Lu Jiaxin was not satisfied. The amount was far from what she had expected.

Lu Jiaxin knew that she had to pay a fee to ask someone to appraise a work. But Teacher Zhang refused to pay the fee and stuffed the envelope back into her hands: "Nowadays, many cultural relics have been lost. Little girl, I know you have difficulties, but I still hope you don't sell the painting carelessly. Otherwise, the painting will fall into the hands of those who are only interested in profit, and it will be sold outside and you will never be able to find it again."

Knowing that Lu Jiaxin was having a hard time, he couldn't say to stop her from selling paintings. He just felt sorry that so many treasures were being used as commodities for profit.

Seeing the sadness in his eyes, Lu Jiaxin said solemnly, "I won't sell the paintings carelessly. When I have money in the future, I will do my best to redeem the treasures that have been lost."

Teacher Zhang showed the first smile on his face when they came in. Although he felt that Lu Jiaxin couldn't do it, it was good that she had this intention.

When leaving, Lu Jiaxin bowed to Teacher Zhang: "Professor Zhang, thank you."

Teacher Zhang was stunned at first, then he came to his senses and said with a smile: "It's just a small favor for you, there's no need to be so polite."

After that, he said earnestly: "Child, after you sell this painting, go back to school. You are still young, and the most important thing now is to study, get into college and learn good skills."

Lu Jiaxin nodded heavily.

Professor Zhang was also sleepy, so he went back to his room to rest. It was already past three in the morning, and it was very cold outside. Considering Lu Jiaxin's health, Gu Wenfeng did not take her back immediately, and did not leave until dawn.

When they got outside, Gu Wenfeng saw that she was still worried, so he couldn't help asking, "The painting has been identified as an authentic work, why are you still not happy?"

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "I know it's real without authentication. It's impossible for the ancestors of the Sun family to go to great lengths to hide a few fake paintings in the secret passage. Brother Gu, Professor Zhang and the others are great people. I am a little, a little ashamed."

In her eyes, antiques and calligraphy and paintings are all money, and even if she buys antiques in the future, it is for appreciation. Unlike Professor Zhang and others, they do it to protect cultural relics and cultural heritage.

Gu Wenfeng understood that this girl was impressed by Teacher Zhang's personality charm. He smiled and said, "You can do it too."

Lu Jiaxin knew very well that she couldn't do it. She was a selfish person who only wanted to live a good life and enjoy life. It was impossible for her to devote herself. But when she made money in the future, she would collect cultural relics from overseas and donate them to the museum.

When she got outside the guesthouse, Lu Jiaxin couldn't help but sneeze loudly, and her head felt heavy. She felt something was wrong, so she went back to her room and quickly poured herself a cup of water to drink, but unfortunately her body was not strong enough and she quickly caught a fever.

Gu Wenfeng was worried, so he stood in front of the window and called twice. When there was no response, he went to knock on the door. Seeing that the door was still not opened, he called the waiter anxiously. Because it was locked, the door was finally kicked open.

Seeing Lu Jiaxin, whose face was red with fever and who was talking nonsense, Gu Wenfeng felt regretful and annoyed. He shouldn't have let this girl go with him yesterday. Now she is well and sick.

The waiter said: "Send him to the hospital immediately!"

Gu Wenfeng put Lu Jiaxin's box and canvas bag in his room, then returned and carried Lu Jiaxin to the hospital. When he carried her, he found that Lu Jiaxin was very light.

Generally, you can just take some medicine for a cold and fever, but when you go to the hospital and the doctor takes your temperature and finds it is 40 degrees, he immediately arranges for you to be hospitalized and receive intravenous drips.

When prescribing medicine, the doctor also scolded Gu Wenfeng: "If you have a fever, you must see a doctor. If you delay for another two days, you will become a fool with the fever."

A low-grade fever can last for two days, but if it is this high and lasts for one or two days, it is likely to damage the brain. Some parents are careless and end up causing an irreparable tragedy.

Gu Wenfeng didn't explain, he took the doctor's prescription and went to pay. While Lu Jiaxin was getting the IV drip, he stayed by her side.

"Brother Gu, thank you for your help."

Lu Jiaxin felt sore all over her body. She felt so painful when she moved that she couldn't even stand up. In her previous life, she would catch a cold once or twice a year, and occasionally have a fever, but she never felt as uncomfortable as she did now.

Gu Wenfeng didn't blame her, but just reminded her: "In the future, you should take care of your body and don't be so stubborn, otherwise you will regret it too late if you develop a disease."

"Not again."

Lu Jiaxin felt that it was a bad idea. If she had known it would take so long, she would have left the painting with them and returned to the guesthouse yesterday, and then went to get it this morning. Alas, she was greedy, wanting to have a good relationship and learn more by staying there, but ended up making herself sick.

Gu Wenfeng asked, "Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."

He didn't dare to leave when Lu Jiaxin was in a semi-comatose state just now, and now that she is awake, it's time for her to eat something. But just in case, he still asked the nurse to help keep an eye on her.

Gu Wenfeng came back after more than ten minutes of being out, bringing Lu Jiaxin a meat bun and egg porridge. Gu Wenfeng asked, "Can you eat it yourself? If not, I'll feed you."

Lu Jiaxin didn't want him to feed her, it was too embarrassing.

"We are all in the hospital, where did we put the things?" Lu Jiaxin asked in a low voice while drinking porridge. If the things were lost, it would be like cutting her flesh.

Gu Wenfeng comforted him, "Don't worry, they are all in my room!"

After the drip, Lu Jiaxin was ready to go back, but was told that she had been hospitalized: "The doctor said that although your fever has subsided, it may relapse. Stay in the hospital for observation for a day. If you don't have a fever today, we will take some medicine back to the guesthouse tomorrow."

Lu Jiaxin didn't dare to be brave anymore. She felt that she would catch a cold last night, but she didn't expect it to be so serious. She felt much better after taking medicine during this period, but she didn't expect it to be superficial.

Leaning against the head of the bed, Lu Jiaxin asked worriedly, "Brother Gu, is it safe to leave our things in the guesthouse?"

"Don't worry, the guesthouse is well managed and no one can stay here without a letter of introduction. We are dressed very casually, so thieves won't target us. But if you're worried, I'll go over and get your stuff this afternoon."

Lu Jiaxin took the opportunity to say, "It's hard to find a buyer for a while. Brother Gu, let's rent a house! It doesn't matter if it's a little expensive, as long as the transportation is convenient and the public security is good."

Gu Wenfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Lu, you'd better not do business. You have never done business before, and you won't make any money if you don't have anyone to support you. Save the money from selling paintings, it will last until you graduate from college."

Lu Jiaxin did not hide it. After spending some time together, she completely trusted Gu Wenfeng: "I am going to make a batch of leather shoes that are waterproof, warm and fashionable. There are no such products on the market now, and they will definitely be popular when they are made."

"Waterproof and warm is not difficult, but fashionable? Are you sure that the leather shoes you make will look good?"

"Of course."
