xi Miao, tell me, are you dating him behind my back? Let him talk So boldly."
Xi Changlin let out an "ah", apparently a little surprised, but his voice was too soft, and the surprise seemed insincere.
"How did you answer him?" Xi Changlin said.
He Chi raised his eyebrows: "You didn't tell me first, did you make any agreement with him behind my back?"
After Xi Changlin finished "humming", he twisted his body, put the pillow against the window, leaned his head over, and didn't want to pay attention to this person.
"Xi Miao—" He Chi dragged his tone, the speed of the car slowed down, and he stretched out his hand to pinch Xi Changlin's face.
The young man shook his head and buried his whole face in the pillow.
Seeing this, He Chi simply pulled over and pulled the man into his arms, nose to nose, lowered his voice, and called him again.
Xi Changlin was a little itchy from the heat of his words, and hid back, finally willing to open his eyes, and said angrily, "What promise can I make with him?"
"Then who gave him the confidence to ask where you are?" He Chi's tone was still full of dissatisfaction.
"Lou Yang has always been very confident." Xi Changlin smiled, and kissed the corner of He Chi's lips, "He wanted to find out about me, and he should have found out something about me, so he came to me."
"Just because he wants to participate in your affairs?" He Chi said coldly, "Did he find that metal arrow yesterday?"
Xi Changlin nodded: "Yes, I warned him once, but I didn't expect him to be so persistent."
The expected result, but somewhat unreasonable. After all, Yan Xinting is a person who likes to keep records. She would specially print out a copy of the contract signed during the process of evacuating Tong Quanli step by step, which opened up a whole new world. A "secret room" was used to store the videotapes and CDs recording her homicide.It is very unlikely that such a person would destroy the spoils he took from Guan Tong.
"She should not store things elsewhere. The evidence that would ruin her reputation if it spread to the outside world is stored here, which shows that she feels that this is a safe place where everything is under control and will not There was an accident."
Sitting cross-legged on the corridor, Xi Changlin said softly with his hands behind his back.Next to him was He Chi, and between them was a plate of ice cream Daifuku and a pot of chamomile tea with rock sugar.
This is the new house that He Chi bought, and the location is better than that of the Guan's next door. From this location, you can see the river slowly bypassing Cangshan Mountain and rushing to the winding distance.At this time, the sun was setting, and the sparkling waves drowned the blood-red sun, and the river at the end was as dazzling as a fire.
"But why can't I find it?" Xi Changlin murmured again.

Xi Changlin narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't really want to play it, and it's left in the cabinet or gathering dust in the corner after taking pictures."
He Chi: "But if it is taken back by those collectors, it will still be placed in a decorative cabinet for people to watch, and it will not be used for playing."
"That's so pitiful." Xi Changlin sighed with emotion in a low voice.
The qin is not born for the qin, it is a silent tree in the mountains.Hewed down by tree fellers, chiseled and filed by luthiers, the ropes are used as strings, and the lacquer is painted as emblems.

The other hand of the young man held Apple's capacitive stylus. Although it could not leave marks on the light screen, he still scratched somewhere with his nose.
"Through face recognition, we can know that this person is a rich man in Pinghai City, surnamed Sun, whose family is in the medical business, and the person next to him is the nanny who came to Sun's family two years ago, surnamed Dai, and his name is Dai Yunqing , once had a child named Xie Zhan."
After finishing speaking, Xi Changlin zoomed in on the screen, cut out another screen, and dragged out Yan Xinting's photo.
"Look later, their eyes look the same when they smile."
"You suspect—"
He Chi didn't finish his sentence, because the auction hammer finally fell on the plate. The fourth auction item - a guzheng made by a certain concubine of the Qing Dynasty, was taken by the lady Dai they were talking about. 250 million.
"Back then, she gave up Xie Zhan because of her family's poverty." Xi Changlin curled the corners of his lips with a half-smile.
"For some people, as long as the opportunity comes, life can reach the peak easily." He Chi raised his hand to touch Xi Changlin's bangs, and said in a low voice.
Xi Changlin was thoughtful: "Why didn't I think of this shortcut back then?"
He Chi smiled and said, "Probably because you refused to ask more about who bought you that glass of wine back then."
"Come on, you won't be able to protect yourself at that time." Xi Changlin curled his lips.
"You doubt the relationship between Xie Zhan's mother and Yan Xinting, but just because they have similar eyes when they smile, isn't that a bit too arbitrary?" He Chi changed the subject, and took out a piece of mung bean cake from the dessert plate, Break off a small piece and stuff it into Xi Changlin's mouth.
"Of course I didn't doubt it based on this." Xi Changlin spread his hands, and the third light curtain appeared in his palm, which was simulated by the system, Yan Xinting's appearance ten years later.
Dai Yunqing is a nanny. She used to serve the Gong family, and now she has come to this rich man surnamed Sun. Although they are all rich and noble, they still have to do some work, especially in the early years. Even with heavy makeup, it couldn't hide the wrinkles on his face.
She and Yan Xinting are clearly the same age, but they look more than ten years older. Once Yan Xinting's appearance is drawn ten years later, the two have been compared, and the similarity is even higher.
Leaving aside the innate temperament, the face shape, eyes, nose bridge, and even the height of the hairline are all similar.
Xi Changlin put the photo of their father at this age on the virtual screen: "Look again, if the three of them are really related by blood, then the genes are really powerful, if not, then the Creator is really amazing. "
He Chi raised his eyebrows with a smile, and fed Xi Changlin a small piece of mung bean cake, "Okay, it just so happens that Emi is still dealing with some things in Pinghai City, I'll go and take Dai Yunqing's..."
Before He Chi could finish speaking, Xi Changlin interrupted him vaguely: "I'll go, you take the piano you want by yourself."
"Okay, I did it, my piano." He Chi understood Xi Changlin's meaning and nodded helplessly.
The young man took the remaining half of mung bean cake from He Chi's hand, said that the taste was not bad, pushed open the door hidden next to the multi-treasure shelf, and walked back the way he came.
The private rooms on the third floor are not connected to each other, but the seating area on the second floor is open. Xi Changlin first went to the bathroom slowly, then pinched an invisibility talisman, and walked quickly to where Dai Yunqing was.
He was wearing disposable gloves, and he was holding a teacup from a certain table in his palm.The teacups here have the same style and color, and the tea is also the same. Xi Changlin quietly exchanged the teacup Dai Yunqing drank with the one he was holding, and then returned along the original road.
At this time, the asking price of the Fuxiqin handed down by the Xi family has reached tens of millions.
Xi Changlin never felt how valuable his piano was. In order to pay for his grandfather's medical expenses, he sold it for only a little over 200 million yuan.Although it must have been cheated by the pawnbrokers back then, no matter how valuable the price is, it can only be doubled, and it cannot be more than 500 million.
It was only 11 years since he sold the violin.For musical instruments, the value of a ghost can be raised in 11 years, unless a zero is added after it.
In recent years, the price of guqin has risen, and it is all caused by speculation.
Xi Changlin went into the bathroom again, walked into the previous cubicle, and came out again.When I returned to Yajian, the asking price exceeded 500 million.
He Chi hasn't pressed the bidding button yet.In his philosophy, the auction bidding does not need to bid with someone from the beginning, and wait until the hammer is about to fall, and then bid higher than the last person.
The young man put the glass of water that Dai Yunqing drank on the table, and called out "Chi Chi" softly.
"Thank you, drink some water?" He Chi took Xi Changlin's hand, pulled him to sit beside him, and put the water glass into his hand.
"Are you more prodigal than me?" Xi Changlin took a sip of the tea in his cup, raised his eyelids, and fixedly looked at He Chi.
"How can this be called a prodigal? King Zhou You smiled for Bo Baosi, and even dared to light the beacon tower. What's the point of me taking a picture of a guqin?" He Chi smiled, his blue eyes were like the sea, and the light shone in the depths. striking.
Xi Changlin looked directly into such eyes, and said in a high tone: "Oh? The head of a certain He surname, I didn't expect you to compare yourself to a fool."
"Anyway, it's my own piano." He Chi said.
"Okay, it looks like you won't be happy if you don't spend the money tonight." Xi Changlin said angrily.
He Chi snorted.
At this time, the auctioneer in the middle of the lobby on the first floor shouted the number "900 million" for the second time. He Chi finally pressed the bid button and directly increased the bid to 500 million. The reluctant person immediately lost his voice.
This Fuxi-style guqin was finally sold at a price of 400 million.
Xi Changlin squeezed out the second piece of mung bean cake from the snack plate, lowered his eyes, and took a bite in silence.
"I'm a little lucky that you didn't ask who the person who ordered your wine was six years ago." He Chi said suddenly.
Xi Changlin bit his food, raised his eyelids, and asked him why he said that.
He Chi explained: "If you had been with me six years ago, I'm afraid you would have suffered a lot."
Xi Changlin glanced at him again, this time saying, "It's as if I would have promised you six years ago."
"You were very good back then, you should be easier to coax than now." He Chi bent his eyes and reached out to scratch Xi Changlin's chin.
"Oh, if it's really easy to coax, then you ordered me wine for several days in a row, why would I refuse to drink?" Xi Changlin didn't blink much, but his tone was neither salty nor weak.
"Because Xi Miao at that time was quite self-conscious and knew that he couldn't drink well, so he didn't drink outside." He Chi said, "And he didn't like talking to strangers."
"Come on." Xi Changlin was quite speechless, patted the pastry crumbs between his fingers, raised his leg and kicked He Chi, "You talk too much."
He Chi smiled and picked up that leg in his hand, and started a new topic: "Shall I ask the auctioneer to send Qin to Ninghai City?"
"Is it true or not if you don't take a look?" Xi Changlin glared at him.
"I don't know your Qin." He Chi took it for granted.
"All right, all right, you can do whatever you want, don't tell me." Xi Changlin didn't want to get entangled with Qin's problem, so he casually squeezed a piece of pastry from the dessert plate and stuffed it into He Chi's mouth.
He Chi basically didn't choose anything, Xi Changlin ate whatever he gave, swallowed this piece of pumpkin crisp with a full of milk flavor, and said hello to the auctioneer, asking them to bring the piano over.
In less than half a minute, this Fuxiqin appeared in front of Xi Changlin, with a deep red lacquer, clear and deep.
He wiped his hands carefully before touching it. He didn't pluck the strings, but turned the body over to see if the nick he made when he was young was still there.
After confirming, Xi Changlin stuffed the Qin into He Chi's arms, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's my family's Qin."
He Chi said "OK" with a smile, put the piano back into its case, took Xi Changlin's hand, and led him away from the auction venue.
Thousands of lights on the street are like day, and the night is long.
Unable to put the Qin in the trunk and let it bump in the back seat, Xi Changlin had to sit in the back seat with the Qin in his arms.He narrowed his eyes, watching the street lights outside the window recede like shooting stars, and remained silent all the way.
The destination is the old house of the Guan family in Tashan, and it takes nearly an hour to take the inner ring expressway.Xi Changlin simply closed his eyes, put his head on the car window, and fell asleep.
Generally speaking, when sleeping in the car, Xi Changlin sleeps lightly and wakes up at the slightest movement, but every time He Chi is by his side, he sleeps soundly.
This time too, when he woke up, the car had already arrived at the foot of Tashan Mountain, and he was hurt by the piano box unexpectedly, and the hard thing in his arms was taken away at some point, and he stuffed it with a pillow—— He Chi probably got out of the car to buy it when he passed by a certain shopping center. He cut the tag, but it still smelled very new.
Then, he found that his position had changed again, from the back seat to the co-pilot.
"Where's Qin?" Xi Changlin asked softly with his eyes half-opened.
He Chi: "I sent someone back to the hotel."
"Oh……"
After talking, Xi Changlin was going to sleep again, but He Chi didn't go his way, snorted coldly and said, "I answered a call earlier."
Xi Changlin raised his eyelids, motioning for He Chi to continue.
"Lou Yang called, and the first thing he said was 'where are you'." He Chi said in a cold voice, "Xi Miao, tell me, are you dating him behind my back? Let him talk So boldly."
Xi Changlin let out an "ah", apparently a little surprised, but his voice was too soft, and the surprise seemed insincere.
"How did you answer him?" Xi Changlin said.
He Chi raised his eyebrows: "You didn't tell me first, did you make any agreement with him behind my back?"
After Xi Changlin finished "humming", he twisted his body, put the pillow against the window, leaned his head over, and didn't want to pay attention to this person.
"Xi Miao—" He Chi dragged his tone, the speed of the car slowed down, and he stretched out his hand to pinch Xi Changlin's face.
The young man shook his head and buried his whole face in the pillow.
Seeing this, He Chi simply pulled over and pulled the man into his arms, nose to nose, lowered his voice, and called him again.
Xi Changlin was a little itchy from the heat of his words, and hid back, finally willing to open his eyes, and said angrily, "What promise can I make with him?"
"Then who gave him the confidence to ask where you are?" He Chi's tone was still full of dissatisfaction.
"Lou Yang has always been very confident." Xi Changlin smiled, and kissed the corner of He Chi's lips, "He wanted to find out about me, and he should have found out something about me, so he came to me."
"Just because he wants to participate in your affairs?" He Chi said coldly, "Did he find that metal arrow yesterday?"
Xi Changlin nodded: "Yes, I warned him once, but I didn't expect him to be so persistent."
