According to senior Zhao Zheng, the exquisite jade belt hook is a treasure passed down from his ancestors.

It is said——

It was Qin Shi's gadget, but by some chance, it fell into the hands of his great-grandfather.

Small in size, clear and flawless.

It is an extremely rare piece of fine jade.

In the ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, senior great-grandfather Zhao Zheng swallowed the stuff alive and kept it.

He almost lost his life.

Not long ago, senior great-grandfather Zhao Zheng fell seriously ill and did not have much time left.

Senior Zhao Zheng specially asked for leave, went home to visit, and stayed by his great-grandfather’s bedside to fulfill his filial piety.

Before his death, his great-grandfather asked him to move a ladder and climb to the beams of the old house——

Taken back.

He said yes and had been waiting to leave it to him.

After he got the things, he felt something was wrong.

After I finished taking care of my great-grandfather’s funeral affairs, I took the exquisite jade belt hook with me and returned to school——

Let his mentor, Professor Lu, take a look to see if it is something from the Qin Dynasty.

It was because of this chance that Professor Lu came into contact with this thing. After returning home, he fell ill. He had a high fever for several days and had a particularly strange dream.

Senior Zhao Zheng said that when he got the jade belt hook, he inexplicably saw a lot——

Weird sight.

I thought that since I met Zhu Xiaozhou, who runs a pawnshop in his family. And it happened that Zhu Xiaozhou was also helping to investigate Professor Lu's affairs, why not make an appointment to hook up the exquisite jade——

Show it to her.

Then, they made an appointment to meet in Qiyundang, and Zhu Xiaozhou also wanted to know whether he could find a pawn shop.

But when the appointed time arrived, there was still no sign of Senior Zhao Zheng.

"Did he remember the wrong place?" Ding Manman looked at the clock several times, getting a little impatient with the wait.

It's already more than two hours late. Could it be——

He really can't find Qi Yundang?

Zhu Xiaozhou's heart was in a state of confusion. He didn't know what was going on. He just felt uneasy.

Why did he break the appointment?

"How about -" Ding Manman looked at the two great masters behind him, then an idea came to her mind, and she approached Zhu Xiaozhou to encourage her, "While you are waiting, do you want to tell us what happened between you and Senior Zhao Zheng?

Have you ever dated before?"

With just this sentence, the originally stalemate atmosphere in the entire pawn shop instantly cooled down a bit.

"."

Zhu Xiaozhou thought she talked too much, so he changed seats.

Avoided Ding Manman.

"I heard Ding Manman say that you and Senior Zhao Zheng are very ambiguous when you are together! You can often be seen running blackboards together and laughing. He clearly knows that you are being attracted by other people.

Even though you are being pushed away, you are still willing to get so close to you, it can be seen.”

If you say it doesn't matter, who would believe it?

"No."

Zhu Xiaozhou flatly denied that the relationship between her and Senior Zhao Zheng was not at all...

That step of communication.

When I was young, I didn't understand the meaning of dating, and I felt...

There is still time, and there is still time for everything.

Thinking about it now, it is indeed a bit regretful. "But he was the first person who made me feel like I wanted to get married."

Want to get married——

people?!

Ding Manman was startled, and then she noticed the gaze cast from behind——

It was like a pair of sharp knives that were about to cut her into pieces.

He hurriedly tried to save something, "How old were you at that time? How could you have thought of getting married? Just kidding——"

joke!!!

It was unnecessary for her to ask this question. If Zhu Xiaozhou hadn't been joking, it was hard to say whether she would have walked out of Qiyundang alive today.

"The one who knows the language - after I met Senior Zhao Zheng, when I think of him, I will think of this relationship."

Zhu Xiaozhou said.

A person who knows how to speak means that no matter what you say, even if it is strange or absurd, the other person can immediately understand it and be willing to accept what you say——

Even if his views are different, he is willing to admit it——

Your opinion can exist.

It was a soul-to-soul collision.

However, this explanation did not make Ding Manman understand.

confidant--

But Bai Yuan suddenly understood the meaning of Zhu Xiaozhou's words.

She regards Zhao Zheng as a confidant. In such an environment where everyone is alienated from her and hurts her, only Zhao Zheng treats her differently. He appears when Zhu Xiaozhou needs to be understood the most——

Like a ray of light, it illuminated her life and dispelled the darkness and cold.

He tolerated what Zhu Xiaozhou saw——

The existence of that absurd world.

Could this be the understanding she wanted?

but--

Senior Zhao Zheng had been delayed for too long. It was almost getting dark and there was a heavy moisture in the air.

It's like a heavy rain.

Ding Manman was delayed for a whole day and did not dare to stay overnight for fear of arousing the suspicion of Ding Manman's family, so she went back before the heavy rain came down.

Zhu Xiaozhou moved a chair and sat in front of the door, staring at the sky outside the glass door in trance.

With the last glimmer of hope——

If he comes, will it be explained?

Xiao Wenxuan turned his head and looked in the direction of Bai Yuan and whispered, "Zhouzhou seems to be disappointed. It seems that she really likes that person."

"So what."

"Yeah, how could I forget - you never care about what she likes or dislikes. Because to you, she is just a valuable existence, never a woman who deserves to be loved."

Bai Yuan stared at him coldly, opening his mouth as if to defend himself.

But in front of Xiao Wenxuan, he couldn't explain a single word.

Yeah--

He looked at Zhu Xiaozhou's gradually lost figure.

In the eyes of others, is this all Zhu Xiaozhou is to him?

Did he really never care about Zhu Xiaozhou's feelings?

It's getting later and later.

Zhu Xiaozhou waited in the store for a whole day until almost midnight, unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes.

He still couldn't find it, right?

Sure enough, just as his grandmother had warned him, their marriage could probably only end here.

"Zhu Xiaozhou, what are you so disappointed about?! This is your life -"

She smiled to encourage herself and cheer up.

The words were heard by the two people behind him, and I don't know how they felt.

Zhu Xiaozhou patted his face to quickly return to his state.
