I collect cultural relics in the human world

"Fan Yu, Liu Rui, Guan Zihe, and even Director Deng, all the people I know have been made public, but Ah Si has not yet." Qin Jian pretended to be pitiful, but with a coaxing smile on his lips, " Why don't Ah Si take me to the public too?"

"Didn't I invite you to the dance?" He Si complained in a low voice, with some conflicting emotions.

"What's wrong?" Qin Jian was joking. He didn't want to touch something. He was nervous and curious, "Did something happen in school?"

"There are some rumors, first about Song Zhaoxuan, and then about a mysterious man who appeared in the milk tea shop, but he is so eye-catching," He Si said, and glanced at Qin Jian, "Now there is Deng Chensha who is making a fuss, everyone is going up. It’s on the news. Anyway, it seems that my relationship between men and women is very messy.”

After He Si finished speaking, she kicked a pebble away from her feet as if to vent her anger. Qin Jian looked at her changing expression and knew that she was speaking lightly, but she must have suffered a lot of grievances, and he felt heartbroken. However, when the words came to his mouth, he was relaxed. He imitated Fan Yu and said jokingly: "So that's what happened, my fair lady. Gentlemen are so jealous. What's the problem?"

"Maybe it's because you are all so good."

"Then I will go to your school for a walk and let them see it so that they can get out of trouble."

"Narcissist." He Si said and looked up at the man. He had a light behind him, and the golden light just weakened his sharp and sharp face, making him look much warmer. "Then go ahead, but there is no If you go to the Mirror Gallery, you may not be able to catch up.”

"It's okay. If you can't make it in time, just buy two buckets of instant noodles and sit in your cafeteria to eat."

He Si was amused when she saw Qin Jian talking nonsense seriously, and her big moist eyes turned into crescents. But just as they walked out of the alley, Qin Jian's cell phone rang suddenly. He whispered back a few words, his expression did not change, but his brisk walking gradually stopped.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him hang up the phone, He Si asked immediately.

"A little situation."

"Is...what happened?"

"It's nothing serious. The guest who just arrived today had a small accident, but the lunch plan has to be cancelled." Qin Jian said with a wry smile on his face, "There always seem to be various things that hinder our dates."

"The days are long." He Si replied politely, "Today's meeting was not in the plan. It was a stolen chance encounter."

"That's right, I'm greedy," Qin Jian leaned down again and placed a low kiss on He Si's forehead, "Then we'll see you at the dance tomorrow night."

"Yeah." He Si stopped asking Qin Jian about his guests and answered simply.

The two finally reached the intersection. Qin Jian tightened He Si's collar again and watched her car drive away. Only then did his warm face turn cold. He dialed the number again and got straight to the point: "Xiao How come the stone is missing?”

"It hasn't been found out yet." The voice on the other end of the phone was suppressed and calm, "I don't know if he left by himself or was taken away by someone."

"When did it happen?"

"I just discovered this morning. After winter, the small stones become less and less moved. They often look like Suanni stone sculptures hiding in the bureau for several days. Today, Guan Zihe left the island to pick up the Duke of Argyle, and brought a lot of them. I came to see him with a pack of Xiao Shitou’s favorite snacks. After teasing him for a few times, I didn’t see any reaction from the stone sculpture. Only then did I realize that the stone sculpture had been stolen and replaced.”

"So we don't know the specific time when Xiao Shitou disappeared, right?"

"Yes," there was silence on the other side of the phone, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, you handed over your old friend's son to the Cultural Preservation Office, but I failed to protect him."

"Director Deng, there is no need to blame yourself. You and I both know that what happened to Xiao Shitou happened because of me," Qin Jian said, but his expression became more gloomy, "Are there no abnormalities in all the monitoring?"

"I don't know the specific time, but the scope of the investigation is relatively large, and we are still working hard." Deng Linchuan has obviously started to take action. "I have mobilized all manpower and material resources to recover the small stone safely."

"What about me? Since Director Deng is looking for me, he should have made arrangements for me."

"I hope you won't reveal this to He Si until you finish attending the dance here," Deng Linchuan said while explaining, "The sudden disappearance of the little stone may be related to the disappearance of your ability. That has repeatedly appeared in He Si Song Zhaoxuan in the illusion is an unavoidable obstacle, and his identity must be investigated clearly. As for He Si, I'm worried that this news will disturb her judgment and affect your actions. In addition, Fan Yu will also stay to assist you. "

"Fan Yu and He Si are both here with me. What about the little stone?"

"Doctor Guan is very worried and insists on staying to help. The Duke of Argyle has also offered to help. You should rest assured about their abilities," Deng Linchuan said tactfully, "But at the moment, all we can do is to look for clues from the surveillance. , As for the real reason for Xiao Shitou’s disappearance, I’m afraid it’s still on your side.”

"I understand. Surveillance may start from before and after I lose my ability. Contact me immediately if there are clues." Qin Jian hung up the phone as he spoke. A black car stopped steadily in front of him at this moment. A familiar board Cun's head poked out.

"Uncle Qin, what's going on? Director Deng suddenly gave me a position to come to you. It's mysterious."

Qin Jian got into the car, closed the door hard and said, "Little Shitou is missing."

"What!" The car that had just started stopped suddenly on the side of the road due to a brake. Fan Yu turned around, his expression even a little distorted, "The little stone is missing?"

His eyes widened, knowing that it was impossible, but he still looked at Qin Jian's expression again, trying to find a trace of mischief on Qin Jian's face, but of course it was in vain.

"Then what should we do now?" Fan Yu asked in suffocating silence.

"Over at Little Stone, Director Deng has arranged a large number of manpower to investigate and monitor. If there is an unknown force, Guan Zihe and the Duke of Argyle are also there. There is no mirror corridor. We just wasted time in the past. Director Deng and I think the same, I'm afraid it's still Just focus on the dance tomorrow.”

"Don't tell He Si?"

"Don't tell He Si." After Qin Jian finished speaking, he added, "Her vision of Song Zhaoxuan was different from other times. It was real but confusing. It seemed not to be a vision, but overlapping memories of several periods of her life. I'm worried that Xiao The stone incident will irritate her and affect her subsequent judgment."

"Okay, it's up to you." Fan Yu said, restarted the engine, and drove the car towards the designated hotel. The destination was clearly visible on the navigation screen, but his hand holding the steering wheel felt vague, as if he was driving the car. Drive towards the unknown with Qin Jian.

Fortunately, the next day was calm, and Qin Jian called He Si several more times. He said it was like three autumns after not seeing each other for one day, but actually it was to check He Si's safety, and He Si found nothing unusual. But I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, nothing happened, except He Si intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Song Zhaoxuan's dance partner, who was naturally Yuan Yuan who had drank milk tea with them.

The two people who were being monitored closely came together, which made the monitoring work a lot easier, which was a good thing.

Christmas Eve arrived amidst this tumultuous melancholy. Worried about being exposed, Qin Jianai, who was originally in a hurry to see He Si, lost his temper, waited around, and finally arrived downstairs at He Si's dormitory due to time constraints. Fan Yu, on the other hand, didn't show up at all. He went directly to the auditorium to dispatch control.

"Is it solved?" He Si came downstairs and saw Qin Jian standing under the street lamp. His black clothes melted into the night, making him look melancholy and full of worries.

Qin Jian looked at He Si, who was wearing the same black and gold tones as him, but she was shining brightly and walking towards him with lively anger. He knew that he had just been thinking about something, so he had to answer vaguely: "It's a difficult person." A troublesome guest."

"Who is it?" "Vampire."

"Another nonsense," He Si said and made a face at him, but Qin Jian looked serious and asked in disbelief, "Is he really a vampire?"

"Well, Dr. Guan's former patient." The last two sentences were true. Qin Jian finally recovered from the stiffness of being forced to lie just now. He Si was really relieved to see that he was in the same state.

"Then let's go to the auditorium now."

"Please." Qin Jian lowered his head slightly, smiled slightly, and saw He Si holding his hand.

The festival atmosphere on campus is very strong, and the long street leading to the auditorium is even more lively. The originally bare plane trees on both sides are covered with red and green lanterns. Under the lights are temporary stalls, and a row of tables connected end to end. , covered with Christmas-themed velvet, full of beautifully packaged small gifts - apples, cakes, bells, plush toys, and even students selling homemade coffee and mulled wine. Dizzying.

Qin Jian took two steps and was finally melted by the excitement. He hid the matter of the little stone in his heart and began to focus on the colorful things in front of him.

"German wine or coffee?" He Si stood in front of the stall and turned to Qin Jian with a smile, "Just make up for yesterday's instant noodles."

"Hot red bar, a little tipsy," before Qin Jian could answer, the dainty shopkeeper said first, pouring two glasses of dark red liquid and handing them to He Si, "I'll treat you."

"This……"

"Take it, you two are the most well-matched couple I have seen today," the shop owner said, winking playfully, "Have you not seen the new posts on the campus website yet?"

"What post?" He Si was constantly busy with cultural relics and projects. She really didn't have time to do anything extra, so she was a little curious for a moment.

"Who will the senior sister attend the prom with?" the shopkeeper said cheerfully, "I like you and this handsome guy, so can you take a photo with me?"

He Si did not answer immediately, but turned back to look at Qin Jian. Unexpectedly, he nodded and walked over directly. The two of them stood around the little shop owner, and even made a gesture of love in cooperation.

"You are handsome and nice, I will keep knocking you!" the shop owner said, and deliberately walked around He Si and made a cheering gesture towards Qin Jian, making the two of them laugh and cry.

"It seems that Ah Si is very popular on campus."

"Some are friendly and some are bad." He Si said casually.

"No one can be liked by everyone."

"I know, it's just a little strange," He Si shrugged, "Suddenly from being transparent to being in the spotlight."

"It's never been transparent, it's just you coming out on your own."

With the warm drink in their hands, Qin Jian and He Si stopped talking and walked to their destination side by side. A snow-making machine was unexpectedly placed on the second floor of the auditorium, and the swirling white colors filled the red and green sky. The two held hands and walked into the auditorium.

I don't know if it was He Si's misunderstanding. When the two of them entered the dance scene, the crowd seemed to pause for a moment. Unexplained eyes focused on her and Qin Jian, making her have the urge to turn around and run away.

But this time, the warm and dry hands holding her did not force her to move forward, but asked gently: "If it's too stuffy inside, let's go for a walk outside. They will always come out."

"It's okay." He Si came back to her senses and raised her neck like a swan. After more than ten years, she stepped into a grand dance again.

The crystal chandelier shines with dazzling light, shining on the gorgeous carpet, making the dancing men and women in costumes look elegant and moving. He Si couldn't dance, and neither could Qin Jian. Fortunately, Song Zhaoxuan wasn't on the dance floor either.

"Aren't you going to ask me what just happened?"

He Si took the initiative to mention her gaffe, but Qin Jian didn't care, and remained polite: "Mr. Jiang is fishing, and those who wish will take the bait."

"Smelly."

While talking, their eyes came to the area around the dance floor. Food and drinks were placed on the long table, and the air was filled with tempting aromas. Song Zhaoxuan and Yuan Yuan were standing in the southwest corner of the stage, tasting exquisite desserts.

Without them taking the initiative, Yuan Yuan had already waved his hand in this direction: "Hey, He Si, this way."

"Let's go." The two smiled at each other and walked over quickly.

Starting with "Long time no see", a meaningless greeting began.

The handsome Song Zhaoxuan and the sweet Yuan Yuan, like all the students around them, are not special, have no doubts, and have not caused any illusions. He Si even saw Fan Yu hiding behind the set board and winking at him, but she gained nothing.

The light spot of the crystal lamp was still spinning. He Si watched the two people walking away again. She suddenly turned towards the food table and said leisurely to Qin Jian: "When I was 10 years old, I also attended a dance, and it was with me." I went with my mother."

Qin Jian hugged the woman beside him, who seemed to be surrounded by stars, tighter and became a silent listener.

"Everyone's eyes were on me. I wanted to run away, to leave there, to return to the fields I was familiar with, but I was held tightly by a pair of hands. I couldn't leave because I was a bargaining chip and a mother. The last pawn to force that man’s palace.”

"The scene was really ugly. My mother had already fallen into madness at that time. People looked at us with disgust, but the eyes they looked at that man were full of sympathy. It seemed that my mother was the only one who made the mistake."

"So I can't leave. No matter how scared I am, I have to stay. There are so many people protecting that couple, and only I can protect my mother."

"But my mother still left. She said it was because I failed to win back that man's heart."

"Can the human heart be redeemed?"

Qin Jian did not interrupt her. When this chattering memory came to an end, he touched He Si's head: "Ah Si, I am not a human being. This can be a lesson."

He Si smiled. She had never heard someone say the words "I am not a human" so proudly. Qin Jian wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly he noticed a strange light flashing in her eyes.
