Master Li heard the voices outside and came out with a teapot in hand.
He is over Liujia and has gray hair on his temples. He is wearing a blue Tang suit and has two silver threads hanging from his reading glasses.
Master Li adjusted his glasses: "Qianchen."
Xia Qianchen hurriedly turned around and said hello with a smile.
When he heard Xia Qianchen explain his purpose and presented a painting, Master Li seemed very happy and led them into the house.
Various old-fashioned clocks are placed or hung everywhere in the hall.
There are all kinds of strange things, from all ages, and the biggest tower clock makes a clanging sound.
Rhodes carefully took out a box and opened the lid.
Master Li took a magnifying glass and looked up and down: "This clock is very ordinary."
Rhodes replied: "Yes, it's just an ordinary clock."
But the meaning is extraordinary.
Xia Qianchen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was a unique clock in the world and Master Li couldn't repair it.
"Then can you fix it? It's broken like this."
"It can be repaired, but it requires replacing a lot of parts...Look at the parts that are so damaged that they are completely unusable."
"Can't find the parts?" Xia Qianchen asked.
"You can take it out of my other clocks and put it on."
Xia Qianchen knew that these clocks were Master Li's treasures and could not be touched by outsiders. Master Li usually had nothing to do, so he would use a handkerchief to wipe these clocks carefully.
It is said that every time one of these Zhongli masters gets one, he has a special journey, which can be regarded as his memoirs.
Xia Qianchen said coquettishly: "Teacher Li, I know these clocks are of great significance to you, but you have so many memories, how about giving up a small piece? And he only has this memory, which is very precious."
Master Li laughed twice: "Is he your boyfriend?"
"Yes." You can only say this, otherwise Master Li will not agree at all.
"I can see you love him very much."
"yes."
"Finally, our little Qianchen has grown up and fallen in love." Master Li sighed, as if lamenting the passage of time, "I am getting old too."
"Teacher Li, you are not old, you will always be young in my heart." Xia Qianchen smiled playfully and gave a thumbs up.
Master Li put down his glasses and said: "Okay, I will help your boyfriend fix this clock! Anyway, I am old and I can't remember so many memories."
Xia Qianchen smiled and said some more words of praise for Master Li.
He kept smiling and was very happy.
"Okay, take your boyfriend for a walk around the area. It's autumn, and the fruits in the apple forest are all ripe. It's a fun time. You haven't come to my place to play in a long time. Do you want to go there for a walk?"
"Then when can you repair this clock?"
"It should be fixed before dark."
"So soon?" Xia Qianchen thought she would come over to pick it up in a few days.
"Are you not in a hurry?"
Rhodes immediately said: "Urgent, very urgent."
They were in a hurry. After repairing it, they would just hang it back. However, Xia Qianchen understood their feelings. After all, it was an important thing. Even if it was broken, it would not be safe to put it in the hands of others.
Rhodes stayed to watch Master Gu Li repair the clock, while Xia Qianchen took Young Emperor Nangong to the courtyard.
The grape trellises were full of fruits. Xia Qianchen only had to reach out and pick them, and she would be able to eat delicious grapes.
Recalling that when she was a child, Master Li's home was her and Qianyu's favorite place. Especially in spring and autumn, when the flowers were fragrant and the fruits were ripe in autumn.
It felt like Young Emperor Nangong had been looking at her with strange eyes.
Xia Qianchen turned around and bumped into his chest.
Xia Qianchen rubbed her nose: "Why are you following me so closely?"
Young Emperor Nangong came over and quickly bit her nose, with a fox-like sly light flashing in his eyes: "What did you just say that I am you?"
Xia Qianchen's heart sank slightly: "I hope you don't mind. If I didn't say that, Teacher Li would definitely not agree to help you repair the clock easily."
"Just because of this?"
"What else could it be because of?"
Nangong Young Emperor's face darkened.
"Why are you unhappy again?"
Young Emperor Nangong grabbed the peaked cap on her head and pulled it down hard, causing the brim of the hat to collapse and cover her eyes.
Xia Qianchen put his hat on the table: "If you mind this very much, I will clarify it after the clock is repaired."
Young Emperor Nangong glared at her with a stern look: "Did I ask you to clarify?"
"That's not it?"
"Pick grapes for me to eat!"
Since he is so tall, it is obviously easier to pick.
Xia Qianchen walked under a low hanging shelf and picked a bunch of grapes.
"Strip it to me." He sat on the couch like a young man and pointed at his legs.
Xia Qianchen had no choice but to walk over and sit on his lap, peeling off the skin one by one and feeding it to him.
"Is it sweet?"
"You want to try?"
Xia Qianchen peeled off one grape and was about to put it in her mouth. Young Emperor Nangong grabbed her wrist and forcibly ate the grape too.
Xia Qianchen frowned. It had been so long, the sun was strong, and she was thirsty.
"I can't even eat one? Well..."
Young Emperor Nangong kissed her and fed her the grapes in his mouth.
Xia Qianchen wanted to vomit. Isn't this disgusting? He gave her something he had in his mouth to eat again?
"If you dare to vomit, try it." A cold voice ordered.
In the middle of the movement, Xia Qianchen raised her face again and stared at him with a depressed expression.
"Swallow it, aren't you thirsty?"
The warning look seemed to say: If you dare not swallow it, just give it a try.
"..." Xia Qianchen had no choice but to swallow it.
Young Emperor Nangong looked satisfied and asked in a low-pitched voice: "Is it sweet?"
How could she know whether it was sweet or not? She didn't even bite it.
"Didn't you eat it?" Young Emperor Nangong said happily, "Peel another one for me."
Xia Qianchen: "Don't you want to do it again?"
"Why, you don't like it?" Young Emperor Nangong seemed to have given her a great favor, "You are the first woman I have ever fed with my mouth."
So should she feel honored? She didn't want to eat his saliva!
"You dislike my saliva?" Young Emperor Nangong's green eyes flashed darkly.
"It's not that I dislike it... You know, pregnant women are inherently sensitive to taste and prone to nausea. I'm afraid I will vomit."
Damn woman, do you think he is an idiot? How dare you use such an excuse to fool him.
Young Emperor Nangong was silent for a moment: "Feed me instead."
Xia Qianchen peeled a grape and was about to feed it to him. He said coldly: "Use the same method just now."
"..." Xia Qianchen, "You want me to feed you with my mouth?"
"Don't worry, I won't dislike your saliva." Young Emperor Nangong said shockingly.
