Nocturnal

When Zhang Xiaomi called and asked him to go downstairs, Qin Mochi was still thinking about Li Yedu.

Judging from the bits and pieces since the acquaintance, Li Yedu should still have goodwill towards him, but he refused to say what he wanted to know the most.Is it because of whom he promised?Or did you say that there would be bad consequences?What is the difference between Li Yedu's narration and his own recollection?

Qin Mochi walked through the central hall on the fourth floor with his head down, and saw from a distance a young woman in a brown coat in his shop leaning against the counter and fiddling with some jewelry on the glass showcase. She makes an introduction.The young woman looked a little absent-minded, and as Qin Mochi approached, she looked in his direction as if feeling something.

She was a very young girl, with a small face the size of a palm, and her facial features could only be regarded as delicate, but her eyes were very lively, and a glance from a distance gave Qin Mochi a sense of hope and brilliance.

Just as he was about to lift his foot to go there, the phone rang. Qin Mochi picked up the phone, and seeing that it was Xia Hong calling, he couldn't help but frowned slightly.Xia Hong has never liked him very much. Although he has paid more attention to him in the past two years, he will not take the initiative to look for him if there is nothing wrong.Especially in the recent period, Qin Mochi remembered many things from his childhood one after another, and felt more and more that Xia Hong was a typical useless person who couldn't get up early, and anyone who came to him on his own initiative would do nothing good.

Qin Mochi picked up the phone, and before he could make a sound, Xia Hong asked unhappily, "Why didn't you come back last night? Your grandfather asked about you this morning."

Qin Mochi let out an "oh", and didn't intend to explain further to him.Before he was an adult, Xia Hong never cared about whether he returned late, and now he has no position to ask.

Xia Hong's original intention was not to track down his whereabouts. Seeing that he didn't answer, he changed the subject directly, "I heard you have a green diamond in your hand? How big is it?"

Qin Mochi frowned, "Where did you hear that?"

"Don't ask about it," Xia Hong said in a slightly impatient tone, "You send me the things, I need them urgently. You can use the market price or exchange them with other raw materials."

Qin Mochi replied lightly, "No."

Xia Hong paused for a moment, as if digesting his answer.After a while, he asked him back in a very unexpected tone, "You can't?"

Qin Mochi said simply: "No."

Xia Hong was slightly annoyed, "Why not? Are you still afraid that I, an elder, will take your things for nothing?"

"It's already been shot." Qin Mochi didn't bother to argue with him, and said bluntly: "No more."

"Sold?" Xia Hong was taken aback for a moment, "Who is the buyer?"

"You and I are both businessmen, how can you disclose the buyer's information at will?" Qin Mochi asked him back, "Why don't you tell me first, who told you that I have green diamonds in my hand?"

Xia Hong, "..."

"Is there anything else?" Qin Mochi asked him politely, "I'll hang up if there's nothing else."

Xia Hong, "Hey, wait..."

Qin Mochi hung up the phone neatly.

The girl in the brown coat stood up straight, and as Qin Mochi approached, a nervous look gradually appeared in her eyes.

Zhang Xiaomi introduced: "This is our boss and our chief designer."

The young woman looked at him awkwardly, nodded slightly, "Hello."

Qin Mochi was stimulated by the word "you". He was 25 years old, and this was the first time he heard someone speak honorifics to him, and he felt a little embarrassed, "You... hello, sit here, I heard Do you have something to sell?"

The young girl nodded, and sat down with him in the reception area, took out an old-fashioned wooden box from her purse and handed it to Qin Mochi, "These are old things at home, they are old, I don't know..." She paused For a moment, he didn't seem to know how to sell, and his slightly childish face showed a puzzled expression, "I'm waiting for the money, so..."

"I understand." Qin Mochi looked at her gently. He never lacked patience when dealing with customers.

The girl smiled shyly, and looked at him as if she was looking at her immediate superior, "Then you can look at the things first. I don't really understand these things very well."

The wooden box is nearly two inches high, about the size of a laptop, and is lined with soft cushions. There are several compartments of different sizes, including a pair of golden step rockers with plum blossoms and emerald greens, a pair of white jade safety pendants, a string of Red coral beads, and a jet-black hairpin of indiscernible material.

Even if Qin Mochi didn't know anything about antiques, he could tell that these were genuine old things, and they were well preserved.Especially the string of red corals is pink in color, smooth and delicate in texture, and the gemstones inlaid with beads and pendants are also very beautiful in color.Such things should be rare in the eyes of those who collect antiquities.

"With all due respect," Qin Mochi raised his head and looked at the girl opposite him very carefully, "Since it is so well preserved, wouldn't it be better to send it to the auction?"

A blank expression appeared on the girl's face, as if hearing this term for the first time, "Auction?"

Qin Mochi felt helpless, "How did you find me here?"

The girl pointed to her feet, "I passed by outside and came up to ask when I saw the sign of a jewelry store on the third floor. They refused to accept these things. A clerk suggested that I come to your place and ask. ..." She looked at Qin Mochi, hesitated to speak, as if there was something hidden in her mouth.

Qin Mochi felt a little helpless, it turned out that a blind cat met a dead mouse.

"These are old things, antiques." Qin Mochi explained: "The auction price will be better."

The girl stared at him with innocent eyes, as if she couldn't understand what he was saying.

Qin Mochi sighed, "Have you never heard of an auction house before?"

The girl shook her head embarrassingly.

Qin Mochi laughed, "You are not afraid that I will cheat your things."

"No." The girl understood this sentence, pointed at him, and shook her head firmly, "You won't. We are of the same race, although I am much worse than you... um , I will work hard in the future." The girl blinked her eyes, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

Qin Mochi felt that her statement was very inexplicable, so he couldn't help but look at her more.He was sure that this was the first time he saw her, but this girl really gave him a very kind feeling.Qin Mochi was about to ask her what she meant by "same family", when he felt something moving past her quickly.

The handle is long, gray-yellow in color, and seems to have a little pattern...

Qin Mochi's eyes widened suddenly, "Ah...you..."

The girl showed a relieved expression, and said embarrassedly: "The place where I used to live was engaged in development, so I joined my uncle. Oh, he is at Badaoling Farm, and he helped me apply for the residence permit."

Falling into...household...certificate...

Qin Mochi wiped the cold sweat off his brow, thinking to himself, what is the reason for this girl to feel that she is of her own race? !

The girl said regretfully: "Uncle, he is in closed-door training, so I can only find a way... I happened to pass by here, and I noticed your aura... I thought it was the jewelry store, but I found out when I came up..."

Well, this is a country monster for the first time.

Identification is completed.

Qin Mochi thinks that this girl probably doesn't know too much, so it's better to call Xia Zhifei and ask Xia Zhifei later, "Your things are good, it's not suitable to sell them to me, and you will lose a lot of money. If you don't worry, I'll help you If you send it to an antique shop and find a suitable buyer, the price will be higher."

The girl nodded quickly, "Of course I can trust my lord."

Well, it's not just "you", but now titles like "adult" are popping up.Qin Mochi was so shocked that he immediately called Xia Zhifei after sending her away.When Xia Zhifei heard him describe the girl's appearance, he laughed, "The one you mentioned has already obtained a residence permit, and has a gentle and simple personality. Don't worry."

Qin Mochi asked him in a low voice, "This...what the hell is it?" Just because he could see the tail behind her, it didn't mean that he knew her original body.In fact, he still cared a lot about the girl's phrase "of the same family".

Xia Zhifei hesitated for a moment, "What did you see?"

"Tail." Qin Mochi said: "Grey-yellow tail, quite thick, not long, and there are some inconspicuous patterns on it. Feline?"

Xia Zhifei said, "It's actually a lynx."

Qin Mochi was shocked, "She said I'm from her family..." Could it be that he is really a monster?An old lynx?

Xia Zhifei laughed, "The family she mentioned should refer to the large range of cats."

It was the first time Qin Mochi heard such an affirmative answer from Xia Zhifei, and he was a little dazed, "I really...really...yes..."

"You are my younger brother. If others don't know, how can I not know?" Xia Zhifei quickly comforted him, "Aren't you busy these two days? Don't worry, wait until these two days are busy, meet our captain and let him know." He will show you. Your situation is a little more complicated, but I watched you grow up, right? You... will be fine, don't worry. "

Qin Mochi reluctantly agreed, he no longer had any hope for his own background.At the same time, he suddenly wondered, could it be that Xia Hong realized that he was not a genuine human being, so he was so cruel to dispose of the milk doll?

What about his mother?Does she know or not?

Not long after Li Yedu led Walnut, he was called back to the shop by Qin Mochi.He didn't know much about the pricing of antiques, but he still had a good eye. He could tell the authenticity and approximate age, and then he took out his mobile phone to call his boss.

Walnut didn't feel nervous when he was in a crowded place. He wandered around the store twice, found a place where he could get some sun, and squinted his eyes to catch up on sleep.Qin Mochi was only thinking of calling Li Yedu back just now, forgetting that he still had a walnut with him, seeing it appearing in the shop in a big way now, he was also a little curious about how Li Yedu brought it here.

"Small." Li Yedu put the coral beads back into the box, took out the black hairpin and asked him, "What is this?"

Qin Mochi shook his head, he had never seen this kind of material before, and the lynx himself couldn't say anything, only that it was collected one after another when he lived in the mountains.She had just obtained her residence permit and planned to open a small shop in Linhai to make ends meet. She wanted to use these things to exchange for some capital for starting a shop.Qin Mochi wondered if she had dug out some ancient tombs, but these things didn't look like wet goods, and he was also a little uncertain about their origin, so he had to hand them over to Li Yedu for analysis.

Girls have no resistance to furry animals. Zhang Xiaomi was a little nervous when he saw Walnut's size at first, but now he felt cute when he saw it lying obediently by Qin Mochi's feet, so he took out the biscuits in his bag to tease it .Walnut probably has no resistance to beauties. Even if the biscuits are not to his taste, he still wags his big tail and happily eats two pieces.

"Brother Qin, is this your pet?" Zhang Xiaomi squatted aside and carefully touched Walnut's ears.

Qin Mochi lowered his head and met Walnut's gaze.The walnut amber eyes are watery, with a kind of warmth that seems to be born with it.

"It's called a walnut." Qin Mochi's heart moved slightly, and he stretched out his hand to rub the walnut's head, "I raised it."

Walnut narrowed his eyes, showing an expression that seemed to be smiling.

Qin Mochi smiled unconsciously. He felt that he no longer needed to ask about some things, and he didn't need to find anyone to confirm. The invisible connection between him and Walnut was the best proof.

Li Yedu came in after making the phone call, his eyes jumped slightly when he saw this scene.

Qin Mochi raised his head and smiled at him, "What did your boss say?"

Li Yedu was shaken by his smile, "Uh, my boss...my senior brother asked me to show him the things. It's best for you to go there too. He said that he found some old damaged objects, I don't know if you need it."

Qin Mochi thought for a while, "Alright. I used some materials I got back from him a few days ago, and just brought him the check. By the way, show him the account and explain it."

Li Yedu felt a slight powerlessness in his heart, "It's up to you."

"Sit down for a while," Qin Mochi gave him the sofa, "I'll arrange it."

Li Yedu's gaze followed him involuntarily, until he opened the fingerprint lock and walked into the inner workshop, then lowered his head and flicked his finger on Walnut's forehead, "Silly dog, did he recognize you?"

Walnut cast a lazy glance at him.

Li Yedu was dissatisfied with its attitude, and pinched its ears in retaliation, "I have raised you for so many years, but when I found Mochi, I turned my face and refused to recognize anyone? If I hadn't led you to practice, you would have died a long time ago." You have braided hair, and you still have the life to run so far to find him?"

Walnut shook his ears, and turned his face to the direction where Qin Mochi disappeared.

"It's really heartless." Li Yedu raised his foot and kicked it lightly on the buttocks, thinking that if it wasn't for Mochi, I would have been impatient to feed you, and I would have made you into a nourishing dog meat hot pot long ago.He has a bad temper, eats too much, and doesn't know how to be cute. Who would like to have such a stupid pet.

The door clicked, and Walnut immediately got up from the ground and moved over with his tail flicking.

"Are you in a hurry?" Qin Mochi smiled and said, "Okay, let's go now."

Li Yedu felt guilty for a moment, wondering whether Qin Mochi had seen the kick that kicked the walnut just now.
