Chapter 051 Chapter 51

After handing the "suspicious items" and the "suspicious man" to Ding Ling, A Yan and Zhu Jue turned around and left.

Their experiences from childhood to adulthood have taught them not to interfere in matters that are not their business.

Especially in a situation that is beyond our capabilities and may involve the smuggling of cultural relics and the mysterious instruments of the Ghost King, as two ordinary people, we would naturally stay as far away from them as possible.

There was curiosity, but it was directly killed by Yan's hands!

Apart from anything else, if they continued to stay, when more official personnel arrived, Ayan and Zhu Jue would inevitably have to go on a day trip to the police station or some special case handling location.

Recording confessions and taking notes are definitely necessary.

But now we can hand it over to Ding Ling directly. I believe that Ding Ling will definitely handle it well and make special arrangements for special matters, and let them just be righteous passers-by.

Ordinary people just want a peaceful and quiet life, they don't need anything grand and exciting.

After all, they just came out to the antique street to pick up something today and just wanted to spend an ordinary weekend.

As for what incident this bronze bell was involved in, don't ask if you don't need to.

Anyway, there is no surveillance in the Liang family compound. Even if the man said something in his confession, Ding Ling would definitely help him cover it up.

The two of them returned to Boss Tu's shop carrying their things. After struggling for a while, they decided not to consecrate the ring since it had already been put on, but to commission others to do the consecration.

"Let's hold the ceremony at Fayan Temple. I'll send you the time then, and you can also come and have a look next month." Boss Tu said as he put away his things and flipped through his phone.

“The Buddhist scriptures distribution center there is very famous, and the Guanyin oracle is also very accurate.”

Ah Yan nodded, "We'll see when the time comes."

After thanking Boss Tu for the meal, Ayan and Zhu Jue took the subway back to school.

Ayan was carrying a small bag and holding a handbag from the restaurant, while Zhu Jue was carrying a ring box.

"I originally wanted to stay for half a day, but I didn't expect to spend a whole day in the Antique Street." Ah Yan leaned on Jue Jue out of habit.

Originally, the two of them planned to come here to pick up their things and leave, but unfortunately, there were no specific arrangements and the plans did not change quickly.

"Otherwise I'd have nothing to do in the afternoon, and I'd get a free meal." A Yan quickly found comfort.

They took the jade, had a meal, watched videos, and did good deeds. It was a very fulfilling day!

"Do you want to go to the beach next week?" Zhu Jue asked her, holding her hand.

Bincheng is located on the sea, and the port transportation is extremely convenient. The two have been here for school for a month, but have never been to the seaside.

But it is already November, and the temperature in the East China Sea is no longer suitable for going into the sea.

"Okay. It's a good opportunity to go and relax." Ah Yan's eyes lit up.

The capital Ningcheng is inland. In the past, every time I went to the beach, I had to drive several hours away from Ningcheng, so I started to get excited a few days in advance.

Ayan remembered that there were several islands on the coast of Bincheng, with mountains, sea and ports, which were enough to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Before the next week, the two had already started searching for tourist attractions and travel guides on their phones.

"Look ahead to Saturday or Sunday, when the weather is nice and windless. We can take a leisurely walk."

Ah Yan was getting more and more excited as he looked at the blogger's PLOG and photos. He had already started thinking about what clothes he should wear to take beautiful photos at the beach.

She collected a lot of guides, and the two of them were in a very good mood after getting off the subway.

Although they had just returned from outside the school, A Yan and Zhu Jue were not in a hurry to return to the dormitory.

They have become accustomed to staying for a while in the alley where there are usually no other classmates, quietly enjoying their own world.

Watching the sunset and listening to the wind in the trees.

Zhu Jue skillfully wiped the bench with wet wipes and paper towels, and A Yan took out the "Tong Xin Su" given by the Shangwei Restaurant from his bag.

She tilted her head and opened the box. This "Tongxinsu" snack was two pieces of cake wrapped together and could not be eaten separately.

"This is the first time I've seen this snack. It looks like an enlarged version of a heart-shaped knot made of woven ropes." Ah Yan said.

She checked on her phone.

"Dim sum symbolizes eternal union, and two hearts cannot be separated. In traditional customs, the newlyweds taste dim sum together on their engagement and wedding days. They eat together and share the same heart."

Ah Yan read out the information she had found on her phone, and Zhu Jue also looked at her phone, which showed a picture of an engaged couple biting a piece of confectionery facing each other.

Ah Yan blushed, "Miss, do you think I'm proposing to you?"

She recalled that the two of them happily put their rings on each other's fingers! It was easy to think that they had exchanged rings.

A Yan:!

Maybe it was really misunderstood.

"No wonder the young lady specially pretended to be like this." A Yan said.

This "Tongxin Su" is not very big. If one person eats half of it, it is just the right amount for one bite.

The fact that two people had to eat it together clearly showed that the young lady knew that it was inconvenient to eat this thing in public.

"If you don't like it, then don't eat it." Jue Jue looked at her gently.

"No." Ah Yan shook his head.

This was given to me by my sister. It has such good meaning, how could I throw it away?

Ah Yan looked left and right, front and back, and confirmed that there was absolutely no one around, but he still felt a little embarrassed.

She hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, picked up the concentric pastry and gently bit one end of it.

As soon as Yan took a bite, he realized something was wrong; this snack seemed very fragile.

Damn it, it can’t break when you eat it!

Ah Yan wanted to call Jue Jue, but now she couldn't make a sound. She grabbed the back of Jue Jue's neck with both hands, pressed her legs on Jue Jue's thighs, and pressed her whole body forward.

Zhu Jue tilted his head slightly, and their noses touched lightly. The familiar scent of hair lingered around her neck. He opened his mouth and bit the other half of the pastry. The tips of their lips touched lightly, and the soft touch made people's hearts soften.

I don’t know how this pastry is made, it seems to melt quickly when you take a bite, and the sweet taste goes down in one gulp.

Ah Yan ate the Tongxinsu according to custom, blinking her eyes. She felt the barely detectable stubble on her chin and smelled the familiar mint scent on her clothes.

She pursed her lips and called out, "Jue Jue."

"Hmm?" Zhu Jue kept his eyes on her without any distraction, and his hands were firmly around her waist.

The next second, her soft lips covered his lips directly. Zhu felt his subconscious tighten his grip. He felt his mind go blank and fireworks were exploding in his brain.

Their warm breaths entangled with each other, and they pecked each other's lips, lightly and clumsily.

The atmosphere was interrupted by the sudden vibration of the cell phone next to him. Ah Yan covered his face with his hands, got off Jue Jue's body and looked at the phone.

It’s a text message from the express delivery station.

A Yan quickly looked left and right, there was no one, really no one.

The heat surging on his face was getting better and better. Zhu Jue stood up from the bench. His ears were red as if they were dripping blood, and the corners of his lips couldn't stop rising.

He strode forward, and the usually calm young man opened his arms, picked up A Yan, and started spinning around on the spot, laughing.

"Feel." With their chests pressed against each other, Ah Yan could feel Feel's violent heartbeat.

"I want to travel through time to three years later." Zhu Jue's deep voice contained an uncontrollable smile and a hint of depression.

"I really want to get married soon so that I can have a legitimate status." The two of them were still hugging each other, and he said with his head down.

They were both born in the same year, but I had to wait two years to reach the legal age.

Every time I come here, I feel very depressed. In these two years, I don’t know how many halo men I will meet.

Ah Yan burst out laughing, her big eyes were shining, and there seemed to be stars in her eyes.

"From childhood to adulthood, everyone knows that you have a status."

She held Juejue's hand and shook it.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the rings on their left hands, and Ayan blinked.

"Hmm, how about an engagement ring?"

For Ayan, she does not think that marriage is any different from now except for a legal marriage certificate.

She and Jue Jue will be together forever in this life, there is no other possibility.

Since he feels that he wants to have a formal relationship sooner, huh, then she will just satisfy him reluctantly.

A Yan posted a circle of friends.

[Ayan]: I and Juejue made an engagement ring in advance, how is it? [photo.jpg]

The photo shows two hands clasped together under the setting sun, revealing rings of the same quality.

Although everyone is used to showing off affection in Moments posted over the weekend, this post from Ah Yan immediately caused a huge uproar.

[Chu Bingbing]: Ah? Ah? Ah? When are you getting engaged?

【Gu Jiasui】: [Gift][Red Heart][Kiss]

【Easy to know】: Good looking.

[Chu Shen]: The ring is beautiful, happiness is perfect, harmony is beautiful, and the marriage will last forever.

【Lin Fan】: [Thumbs up] Waiting for the wedding.

Zhu Jue naturally also posted a message on his Moments.

【Zhu Jue】: Countdown 1088 days. [photo.jpg]

When A Yan was sent back to the dormitory by Jue Jue, he saw Chu Bingbing and Yi Zhi surrounding him with gossipy looks on their faces.

"Ayan, is Zhu Jue proposing to you?"

"The engagement ring is ready."

Ah Yan coughed and said, "No."

"How old are we?"

She snapped her fingers and said, "We have ordered the ring. I think she wants a name, so I want to show it off."

Ah Yan felt a little embarrassed. He was used to showing off normally, but this time, many people were shocked by his behavior in the circle of friends.

"Hey, hey, you think it's okay? You want a formal status? This kid knows how popular our Ah Yan is." Chu Bingbing said hurriedly.

Yi Zhi also laughed happily. Such love was too rare in the end times.

The two of them stretched their heads to look at Ah Yan's ring. "It's made of jade. It seems that it's quite rare to use this kind of stone for wedding rings."

Chu Bingbing scratched her head, it seemed that wedding rings were all of relatively simple styles, and proposals were often made with large diamond rings.

However, the ring in front of him is very consistent with Ayan's temperament, low-key and reserved, gentle as water.

“It’s an egg-shaped jadeite of the icy variety.” A Yan explained.

"Very beautiful, suits you." Yi Zhi praised without reservation.

Ah Yan felt guilty when he heard Yi Zhi's words. This was the jade that Yi Zhi had given up, and he didn't know whether she would recognize it.

In fact, Yi Zhi did not recognize it.

Because she didn't know much about the gambling stone business itself, and the same was true for jadeite. Even though she had opened chicken-oil yellow and imperial green jadeite last time, she only understood the rough classification and the different names of top-grade jadeite.

However, the raw stone that she touched through her special ability and the small jade ring face that appeared after several steps of grinding and polishing were completely different.

Chu Bingbing asked Ah Yan for the address of this store. "It's in the antique street. It's too complicated to find jade and gemstones online. I'll go to this store next time when I have time. I don't have any jade jewelry yet."

Chu Bingbing thought, since it was the store chosen by Ah Yan, it must be reliable and there won't be any problems.

She casually searched on Xiaohongshu and immediately found a lot of relevant information.

Wow! What a good guy! Chu Bingbing took a closer look and said that it looked familiar. She had seen it on the trending search before.

"It's the jade shop that produces imperial green and chicken-oil yellow jade." Chu Bingbing sighed.

When she said this, Ah Yan just said "hmm", and Yi Zhihun beside him tightened his body quietly.

Which store? Which store did Yan order her ring from?

Yi Zhi suddenly remembered that it was no wonder that the young couple was there at that time. After calculating the time, he estimated that the ring was custom-made before.

So their encounter was probably just a coincidence? Yi Zhi thought, and relaxed for a rare moment.

As soon as A Yan sat down, a caller ID with the name "Xu Jiaojiao" appeared on his phone.

She raised her eyebrows. What was going on? Could it be that something happened to Xu Jiaojiao, or did she suddenly come to Bincheng?

"Hello." She answered the phone.

"Ayan, are you and Zhu Jue going to get engaged?" It was the first time that Ayan heard Xu Jiaojiao's voice so loud, showing that she was quite surprised.

It was for this...

"When? Where? How come I don't know? Why didn't you tell me?" She asked a series of questions in succession, and Ah Yan finally caught a glimpse of the answer.

"We are not engaged. Have you not carefully read my circle of friends?"

"I took a photo of a ring to make an engagement ring," she said.

"Oh, is that so? I was scared to death." Xu Jiaojiao's voice finally softened.

"Ji Mingyan told me this all of a sudden, so I called you right away. This idiot made me so mad." Xu Jiaojiao cursed subconsciously, then she coughed twice, aware of her image.

"There's no need to get engaged so early. We are so young and uncle and aunt are not in a hurry. I think Zhu Jue is just grabbing land so that you can't escape." Xu Jiaojiao sneered across the phone.

After being reborn, she now dislikes all men in the world, but she always hopes that Ah Yan can take his time to choose. Zhu Jue's little thoughts of secretly posting on WeChat Moments every day can be seen by ghosts.

Ah Yan laughed when he heard her words: "Okay Jiao Jiao, why didn't I tell you in advance that I was engaged?"

"Okay. I know you have to let me be prepared so that I can prepare the gifts in advance." Xu Jiaojiao said sweetly, acting coquettishly across the phone.

Ah Yan had to admit that the reason she was able to withstand Xu Jiaojiao's torture during her three years of high school was largely because she could not resist Xu Jiaojiao's beauty and coquettishness.

When Xu Jiaojiao spoke coquettishly, A Yan would accompany her up the mountain and go into the water.

"I know, I know. It's still early." A Yan said.

"Let's not talk about me anymore. How have you been lately?" It was a voice call instead of a video call, so Ah Yan couldn't see what Xu Jiaojiao looked like now.

It has been three weeks since they last met in the desert town. When Yan thought of those men who all had the thought of rebirth on their heads, she felt her scalp tingling. Fortunately, she was not in Ningcheng!

Shen Jingchen, Ji Mingyan, Liang Ruichi, Wen Yu, four reborn people, will this world really not be in chaos?

"Don't worry, everything is fine with me." Xu Jiaojiao talked to her phone while patting her sparkling manicure.

These four men have been acting like mad this month, like rabies. Tsk, they are competing with each other to please her. Xu Jiaojiao has received so many "free gifts" that she can't even hold her hands full. It will probably not be long before she can retire with honor.

Xu Jiaojiao realized their abnormality almost as soon as they met. Their habits, characteristics, tone and expressions should not be from them at this time period. She was too familiar with these four men.

But they really don't know her.

She was originally worried that the slight changes in her life would cause some men to become suspicious, but that was not the case at all.

Their personalities remained the same as before; they just did what they wanted to do and said what they wanted to say, and never paid attention to Xu Jiaojiao's own thoughts.

Xu Jiaojiao knew very well that the competition among the four of them now was nothing more than replacing the former Su Nian with her, and treating the current Xu Jiaojiao as their own property, an object of theirs, a thing, but they would not pay attention to the difference between this object and the past.

Recently, they were instigated by her to set traps for each other. Liang Ruichi went to find faults with Wen Yu, Wen Yu and Ji Mingyan were entangled in the same school, and Shen Jingchen was also troubled by the Liang family. Xu Jiaojiao had two days of peace and quiet, and she took stock of her current assets.

Her net worth is in the low nine figures. If she works hard to get it to ten figures, she can officially retire. What gift will she give Ah Yan then?

Xu Jiaojiao chatted with Ah Yan for twenty minutes before hanging up the phone. She then switched to her Moments to read what the couple had posted.

"How did you order the jade ring?" she murmured.

"It's not good to have someone else give you a wedding ring, so it's better to get a set of jewelry."

With the vision from her previous life, Xu Jiaojiao could naturally see that the quality of this jade was good, above average, but not the best.

Even in her previous life, the jadeite she had worn was basically no less than ice quality.

She began to search on her phone based on her past life memories. Xu Jiaojiao fell into deep thought, "When was the set of colored gems taken in my past life?"

After searching and searching, Xu Jiaojiao remembered something. For the sake of Ayan's happiness, she decided to do something.

Xu Jiaojiao quickly searched a few keywords and found a public account. She read several articles in succession. After quickly browsing through them and making sure that it was the content she wanted, she clicked to collect it.

Afterwards, she checked her WeChat friends and found a male acquaintance to send the message on her behalf in order to avoid suspicion since she was Ah Yan’s good friend.

He Wuji, she remembered that this boy seemed to have a good relationship with Zhu Jue, and she had the impression that he was a mysterious and good person.

...

In the Liang family courtyard, Ding Ling gently shook the bronze bell in her hand, feeling the power in it.

The ringtone was pleasant and carried a strange power. She cleared her mind and was instantly distracted.

It is confirmed that this bronze bell is the bell of conscience.

The "Qingning Bell" that Ding Ling exchanged from the special case team's treasure house was a later name. The original name was "Confusing Heart Bell".

The one in front of us is the "Bell of Questioning the Heart" corresponding to the "Bell of Confusion". They once belonged to a special ethnic group. Later, due to the division of the ethnic group, the branch responsible for the Bell of Questioning the Heart disappeared and there was no record of it anymore.

The "Confusing Heart Bell" that was renamed the Purifying Heart Bell was placed in the treasury for a hundred years to be purified. As for the Questioning Heart Bell, it was completely lost and could not be found for hundreds of years.

Ding Ling never expected that today, here, the Heart Bell would appear.

No, this is definitely not a coincidence.

Ding Ling's eyes flickered. How could it be such a coincidence?

It was only a month since she gave the tranquility bell to A Yan. I think that A Yan must have recognized the origin of this thing by then.

With Ah Yan's strength in cultivation, his mind moves as he wishes, and I'm afraid that he has already received some kind of response from heaven.

She may have just thought about it casually, and this bell of conscience appeared at the right time afterwards.

"Sister Lingdang." Xiaogua, a member of the special case team, appeared beside Ding Ling.

The man was taken to the car, and in order to prevent him from saying anything he shouldn't, Ding Ling directly sealed one of his acupoints.

They brought this "bell of conscience" back to the bureau, which immediately attracted the attention of many members.

"The lost soul-searching bell, isn't it a pair with the tranquility bell? Have you found it now?"

"Looking at the style and witchcraft patterns, it should be correct, but further confirmation is needed."

"Has the Qingning Bell been taken away now? We need to ask Lingdang to borrow it back for comparison." The member who spoke was very polite to Ding Ling.

"Sister Lingdang is very lucky. Just after she exchanged the Peaceful Bell, the Conscience Bell was given to her. This is what belongs to you." Xiaogua said.

Ding Ling didn't say anything, but silently denied Xiaogua's words in her heart.

It's not mine, it should belong to Ayan and the others. I just got lucky.

While his colleagues were looking at Wen Xin Ling, Ding Ling checked his cell phone.

She reported to A Yan that they were safe and confirmed that the young couple had returned to school safely.

Click on Ayan’s profile picture and you will see her latest circle of friends.

"Engagement ring..."

Ding Ling's eyes moved slightly. Considering what Ah Yan had done for her, anything would be the most appropriate gift for their wedding.

Her eyes were also focused on the conscience bell in front of her. This bronze bell was a pair and was valuable enough. It should have been given to Ah Yan.

As a wedding gift, it should come in pairs to convey good meaning.

Now that we have tracked down Xiaomei and He Jiajia's cases, based on the current progress, plus the recovery of the Bell of Conscience today, this will be another great achievement.

Ding Ling calculated in her mind that although she had already exchanged the Peaceful Bell, there might be someone eyeing the new Conscience Bell. She had to work harder and exchange the Conscience Bell as soon as possible.

A pair of top-grade magic weapons, this is worthy of Ayan's identity.

In the boys' dormitory 414, Zhu Jue was sitting in his seat when he suddenly received a message from his high school classmate Dahe on his cell phone.

Dahe is a male classmate who likes metaphysics. It was he who introduced Mr. Tu to my shop to buy the Five Emperors Coins.

Zhu Jue originally thought that Dahe came to him from his circle of friends, but he didn't expect that the message he sent was so surprising.

【大賀】：Brother. I was asked by your girlfriend's best friend to send you something. [Don't blame me.jpg][Hammer in the head]

【大賀】: "A man who doesn't love himself is like rotten cabbage."

【Dahe】: "What should an engaged man do?"

【Dahe】: "Click to see what is the best dowry for a man? Keep your chastity! "

[Dahe]: "If a man wants to be the wife, he must think clearly about these things. "

......

Da He shared a series of links to articles on the official account. Zhu Jue knew who this "best friend" was even with his eyes closed.

He silently replied "thank you" and then clicked on the article in the link.

"If a successful man wants to please his wife, he must prepare his hardware. The three major items of marriage are indispensable, and at the same time, he must have the three transformations and one response of the new era."

"Three hardware, pure chastity, 14cm taller than the average, and eight-pack abs."

"Three turns and one response. Turn in front of my wife, turn behind my wife, turn together with my wife. Respond immediately when my wife gives the order!"

Zhu Jue fell into deep thought as he read the content. Did he read it before Da He sent it to him? He wondered if the person who stayed in Ningcheng would be involved in Xu Jiaojiao's incident.

After looking at the content, he thought about it, then forwarded it to Brother Fan and sent the link to A Yan.

After a while, he received a message from Lin Fan.

[Lin Fan (married with kids)]: I’ve learned a lot! Great stuff, I’ll save it! [Handshake]

【Zhu Jue (Engagement Ring Version)】: Learn together and make progress together. [Handshake]

On the other side, in the girls' dormitory 320, Ah Yan saw the link sent by Jue Jue. She clicked on it and her eyes widened.

【Feeling】: Do you want six-pack abs or eight-pack abs?

[Ayan]: Eight pieces feel good. [Thinking] But I feel like six pieces are enough, and they feel better.

【Jue Jue】：Hmm?

[Ayan]: It’s easy to know~

【Jue Jue】：Okay. \(^o^)/~
