Chapter 44: Auction at the Dinner Table
Xu He took care of Xie Liang during his hospitalization, and Long Qingye visited him two or three times during this period.
Every time Long Qingye came, the atmosphere in the ward would become extremely weird. Every time Xu He saw him, he would drive him out of the ward for various reasons.
Today is the day Xie Liang is discharged from the hospital. Xu He walked in front to handle the discharge procedures for him.
Xie Liang recalled that his parents were always there for him when he was sick, and it was his parents who were always there for him, busying around. Since his parents passed away, he hadn't felt this kind of meticulous care for a long time...
After returning home, Xie Liang transferred some money to Xu He through WeChat to thank him for his care over the past few days.
Unexpectedly, after the money was transferred, not only was it rejected, but Xu He also came down from upstairs with a gloomy face. He told Xie Liang not to do this again in the future.
At this time, Xu He was sitting on the sofa in Xie Liang's house. He lowered his head and looked a little lonely.
Xie Liang felt that his abrupt behavior had angered him, and explained: "Brother He, I just wanted to thank you, nothing else, but I didn't know how to thank you, so..."
"No, it's my honor to take care of you."
These words were like a sharp arrow, shooting straight into Xie Liang's heart. The indescribable feeling came over him again. Xie Liang couldn't help but cover his pounding heart and look at Xu He.
In Xu He's eyes, he looked like he was suddenly unwell.
Xu He stood up hurriedly: "What's wrong?"
Xie Liang smiled at him, "I'm fine, please don't be angry, okay?"
Xu He helped him sit down on the sofa: "I'm not angry."
"real?"
"Um."
"By the way, Lu Bubu said in the group yesterday that he wanted to invite us to dinner."
Xu He stared at the medicine prescribed by the hospital for Xie Liang on the coffee table, and said without raising his head: "If you want to go, I will accompany you."
The party organized by Lu Bubu was held in a private room of a restaurant in the next city. Xie Liang always felt that the place chosen by Lu Bubu did not suit his style.
Sure enough, when Xie Liang and Xu He went to the appointment that day, as soon as they walked into the private room, they saw Long Qingye sitting in the main seat.
When Lu Bubu saw them come in, he quickly asked them to sit down.
There were more than a dozen people sitting at the marble revolving dining table. Xie Liang glanced around and found that he only knew Long Qingye, Hong Guo, Xiao Ha, and Li Dong. He didn't know the others.
As soon as Xie Liang and Xu He sat down, Long Qingye handed him the menu with a smile and said, "It's my treat, order whatever you want."
After Xie Liang casually ordered two dishes, he handed the menu to Xu He beside him. Xu He didn't even look at it and passed the menu directly to the next person.
After everyone ordered their food, they began to discuss in low voices what was happening in the small world.
At this time, Hong Guo, who was sitting opposite Xie Liang, cleared his throat and said loudly, "Did anyone get a magic weapon in the dungeon this time? We will buy it at a high price."
Everyone started whispering to each other after hearing this. A descender Xie Liang didn't recognize said, "I don't have any magical tools, but I brought this back."
Then, the man took out a red stone from his pocket. Xie Liang took a closer look - it was a burning stone!
When Hongguo saw the thumb-sized burning stone in the man's hand, he immediately stood up from his seat, walked quickly to the man's side, and looked closely.
"Brother Ye, it's Originium!" Hong Guo shouted excitedly to Long Qingye.
Long Qingye leaned back in his chair lazily: "Name a price."
"300,000!" the man said.
"make a deal."
"Wait, no matter what price Long Qingye offers, I, Xu, will increase the price by 100,000." Xu He said.
Hong Guo slammed the table after hearing this and said, "Are you here to cause trouble?"
"Shouldn't Mr. Long have thought of this when he invited me here?"
Long Qingye looked annoyed: "I only called Xiaoliang, but who knew you, an uninvited guest, would also come along."
"You were the one who asked us to come," Lu Bubu said, raising his hand. "You asked my brother's friends to come along. I thought we were just going to have a meal and get to know each other, but who knew you were going to hold an auction? What a bummer!"
At this time, a man in black sportswear complained, "Brother Ye, the one I asked for last time was only 200,000. His is way too much!"
"Hmph! You just quoted the price yourself, but now you blame others." Hong Guo said coldly.
The man glared at Hong Guo and slammed his fist on the table. "I don't care. I won't sell it. Give me back the Burning Stone!"
Long Qingye glanced at him mockingly: "Okay, give me back my money."
"You! You...!" The man was so angry that he couldn't utter a complete sentence when he thought about the money he had spent and only had more than 10,000 yuan left.
Long Qingye ignored him and turned to the man who owned the Burning Stone and said, "I'll contact you again. We'll talk about the Burning Stone later."
At this time, the waiters brought the dishes one after another.
Except for two or three Adventers like Li Dong who were as careless as before and ate with gusto, the others had basically no appetite and just took a few symbolic bites before putting down their chopsticks.
When everyone had almost finished eating, the man with the burning stone came and asked for Xu He's contact information. Xie Liang guessed that he was planning to sell it to whoever offered the highest price.
In the end, the meal ended in a bad mood.
