Chapter 30: Angrily Ordering 880 Male Models Overnight – No Matter What the Other Party is Hiding…
It wasn’t until stone 2817 was completely opened that Le Can suddenly understood why it would become—both now and in the future—the raw jadeite that permanently dominated the top of the gambling stone topic charts.
Do you know the thoracic cage?
It contains the thoracic vertebrae, ribs, sternum, and other vital human bones.
Together, they form the bony foundation and framework of the chest wall, protecting a person’s two most important and fragile organs—the heart and the lungs.
Coincidentally, two intact, semi-conical jadeites shaped like lungs were extracted from 2817.
If one were to look back now and merge the two halves of the raw stone that the stone-cutting master had separated along the giant crack, it would resemble a rough model of a human thoracic cage.
The crack running from the top of 2817 to the bottom was like the fusion of the spine and sternum.
And those dense, intimidating patches of black tinea subtly wrapped around the two jadeites—which were perfect in both species and water—forming the 12 pairs of protecting ribs.
The tinea not only failed to penetrate the color but seemed to cleverly block all the tiny, infuriating fissures on the outside, keeping them close to the skin of the stone.
Le Can wasn’t sure if nature truly possessed such magical and unreasonable stones, or if this was just a special arrangement by the author of this book world.
Even though he was prepared, an informed outsider like him was stunned. Let alone the surrounding insiders who were knowledgeable but had never seen such a style before.
No matter how hard they rubbed their eyes, closed them, and opened them again.
A touch of clear, rich green remained there. It was like the freshest mint in summer; no matter how many times you looked at it, it was refreshing and gladdened the heart.
It wasn’t an illusion, it wasn’t collective hallucination, it wasn’t fake!
The key was, as their trembling, hesitant gazes shifted slightly to the side—
Hah! It was strikingly another piece of Glass Species Imperial Green, equally clear and pure as glass, with color so rich and vibrant it seemed ready to drip, piercing straight to the bottom of one’s heart.
One on the left, one on the right, arguably the world’s most extremely eye-catching “twins.”
Anyone who looked at it for more than a couple of seconds felt the world spinning upside down, their feet light as if stepping on clouds. It was a free experience of what it meant to be mentally swayed and dazzled.
When rationality finally returned, the thought of 2817’s price tag, and the thought of having passed by this treasure multiple times… Hiss…
Many people on the scene couldn’t help but feel short of breath and tightness in their chests, their trembling hands clutching hearts that were suffering spasms of pain.
As for the Sun Green Sticky Rice Ice Jadeite that Gu Xinxue had opened earlier? Taken alone, it was decent, but in front of the Glass Species Imperial Green, it wasn’t even worth looking at.
Although Sun Green was also bright in color, in front of the more elegant and noble Imperial Green, it was like a tender junior. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t flavorful enough.
The Sticky Rice Ice was fine and lustrous, indeed gentle and beautiful. But in front of the Glass Species, which was transparent and spiritual like a handful of clear spring water held in the palm, it appeared less majestic.
It really couldn’t withstand comparison.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt 2817 was truly good, and the more they thought, the more regretful they became…
Bought for over a million, selling it would likely be calculated in the hundreds of millions—a hundredfold increase. What is called a rise? This is called a rise, a massive rise!!!
Some people’s eyes instantly turned red, and even their breathing became heavy and turbid. Some people’s eyes lit up, using burning gazes to trace every detail of the jadeite from afar. Some regretted their past actions, hugging their heads and crying up a storm. Others rolled their eyes and quickly ran to the semi-open material area, trying to find another “pearl left in the ocean”…
If not for the giant Buddha that was Lu Fuming suppressing the scene, everyone would have swarmed forward without waiting for the young couple—the jadeite owners—to finish their intimate moment.
Whether they had malicious intent was another matter, but the selfish desire to reach out and touch it, to get a bit of good luck, was absolutely something everyone had.
While everyone was indulging in the beauty of the Glass Species Imperial Green and the wealth it could bring, Le Can looked at the Ice Species Floating Blue Flower Jadeite that Gu Xinxue had newly opened.
Inside the colorless, nearly transparent Ice Species Jadeite, floated wisps of blue-green, long like aquatic plants.
Up close, it looked like the smoke-shrouded Jiangnan; from afar, it looked like a landscape painting created with splashed ink. It didn’t have the aggressive luxury of the Imperial Green, yet it carried a hazy fairy-like atmosphere and beauty.
It was no wonder that in the jade market, Ice Species Floating Flower Jadeite was favored by so many young buyers.
If Le Can had money, he would also choose to buy plenty of such good-looking and value-retaining high-quality jadeite. Then, like a hamster hoarding goods, he would slowly refill his little treasury.
After changing worlds, his little treasury had been destitute. Now, he had secured a finished Ice Species Peach Blossom Spring Jadeite, a finished Ice Species Blue Water Jadeite, and a finished Glass Species Imperial Green Jadeite.
However, even though he already had three, seeing the one in Gu Xinxue’s hand, Le Can still felt envious.
Mm… he didn’t need too much, he just wanted to add one more finished Ice Species Floating Blue Flower Jadeite.
Where did Gu Xinxue say his family was from before? Gu Hui Jewelry. Sounds very promising.
Thus, the dialogue about sending a wedding invitation ensued.
“When we hold our wedding, we will definitely visit in person to send Young Master Gu a wedding invitation.”
To highlight, this “visit in person” wasn’t Le Can being provocative.
Declaring sovereignty was part of it; after all, this cheap husband (two-year limited edition) had a total value of over two hundred million.
Le Can didn’t care about what happened after two years or more, but during the two years he was here, no one should even think about destroying this indestructible marriage!
Similarly, Le Can harbored insincere—or perhaps urgent—thoughts of getting closer.
Wedding invitations are sent to everyone anyway. Sending one to Gu Xinxue fulfills the superficial pleasantries. Later, when entering Gu Hui Jewelry to buy things, surely they wouldn’t stop him from buying just because he stepped in with his left foot first, right?
But obviously, Young Master Gu, in his rage, did not realize that the person opposite him might be a potential future client of Gu Hui Jewelry.
The moment he heard about the wedding invitation, Gu Xinxue’s delicate face turned even greener than that piece of Glass Species Imperial Green.
Next, under Xi Yun’s reminder, Le Can brought up the old matter of the Ice Species Blue Water Jadeite used as a wager. Best two out of three, and the third round hadn’t even started yet, but he had lost completely. Young Master Gu broke down even further.
From the moment he lost the first round, he had been holding back a massive amount of anger. Now that anger was like a balloon inflated to its limit, on the verge of exploding.
Just on the eve of the explosion, a sudden “crackling” sound of firecrackers drifted in from outside.
Le Can watched as the Little Peacock’s face instantly lost all color, becoming ashen and defeated.
It was as if someone had poured a large basin of cold water over a raging fire. The fire was extinguished, the heat dissipated, leaving only a mess on the ground and rising black smoke.
In the end, it was unclear what he was thinking. Unwillingness? Reluctance? Or perhaps hope?
Gu Xinxue looked at the man in the black Zhongshan suit, sitting upright in the wheelchair, looking more like a clay idol in a shrine whose emotions were unknown.
A person who, from start to finish, remained unmoved by his actions.
Gu Xinxue’s lips quivered twice, but in the end, he didn’t say another word and left the scene without looking back.
Looking at the other party’s lonely and heartbroken retreating figure, Le Can shook his head with pity.
A melon forced off the vine isn’t sweet, yet he refused to believe in heresy and insisted on taking a bite to taste the saltiness. But one also has to see if the melon can be forced.
Whatever the case, it was obvious that Xi Yun did not belong to the category of people who could be successfully forced.
Are there not plenty of other fish in the sea? In Le Can’s opinion, if you have money and looks, you might as well spend a bit more money and angrily order 880 male models overnight.
Wicked and domineering, flowers of the high ridge (aloof beauties), enthusiastic puppies, refined scum, elegant school hunks… whatever you want, you can have!
If that doesn’t work, you can smash money for private customization. Isn’t extreme and considerate emotional value better than rushing to find unhappiness?
However, some people have to hit the south wall to know it hurts. Le Can thought about it, but he had no intention of intervening to play matchmaker and cuckold himself.
After sighing, he couldn’t help but recall the noise that made Gu Xinxue lose his last bit of spirit.
“Hey, by the way, don’t you ban fireworks and firecrackers here?”
This familiar yet strange sound… Le Can hadn’t heard it for a long time since his previous life.
The city he went to later was indeed clean and convenient. But similarly, it was also very deserted. Whether it was the distance between people or the distance between hearts, everything was far apart.
Occasionally, Le Can would miss his childhood, when his family was still around.
Although the village wasn’t convenient and there weren’t many people, it was always so lively and close. And every lively scene was always accompanied by the loud and noisy sound of firecrackers.
It was just that such a sound never appeared in Le Can’s life again after that…
The voice that was full of vitality and slyness just a moment ago gradually lowered, carrying a loneliness that even its owner hadn’t noticed.
Having just heard the brief inner voice about [Angrily ordering 880 male models] not long ago, the shhh shhh white noise sounded in Xi Yun’s ears again.
The eyes under the white silk slowly opened.
Can a person’s emotions undergo such a drastic change in such a short time?
Doubts rose in Xi Yun’s heart, but he didn’t turn his head to look at the object of his confusion.
Evidently, this sudden loss of control had greatly improved his ability. Not only were the inner voices he heard clearer, but even when Le Can insisted on cutting stone 2817, Xi Yun had silently activated his X-ray vision without any side effects.
The only thing he couldn’t control was still when facing the person in front of him.
Such a raw stone that no one favored—without even glancing at it, he had Yuan Cheng buy it directly.
Every step after that seemed to have been anticipated, walked steadily and extremely smoothly.
Even after possessing his ability, when more facets of the world were unfolded before Xi Yun’s eyes, he had never met such a… person full of unknowns, whose whole body seemed to be a mystery.
This was the main reason Xi Yun was willing to spend two hundred million and two years to bind Le Can completely to his side.
No matter what secret the other party was hiding…
A dark light flashed through the silver-grey double pupils.
Under his constantly upgrading ability, two years was enough for him to find the things he wanted to know…
The firecrackers rang for a long time, and the surrounding crowd was also very noisy. After asking once and getting no answer, Le Can thought the person beside him hadn’t heard, so he repeated it.
“Xi Yun, are fireworks and firecrackers not banned here?”
This time Le Can got an answer.
“Fireworks and firecrackers have never been banned here.”
The magnetic, deep voice sounded, causing Le Can to be stunned for a moment.
“Is that so? That’s really good…”
So good that he realized very clearly that this place and the world he used to live in were truly two completely different spaces.
Xi Yun caught the sudden realization in his words, but he didn’t ask; he simply noted the anomaly and continued to explain:
“When a buyer gets a big rise in gambling stones, the seller will set off some fireworks and firecrackers to suit the occasion. It serves as both a celebration and an advertisement for themselves.”
Pausing for two seconds to let Le Can digest this, Xi Yun continued:
“Old Mr. Lu believes ‘the fragrance of wine isn’t afraid of the deep alley.’ He doesn’t need publicity, so his requirements are a bit higher than elsewhere. Here, only for High Ice Species and Glass Species will this sound ring out.”
“So, congratulations, Le Can.”
The youth with peach blossom eyes suddenly smiled into two curved crescents.
No one dislikes praise. The former Le Can was ashamed to receive any praise from the outside world, but the current Le Can was not.
He raised his chin slightly, his expression proud like a little fox with fluffy fur squinting in the sun, “Thank you.”
“But I think this sound will ring out again soon.”
The man whose eyes were covered slowly raised his eyelids, looking at the youth whose words were pregnant with meaning.
“And this time, I will have to congratulate you…”
Author’s Note: Current Can Can: Having money means ordering male models! Wicked and domineering, flowers of the high ridge, enthusiastic puppies, refined scum, elegant school hunks… whatever you want, you can have!
Future Can Can: (Clutching his kidneys) (Tone satisfied yet sorrowful) With some trees, once you own one, it’s equivalent to owning the entire forest.
Translator’s corner: I WISH I HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY HAHAHAHAHAHA
