Chapter 60

Chen Dasheng also heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Then, according to the three teachers, how much do you think this bracelet could sell for?"

Han Ruoxue also suppressed her excitement; the question Chen Dasheng asked was also what she was most concerned about. Her father's surgery fees were entirely dependent on this bracelet.

The three people deliberated for a moment, and Li Zhongqing said, "If this item was a gift from the Xuanzong Emperor to Yang Guifei, its value might be higher. The material and quality of your bracelet are not very good, but based on its historical value and significance, if we can find a good buyer, it should be worth over a million, right?"

"Really?"

Han Ruoxue let out a low exclamation. Although she had been prepared, she was still startled by this figure, almost thinking her ears were playing tricks on her. She pinched her thigh, and yes, she heard one million, not one thousand.

Liao Kang said, "One million, there should be someone who would buy it!"

At that moment, Han Ruoxue felt as if she had been hit by a falling pie from the sky. She was momentarily stunned, her heart filled with excitement, agitation, and disbelief, almost to the point of tears.

Chen Dasheng's lips curved into a satisfied smile, and he said to Han Ruoxue, "Ruoxue, see? I told you it would be fine!"

Han Ruoxue bit her lip and nodded repeatedly, expressing her gratitude to the three experts.

Chen Dasheng patted Han Ruoxue's shoulder and said, "Ruoxue, don't be too excited. The bracelet has been confirmed to be genuine, and the experts have given an estimate. If you want to sell it, I've already contacted a few friends who are antique enthusiasts. If you're willing to sell, they will definitely offer a satisfactory price. If you want to keep it, these three experts can provide you with an appraisal certificate."

Li Zhongqing and the others' faces twitched slightly when they heard Chen Dasheng's words. They had only been speaking verbally, but if Han Ruoxue wanted an appraisal certificate, the nature of the matter would be completely different once they signed it.

Han Ruoxue, hearing this, turned to look at the people behind her and nodded lightly to Chen Dasheng, saying, "If it can be sold, let's sell it now."

This was the moment for the rich people to perform. Chen Dasheng gave them a look, and they immediately gathered around.

---

"Dasheng, thank you so much today!" Outside the hotel, Chen Dasheng was pushing his bicycle, and Han Ruoxue walked beside him, her face filled with excitement and gratitude.

Chen Dasheng smiled and said, "Why thank me? I'm not doing this for free; you promised to pay me a reward!"

Han Ruoxue smiled brightly and said, "Don't worry, once my father's injury is treated, the remaining money, we'll split it fifty-fifty!"

"Alright!"

Chen Dasheng didn't care much about it, just smiled. After the bidding by those rich people, the bracelet was finally sold for 1.8 million to a short man, which was much higher than Han Ruoxue's initial estimate. After deducting her father's surgery and recovery costs, there should still be a considerable amount left.

"Dasheng, really, thank you so much!"

After laughing, Han Ruoxue was still very grateful. In this matter, Chen Dasheng had given her a lot of help. If it weren't for Chen Dasheng, even if she knew the bracelet was a valuable antique, she wouldn't have been able to sell it for so much money. Chen Dasheng was undoubtedly a savior in her time of need.

At this moment, Han Ruoxue's perception of Chen Dasheng had completely changed. She could feel that Chen Dasheng was helping her out of the goodness of his heart, and the talk of a reward was just for fun.

Seeing the worry on Han Ruoxue's face gradually fade away, Chen Dasheng felt a great sense of relief. His lips curved slightly, and he said half-jokingly, "If you want to thank me, you need to show some actual action!"

Han Ruoxue said, "How do you want me to thank you? Would you like to have dinner with me?"

Chen Dasheng shook his head and said, "Dinner is so cliché. If you can, give me a hug!"

"Um!"

Han Ruoxue looked up at Chen Dasheng and saw a mischievous glint in his eyes. Her face immediately turned red.

"Alright, thank you, Dasheng!" After hesitating for a moment, Han Ruoxue smiled and opened her arms, hugging Chen Dasheng's broad waist.

"Whoa!"

Chen Dasheng was caught off guard by the fragrant embrace. He had only been joking and didn't expect Han Ruoxue to actually give him a warm hug.

The scent of orchids filled Chen Dasheng's nose, and the warm, soft body pressed tightly against his chest. Chen Dasheng could even feel the softness of Han Ruoxue's chest.

Holding the bicycle with one hand, Chen Dasheng couldn't help but wrap his other arm around Han Ruoxue's waist. For a moment, it felt as if the world had stopped, and there were only the two of them.

"Um?"

Feeling Chen Dasheng's arm around her, Han Ruoxue, like a cat whose tail had been caught, immediately pulled away from Chen Dasheng's embrace. Her face turned as red as a ripe persimmon.

Chen Dasheng's legs were bulging, and it was the part that had just touched her. Han Ruoxue was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up.

It was really swollen!

Chen Dasheng had been a bit carried away. Recently, his libido had been very strong, and he would have a reaction every morning. Even a slight provocation would cause a reaction. When Han Ruoxue threw herself into his arms, how could he not be moved by such a beautiful woman? Unless he was a eunuch.

It wouldn't subside for a while. Chen Dasheng adjusted his position, trying to make the bulge look smaller, but he felt very embarrassed, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.

"Uh, Ruoxue, get on the bike, I'll take you back!"

The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Chen Dasheng quickly got on the bicycle and sat down, feeling much better.

"Okay!"

Han Ruoxue's face was bright red, but she immediately sat on the back of the bicycle.

"Phew!" Chen Dasheng let out a long breath and started pedaling forward.

After a while, "Ruoxue, do you have a boyfriend?"

Chen Dasheng's voice came from ahead, and Han Ruoxue's body trembled. She softly replied, "No, I won't consider those things until after I graduate."

Chen Dasheng, hearing this, felt a sense of relief. He then laughed and said, "That's too bad. I don't have a girlfriend either. I was actually thinking of pursuing you, but it looks like I don't have that chance!"

There was a moment of silence behind him. Han Ruoxue didn't answer, but Chen Dasheng could feel her hands trembling slightly on his waist.

"Why aren't you speaking? Did I scare you?" Chen Dasheng asked with a laugh.

"No, no!" Han Ruoxue's voice was a bit flustered, "You're just joking. You're so rich and have so many friends. How could you be interested in a girl like me?"

Chen Dasheng laughed, "Ruoxue, you're underestimating yourself. A girl as gentle and beautiful as you is rare. If I didn't know you wouldn't be interested in me, I would definitely marry you!"

"Am I really that good?" Han Ruoxue whispered.

Chen Dasheng said directly, "I have a flaw; I don't like lying. Why don't you try being my girlfriend and see if I'll marry you?"

"Stop joking!"

Han Ruoxue's face was already red, but Chen Dasheng didn't notice.

---

First, they went to the bank to transfer the money back to her hometown. Then, Chen Dasheng took her back to the school.

At the girls' dormitory building.

"Ruoxue, don't go distributing flyers anymore. It's called 'work-study,' but it's just you tormenting yourself!" Han Ruoxue got off the bike, and Chen Dasheng said to her.

Han Ruoxue replied, "Don't worry, now that my father's surgery fees are covered, I won't go anymore!"

Chen Dasheng nodded and smiled, "Say what you mean. If I see you distributing flyers again, I'll definitely beat up the boss."

"How can you be so domineering? Always talking about beating people!" Han Ruoxue's face turned red.

Chen Dasheng laughed, "Yeah, my friends call me 'Monkey King'!"

Han Ruoxue gave Chen Dasheng a rare glare, stood there for a moment, and said, "Well, I have to go up now!"

"Go ahead. If anything happens, remember to call me!" Chen Dasheng made a gesture of calling.

Han Ruoxue nodded and turned to enter the dormitory building.

Watching Han Ruoxue's figure disappear, Chen Dasheng smiled contentedly. He turned around and suddenly held his head, frowning, "What did I forget?"

He took out his phone and saw several missed calls.

"Damn, how could I forget this?" Chen Dasheng slapped his forehead. He had already agreed to go to Happy Valley with Liu Xiaomin today, but he had been delayed by Han Ruoxue's matter and completely forgotten about it.

There were five missed calls, all from Liu Xiaomin. He had put his phone on silent while helping Han Ruoxue find the experts, so he hadn't received the calls.

Looking at the time, it was already past ten. Chen Dasheng could almost imagine Liu Xiaomin's furious face, and he shuddered.

He quickly called her back. After two beeps, a barrage of angry shouts came from the other end, "Chen Dasheng, where have you been? I called you so many times, why didn't you answer?"

Chen Dasheng's mind raced, and he quickly said, "I was delayed by something. I'm at Happy Valley now. Where are you?"

"You're at Happy Valley? I'm here too. Why can't I see you?" Liu Xiaomin's voice came from the other end.

"Where are you?" Chen Dasheng asked.

"Right at the entrance. I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Liu Xiaomin said.

Chen Dasheng replied, "Oh, I'm at the main entrance. I had a stomachache and am in the restroom. Wait for me a moment, I'll be out soon!"
