On the way down the mountain, Chen Jing took the initiative to chat with Kong Xue on various topics, including everything from far and wide.

And Kong Xue was able to respond to the above two sentences. After all, she has a good academic background, rich life experience, and high quotient. Just chatting casually made Chen Jing feel very happy and comfortable.

This is the charm of a mature older sister.

There are still some residents living on Jinfeng Mountain, so there is a small market on the mountainside that can meet the daily needs of these residents on the mountain.

Kong Xue often came to Jinfeng Mountain and was familiar with it. She took Chen Jing to the small market, found a noodle shop, and said, "The noodles here taste very good."

The two ordered noodles and sat at the table outside the noodle shop, waiting for the noodles to be cooked while continuing to chat.

"By the way, Xiao Chen, how old are you exactly?" Kong Xue was sweating slightly after walking for a while. She asked seemingly casually while holding a tissue to suck the sweat from her temples and forehead.

Chen Jing's heart moved slightly, and he vaguely guessed the meaning of Kong Xuewen's words. He hesitated for a moment and answered: "This year is 22."

Upon hearing this number, Kong Xue nodded as usual, but fell silent.

"Ahem, that Sister Xue..." Chen Jinggang was about to ask how old Kong Xue was, but he felt that it was not good to ask the age of the opposite sex like this.

Fortunately, Kong Xue didn't care about this and heard what Chen Jing wanted to ask. She smiled generously and said: "I am 28 this year. I will be a middle-aged woman in my thirties soon. You can still call me a teenager."

Woolen cloth."

"No way. I think thirty is the most beautiful age for a woman. How can she be called a middle-aged woman?" Chen Jing heard that Kong Xue was saying that the age gap between the two was too big, and hurriedly said.

In fact, what he said is correct. Thirty is indeed the most beautiful age for a woman, but it is just one of them, because eighteen is also the most beautiful age for a woman.

Eighteen years old is youthful and beautiful, and thirty years old is mature and mellow.

Kong Xue chuckled lightly, without commenting on Chen Jing's words, and then asked: "Xiao Chen, you are only 22 years old, you should be a junior or senior, why are you working now?"

"Oh, I encountered some unlucky things." Chen Jing had nothing to hide from Kong Xue, and took advantage of breakfast time to tell all about his experience of being expelled from school.

After Kong Xue heard this, she also slightly frowned her pretty eyebrows and said, "Your school is really going too far."

Chen Jing shrugged: "I can't help it. Who made that guy's family rich and powerful? I, a poor student, can't fight against him."

"Xiao Chen." Kong Xue's expression suddenly became serious. She looked at him with a pair of very beautiful eyes and said, "There will always be various setbacks in life. Some setbacks may be caused by things you have never thought about.

Yes, but don’t be knocked down by setbacks. I think you are very good and you will definitely achieve great results in the future.”

Chen Jing felt a little happy when he heard this. Although he had long since overcome the frustration of being expelled from school, being encouraged by someone he liked still felt different in his heart.

"Well, thank you, Sister Xue." Chen Jing responded happily.

The two of them had breakfast, and it was actually quite early. Chen Jing took the opportunity to ask for a stroll in this small market, and Kong Xue happily agreed.

Although this small market has a small print, its actual area is no smaller than some commercial streets, and the items sold are relatively affordable. Some local products are quite difficult to buy in the city.

"Boss, how do you sell this tea?" Kong Xue stopped in front of a tea stall and asked aloud.

The stall owner responded: "Eighty one pounds, this is Xiuya tea, it's very good."

Kong Xue nodded, as if she wanted to buy some, and squatted down to carefully select.

Chen Jing didn't understand tea, so he couldn't give him any advice. He had to stand aside and wait for Kong Xue while looking around casually.

At this moment, a familiar feeling suddenly appeared in Chen Jing's heart.

He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that this was the mysterious intuition he had when picking up leaky blue and white porcelain bowls and crickets!

The emergence of this feeling means that there are valuable things nearby that can be picked up. Chen Jing was afraid that this feeling would disappear, so he quickly let himself go and followed this mysterious intuition.

Soon, Chen Jing stopped in front of a stall near the tea stall.

This is actually an antique stall, but the stall is not big and is located on the corner of the street. Chen Jingguang was chatting with Kong Xue just now, but he didn't notice it.

Chen Jing's eyes fell on an object on the stall.

At this time, there was a bald man in his thirties who was picking something at the antique stall. When Chen Jinggang wanted to reach out and pick up the object he saw, the bald man took it in his hand first.

Chen Jing's heart skipped a beat, but his expression didn't change.

"What is this?" the bald man who picked up the object asked the stall owner.

The stall owner glanced at it and said casually: "Ruby, you can't tell."

"It looks very beautiful. How much does it cost?"

"This is an authentic ruby, at least eight thousand." The stall owner said with a smile.

The bald man took a sip and said, "You are robbing me. If this thing is a real gem, I will take your surname."

After saying that, he put the objects in his hands back on the stall. Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief and squatted beside the stall calmly.

"Look around, they are all good." The stall owner greeted Chen Jing when he saw him.

Kong Xue, who had bought tea at this time, did not see Chen Jing. She looked around and found his figure, and walked over, saying with a smile on her face: "Xiao Chen, did you see anything good?"

She knew that Chen Jing worked in an antique shop, so she didn't feel surprised at all when she saw him running to the antique stall.

When the bald man saw Kong Xue, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes almost went straight.

"I'll just take a look." Chen Jing responded to Kong Xue with a smile, while inadvertently holding the ruby-like object in his hand.

Kong Xuerou smiled grandly and nodded. Her extremely beautiful appearance almost made the bald man next to her eyes pop out. He couldn't help but say, "Can I meet this beauty?"

"No." Kong Xue glanced at him, her originally smiling face immediately turned cold, and she spoke in a slightly cold tone.

She has rich experience in dealing with this kind of conversation.

The bald man froze for a moment and snorted in annoyance.

Chen Jing also looked back at the bald man, but seeing that Kong Xue dealt with it easily, he said nothing and focused on looking at the object in his hand.

This is a bead that is rose red in color and looks like crystal. It is about the size of half an egg. Although it is brightly colored, it has no luster, and it feels clearly not jade when touched on the hand.
