Chapter 93 Special Existence
To love someone is to love what she loves. Many things in life are meaningless. The so-called meaning is just given by the person who does that thing.
For Xu Qingsui, restoring cultural relics is the meaning she has found. Although Huo Xilin is reluctant to see her suffer, he is willing to support her as long as she is happy.
"You seem a little different from the Mr. Huo I know." For the first time, Xu Wanshan looked at the powerful man in front of him with a different eye.
"What's the difference?" Huo Xilin didn't care what others thought of him, and said indifferently: "I do things to the person, not the matter. Your stereotype of me is just because the person I treat is not her."
Xu Wanshan understood that Xu Qingsui was a special person to Huo Xilin.
…
After Xu Qingsui carefully polished the repaired part, he placed the teacup under the lamp and observed it carefully.
Under the strong light, the entire teacup is translucent and crystal clear, without any flaws or signs of repair.
She succeeded!
Xu Qingsui was so happy that he couldn't even express it in words. The fatigue from working for more than ten hours straight seemed insignificant at this moment.
She forced herself to stand up shakily, holding onto the table to adjust to the dizziness for a while. After making sure she was fine, she found Xu Wanshan who was talking to Huo Xilin outside and said excitedly, "Senior Brother Xu, I've fixed it. Can you help me take a look?"
She was as happy as a child. Huo Xilin sat beside her, looking at the smile on Xu Qingsui's face. She was dazed for a moment. Her smile overlapped with the smile in her memory at this moment.
Xu Wanshan took the teacup that Xu Qingsui had repaired and looked at it carefully under the lamp. His eyes were full of surprise and he couldn't help but marvel at it.
Obviously he had underestimated Xu Qingsui's talent before.
"Brother Xu, what do you think?" Xu Qingsui was eager to hear the real opinion.
After a long while, Xu Wanshan put down his teacup and gave a fair evaluation: "I have to admit that you are indeed very talented in restoring cultural relics, and your restoration skills are definitely among the best in the entire circle, but you overlooked one thing."
Xu Qingsui asked in confusion: "Is there anything I didn't do well enough?"
She did have a lot to learn, but she couldn't find anyone to ask for advice before. Now that she finally met someone, she naturally had to humbly ask for advice.
"Have you ever carefully observed the cultural relics exhibited in the museum?" Xu Wanshan asked her.
Xu Qingsui nodded: "Of course, I have been to many museums of decent size, and I have seen countless cultural relics."
"Then take a closer look. What is the difference between your teacup and the artifacts exhibited in the museum?" Xu Wanshan returned the teacup to her hands.
Xu Qingsui observed it carefully again, trying to recall the differences between the cultural relics she had seen before and the one in her hand.
flaw!
Her eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, no matter how exquisite the items exhibited in the museum are, they all have flaws, but the one in my hand looks like new, so perfect!"
She was so talented that he just gave her some pointers without saying anything, and she slowly understood.
Xu Wanshan had high expectations for Xu Qingsui and could not help but admire him, "Yes, you have restored this teacup so perfectly. All cultural relics have been buried underground for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, so they will have more or less flaws. These are traces left by the years of history, and this is what really makes it precious."
"Restoring cultural relics is not only about repairing its flaws, but also about knowing how to preserve its traces of time."
Xu Qingsui nodded thoughtfully: "Then I still have a lot to learn."
After listening to Xu Wanshan, Xu Qingsui understood that being able to restore cultural relics without leaving any traces does not mean that one has good skills at all. At most, it is considered as a beginner. Only when one can restore cultural relics to their true appearance can one be considered a master.
She still has a long way to go in the future. This process requires not only learning and observation, but also constant practice, and she lacks the opportunity to practice.
As if seeing through Xu Qingsui's worries, Xu Wanshan took the initiative to say, "I am fully responsible for these cultural relics. I estimate that it will take several years to restore them. If you have time during this period, I hope you can come and help me."
Xu Qingsui asked in surprise: "Can I?"
"Of course, I would be very happy if you could come to help me. In return, I will teach you everything I have learned in my life." Xu Wanshan said sincerely.
If he had previously held a contemptuous attitude towards Xu Qingsui, now Xu Qingsui had conquered him with his true strength.
He also believed that as long as she was given some time, she would have a place in the restoration industry. It was unknown what their status would be in the future.
For the first time, Xu Wanshan felt a sense of crisis. Xu Qingsui could be his teammate, but also his opponent!
"Okay, Brother Xu, please give me your contact information. I'm afraid I won't be able to find you next time." Xu Qingsui hurriedly took out his mobile phone and wanted to add Xu Wanshan as a friend.
Xu Wanshan subconsciously glanced at Huo Xilin, and seeing his silence, he couldn't help but smile, and then readily exchanged contact information with Xu Qingsui.
"You've worked hard today. Go back, have a meal and have a good rest. Come back to see me after you've rested." Xu Wanshan glanced at the time and said to her.
After dealing with all the things, waves of fatigue finally hit Xu Qingsui. She couldn't help but yawn. She felt her eyes were very sore. She forced herself to say goodbye to Xu Wanshan.
Sitting on the passenger seat, Xu Qingsui could no longer bear it and fell into a deep sleep.
Huo Xilin carefully covered her with his windbreaker. Looking at her haggard sleeping face, he couldn't help but pinch her nose: "You little heartless girl, I waited for you for so long, but you were only concerned with talking to other men!"
Forget it, I'll deal with her after she wakes up.
Huo Xilin withdrew his hand, after all he couldn't bear to wake her up.
Xu Qingsui slept until the afternoon.
She was awakened by a burst of fragrance. She opened her eyes drowsily, opened the door and walked towards the kitchen.
The two of them booked a suite. This hotel room not only had a bedroom, but also a balcony, a living room and a kitchen.
Xu Qingsui lay down at the kitchen door and looked at Huo Xilin, who was wearing a black shirt. His temperament was so clean and elegant, but he was cooking with a spatula in his hand, which seemed so incompatible with his identity.
Xu Qingsui was half awake from her doze, and she called out sleepily, "Boss Huo."
Hearing the voice, Huo Xilin turned his head and looked at Xu Qingsui's fluffy hair, and couldn't help laughing.
