the knife of love

Chapter 9 Expert, give her a jade token
As we all know, Tengchong used to be Myanmar, and Myanmar is the hometown of jadeite. 90% of the world’s jade raw materials come from Myanmar’s jade mines. Tengchong is located on the border between China and Myanmar, and it has easily become the largest jadeite distribution center in the southwest.

The Tengchong Jade Ware Market is a mixed bag, ranging from chain stores to small carpet shacks.

The stalls were even more chaotic, grabbing customers casually, Guan Lue and Tang Jingcheng were entangled by a tough female stall owner as soon as they entered.

"Young man, let's buy something for your girlfriend. Seeing how juicy your girlfriend is, Dai Yu is just right." When he was speaking, the stall owner's eyes were fixed on Tang Jingcheng, and Tang Jingcheng didn't say a word.

Guan Lue responded, "Do you have any bracelets?"

"Yes!" The stall owner pulled him to the front of his stall, and pulled out a few bracelets, "They are all good things that just arrived. Take a look, the price is absolutely fair."

Guan Lue chose a green and green round bracelet, which looked good.

"how much is it?"

"This one, boss, you have a good eye. This is the best quality of the batch, and it is also the most expensive." The stall owner said with a smile, and carefully put the bracelet back into the box: "How about it, Jade There is aura, since sir likes to explain that he is also a predestined person, this number is for you!"

The stall owner stretched out five fingers.

"Pfft-" Tang Jingcheng laughed out loud.

The stall owner was a little confused, so he said, "Miss, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you talking nonsense with your eyes open! Eldest sister, your crystal is cloudy and of average size. How dare you ask for five fingers?"

The stall owner's face changed suddenly, Tang Jingcheng walked slowly to the front of the stall, opened all the bracelet boxes, and finally turned around and asked Guan Lue: "Who do you want to buy for?"

Guan Lue replied: "Friend!"

"girlfriend?"

"..." Guan slightly didn't make a sound.

Tang Jingcheng snorted and stopped asking, just said: "How old is the other party?"

"Two years older than you."

"Do you know how old I am?"

"26 seven."

"..." Tang Jingcheng was speechless, turned around and picked out another bracelet from the box. It was made of ice, and the jade was crystal clear and shiny in the sun, which made her eyes shine.

For no reason, Guan Lue felt that Tang Jingcheng's eyes on Yuyu were the brightest.

"This one, this one is more suitable for young girls, old pit, the crystal is delicate, but the price may be a little more expensive for you!"

She put the bracelet back into the box and asked the stall owner, "Sister, four fingers, do you want to sell it or not!"

After speaking, the stall owner already knew that the woman in front of him could not be fooled, so he scratched his head and said nothing.

Guan Lue simply took the box and took out his bank card: "Just this one, just swipe it."

The stall owner held his mouth shut, and swiped his card despite the pain for a long time.

When Guan Lue signed the form, she glanced at Tang Jingcheng. She was leaning against the metal pillar paving the way. The shining eyes when she looked at the jade bracelet just now had disappeared, and her eyes regained their usual confusion.

"In order to thank you for choosing the bracelet for me, you can choose the same one, and I will give it to you."

"Really?" Tang Jingcheng was obviously surprised, and immediately stood up straight.

Guan Lue could feel the joy in her eyes, and smiled with her lips curled up: "Really, but you have to pick something within two hundred!"

"Small gadget!" The light in her eyes faded again, but she still picked out a small gadget from the booth, a small square jade tablet, semi-finished, and of poor quality, but Tang Jingcheng immediately fell in love with it.

The stall owner probably also felt that this item could not be sold at a good price, so he sold it to Tang Jingcheng for a low price of [-].

Of course, Guan slightly paid the money.

On the way back, Guan Lue teased her: "That's right, I'm still an expert!"

Tang Jingcheng sneered, and put the jade badge into the pocket of his jacket: "Well, I'm a jade carver."

She only said half of what she said, she did take jade carving as her profession, but strictly speaking she was modest.

But who in the industry doesn't know Tang Jingcheng?At a young age, she is already a national first-class jade carving artist, the youngest jade carving artist in the industry. She was born in a scholarly family. Her father Tang Ji is a professor at the School of History and the curator of Yunling Museum. Her works, large and small, have been shown internationally several times In addition to winning the award, she has another identity - the proud student of Qiu Qiguan, a world-class jade carving master, and his fiancee.

But maybe she won't be able to use this fiancee status in the future.

Tang Jingcheng took a breath, suddenly felt chest tightness, and quickly put aside the topic: "You are not bad, you are willing to spend [-] oceans to buy a bracelet as a gift, the other party should be very important to you, right?" The meaning of her words is I feel that [-] is already a big sum for Guan Lue.

Guan slightly settled down.

"Yes, it's very important!" The tone was very firm, as if he was deliberately emphasizing a very important thing to Tang Jingcheng.

The next day, the two returned to Yunling.

She first took the bus from Tengchong to Kunming, and then took the train back to Yunling from Kunming. Before buying the train ticket, she had to go to the station police window to get her a temporary identity certificate. Guan Lue led her to do these things.

The Tang family was well-off, and Tang Jingcheng always opened his mouth and stretched out his hands when he came to dinner. Later, he studied under Qiu Qiguan, and he pampered her like a child. Naturally, she developed a bad habit of almost zero self-care ability.

"Let's go." After completing the certificate, Guan Yue went to the ticket office to buy a ticket, but when he turned around, he saw Tang Jingcheng standing in front of KFC.

In the years that followed, no matter how many love-hate entanglements he had with this woman, he always remembered the scene of her standing alone in front of KFC at Kunming Railway Station that night.

At that time, it was around ten o'clock at night, the wind was very strong, and the crowds in the square were gradually thinning out. Tang Jingcheng was wearing his black jacket and stood by the light at the entrance of KFC.

"Can you buy me a hamburger?" It was rare for her to speak to him in this pleading interrogative sentence, with those helpless eyes like a deer.

Guan Lue's heart beat violently, and it was the first time that he had a premonition that he should be careful about this woman in the future.

"The smell of meat is so delicious, I never had a good meal in Tengchong." She repeated pitifully, for some reason she just felt that this man would obey her.

Sure enough, she succeeded.

"Wait for me at the door!" Guan Lue entered the KFC, and there were quite a lot of people in line. He turned around and glanced at Tang Jingcheng at the door. Tang Jingcheng just stood obediently, standing straight, like a child waiting for dinner smile at him.

Tang Jingcheng is so pretty when he smiles, his brows are curved, and his tough temper is gone.

A few minutes later, Guan Lue came back with KFC.

Tang Jing and Cheng Xing hurriedly opened the bag, there were hamburgers, chicken wings, and hot coffee inside.

"Buy so much!" She couldn't wait to pinch a piece of chicken wing and stuff it into her mouth.

Guan Lue patted her hand off: "I'll eat later, buy the ticket first."

"Okay!" She pretended to answer, but turned around and stuffed the chicken wing into her mouth.

The two queued up at the ticket office for half an hour, bought two express sleepers back to Yunling, and left in the early morning, and still had to wait for two hours.

There were a lot of people in the waiting room, and the smell was smoky, and it was really unpleasant to mix all kinds of smells together.

As soon as Tang Jingcheng entered, she felt stuffy in her heart and evil in her stomach, but she had to endure it, secretly took two tranquilizing pills with mineral water, and leaned on the chair to force herself to sleep for a while.

He saw all these strategies in his eyes, and he knew that Tang Jingcheng had no medicine for the past few days, and in addition, he would have to take a long-distance train for more than 30 hours, which should be considered a torment for her.

Before getting on the bus, Guan Lue relented and went to the 24-hour convenience store next to the waiting room to buy some things. When he came back with a plastic bag, he found that Tang Jingcheng had disappeared.
