Chapter 18 Okay, okay, I'll go with you.
On the way back, Gu Xixia was also thinking about why she always couldn't control her emotions when she was around Hu Xiaoyu.
Because she could also feel that when she was around him, her mindset would inevitably become more childlike.
Although it's not serious, there are indeed some issues.
Habitual dependence, subconsciously acting coquettish.
She knew this mindset wasn't good, but she just couldn't help it.
Gu Xixia glanced silently at Hu Xiaoyu, who was driving, and then fumbled for the phoenix crown in the plastic bag in her hand, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips.
"I suddenly thought of something."
"explain."
"I've seen in some novels and TV shows that antiques are said to be harboring unclean things. Is that true or false?"
"real."
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Xixia's narrow eyes.
"So it wasn't a lie after all?"
"It doesn't count."
"What do you mean?"
Hu Xiaoyu thought for a while before turning left into the car.
"Ordinary items won't have anything dirty inside them; only those weird things, like things that are forcibly buried inside someone's body while they're still alive, will."
Gu Xixia frowned upon hearing this.
"For example?"
"There is a kind of evil jade artifact called spine jade. Simply put, it is a section of jade that is carved to resemble a human spine and then inserted into the body of a living person."
"Given the sanitary conditions of ancient times, wouldn't this method... lead to the host becoming infected and dying quickly?"
That's why I said it was weird.
The car turned right again and headed onto the ring expressway.
"If the success rate is not high, then increase the number of test subjects. There will always be one or two strong ones who survive."
"But life was also very painful. After all, his spine was removed, leaving him disabled and unable to control his own life or death. He also had to endure all sorts of torture during the process, so you can imagine how bizarre it must have been."
Gu Xixia pursed her lips.
"What is their purpose in doing this?"
Hu Xiaoyu sighed upon hearing this.
"Some people seek so-called immortality through evil methods, while others create such objects to harm their enemies. There are many reasons for this, and it is difficult to explain them clearly."
"Do you collect these evil jades?"
"Why would I collect them? They have absolutely no economic or aesthetic value, they're completely useless. Would I just release the filth inside to amuse myself?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xixia recalled her female student named Li Momo who had been entangled with something dirty.
"So, this is how that filthy thing that's clinging to Li Momo came about?"
"I don't know, I didn't check."
"Dirty things appear in all sorts of strange and unusual ways; how would I know where they come from?"
After returning home from underground parking, Gu Xixia immediately found a small brush and carefully wiped away the dust from the antique jewelry.
"How much can this longevity hairpin sell for?"
She glanced sideways at Gu Xixia, who was examining the longevity hairpin.
"I don't know, I'm not familiar with the current antique market, but there are definitely at least twenty."
Hearing Hu Xiaoyu's valuation, Gu Xixia nodded.
I took out my phone, opened Black Cat (a Chinese online shopping platform), and started searching for suitable gift boxes online.
The box looks very expensive, which is inappropriate; the professor will definitely refuse it.
Too simple is no good; it looks cheap and makes the teacher seem insignificant.
As for whether she would discover the hairpin's true value after opening it, Gu Xixia wasn't worried.
After all, my master is an antique connoisseur, so he can naturally tell the difference.
Speaking of which, I'll ask my master to appraise these three pieces of jewelry and see what their value is.
Especially this phoenix crown, it's too expensive, so I won't wear it out for photos.
After lunch, the two set off again toward the new house.
After taking a look at the renovation, Hu Xiaoyu was generally satisfied.
The automatic manure removal belt in the backyard might seem like overkill, but it's just right for Hu Xiaoyu.
At least you don't have to bend over and scrape the feces yourself, which is good for your nose.
The room's furniture was replaced and modernized.
For example, without water heaters and air conditioners, it would be very difficult to live in this kind of old-fashioned building.
"Ms. Gu, we have preserved the original antique style of the house as a whole. Even if we have to make changes, we have tried our best to choose decorations that match the style."
Gu Xixia touched the newly renovated windowsill, then gently pressed her plump buttocks against it and looked down at Hu Xiaoyu, who was admiring the greenery in the front yard.
"Okay, I will pay the remaining 10% after one year. I will transfer the rest of the payment to you now."
The designer looked at Gu Xixia, who was leaning lazily against the window, with a cool and charming temperament, as if she had stepped out of a painting.
Such a beautiful girl, I wonder which bastard will end up with her.
After receiving the payment, the designer and chief engineer respectfully placed two business cards on the table and left the courtyard.
"Aren't you coming up for a closer look?"
"Just look at it and that's it! Can't you see I'm busy loosening the soil?!"
Without looking up, Hu Xiaoyu gave a curt reply and continued loosening the soil around the flowers and plants in the yard.
Gu Xixia pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and then took out her phone to call the clothing store she frequented.
"Yes, one cheongsam, and the other one..."
Gu Xixia glanced at Hu Xiaoyu below and a smile appeared on her lips.
"When we get there, you can design it for me. I only have two requirements: one is to accentuate my curves, and the other is to make it look clean and neat."
Having set a time, Gu Xixia went downstairs.
He took the plastic stool, sat down, and put his hands between his legs to look at Hu Xiaoyu.
"When are you moving in?"
"Next month, let it sit for a while. Although they guarantee that the materials won't emit toxic gases, I don't believe them at all."
"I'm not afraid, but you aren't."
"it is good."
Arriving at the car, Gu Xixia slowly drove along the riverbank.
"I want to go rafting."
"Go ahead."
The car driver noticed the cool and alluring face.
Hu Xiaoyu frowned.
"Why don't you ask your friend?"
"They have their own boyfriends or husbands to keep them company."
"Hey, look at her, she has a husband and boyfriend, and she doesn't care about holidays at all...!"
hum!
The roar of the engine brought a feeling of being pushed back in his seat, and Hu Xiaoyu touched his forehead speechlessly.
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you."
A smile played on his lips, and the car began to slow down.
Back home, the two first went to the farmers' market.
Hu Xiaoyu skillfully selected vegetables at the stall, and the owner was somewhat surprised when it came time to pay.
"Hey handsome, you have a great eye for buying groceries."
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoyu glanced blankly at the little darling beside him.
Gu Xixia smiled and took the vegetables to pay the bill.
"Why couldn't grocery delivery services have been available ten years earlier? Why can't they be delivered to small towns?"
"Then why didn't you push Grandpa in his stroller to go grocery shopping before?"
"His legs are so weak, and I still pushed him to the market? Don't you have any compassion?"
"When you're not around, Grandpa often asks me to push him around, right?"
"Hmm? Then why wouldn't he allow it when I was around?"
"How would I know?"
"Tsk..."
