Yu Bai was thinking about paying back the money for the antiques.
On the other side, Yu Sheng, who was having dinner with Fan Qi, heard his cell phone vibrate at an inopportune time.
The name jumping on the screen surprised Yu Sheng a little.
It turned out to be Li Baizhong.
"Hello, teacher." Yu Sheng pressed the answer button with his usual respectful tone.
Li Baizhong on the other end of the phone was not as calm as usual. His voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement, mixed with a bit of annoyance that made him feel helpless.
"Xiao Sheng! You finally answered the phone!" Li Baizhong said as soon as he came up, "The first half of the ounce you gave me... Oh, who knows who leaked it!"
"What's wrong, teacher?" Yu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, but he remained expressionless.
"What else can happen!" Li Baizhong raised his voice a little.
"Now everyone in the circle knows that Lao Wang and I each have a pair of top-grade Qin Banliang!"
"These past few days, my door has been practically trampled down! Everyone's rushing in to see it, and then trying to snatch it away!"
"Oh." Yu Sheng nodded.
"Oh what?" Li Baizhong said unhappily, "Don't you know how rare this thing is? Qin Banliang is..."
"It's not uncommon, but with this quality and this version, it's no exaggeration to say it's a unique piece! Lao Wang and I treasure it so much, how could we possibly sell it?!"
The old professor was obviously annoyed.
"I clearly said I'm not selling it, but people still keep asking! Isn't that annoying? My peaceful life is completely ruined! I might as well give you a call and ask, do you still have any...?"
Li Baizhong asked this question cautiously, obviously holding on to a glimmer of hope.
Yu Sheng knew clearly that Prince Fusu had given him more than one Qin Banliang, but he had no intention of spending it at the moment.
"Teacher, Qin Banliang is indeed gone now," he paused, then changed the subject, "but... I do have a number of unusual items at home."
"Something else?"
Li Baizhong's interest was immediately piqued, and the jade ring he had bought at a high price flashed through his mind.
"It's also from the Qin Dynasty? What is it? Tell me!"
Yu Sheng smiled and said, "I happen to have some photos saved here. Can I send them to you?"
"Send it quickly! Send it quickly!" Li Baizhong almost shouted, and the urgency in his tone was obvious.
Yu Sheng hung up the phone, carefully selected a few photos from his mobile phone album, and clicked send.
The protagonists of the photo are the bronze artifacts lying quietly in the blank space.
A few seconds later, the phone rang again and was answered almost instantly.
"Xiao Sheng!!"
This time, Li Baizhong's voice was trembling with disbelief, and even his breathing became heavier.
"I saw the photo! This... is this a bronze artifact?! A bronze sword from the Qin Dynasty?! And a dagger?! The condition... the condition is so intact?!!"
Even through the phone, Yu Sheng could imagine his mentor's excited look at this moment, with his eyes wide open and holding the phone to confirm repeatedly.
"You... these things... where are you now?!" Li Baizhong spoke very quickly, "No, no, tell me, when can I see the real thing?! As soon as possible! When is the soonest possible?!"
Faced with his mentor's barrage of questions, Yu Sheng pondered for a moment.
After all, these things belong to his sister Yu Bai, and he cannot make decisions on his own.
"Well...teacher," Yu Sheng said carefully, "all the things belong to my sister. I need to discuss the specific arrangements with her first."
"Yes, yes, yes! You should have! You should have asked first!"
Li Baizhong reacted immediately, but the desire in his tone did not diminish at all.
"Then ask as soon as possible! Call me as soon as you've done your homework! I'll be waiting for your news! I'll definitely be waiting!"
"Okay, teacher." Yu Sheng agreed and hung up the phone.
In the box, Fan Qi had been listening quietly. When he saw him put down his phone, he asked curiously:
"Is that you, teacher? You sound very excited. Did you come across something precious?"
Yu Sheng looked at the photo of the bronze ware he had just sent on the screen of his mobile phone with a deep look in his eyes.
baby?
It's more than just a treasure.
If this were to be made public, it would probably cause a huge uproar in the entire archaeological community.
He smiled and said to Fan Qi, "It's just a small matter. Let's continue eating."
Yu Sheng's casual remark "a little thing" was like a thin veil, gently separating Fan Qi's inquiring gaze.
She saw that he didn't want to talk more.
A slight sense of loss suddenly passed through my heart, like a feather sweeping across the water, creating a circle of imperceptible ripples.
This loss came so unexpectedly that Fan Qi was slightly startled.
It's not that she has to pry into other people's privacy, it's just...
Just today, from the hospital to here, his attentiveness, his respect for her...
Even the calmness and vicissitudes of life that he occasionally revealed, which were inconsistent with his age, attracted her like a magnet.
Fan Qi was extremely aware of one fact - she seemed to have developed a liking for the man in front of her.
A meaning that goes beyond the boundaries of ordinary friends, with a slightly accelerated heartbeat...
Because of this, Yu Sheng's alienation and sense of boundaries at this moment reminded her particularly clearly: there is a huge distance between them.
One was a patient, the other a temporary attendant. That was all.
Thinking of this relationship, the sense of loss that had just emerged was forcibly suppressed by her and turned into an almost inaudible sigh.
Yu Sheng naturally didn't notice the complicated thoughts in the girl opposite him.
But if he knew what Fan Qi was thinking at the moment, he would definitely smile bitterly.
Because Fan Qi only guessed half right.
There is indeed a distance between them, but the affection is not one-way.
If he didn't have feelings for her, why would he go out of his way to find a reason to "thank you" and insist on treating her to a meal after the incident?
Wouldn't it be easier to just say thank you at the hospital entrance?
However, Yu Sheng also hid this affection carefully, even more so than Fan Qi.
The girl in front of me is a medical student from a good university. She is well-spoken and has a gentle temperament.
Even if you work as a medical attendant now, you can still make a living based on your professional knowledge, which is decent and free.
Looking at her dress, although not ostentatious, it reveals her good family background and upbringing.
And what about him?
Yu Sheng curled the corners of his lips in self-mockery.
Lame, junior high school graduate, and without a decent job...
How can a man like him get close to such a clean and bright girl?
This was the first time in more than 20 years that he had such a clear affection for a girl.
But as soon as this budding feeling emerged, he trampled it into the ground.
Dare not express it, cannot express it, even... don't deserve to express it.
Therefore, he could only maintain superficial calmness and suppress his throbbing and inferiority.
Then, the box returned to silence, with only the occasional sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding.
The aroma of food still filled the air, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two of them.
Everyone was thinking about their own things and no one spoke easily.
