(Love, that lost secret that the wise people of this world have been looking for, and it is only through love that man can approach the heart of the leper and the foot of God.)

—Oscar Wilde, "From the Deep")

This soft shout brought the senior one (9) class to a climax, and the classroom resounded with countless applause and cheers, and perhaps more people were coaxing.

Whatever it is, all in all, the scene is as lively as a public confession.

Hearing Yan Yitong's shout, Fu Yuanzhuo also turned his head, and saw that Yan Yitong, who was holding an explosive head, ignored the gaze of more than sixty people, and made a gesture of clenching his fists and cheering, he couldn't help but cover his eyes again, made a standard expression that he couldn't bear to look at directly, and whispered in the boiling noise: "I would have told this stupid girl if I knew that you didn't plan to take the test seriously." ”

Even Cheng Mo, who has always been calm, faced with a sudden scene, his face was full of surprise, the word "come on" never belonged to him in his memory, he never heard anyone say "come on" to him since he was a child, he remembered that when he participated in the school sports meeting in elementary school, he was always the loneliest one, he neither wanted to "cheer" for others, nor could he feel the excitement of other children in the shouts of "come on" and the contestants.

He sat on a small bench at the back of the team and read the book quietly, when the children around him stood up and cheered, he knew that their class had won another first, Cheng Mo, who had no sense of collective honor, did not even go to the scene of the school sports meeting when he was in junior high school, he would sit in the classroom while listening to the boiling hormones outside the window, while watching Oscar Wilde's "From the Depths".

One thinks that vulgarity is sin, one can calmly say "my shortcomings are my shortcomings", and a genius who is conceited enough to become a clear stream in the gutter actually degenerates into a resentful woman.

This made Cheng Mo sigh that love is really "tireless".

He quietly listened to the deafening sound of "come on" on the playground, youth is really uninhibited and high-spirited, they are full of vitality, they are full of hope, but he can only hold the thermos cup soaked in wolfberry water in advance into the indisputable old sage mode.

Young people need to "refuel", the elderly do not, and the elderly will enter the grave in advance when they are refueling.

At this moment, Cheng Mo was in a trance, although the slightest thing was like the floating dust dancing in the light or the leaves falling in the wind, it was the first time in Cheng Mo's life.

He watched Yan Yitong pass through one window after another with the Coke that Fu Yuanzhuo bought, and gradually moved away, thinking to himself what kind of Coke tasted like?

Water, fructose syrup, white sugar, caramel color, carbon dioxide, phosphoric acid, caffeine - these things make up cola, maybe it is the taste of youth!

Sweet, refreshing, slightly bitter...... Shake it and it will explode.

"Hey, are you okay?" Seeing that Cheng Mo was stunned for a while, Fu Yuanzhuo patted Cheng Mo.

"It's fine. ”

"You're not scared by this stupid girl, are you? she's a little surprised, just wait until you get used to it....."

Cheng Mo was a little puzzled, and thought: Why should I get used to it? But he didn't say this sentence, just lowered his head and continued to read.

At this time, Cheng Mo still doesn't understand that if some people are determined to enter your life, you won't even have room to refuse.

————————

At the end of the two exams in the afternoon, Cheng Mo received a WeChat message from Xie Minyun and countless WeChat messages from Yan Yitong after walking out of the classroom, he first read the message sent by Xie Minyun, and WeChat gave him a link to let Cheng Mo choose a lot as a target.

Cheng Mo clicked in and saw that it was a charity auction website jointly organized by Wanda Group and Ruyi Club, and the pictures of 20 lots suddenly came into view, including an oil painting by Wang Guangyi entitled "The Great Criticism of Coca Cola" donated by Bai Xiuxiu, a bottle of 1914 Champagne from Chau Rinn Jue, and a glass sculpture "Snail Ladder" by Eunsuh Choi.

These three lots donated by Bai Xiuxiu were placed in the middle of the twenty lots, and Cheng Mo had done some homework on these twenty lots, but he couldn't estimate the exact price, and many things could not be found on the Internet.

For example, Wang Guangyi's oil painting named "Coca Cola" donated by Bai Xiuxiu, Cheng Mo could not find the price, Wang Guangyi's large oil painting can be photographed for millions, and the small tens of thousands have also been photographed.

The 1914 Champagne was reported on the Internet and was sold for $13,250 at the last auction held by Sotheby's in New York in 2016, which is worth about 90,000 Chinese dollars.

As for Eunsuh Choi's glass sculptures, the price cannot be verified, and they should belong to Bai Xiuxiu's private collection, which may be expensive or cheap.

Among the 20 pieces in the collection, Cheng Mo guessed that the value of the lots donated by Bai Xiuxiu was only in the middle of the stream, and it was obvious that a Qing Guangxu pastel Fushou Ruyi pattern jade pot spring vase, a Ming Dynasty inkstone and a Buddha statue would be worth a relatively high price......

Cheng Mo himself guessed which Buddha statue should be the most valuable, and its donor was Du Jun, and Cheng Mo didn't know what it had to do with Du Leng.

Cheng Mo didn't look at it carefully, he already knew these things, but he still waited for a moment before replying: the approximate price of the twenty lots, the information of the donors, and preferably the information of the auction participants.

He didn't ask Xie Minyun if he had checked, he believed that Xie Minyun must have checked.

Cheng Mo slowly walked out of the campus, and while looking at the messages sent to him by Yan Yitong, they were all expressions, just some sentences without oil and salt, such as asking him why he ignored her, what day was his birthday, what zodiac sign, what blood type, and whether he liked to watch anime......

Cheng Mo ignored the interrogation of the household registration investigator, put the phone back in his pocket, walked out of the campus, and walked to the bus stop, Cheng Mo did not see Xie Minyun like yesterday, nor did he receive her reply, probably because he did not submit the paper so early today, Cheng Mo did not think that Xie Minyun had given up, he knew that the proud woman would definitely not surrender.

In the scorching sun when people who were still shining couldn't open their eyes, Cheng Mo boarded the bus, and when the bus was slowly moving, he saw Xie Minyun's graceful and slender figure appear at the corner of the street.

A moment later, Cheng Mo received a WeChat message from Xie Minyun, which was a picture, on which the starting price of twenty collections was listed from high to low, and Cheng Mo was a little surprised that the highest price was not the Buddha statue he guessed, nor the Qing Dynasty porcelain, but the Ming Dynasty inkstone, the starting price was 550,000, and there was a red bracket (700,000-750,000) at the back, this price was probably the actual market price investigated by Xie Minyun.

The second highest price is the Qing Dynasty Buddha statue donated by Du Jun, with a starting price of 500,000 yuan and a market estimate of (600,000-700,000 yuan).

The most expensive donor of the Ming Dynasty Duan Yan is named Fu Hongsheng, Cheng Mo believes that this person must have something to do with Fu Yuanzhuo, and he even has some doubts that Du Leng and Fu Yuanzhuo will all appear at this charity dinner....

Cheng Mo swept down the price, Bai Xiuxiu's three collections, the highest price is "The Great Criticism of Coca Cola" 250,000 yuan, no more, no less just 10th, followed by "Snail Cloud Ladder" 150,000 16th, and the last one Baurinjue champagne is 80,000 yuan.

Then Cheng Mo received another picture, which roughly introduced the information of the ten donors, Cheng Mo first saw Bai Xiuxiu, born in 1989, a native of Shonan Star City, a major shareholder and chairman of the board of directors of Gaoyun Group, graduated from the Department of Marketing and Logistics of the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, with a bachelor's degree in literature.....

Having Xie Minyun to help investigate information is too important for Cheng Mo, these information are difficult to access according to Cheng Mo's ability, with the help of this information, Cheng Mo can make plans very calmly.

Cheng Mo's goal has never been to complete one, but to complete two, and he never intends to enter the auction with the help of Gao Yuemei, for Cheng Mo, it is the lowest rated choice.

He believed that Bai Xiuxiu would think the same way.
