Hearing the boss's voice, the boy looked at the items in Xiao Xiao's hand with increasing curiosity.
Naturally, he has heard of Amber for a long time.
But he had never seen the real thing before.
However, he moved closer and said, "...Is there nothing in here?"
Aren't there usually small insects or something encased in amber?
He had seen amber on TV and in books before, and the small insects in it were lifelike.
It's like you're still alive.
...
The boss couldn't control his reaction and rolled his eyes, "Who told you that there must be something in amber?"
"That's just a rare coincidence."
"How can every Amber encounter such a coincidence?"
...
"oh."
The boy was stunned.
He usually doesn't pay attention to such things.
Because the amber that appeared on TV and in books was stuffed with something inside, he thought that the so-called amber had something inside it.
...
The boss smiled and said, "Many people have the same understanding as you."
"Amber like that is precious, so it's probably mentioned more often."
"Like this..."
The boss looked at the amber in Xiao Xiao's hand and said, "The value is only average."
...
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Boss, how much does this cost?"
"You want this?!"
The boss was surprised.
There are so many good things in his store.
Which one is better than this amber?
Regardless of the value, just from the appearance, the jade in his shop is beautiful.
Why did this young man fall in love with this amber?
"you sure?"
The boss confirmed again and again, "This is not insect amber, and the quality is not good either."
"Look, the cracks on the surface and the impurity minerals are so obvious."
Although that doesn't mean it's worthless.
It is the least valuable type of amber.
"If you really like amber, you might as well buy a better one."
"It depends on your luck."
“And the price is too expensive.”
"But there are still many better ambers than this."
The boss is very honest.
He persuaded the young man in front of him quite earnestly.
...
"Well, thank you boss."
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth turned up slightly, "But that's what I'm attracted to."
"Probably...it's the so-called eye relationship."
"Please help me pay the bill."
Now that the young man has said this, the boss doesn't say anything more.
Anyway, he said everything that needed to be said.
It's none of his business if the young man regrets it later.
After all, no matter how bad the quality of the amber is, it is still amber.
The price is still there.
Although he couldn't remember when he had this amber in his store, since it was found on the shelf in his store, the boss pretended that he had forgotten it.
Maybe he accidentally found a piece of amber and left it in the store.
Later, as time went by, I forgot about it.
The boss sold the amber to the young man at the lowest market price.
After all, it is an inexplicable extra product, so just think of it as an extra profit.
What if the price quoted is too high and the young man doesn’t want it?
Who knows if he can wait for the next "destined person" for Amber?
...
The boy followed Xiao Xiao out of the store.
The bright sunshine poured down, clearly illuminating the boy's face that was hesitant to speak.
Xiao Xiao turned around and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is there anything you want to ask?"
The boy was startled.
Then he said hesitantly, "Xiao Xiao, why did you buy this amber?"
Originally, after hearing what the boss said, he thought the amber was very cheap, so he bought it.
The price quoted by the boss later surprised him.
So expensive?!
But seeing Xiao Xiao pay the money without changing his expression, even though he wanted to speak several times, he said nothing in the end.
It is a person's freedom whether to buy something or not.
only......
Xiao Xiao wouldn't do it for...
"I didn't pick something in the store just because I was embarrassed."
Xiao Xiao's words suddenly made the boy's eyes widen.
He couldn't help but reached out and touched his face.
Is there writing on his face?
Why can Xiao Xiao know what he is thinking every time?
so amazing.
The boy looked at Xiao Xiao with a bit of amazement in his eyes.
...
Xiao Xiao:......
He ignored the boy's eyes and continued what he said before, "I bought this amber because I really like it."
Xiao Xiao looked serious.
There was no hint of reluctance in his eyebrows.
Although it was a bit unbelievable, the boy gradually believed Xiao Xiao's words.
but......
Thinking of the amber he saw in Xiao Xiao's palm just now, he felt that Xiao Xiao's preferences were a bit strange.
Among so many beautiful jades, I finally fell in love with a piece of amber...
...
"Bai Yuan."
Xiao Xiao stopped.
"yes."
The boy's loud voice startled him.
Xiao Xiao laughed, "If nothing happens, let's say goodbye here."
"If there is any news from Xiaohuo, I will call you."
"Ah? Oh."
The boy was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yeah, yeah."
"Thank you, Xiao Xiao."
The boy thanked me sincerely.
"If it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would have taken to find Xiao Huo."
"Excuse me."
"It took you so long."
The boy thanked and apologized.
For a moment, I felt a little rushed.
...
"You're welcome."
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows slightly arched, "I want to help myself."
"It doesn't matter."
"I also said, it's summer vacation now."
"I have a lot of time."
"and-"
Xiao Xiao picked up the small bag in his hand. The box inside contained amber, "I also got an unexpected gain."
The boy laughed.
Although he didn't quite understand what attracted Xiao Xiao to the piece of amber, he felt slightly relieved that Xiao Xiao liked it so much.
I always feel that if this is the case, Xiao Xiao's time helping to find Xiao Huo is not wasted.
...
After Xiao Xiao said goodbye to the boy, he walked towards home.
...
In the courtyard of the Xiao family.
Xiao Xiao took out the amber and raised it towards the direction of the sun.
The creatures in the transparent solid became increasingly clear.
What's this?
Xiao Xiao looked at the creature that had huddled up into a ball, unable to see its full face.
The cracks and impurities in amber make it even more difficult to distinguish the creatures inside.
The only thing that's certain is...
This is a... "Monster..."
The monster in amber...
Xiao Xiao curled his lips, "Can monsters be trapped in amber too?"
"Hiss~"
White Snake stood up and looked at the monster in the amber with some curiosity.
"This is also the first time for people to see it."
"This is probably an idiot."
The little white fox flicked its tail and said somewhat casually.
However, his eyes clearly reflected the monster in the amber on Xiao Xiao's palm.
...
Xiao Xiao laughed.
"But how did you find out?"
Xiao Xiao brought the amber closer to him, "I don't feel any evil spirit from this piece of amber."
After all, it is wrapped in amber, so... the evil spirit is also isolated, right?
If it hadn't been for Ah Jiu and Ah Bai reminding him before, he wouldn't have noticed this piece of amber at all.
