The three chatted idly and soon arrived at a street stall.

Yang Yue was the first to notice, and she pulled Yang Wan along and they quickly walked over.

Lin Zheng also noticed the items on the stall; in the upper right corner, a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants caught his eye.

Good heavens! Is this the legendary antique stall?

In my imagination, an antique stall should be a small shop with simple and rustic decorations, where the owner is dressed in a robe in the style of the Republic of China era and sits on a high wooden stool.

But the antique stall in front of him was clearly occupied by an old man dressed in a dark blue-gray outfit from the last century, wearing black sunglasses, making him look like a blind man.

In front of him, a tattered cloth, about the size of two towels, was spread out, on which were placed many copper coins and some old-looking trinkets.

The most eye-catching items were the pair of mandarin duck jade pendants and a jade bracelet.

Next to the old man was a little girl of about five or six years old. When she saw someone coming, she immediately called out, "Sister, do you want to buy something? Ten copper coins a piece, very cheap!"

"Ten copper coins? That's too cheap!" Lin Zheng exclaimed.

This is an antique!

Even if there were many copper coins in ancient times, they wouldn't be so cheap as to cost ten yuan a coin now, would they?

Yang Wan quickly explained: "These copper coins are basically modern imitations and are worthless."

It's unlikely that genuine ancient bronze coins would appear at this kind of street stall; they would have already been collected by someone else.

Think about it, how much does copper cost per pound? Around 20 yuan, right? One pound of copper can make hundreds of copper coins...

"Hey, do you still think copper coins are expensive?"

After hearing her explanation, Lin Zheng suddenly understood.

As expected, the antique business is a very complex and murky place.

If it's the first time he's encountered such a stall, he'll definitely buy them all.

"Little girl, these things of mine were collected years ago. Some are real, some are fake. To be honest, most of them are fake. If you see anything you like, buy one for good luck."

The blind old man chuckled and directly revealed that all his goods were fake.

"Let's take a look first."

Yang Wan did not feel pity for the old man with a little girl and buy her the baby. Instead, she squatted down, holding up her skirt.

Actually, she had her eye on something: the pair of jade pendants in the mandarin duck pattern on the stall.

It's very retro, and judging from its shape, you can tell at a glance that it's an ancient couple's item, the kind used as a token of love.

"Wanwan, can you buy me something? I see a pair of jade pendants that look nice, could you buy them for me?"

Lin Zheng spoke at just the right moment.

"Oh? You want to buy this?"

Yang Wan picked up the mandarin duck jade pendant and gently touched it; it felt quite nice.

However, to her surprise...

Lin Zheng actually took a liking to something she also liked.

What is this? Is it telepathy?

"What do you want to do with this?" she asked deliberately.

Lin Zheng naturally couldn't say that this thing was an antique worth 35.

He casually remarked, "I think this thing has a pretty unique design, so I'll buy it to play with."

"Oh? Is it that pair of jade pendants? These cost 1500." The old man suddenly spoke up.

"What? You're selling a fake one for 1,500 yuan?" Yang Wan exclaimed in surprise.

Seemingly aware that his price was high, the old man chuckled and said, "I bought this twenty years ago for over three hundred yuan. It's worth at least 1500 yuan now."

I had someone examine it, but unfortunately, they all said it was fake, just an ordinary piece of jade, and they'd only offer me 500 at most.

So, I'm not ripping you off by selling it for 1,500; after all, I can't afford to lose money, right?

Yang Wan pouted, not believing the old man's words at all.

In antique markets, believing what others say is tantamount to handing over your wallet to them.

Besides, with 1,500 yuan, wouldn't it be better for her to just buy it directly?

However... she really does have that much money, and she really likes these jade pendants.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to ask Lin Zheng what he meant.

"So now you know, this thing is fake, and it's very expensive. Are you still going to buy it?"

Lin Zheng was also in a difficult situation.

You say you should buy it, but everyone tells you that buying this is a waste of money.

What if he really buys it, but the old man suddenly stops selling it?

Saying you won't buy it would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?

In desperation, he came up with an idea.

"The jade pendants are a pair, one for a man and one for a woman. I imagine that, under the moonlight as smooth as silk, even though we are thousands of miles apart, the thought of her wearing the same jade pendant would warm my heart."

The incident happened suddenly, and this was the only idea he could think of to buy the jade pendant for the time being.

As expected, Yang Wan smiled sweetly upon hearing this.

The moonlight shines like silk, yet people are thousands of miles apart.

Isn't that describing her?

So... he misses her that much?

"Okay, I'll buy it then, hehe~."

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately pulled out a QR code from his person.

Clearly, a professional crafts vendor...

At this moment, he was probably secretly delighted. He had bought the item for a few dozen yuan and sold it for over a thousand, making a huge profit.

Yang Wan knew that buying this was a bad deal.

But one can't resist someone's "length is a thousand miles."

"You don't need to transfer the money to me. I'll give it to you as a token after you come to Jiangcheng."

The girl smiled and waved the jade pendants in her hand, then hung one of them around her neck.

Lin Zheng, who was in the video, was stunned when he saw this scene.

Ugh!

I should have realized it a long time ago.

Even without a video call, the wealthy Yang Wan would eventually buy the pair of jade pendants.

Perhaps, this is fate.

"Little Wanwan, it seems that we will definitely meet in parallel worlds."

He muttered something to himself, a smile spreading across his face.

Chapter 119? What? Breakup season? What does that have to do with me?

On June 7th, in the morning, I studied Chinese. The questions were easy, and I performed as expected. Everything seemed to be going well.

After the math exam in the afternoon, there was a chorus of groans, and some students even threatened to jump off buildings.

He is a student in Class 1, who studies for more than 15 hours a day and has above-average grades.

However, the math test was very difficult this time, which caused him to underperform. He usually scores around 130, but this time he probably only scores around 90.

"Daddy, Mommy, the wind on the rooftop is so strong! I'm so scared! Waaaaah..."

It took Uncle Hat and the parents a long time to persuade him to come down from the rooftop.

The next day, in the morning, English was taught, and those who were good at English were all smiles again.

The afternoon's combined science exam was a nightmare!

This explains why the cutoff score for first-tier universities is about 30 points higher in odd-numbered years and difficult years compared to even-numbered years.

After finishing his work, Lin Zheng left the school early and waited at the school gate.

He sent messages to Jiang Luoyu and Wei Yang, saying that it was his grandmother's birthday today and he had to go back to the county town.

At the school gate, private cars bound for various counties wait.

Many parents who come to accompany their children during the college entrance examination will go home after the exam.

These drivers, who already knew exactly when and where they could make money, naturally flocked to the area.

At the school gate, several couples were embracing each other reluctantly.

The end of the college entrance exam is also breakup season.

"Hey~! I knew it, why bother with dating in high school? See? It'll break up sooner or later."

Suddenly, a dark-skinned fat man next to Lin Zheng said gloatingly.

Lin Zheng looked at him, pointed to himself, and said uncertainly, "Dude, are you talking to me?"

"Ugh, aren't we waiting for the bus? I'm so bored."

Hey? Look, look over there! That young couple, the girl must have broken up with him, and the guy, unwilling to accept it, actually knelt down!

"Holy crap, I have to take a picture right now!"

He got excited and immediately took out his phone to take pictures of other people's breakups.

"Hey buddy, are you sick or something? Why are you getting so worked up about someone else's breakup?"

Lin Zheng was amused by his strange behavior.

"Damn it! I haven't found a girlfriend in three years, shouldn't I gloat and kick him while he's down?"

The dark-skinned, overweight man uttered a resentful remark, as if to vent his anger, and then snapped a few more photos.

While he was taking photos, Jiang Luoyu, dressed in a school uniform, quietly came up behind Lin Zheng.

A pair of long, slender, and delicate hands covered his eyes from behind.

Upon feeling the girl's hand, Lin Zheng didn't hesitate; he turned around, wrapped his arms around her, and pulled her into his embrace.

"Oh dear, so many people!" Jiang Luoyu said coquettishly.

Her voice immediately caught the attention of the dark-skinned, overweight man. He turned his head and looked over, his expression instantly one of astonishment.

"Isn't this... isn't that... school beauty Jiang Luoyu?" he exclaimed in surprise.

It's clear that some guys who can't get girls but really want a girlfriend know the identities and names of all the pretty girls at school like the back of their hand.

Lin Zheng and Jiang Luoyu couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

With time running out, the two embarked on their own "high school graduation breakup season."

"Sigh~, it's my grandma's birthday today, and I have to go back soon. I don't know when I'll be able to get back to the city."

Then next week I'm going to Jiangcheng for a summer camp, which will last for a month...

Little Yuyu, you might not see me for a whole month!

Lin Zheng sighed deliberately.

"If I can't see him, I can't see him. It's not like I'll never see him again. I'll just take a few days off and then go to work a summer job to earn some living expenses before I go to university."

Jiang Luoyu's expression was gloomy, but she still pretended not to care.

I'm with Lin Zheng every day, and suddenly we have to be apart for so long.

In reality, she was very sad and heartbroken.

Simply put, I'm very reluctant to part with it.

"By the way, what did you promise me last time?" Lin Zheng suddenly asked.
