Chapter 1 The Attached Jade Pendant

Next Chapter

In March, the spring rain continued, and it rained for five or six days continuously, and the two days finally cleared; The sun is shining, the breeze is caressing, as the weather warms, people have taken off their thick cotton clothes, happily put on a light jacket and T-shirt, in the sun and breeze wanton life, warm sunshine and light breeze, it is really pleasant!

At the Huimin Clinic not far from Xingcheng University, as the weather improved, business seemed to be booming at this time, and the injection room was already full of five or six patients hanging with water.

Xu Ze carefully pricked the needle of the last patient, adjusted the drip rate of the liquid, and then said hello to the nurse Sister Luo, then walked out, walked into the consultation room, looked at Doctor Zhang who was reading a book, and said cautiously: "Elder Zhang, I have something to do tonight, so I may not come over at night!"

"Hmm... If you have something to do, go get busy, don't delay studying! Old Doctor Zhang looked up at Xu Ze with a humble face, nodded with a smile, then opened the drawer, took out an envelope and handed it over: "This is last month's salary, collect it!" ”

Looking at the thin envelope, Xu Ze's eyes lit up slightly, and secretly said that this is what he was waiting for, and took the envelope with a smile at the moment, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, then I'll go first!" ”

After happily counting the eight hundred-yuan bills in the envelope, and then going to the ATM at the entrance of the school to withdraw all the 500 yuan of his long-stored property, Xu Ze rode his bicycle and went straight to Tongzi Street.

Tongzi Street is the largest antique and jade street in Star City, and Xu Ze has accompanied his classmates here a few times before, so he is quite familiar with this place.

But today he is not here to hang out, today is the birth of his girlfriend Zhang Linyun, as a boyfriend, it is inevitable to prepare an unusual gift, so Xu Ze has been frugal for a month, and today he plans to spare his blood to please his girlfriend.

He knew that Lin Yun had always wanted a jade Buddha pendant a long time ago, but because some slightly better jade pendants were expensive, he had never looked at them with envy, and never had the idea of buying them.

And Xu Ze is planning to pick one for Linyun as a gift to surprise her, after all, they have been together for a few months, and they have never given Linyun anything.

He knew that there was an old jade shop here, which had a history of more than 80 years on Tongzi Street, and the owner was an ancestral craft. He had accompanied a few classmates who lived in Star City to buy jade here, the store was not big, but a few classmates in Star City knew the roots and knew very clearly, although the store looked small, but it has always been a good match, and it was much more expensive than buying it in a jewelry store outside.

So since Xu Ze had made up his mind to buy a jade pendant, of course he took the money and went straight here.

Tongzi Street has always been lively, Xu Ze pushed his bicycle all the way, and walked for a while before he found the antique small signboard of Wang Ji Jade Shop from the colorful signboards on both sides.

After parking the car at the door, Xu Ze pushed open the somewhat old glass and wooden door and walked in.

Seeing the somewhat familiar shopkeeper, Xu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was not looking for the wrong place, the last time he came, it was also this gray-haired old man who guarded the shop.

Seeing that someone had come in, the shopkeeper nodded at Xu Ze and said with a smile: "This classmate, what do you want to buy?" ”

Xu Ze walked over and smiled at the shopkeeper: "Uncle, I want to buy a jade pendant, the kind of jade Buddha shape!" ”

The shopkeeper nodded with a smile, looked at Xu Ze, and suddenly smiled: "Men with Guanyin and women with Buddha, you want to buy Jade Buddha?" Let's send it to my girlfriend! ”

"Hehe......" Xu Ze touched the back of his head and nodded with a dry smile.

The shopkeeper looked at Xu Ze, who was obviously a little embarrassed, and chuckled: "What's so embarrassing about this, say it, what price do you want to buy, I'll help you pick a few to see!" ”

"Hmm... Seven or eight hundred or so will do! ”

"Seven or eight hundred...... shopkeeper touched a few sparse stubbles on his chin, then leaned down, took out three or four boxes from the counter, opened the lids one by one, and then put them on the counter, and said with a smile: "Look at it, these are more than seven hundred or eight hundred, just say if you like that; Since you came to me directly, of course you know that I won't make your offer! ”

"That's that!" Xu Ze smiled and nodded: "I accompanied a few classmates to buy it, so I will go directly to you, of course I am very relieved." ”

At the moment, he was not polite, he lay on the counter and looked at it carefully, these jade Buddhas are all pale green jadeite species, and one is milky white jade, Xu Ze frowned and looked at it for a while, in his opinion, the pale green jade species are extremely beautiful, but it seems that Linyun seems to like that kind of white jade.

Therefore, Xu Ze looked at the white jade Buddha, which seemed to be quite beautiful, so he asked the shopkeeper, "How much is this white one?" ”

"Hmm...... This white jade pendant is eight hundred and five! The shopkeeper laughed.

"Eight hundred and five..." Xu Ze frowned, thought about the 1,300 yuan in his pocket, and secretly said that it was better to leave some living expenses, and then looked up at the shopkeeper and said, "Uncle, can it be cheaper?" Eight hundred and five is a bit expensive......"

The shopkeeper looked at Xu Ze and chuckled: "Just this jade, eight hundred and five is already a very fair price, I dare to guarantee that if you are in the jewelry store outside, you will definitely not be able to take this jade without more than one thousand and five; Since you have been to me, you should know that I am here for real prices, not bargaining! ”

"But it's a little more expensive." Looking at the white jade pendant on the table, Xu Ze hesitated.

Seeing Xu Ze's hesitation, the shopkeeper smiled and took out two boxes from the counter and put them in front of Xu Ze, and said with a smile: "Then if you don't look at these two, they are also white jade, one is six hundred and eight, and the other is seven hundred and five." ”

Xu Ze looked at the two white jade Buddhas, and was really not satisfied, this eight hundred and five was obviously much more beautiful. Since you buy it for Linyun, of course, you have to pick a better one, and you don't have to save this hundred yuan.

At that moment, he shook his head lightly, looked at the shopkeeper without giving up and said, "Uncle, you are cheaper, I really like this first!" ”

"Heh... You know the rules of our store, it's really not a bargain. The shopkeeper shook his head lightly, looked at Xu Ze, and said with a smile: "I can also see that you really want to buy it, if you are sure to buy this, then I can give you a gift." ”

After that, the shopkeeper took out a small silk bag from the counter, took out a light green jade pendant and put it on the counter, and said: "The so-called male with Guanyin and female with Buddha, I see that you don't seem to have a protective Guanyin, here is a piece of Guanyin jade pendant that I sent with my purchase, although the carving is not very good, but the jade quality is barely okay, if you like it, take it together, just match a pair, but the price of eight hundred and five is not less!"

Looking at the jade pendant in front of him, Xu Ze sighed lightly, this jade looks quite transparent, but the carving is not very good, it can only be said to be very bad, because if you look carefully, no one can see that this is Guanyin.

But there is no way, Xu Ze knows that the shopkeeper is telling the truth, Wang Ji jade has never been bargaining, and now he can earn a gift jade pendant, which is already very good, so let's get together, Linyun with Maitreya Buddha, I take Guanyin, and it can be regarded as a couple!

Thinking of this, Xu Ze's heart was sweet, and he was not entangled at the moment, anyway, he still had a few hundred, so let's save some first!

I paid the money immediately, hung the pale green jade pendant that didn't look like Guanyin around my neck, and then preciously took the box containing the white jade Buddha, thanked the shopkeeper, and rode back to school happily.

Xu Ze, who was full of joy, rode quickly on the way back to school, and after riding for a while, a trace of sweat gradually appeared on his body, and these sweats slowly flowed down his chest and back, gradually wetting the jade pendant on his chest.

And he didn't notice that the pale green jade pendant hanging around his neck, after coming into contact with those sweats, suddenly flashed a strange light, and then the entire jade pendant began to become transparent, and a burst of colorful light slowly changed inside, and after two seconds, the light slowly faded away, and the entire jade pendant returned to its first appearance, but a strange message was generated inside: the system carrier was turned on, waiting to be activated......

At this time, Xu Ze, who was riding the bike with excitement on his face, didn't notice all this......

It was already half past one when I returned to school, I hastily ate some lunch, and then rushed to class, and the local anatomy in the afternoon Xu Ze was spent in chaos, constantly looking at the delicate box containing the jade Buddha in his hand, and seeing that the white and translucent jade Buddha was so dazzling in the box, Xu Ze's heart has always been sweet.

When Lin Yun saw this Jade Buddha, she would definitely like it very much, thinking of Lin Yun's happy appearance, Xu Ze's heart also fluttered lightly.

The old mule in the dormitory, who was sitting on the side, finally couldn't help laughing after looking at Xu Ze, who had been smirking and absent-minded all afternoon, snatched the box in Xu Ze's hand, and said with a smile: "Look at what you bought for Linyun, such a treasure!" ”

"Hey... The mule, just move around, give it back to me, give it back to me......" In a moment of distraction, he saw Xu Ze, who was missing the box in his hand, and hurriedly said nervously: "Don't smash it for me......"

Seeing Xu Ze's nervous appearance, the mule carefully opened the box in his hand, looked at the crystal clear white jade Buddha, couldn't help but sigh in amazement, looked up at Xu Ze and said: "You kid is very thrifty, I can't imagine that I can really give up on Lin Yun, this jade Buddha doesn't have a thousand pieces, I'm afraid I can't take it, I saw a similar one last time, it's more than 1,800!" ”

Xu Ze carefully snatched the box back from the mule's hand and quickly closed it, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It's almost too much, as long as Lin Yun likes it!" ”

"Tsk... You kid, I really can't see such a love species! The mule sighed twice and laughed, "All right, boy, have a good time today, and it's better to strike while the iron is hot... Haha......"

Xu Ze turned a blind eye to the mule's ridicule, just carefully put away the treasure box, put it in his pocket, and waited for the end of class.

Finally waiting for the bell to ring after class, Xu Ze ran excitedly towards Lin Yun's No. 10 dormitory building, he kept the surprise of the day, and finally brought it to her at this time.

Xu Ze had already asked Lin Yun if she didn't have classes this afternoon, so she should be dressed up in the bedroom and ready to go out for dinner at this time.

Xu Ze ran to the No. 10 dormitory building, excitedly took out his second-hand Nokia, and dialed the familiar number; However, there was no familiar ringtone in the microphone, but a depressed female voice on the computer: "Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off, if you need to ......"

Suddenly, Xu Ze was stunned, "Turned off?" What's going on? ”

"She must have forgotten to charge!" Xu Ze thought for a moment, seemed to smile suddenly, and then pressed another set of familiar numbers.

"Dut...... Honk...... ......"Xu Ze waited for a long time, but no one answered, and just when he felt more and more uneasy, a familiar voice finally came from there.

"Spinner, is Linyun here?" With some doubts and uneasiness, Xu Ze hurriedly asked after hearing this familiar voice.

The voice of the spinner seemed to hesitate for a moment before replying, "Hmm...... Lin Yun is not here, I... I haven't seen her since this afternoon! ”

"Lin Yun is not here?" Hearing Xuanzi's seemingly uncomfortable tone, Xu Ze's heart became more and more uneasy, he groaned for a while, and asked again: "Then do you know where she went?" Her phone is off! ”

"I don't know, maybe the phone is out of battery, why don't you try it later?" Rotor said with a dry laugh.

Xu Ze took a light breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said lightly: "Okay, thank you, if you see Linyun and ask her to give me a call, okay?"

"Okay, I still have something to do, so let's do it first......" As the voice fell, the sound of "...... beep" was quickly heard in the microphone.

Holding the phone, Xu Ze's delicate eyebrows were tightly screwed together, full of uneasiness and doubt: "What's wrong?" It's her life today, but where has she gone? ”

Thinking of this, and thinking of Fang Cai's somewhat strange tone, Xu Ze's face gradually became gloomy, could it be ...... Thinking of this, Xu Ze was shocked, then shook his head again, quickly shook off the terrible thought in his mind, and muttered: "No, Lin Yun will definitely not ......"

"But today is her birthday, but why is her mobile phone turned off? Why is the spinner talking so weird? The look on Xu Ze's face changed rapidly, and after a long time, he finally sighed, looked up at the window on the sixth floor, and turned to leave;

However, after leaving the door of Building No. 10, Xu Ze hesitated, but found a stone bench under a tree not far away and sat down, just like that, as if waiting quietly for something......

Building 10, Bedroom 602, Rotor stood on the balcony, looked down cautiously, finally sighed, turned to a bright girl and said, "Linyun, Xu Ze is gone!" ”

"Gone? Are you sure you're leaving? After getting the confirmation of the spindle, the girl named Linyun, who was originally tightly screwed together, finally stretched out her eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief, then took the mobile phone of the other girl next to her and dialed a call.

Xuanzi walked into the room, looked at Lin Yun who was whispering and talking intimately to the person on the phone, shook his head helplessly, and waited for Lin Yun to hang up the phone, then said with a wry smile: "Lin Yun, this doesn't seem to be good!" ”

Hearing Xuanzi's words, a shadow flashed on Zhang Linyun's pretty face, but she soon smiled again: "Xuanzi, emotional things can't be forced, I liked him at the beginning, but after dating for a while, I found that what I like is not his type, and he is relatively stingy; ”

"And now I've found someone I really like and who is good to me; Tao Zhixiong not only plays basketball well, but also looks very sunny and generous, much better than Xu Ze, you have to bless me! ”

Zhang Linyun's words made Xuanzi shake his head helplessly, and sighed lightly: "Okay, this is your own business, and we can't take care of it, but Xu Ze is not stingy with you, he earns living expenses by working part-time every month, but together he seems to have never let you pay for it... Although Tao Zhixiong is more generous to you and often sends flowers or something, but ...... Forget it, it's your life today, we won't mention it! ”

Soon, the mobile phone just now rang again, Lin Yun looked at the number on the phone, a charming smile bloomed on her face, and smiled at a few roommates: "Let's go, let's go downstairs, they have already come!" ”

Xu Ze looked at the familiar figure among the several girls who came out of the door of the No. 10 dormitory building from a distance, and suddenly a strong sting in his heart that he had never felt before surged up, why did Lin Yun lie to me......

Xu Ze was extremely puzzled and painful, but he quickly understood, because he saw that the four boys who had just walked downstairs greeted him, and the two groups of people would come together, and then one of the boys gave the most familiar figure a bouquet of pink roses, and the two were still standing intimately, not knowing what they were doing, while the few people next to them suddenly broke out into a cheerful commotion.

Looking at all this, Xu Ze's head felt dizzy for no reason, and his chest suddenly became stuffy, as if the whole person was about to suffocate;

Xu Ze's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and after slamming his fist his chest a few times, his chest seemed to loosen a little, stroked his chest, and muttered, "Why?" Why is that? ”

Xu Ze was in pain here, and the group of people over there also left the door of the dormitory and walked towards the avenue here, apparently preparing to go out to eat.

Seeing that this group of people was walking towards this side, Xu Zeqiang calmed down, took two deep breaths, made the suffocation in his chest no longer so uncomfortable, and then slowly stood up from the stone bench.

The group of people walked, walked, and finally walked to the avenue, walking towards a silver-gray Toyota car parked next to it, but at this time, someone finally saw Xu Ze standing under the tree on the opposite side of the avenue.

"Xu Ze!" Xuanzi looked at Xu Ze, who was pale on the other side, and stopped in amazement after exclaiming.

Hearing this name, the other three girls all stopped in amazement, raised their heads in unison, and looked at Xu Ze who was walking slowly opposite with some weakness.

And Zhang Linyun, who was holding the boy's hand and walking in front, looked at Xu Ze who walked over slowly, and the face that happened to be smiling suddenly froze.

Xu Ze walked over slowly, looked at Zhang Linyun, and then looked at the boy next to him with an earring on his head and a flamboyant face, but a faint smile appeared on his pale face, but this smile made people look a little chilled.

"Your new boyfriend?" Xu Ze smiled faintly, his dark eyes flashed with a hint of complicated light, looked at Zhang Linyun quietly, and asked.

Zhang Linyun looked at the faint smile on the face of Yu Junxiu and gentleness in front of her, and the dark eyes, her mouth moved twice, and her heart was panicked, but she didn't say anything.

When facing Xu Ze, she has never had this feeling of fear, Xu Ze has always given her a gentle and casual atmosphere, and even seems to be cowardly at times, and she has always been in the dominant position in front of him, what she says is what.

But now, the strange aura on Xu Ze's body made her heart tremble slightly, and it seemed to be a kind of thing that made her feel... Awe, yes is the feeling of awe.

The boy next to him also recognized the person in front of him at this time, Xu Ze, who seemed to be Lin Yun's ex-boyfriend; He snorted coldly at the moment and shouted: "Boy, who am I to care about your, get out of the way!" ”
