Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun sat on the edge of the bed, their eyes fixed on the book and the jade pendant.
Lin Qing carefully brought the jade pendant close to the stone on the book. As they approached, the stone on the book suddenly emitted a bright light and then detached itself directly from the book.
The stone seemed to become more vivid the moment it left the book, and the warmth it emitted became even stronger.
Gu Nanxun gently placed the stone in his hand, feeling its warmth. He closed his eyes, trying to establish some kind of connection with the stone. Lin Qing watched nervously, hoping for a miracle.
Suddenly, the jade pendant in Lin Qing's hand began to emit a faint light, its glow echoing that of the stone in Gu Nanxun's hand, as if there were some mysterious connection between them. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and excitement in each other's eyes.
"Brother Nanxun, look, they seem to be communicating!" Lin Qing said excitedly.
Gu Nanxun nodded. He sensed that the stone contained some kind of power, which was trying to communicate with the jade pendant in Lin Qing's hand. He took a deep breath and then slowly brought the stone closer to the jade pendant.
The moment the two came into contact, a burst of intense light erupted, illuminating the entire room.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun had to close their eyes to avoid being hurt by the bright light. As the light gradually dimmed, they opened their eyes and saw an unbelievable scene.
The jade pendant and the stone miraculously fused together, forming an even more perfect piece of jade. This jade emitted a soft glow, seemingly containing boundless wisdom and power. Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun were both deeply captivated by this wondrous scene.
"What...what's going on?"
Lin Qing asked, stammering.
Gu Nanxun shook his head. He didn't know what was going on either, but he knew that the jade pendant and the stone were two magical objects.
"To find out the secret of this jade, we'll probably have to collect the remaining two stones."
Gu Nanxun thought for a moment and then said.
They have collected two pieces so far, but apart from the change in shape, they still can't tell what secrets the jade holds or how to unlock the treasure.
Lin Qing nodded and stopped thinking about it. After all, there was no point in thinking about it now.
After that, Lin Qing spent her time either wandering around or at home playing with the children and chatting with her mother-in-law, second aunt, and grandmother. Gu Nanxun, on the other hand, spent his time either wandering around with Lin Qing or going to meet friends with his grandfather, father, or eldest, second, and third brothers.
During this time, Zhao Xuan also regretfully expressed that they could not hold a banquet to formally introduce Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing to everyone. Due to the special circumstances, they could only introduce Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun to their close friends and relatives.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Time flies, and before they knew it, it was time for them to go back. This time, Zhao Xuan did not go back with them.
When they returned, only Lin Qing, Gu Nanxun, Chen Bin, Lu Xianghong, and Wang Haoran and Xu Fengjiao, who had come from Xu Fengjiao's house, were present.
Looking at the two couples who went back with her, Lin Qing thought to herself, "It seems that after we go back, there will be three more newlywed couples in Chaoyang Brigade."
The journey was exceptionally smooth, and nothing unexpected happened. However, when they passed through the neighboring province of Heilongjiang, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun got off the train to visit Gu Nanxun's uncle. Over the past year, Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing had received a great deal of care from their uncle, but they had never met him. Therefore, Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing discussed it and decided to get off the train one stop early to visit their uncle.
When the train arrived at the station, Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun carried Gu Nianqing off the train together. Although Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing had never met their uncle before, they recognized him at a glance. This was because their uncle was the only one standing upright in the crowd, wearing a military uniform and handsome. Despite being middle-aged, he was still very charming, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Zhao Xuan's.
"Uncle!" Lin Qing shouted loudly towards the handsome uncle in the crowd.
Upon hearing Lin Qing's call, Zhao Jinxiang's serious face suddenly broke into a bright smile, and he quickly walked towards Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun.
Zhao Jinxiang strode up to Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun. His gaze first fell on Gu Nianqing, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
"This must be Nianqing. He's so cute. He'll definitely grow up to be a handsome young man," Zhao Jinxiang said softly. Then he turned to Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun, his smile widening. "You two have finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
When Gu Nianqing saw Zhao Jinxiang suddenly rush towards him with an excited expression, if Lin Qing hadn't reacted quickly and caught Gu Nianqing, Gu Nianqing would definitely have been thrown to the ground.
Zhao Jinxiang took Gu Nianqing with a blank expression, and when Gu Nianqing rushed into Zhao Jinxiang's arms, she stretched out her two small hands and hugged Zhao Jinxiang's neck, then buried her face in Zhao Jinxiang's neck.
Zhao Jingxiang held Gu Nianqing stiffly, not daring to move. The soft little body in his arms made Zhao Jingxiang's heart melt completely.
Lin Qing sensed her uncle's cautiousness, so she smiled and said to him, "It's okay, Uncle, just hold him however you like. The little guy is very resilient."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinxiang relaxed a bit, then turned to Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun and said, "Let's go back first! You must be tired, go back and rest for a while."
They walked out of the station together, where her uncle's car was already waiting. They got in the car, but when her uncle tried to drive them home, Gu Nianqing clung to Zhao Jinxiang's neck and refused to let go.
"That's strange. This child used to be so clingy, why is he so attached to his uncle now?"
Lin Qing looked at Gu Nianqing, who was clinging to her uncle and wouldn't let go, and asked with a puzzled expression.
Gu Nanxun shook his head upon hearing this.
Gu Nianqing, who was in Zhao Jinxiang's arms, stiffened for a moment after hearing Lin Qing's words, but only for a moment. He still did not let go of the hand that was holding Zhao Jinxiang's neck.
"Uncle, why don't you give directions and I'll drive?"
Helpless, Gu Nanxun could only offer his suggestions.
"Okay, then you drive!"
Zhao Jinxiang handed the keys directly to Gu Nanxun. Gu Nanxun then drove, with Zhao Jinxiang holding Gu Nianqing in his arms on the side, while Lin Qing sat in the back.
Following the directions given by his uncle, Gu Nanxun quickly drove to his uncle's house.
My uncle's house is decorated simply yet warmly, showing that he is a person with good taste.
"Uncle, this is a gift from Nanxun and me to you."
After Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun sat down, Lin Qing handed her uncle a wooden box and said...
Zhao Jinxiang shook his head: "What gift should I bring? I'm just happy that you came to see me."
When Gu Nianqing, who was in Zhao Jinxiang's arms, heard Zhao Jinxiang say that he didn't want the gift, he immediately became anxious. He stretched out his two little hands, took the wooden box from Lin Qing's hands, and stuffed it into Zhao Jinxiang's arms.
Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun were dumbfounded. It wasn't that they were reluctant to give the gift; it was originally intended for their uncle. It was just that their son had acted this way...
