Chapter 210: Chapter 155: Ink in Hand_2

Ah A and Li Jingyan were the most silent, perhaps having seen another side of Sui Yi in private, naturally possessing some resistance, but still... somewhat sighing.

That girl, after all, stood out from the masses.

At this moment, beside the table, Yi Chilian was looking at Sui Yi.

"Let’s not talk about what happened just now. The question now is, which of these two do you want to give me?"

One was genuine Jiang Zhengxuan Jade Ink, worth at least two million, and the other was Chenxiang Ink, also quite valuable.

So, which one would Sui Yi give?

Upon hearing this, Sui Yi glanced sideways, his gaze sweeping over the two blocks of ink on the table, "I should say which one you like. If you like both, you can take them both."

So generous, too generous!

Others being this generous, Yi Chilian would feel that they were putting on an act, but Sui Yi’s behavior seemed genuinely indifferent.

Indeed, she could even give away a priceless blade, let alone just two blocks of ink.

Yi Chilian finally chose the Chenxiang Ink.

"This one."

"Hmm? I thought Mr. Yi would choose the Jade Ink," Sui Yi said, slightly surprised.

Yi Chilian stood up straight, handed the Chenxiang Ink to Elder De beside him to pack and take care of, and while curling his lips said, "The Jade Ink suits you better."

With that, he left.

Elder De gave Sui Yi a slight smile and then also left.

Walking behind Yi Chilian, he seemed to hear him quietly say,

"Partridge Shore, riverside orchids, spring willows, beauty under the moon, years are like smoke, no longer as before, yet the beauty of the past and the lingering scent of Chenxiang remain."

He really liked the Chenxiang Ink.

And it seemed, so did she.

The Classical Chinese Conference eventually concluded successfully. Despite numerous incidents, they did not disrupt the progress of the conference; instead, they provided an extraordinary experience for the business visitors, a stimulating sensation that kept them enthusiastically discussing the previous engagements before they left after the closing.

Including the emerald green duel in the Gambling Stones area, as well as a sharp confrontation later inside the Classical Chinese Museum.

Who could have imagined that such an inconspicuous piece of famous ink hid such a story?

Jiang Zhengxuan Jade Ink and Hangong Square were destined to become topics of conversation for these people.

And by the next day, it made the morning paper in Nanxun.

However, the paper deliberately blurred Sui Yi’s identity, without a single photo, and it seemed to deliberately avoid mentioning her past, obviously having been warned privately.

Sui Yi read the report and merely chuckled.

As for who was behind it, she did not think much about it.

Whether it was Elder Tang or Elder De and others, they all had the motive and capability; why should she delve too deeply?

Although Lingshuang and other students, cautioned much by their parents, still inevitably let slip some details about Sui Yi due to their youthful nature, although they were quite discreet, it was enough to make high school students in the Nanxun region familiar with the name of Sui Yi. Of course, they were mostly curious but dared not provoke her too much.

—This person has too deep a background and is not good to mess with.

This is why currently, only Yu Hang and others who were originally close to Sui Yi could still linger around her. Later on, Sister Lin and her food-lover best friend joined, plus a gentleman of excellence, Su Ziyi...

Not many friends, but enough.

Sui Yi’s first semester of senior year in high school simply passed in tranquility.

November 20, 2007, Second High School Class 2.

Outside the window, the leaves shyly and timidly lost their green, spreading a faintly weathered yellow. The originally warm wind also carried some of the chill unique to winter days, sometimes even making one’s neck feel cool.

If one were afraid of the cold or more trendy, they would now be wearing scarves to school.

Clothes have also added a layer unconsciously.

"Hey, Sui Yi, you’re wearing so little again, aren’t you cold?" Little Fatty Zhou looked at Sui Yi’s ivory-colored knitted sweater with a slight V-neck revealing some of the snowy white skin of her neck, his gaze moving upward to see Sui Yi leaning against the back of her chair, her face very pale, a bit like the milk he had drunk that morning.

It seemed to bear a layer of soft color, rendering that milky whiteness with a faintly lingering sense.

Softening much of autumn’s dryness.

Throughout the entire class and even the entire school, Sui Yi always managed to stand out among so many female students.

Just like Yhan Qingwu used to.

"It’s okay, not too cold," Sui Yi glanced at her school uniform laid on the adjacent empty chair, considering whether to put on the jacket.

But she did not feel cold.

If not for fear of appearing too different, she could go out in a shirt.

Merely looking at her jacket, she inevitably thought of the girl who had left Nanxun and gone to the bustling Provincial City.

Unconsciously, she sighed.

"Fatty, you think Sui Yi is as weak as you, already chubby, but wrapped up like a polar bear! Come on, Sui Yi, thanks for the exam paper. Here, I’m giving it back to you," Wang Xian teased his desk mate while pulling out Sui Yi’s exam booklet from his backpack and placing it on Sui Yi’s desk.

They chatted a bit more, and soon the bell rang for class.

Huang Liang walked into the classroom and spoke.

"I have an announcement for you... There’s an exam tomorrow."

"Jiangnan City has moved up the date for the first city-wide mock exam; high school seniors from fifty schools in Jiangnan City, including eighteen towns, are required to participate."

"The exam will last for two days and follow the pattern of the national college entrance exam..."

"Your exam venues will be assigned to different schools, intermixed with students from other schools in Nanxun..."

The voice of Huang Liang, as usual, was rough and grating, breaking the only good mood of the early morning, directly dropping the temperature to freezing point, and just as the leaves fell past Sui Yi’s window, explosively generating a wave of excitement!(To be continued.
