BXBX NOVEL Chapter 320: 320, Wanwan: You can’t judge a book by its cover
“Really?” Mo Weiyi clearly didn’t believe it, his smile gradually turning into a smirk, “Are you doing homework or something else?”
“Doing! Homework!” Su Wanwan replied between gritted teeth.
But her voice was kept low.
After all, they were at a cafeteria with other students around. She isn’t as carefree as Mo Weiyi.
Mo Weiyi also lowered his voice, but with a suggestive tone, “Then you should start your homework earlier at night. Once you’re done, you can go to bed.”
Su Wanwan:
This dude is definitely doing this on purpose!
Mo Weiyi chuckled, “Let’s go shopping after we eat, I want to buy a gift for Xiaobai.”
“Buying him a gift again?” Su Wanwan was amazed, “What’s the occasion this time?”
“It’s notan occasion, it’s Xiaobai’s birthday, November 20.” Mo Weiyi said confidently.
Su Wanwan was dumbfounded, “But I’m very tired.”
“Sleep in the car later.” Mo Weiyi started to act pitiful, “If you don’t come with me, I’ll have to shop by myself. It’s so boring, lonely, and solitary to shop alone, Baby Wanwan, will you come with me? Please….”
Su Wanwan: “…”
He knew she was soft-hearted, yet he always acted cute.
“Baby Wanwan, Baby Wanwan, please Baby Wanwan…”
“Alright, alright.” Su Wanwan finally interrupted impatiently, “Decidewhat to buy first, get in and get it quickly, don’t waste too much of my time.”
“OK!”
**
Having said that, as soon as they arrived at the shopping mall, Mo Weiyi started to have second thoughts. “Wanwan, I originally wanted to buy glasses for Xiaobai, but I think he looks better without them. So what should I buy for him?”
“Buy a Supreme Treasure skin.”
“What?”
“Nothing.” She forgot that Mo Weiyi didn’t play video games, and wouldn’t know about the recently re-released Sun Wukong ‘Journey to the West’ edition Supreme Treasure skin in Honor of Kings.
“I know, let’s buy a fountain pen. Xiaobai has to sign documents every day at work. That way, he’ll think of me whenever he uses it.”
After the pleasant decision, they headed over to Nancheng’s 998 Art District
After picking out a fountain pen, Su Wanwan thought it was over, but Mo Weiyi pulled her into a stationery store.
“Xiaobai’s calligraphy is quite good, so let’s buy him a set of the four treasures of the study.”
Su Wanwan:
Although both of them didn’t understand much about these things, once Mo Weiyi started selecting items in the store based on the shopkeeper’s introduction, Su Wanwan began to wander around.
Then, she saw a picture hanging on the wall.
The picture was of a peony, it was remarkably lifelike. The rich and exuberant colors seemed almost like they would seep out.
The price was over a million dollars.
Su Wanwan suddenly held the painting in high esteem. She stared at the signature on the painting. The name was written in seal script, and despite a careful examination, she couldn’t decipher it, until Mo Weiyi’s voice came from beside her.
“Catching a toad to shit? What on earth could that mean?”
Su Wanwan burst into laughter.
Mo Weiyi tilted his pretty face, “You’re laughing at me, but can you tell me what these characters mean?”
Next to the traditional ink painting was a sheet of paper with seal script handwriting. At first glance, it really looked like what Mo Weiyi had said…
“Abright future lies ahead, just forge ahead.”
A familiar female voice suddenly rang out.
Seeing the visitors, Mo Weiyi’s cheeks turned scarlet, “Grandpa Chu, Sister Jingyi.”
Old Master Chu looked at the two young girls with a twinkle in his eyes, “This is seal script, it’s normal that you don’t know it. Are you here to buy something?”
The old gentleman was wearing a black robe and a small felt hat, an embodiment of scholarly elegance. But on his left wrist was a luxury watch worth over a million dollars, emitting a dazzling sheen, almost blinding to the eyes.
Mo Weiyi could hardly bear to look directly at the watch…
Chu Jingyi, who was following him, was dramatically alluring. The weather was cooling down, and she was wearing a dark purple woolen suit over a black mermaid skirt. Her makeup was exquisite, and her smile was captivating.
“I want to buy the four treasures of study for my husband.” Mo Weiyi said, “I’ve been looking for half a day and I don’t know what to buy.”
“Really? Let me help you.”
“That’s great.” With the assistance of Grandpa Chu, she was sure to choose something good.
The two people quickly went to make their selection, while Chu Jingyi started chatting with a smile, “I never thought that young girls in their twenties like you would want to gift calligraphy supplies.”
Su Wanwan pursed her lips and didn’t respond, instead looking at the painting on the wall again.
Then she heard Chu Jingyi speaking again, “Do you like this peony painting?”
How annoying, thought Su Wanwan.
It was annoying enough to have bumped into Chu Jingyi in this store, and now she just wouldn’t stop talking. Were they supposed to be friends or something?
Su Wanwan deliberately displayed a cold demeanor, hoping Chu Jingyi would realize she just wasn’t interested in having a conversation.
But then.
“If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”
Su Wanwan was immediately furious. She spun around, “No need! If I want something, I’ll buy it myself!”
Chu Jingyi maintained her aloof and leisurely smile, “I copied this painting when I was twenty. I didn’t expect it to become so valuable later on. But no matter how high the price is, it’s just a painting in my eyes. It should be appreciated by someone who understands its value. You seem to like it a lot, and you are Jingshen’s wife. Our families have known each other for generations, what’s wrong with giving you a painting?”
