Jiang Xiaoli quickly said, "Shall we go to a restaurant first? I'm starving!"
Ren Zhiyi led them to a restaurant, saying, "The owner of this restaurant used to be the head chef of a state-owned restaurant. His cooking skills are excellent, and you will definitely like it!"
They ordered their food as quickly as possible.
Ren Zhiyi muttered to herself, "I should have known better than to have stayed home yesterday and set off with you guys today!"
Hu Jingxin and Chang Yue each put their arms around Jiang Xiaoli's arm, "Xiaoli, what does a kiss feel like?"
Jiang Xiaoli freed her arm, looked at the three of them one by one, and then shook her head.
Chang Yue asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by shaking your head?"
She said in a deliberately profound tone, "It's something that can only be understood, not explained!"
The three of them realized she was teasing them, and Hu Jingxin went straight for the point, reaching out to tickle her.
Jiang Xiaoli was quickly defeated by the three attackers, saying, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
Hu Jingxin reached out and pinched her chin, "Then hurry up and tell the truth!"
Jiang Xiaoli thought about it confidently for a moment, "It feels very comfortable to be with someone I like."
Chang Yue was not satisfied with her answer, "Answer Xin Xin's question!"
She smiled and said, "Everyone's feelings are probably different. You'll know when you're with the person you like."
Ren Zhiyi poured drinks into everyone's cups, saying, "I don't even know if there's such a person."
Hu Jingxin immediately replied, "Definitely!"
Chang Yue looked at Jiang Xiaoli with envy, "Xiaoli, I'm so envious of you."
Which girl doesn't dream of love? With Jiang Xiaoli, their sweet and loving roommate, the three of them were all incredibly envious.
Once all the dishes were served, Jiang Xiaoli raised her glass and said, "We're still young, and we'll have everything we want. I wish all three of you find good love soon!"
The three men raised their glasses and clinked them together with her.
Hu Jingxin asked, "Is there such a thing as bad love?"
This time, Chang Yue spoke up without Jiang Xiaoli having to say a word.
“There are so many. My dad often encounters this kind of thing when he's handling cases. Just recently, there was a case in the city next to ours. A couple broke up a month ago, and the man wanted to get back together with the woman, but she was already with someone else. So the man stabbed the woman and her boyfriend to death.”
"Hiss—" Hu Jingxin gasped, frowning as she said, "Such extreme people are a minority, after all."
Jiang Xiaoli took a bite of food and said, "This case is a bit extreme, but it still serves as a warning. Character is very important when dating."
Ren Zhiyi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's what my mom told me too."
Hu Jingxin nodded, "Yes, my dad told me to find someone considerate and caring, like Xiaoli's boyfriend."
Jiang Xiaoli proudly puffed out her chest, "My Xiao Zong is a rare breed, something you can only dream of!"
Chang Yue and the other two exchanged a glance. "What should we do? She's so arrogant. I really want to punch her."
Ren Zhiyi raised her left hand high, "I support you!"
Hu Jingxin immediately followed, "Xiaoyue, I support you too!"
Jiang Xiaoli panicked, "Isn't it inappropriate for the three of you to gang up on someone like this?"
Chang Yue pretended to clench her fist, "Is it appropriate for you to provoke the three of us like this?"
She was flexible and quick to back down, immediately raising the white flag and saying, "I was wrong."
I didn't know showing affection in public could be life-threatening! How terrifying! I'm so scared!
The four girls chatted and laughed as they finished lunch and arrived at the Panjiayuan Antique Market.
At this time, there weren't many stalls in the market; they were scattered throughout the market.
The four agreed to meet up again in a short time and then split up to go their separate ways.
Jiang Xiaoli had no idea about whether things were new or old. She only bought things based on whether she liked them or not. Once Master Gao finished repairing the courtyard house for her, she put all these little things there.
An hour later, the four of them met in front of Ren Zhiyi's shop.
Ren Zhiyi and Chang Yue each bought only one item, while Hu Jingxin bought three.
They were displeased when they saw Jiang Xiaoli carrying a large bag of things. "We don't compete by quantity!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and nodded in agreement, "Let's each choose one item to participate in the competition."
She casually took a small wooden box out of the bag. "I'll use this one."
Hu Jingxin also picked out one of her three items and placed it on the table.
Ren Zhiyi called her father over.
When Mr. Ren saw these four items, he couldn't help but shake his head. "You kids can just buy them for fun. These are just handicrafts."
Ren Zhiyi held up her small porcelain bowl and asked, "Dad, is this brand new? It's not even from the Republican era?"
Mr. Ren picked up the small porcelain bowl and looked at it again. “Daughter, if you don’t have the talent for this job, then study hard and find another job later.”
The three of them chuckled to themselves, "Zhiyi, we thought you were a real professional, but it turns out you're just like us."
Ren Zhiyi blushed slightly. "Please stop laughing at me."
Mr. Ren found the three of them quite amusing. “These two kids bought several items, right? Let me show them to you.”
Hu Jingxin immediately placed the other two bracelets she had bought on the table. "Uncle, these three bracelets of mine weren't bought from the same place. Are they all glass? I can't tell."
Mr. Ren examined the three bracelets carefully. “Girl, these two bracelets are indeed not glass, but they are both Xiuyan jade, so they are not worth much.”
Hu Jingxin wasn't disappointed. "It's okay. I just bought it for fun. It didn't cost much. I just bought it to show off."
Mr. Ren praised, "You have a good attitude."
Jiang Xiaoli bought a variety of items, both large and small, mostly packed in wooden boxes. The wooden box she just casually pulled out contained a bracelet, which was simply a pretty piece of glass.
Mr. Ren took out each of the items she had bought and looked at them one by one.
He quickly put down the other items after looking at them, but he lingered for a long time in front of a jade bottle.
Ren Zhiyi asked curiously, "Dad, is there something wrong with this jade bottle?"
Mr. Ren gave a wry smile. "To be honest, I really can't see anything wrong with this jade bottle. But something of this quality wouldn't be found at a street stall."
He turned to look at Jiang Xiaoli, "Little girl, which stall did you buy this bottle from?"
Jiang Xiaoli replied, "Oh, this bottle was brought by an uncle. Several people were surrounding him and saying that he was selling such a fake thing. I thought the bottle was pretty, so I bought it."
Mr. Ren nodded. "How much did you pay for this bottle?"
Jiang Xiaoli held out one hand, "5000 yuan."
The other three girls gasped in shock. The things they had just bought cost at most a few dozen yuan, while Jiang Xiaoli spent 5,000 yuan on a bottle!
