Chapter 156: I Am Always the Most Important

It was another overcast and rainy day.

Shen Ci accompanied Tang Song to an antique shop called "Hidden in the City".

"Yo, you're here!"

As soon as they entered the shop, the shop owner sitting on the rosewood chair saw Tang Song and greeted him enthusiastically.

Tang Song held Shen Ci's hand, put the folded umbrella into the bamboo basket at the door, and said: "It's raining and foggy, so the car drove a bit slowly."

The shop owner said "It's okay" while casting his gaze on the hands held by Tang Song and Shen Ci, then raised his eyebrows slightly without a trace.

So he has a girlfriend?

"Let me see the things first," Tang Song said.

The shop owner nodded and turned to the back hall of the shop.

Shen Ci walked around the small shop curiously.

She hadn't been to an antique shop before. This one didn't look like anything special. Some messy objects were piled on some tables, beads were wrapped around teapots, and calligraphy and paintings were inserted into bronze tripods. You couldn't tell which one was valuable.

They didn't look valuable at all.

There were also things placed neatly, but Shen Ci didn't know these and couldn't see the way.

Tang Song followed beside her and reminded her in a low voice with a smile: "Don't look, the things you see now are not good things. You will see good things soon."

Shen Ci nodded and sat down on the rosewood sofa with Tang Song.

Not long after, the shop owner came out carefully holding an exquisite box: "Take a look, handle with care."

Tang Song opened the box. Inside was a very particular tea set, a teapot and four tea cups, and some strange tools that Shen Ci didn't know what they were for.

The shop owner explained: "This is 'Qinghong Sand'. The object is from the 'Great Yuan Dynasty'. This teapot looks cyan now, but it will turn red when it meets heat, because it is fired with a special kind of sand. This craft is also a famous skill of the 'Great Yuan Dynasty'. There is technology that can imitate it now, but those who know the goods can distinguish the true from the false at a glance. You are an expert, so I won't explain more."

Tang Song picked it up and examined it for a while, then nodded gently.

The object had been around for years, so it was definitely not perfect, but this was also the "moving" part of antiques. Isn't a flaw also a kind of beauty?

Most importantly, the old man must like it.

"200!" Tang Song said slowly, starting to bargain.

The shop owner showed an expression of "you again" and shook his head: "Didn't we agree on 220? Let me earn something!"

"You earn enough with 200. I'm not in a hurry, you consider it."

The owner curled his lip helplessly. Did he dare say no?

But Tang Song was right. He earned something with 200. He deliberately set the initial price high because he knew Tang Song would bargain.

"Okay, this is the first time you brought your girlfriend, so I'll take it as a congratulation to you." The shop owner knew how to talk.

Shen Ci also laughed upon hearing this and thanked the owner on behalf of Tang Song: "Then thank you, boss."

Back in the car, Tang Song put the things away carefully before looking at Shen Ci and asking: "Baby, you really won't go with me?"

Shen Ci looked at his handsome face, raised her hand to touch his chin, and nodded: "This is a big event for your family. Your grandfather's birthday must be very grand. It's not appropriate for me to go. I'm dating you and don't want to have too many complicated interpersonal relationships out of thin air. I just want to be your girlfriend."

Tang Song looked at her, full of tenderness and love.

"Your little brain thinks differently from others." As he spoke, he couldn't wait to lean over and kiss her.

Another long, lingering wet kiss.

Then Tang Song held Shen Ci's face and said seriously: "I respect your idea. Then I'll send you back to school first?"

Shen Ci nodded.

On the way back to school, Shen Ci asked casually: "You are very good at antiques. The boss just said you are an expert."

Tang Song glanced at Shen Ci with a smile in his eyes and explained: "My grandfather is the expert. It's just that I have seen many good things since I was a child, so I have some vision, and basically I won't make mistakes when looking at things."

Shen Ci understood and said: "Then your grandfather will definitely like this tea set."

"I hope so. This tea set is very rare. I just hope he can be happy, and then he can get me back to the criminal police team."

This is what Tang Song really cares about.

"But if I really return to the criminal police team one day, I will definitely be busier than now, and it will be harder for us to meet often." Tang Song said, looking at Shen Ci cautiously, observing her reaction.

"Do what you want to do. Never put me first and wrong yourself. I can't afford such a heavy responsibility," Shen Ci looked back at him and said directly: "Because I am the same. In my heart, I am always the most important."

Tang Song wanted to speak but stopped, but there was uncontrollable appreciation and joy in his eyes.

His baby, why can she be so transparent and frank, and not stingy to express it at all.

How she thinks, she can say it bluntly, completely consistent inside and out, making the relationship between each other easy and pleasant, and never suspecting each other.

For a while, his mood was suddenly relaxed, because he really cared about Shen Ci's reaction. He was afraid that Shen Ci would be worried and unhappy after he said this, but she didn't.

It was he who worried too much.

At the main entrance of the school, the car stopped slowly by the side of the road, and the rain outside just stopped.

"Wish your grandfather happiness as the East Sea."

Before getting out of the car, Shen Ci said playfully and took the initiative to hook Tang Song's head and kiss him.

Tang Song's hands became restless with excitement. Shen Ci pushed him away at the right time: "I'm leaving!"

Before Tang Song could speak, she pushed the door and jumped out of the car and ran into the gate without looking back. Tang Song watched her until her back disappeared before taking back his gaze.

After adjusting his mood for a while, he restarted the car.

In a forest villa hidden in the mountains halfway up the northern suburbs of Longcheng, many big figures in Longcheng gathered today.

It was the 66th birthday of Tang's grandfather. As long as they received an invitation, they had to give him some face.

Tang Song arrived when it was lively. He carried the gift and went straight to the main villa. After entering the door, he saw his grandfather being surrounded by old friends and talking and laughing. He raised a smile on his face and stepped forward quickly: "Grandpa, happy birthday!"

When Tang's grandfather saw his grandson arrive, the smile on his face became three points brighter. He quickly reached out and greeted: "Big grandson, you came just right. We were just talking about the younger generation. Your Grandpa Zhu's granddaughter is also here. She is about the same age as you. Come and meet her."

As soon as the words fell, he saw a girl with exquisite makeup standing out among a group of old people. The other party was attracted by his upright spirit and handsome appearance the moment she saw Tang Song, and she lowered her head shyly.
