Lin Xueer sat expressionlessly with Zhou Lixin at the VIP table, staring directly at the auction items on the stage, rather than admiring them, it was better to say she was in a numb daze.
Around him, enthusiastic businessmen kept bidding, and the lively atmosphere inspired Zhou Lixin to follow the bidding. In the end, he bought a piece of "Sun Wen's Five-Character Couplet in Regular Script" with a transaction price of more than 4 million.
.
"Xue'er, what do you think of the calligraphy I took?" Zhou Lixin deliberately asked, showing it in front of Lin Xue'er.
In his opinion, Lin Xueer would definitely feel that spending a high price of four million to buy a work by someone who was not a calligrapher would be a bit of a loss no matter how you think about it.
But in fact, although Sun Wen, the painter of this calligraphy, is not a calligrapher, his special status has made his calligraphy works popular among collectors in recent years.
To give a simple example, a piece of running calligraphy by Sun Wen was auctioned three times in seven years. The initial estimate was only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, but it was finally sold for only 120,000 yuan.
But a few years later, the price of this lot reached more than two million, and it continued to rise in the following days!
Although a large number of Sun Wen's calligraphy works have survived, most of Sun Wen's works that have been circulated among the people since the 1950s and 1960s have long been collected by major museums and memorial halls, so very few of them are put up for auction.
The works currently on the auction block are basically returned to China from overseas, which makes his works invisible and precious.
In the past few years, upper-class collectors paid less attention to this type of calligraphy and painting, so the transaction prices of the works occasionally put up for auction were relatively low. However, in recent years, the popularity and price of this type of calligraphy and painting have increased.
It can be said that it is rising in a straight line.
Especially Sun Wen's works, because of his special status, his calligraphy reaches new highs almost every year. In the past few years, someone even spent more than 10 million to buy two of his characters!
That's why Zhou Lixin was willing to pay a high price of four million to buy a work by someone who was not a famous person in the calligraphy world.
As the eldest lady of the Lin family, Lin Xueer naturally has some insights into calligraphy. If it were in the past, she would definitely make a brief comment.
Judging from the fonts, Sun Wen's works are mainly divided into two types: running script and regular script. The calligraphy is broad and bold, the stipples are thick, the style is quite facial, the structure is flat and oblique, and it has the charm of Su style. The pen is versatile and the handwriting is flowing.
It is beautiful and has a long lasting charm, which is quite reminiscent of Su Dongpo's poems.
However, for such a calligraphy work worthy of careful appreciation, Lin Xueer just answered mechanically: "Very good."
When she said this, there was no hesitation or emotion at all. This blunt tone was different from her previous arrogant and cold attitude. It was more like an obedient and numb person answering without thinking.
Originally, he was very excited to snap such a collection and wanted to share his joy with the people around him, but Lin Xueer's empty and lifeless look made him feel like he was talking to a robot.
.
Zhou Lixin curled his lips, muttered a few curses, turned his head again, and focused on the auction items.
After a while, when he took another photo of a collection and wanted to share his joy, he turned his head and saw that beautiful but empty little face, and suddenly lost interest again.
Damn it, I obviously got Lin Xueer, but why do I feel worse than before?
Zhou Lixin was distraught and looked at the beauties around him hatefully.
Under the dim light, Lin Xueer was wearing a black tube top dress. The fabric with excellent texture tightly wrapped her delicate body, showing all the graceful concavities and convexities, exuding an alluring charm.
Although the hollow look on her face made people feel somewhat distant, her hot figure still inspired Zhou Lixin's most primitive desires.
Therefore, Zhou Lixin, who was originally in a somewhat annoyed mood, after admiring this extremely beautiful body for a while, the clouds in his heart suddenly disappeared, and a feeling of heat arose in his heart.
He smiled sinisterly, rubbed his hands, and had a mean look on his face. It was obvious at a glance that he was definitely not thinking of any good ideas in his mind.
In fact, Zhou Lixin does have some evil thoughts.
Although Lin Xueer is no longer as agile as before, let alone interesting, fortunately, she is completely obedient to him.
With such a sexy and submissive beauty by your side, wouldn't it be a waste not to do anything?
Thinking of this, Zhou Lixin swallowed, gently stretched out his hand, and placed it on those white and delicate little hands.
As a warm touch came, Zhou Lixin even smelled a charming body fragrance. He quietly took a look at Lin Xueer and saw that she still looked dull, without any intention of resisting. He felt even more excited in his heart.
There was a burst of excitement.
Although he and Lin Xueer have known each other for so many years and were classmates in college, it was the first time for him to be so close to this exquisite body!
At this time, the light in the venue was dim, and the two of them were sitting in the VIP seats at a high place. The movements of his hands would not have been noticed at all unless someone paid careful attention.
Looking at the obedient and obedient stunning beauty in front of him, Zhou Lixin's eyes were so hot that he almost burst out, and his mouth was even more dry.
He tilted his head slightly and fixed his gaze on Lin Xueer's chest.
The black tube top dress set off the skin as white as snow, and the turbulent waves made him react even more. He wanted to hold her and go back to the hotel next door to vent.
The more Zhou Lixin thought about it, the more unbearable he became. He squinted his eyes, and his handsome face suddenly became a bit wretched.
At the same time, his hand also lifted up from Lin Xueer's little hand, and then slowly stroked up her forearm.
That soft and delicate skin made his heart burst with evil fire. He stared at Lin Xueer's chest, and his big hands went straight towards the peak.
However.
Just when Zhou Lixin's hand was about to touch the peak that made him fascinated, Lin Xueer suddenly stopped his movements, turned her head coldly, and said expressionlessly: "No."
This sudden rejection caused Zhou Li's movements to freeze. It was as if someone had poured cold water on his whole body from beginning to end, and his restless desire was directly extinguished.
The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and his eyes reluctantly moved away from the peak. When he raised his head, he met that stunning little face. However, in those empty beautiful eyes, there was something new at some point.
points of conflict.
Zhou Lixin's face was startled. Didn't Gu Xinlan say that she has fallen in love with him now? Then why would she still resist his caress?
Could it be...
Is the soul-stirring spell ineffective?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously put his hand into his trouser pocket and nervously grasped the piece of insect amber.
"Um... Xue'er, do you feel that the air conditioner in the venue is a bit cold?" Staring at Lin Xue'er's cold eyes, Zhou Lixin smiled guiltily.
"What were you doing just now?" Lin Xueer frowned and stared coldly at Zhou Lixin's hand that was about to touch her chest. Her tone was no longer as submissive as before, but rather cold.
Zhou Lixin felt nervous.
Could it be...that the soul-stirring technique really failed?
