Chapter 60 The Taste of Loneliness



Shangguan Qing suddenly remembered the reminder from Hades asking her to keep the dagger safe.

She shook her head and said, "This will be my heirloom from now on. No one else can touch it."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Yu Hai's eyes.

"Let's go."

At Shangguan Qing's command, the three of them turned around and disappeared into the antique shop in the blink of an eye.

......

The stars changed overnight.

Cheng Ji fell into a deep sleep and could not remember the contents of his dream clearly, but he seemed to hear Shangguan Qing's voice vaguely.

He walked out of the bedroom and went downstairs.

"Uncle Yan, I was sick last night. Did you come into the room?"

Uncle Yan shook his head.

strangeness.

How come he got better so quickly this time?

In the past, it would take a week to recover.

Uncle Yan lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.

Cheng Ji opened his cell phone and saw a series of messages, which ruined his morning mood as expected.

However, among the many unread messages, he saw the one Qin Hao sent at around eleven o'clock.

The message read: [I owe you a favor this time, but it doesn’t mean the grudge between you and me has disappeared.]

It seems that Qin Hao has woken up.

She did it.

Thinking of this, Cheng Ji smiled and his eyes became much gentler.

"Mr. Cheng, there is one more thing. I saw a stack of cash in the mailbox at the door of my house." Uncle Yan took it out from the drawer of the sideboard and put it on the table. "A total of 520,000."

520,000...

"She's been here." His eyes darkened, "She was at the door, but she didn't even come in."

Treat him like the plague and avoid him.

Zhou Jiyan suddenly lost the mood to even eat breakfast and drove straight out to the group.

......

The sun came out a little at noon, but the sea breeze was still a bit cold.

Shangguan Qing sat outside the store with his eyes closed, basking in the sun and listening to the waves hitting the rocks one after another. This was probably the sound of overcoming hardness with softness.

Just as she was enjoying herself, someone broke the silence.

The voice came from behind her.

"Hello, I'm Ye Chuzhou."

"That voice..." She frowned, stood up slightly and turned her head, "It's you, do you have something to ask me?"

Then she lay back down again.

Ye Chuzhou walked in front of her and blocked her view.

"I want to ask you why you can save the patient by just drawing a tube of blood?" His expression was so serious that it was hard to ignore him, and the word "seeking knowledge" was almost written in his eyes.

You can tell at first glance that he is a model student in the school.

Shangguan Qing waved his hand to the side, "Stand aside and be my sight."

Although he is also quite good-looking.

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Once it is revealed, it will not work." Shangguan Qing teased him.

Ye Chuzhou continued to ask questions relentlessly, and even found a low wooden stool in the store to sit next to her.

It feels like the scene of a rich lady and her pretty boy butler.

Youxuan and Yu Hai gathered at the window to watch the show.

It has always been Lord Shangguan who plays the role of a scoundrel and pesters others, but now she has actually made a mistake and is being pestered by others.

This once-in-a-lifetime show cannot be missed.

Shangguan Qing glanced at Ye Chuzhou and pouted, "Doctors should go to the hospital to treat patients. I only sell antiques here, and I don't have any patients."

The implication is: Please go away and don't stay here with me.

Ye Chuzhou seemed to be stunned and didn't understand.

"No, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Only by learning better medical skills can we help patients." His tone and eyes were firm, "I won't leave!"

“…” She was convinced.

Shangguan Qing stood up and walked into the store, and saw Youxuan and Yu Hai just getting down from the sofa by the window.

The corners of his mouth twitched with anger.

She was extremely upset now, and the two of them were quite engrossed in watching the fun.

"If you have nothing to do, go out and run a few laps for me!"

"Yes, Sister Shangguan!"

The two men shouted "one, two, one" and ran out of the antique shop.

Ye Chuzhou looked around the environment inside the store. Although there were a lot of things, they were neatly arranged and there was no dust on the display cabinets. At first glance, the environment seemed quite good.

"Doctor Ye, you see I still have to run the store and run the business, so I can't teach you. Please go back." She advised him kindly.

Ye Chuzhou was determined as if he had swallowed a weight and refused to leave.

"If I buy your antiques, can you teach me?" he asked sincerely.

Shangguan Qing said, "The things in my shop are very expensive. One antique may be several times your annual salary. Are you sure?"

He casually pointed at an antique, a small and exquisite snuff bottle with auspicious clouds and flying cranes engraved on it.

"How much is this?" he asked.

"Fifty million." She said casually.

A doctor probably can't afford so much money.

Shangguan Qing guessed.

Ye Chuzhou looked at the snuff bottle made of white jade in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Sure enough...I can’t take it out.

"This is too expensive, and many customers can't afford it. This is normal—"

"I bought it." He said the unexpected three words calmly and casually.

Shangguan Qing was so shocked that he was stunned. "Ah? Fifty million to buy a snuff bottle, are you okay?"

It seems that I met a rich doctor, which was a bad idea...

"Well, it's okay, just buy it for 50 million." His tone was calm and he didn't sound like he was joking.

"I'll arrange for someone to send the money over right away."

After saying that, Ye Chuzhou started to take out his cell phone.

"Stop!" Shangguan Qing stopped him. "Since it is the last snuff bottle in the store, I think it is better not to sell it. It will be the treasure of the store and will not be for sale."

Ye Chuzhou put down his phone, looked up and pointed somewhere, and Shangguan Qing was about to press his hand.

I let out a long sigh. I finally met my match today.

"I believe in your ability now, but the things in the store can't be sold. Recently... Recently, there are old customers who want to choose, so old customers are given priority."

Phew—the excuse is so perfect.

"Then I'll give you the money directly, and you tell me the principle of how to save people, or you can take me as your apprentice."

Anyway, he has many masters, so one more won’t be too much, but one less won’t do.

One less person means one less way to save people.

"Why are you so stubborn?"

On par with her.

He lowered his eyes and saw another low stool, so he walked over and sat down.

Sitting upright with a serious face, "A doctor's heart is full of compassion. I believe you can understand that."

His innocent and clear eyes made her feel creepy.

She is a thousand years old, but she is entangled with a man in his twenties. If this gets out in the underworld, everyone will laugh their heads off.

Shangguan Qing looked aggrieved, "I really can't tell you. If I tell you, I'll be criticized."

Ye Chuzhou was full of righteousness, "Whoever wants to say something bad about you, I will help you say something bad about him."

"......"

Is this what she meant?

Shangguan Qing sat at the front desk, holding his forehead with one hand, silent and speechless, feeling depressed.

"Shangguan Qing!" Qiongqi suddenly shouted outside, "After so many days, have you found the thing?"

It turns out that this woman who knows medicine is called Shangguan Qing.

Like Dengqing Antique Shop, it has a very special name.

Qiongqi strode into the antique shop and saw another man inside.

"Oh! There's a handsome guy here, you Kaizi?" He spoke without thinking.

As expected of a ferocious beast, he doesn't even know how to control his words.

Shangguan Qing glared at him coldly, "If you can't speak, shut up! Do you believe me, I'll call Lei Jiaojiao over?"

When Qiongqi heard Lei Jiaojiao's name, his attitude softened instantly.

"Where's the stuff?" He walked to the front desk and held out his hand.

Shangguan Qing crossed his arms over his chest and said firmly, "No!"

"Impossible!" He was very sure, "I can feel its strong power, it must be nearby."

As soon as Qiongqi walked into the store, his heart began to beat uncontrollably.

It must be the short knife that suppressed him.

Ye Chuzhou was completely confused by their conversation.

It seemed like the man wanted something, but Shangguan Qing couldn't give it to him, so the man forced her to give it to him.

He said weakly, "Do you need help with that?"

He was asking Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing said, "If I need it, how are you going to help?"

She can't even handle it herself, how can this stupid kid solve it?

Ye Chuzhou walked up to Qiongqi and asked, "Sir, what are you looking for?"

"It's none of your business. You're just an ordinary person, so stay out of my business!" In Qiongqi's dictionary, there is only one word: "vicious".

Ye Chuzhou didn't expect his attitude to be so bad.

"My family is a medical family, and they are involved in various fields. Maybe I would know." His words and actions revealed his upbringing and politeness.

He really looks like a child from a medical family.

Qiongqi looked the man up and down.

He came out of nowhere and is so brave that I can't drive him away even if I shout at him.

"I'm looking for a dagger with a night-shining pearl inlaid on it." said Qiongqi.

Ye Chuzhou spoke slowly, "Is it the short sword that went to the battlefield a thousand years ago and then suddenly disappeared? Legend has it that it recognized General Brother as its master."

"That's right!" Qiongqi suddenly became interested, "Do you know where it is?"

Shangguan Qing began to feel curious about this Doctor Ye.

How does he know so much?

Know more than she does.

"I heard this from an elder in my family," Ye Chuzhou explained. "An elder in my family likes to collect rare items. The rarer the item, the more he wants it. I know a lot from what I've seen and heard."

Qiongqi is not interested in any family, he just wants to know where it is.

"Don't talk nonsense! Just tell me where you can find it."

"Uh..." Ye Chuzhou was in a dilemma, "I don't know."

"Are you kidding me?" Qiongqi was instantly irritated by him. If Shangguan Qing hadn't stopped him, he would have almost punched him.

She finally figured it out.

This man has never experienced the hardships of society and doesn't know how to write the word "fear".

"Lei Jiaojiao will be here later, why don't you come next time?" Shangguan Qing had to call in his savior.

Qiongqi was very angry, but he still left.

When Shangguan Qing saw him walking away, he finally felt relieved.

"What about you? Why aren't you leaving yet?" She was impatient now, and said, "I'll tell you when I can."

"Really?" A light flashed in Ye Chuzhou's eyes.

"real......"

It's just a matter of waiting for the day when his life ends and he takes the road from the underworld to report to the earth.

Ye Chuzhou left the antique shop contentedly.

My ears finally feel quiet again.

......

Night is falling.

Shangguan Qing had just returned to his new residence when a slight noise broke the tranquility of the night.

She walked to the balcony and listened carefully. It was the quiet and busy sounds coming from downstairs - the creaking of metal against wooden furniture.

Yu Hai responded, "There should be a new tenant downstairs. I saw that no one cleaned the balcony downstairs before."

You Xuan looked indifferent, lying on the sofa playing with his phone, "Who cares? You can't disturb my sleep!"

Shangguan Qing didn't pay much attention to the situation downstairs. It had nothing to do with her anyway.

She pushed open the bedroom door, and the moonlight filtered through the gap in the curtains, shining on her body, making her look dazzlingly beautiful.

Youxuan lay lazily on the sofa, his fingertips unconsciously wandering across the screen of his mobile phone, but his eyes suddenly froze.

He sat up suddenly, his nostrils twitched slightly, and a look of disbelief passed across his face.

"Wait, I... I seem to smell the scent of Cheng Ji." He muttered to himself, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his voice.
