Chapter 127 Gift
Chu Qingmian was very considerate and ate the bowl of porridge cleanly one spoonful after another.
Everyone who cooks should like this kind of diners the most.
“Thank you for the hospitality.”
She put her hands together in a prayer gesture.
"Who prays after eating?"
Su Chengyi put away her bowl and gave her a sideways look.
“Thank you Buddha for giving me Su Chengyi who can cook porridge.”
Chu Qingmian ignored him and kept talking to herself.
What a combination of Chinese and Western prayer methods, Buddha wanted to laugh when he heard it.
Su Chengyi suddenly put down the bowl in his hand and sat in front of her.
"Offer to the Buddha, to the Dharma, to the Sangha, to all living beings. This is the formal offering verse to be recited before fasting."
"You know all this."
Chu Qingmian leaned forward, seemingly interested.
“I don’t know much, I have read a few related books by chance.”
But Su Chengyi only knew a rough idea, and he couldn't say anything more.
Chu Qingmian suddenly laughed. She came forward mysteriously and reached out to cover Su Chengyi's eyes.
"Close your eyes, close your eyes. Brave classmate Su Chengyi, congratulations on successfully feeding the soft-hearted god. She decided to give you a gift~ Just tell me what you want!"
Good news, there is a rich woman who wants to give herself a gift.
Bad news, there is nothing you want at all.
Su Chengyi was silent for a long time and didn't know what to say.
Chu Qingmian said "Oops" and moved his hand away a little.
"Why do you keep blinking? Your eyelashes make my palms itch."
Her complaining tone was soft and lacked any momentum.
“I want nothing more.”
Su Chengyi spread his hands.
Chu Qingmian seemed to have guessed that he would say this, and asked him to close his eyes again.
There was a rustling sound next, and Su Chengyi probably guessed that she was messing with the things in the bag.
"锵锵~"
Su Chengyi opened his eyes, and what he saw was a sapphire and red rope bracelet in a delicate wooden box.
It's the one at the auction tonight.
The one with a deal of 500,000 yuan.
"Brave classmate Su Chengyi, did you drop a gold bracelet, a silver bracelet, or this sapphire bracelet?"
Chu Qingmian said cheerfully. Start playing the soft-hearted god game.
“Gold bracelet.”
Su Chengyi replied calmly.
Chu Qingmian was choked up, so she had to ask again, and she emphasized the word honesty.
"Honest classmate Su Chengyi, may I ask what you dropped?"
"Gold bracelet."
Classmate Su Chengyi even learned to answer questions.
"!!"
Chu Qingmian couldn't hold it back and said angrily:
"Can you cooperate! You will be punished by God!"
< br>"Gold bracelet."
"I will bite you to death!"
"I'm sorry."
Chu Qingmian's tiger fangs looked so powerful that they couldn't be underestimated. Su Chengyi suppressed a smile and apologized.
"Huh, that's pretty much it. How about it? Do you like it?"
She took the string out of the box and compared it with his wrist.
The sapphire Pixiu matched with the gold and red rope. It looked beautiful no matter how it was worn on Su Chengyi's fair and thin wrist.
Chu Qingmian became more and more satisfied with her aesthetic taste.
"How much did it cost?"
Su Chengyi let her play around and asked in a calm tone.
“It’s not expensive.” When he asked her this question, Chu Qingmian felt guilty and her eyes were wandering.
"Smoke sapphire, made with excellent craftsmanship, it probably costs 30,000 yuan, right?"
Su Chengyi continued.
"Oh, did you watch the live broadcast of the auction? Damn it, why are there people broadcasting this live? Do you have any right to privacy?"
Chu Qingmian saw that she could no longer hide it, They simply showed off their cards and quietly shifted the responsibility to the TV reporter.
“Did you think it looked good when it was being auctioned, so on a whim, you took a photo of it and sent it to me?”
Su Chengyi's tone became a little serious.
Or if they are not the biological father and daughter, there is a Richard Mille who spends 10 million yuan on a whim, and a Richard Mille who spends 500,000 yuan on a whim and snaps something worth 30,000 yuan.
Such a gift is difficult for ordinary people to afford. For Chu Qingmian, it may be just pocket money, but for an ordinary family, it can be said to be a huge sum of money.
If Chu Yuanjiang's watch has a legitimate reason to serve as a reassurance, there is no excuse at all for this bracelet.
He is not going to accept it.
Seeing Su Chengyi's serious expression, Chu Qingmian's original guilt immediately turned into natural grievance.
"Why are you so mean?"
Su Chengyi was stunned for a moment. He felt that he was speaking normally and was not mean.
Seeing that Chu Qingmian's eyes were filled with mist and she was about to cry in the next second, he quickly tried to make amends for himself:
"Sorry, I was just asking, there's nothing wrong with it. What you mean.”
Chu Qingmian lowered her head and rolled the little Pixiu with its rounded edges in her hand.
Okay, angry again.
While Su Chengyi was thinking about how to coax him this time, Chu Qingmian spoke on his own.
"It's not a sudden thought, I went to the auction just for it."
Su Chengyi was stunned by these words.
So this is the "reason why you have to go"?
Unfortunately, I thought it was due to the restrictions brought by family background, and that the second generation of rich people also had the same difficulties as the second generation of rich people. After doing this for a long time, the young lady took the initiative to go.
“I went to the temple to worship with my mother this morning. I asked that very powerful master, I said that I have a friend, and the fortune teller said that he will not live to be twenty years old. What should I do?”< br>
I still remember this matter.
If it hadn't happened to be mentioned when I went to the laboratory building, even Su Chengyi himself would have forgotten about the charlatan's random nonsense.
Chu Qingmian continued slowly:
"Then the master said, well, what's going on? I have no worries."
Su Chengyi thought about it, it was a sentence in the Buddhist scriptures, So he added for her:
"There is no worry in the heart, so there is no fear."
Chu Qingmian nodded,
"Anyway, it probably means don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Then he said that if you want peace of mind, no matter what the object is, as long as it closes the eyes and carries a good wish, it is good."
Does the master mean for you to pick and buy in their temple?
Su Chengyi secretly complained, but he was very wise and did not say it out loud.
“Then my dad just happened to send me an invitation letter to the auction. I liked this Pixiu very much as soon as I saw it. Isn’t this a perfect match? Is there such a coincidence in the world!”< br>
It turned out to be this, Su Chengyi sighed softly.
"I won't be like this next time, okay? But you can't do without this."
Chu Qingmian held the little Pixiu in his hand, and everyone looked at him pitifully.
Obviously he was giving a gift, but he made it look like he was asking for a gift.
“Pixiu has a very good meaning! It is an auspicious animal.”
It even started to be promoted.
Su Chengyi looked at her watery eyes and reached out to take the string.
“Pixiu, also known as warding off evil spirits. According to folklore, it likes to eat gold, silver and jewelry, swallows everything without diarrhea, and can collect treasures and keep money. Is it possible that it is actually more suitable to stay in your home?”
"Ah? Then I'll buy one for myself next time. You have to wear this."
Seeing that his attitude softened, Chu Qingmian quickly became happy again.
“But how can anyone wear cultural relics on their hands?”
Su Chengyi frowned, reluctantly.
But Chu Qingmian was very insistent. If she didn't get what she wanted, she might be cheating again.
So in the end I had to choose a compromise method.
The green jade little Pixiu was left at home to be guarded.
The next day, Su Chengyi had a gold and red rope on his hand.
