Chapter 3 How Can Love Be Wrong(1/2)
Finally leaving the hospital, Guo Zhijun had the illusion of a dream, as if she had returned from another illusory world to the real world she was familiar with.
She had to sort out her mood and start over.
The first person to look for her was Li Zitong. A batch of new goods recently arrived in Li Zitong's store, and she couldn't do it alone and wanted to ask Guo Zhijun to help organize it, so she arrested a strong man as soon as Guo Zhijun was discharged from the hospital.
Li Zitong's store is located in the city center where every inch of land is valuable, and it is quiet in the midst of the noise. It has an independent building with antique flavor in front of the door. Even the sign is full of ancient seal carvings, carved on an inkstone, and the walls are specially made into old colors. The decoration inside is also very age-like, but it also integrates modern equipment, suitable for business and living, comfortable and warm.
"Ahhhh! You are so inhumane that you actually let a disabled person who is seriously injured and not healed to accompany you to see the shop?" Guo Zhijun wailed in a blue and white porcelain vase, squeezed out a few drops of tears that did not exist, and secretly looked at Li Zitong.
Li Zitong wore a retro cheongsam with large pieces of ink lotus embroidered on the cheongsam. She was cut very carefully, outlining her beautiful figure and convex and concisely. With her elegant sitting posture, she was full of femininity. At this time, she was holding a magnifying glass in her hand and carefully looking at a jade bracelet, while lazily saying: "I'm not afraid that you are bored, but I'm specially allowed you to come to my store to see these fresh things, otherwise you would have been suffocated to death at home alone."
"What new things can you do in your store? I'm tired of seeing it." Guo Zhijun put down the vase in his hand and complained angrily, "I can count your wealth with my eyes closed. When will I see it?"
"Oh, your vision is really high. But you have never seen any good things, but these are the guys I make a living, and they have different meanings to me." Li Zitong raised his willow-leaf eyebrows, with charming and classical eyes. She gently put the bracelet on her snow-white wrist and admired it with a smile, "If you don't love these things, how can you sell them at a good price?"
"You only have money and money in your eyes. You are truly a smart businessman and a philanthropist!" Guo Zhijun wrinkled his nose, expressing his dissatisfaction with his friends, and put his eyes back on the porcelain in his hand, carefully placed on the top of the cabinet in the center of the store. The most valuable things must always be placed in the most conspicuous position.
At this time, Li Zitong saw a guest coming through the glass door, hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, walked forward slowly, and opened the door for them personally. The copper bell hanging on the door rang "dingding" sounded.
"Two handsome guys, welcome to the store. What can I do to help you?"
Guo Zhijun had just put down the vase and looked back and couldn't help but be stunned. The world is not big or small, but she would actually see Lin Sen again here and his friend Lu Yi.
Lin Sen still has a cool and cool expression with a cold look and no words. He is wearing a simple white shirt and jeans today, which is a bit different from the past.
Guo Zhijun felt indescribable, and only thought he was very handsome. Even the door-pushing action was very pleasing to the eye. Her heart suddenly stumbled.
"It's you!" Lu Yi recognized Guo Zhijun at a glance and said in surprise. Then he glanced at Li Zitong's face with a stunning look, "Did you open this store?"
Guo Zhijun was quite at a loss. It should be because of Lin Sen's sudden arrival. She was inexplicably nervous: "That... this is my good friend Zitong's store. What do you want?"
"Zi Tong, it's such a nice name. Every time I passed by the door of this store, I thought in my heart that the owner of this store must be very tasteful, so he designed it so perfectly. I just haven't come in, and I didn't expect the boss to be a beauty." Lu Yi is very good at praising people, is slick, but it doesn't make people hate it. After all, no one doesn't like to listen to praise.
Li Zitong is not a woman who has never seen the world, so how could he be confused by him in a few words? But the God of Wealth came to her house, and she would never offend her. The smile on her face became even more enthusiastic: "What do you two want to see?"
Lu Yi pulled Lin Sen, who had not spoken a word, and said: "My good friend wants to give me a birthday gift, I want to choose it."
"Birthday gift?" Li Zitong smiled. This was the first time she heard that she came to an antique shop to choose birthday gifts. These two people were really interesting. "Then you can just take a look at it. Which one do you like? Let Zhijun introduce it to you. She is more familiar with these things than me."
Lu Yi originally just casually told Lin Sen to give him a birthday gift, but he didn't expect that he would agree readily. Lu Yi was very entertained and cheated against Lin Sen while playing tennis. Lin Sen didn't care. He happened to be able to come to the antique shop with him today.
"I like this." Lu Yi pointed to a small bronze lady statue and said to Guo Zhijun, "Please take it out and show it to me."
Guo Zhijun carefully picked it up and placed it on a black velvet cloth tray. The statue is simple and thick, and it is very attractive.
"This bronze lady statue is kneeling, with a height of 40cm. It is a three-legged running lamp from the Han Dynasty. There are many types of bronze ware in ancient my country. It rose from the Warring States Period and entered its heyday. It was mostly royal aristocrats. The ancient bronze ware in the Han Dynasty was very exquisite in terms of craftsmanship and materials. The so-called three-legged running lamp refers to the night running lamp used in ancient handheld in ancient times. From the perspective of shape, it is more practical. Of course, in modern times, it is a rare work of art. But this must be a copy. If it were really from the Han Dynasty, Zi Tong would have been unable to take it away." When Guo Zhijun talked about this, he talked freely, and his eyes seemed to be glowing. Even Lin Sen, who was not interested in bronze ware, could not help but be attracted by her and listened carefully to her introduction.
"But I don't really recommend you buy bronze ware." Guo Zhijun changed the subject, "There are many other things in the store, all of which are very good. You can take a look."
"Why can't you choose this one?" As soon as she lifted her appetite, she said it was not suitable. Lin Sen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and asked out the doubts in her heart.
"There are some things like giving gifts, especially in Chinese. Gifts that cannot be given to human figures are a rule since ancient times, because human figures represent villains in Feng Shui. If you give someone human figures or dolls, it will cause trouble for the other party. On the other hand, although this is an imitation bronze ware, it is also from the Qing Dynasty. The time of unearth is unknown and the source is even more unknown. It is unlucky to buy something of unknown origin to give to someone." Guo Zhijun said very well, "So it's better to choose other things. Giving gifts cares about your heart, and the meaning is more important, right?"
She knew so much that the two big men looked at each other with admiration. Lu Yi praised without hesitation: "It's great, it seems that you have learned a good history."
"It's not just good, our Zhijun is just a living dictionary." Li Zitong also came over, "You must listen to her. But I also have a question. You two seem to be not very interested in antiques, so why do you come to the antique shop to pick birthday gifts?"
"Haha, what a smart girl, I can't hide anything from your eyes. I really don't have any interest in antiques, let alone know about them. In fact, my grandfather is about to celebrate his 70th birthday. He has always liked to collect antiques. I want to find a special gift for him." Lu Yi laughed and patted Lin Sen on the shoulder, "I lied to you, it's not my birthday at all."
Lin Sen was not surprised at all. He had seen through Lu Yi's not-so-savvy scam, smiled, and said indifferently: "Think about it, will I give you a birthday gift?"
"You are really boring. You know I am teasing you, why don't you expose it on the spot?" Lu Yi sighed and shook his head a few more times.
"Because I also want to pick a special gift for my grandfather."
Since it was given to the old man, Guo Zhijun became even more confident. She took out a piece of blood jade unicorn from the counter and put it in her palm: "How about this one?"
Blood jade is a special type of jade that has been buried underground for several years before it has been presented. It has both the delicate texture of mutton fat white jade and the magnificent color. Because it is extremely rare, it has always been priceless and is difficult to see. Moreover, the Qilin on this blood jade is excellent in carving, and even its expression is vivid, Lu Yi took it at a glance.
"The elderly all like jade, especially blood jade, which requires older people to calm down. Hanging it on it can drive away disasters and avoid disasters, attract blessings and bring good fortune, and are very suitable for gifts to elders." The blood-colored jade pieces look particularly bright and red in Guo Zhijun's snow-white palm. Under the light, red silk appears and flashes with a moist light.
Li Zitong took it over and said reluctantly: "I bought it from the descendants of a down-and-out official. I heard that it was the favorite item of a nobleman from their ancestors. It was passed down from generation to generation. The family didn't know the goods and was anxious to cash out, so the price was not high. I originally wanted to put it in the store and sell it to people who know the industry for a good price, but my friend who was elbowing out suddenly recommended the best thing to you. In that case, just add a little car and horse fee to my purchase price, and when I met two more friends."
"I really like it, I like it." Lu Yi put away the blood jade and signaled Li Zitong to wrap it up for him. Then he poked Lin Sen beside him with his elbow, "Hey, why are you still standing there? Go and pay."
Lin Sen happily took out his wallet: "Where to swipe the card?"
"Come with me." Guo Zhijun took him to the cashier next to swipe his card. I wonder if it was because he was nervous when he saw him, Guo Zhijun was a little clumsy.
Lin Sen looked at her curiously. Such a simple and cute little girl could speak very well when talking about antiques and cultural relics. This is not only a hobby.
"What job do you do?" Lin Sen asked casually. Guo Zhijun's hands are slender and clever, and he should be engaged in a more meticulous industry.
Guo Zhijun smiled and shrugged, and glanced at Li Zitong not far away: "I am unemployed now, so I came to my friend's store to help."
"What happened before? What kind of work did you do before?" Lin Sen asked.
Guo Zhijun didn't know how to answer. In fact, she didn't want to answer this question at all, so she had to jokingly say, "Aren't you a doctor? How did you start working as a policeman?"
"Don't get me wrong. Seeing that you are so proficient in antiques, I'll ask curiously." Lin Sen also secretly felt a little funny. He has never been a person with too much curiosity, especially those who are unrelated, and he has no interest in learning more. I don't know what's wrong today. Maybe it's because Guo Zhijun shows abilities that are inconsistent with his appearance. Generally, few girls like to study these things.
"I... just... just like it." Seeing that he stopped asking, Guo Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief and handed the card back to him.
"This is very good. The way you talked about just now is very unique." Lin Sen said suddenly.
If it weren't for his serious appearance, Guo Zhijun would have thought he was teasing her. When she realized that she was praising her, her heart beat violently. When she was nervous, her elbow hit the cabinet behind her. The blue and white porcelain vase she had put on before shook, and she was about to fall. She hurriedly reached out to hug her. Just as she was about to say that it was a false alarm, her feet slipped, and she lost her balance and leaned back.
At that time, Lin Sen stepped forward, hugged her waist, and hugged her in her arms so that she would not fall to the ground.
This sudden change scared Lu Yi and Li Zitong, especially Lu Yi. Lin Sen has always rejected physical contact with others, but now he holds Guo Zhijun tightly in his arms and has no intention of letting go.
Guo Zhijun didn't expect Lin Sen to hug her, and could almost feel his powerful heartbeat. From this angle, she was already addicted to it. She maintained this position and stared at Lin Sen in a daze.
Lin Sen was the first to react. He carefully took the porcelain from Guo Zhijun's arms and placed it on the table. He held up her waist with his other hand, indicating that she could move by herself.
But Guo Zhijun looked at Lin Sen's eyes as if she was possessed. His lips were pursed, stretching out beautiful lines, and her lips were wet and tempting. Her mind was a little out of control at the moment. She suddenly hugged Lin Sen's neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Lin Sen's cheek...
Li Zitong covered her mouth and widened her eyes. Guo Zhijun has never been such a bold person. What happened today? Was he surrendered by the other party's handsomeness?
Lu Yi was also frightened by the scene in front of him, and his mouth was so wide that he could stuff a peach.
Lin Sen frowned and immediately loosened Guo Zhijun's waist. He was quite kind and did not throw Guo Zhijun to the ground on the spot. She just staggered and stood firm.
Lin Sen glanced at Guo Zhijun with disgust, with an expression very unhappy.
Guo Zhijun pouted, not intending to explain anything about his behavior just now.
Li Zitong quickly walked to Guo Zhijun and grabbed her sleeve.
Lin Sen's face turned long: "You'll leave after you buy the things." He was quite graceful, at least he said hello before leaving. If someone else had a big fuss about this matter.
Lu Yi gave Guo Zhijun a thumbs up: "I know that Lin Sen is handsome and elegant, and is the prince charming in the hearts of many girls, but it is rare to pounce on you like you. I admire you."
Guo Zhijun's face was a little hot, but she didn't regret it. She just did what she wanted to do.
After Li Zitong saw the two of them away, she looked at Guo Zhijun in surprise, as if she had never known her: "Zhijun, what's wrong with you today..."
Guo Zhijun put down the vase and said seriously: "I like him."
"Like it?" Li Zitong couldn't tell the difference even more. "You just saw him today and you like him? You have never been an uncontrollable person."
Guo Zhijun raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a smile on her eyes: "Who said I only knew him today? Maybe I had seen him a long time ago. What's more, some people, with just one glance, will determine that they are the person you are looking for in this life. And some people, even if they stay by your side for the rest of their lives, may not be the ones you care about."
"Your words are too profound. I don't understand, nor do I want to understand." Li Zitong patted his head, "My brain cells died in an instant. No, no, I'm a little dizzy. I want to have a good rest and digest the information just now. You can help me see the store."
Li Zitong is the most lazy person. This time he is lazy and has reached a new level and found a new reason.
Guo Zhijun didn't care at all, just so she could keep quiet alone for a while and think about the follow-up actions. This originally boring afternoon became wonderful because of Lin Sen's visit.
Looking at his friend's smug smile, Li Zitong patted his forehead helplessly and went upstairs in his high heels.
Guo Zhijun was in a happy mood all day long, and she kept Li Zitong's shop in an orderly manner, even the windows were spotlessly clean. She was humming a small song while working.
Li Zitong, who was resting on the upper floor, couldn't help but secretly look at her several times. It turned out that the woman in love was so terrible. No, no, she was not considered a love, she could only be a love, a naked love.
It was not until the evening that Guo Zhijun left Li Zitong's antique shop and walked home with light steps.
At this time, the lights were on, and the whole city was shrouded in a light blue mist, with starry lights dotted. Walking on the streets where crowds are getting less crowded, even my mood became lighter and lighter as I walked.
From the antique shop to her house, you have to pass a wide pedestrian street with all kinds of snacks and style shops on the street. There is a pet shop on the corner. Every time she passes by, she stays for a long time. After playing with the cats and dogs there for a while, the clerk and she have long become good friends.
However, before entering the store, she usually has to be fully armed because she is allergic to hairy pets and must wear thick dust masks and gloves to ensure that allergies are isolated to the greatest extent.
She also raised a dog many years ago. It was a very cute and well-behaved Samoy dog named Sasha. It was because of her natural allergic constitution that Sasha was sent away before she became an adult. Unexpectedly, the family that adopted Sasha didn't know how to take care of it. In less than half a year, she heard that Sasha died after she got sick because she did not receive timely treatment. This incident became an indelible pain in Guo Zhijun's heart. She always felt sorry for Sasha. If she hadn't sent Sasha away, Sasha would not have died at all.
Even though she has serious allergies, she still likes small animals very much. No one can stop her enthusiasm and cannot keep pets, so she often comes to pet shops.
The kittens and puppies are soft and cute, and they are so cute. There are also some large dogs fostered by customers here. They have different temperaments, but they are very friendly to Guo Zhijun.
Among these foster dogs, Guo Zhijun likes a Labrador named Sky the most. She is already three years old and is the most lively and energetic. Sky is very smart and very kind to people. Every time she sees Guo Zhijun, she enthusiastically pounces on her, hoping that she can take her to a small park not far away to play. Although Guo Zhijun knows that she is prone to allergies, she still can't bear to refuse Sky's request, and she always takes her around with a rope.
Today, Guo Zhijun saw Sky, who was walking anxiously in a cage through the glass window of the pet store. Sky also saw her at the first time, shook her strong tail excitedly, and screamed excitedly, as if calling her enthusiastically.
Guo Zhijun waved to Sky, pushed the door open, and greeted the clerk Xiao Jiang in familiarly: "Hi, Xiao Jiang, good evening."
Xiao Jiang was cleaning. When he saw Guo Zhijun, he was like seeing a savior: "Oh, Zhijun, you haven't been here for a long time. I thought you had evaporated from the world."
"I'm a little busy lately. Why, do you miss me?" Guo Zhijun smiled and deliberately concealed the incident of a car accident. She didn't want her friends to worry.
"Yes, we all miss you to death." Xiao Jiang was not polite and took a chain and handed it to Guo Zhijun. "You came just right. I am the only one in the store today. Sky hasn't gone out for a walk yet. This little guy couldn't stay even more when he saw you coming. Please help me take it out for a walk. But don't take it too far. Its owner will come to pick it up in a while."
Guo Zhijun took the chain, walked to the sky's cage, pulled it out of it, and asked curiously, "Why did the Sky owner have time to pick it up today? Didn't he say he was very busy with work? By the way, what exactly did he do?"
"Maybe I've been available recently. If he doesn't pick up Sky, Sky will probably not know him." Xiao Jiang shook his head, "Its owner doesn't like to talk every time he comes. He just says he's busy with work, and I don't have the nerve to ask him too many personal questions."
To be continued...
