Chapter 1 The Jade Pendant that Comes with It

The spring rain in March was continuous, and it continued to rain for five or six days. The two days finally cleared up; the sun was shining and the breeze was gentle. As the weather turned warmer, people took off their thick cotton coats and happily Put on a light jacket and T-shirt, and live freely in the sunshine and breeze. The warm sunshine and the slight breeze are really comfortable!

The Huimin Clinic not far from Xingcheng University, as the weather improved, business seemed to be booming at this time, and the injection room was already full of five or six patients hanging from water.

Xu Ze carefully punctured the last patient's needle, adjusted the dripping speed of the liquid, and said hello to Sister Luo, the nurse, and walked out, walked into the consultation room, and looked at the old doctor Zhang who was reading a book, Carefully said: "Elder Zhang, I have something to do tonight, so I may not come here tonight!"

"Well... go get busy if you have something to do, don't delay your studies!" Old Doctor Zhang looked up at Xu Ze, who had a humble face, smiled and nodded, then opened the drawer, took out an envelope and handed it over, "This is Last month's salary, get it!"

Looking at the thin envelope, Xu Ze's eyes lit up slightly. He secretly waited for this. He immediately took the envelope with a smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, then I'll go first!"

Full of joy, he counted the eight hundred-yuan bills in the envelope, and then went to the ATM at the school gate to withdraw all his long-deposited property of five hundred yuan. After that, Xu Ze rode his bicycle and went straight to Tongzi Street. And go.

Tongzi Street is the largest street for antiques and jade in Xingcheng. Xu Ze has accompanied his classmates to visit here several times before, so he is still familiar with it.

But today he is not here to hang out. Today is his girlfriend Zhang Linyun's birthday. As a boyfriend, it is inevitable to prepare an unusual gift, so Xu Ze has been frugal for a month, but today he plans to save his blood. Go to please your girlfriend.

He knew that Lin Yun had been wanting a jade Buddha pendant for a long time, but since some slightly better jade pendants were expensive, he always just looked at them with envy, and never thought of buying them.

And Xu Ze was planning to pick one for Lin Yun as a birthday present to give her a surprise. After all, they have been together for several months and have never given Lin Yun anything.

He knows that there is an old jade shop here. This shop has a history of more than 80 years in Tongzi Street. The owner of the shop is an ancestral craftsman. The store is not big, but a few classmates who know the basics of Xingcheng clearly said that although the store looks small, it has always been childlike and innocent, and it is much more affordable than buying it in a jewelry store outside.

So since Xu Ze made up his mind to buy a jade pendant, of course he took the money and went straight here.

Tongzi Street has always been lively, Xu Ze pushed his bicycle all the way and strolled for a while, and then he found the small antique sign of Wangji Jade Store from the colorful signs on both sides.

After parking the car at the door, Xu Ze pushed open the somewhat outdated glass and wooden door and walked in.

Seeing the familiar shop owner, Xu Ze breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was in the right place. The last time he came here, this gray-haired old man was guarding the shop.

Seeing someone coming in, the shop owner nodded towards Xu Ze and said with a smile, "This classmate, what do you want to buy?"

Xu Ze walked over, smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "Old man, I want to buy a jade pendant, in the shape of a jade Buddha!"

The shop owner nodded with a smile, looked at Xu Ze, and suddenly said with a smile: "Male with Guanyin and female with Buddha, do you want to buy Jade Buddha? Give it to your girlfriend!"

"Haha..." Xu Ze touched the back of his head and nodded with a dry smile.

The shop owner looked at the obvious embarrassment, Xu Ze chuckled lightly and said: "What's the embarrassment of this, tell me, what price do you want to buy, I'll help you pick a few and see!"

"Well... about seven or eight hundred is enough!"

"Seven, eight hundred..." The owner touched a few sparse beards on his chin.

Then he leaned down, took out three or four boxes from the counter, opened the lids one by one, put them on the counter, and said with a smile, "Look, these are all over seven hundred or eight hundred. , just say if you like it; since you found me directly, of course you know that I won't charge you!"

"That's what it is!" Xu Ze nodded with a smile: "I bought it with a few classmates, so I went directly to you, of course I'm very relieved."

Immediately, he was not polite. He lay on the counter and looked carefully. These jade Buddhas were all pale green jadeite, and the other was a milky white jade. Xu Ze frowned and looked at it for a while, in his opinion. , The pale green jade species are extremely beautiful, but it seems that Lin Yun seems to like that kind of white jade.

Therefore, Xu Ze looked at the white jade Buddha, which seemed to be quite beautiful, and asked the shop owner, "How much is this white one?"

"Well... this white jade pendant is eight hundred and fifty!" the shop owner laughed.

"Eight hundred and five..." Xu Ze frowned, thinking about the 1,300 yuan in his pocket, secretly it would be better to leave some living expenses, then he looked up at the shopkeeper and said, "Old man, it can be cheaper. Is it? Eight hundred and fifty is a bit expensive..."

The shop owner looked at Xu Ze and said with a light smile: "For this jade, eight hundred and fifty is a very fair price. I can guarantee that if you are in a jewelry store outside, you will never be able to get it without one thousand and five; Since you have been here with me, you should know that I am here at real prices, not bargaining!"

"But it's really expensive." Looking at the white jade pendant on the table, Xu Ze hesitated.

Seeing Xu Ze hesitate, the shopkeeper smiled and took out two boxes from the counter and put them in front of Xu Ze, and said with a smile, "Then let's take a look at these two, they are both white jade, one is six hundred and eighty, and the other is seven. One hundred and five."

Xu Ze looked at the two white jade Buddhas, and was really not satisfied. The eight hundred and fifty one was obviously much more beautiful. Since I bought it for Lin Yun, of course I had to choose a better one, not by saving the hundreds of dollars.

At the moment, he shook his head lightly, looked at the shopkeeper reluctantly and said, "Old man, you should be cheaper, I really like this first!"

"Heh...you know the rules of our store, we really don't bargain." The owner shook his head lightly, looked at Xu Ze, and said with a smile: "I can see that you really want to buy it, if you are sure to buy this, then I will I can give you a gift."

After that, the shopkeeper took out another small silk bag from the counter, took out a pale green jade pendant and put it on the counter, saying, "The so-called man with Guanyin and female with Buddha, I don't think you don't have a Guanyin that protects your body. Here is a piece of Guanyin jade pendant that I came with when I purchased it. Although the carving is not very good, the quality of the jade is barely good. If you like it, take it together. few!"

Looking at the jade pendant in front of him, Xu Ze sighed lightly. The jade seems to be transparent, but the carving is not very good, it can only be said that it is very bad, because if you look carefully, No one could see that this was Zun Guanyin.

But there is no way. Xu Ze knows that the owner is telling the truth. Wangji jade has never been a bargain. Now that he can earn a gift jade pendant, it is already very good. Let’s get a pair together. Lin Yun brings Maitreya Buddha. , I bring Guanyin, it can be regarded as a couple!

Thinking of this, Xu Ze's heart is sweet, and he is not entangled at the moment. Anyway, he still has a few hundred, so save it for now!

Immediately after paying the payment, he hung the pale green jade pendant, which was not very similar to Guanyin, around his neck. He then took the box containing the white jade Buddha and thanked the shopkeeper, and then rode back happily. go to school.

Xu Ze, who was full of joy, rode quickly on the way back to school. After riding for a while, a trace of sweat gradually appeared on his body, and the sweat slowly flowed down his chest and back, and gradually wet the one on his chest. Jade pendant.

But he didn't notice that the pale green jade pendant hanging on his neck suddenly flashed a strange light after touching the sweat, and then the whole jade pendant began to become transparent, with a burst of colorful inside. The light of the pendant slowly changed, and after two seconds, the light slowly disappeared again, and the entire jade pendant returned to its original appearance, but there was a strange message inside: the system carrier is turned on, waiting for activation...

At this time, Xu Ze, who was riding his bike with excitement, was unaware of all this...

It was already 1:30 when I returned to school. After having a quick lunch, I rushed to class. In the afternoon, the local anatomy Xu Ze spent in chaos, constantly looking at the exquisite box containing the Jade Buddha in his hand. , Seeing the bright white and translucent Jade Buddha in the box is so dazzling and dazzling, Xu Ze's heart has always been sweet.

When Lin Yun saw this Jade Buddha, she would definitely like it very much. Thinking of Lin Yun's happy appearance, Xu Ze's heart also fluttered.

The eldest mule in the bedroom, who was sitting beside him, looked at Xu Ze, who had been giggling and absent-minded all afternoon, and finally couldn't help laughing, grabbed the box in Xu Ze's hand, and said with a smile, "Look at you What did you buy for Lin Yun, such a baby!"

"Hey... the mule, just move around, give it back to me..." In this daze, Xu Ze, who was missing the box in his hand, hurriedly said nervously, "Don't break it for me..."

Seeing Xu Ze's nervous appearance, the mule carefully opened the box in his hand, looked at the crystal clear white jade Buddha, and couldn't help but exclaimed, looked up at Xu Ze and said, "You kid used to be very frugal, I can't think of how to treat Lin Yun. I’m really willing to give it up, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get this jade Buddha without a thousand yuan, I saw a similar one last time, and it’s more than 1,800!”

Xu Ze carefully snatched the box back from the mule's hand, and quickly closed it. Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's almost too much, as long as Lin Yun likes it!"

"Tsk tsk...you kid, I really don't see that kind of love!" Mule pretended to sigh twice and said with a smile: "Okay, kid, have fun today, it's better to strike while the iron is hot...haha... "

Xu Ze turned a blind eye to the mule's ridicule, just carefully put away the treasure box, put it in his pocket, and waited for the get out of class to end.

After finally waiting for the bell to ring, Xu Ze excitedly ran towards Lin Yun and the others' dormitory building No. 10. He kept the surprise for a day, and finally brought it to her at this time.

Xu Ze asked early that Lin Yun had no class this afternoon. She should be dressing up in the dormitory and preparing to go out for dinner at this time.

Xu Ze ran to the tenth dormitory building, excitedly took out his second-hand Nokia, and dialed the familiar number; however, the familiar color ringtone did not come from the microphone, but a depressing female computer voice: "Sorry, the phone you dialed has been switched off, if you need to..."

Suddenly, Xu Ze was stunned, "Shut down? What's going on?"

"She must have forgotten to charge!" Xu Ze thought for a moment, seemed to laugh suddenly, and then pressed another set of familiar numbers.

"Beep...beep...beep..." Xu Ze waited for a long time, but no one answered. Just when he felt more and more uneasy, a familiar voice finally came from there.

"Xuanzi, is Lin Yun there?" Xu Ze quickly asked after hearing this familiar voice with some doubts and unease.

Xuanzi's voice seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then he replied: "Well... Lin Yun is not here, I... I haven't seen her since this afternoon!"

"Linyun isn't there?" Hearing Xuanzi's uneasy tone, Xu Ze felt more and more uneasy, he pondered for a while, and asked again: "Then do you know where she went? Her phone is turned off! "

"I don't know, maybe the phone is out of power, why don't you wait and try again?" Xuanzi said with a dry smile.

Xu Ze took a deep breath, suppressed his uneasiness, and said indifferently, "Okay, Xuanzi, thank you, if you see Lin Yun and ask her to give me a call, please?"

"Okay, I still have something to do, so let's do this first..." As the voice fell, a disconnection sound of "beep beep..." quickly came from the microphone.

Holding the phone, Xu Ze's delicate eyebrows were tightly twisted together, full of unease and doubts: "What happened? Today is her birthday, but where has she been?"

Thinking of this, and thinking of Fang Cai Xuanzi's strange tone, Xu Ze's face gradually turned gloomy, could it be... Thinking of this, Xu Ze was startled, turned his head, and quickly got rid of the thought in his mind. This kind of terrible thought, murmured: "No, Lin Yun will definitely not..."

"But today is her birthday, but why is her phone turned off? Why is Xuanzi's speech so weird?" The expression on Xu Ze's face changed quickly. After a long time, he finally sighed and looked up at the man on the sixth floor. That window, turn around and leave;

However, after leaving the door of Building 10, Xu Ze hesitated for a while, but found a stone bench under a tree not far away and sat down. He sat like that, as if waiting quietly for something...

Building 10, Bedroom 602, Xuanzi stood on the balcony, looked down carefully, finally sighed, turned to a bright girl and said, "Lin Yun, Xu Ze is gone!"

"Let's go? Are you sure you're leaving?" After getting confirmation from Xuan Zi, the girl named Lin Yun finally stretched her eyebrows, which were tightly knit together, and took a sigh of relief, then took the phone of another girl next to her. , made a call.

Xuanzi walked into the room and looked at Lin Yun who was talking softly to the person on the phone. She shook her head helplessly. After Lin Yun hung up the phone, she smiled wryly: "Lin Yun , that doesn't seem good!"

Hearing Xuanzi's words, a shadow flashed across Zhang Linyun's pretty face, but she soon turned around and smiled and said, "Xuanzi, emotional matters can't be forced, I liked him at first, but after dating for a while, I didn't. I found that I don't like his type, and he is more stingy;"

"And now I have found a person I really like and who treats me well; Tao Zhixiong not only plays basketball well, but also looks very sunny and generous, but he is much better than Xu Ze. You have to bless me. !"

Zhang Linyun's words made Xuanzi shook her head helplessly and sighed lightly: "Well, this is your own business, we can't control it, but Xu Ze is not stingy towards you, and earns living expenses by working part-time every month. , but it seems that you have never been asked to pay when we are together...Although Tao Zhixiong is more generous to you and often sends flowers or something, but...forget it today is your birthday, we won't mention it! "

Soon, the phone just now rang again, Lin Yun looked at the number on the phone with a charming smile on her face, and smiled at a few roommates: "Let's go, let's go downstairs, they have already come over. !"

Xu Ze looked at the familiar figure among the girls walking out of the door of the tenth dormitory from a distance, and suddenly a strong tingling like never before surged up in his heart, why did Lin Yun lie to me...

Xu Ze was extremely puzzled and painful, but he quickly understood, because he saw the four boys who had just walked downstairs and greeted them. The two groups would meet, and then one of the boys gave the most familiar figure. A bunch of pink roses were presented, and the two of them were still standing close together, not knowing what they were doing, while a few people next to them suddenly burst into a cheerful roar.

Seeing all this, Xu Ze's head felt dizzy for no reason, and his chest suddenly became stuffy, as if he was about to suffocate;

Xu Ze's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and after slamming his fist on his chest for a few times, his chest seemed to loosen a little. He stroked his chest and murmured, "Why? Why is this? ?"

Xu Ze was in pain here, and the group of people over there also left the door of the dormitory and walked towards the avenue here. It seemed that they were going out to eat.

Seeing the group of people walking towards this side, Xu Zeqiang calmed himself, took two deep breaths, and made the suffocation in his chest less uncomfortable, and then slowly stood up from the stone bench.

This group of people walked, walked, and finally walked to the avenue, towards a silver-gray Toyota car parked next to it, but at this time, someone finally saw Xu Ze standing under the tree on the opposite side of the avenue.

"Xu Ze!" Xuanzi looked at Xu Ze with a pale face across from him, exclaimed in surprise, and then stopped.

Hearing the name, the other three girls stopped in amazement, raised their heads in unison, and looked at Xu Ze, who was walking slowly across from him, with some guilty conscience.

And Zhang Linyun, who was walking ahead holding the boy's hand, looked at Xu Ze, who was walking slowly, and her face, which happened to be smiling, suddenly froze.

Xu Ze walked over slowly, looked at Zhang Linyun, and then looked at the boy next to him with an ear stud on his head and a flamboyant face, but a faint smile appeared on his pale face. It was just this. The smile makes people look a little cold.

"Your new boyfriend?" Xu Ze asked with a faint cold smile, his black eyes sparkling with complex light, looking at Zhang Linyun quietly.

Zhang Linyun looked at the faintly charming smile on her face that was so handsome and gentle in the past, and her dark eyes, her mouth moved twice, and her heart was terrified, but she didn't say anything. .

When facing Xu Ze, she had never felt this kind of fear. In the past, Xu Ze had always given her a gentle and casual, even sometimes cowardly air, and she had always been in front of him. Dominance, what she says is what.

But now, the strange aura on Xu Ze's body is making her heart tremble slightly, it seems to be a feeling that makes her feel...awe, yes, it's awe.

The boy next to him also recognized the person in front of him at this time, Xu Ze, who seemed to be Lin Yun's ex-boyfriend; he snorted coldly, and shouted, "Boy, it's none of your business, let go!"
