Transmigrated into a Big Boss to snatch away the Cannon Fodder
Chapter 46~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What's this" Lin Ji held up the thing in the box in confusion. Looks kind of like an.... amulet for protection?
Scrutinizing the details carefully, Lin Ji felt the words on it look somewhat familiar. In the past, he studied some ancient Chinese words. The words on the amulet seemed like a Daoist phrase.
"This is used to repel peach blossoms?"
(Note: Peach blossoms is another way of saying pretty women / sometimes men.)"How did you know?" Rong Qing asked, surprised.
Was it that recognizable? If there wasn't a description on the item when he bought it, he wouldn't have known himself. Not to mention, this protection amulet has quite a history.
This amulet was formed naturally from a very rare, a thousand year old, agarwood tree. Then a great master personally carved in the words while maintaining the original shape of this piece of agarwood tree.
Who would have imagined! Although it wasn't expensive! It sounded really cool, okay!? It's a thousand years old, and naturally formed, and carved by a master! Wasn't this made perfectly to be bought by daddy's money?
Lin Ji took a deep breath. He told himself, he needed to remain calm. Rong Qing, probably didn't mean... that.
He slowly lifted his head and made sure once again that Rong Qing's expression didn't change from before. He looked at Rong Qing with an inexplicable expression: "Why did you... buy this for me?"
Repel peach blossoms. Was it to repel other peach blossoms, or to repel Rong Qing himself? If it's to repel Rong Qing, Lin Ji felt a bit helpless, what did he need this for?
Or maybe, Rong Qing was trying to express some other meaning?
"I just thought it suited you pretty well." Being stared like that by Lin Ji, Rong Qing strangely felt a bit lacking in confidence. He lowered his head and used his fingers to fiddle with the amulet.
Was this amulet not good? Was repelling peach blossoms not good? He felt it was pretty good! En?
Rong Qing picked it up with his hand to take a whiff.
If anything else, it really smelled very good too.
He didn't smell it carefully before giving it directly to Lin Ji. It wasn't until now that he discovered, this smell actually was really nice.
Maybe, I should buy one for myself also?
But this didn't really suit him at all. Though it definitely suited Lin Ji! To tell the truth, as soon as this thing appeared in the auction, he immediately thought of Lin Ji.
How to explain it?
He really just thought that... it suits Lin Ji very well!
"Suits me?" Lin Ji gave him a deep look: "Why?"
Because...
Why?
Because he thought it suited Lin Ji as soon as he laid his eyes on it, and then felt pretty good? So he bought it!
Rong Qing unconsciously avoided Lin Ji's gaze. He strangely felt a bit timid. But he didn't know what he was afraid of: "I just thought you'd look pretty good wearing it."
