The next morning, Qi Siling got up and packed herself up before the little girl woke up. Before leaving, he leaned over to the bedside and kissed her face lovingly.
The girl was really exhausted last night. Thinking of her reluctant pleas to stay and then her urging, she felt hot again.
She stood up, put away her romantic thoughts, straightened her clothes, and finally opened the door to go out.
When he went downstairs, he saw Cao An and Xiao Hai sitting in the main room waiting for him.
"Not awake yet?" Cao An drank the porridge in the bowl and watched him slowly walk down the stairs.
"Yeah." Qi Siling walked to the table and picked up a bun. "Let's go."
The three of them left without a trace of consciousness, and Xia Youyou was still a little confused when she woke up. Looking at the situation in the room, she remembered that they had returned to Hua University.
"Brother Qi."
She cried out subconsciously, only to realize that the hand that usually hugged her was gone.
Then I remembered that they were going to Pengcheng today and must have already set off.
Xia Youyou curled her lips and sat up while rubbing her sore waist.
Thinking back to last night, she still felt a little embarrassed. That overly aggressive man had deliberately refused to give herself anything, dragging her feet and teasing her until she finally lost her patience and begged for mercy.
I got up despite my aching body, put on the teeth whitening device while walking, opened the door and went to the bathroom.
When I finished packing and went downstairs, Liu Hui just came in. Seeing that she had already gotten up, I stopped.
"Youyou, you must be hungry. I'm heating up breakfast for you up front."
Xia Youyou stepped forward and took her arm, "Mom, how long have my brother and the others been gone?
Liu Hui looked at the watch on her wrist. It was the one Cao An had given her last time he came back. "It's ten o'clock now. They left at eight."
It’s been two hours, he should have boarded the train.
"Mom, I'm going out for a while and will be back in the afternoon. You don't have to leave any food for me."
"Where are you going?" Liu Hui was worried. The three men were not around, so where was she going alone? "Mom will go with you."
Xia Youyou smiled and leaned on her shoulder. "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. I can protect myself. Don't worry." She knew what she was worried about. "You should have a good rest at home. Don't worry too much about the store. Just leave it to the employees."
"Mom knows. Do you really want to go alone?"
"Well, don't worry, Mom."
Liu Hui stopped talking and watched her finish her breakfast and get on the bus before turning back to the small supermarket.
Xia Youyou had only one destination on this trip, and that was Antique Street.
She got off at the nearest stop, confirmed the direction, and then headed towards Antique Street.
In the past, they always took me there by bike, but today is the first time I came here alone.
It was already lunchtime when she arrived. She hadn't digested her breakfast yet, so she wasn't hungry. She saw the vendors in Antique Street eating on the sidewalk with their bowls in hand, and curiously went over to look at their wares.
"Little girl, what do you like? I have everything here."
A vendor was eating while not forgetting to greet Xia Youyou.
"Let me take a look first." She searched the stall, looking at each one.
The vendor thought she was a layman who just wanted to broaden her horizons, so he didn't greet her and just let her look.
Not finding anything valuable at this stall, he walked into the alley along the stalls.
In fact, the antique stalls here sell antiques, to put it nicely, but whether they are really antiques depends on luck or eyesight. It all depends on whether you have them or not.
Moreover, with the gradual opening of the market, high-quality imitations have come out from the dark.
Xia Youyou looked around but didn't find anything special. Thinking about the authentic items she had bought from that vendor several times before, she focused on finding that person.
She is lucky, she always meets someone when she comes here.
The vendor was still standing there. When he saw the little girl looking around from afar, he quickly waved his hands to get her attention.
Xia Youyou saw it, avoided the crowded crowd, and walked towards him with difficulty.
"Are you setting up a stall here every day?" She finally squeezed to the front of the stall and took a quick look. Wow, there were several authentic items!
"Hey, little girl, why are you alone today?"
The peddler spoke with an authentic Beijing accent, which made Xia Youyou feel very surprised.
Hearing this, he just nodded and didn't reveal anything.
"Take a look, if there's anything you like this time, let me take care of the business."
"Okay, but don't tell me the price." He squatted down, picked up a tri-colored ware at random, and asked casually, "What's your name, little brother? You have a really authentic Beijing accent."
The vendor scratched his head a bit embarrassedly, squatted down and said to her, "Don't laugh at me, girl. My name is Wang Li. My family's ancestors were antique dealers. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they became profiteers. That's... you know, that's how down and out I am."
Seeing him scratching his head in embarrassment, Xia Youyou didn't laugh. These days, if you were an antique dealer, you would definitely be defined as a capitalist, which means you have a bad background.
She looked at Wang Li and smiled, "It will be fine in the future."
"Hey, thanks for your good words! Come, sister, take a look at what you like, brother will give it to you."
Xia Youyou refused, "No, I can't let you lose money, right?" She gave him the first three-color piece she had just picked up, "This is a genuine piece, keep it well."
Wang Li looked at the girl in front of him, who was probably not even twenty years old, with a look of shock on his face. "You..." He suddenly remembered the things she had bought here before. "So everything you bought before was real?"
She just smiled and looked at him calmly.
Wang Li understood. He gave her a thumbs-up and said, "You have good eyesight, sister! Even I couldn't see that. But you can buy this tri-color. I don't have much use for it. This is my job. I don't keep it just because I see it's real. I make a living by reselling it."
Xia Youyou understood that not everyone was like her, with the spare cash to buy antiques and collect them, hoping for their appreciation. She didn't beat around the bush and just pointed out a few items on the stall that she liked.
"This, this... I want all of these. Check out how much they cost."
Wang Li took one look at her and ordered five pieces directly, "Why do you want so many?" After saying that, he looked around, leaned close to her and asked in a low voice, "Are these all real?" When he collected them, he was not sure whether one of them was real or not. After knowing her ability, these pieces must be genuine.
Xia Youyou smiled and nodded, "Tell me how much it is. I won't bargain with you this time." She could see that this guy was a kind person and could make friends with him. "Next time you have something good, you can send me there and I'll buy it."
"Oh, what a generous girl!" Wang Li finally realized that this little girl was a big customer. "Okay! I won't be polite with you. If you give me fifty for these, I'll earn my hard-earned money."
"Deal." Xia Youyou didn't bother to be polite with him. Since it would be a long-term cooperative relationship in the future, there was nothing more to say.
