time is with you

Chapter 26 If I Wait For You (5)
This man usually doesn't talk much, but such words that can make her blush easily, Mei Ran pinched the corner of the quilt, her heart was flustered and swollen, like boiling a pot of boiling water.

I don't know how long it took, Mei Ran lay on the bed and fell asleep. She felt that the bed next to her was sinking. She opened her eyes and met the enlarged handsome face of the man. Can't react.

There was some confusion and innocence in her slightly opened black eyes, like a child, Fu Shijin couldn't help but find it funny, touched her forehead, and said softly, "I have a lot of time to watch in the future, so sleep now, huh? "

He lay down and took her into his arms.

After Mei Ran was teased by him, her drowsiness disappeared immediately. She put her arms around his arm and asked softly, "Why have you been away for so long?"

Fu Shijin's whole body froze again, and she took a few deep breaths to calm down, but she didn't get a response, and she entangled her even tighter.

"Don't tease her anymore," he bit her earlobe and threatened in a low voice, "Otherwise, I won't give you another chance to escape."

There will be no next time.

Mei Ran understood, she nodded, and buried herself in his chest with a muffled "giggle" laugh.

It rained all night, and it didn't stop until dawn. Mei Ran felt something strange, and slowly opened her eyes. In the gradually clear vision...

"woke up?"

The man's fair and handsome face was actually tinged with a blush, and there was still a gleam of water around his lips.Mei Ran looked down, and the plum blossom tattoo seemed to have been soaked in a drizzle.

On this early autumn morning, she seemed to feel the heat of midsummer rising from the soles of her feet and quickly covering her whole body.

"Ran Ran, you are so beautiful."

Fu Shijin really loved the red plum growing out of the white snow. He had vaguely seen a few wisps of red plum before, and thought it was some part of the red lace—he still remembered her year of birth, and even more so at that time. The pleasing scenery that I have seen, I will never forget it.

Unexpectedly, there was such a big surprise hidden in it, he couldn't help but kissed again, the red plum tree seemed to be swaying with the wind, looking charming and enchanting.

It was almost nine o'clock when the two got up. After breakfast, Fu Shijin's assistant brought over the dresses for the two of them. What he prepared for Mei Ran was a long white dress with slanted shoulders.

The autumn auction will start at three o'clock in the afternoon, and there is plenty of time. Mei Ran took a slow shower, and after coming out, she sat on the edge of the bed and gently blow-dried her long hair.

Fu Shijin took advantage of this gap to enter the bathroom, and after a while, the sound of water "crashed".

After Mei Ran finished blowing her hair, she picked up her phone and wanted to check the time. Just as she swiped open the screen, several private messages from the same Weibo name popped up:
Evening Breeze: Think about it, the person I met in Hong Kong today is you, right?
Night Breeze: It must be you! ?Who else can be by my male god's side besides you?

Night Breeze: Please tell me!Otherwise, I will definitely scratch my liver and lungs, and I won't be able to sleep for three days and three nights!Please please!
Mei Ran couldn't help laughing, and she replied a message unhurriedly: "I'm sorry for stepping on your foot."

There was a reply almost immediately: "Ahhh! I knew it was you!"

"I regret not being stepped on by you a few more times! Woohoo, you and my male god look so compatible, I cry with envy!"

Mei Ran patiently read each item, and after a while, the bathroom door opened, and the word "Thank you" she had just typed between her fingers suddenly slipped out as if startled.

The man had already walked over. He was only wearing a bathrobe, revealing most of his chest. His freshly washed hair was still a little wet, and it was wet on his forehead. He squatted down in front of her, his deep eyes were clear. , with a gentle voice, "Ran Ran, blow my hair for me."

Mei Ran held back her random glances, coughed lightly to cover up, picked up the hair dryer and started blowing.

His hair is moderately soft and hard, and feels very good to the touch. Her fair fingers shuttled through his hair. Against the backdrop of black and white, there was an indescribably ambiguous feeling.

The soft fingertips caressed her scalp with just the right amount of force, and the hair dryer sprayed the warm fragrance from her body to the tip of her nose. Fu Shijin closed her eyes comfortably, enjoying this rare moment.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was one o'clock in the afternoon. Mei Ran came out after changing clothes in the cloakroom. Fu Shijin was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and talking on the phone when he heard footsteps, and his eyes suddenly stopped.

After a long time without hearing a response, he asked hesitantly, "Mr. Fu?"

"I'll ask my assistant to talk to you about the details."

Fu Shijin hung up the phone and strode towards the person not far away.

Mei Ran looked at him, "Does it look good?"

"It's so beautiful." He inspected every inch of her body, and then lifted the fabric on her chest, "I seem to see a fairy descending from the world."

"How can it be so exaggerated?"

Fu Shijin pinned a blue enchantress to her shoulder, and stroked that spot with warm fingertips, his voice was low and hoarse, "Believe me, I have the best vision no matter what it is."

Sure enough, upon entering the venue, many amazed gazes, some from men and some from women, gathered over. Mei Ran held the hand of the man next to her and greeted them generously.

As Mei Hongyuan's daughter, although she usually doesn't like to socialize, she is not yet stage frightened on such occasions.

After waiting for everyone, the host announced the start of the auction, and the first lot of each year was undoubtedly won by Fu Shijin.

This is the usual practice.

Mei Ran remembered that it was mentioned in the report that his grandfather, Mr. Fu, was an important promoter of Sotheby’s, Christie’s and other major auction companies in the mainland and Hong Kong, and he himself inherited the legacy of the old man. A lot of effort has been made on the return of cultural relics.

What she read at that time was only a few hundred words, which was far less intense than the on-site impression. Judging from the respect those people had for him, in this field, he could almost be regarded as a figure standing at the top.

The shock in her heart came wave after wave, and the spontaneous pride and the fact that this person was her own made Mei Ran extremely excited.

She wants to be a better person to match him.

"What's wrong?" Seemingly aware of her emotions, Fu Shijin shook her hand, "Don't be nervous."

Mei Ran nodded, and looked through the catalog of the lot. It turned out that the next lot was the "White Jade Ice Silkworm" she was looking for, which was the real purpose of her trip.

"This is the work of Zheng Yimin, a master of jade carving in the Ming Dynasty...the starting price is 200 million..."

Soon someone raised the number plate, and others raised it one after another, and it was quickly added to 400 million.

Mei Ran looked at the number plate he handed over, and blinked suspiciously. He had already seen through her mind, and leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Come here."

"why?"

Fu Shijin smiled, "If I join the bidding, the final transaction price of this lot will be much higher than the pre-sale price."

Mei Ran understood immediately.

That's right, this person is the weather vane in the field. If he sells it himself, those people will think it is such a rare treasure. It is a miracle that the price does not go up.

She saw that this "white jade ice silkworm" had a long history.

Mr. Yu's ancestors made a fortune in the silk business, and he is now a leading tailor in Binnan.However, he has a quirk. He doesn't make ordinary cheongsams, but only makes red wedding dresses. In the past, any bride could wear the red dress he cut himself, and it would spread to every corner of Binnan. It's a matter of face.

However, due to his old age, he handed over the business to his son, and he never cut wedding dresses these years.Even so, Mei Ran knew that the old man still deeply loved the silk that he had been obsessed with for most of his life.

Therefore, this "white jade ice silkworm" has a unique meaning to him.

The host on the stage has already started counting down, "One time for 600 million, two times for 600 million..."

Mei Ran slowly raised the sign.

"... 620 million three times, deal!"

Her heart relaxed, and she looked at the man next to her, with a hint of complacency in her eyes, as if she was inviting him to praise him.

Fu Shijin scratched her palm a few times, like a feather brushing lightly, bringing an inexplicable numbness.

This is the special home of this autumn auction, so the more expensive the auction is, but Fu Shijin seems to lack interest in it. Apart from accompanying Mei Ran, his trip is just to go to the scene to win the first auction.

The auction continued, and the host began to introduce, "The next treasure is the master..."

"Are you interested in this?" Mei Ran asked.

"Not before last night." Fu Shijin looked at her sideways, with a smile on his lips, "But now, there is."

Mei Ran looked blankly at the stage, her face became hot again in an instant.

It turned out that what was being auctioned was a "tea crystal plum flower vase", so the deep meaning in this man's words was also revealed. He was interested in this vase purely because of the red plum tattoo on her chest.

She cleared her throat, "Then... I'm the one to come this time?"

But he shook his head, "No, I'll come." His tone paused, "I'm definitely going to get it."

Currently, the highest price in the audience is 2000 million, and only a few people are raising signs. Obviously, most people are not very interested in this treasure. However, when a sign in the corner is raised, the situation is instantly reversed. .

Many people have lowered their voices to discuss:

"Isn't that Fu Shijin?"

"That's right! He has already joined the auction, so it's possible that this 'plum blossom arrangement'..."

"Who is Fu Shijin? He's notoriously picky, and what he likes can be wrong? Listen to me, follow me quickly, you're sure to be right!"

Like a bomb dropped in the water, the auction was pushed to the climax, and the price of the lot also rose, heading towards an extremely "ridiculous" price. In the end, there were only two fierce battles left.

The number plates of the two sides were raised again and again, and dropped again and again after the contest...

The host's voice began to tremble, "Ninety-nine million one time... ninety-nine million three times, deal!"

God!He witnessed the most miraculous moment in his auction career. A lot was sold at a price dozens of times higher than the reserve price, which almost broke the record again!
"I don't even look at who it is, how can I win? That's the famous owner of Mingpinzhai, Fu Shijin, a well-known antique collector..."

Mei Mengran, who was sitting in the corner of the last row, was dealing with the salty pig's hand stretched out next to her with all her heart. When she heard the discussion of the people around her, she immediately stretched her neck and looked forward, waiting to see the two people clearly. His gaze instantly became freezing cold.

Isn't the woman in the slanted white dress Mei Ran?

The man sitting next to her... was actually Fu Shijin? !
How did they end up together? !
What did she say, he smiled so tenderly and rubbed her hair?

Mei Mengran watched them being intimate like no one else, her eyes almost popped out.

"Is the transaction price too high?"

Although antiques are priceless and may have a great potential for appreciation in the future, such a plum blossom vase, which can barely be called a "rare treasure", won such a price, which really made her a little...

Fu Shijin smiled and rubbed her hair.

Applause erupted from all around, Mei Ran didn't hear what he said clearly, so she couldn't help leaning over, he also accommodated her and leaned towards her, their breaths intertwined.

"Good value for money."
