Chapter 156 I am always the most important
It's another rainy day.
Chen Ci accompanied Tang Song to an antique shop called "Hidden in the City".
"Hey, you're here!"
As soon as he entered the store, the owner who was sitting on a mahogany chair stood up and greeted Tang Song enthusiastically when he saw him.
Tang Song held Shen Ci's hand and casually put the folded umbrella in the bamboo basket at the door before saying, "It's raining and foggy, so drive slowly."
While saying "It's okay", the shop owner looked at the hands held by Tang Song and Shen Ci, and then raised his eyebrows slightly without any expression.
Does this mean you have a girlfriend?
"Let me take a look at the things first." Tang Song said.
The shop owner nodded and turned to go to the back of the shop.
Chen Ci wandered around the small store curiously.
She had never been to an antique shop before, but this one didn't look like anything special. There were all sorts of random objects piled on some tables, beads wrapped around teapots, calligraphy and paintings inserted in bronze tripods, and you couldn't tell which one was valuable.
It looks like they are not worth much.
There were also some things neatly arranged, but Chen Ci didn't know anything about them and couldn't figure out what they were.
Tang Song followed beside her, and seeing her serious look, he couldn't help but remind her softly with a smile: "Don't look at it, the things you see now are not good things, you will see the good things soon."
Shen Ci nodded and followed Tang Song to sit on the mahogany sofa.
Not long after, the shop owner came out carefully holding an exquisite box: "Take a look, please handle it with care."
Tang Song opened the box, and inside was a set of extremely exquisite tea sets, including a teapot, four teacups, and some strange tools that Chen Ci had no idea what they were used for.
The shop owner explained, "This is 'Qinghongsha', an artifact from the Yuan Dynasty. The teapot appears green now, but when heated, it turns red because it's made from a special type of sand. This craftsmanship is a legendary Yuan Dynasty skill. While technology can replicate it now, an experienced person can tell the real thing from the fake at a glance. Since you're an expert, I won't elaborate further."
Tang Song picked it up and looked at it for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Things are old, so they are definitely not flawless, but this is also the "charm" of antiques. Isn't flaws a kind of beauty?
The most important thing is that the old man will definitely like it.
"200!" Tang Song spoke slowly and started bargaining.
The shop owner gave him a look that said, "You're here again!" and then shook his head. "Didn't we agree on 220? Please let me earn some money!"
"200 is not a bad amount for you. I'm not in a hurry. Think about it."
The boss curled his lips helplessly. How could he dare to say no?
But what Tang Song said was not wrong. He could make some money from "200". He deliberately made a high initial offer because he knew Tang Song would bargain.
"Okay, since this is your first time bringing your girlfriend here, I'll take this as congratulations." The shop owner is quite good at talking.
Chen Ci also laughed when he heard it, and thanked Tang Song on his behalf: "Thank you very much, boss."
Back in the car, Tang Song carefully put the things away, then looked at Chen Ci and asked again: "Baby, you really don't want to go with me?"
Chen Ci looked at his handsome face, raised her hand and touched his chin, and nodded: "This is a big event in your family. Your grandfather's birthday must be very grand. It is not appropriate for me to go. I don't want to add too many complicated interpersonal relationships when dating you. I just want to be your good girlfriend. That's enough."
Tang Song looked at her with eyes full of tenderness and love.
"Your little head really thinks differently from others." As he said that, he leaned over and kissed her impatiently.
Another long, lingering, wet kiss.
Then Tang Song held Shen Ci's face and said seriously: "I respect your idea, then I will take you back to school first?"
Shen Ci nodded.
On the way back to school, Shen Ci asked casually: "You are good at antiques. The boss just said you are an expert."
Tang Song glanced at Chen Ci with a smile in his eyes, and then explained: "My grandfather is the expert, but I have been around him since I was a child and have seen many good things. So I have a good eye and basically I can't make mistakes when I look at things."
Shen Ci understood what he said and said, “Then your grandfather will definitely like this tea set.”
"I hope so. This tea set is quite rare. I just hope he'll be happy and take me back to the criminal police team."
This is what Tang and Song really care about.
"But if I really return to the criminal police team one day, I will definitely be busier than I am now, and it will be even harder for us to meet often." Tang Song said, looking at Chen Ci cautiously, observing her reaction.
"Just do what you want to do. Never put me first and compromise yourself. I can't bear such a heavy responsibility." Shen Ci turned her head to look back at him and said bluntly: "Because I am the same. In my heart, I am always the most important."
Tang Song wanted to say something but stopped himself, but his eyes showed uncontrollable admiration and joy.
How could his baby be so transparent and frank, and not hesitate to express himself?
Whatever you think, you can say it out loud and clear, and be completely consistent in your words and deeds, making the relationship easy and pleasant for both parties, and never causing suspicion of each other.
For a moment, he felt relieved, because he really cared about Shen Ci's reaction. He was afraid that Shen Ci would worry too much and be unhappy after he said this, but she didn't.
I was worrying too much.
At the main gate of the school, the car slowly stopped by the roadside and the rain outside had just stopped.
"I wish your grandfather good fortune as vast as the East Sea."
Before getting off the car, Shen Ci said playfully, and took the initiative to reach out and hook Tang Song's head and kiss him.
Tang Song's excited hands began to become dishonest, and Shen Ci pushed them away at the right time: "I'm leaving!"
Without waiting for Tang Song to speak, she pushed open the door, jumped out of the car, and ran into the gate without looking back. Tang Song looked at her until her back disappeared before he took his gaze away.
After adjusting his mood for a moment, he started the car again.
A forest garden villa hidden in the mountains halfway up the mountain in the northern suburbs of Longcheng has gathered many prominent figures of Longcheng today.
It’s the old man of the Tang family’s 66th birthday. Anyone who has received an invitation must give him a favor.
When Tang Song arrived, the place was bustling with activity. He carried the gift and headed straight for the main villa. After entering, he saw the old man surrounded by his old friends, chatting and laughing. He smiled and walked over quickly: "Grandpa, happy birthday!"
When Mr. Tang saw his grandson, his smile widened even more. He quickly extended his hand and said, "Grandson, you've arrived just in time. We were just talking about the younger generation, and your Grandpa Zhu's granddaughter is here too. She's about your age. Come and meet her."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a girl with exquisite makeup standing out among the old men. The moment she saw Tang Song, she was attracted by his righteousness and handsome appearance, and she lowered her head slightly with shyness.
