Chapter 20: Voyeurism and Weakness

The next time I saw Li Chengran was at the exit of the high-speed rail station at 10 o'clock in the evening in Shanghai, she was wearing a black low-cut round-neck waist-cinching long skirt, the cuffs and skirt of the long skirt were embellished with light gauze, with a string of platinum material for the chain body, and the imperial green jade green leaf for the pendant necklace, which made people feel lively and elegant.

Today, Li Chengran spread out his long hair over the shoulders, and the long bangs on his forehead were casually pulled to his ears, revealing the studs on his ears, simple purple pearl studs.

Ye Zilan found that Xin Yifan looked at Li Chengran's first brother, angry and funny, obviously he came to see herself, but she stared at others Li Chengran intently.

Li Chengran also looked at Xin Yifan generously, a faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and asked Xin Yifan: "Yifan, why did you order such a late car, have you eaten at night?"

"Ah~ I ate in the car just now, and I bothered you to come and pick me up so late. Xin Yifan replied, every time he talked to Li Chengran, he felt a little heartbeat.

"Uh~ Brother, are you coming to see me, or are you looking at Sister Chengran?" Seeing that she was ignored by the two, Ye Zilan said a little dissatisfied.

"Of course it's up to you, I don't have to thank Cheng Ran for coming to pick me up so late, you don't even ask me if I've eaten, and it's in vain that I came so far to see you. Xin Yifan also said dissatisfiedly, although he said this, his eyes were full of smiles when he saw Ye Zilan.

"Then let's go, I'll invite you to supper. Ye Zilan came up and grabbed Xin Yifan's arm.

Xin Yifan once again carried forward his usual style, and ate supper as a main meal, which caused the diners next to him to look sideways, Xin Yifan and Ye Zilan were used to it, eating by themselves, Li Chengran had seen Xin Yifan's appetite, but he didn't expect this guy to be so able to eat even supper, and he didn't feel embarrassed when he saw someone look at it, but he propped his hand on the table, supported his chin, and watched Xin Yifan's two brothers and sisters eat with interest, but Xin Yifan was a little embarrassed by her.

When the three of them returned to Li Chengran's residence after supper, it was almost 12 o'clock at night, and everyone washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Xin Yifan, who returned to the room, just finished eating and couldn't fall asleep, so he sat on the bed and used his laptop to look through the information of those runes and the notes of Xiong Jinkun's master and apprentice, but Xin Yifan felt that looking at these runes that were scanned into the computer seemed to be really different from when looking at the runes on the holy bone in reality, it felt different, so he closed his eyes and recalled in his mind the feeling of establishing an induction with the holy bone, and carefully experienced the process of the change of the runes on the holy bone, and soon something magical happened, Xin Yifan felt that his consciousness had left his body, and this time it was when he did not establish an induction with the crystal ulna, I just recalled that feeling, and it turned out that my consciousness was really out of my body.

At this time, his heart suddenly moved, and his consciousness extended to Li Chengran's room. Lee Seung-ran was applying a mask, it was already early autumn at this time, but sometimes the weather was still a little hot, and Lee Seung-ran wore a one-piece silk nightdress to highlight his proud figure.

Xin Yifan's consciousness couldn't help but lean towards her body, and could feel her slight breathing and heartbeat, Li Chengran was half-lying on the bed, put on a lazy posture, looking at the phone, and after a while, she took off the mask on her face and went to wash her face, Xin Yifan's consciousness could clearly feel her skin and face, this action made Xin Yifan in the room blush a little, feeling like blaspheming Li Chengran, and then he just looked at Li Chengran quietly with his consciousness, and waited until Li Chengran turned off the light and went to bed, he felt her even breathing, and his consciousness couldn't help but gently brush her face and hair, and slowly expand to his body, suddenly felt dizzy, oops, it's been too long, and then Xin Yifan fell unconsciously on the bed.

Early the next morning, when Xin Yifan woke up dizzy and hungry, he got up and freshened up and came to the restaurant, and found that the amount of breakfast this morning was much more than last time, and then saw Li Chengran walking out of the kitchen with a pot of porridge, Ye Zilan was probably still washing.

Li Chengran watched Xin Yifan come over and smiled at him: "Yifan, you get up, you did more today, I don't know if it's enough." Apparently she deliberately added a portion of her breakfast.

Xin Yifan scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Enough, enough." โ€

He is a little nervous in the face of Li Chengran, he wants to look at this woman quietly, and he doesn't say anything, maybe it's a professional habit, he feels that Li Chengran is like a beautiful work of art in his eyes, and he wants to appreciate it quietly and carefully.

Before he could appreciate it carefully, Li Chengran urged, "Why are you still stunned, sit down and eat." โ€

"Oh, good. At this time, Ye Zilan stretched her waist and walked over with a yawn.

Last night, Xin Yifan fainted with excessive consciousness, and now it is the time to be hungry and panicked, but the owner who was peeping last night made a large table of breakfast intimately, Xin Yifan didn't speak, buried himself in eating, and swept all the food on the table without accident, first, he was hungry, and second, although the breakfast made by Li Chengran was simple, Xin Yifan felt that it was delicious.

The business of the antique shop is generally better on weekends, but it is colder on Mondays and Tuesdays, so Li Chengran and Ye Zilan must go to the store today, and after the three of them finished eating breakfast and cleaning up, Li Chengran drove the two to Shangguxuan.

Li Mo is also there today, Xin Yifan politely went to say hello, after Ye Zilan came, he often came to teach Ye Zilan, and he had to do it well because of the entrustment of his friends, plus Ye Zilan was smart and willing to learn, so he decided to teach Ye Zilan with his heart.

Today, there are many customers who come into the store to see the porcelain, many foreigners, and the guys in the store are fluent in English. Ye Zilan followed Li Chengran and listened carefully to her introduction to the origin and price of various antiques to the guests, and also heard a lot of moving legends about a certain artifact, but Ye Zilan didn't know if this was made up by Li Chengran.

Shang Gu Xuan this kind of antique shop, never look at people's clothes, as long as people come to the reception, the guys will judge whether the other party is an expert according to the things and conversations that come to see, some are well-dressed, as soon as they enter the store, they ask what is expensive, what is good This kind of person, Li Chengran is to greet the guys to send it, only when the connoisseurs who really understand enter the store to buy goods or someone comes to sell things, Li Chengran will look at the situation to receive, more often Li Chengran is to Ye Zilan in the introduction of the various utensils in the store, including the origin, use, price and other secret things for Shang Guxuanใ€‚

Xin Yifan also followed him next to him today and quietly listened to Li Chengran give Ye Zilan a lesson, Li Chengran did not shy away from Xin Yifan, for Xin Yifan, listening to Li Chengran is a kind of enjoyment, even if he listens to her for three days and three nights, he will not feel annoyed.

Li Chengran would look at Xin Yifan from time to time when she was lecturing Ye Zilan, and her eyes seemed to ask Xin Yifan if her understanding was correct, she knew that Xin Yifan was an expert. Xin Yifan was a little embarrassed to think about last night's experience, and when he saw Li Chengran's eyes from time to time, he felt that his ears were red, which couldn't escape Ye Zilan's eyes. He felt that his brother had been fascinated by Li Chengran, and he actually blushed. And Li Chengran just smiled and continued to lecture Ye Zilan, in order to avoid embarrassment, she didn't look at Xin Yifan from time to time, but concentrated on teaching Ye Zilan.

It was close to noon, and the guy in the store came over to say that someone had come to sell something, and asked Li Chengran to come over and have a look, and Ye Zilan also followed.

The person who came was dressed ordinarily, about 50 years old, with a little hair, holding a small box in his hand, and when he saw Li Chengran, who had an extraordinary temperament, came over, he asked, "Boss, do you accept antiques?" Li Chengran nodded and said: "Of course you want to accept it, can you let me see what the object is first?" The man was a little hesitant, and Li Chengran smiled, "Then please sit inside." Led the man to a living room in the back hall, Xin Yifan also followed in curiously.

There were only four people in the room, and Li Chengran saw that the man was still a little hesitant and said: "Sir, don't worry, they are all the owners and shareholders of the store, and there are no outsiders here." Only then did the man open the box and take out a gilded bronze object wrapped in layers of silk, but judging by the degree of the gilding, it should be a long time ago. Xin Yifan saw that this was a Maitreya statue about 80 centimeters high, and the whole Maitreya shape was dressed in a praising coat with wide and flat folds, and the hem of the skirt was like a wing stretching, flat and straight. The face is thin, chic and beautiful, the whole statue includes a standing Buddha, two standing Bodhisattvas, two thinking Bodhisattvas, four offering Bodhisattvas, two Luxes, eleven flying heavens, two Boshan furnaces, two lions. In addition to the main image, the other Bodhisattva treasures are flying, the silk is crossed, around the main image is evenly and symmetrically arranged, integrated into one, the statue is cast complicated, the shape is exquisite, the shape of this Maitreya is very different from the shape of the traditional Maitreya, this Buddha statue should have a four-legged square seat, the seat is set up with a low round lotus, now it seems that it should be missing.

Xin Yifan only felt that his eyes lit up, this kind of Buddha statue is very rare in China, he has only seen similar Buddha statues in museums in the United States, so he judged that this is a bronze statue of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasties, the thin Maitreya Buddha statue appeared before the Tang Dynasty, and the clothing characteristics of the Buddha statue conform to the so-called Wei and Jin celebrities in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Li Chengran obviously recognized the origin of this Buddha statue, but he still looked at Xin Yifan with an inquiring eye, and Xin Yifan nodded lightly.

This degree of exquisiteness of the Buddha statue is generally for the royal worship of the Buddha hall molded, part of the princely high-ranking official home worship Buddha hall also casting, very few survived, later generations are enshrined in the famous temple or the royal Buddha hall, in troubled times these Buddhist saints flow away to the folk also a lot, after the foreign forces invaded China and plundered a lot to overseas, so the existing gilded Buddha statues before the Ming Dynasty in the country are very few, and the gilded bronze Buddha of the Northern and Southern Dynasties is rare, almost never seen in the country.

"Sir, is this thing your own or is it for someone else?" asked Li Chengran.

"This is my ancestry. The man said with some smugness.
