Chapter 25
Zhou Ranxin slept very deeply this night, and had a lot of strange dreams, but when she woke up, she couldn't remember what she dreamed.
In her mind, she remembered what Ye Jinhua had said to her before she fell asleep.
Wait until she wakes up to make a decision.
Today is Monday, she is still a student, even if there is a big thing, she should finish the class.
Ye Jinhua saw Zhou Ranxin as if nothing had happened, greeted her as usual, and went to and from school with her, on the surface, it was no different from weekdays.
But Zhou Ranxin felt that something was different.
"Who changed my clothes last night?" Zhou Ranxin still has trust in Ye Jinhua, but he is just curious.
Ye Jinhua was helping her clean up the books and notes on the table, and she didn't lift her head, "A female friend of mine."
Zhou Ranxin rarely heard him talk about himself, and he didn't even mention it to his friends, and now he seems to have revealed a little bit of tone, maybe?
She sat reflexively on the table, propped herself up on the table with one hand, and looked sideways into his eyes, but he remained unmoved, continuing to organize her things slowly and methodically.
"What female friends? Have you known each other for a long time? Zhou Ranxin knew that he shouldn't listen to other people's privacy, but their current relationship should be further than ordinary, so it's normal for friends to chat casually.
Ye Jinhua stopped what she was doing, leaned back on the chair that had turned up behind her, distanced herself from her, looked directly at Zhou Ranxin, and asked her, "Are you very interested in her?"
Zhou Ranxin sat up straight, looked away, gently swayed her legs in the air, and muttered, "What am I interested in her?" I asked her if I was interested in you.
Ye Jinhua held the ballpoint pen she used in her hand, pressed the cap, made a soft "click" sound, frowned, and lowered her eyes to answer her question, "I've known each other for a long time."
He only said this and did not continue.
He was an immortal, and she didn't believe what he said, and she knew too much, which was not a good thing for her.
Ye Jinhua didn't look at her again, but was thinking about what Xiao Yuexian reminded him.
At the beginning, he knew that Zhou Ranxin liked him, and he was happy. Human beings like the God of Wealth, but Zhou Ranxin likes him not because he is the God of Wealth, but because he is Ye Jinhua.
But what about after that? He didn't seem to think much about it.
"Aren't you going to eat yet?" Qiao Song, who was passing by the two, carried his bag and said hello to Zhou Ranxin.
Zhou Ranxin beckoned to him and asked casually, "I'll go in a while, what about you?"
"Go to work. The computer store opposite the east gate of the school, if the computer is broken, you can come to me. Qiao Song released enough kindness to her, unlike him who was usually taciturn.
Zhou Ranxin also noticed the changes in Qiao Song, and it was visible to the naked eye that his state was much better than when she first met him, and it seemed that something good had happened.
She smiled and asked, "Is it discounted?"
Qiao Song hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "Eight percent off."
Ye Jinhua, who was on the side, watched their back and forth conversations, and then thought that he had just finished answering Zhou Ranxin's question, and he looked particularly wooden and bored in comparison.
Qiao Song noticed Ye Jinhua's gaze, nodded at him, unnaturally arranged the shoulder straps of his schoolbag, raised his legs and left.
Compared to such people, he seems to be far behind. Qiao Song thought.
Zhou Ranxin jumped off the table and patted Ye Jinhua, "Let's go, I made an appointment with Xie Lao to see the painting in the afternoon."
She hadn't forgotten that there was still a painting spirit at home, and since it was the painting she decided to take back, she should be responsible for it to the end.
Ye Jinhua carried her schoolbag on her back and followed her, but her mind began to float.
Zhou Ranxin noticed that Ye Jinhua seemed to be in a bad mood, and she didn't know if it was because of what happened last night, she never gave him an answer.
In fact, she hasn't thought about it yet. If you get your luck back, what will happen to Zhou Guoyi? Anyway, he was the one who raised her, and she didn't want to regret it in the future.
Xie Lao knew that Zhou Ranxin was going to come to see the painting with Ye Jinhua, so he pushed off the afternoon schedule and specially sent someone to pick them up.
Zhou Ranxin went to see Xie Lao and brought the painting that lived in the painting spirit.
The closer he got to Xie Lao's garden, the more restless the painting spirit became, and Zhou Ranxin felt that the painting was hot through the painting box.
It was Xie Xiangjun who came out to pick people up.
He is a good person, and he is the most observant. Xie Xiangjun stood at the gate of the other garden, saw Zhou Ranxin getting out of the car with the painting, his eyes turned around Zhou Ranxin and Ye Jinhua, and he noticed that there seemed to be some slight changes in the relationship between them.
Xie Xiangjun is not sure if Zhou Ranxin knows Ye Jinhua's immortal identity, if Zhou Ranxin doesn't know, and he rashly breaks it, wouldn't he be offending the God of Wealth? Xie Xiangjun still decided to pretend not to know and stepped forward.
"Isn't that the picture you photographed?" Xie Xiangjun recognized the painting in Zhou Ranxin's hand at a glance.
Zhou Ranxin nodded.
At the auction, the buyers wanted to auction the painting and give it to Xie Lao, so as to take advantage of the Xie family.
"Do you want to ...... too" Xie Xiangjun looked at Zhou Ranxin suspiciously.
Zhou Ranxin didn't say anything, Xie Xiangjun figured it out, I'm afraid she really didn't know the identity of the God of Wealth, otherwise, she should know why the Xie family was special to her and Ye Jinhua, she didn't need to be so polite, and what paintings did she bring.
"Mr. Ye is kind to our Xie family, so you don't need to be so polite." Xie Xiangjun waved his hand.
Zhou Ranxin held the painting and looked at him strangely, "Who said that this painting was to be given away?" I just heard that Grandpa Xie likes to paint, so I brought it to Grandpa Xie for tasting.
This is a painting worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and it was taken by Ye Jinhua, without his consent, how could it be given away?
Ye Jinhua stood behind her, she hugged the painting tightly, and turned to his side, as if she was afraid that Xie Xiangjun would come up and snatch her things.
Even the little gestures are so cute.
Xie Xiangjun faced the two of them, and took Ye Jinhua's expression of looking at Zhou Ranxin with a light smile in his eyes, he didn't know where he didn't know such a look.
Do immortals care about humans like this?
"Please come with me." Xie Xiangjun's respect was all on Ye Jinhua's face, and he walked in front of Ye Jinhua and walked side by side with him.
The position of the three of them became Ye Jinhua in the middle, and the two of them occupied one side.
I've heard of the designer of this annex garden before, but as soon as I stepped into the garden, I heard the sound of running water, and under the winding stone bridge was a well-tended koi pond.
When Ye Jinhua passed by, a koi jumped out of the pool, Zhou Ranxin turned his head to look, and the koi fell into the pool again, splashing water.
"You haven't been here in a while, have you? When was the last time you were here? Xie Xiangjun threw a few topics to Ye Jinhua, but he showed a lack of interest and couldn't talk about it, so he simply chatted with Zhou Ranxin, which was better than making the air quiet.
Zhou Ranxin recalled a little, "When you were in junior high school?
She wasn't sure herself.
"It didn't seem to be a koi pond before." Zhou Ranxin remembers this clearly.
"It was originally a lotus pond. Not long ago, it was changed to a koi pond, and the koi raised by my grandfather in the main house was put here, saying that the koi gave him a dream, and he felt that the place where he lived was too small, and he wanted to change to a larger place. When Xie Xiangjun talked about it, he said in a tone that he couldn't laugh or cry.
Ye Jinhua's gaze stayed on the surface of the pool, and a golden koi followed him all the way, wagging its tail as if to greet him.
Zhou Ranxin followed his gaze, stopped, and found that this golden koi seemed to be different from other koi, born more cute and chubby.
"Is that it?" Her instinct was this.
Xie Xiangjun took a look, hey, there is only a golden koi in the whole pool, I didn't expect Zhou Ranxin to guess so accurately.
"That's it. How do you know?
Zhou Ranxin shook his head proudly, "Intuition."
Ye Jinhua glanced at her, and the corners of her mouth rose.
During the conversation, the painting spirit flew out of the painting in Zhou Ranxin's hand, and flew forward with a very purposeful goal.Zhou Ranxin hurriedly followed the painting spirit.
Xie Xiangjun couldn't see the painting spirit, but saw that she suddenly crossed in front of him, and that direction happened to be the direction where her grandfather was, so she thought that she couldn't wait to see Old Man Xie, and was about to say something to Ye Jinhua, Ye Jinhua followed Zhou Ranxin without saying a word.
Xie Xiangjun, who was following behind, carefully observed and found that the distance between the two people in front of him would not exceed half a meter at most.
The God of Wealth follows the humans who care about it closely. Xie Xiangjun thought.
The painting spirit finally flew into the main hall, circled around the old man Xie who was waiting in the hall twice, and then landed on the back of his hand.
Zhou Ranxin couldn't understand what this meant, and subconsciously went to find Ye Jinhua, and almost hit his chest as soon as she turned her head, but fortunately, she braked the car in time and didn't jump into his arms.
Ye Jinhua smelled the fragrance in her hair, held her shoulder, and whispered to her, "Leave it to me."
Zhou Ranxin raised his head, originally thinking that he would meet his gaze, but he crossed her and looked directly at Old Man Xie.
Old Man Xie was unaware of the painting spirit on his hand's back, and happily greeted the two.
"I know you want to see the paintings, I've already asked them to sort them out, come with me." Old Man Xie was not ambiguous at all, and led the two of them to the exhibition hall.
Xie Xiangjun finally caught up with them, and just walked into the main hall, he had to accompany them to the exhibition hall to see the paintings.
The exhibition hall has been redesigned, and the light is just right to show the whole picture of the painting perfectly.
After the painting spirit entered the exhibition hall, he was still unmoved, and stayed on the back of Old Man Xie's hand.
This time, Zhou Ranxin also understood that if the painting was here, the painting spirit would go home directly, how could it still be on the back of Old Man Xie's hand.
Zhou Ranxin patiently followed Old Man Xie to look at the paintings, and glanced at Ye Jinhua from time to time.
Unlike her drunkard, Ye Jinhua seems to really come to appreciate the paintings, and he will stop in front of some ancient paintings from time to time.
Zhou Ranxin paid attention to the painting he stopped, and the label next to it had painters and dynasties, which seemed to be paintings of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Great Yan Dynasty ...... It's been 500 years now, are these paintings any different from other paintings?
It also takes an hour to walk through the entire exhibition hall.
But halfway through shopping, Ye Jinhua asked Old Man Xie: "Are there any other paintings?"
Old Man Xie was observing Ye Jinhua and Zhou Ranxin just now, they didn't seem to come to see the painting, but like they were looking for something. But they didn't say what they were looking for, and it seemed that it was inconvenient for him to know.
"Yes. It's just ......" Old Man Xie glanced at Zhou Ranxin, who was still looking at the painting, and the meaning was obvious, he was asking Ye Jinhua if he wanted to take Zhou Ranxin.
Ye Jinhua glanced around the exhibition hall, there are many paintings here, and the dynasties are also different, but the paintings of the Great Yan Dynasty are much fewer than other paintings, and it may be that this dynasty is short, and the war is chaotic, so there are few paintings.
"It's okay." Ye Jinhua didn't think he needed to hide anything from Zhou Ranxin.
Xie Xiangjun followed Zhou Ranxin's side, introducing her to the painting from time to time, deliberately leaving room for Mr. Ye and the old man to talk.
Unexpectedly, the old man glanced at him, so he took Mr. Ye to the direction of the secret room.
Xie Xiangjun thought of the statue of the God of Wealth in the secret room, patted Zhou Ranxin's shoulder, and sighed, "Let's go, grandpa let us follow."
Zhou Ranxin listened to his tone, as if he didn't let her follow, but let her go to the execution ground, looking at him strangely.
And so it is.
When she saw the "God of Wealth" in the secret room, she was silent.
