"yawn--"

The following morning, Gao Dongxu yawned and sat up in bed, threw off the covers, went into the bathroom, and after relieving himself, he walked back to the bedside, bent down and picked up his socks, underwear and Republic of China-era student uniform from the floor.

He glanced again at the nightgown that Shang Youyou had probably tossed aside in her haste to go to work, chuckled, smelled the socks in his hand, and raised an eyebrow.

It has to be said that some beautiful women are goddesses in public, glamorous and radiant, but at home they're a complete mess.

Gao Dongxu picked up the items one by one, throwing the crumpled paper into the trash can, discarding the unwearable socks, and putting the dirty ones into the laundry basket. As for the uniforms, Republican-era student uniforms, and cheongsams that had made important contributions to pleasing the two of them, he tidied them up and put them in the wardrobe.

After folding the blankets and washing up, Gao Dongxu left Shang Youyou's house, drove to several specialty snack shops, bought breakfast and snacks, and headed straight to the hospital.

Morning light streamed through the gauze curtains into the hospital room, where Chen Jiamiao was gazing out the window, lost in thought. Her eyes lit up instantly when Gao Dongxu pushed open the door, carrying several bags.

"Guess what I brought you?" Gao Dongxu shook the paper bag in his hand, and the aroma of food immediately filled the ward. He gently adjusted Chen Jiamiao's pillow and carefully set up a small table in front of her.

Chen Jiamiao lowered her head and smiled, a faint blush rising on her pale cheeks. As Gao Dongxu approached, she smelled the familiar scent of aftershave, mingled with the morning breeze.

Chen Jiamiao's eyes followed the movements of his hands, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. When Gao Dongxu bent down to adjust the bed for her, she quietly tugged at the hem of his clothes.

The smell of disinfectant in the hospital was diluted by the aroma of food, and Gao Dongxu handed the snacks to Chen Jiamiao.

Chen Jiamiao ate shyly and sweetly, glancing at Gao Dongxu from time to time. She accidentally choked and coughed lightly twice.

"Eat slowly..." Gao Dongxu smiled and gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, his fingertips inadvertently touching her burning earlobe.

"How are you feeling today?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile while eating breakfast.

"Yes, it's fine," Chen Jiamiao replied softly.

"That's good." Gao Dongxu smiled as he looked at her pretty face and said, "The New Year is just a few days away. I'll be spending it with my elders at home, so I won't be able to come and keep you company. But I'll arrange for someone to bring you New Year's Eve dinner..."

"No need for that, I'm fine..." Chen Jiamiao's beautiful eyes welled up with tears as she looked at Gao Dongxu without blinking and said softly.

"Silly girl—" Gao Dongxu affectionately reached out and touched her fair, flushed cheeks, and said softly, "You just need to take good care of your injuries. Just follow my arrangements for the rest. Didn't you call home?"

With a blush spreading across her face and a sweet feeling welling up inside, Chen Jiamiao gently bit her red lips, nodded slightly, and softly said, "I did call them. My mom kept crying, and my dad kept sighing. I really don't blame them..."

Seeing Chen Jiamiao's reddened eyes, Gao Dongxu gently stroked her cheek a few times and said understandingly, "They really had no choice..."

"Yes, I understand, I haven't blamed them."

Looking at the sensible, well-behaved, and pitiful Chen Jiamiao, Gao Dongxu felt a pang of sympathy and sat down beside her, carefully pulling her into his arms and gently stroking her thin back.

Chen Jiamiao's slender body trembled slightly in his arms. He moved gently, as if holding the first flower about to bloom in early spring.

He reached out and lifted her delicate chin, and under her tearful, shy gaze, he lowered his head and kissed her pink lips. He watched as she closed her eyes in a daze, clumsily responding to his kiss.

An hour later, Gao Dongxu walked out of the hospital's inpatient building, his face full of lingering satisfaction. However, thinking of Chen Jiamiao's shy and adorable appearance when she said that she had a small conscience, he couldn't help but smack his lips a few times.

Dogs don't discriminate based on the size of a heart; they'll all find it delicious. The only difference is the texture.

In the parking lot, Gao Dongxu got into his car and took out his phone to call Chen Jiamiao's parents.

The heavy local accent made the phone call very difficult, but fortunately, the communication became smooth after Chen Jiamiao's younger brother took the phone.

There's nothing else to it. Since I can't spend the New Year with Chen Jiamiao, I'll just pay for her parents to come to Beijing and keep her company.

It was just a small amount of money, but it was enough to move Chen Jiamiao to tears. Why not do it?

When Chen Jiamiao's parents heard that it was their daughter's boyfriend who was offering to pay for them to come to Beijing to be with their daughter, covering all expenses, they naturally agreed without hesitation.

After hanging up the phone, Gao Dongxu leaned back in his seat and let out a soft breath. The winter sunlight streamed in through the car window, illuminating his profile. He thought of Chen Jiamiao's eyes, filled with tears yet forcing a smile, and his heart softened slightly.

"This little bit of money is nothing..." he muttered to himself, tapping his fingers lightly on the steering wheel. "It's worth it to make her happy."

Before starting the car, he transferred 10,000 yuan to Chen Jiamiao's father's bank card via his mobile phone so that the family of three could buy train tickets. If he was going to do it, he should do it thoroughly—that silly girl in the ward deserved the best.

I glanced at my watch and realized it was almost time to meet the German. Without further ado, I stepped on the gas and headed straight for Panjiayuan.

Outside Zhenbaoge, the long queue remained as always. With Gao Dongxu's rising fame, Zhenbaoge once again became the focus, attracting a constant stream of customers.

Gao Dongxu pushed open the door and entered the store, where he saw three women dressed in black, white, and pink cheongsams. Their fair and slender legs were truly a feast for the eyes. Each of the three women wore the cheongsam with their own unique charm; every smile and gesture was captivating, and every movement was mesmerizing.

In his view, a woman who can wear a cheongsam with charm and elegance is the epitome of womanhood.

The three women reacted differently to Gao Dongxu: Wu Xiaowei's eyes were alluring, Yang Tao's smile was charming and sweet, and Tang Nannan's was bright and radiant.

"A few Germans will be here in a little while. Peach, you can lead them upstairs," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Okay." Yang Tao smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Gao Dongxu.

"You guys go ahead with your work—" Gao Dongxu smiled and went straight upstairs.

After going upstairs, he opened the safe, put the Roman statue inside, and then closed it.

I walked to the tea table, started boiling water, rinsed the teaware, and waited for the Germans to arrive.

"Boom boom boom——"

While smoking, drinking tea, and studying the Su Ding Lu in his hand, Gao Dongxu heard the sound of high heels on the stairs. He immediately put away the Su Ding Lu, stubbed out his cigarette, and looked towards the stairwell.

With an elegant and gentle smile, Yang Tao led Jorkeldov and another German man up.

Gao Dongxu smiled, stood up, walked around the tea table, and stood still. When Yorkrudov and his companion walked up to him, he extended his hand to shake hands with them and said with a smile, "Doctor, you are very punctual."

"Being punctual is the best respect you can show to time, and it's also the best greeting," Dr. Rudolf said with a smile in his accented Mandarin.

"Mr. Gao, let me introduce you. This is Klaus, the representative of the Cologne Museum."

“Hello, Mr. Klaus—” Gao Dongxu smiled and shook hands with the other party, then looked at Dr. Rudolf and teased, “I thought the Pompeyanaum Palace would send someone to trade with me.”

"They would like to come, but unfortunately, neither of the two antiques you specified belong to them. Fortunately, the Cologne Museum is willing to make an exchange."

Now that things have come to this, Rudolf didn't hide the truth and said with a smile.

"Hehe, I see..." Gao Dongxu laughed as if he suddenly understood, then invited the two to sit down and poured them tea.

"Mr. Gao, could you bring out that Roman bust so we can take a look?" Rudolf said to Gao Dongxu with a smile.

“No problem—” Gao Dongxu smiled, got up, walked to the safe, opened it, took out the marble bust, placed it on the tea table, and let the two examine and appraise it.

The man named Klaus immediately took out his testing tools from his briefcase, held up a magnifying glass, widened his eyes, and began to examine the items carefully.

About ten minutes later, Klaus smiled excitedly and started talking to Rudolf in a string of words.

Rudolf listened, smiled and nodded, then said to Gao Dongxu with a smile, "The statue is fine; it is indeed a bust of Sextus Pompeii, the Roman military leader. His father was Pompeii the Great, and he was also an ally of Julius Caesar. It is approximately 2000 years old..."

"That's good. So, what do I want?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile.

After Rudolf and Klaus exchanged a few words, Klaus opened his briefcase again, took out a brocade box, and handed it to Gao Dongxu with a somewhat reluctant look.

Noticing the other party's gaze, Gao Dongxu made no attempt to hide the sneer on his face. He opened the brocade box, reached out and grabbed the dragon-shaped knob, and picked up the jade seal.

"Made of celadon jade, square in shape, with intertwined dragon knob, and the inscription 'Jingyi Garden' in Han script seal script. The face is 9.5 cm square. The attached yellow ribbon is missing. The seal base is engraved around the edges with Emperor Qianlong's 'Record of Jingyi Garden,' which describes the origins, process, and naming of Jingyi Garden..."

Feeling the icy chill and abundant spiritual energy emanating from the jade seal, Gao Dongxu admired it while recounting its information as if it were a treasure trove.

Under Rudolf's watchful gaze as he translated, Klaus looked at Gao Dongxu and nodded, seemingly acknowledging Gao Dongxu's appraisal skills.

"Having been stranded overseas since 1911, it has finally returned to China 99 years later!"

Gao Dongxu said calmly, but to Rudolf, it sounded somewhat jarring.

To be honest, Rudolf, who was an expert on China, was genuinely afraid of China's resurgence. The more he understood China and the core of its people's thinking, the more worried and afraid he became.

In fact, it wasn't just Rudolf himself who was worried and afraid. All the European and American countries that had brought suffering and painful lessons to China were worried and afraid that China would return to the top of the world and retaliate!
