Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Ignoring time will record the things you like...
He Shengnian was stunned for only a moment, then quickly came to his senses, "It didn't take long."
"I had a car accident on the way here," Xu Qinghu explained somewhat helplessly, "In the end, I took the car arranged by the program team, so I was half an hour late. I'm very sorry."
He Shengnian paused when he heard this, "You're not hurt, are you?"
Xu Qinghu raised her hands and turned in front of him, the hem of her skirt drawing a graceful and beautiful arc, "Of course not."
She has fair skin, a faint fragrance, and a slightly cute appearance that makes it almost impossible for people to take their eyes off her.
"That's good." He Shengnian's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't look at her too much. Instead, he looked at the watch on his wrist, "Let's go to the exhibition first."
"OK."
Xu Qinghu followed him to the door. As soon as he entered the exhibition hall, a slightly cool atmosphere filled the air. It was a little dark inside, but the exhibits displayed in the glass cabinets reflected bright and dazzling light under the light.
"There are two themes," He Shengnian whispered to Xu Qinghu, "Which one do you want to look at first?"
His voice was already deep, and in the quiet exhibition hall, it was even more magnetic.
Xu Qinghu glanced at the nearby signboards and chose a theme related to carving and inlaying.
She walked towards the fork in the road and said, "Let's go this way first."
He Shengnian followed her. As soon as they entered the theme pavilion, all kinds of jewels attracted everyone's attention like pearls deposited over the years.
Especially the exhibit in the middle, which is a light and beautiful green cicada, landed on a rugged dead tree. Its wings are outlined in gold and inlaid with imperial green as clear as lake water. It is obvious that it is worth a lot of money at first glance.
This set of jewelry also fits the theme of the jewelry exhibition very well: ultimate rebirth and a brilliant destiny.
The green cicada is born towards death, which means rebirth and breaking through the shackles of fate. The carving and exquisiteness of the work are even more amazing.
Xu Qinghu stood in front of the glass cabinet, paused for a moment and said softly: "It's so beautiful."
Little did they know that when she stood in front of the jewels, her fragrant clothes shrouded in mist, and her slender figure complemented the jewels in the display case and was not inferior in any way.
So beautiful.
The beauty is not only in the jewelry, but also in the present moment, the overlapping light and dark shadows and the skirt shimmering with pearls in the dim light.
He Shengnian stood not far from her, his eyes falling on the glittering work of art, and seemed to fall on her.
Due to the shadows, the camera did not capture the place where his eyes intersected, and could only capture the figures of him and Xu Qinghu.
"This piece utilizes Mr. Chen's specially invented jadeite cutting technique, and the production process is meticulous and complex," He Shengnian stepped forward and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "It has a very high collection value and carries a very special meaning..."
Xu Qinghu looked back at him, her eyes bright and focused, listening attentively to his explanation of the work in front of her, as if she was absorbed in it.
Seeing her interest in the background of the creation, He Shengnian did not hesitate to share his understanding of the work, and explained the various materials used in the work. "In addition to the large area of imperial green jadeite used in the Qingchan, violet jadeite and yellow diamonds are also used on the back. The contrast of colors amplifies the natural beauty of the jewelry..."
One of them was talking while the other was listening, and the atmosphere was surprisingly natural without any awkwardness.
[It's actually He Shengnian. I thought it was Du Yanting. It's a bit unexpected.]
Even if they were dating, I imagined Xu Qinghu talking and He Shengnian listening. I never expected the usually low-key He Shengnian to actually say so much.
[It's not that Xu Qinghu doesn't know anything about jewelry, she's just a country bumpkin. If it were Qiao Qiao, she would definitely have a deep conversation with He Shengnian instead of He Shengnian just arguing.]
[+1, what's the point of dressing so beautifully? Faced with such an elegant jewelry exhibition, Xu Qinghu's understanding ends here. The two of them are simply from different worlds.]
He Shengnian was definitely initiating the conversation out of politeness. His character prevented him from seeing a girl embarrassed, clearly showing his compatibility.
Although most of the audience thinks Xu Qinghu is very beautiful and looks very pleasing to the eye standing with He Shengnian, there are also many people who belittle Xu Qinghu and think that she and He Shengnian are not suitable, whether in terms of family background or other aspects.
A male guest as high-quality as He Shengnian should be paired with a girl like Qiao Wanshu who comes from a wealthy family, has a refined temperament, and has experienced the upper class.
Although this was just a gift chosen by Xu Qinghu for He Shengnian, it had already caused a lot of people's disgust when they went out on their first date.
Xu Qinghu couldn't see the comments, but he could guess how those who put him in Qiao Wanshu's perspective were trying to drag him down.
It seems that only people of noble and perfect birth are worthy of standing in front of the male guest with a good family background.
Because the date venue chosen by He Shengnian was a jewelry exhibition that was extremely rich in money and art. Although he did not say why he chose this place, anyone who followed the dating variety show knew that he chose it for Qiao Wanshu.
He seemed to be low-key, but the person he liked the most in the cabin was Qiao Wanshu, and he sent her a text message on the first day.
Thinking about how Qiao Wanshu was obsessed with the white gift box last night, everyone's dissatisfaction with Xu Qinghu accumulated layer by layer until it suddenly erupted at this moment.
Many passers-by thought they were crazy.
[Xu Qinghu didn't do anything wrong, so why did these crazy women suddenly go crazy?]
The comment section of the show is so chaotic, it's like the entire dating show is just for Qiao Wanshu. Whenever things don't go her way, they start blasting Xu Qinghu.
[This is truly an unprovoked disaster. I urge the production team to quickly manage public opinion. Those who don't know would think Xu Qinghu killed their entire family.]
[The more I get criticized, the more I like Xu Qinghu. I'm just such a rebellious person.]
[Watching a dating show, why does it feel like I've broken into a fandom? I remember this show wasn't very popular. Are there so many viewers who dislike Xu Qinghu? I don't understand.]
"You know so much," Xu Qinghu turned back to look at He Shengnian and couldn't help but say, "I rarely come to jewelry exhibitions before. I didn't expect there would be such stories and design inspirations behind them."
Seeing her eyes bright and curious, He Shengnian whispered, "If you want to see the exhibition, you can pay more attention to the information of some artists."
"good."
After viewing the museum's treasures, the two continued walking forward. Along the way, there were some very distinctive jewelry works, including colorful insects inlaid with gems, as well as plants and flowers made of gradient opals and various gems.
"This is a water lily inlaid with sapphires," He Shengnian introduced to Xu Qinghu as they walked. "The center is embellished with deep blue diamonds, and the surrounding area is bordered with a large number of white diamonds..."
"It's very exquisite," Xu Qinghu exclaimed: "Such a small work actually uses so many gems. The patience and meticulousness of the craftsmen are admirable."
A hint of smile flashed across He Shengnian's eyes, "You're right."
Going further, I saw jewelry inlaid with pink gemstones, including earrings, rings, necklaces...all of them were extraordinary and amazing.
It took me two hours to finish visiting the first exhibition hall.
Xu Qinghu was very interested in these jewels. Whenever he arrived at a place, he would always stop and lower his head. He Shengnian did not urge him and waited quietly by the side.
The two of them have superior looks, heights and temperaments that match perfectly. When captured by the camera, they look like a match made in heaven.
[Actually, Xu Qinghu and He Shengnian are quite suitable. They have that déjà vu feeling of a domineering CEO and a female celebrity. Who understands?]
[+1, I felt it the moment they met, there was a strange atmosphere, but I didn't dare to say it.]
[What's there to be afraid of? This is a dating show, so you can be a couple with anyone. I just think they're pretty eye candy. Let's see who dares to curse.]
Xu Qinghu is a perfect match for anyone. She's not the kind of dodder that clings to men, but a true match.
[Let’s take a quick look at their progress first and see how they develop.]
After visiting the first theme museum, the two went to the second one.
"The theme of this pavilion is about metal and spiritual charm," He Shengnian said, looking at Xu Qinghu's back. "Metals are molded into different shapes to highlight the spiritual charm of jewelry."
Xu Qinghu wanted to go over and see it even more after hearing this, "It must be very beautiful."
He Shengnian saw her walking forward without looking back, not noticing at all that he was not keeping up, and a hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes.
[Hahaha, Xu Qinghu, do you still remember that you are here for a date?]
This jewelry exhibition is so beautiful, I was completely captivated by it. I’ll definitely go see it if I get the chance.
[Emm, it seems like He Shengnian is quite interested in Xu Qinghu.]
As he entered the exhibition hall, Xu Qinghu was attracted by a huge colorful butterfly inlaid with citrine in the middle. The work used titanium alloy to shape the appearance of a butterfly after breaking out of its cocoon, and then inlaid with pearls and a large number of gems. The butterfly flapped its wings and was about to fly. Under the illumination of the light, it emitted an almost dazzling light, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
The butterfly emerges from its cocoon and flies across the ocean.
Xu Qinghu stood in front of the glass display case and subconsciously took out his small notebook from his bag, wanting to write something down.
He Shengnian saw this and stepped forward to help her lift the bag. Xu Qinghu raised her eyes and smiled at him, her beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly curved, "Thank you."
After saying that, she took out the pen from the notebook and wrote a few lines quickly.
He Shengnian didn't read what she wrote, but just waited quietly.
After Xu Qinghu closed the diary, he asked, "Are you recording the artwork in front of you?"
"It's my habit," Xu Qinghu took the bag from him, "whenever I see something particularly amazing, I want to write it down in my notebook."
"It's a good habit," He Shengnian said with a smile, "When you open your diary in the future, you will easily remember the work in front of you."
Xu Qinghu smiled at him again, "You're right, I really like to recall scenes from certain times."
As she spoke, no one knew what she was thinking about. Her eyes were slightly curved, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in them, making her already beautiful appearance even more lively.
He Shengnian's gaze paused on her face for a few seconds.
He quickly looked away, "There are other works ahead."
His subsequent works are also unique, including flowers that mimic animals and emerald necklaces shaped from titanium alloy and inlaid. Each one makes people marvel at the inspiration and magic of the creator.
Until He Shengnian suggested that they should have lunch.
Xu Qinghu realized that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Sorry," she said, coming to her senses, a little annoyed, "I didn't even notice the time."
He Shengnian looked at her apologetic eyes and said gently, "If you like this exhibition, we can continue in the afternoon."
"I've seen almost everything," Xu Qinghu walked over to him, "Let's go have lunch first."
He Shengnian nodded and returned with her along the same route. As they passed by those glittering and colorful works of art along the way, Xu Qinghu would still look back from time to time.
He Shengnian couldn't help laughing when he saw this. "These artworks are not for public auction."
Xu Qinghu blinked, "I know, even if it's auctioned, I can't afford it now."
She did not hide her financial difficulties, but only regretted that she had not noticed the pavilion earlier.
It seemed as if her attention had long since shifted from her date He Shengnian to the jewelry.
Upon hearing this, He Shengnian didn't know whether to sigh that the date location he chose was so in line with her aesthetic, or to be surprised that this date was so relaxed and harmonious. Not only her, but he also seemed to have ignored the passage of time.
