Chapter 1 Antique Shop on the Avenue of Stars
On the pedestrian street in the evening, there was a constant flow of people.
One of the intimate men and women, one behind the other.
"Lisa...is it almost okay? I really can't walk anymore."
The man stopped and said with a bitter smile.
“Dear, this is the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It’s hard to come here once, aren’t you ready to take a stroll?”
That’s right, this is the center of the world’s film culture, Hollywood.
The Avenue of Stars beneath their feet records the names of countless bright literary and entertainment superstars.
It is no exaggeration to say it is an iconic attraction.
Looking at his wife who was smiling happily in front of him, Jamie had no intention of spoiling the fun and continued to accompany his wife around.
Just then, Lisa noticed something.
“Look, Jamie! There is an antique shop here!”
Jamie looked towards where Lisa pointed and saw an antique store.
Putting it together with the surrounding shops full of luxury goods and large display windows, it looks out of place.
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
Jamie nodded.
My wife likes to order takeout, and there happens to be a good Chinese restaurant in the town where she lives.
Aiwujiwuxia also became interested in Chinese culture.
And Jamie himself felt it was a bit novel, after all, there was no such store where they lived.
After pushing the door open and entering, under the warm light, various ink paintings, as well as porcelain and jade, are arranged in an orderly manner in the store.
With just one glance, you can feel the rich and elegant cultural atmosphere.
Sitting at the cashier not far away is an elegant young man with black hair and black eyes.
The young man holds a scroll in his hand and has a handsome face.
He seemed to be alarmed by the sound of the door opening and raised his head.
When their eyes met, Jamie seemed to see a faint fluorescent light flashing in the other person's dark eyes.
When he realized something was wrong and looked carefully, the eyes were ordinary, as if everything before was just his illusion.
"Welcome..."
The black-haired young man greeted simply, but his eyes were a little strange.
It is not like the enthusiasm of ordinary store clerks or store managers when they see customers.
What appeared in the eyes of the black-haired young man was surprise, thinking, but more importantly, pity.
It's like seeing a patient on the hospital bed whose days are numbered.
This feeling made Jamie feel very uncomfortable.
However, the chattering and excited wife beside him did not give Jamie more time to think.
“Look, Jamie!”
“What a beautiful ornament...it looks completely different from the ones outside!”
“Is this blue and white porcelain? I’ve read about it in books.”
Lisa couldn’t stop admiring these exquisite antiques with a sense of age.
Soon, she fell in love with a bracelet.
“That store manager, how much does this cost?”
The young store manager seemed to have noticed Lisa just now.
Jamie always paid attention to him and found that the latter had the same look in his eyes when he looked at Lisa.
However, this time, the young store manager spoke.
"That's not expensive, two hundred dollars."
Lisa nodded.
The price is indeed good and within her affordability.
“But there is a problem.”
“What problem?”
“You have a life to buy, but not a life to use.”
The young man was calm and steady The voice made Jamie and the two people opposite him get angry for no reason.
Both Lisa and Jamie’s expressions changed drastically.
Curse each other to death when they meet, this store manager really is!
The anger that had been suppressed before was ignited again, and Jamie stepped forward quickly. "What are you talking about?! You damn brat!"
Seeing that her husband was about to take action, Lisa immediately stopped him.
Although she didn't like what the other party said, she didn't want to get into trouble here.
The young store manager was very calm from beginning to end.
“Forget it, Jamie, let’s go...”
“Don’t let him spoil your mood for coming out to play.”
“I won’t buy from this store. Something.”
“Let’s go.”
Lisa's dissuasion worked, and Jamie gave up his plan to teach the other party a lesson.
Angrily, he took Lisa's hand and turned around and walked out of the store.
"...If there are any packages of unknown origin recently, please do not take them home casually."
"Otherwise, there will be a fatal disaster."
Approaching At the door, the young store manager's voice came from behind again.
Neither Jamie nor Lisa took it to heart, just treating it as the ramblings of a madman.
In the store, the black-haired young man shook his head regretfully, then continued to read with his head down, while unable to help mumbling to himself.
“This Dao Zang is indeed different from ordinary books...you can’t tell anything at first glance...”
“It seems that I still need to study it a few more times...”
His name is Su Fan, he is twenty-one this year.
But my mental age may be older than I actually look.
Yes, he was reborn.
Su Fan was pleasantly surprised and confused when a scene he had read many times in novels happened to him.
But he soon discovered that he was starting from hell.
It turned out to be inside the children's welfare home in Beautiful Country.
The orphanage in the beautiful country is not a good place to go. I can only say that I know everything about it.
But before Su Fan could escape, Old Man Su appeared and adopted Su Fan.
Since then, Su Fan has settled in this antique shop.
Old man Su was originally from the Dragon Kingdom. When he was young, he owed a lot of debt and could not repay it, so he followed the ship to the beautiful country.
It can be regarded as starting from scratch.
But Su Fan didn't quite believe it.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame facade is easily accessible to ordinary people?
But there is some mystery about old man Su, and he has already slept with him.
The funeral was organized by Su Fan, and he was the only one attending.
As the saying goes, happy events come uninvited, and funerals come uninvited.
This is the last time in a person's life. Most of his relatives and friends who have not moved around during his lifetime will come.
But when old man Su came, no one came to attend the funeral, which made Su Fan feel a little uncomfortable.
Su Fan's current goal is to run the antique store inherited from Old Man Su well.
But problems also arise.
Most people in this beautiful country are not interested in antiques, not to mention that the store is located on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Su Fan's store stands out among the many luxury goods and clothing stores.
The result is naturally empty.
It’s not like Su Fan has never considered gaining popularity, but most methods have little effect.
There is no way, there is no basic start-up capital, it is too difficult to do anything, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
As time passed, Su Fan simply stopped fussing so much.
Lie down and say goodbye.
When he had nothing to do, Su Fan flipped through the books in the corner.
But inadvertently, I discovered changes in myself.
[I have read and studied the Taoist classic "Huang Ting Jing", and my understanding of its content has increased a little]
