"Alright, it’s settled then." Gu Jingtian nodded. He turned to He Boxing, Tian Yingzi, and Luoyang Jun. "Are you all coming along?"
Luoyang Jun spoke first. "I’ll go too. Little Pig Sister won’t mind if I join, right?"
"Oh, come on, Peony Brother. You don’t need to pretend to be serious. Let’s go together. It’s more fun with more people. What about Dr. Tian and Dr. She? Are you coming?" Zhu Yanyi didn’t mind everyone going together. They had all come from China together, so there was no need to be too strict about separating.
She Boxing shook her head slightly. "You go ahead. My jet lag isn’t fully adjusted yet. I need to sleep a bit more."
Tian Yingzi said, "Then I’ll go too. It’s rare to visit this country. I want to see the architecture and scenery. That way, I can brag to my colleagues when I return." Tian Yingzi spoke frankly, and Zhu Yanyi liked her tone. "Then let’s go together."
"Alright, it’s decided. Lao Wu will take the Junior Sister. Luoyang Jun and Tian Yingzi will go sightseeing nearby. We’ll meet at Oon Western Restaurant around one o’clock. I’ll go gather some information first, then come get Dr. He to join us at the restaurant." Gu Jingtian arranged everyone’s schedule directly.
"I’ll go by myself then," He Boxing said. "One o’clock. I’ve noted it. I won’t be late."
"Alright, it’s settled." Dong Bocao clapped his hands. With everyone having a purpose, they prepared briefly and then went out together.
Dong Bocao seemed familiar with the area, so he moved with clear intent. About five hundred meters from their hotel, they arrived at an antique market.
The antique trade here was basically just shops selling antiques. Every store had antiques, but finding real ones depended on your luck.
Zhu Yanyi and the others didn’t understand much, so they mostly looked around. Dong Bocao, however, specifically bought a pipe from someone, claiming it had been used by a famous person.
"Are you just looking and not buying?" Dong Bocao asked with a smile.
Tian Yingzi said, "Not interested. I’m just out for a stroll."
Luoyang Jun said, "I haven’t seen anything I like yet. Anyway, I’ll buy it if I see something I want." He was the type who came to buy, not to hunt for treasures.
"I don’t understand this industry," Zhu Yanyi shrugged. "So all I can do is look at whether these things look nice and pretty. There’s nothing else for me to do. Demon Senior Brother, don’t worry about me. You buy what you want, and I’ll look at what I want. If I like something, I’ll buy it."
Zhu Yanyi genuinely hadn’t found anything she liked. For her, buying things meant buying what she truly liked. After looking around for a while, she stumbled upon a shop selling pens.
The pens here came in all shapes, imitating ancient Western styles, so there were feathers of all kinds. Among them, Zhu Yanyi saw a brooch shaped like a feather. She liked it quite a bit.
"Boss, how much is this brooch?" Zhu Yanyi asked.
The boss came out. Surprisingly, she was Chinese. Seeing Zhu Yanyi and her group, she smiled slightly. "You like this brooch."
Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly upon seeing the boss. For some reason, she felt she had seen this person before, but she couldn’t remember where for the moment. "Yes, it looks nice, so I want to buy it."
"This brooch is just a handicraft. If you want it, take it for ten gold coins." The man was gentle and polite, seeming to have no temper at all.
