"Is this thing really worth that much? I think it's about the same as those things sold in Baiyun Taoist Temple with scribbles on them. How much is that finished product worth? Yours is still blank, yet it's already so expensive. How can you say you're not being cheated? "Chen Xichen picked up a dozen yellow joss papers and curled her lips.
"You don't understand these things. I can tell you with certainty that the ones sold in Baiyun Taoist Temple are definitely not as good as the blank ones I bought," Sei Itō took the yellow joss papers from Chen Xichen's hands and put them back into the box. He then closed the lid and laughed.
"But why did you buy these? I remember that these things are only used when people are involved in feudal superstitions. Don't tell me you want those? " Chen Xichen looked at the closed box and curled her lips. "Let me tell you, these things are strictly prohibited in Beijing. If something happens, don't blame me for not warning you."
"Don't worry." Sei Itō laughed. "Have you forgotten what my family does?"
"Open shrines." Chen Xichen thought for a moment and immediately answered. Then, she said with a look of realization, "Oh, so you're buying these for your family. Is it just that they don't sell it in Japan? "
"There are, but the quality is not as good as the ones here." Sei Itō laughed.
"Oh." Chen Xichen replied with a look of understanding.
At this time, Master Bai, who had gone out to transfer the money, came back and handed the bank card and receipt back to Sei Itō.
Sei Itō took the things and put the bank card into his pocket. He took the ballpoint pen from the pen holder on the table and bent over to sign his name on the receipt.
Then, Sei Itō handed the receipt back to Master Bai and reached for the box on the table. He smiled and said to Master Bai, "Then, we'll take our leave."
"Okay." Master Bai smiled and said.
Then, Master Bai walked Sei Itō and Chen Xichen to the front room and out of the door of Fragrant Book House. Only then did he return to the house and continue his carefree life.
"Let's go back to my hotel first. Then, we'll go buy some things to your house." Sei Itō said to Chen Xichen as he walked slowly out of Liulichang.
"Didn't you always refuse to enter my house?" Chen Xichen asked, looking at him in surprise.
"That was in the past. Now that I have finished my business in Beijing, I have to visit your house before I leave.. this is etiquette." Sei Itō explained with a smile.
"Oh....." Chen Xichen, when she heard that Sei Itō was leaving.
Although this cousin of Ito Sei's came out of nowhere, he was really nice to her in the past five days. Not to mention that she was saved at the bar that day. Chen Xichen accepted this cousin of hers very well. Now that she suddenly heard that he was going to leave, it was reasonable for her to be a little depressed.
Then, the two left Liulichang Street in silence and took a taxi back to Beijing Hotel. Sei Itō returned to his room and put the yellow joss paper and cinnabar he bought into the Rubik's Cube world. Then, he walked out of the room empty-handed and met up with Chen Xichen, who was waiting in front of the elevator. They took the elevator back to the lobby and left Beijing Hotel together.
Then Ito Sei stopped a taxi again and went to Wangfujing Street not far away.
When they arrived there, Ito Sei brought Chen Xichen into a large shopping mall. They strolled around there, preparing to buy some things as a parting gift for Chen Xichen.
"Let's look at jewelry first." Sei Itō said to Chen Xichen when they arrived at the jewelry shop on the second floor of the shopping mall.
Chen Xichen had no objections to this request. She followed Sei Itō and browsed at the counter. Of course, the salespeople here were all professionally trained. Naturally, they wouldn't look down on people like the attendants in some small shopping malls in small cities. All of them introduced the specialties of the products to Ito Sei with a smile on their faces. Rubik's Cube World.
"Take this bracelet out for me to see." Sei Itō pointed at a platinum floral bracelet at a counter and said to the salesperson.
"Yes, sir." The salesperson said politely. Then, she reached into the counter and took out the bracelet and placed it in front of Sei Itō.
"Xichen, put it on for me to see." Sei Itō said to Chen Xichen.
"Me?" Chen Xichen was stunned. Then, she quickly understood Sei Itō's intention. She quickly shook her head and said, "No, if I bring it back, mom will definitely scold me."
"It's okay. Don't worry about your mom. If she scolds you, just push the blame to me. Your mom won't say anything then," Sei Itō held Chen Xichen's hand and put the bracelet on her wrist as he smiled.
"Not bad. I'll take this one." Sei Itō looked at Chen Xichen who was wearing the bracelet and smiled with satisfaction. Then, he turned to the salesperson and asked, "How much is it?"
"Sir, you have good taste. This bracelet suits this lady very well." The salesperson's smile immediately became more sincere than before. She first praised Sei Itō and then said, "This bracelet is made of 18k pure platinum. It's worth $8,480."
"Give me the invoice." Itsunari didn't bargain and said directly like a rich man.
"It's too expensive." Chen Xichen stopped the salesperson who was about to give out the invoice and said to Sei Itō.
"Go ahead." Sei Itō sent the salesperson away first. Then, he turned to Chen Xichen and said with a smile, "Take it. Treat it as a greeting gift from me as your brother."
Chen Xichen frowned. After hesitating for a while, she finally agreed.
Soon, the salesperson came back with the invoice. Sei Itō immediately passed his bank card to her and let her complete the payment and return the invoice.
"Let's go and take a look at the women's department upstairs." Ito Sei took the jewelry bag and smiled at Chen Xichen.
Then, the two of them took the escalator to the women's department on the fifth floor. There, Sei Itō bought two sets of clothes for Chen Xichen and her mother, Liu Xiaohua. Then, he carried the shopping bags back to the lobby on the first floor. There, he bought two bottles of Maotai, two soft packs of Zhonghua, a box of Codonopsis pilosula and some other miscellaneous things. Then, he took the car back to Chen Xichen's home.
"Grandpa." Chen Xichen walked into the house and greeted Chen Xingqing who was sitting on the sofa and watching a TV series.
"Xichen is back. Hey, Xicheng is here too." Chen Xingqing said to Chen Xichen first. When he saw Sei Itō, he immediately said happily.
"Hello." Sei Itō greeted him as usual.
"Hey," Hearing Sei Itō's greeting, Chen Xingqing's expression changed slightly. He sighed softly and said nothing. Then, he looked at the things Sei Itō and Chen Xichen were carrying and frowned. "Why did you buy so many things again?"
"It's like this. I've finished my business in Beijing and will be leaving tomorrow. I bought these things as parting gifts for you, Xichen, and Xichen's parents," Sei Itō explained. As for Chen Yongxia's gift, sorry, other than meeting her once, the two of them really didn't have much interaction. How could he give it to her? As for Chen Xichen's parents, it was because they had a good daughter, Chen Xichen. Moreover, Liu Xiaohua was a kind person. In addition, the old man lived here, so he couldn't go empty-handed. So, he conveniently brought Chen Yongli's gift as well …
"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Hearing Sei Itō's words, the old man didn't care how Sei Itō addressed everyone except Chen Xichen. He was just frowning and thinking about Sei Itō's departure.
"Yes," Sei Itō said with certainty.
"Sigh." Chen Xingqing, who knew that things couldn't be changed, sighed again. He sat back on the sofa in silence and watched a TV series in boredom. Rubik's Cube World 543
Seeing this, Sei Itō didn't say anything. He just helped Chen Xichen carry her things back into the house. Then, he returned to the living room and sat on the sofa with Chen Xingqing to watch TV in silence until Liu Xiaohua, who had gotten off work, and Chen Yongli, who didn't have any social engagements, came back.
"Xicheng, you're here." Seeing Sei Itō sitting in the room, Liu Xiaohua, who was carrying vegetables, immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Hello," Sei Itō stood up and greeted her.
"It's fine if you're here. Why did you buy so many things again?" Liu Xiaohua complained when she saw the things on the table.
Seeing this, Sei Itō could only smile and explain his departure to Liu Xiaohua and Chen Yongli, who had been sitting there in silence and watching him talk to Liu Xiaohua. Then, he gave out the things he bought for them.
"Thank you." Chen Yongli looked at the things given to him, his wife, and his grandpa. He also didn't refuse the bracelet that his daughter took out and nodded.
"Thank you for spending so much money, Xicheng," Liu Xiaohua looked at the bracelet in her daughter's hand and said embarrassedly.
"It's nothing," Sei Itō smiled and said.
Then, Chen Yongli sat on the sofa and chatted with Sei Itō. Chen Xichen was pulled into the kitchen by Liu Xiaohua to talk and help wash the vegetables. Grandpa Chen Xingqing continued to sit there in silence. He didn't say anything and didn't participate.
After more than half an hour, a table of sumptuous home-cooked dishes was prepared. Then, Sei Itō, Grandpa Chen Xingqing, and Chen Yongli's family sat at the table and started eating.
"Leave me your contact information." After the meal, Sei Itō chatted with Chen Xingqing's family for a while. When Sei Itō was about to leave, Grandpa Chen Xingqing suddenly said.
"Okay." Sei Itō didn't refuse. He leaned over and left his home phone number and his global phone number.
Then, after leaving his contact information, Sei Itō was sent to the door by Chen Xingqing's family.
"Come back often when you have time. Call your mother and your two sisters," Chen Yongli said when he was about to leave.
"Okay," Sei Itō agreed. Then, he said to Chen Xingqing's family, "Goodbye."
Then, Sei Itō walked out of the door and disappeared at the corner of the stairs under the gaze of Chen Xingqing's family. Then, he walked out of the building and returned to the Beijing Hotel.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to my hometown in my previous life." After returning to the hotel room, Sei Itō turned on the computer and browsed the international news while thinking to himself.
