The right way to pretend to be inscrutable

In Bai Duan's eyes, Chu Yao is as omnipotent as Gu Xiao Zhenjun.After getting the other party's promise that he would help him to take a picture of the bronze tripod, Bai Duan was so determined that he finally moved his eyes away from the bronze tripod with satisfaction, and even glanced at Nakano Ichiro indifferently. A group of people, showing off with a little subtlety.

Chu Yao: "..."

—I really don't know what he is proud of.

Afterwards, Bai Duan walked to other exhibits, and began to observe one after another—even though he knew that these things were not for him, it did not prevent Bai Duan from "satisfying" his eyes.Just like looking at those food pictures, even if you can't eat it, it will make people feel satisfied.

Finally, Bai Duan came to the exhibit that he was least interested in.This is an ancient sword, but Bai Duan is not interested in it, not because the historical value and collection value of this ancient sword is not high, but because there is no aura on it that makes Bai Duan covet, instead there is a faint evil spirit flowing .

——Bale Qi, Bai Duan has already eaten enough, and he can't mobilize his "appetite" at all.

Seeing Bai Duan looking at the ancient sword, the staff of the auction house who was doing inspection work couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and they struck up a conversation.After all, most of the nobles present are old, even if they can barely be called "young and promising", they will definitely not have the appearance of Bai Duan and Chu Yao. As the saying goes, "everyone has the love of beauty", this It is understandable that the two female employees have a good impression of Chu Yao and Bai Duan.

Fortunately, she still remembered that she was at work, and instead of chatting about other topics, she began to introduce the origin of the ancient sword in front of them to the two.

According to her, this ancient sword is one of Wu An Jun Bai Qi's sabers.Bai Qi took the lead on the battlefield, and countless dead souls fell under his sword. He even killed 40 Zhao soldiers in the Changping pit. He was known as the "killing god" and "human slaughter". Several sabers were also contaminated with a lingering evil spirit due to long-term wearing, which has not dissipated even after thousands of years.

This ancient sword has been handed down since ancient times, and every generation of masters has a bad end. Some people once hated it deeply for ruining their own families and wanted to destroy it, but they never succeeded. .

Listening to the female employee's explanation, Bai Duan was full of curiosity: "Does anyone dare to buy such a vicious thing?"

The female employee smiled: "Guests don't need to worry. After killing many people, this sword was finally obtained by a skilled master. In order to prevent it from continuing to harm people, the master spent a lot of effort and finally sealed it. .Now, it is just an ordinary Qin Dynasty ancient sword."

Bai Duan nodded thoughtfully, then turned to look at the bronze sword in the showcase.He did see an indistinct air net on the ancient sword, restraining the evil spirit in the sword, it should be the "seal" that the female staff said.However, this layer of seal has been going on for a long time, and it has been continuously impacted by the evil spirit of the ancient sword, which makes Bai Duan break into a cold sweat.

——However, as long as it is not a coincidence, this seal should last for another few decades, so Bai Duan was only worried for a while, then threw away her hands and ignored it .

Seeing that Bai Duan stayed by the ancient sword for a long time, Chu Yao thought he was interested in this auction item, so he couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Bai Duan shook her head: "No, I don't plan to buy it, I'm just curious."

Bai Duan's curiosity refers to the evil spirit and seal on the ancient sword, but in Chu Yao's ears, he thinks that he is attracted by these rumors of gods and ghosts: "These rumors are almost all gimmicks. , it cannot be considered true. As long as the age of the collection matches, the place where it was unearthed matches, or there are one or two stories that seem to be true or false that have been handed down from the mouth of the former collector, and the copywriting on it matches the identity of the historical figure Status, even if it’s irrelevant, is often brought together, such as Concubine Yang’s jade hairpin, Empress Dowager Cixi’s snuff bottle, just listen to it as an interesting story.”

Bai Duan blinked her eyes, turned her head to look at the female employee on the side, and found that she was still only smiling slightly, and didn't intend to refute, as if she acquiesced to Chu Yao's remarks.

Fortunately, Bai Duan was not interested in the history of antiques, so he didn't feel any disappointment.He thanked the female staff, and then left the display cabinet together with Chu Yao, unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he met Ichiro Nakano again.

The young man next to Nakano Ichiro seemed to be introducing the origin of this ancient sword to him, which caused the old man to nod repeatedly, obviously aroused interest.It's just that Bai Duan didn't intend to compete with him this time, and quickly looked away indifferently, and followed Chu Yao out of the exhibition room.

A few days later, the auction officially opened, and Bai Duan happily stepped into Chu Yao's car with all the assets she had arranged. Unexpectedly, just as she stopped at the entrance of the auction house, she saw someone getting off from another car. acquaintances.

Mr. Zhou was supported by his grandson Zhou Youming, with a smile on his face, he was greeting other auction guests.Because Zhou's family survived a catastrophe, Mr. Zhou was in high spirits every happy event, his cheeks were rosy, and he looked extraordinarily hale and hearty.However, Bai Duan could tell that this kind of health was only superficial.

After all, as he gets older, and because of the erosion of evil spirits into his body, he will suffer some damage. Now Mr. Zhou is in a good mood, so he is full of energy, so he doesn't show his decline. But after a few years, about It will not be able to hold on.

Bai Duan has always been very indifferent to the life and death of irrelevant people, not to mention the Zhou family's own death, which caused a catastrophe. It is obviously impossible not to pay anything.

Soon, he moved his eyes away from Mr. Zhou, but never thought that Mr. Zhou saw him at this time, and directly accused the others, and greeted him: "Master Bai, you are here too!" I knew that if you are so interested in antiques, you will definitely not miss this auction!" He said, and he glanced at Chu Yao with a smile on his face, "However, since nephew Chu Xian is here, neither do I Just mind your own business and ask for an invitation post for Master Bai."

Bai Duan nodded to Mr. Zhou as a greeting, while Chu Yao took a step forward, together with Zhou Youming, supported Mr. Zhou from left to right, and chatted with him about the daily life with a smile.

Mr. Zhou has long been accustomed to Bai Duan's taciturnity, and he doesn't feel disobedient in the face of Bai Duan's indifference. While chatting with Chu Yao, he will also throw the topic to Bai Duan. As long as he can get a simple promise from him, he will He looked very happy.

For Mr. Zhou's enthusiastic attitude, everyone around saw it, and naturally they secretly measured it.

There was a big change in the Zhou family, thanks to the help of a young feng shui master in his twenties, the crisis was turned into safety, and it was widely circulated among the upper circles of the Shanghai stock market.Although everyone did not see Bai Duan at the Zhou family dinner, they were familiar with the deeds of this Feng Shui master, and because his background was unknown, his methods were unpredictable, and his background was too deep. The mysterious color of dread.

Now seeing with their own eyes who this "Master Bai" is, although everyone marvels at his youth and appearance, they are not disappointed because they have been prepared for a long time. Instead, they keep it in their hearts and tell themselves and themselves The juniors in the family must not offend each other.

Chu Yao knew that Mr. Zhou's behavior was for the sake of the young Bai Duan, and he naturally reciprocated, giving Mr. Zhou enough face.

He and Bai Duan kept sending Mr. Zhou to the box that Zhou's family had reserved, until the guests entered the venue one after another and the auction was about to start, and then they got up to leave, and declined Mr. Zhou's invitation to stay in the box with them. Proposal to sit together.

After all, Bai Duan was still unstoppable, even with Chu Yao smoothing out his flaws, it would be very easy to reveal his secrets, let alone under the eyes of a well-informed and scheming old fox like Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou is very sorry for Bai Duan's departure. After all, he is still looking forward to sitting with Bai Duan, discussing the collections at the auction, and listening to what this "Master Bai" with unique and sharp eyesight has to say .

However, the goal was not achieved, but he did not force it. He sent Chu Yao and Bai Duan out of the box with a smile, and when they returned to his own box, Bai Duan rubbed his face that was about to become stiff, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The seats in the box are extremely soft and comfortable, even if you sit for several hours, you will not feel tired at all. At the same time, the auction house also provides top-quality tea, fragrant lips and teeth, as well as various snacks, nuts and fruits , lest the guests feel bored.

The graceful staff in uniform stood at the door of the box and bowed to them, while Chu Yao waved her hand, saying that she didn't need any service, and sent her out of the box.

When only himself and Chu Yao were left in the private room, Bai Duan finally relaxed. He stuffed a piece of fruit into his mouth, and the whole mink collapsed on the seat. He complained dissatisfiedly to Chu Yao: " Tired."

"I just let you sit on the side, and you don't even need to say anything, so you feel tired?" Chu Yao laughed, sat down beside Bai Duan, and poured himself a cup of tea, "It's me, talking so hard that my throat hurts." It's going to smoke!"

Bai Duan watched Chu Yao chewing peonies as if he was swallowing the high-quality tea in one gulp, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him: "Thank you for your hard work."

Chu Yao smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Bai Duan, his eyes were deep, and his tone was gentle: "It's nothing hard, for you, I am willing."

Bai Duan was unprepared, and when Chu Yao slapped her bluntly, she immediately felt a little angry. She only felt her face flushed and her heartbeat was a little disordered.

It's just that Chu Yao, who succeeded in seeing the needle, didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Anyway, he just thought the timing was right, so he flirted casually without expecting any breakthrough.Averting his gaze from Bai Duan's face, Chu Yao raised his hand and motioned him to look at the window of the box: "The auction has begun."

"Ah... um." Bai Duan moved uncomfortably, and subconsciously cast her gaze out of the window, but her mind was in such a mess that she couldn't concentrate at all.

Guxiao Zhenjun's temperament is extremely introverted, and he is a perfect example of "love is hard to express". Although he treats Bai Duan with a gentle attitude, he never resorts to it, even if it is a smile, he seldom gives it.

Bai Duan was already used to Zhenjun Guxiao's way of expressing his feelings, so he quickly saw through and accepted Chu Yao's care hidden under his poisonous tongue and impatience, and adapted well.

However, when Chu Yao changed his style and went to another extreme, the little spirit devouring mink was caught off guard and didn't know how to deal with it.

The affectionate gaze, gentle words, and intimate actions all made Bai Duan dizzy and at a loss, but... felt extraordinarily happy, it seemed that it was warm and sweet from the inside out, making him feel very happy. melt.

There is no one who doesn't like sweet talk and vows of eternal love. Everyone in the world says "crying children have candy", so learning to express one's wishes and feelings in words is actually a very important thing—don't you see, those who lie How many scumbags who love little girls and have no complaints or regrets, are not eloquent and talkative?Probably only mature and rational people who have done their best will disdain these verbal tenderness and promises.

However, the current Bai Duan is still in the stage of falling into the emotional vortex for the first time and is very easy to be deceived.What's more, Chu Yao will not only make Bai Duan happy with words, but also take practical actions to help him solve problems.

Looking at the white satin with red cheeks and absent thoughts, even if one auction item after another was brought to the stage and bought away, he could not attract his attention, Chu Yao's eyes became more tender, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. He tried his best to hide his good mood.

——For Bai Duan, who is a little dull and ignorant of love, silent care and dedication will not have much effect, and it will even make him get used to it and take it for granted.

Therefore, while paying, it is necessary to constantly stimulate him with words and actions, so that he can clearly understand his own intentions, so that he can smoothly take this stupid mink into his arms.

Although it is the first time to pursue others, Chu Yao has seen a lot and naturally has a wealth of theoretical knowledge. No matter what, this mink cannot escape.
