Lu Zhe noticed the subtle expressions on her face, but he didn't say anything, only a smile flashed in his eyes.
As time went by, more and more people entered the auction hall, eventually filling the entire hall. During this time, Shen Sisi went from being nervous at the beginning to getting used to it.
As the first item was brought to the stage, Chen Sisi, who had previously shown no interest, suddenly brightened up, and even straightened up unconsciously, as if she wanted to see it more clearly.
As the items on stage were magnified, the delight in her eyes became palpable.
Her little gestures did not escape the eyes of those around her, who understood that she was interested and showed a very affectionate smile.
The first item presented was a one-of-a-kind bracelet, designed by a master designer. Most importantly, the designer of this bracelet has passed away, making it a unique piece.
The design of the bracelet and the gemstones on it deeply touched Chen Sisi's heart.
"You like it?" Lu Zhe had somehow gotten close to her face.
She nodded thoughtfully, about to say she liked it, but the words caught in her throat the moment she heard the starting price.
"It's... alright."
The little girl appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was cursing.
Family members, does anyone know anything about this? It seems she encountered a bracelet assassin. What kind of bracelet is worth tens of millions? Even if it's a one-of-a-kind bracelet in the world, it shouldn't be that expensive, right?
I'll just ask Qiqi for one when the time comes...
Lu Zhe smiled when he saw the little expression on her face.
He's been with Shen Sisi for so long, how could he not know what she's thinking?
Noticing that the big shots around him had already started bidding, Lu Zhe made his bid under the girl's shocked gaze.
"Ah Zhe, it's actually not necessary..."
His movements were fluid and effortless. Even when others tried to snatch it, he didn't hesitate to raise the price without any hesitation. Before Chen Sisi could say anything more, the bracelet was already in his pocket.
Chen Sisi: "..."
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the items at today's auction don't seem to have anything to do with antiques. Coincidentally, every item that comes on stage fits Shen Sisi's aesthetic perfectly.
If it were just one or two incidents, that would be one thing, but if it's like this from beginning to end, then it's no coincidence.
Shen Sisi could understand what was going on, and she tugged at Lu Zhe's sleeve with her little hand. "Did you organize this auction?"
Lu Zhe looked at her, pretending not to know anything, "How could I have such great abilities?"
Chen Sisi: "..." Liar, young master of the Lu family, with the Qi family behind him, this auction is just a matter of a few words.
As the auction concluded, Shen Sisi gazed at the pile of glittering, priceless jewelry before her, lost in thought.
“Ah Zhe, actually…”
"Shhh."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Zhe gently pressed his index finger down, gesturing for her to look towards the front.
Although the little girl didn't quite understand, she obediently looked over and saw that the auction, which should have ended, was still going on.
The host was wearing white gloves. Shen Sisi felt as if the host had glanced at her, but it was very quickly, so she wasn't sure.
Soon, the host spoke again.
"Next is the last item, which is different from all the previous items. This time it is a virtual item."
As they were speaking, a staff member brought something over, and as the host showed it to him, Chen Si Si noticed the words on it. "A contract?"
Almost subconsciously, she slowly looked at Lu Zhe beside her, but the boy did not answer.
"Please play the introductory video."
As the large screen behind her displayed the image, the impact of the sound and animation caused Chen Sisi's mind to freeze for a second. After she came to her senses, she was completely stunned.
From initial doubt to final confirmation.
When she turned her head again, her eyes were already red without her realizing it.
"Is that... us in this teaser trailer?"
The cartoon characters and the little things that happened between them were all too familiar.
Seeing Lu Zhe nod, the little girl felt a lump in her throat for some reason, and just stared at him, unaware that the preview playing on stage had ended.
"As you all just saw, it was a teaser trailer for a game, so let me explain its origins..."
Listening to the host's words, Chen Sisi became increasingly shocked, her body stiffening as she stared at the unrestrained, wicked man next to her.
Lu Zhe tilted his head and looked at her, as if he were looking at his whole world.
"This item has no starting price. Bidding begins!"
After he finished speaking, I thought the people around me would raise their placards like before, but they were surprisingly quiet.
That shouldn't be the case.
He stared at the paused animation screen, somewhat puzzled.
Although she wasn't a game designer or a computer science major, even as a layman, she could see that the game was meticulously crafted, with perfect layering and a very engaging story. She shouldn't have had no reaction at all.
Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, she met Lu Zhe's dark eyes. With just one glance, she seemed to understand something. A smile appeared on her lips, and under everyone's gaze, she slowly raised her placard.
"piece."
Everyone: "???" Wait, what is this?
While everyone stared at each other in disbelief, Lu Zhe suddenly smiled, as if he had already anticipated this outcome, and reached out to touch the little girl's cheek.
"One yuan once! One yuan twice! One yuan three times!"
With a 'bang', the host announced, "Congratulations, young lady, the rights to this game are now yours!"
If Shen Sisi still doesn't understand by now, then she's truly a fool.
As the auction ended and everyone slowly dispersed, only the two of them remained seated without moving.
When only the two of them were left on the field, Lu Zhe looked at the stubborn person in front of him and finally couldn't hold back anymore.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently pinching her cheek.
"Are you happy now that you've made amends with this? This game is yours now, do whatever you want with it."
"Why didn't you say so sooner? If I had known you'd been working on this game day and night, I definitely wouldn't be angry." She had deliberately ignored him because of this back then, and now that she thinks about it, it was really too much.
It was Lu Zhe who prepared the gift for her, but she not only didn't understand it, she also had a fight with him.
Making him stand downstairs in the middle of summer waiting for me, I want to slap myself now.
