Chapter 112: Chapter 109: Playing with a Deadly Move
As soon as she entered the door, Li Si noticed that the house had undergone a major transformation. Not only were there more appliances and furniture, but even the curtains had been changed to pink, giving the house a girlish vibe. There were also some cute teddy bears, Mickey Mouse, and Paul Frank monkeys placed on the sofa.
"Brother, did you buy all these?"
Leng Mochen nodded, "I had Jiang Feng pick them out. Do you like them? If there’s something you don’t like, once you feel better, we can go choose some together!"
After Li Si was hospitalized, he had sent Jiang Feng to make these purchases. Now, looking at the once empty large house now having a homely feel, he was very satisfied with his work.
Li Si smiled with surprise. She looked around and liked everything; it felt very homey and no longer so empty. She especially loved those adorable bears! Of course, she loved the Paul Frank monkey the most; she definitely wanted to put it in her space later to show Xiao Guai.
"It’s great, I love it! I didn’t expect Jiang Feng, who is usually so quiet, to have such good taste! I’ll have to thank him someday!"
Hearing this, Leng Mochen felt uncomfortable. Why thank Jiang Feng and not him? He looked at her with disappointment, "You only remember to thank him! I was the one who asked him to do all this, you’ve got the wrong person to thank!"
Li Si immediately acted servilely, "Oh brother, don’t take issue with someone as weak and naive as me! I was just offhandedly thanking him! But to you, I owe a grand thanks! Brother, please accept my bow!"
Saying this, she clasped her hands in a traditional gesture from the martial arts world, but Leng Mochen wasn’t amused, "Too late!"
"Why are you like this? Or should I give you a good leg massage later as an apology?" Li Si pouted, "I’m still feeling weak!"
Leng Mochen affectionately tapped her nose, "You’re being melodramatic!"
Still, he let her sit on the sofa, Li Si smilingly cuddled a brown teddy bear, looking up, "Brother, you really care for me!"
"Talkative!" Leng Mochen sat next to her, "Get some good sleep first!"
"I’m not sleepy, brother, not even a bit tired!"
Li Si no longer felt the fatigue she had yesterday, especially after being in the hospital for a week; she was eager to go out for a walk.
"Even if you’re not tired, you need to rest quietly. Did you forget what Director Liu said? You can’t get tired or cold!" he reminded her.
"Oh brother, I’m begging you! I know my own body, after a night’s sleep I’m fine! I’m really eager to go out for a bit, I’ve been suffocating cooped up in the hospital all these days, only able to walk around the vicinity, not daring to go far!"
Li Si shook his arm, and he couldn’t stand her pitiful puppy-eyed look any longer, "Alright then! Go change clothes, and I’ll take you for a walk. Remember to dress warmly! Got it?"
Li Si nodded eagerly, "I promise to fulfill the mission Big Brother has given me!" She quickly went back to her room.
Watching her back, Leng Mochen shook his head helplessly. How did he allow his heart to soften?
On Wangfujing Street, Li Si pulled the cold-faced Leng Mochen around, looking into interesting shops and having a lot of fun!
With the crowd bustling, Leng Mochen frowned, afraid she might catch something after just donating bone marrow, since her body was still weak!
"Girl, shall we drop by Long Wu’s shop?"
Li Si nodded with excitement, "Great! Is Brother Long’s shop nearby? Where is it?"
"You’ll know when we get there!" Leng Mochen led Li Si through the crowd, back to the car, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Si closed her mouth and stopped asking, watching the scenery outside the window as time passed quickly. Soon they arrived at an antique-style shop.
Getting out of the car, Li Si exclaimed in a low voice, "So grand!" She saw a two-story building with a Ming and Qing style, a signboard reading "Zhen Gu Pavilion." To open such an eye-catching antique shop in this prime land, Long Wu truly had substance!
Leng Mochen got out without hearing Li Si’s murmurs, "Let’s go!"
The two walked in, and Li Si looked around curiously. The shop was filled with various calligraphy and painting, antique ornaments, and all kinds of jade jewelry in the display cases.
A middle-aged man in a gray long gown with a mustache eagerly bypassed her and rushed straight to Leng Mochen, respectfully saying, "Young Master Leng! How come you’re free today?"
Leng Mochen glanced at him indifferently, "Is Long Wu here?"
"Young Master Long is upstairs! Please, Young Master Leng!" He made a bowing gesture.
Leng Mochen led the still-dazed Li Si up the stairs. The antique-style stairs, Li Si lightly touched the handrail, and upon reaching the second floor, was a spacious hall surrounded by a circle of treasure cabinets, all separated by a layer of transparent glass.
Long Wu sat in a boss chair, and upon seeing them, teased with a smile, "Leng Er, rare guest! Finally willing to come back to the capital? Sisi, got some treasures again?"
Leng Mochen snorted softly, "Even if I had treasures, I wouldn’t sell them to you!"
Li Si found it amusing to watch them banter, sensing their deep brotherly bond.
"Sisi, you see, your Brother Leng holds grudges! Last time I did get a bargain buying that Emperor Green jade from you! Tell you what, anything in this room, pick something you like as a gift!"
Long Wu pretended to be generous, and Li Si quickly waved her hand, "No need!" How could she comfortably choose anything, and besides, she wasn’t really interested in these things!
But Leng Mochen saw in his eyes a sense of distress, wanting to put a spot on him.
"Girl, since your Brother Long sincerely wants you to choose, don’t disrespect him. See that jade sculpture behind him? It’s quite nice!"
He pointed to a white jade with a skin Three Sheep Bring Prosperity ornament, with white jade skin, a three-dimensional round carving of three sheep reclining together. The big sheep spews auspicious clouds and yin-yang fish, all three have long, curved horns, with knots, and appear peaceful.
Long Wu’s expression changed immediately, hastily saying, "Leng Er, that won’t do, pick something else! Sister, look around and see what you like?"
Li Si laughed heartily, having already noticed Leng Mochen was just teasing him, "Brother Long, I don’t want anything, my brother’s just messing with you!"
Long Wu pretended to wipe non-existent sweat from his forehead, looking at Leng Mochen, "Leng Er, you’re jokingly ruthless! If I give this to your sister today, our old man at home will clean me up!"
Leng Mochen subtly curled his lips, "The girl just donated stem cells yesterday, shouldn’t you, as her brother, show some kind of gesture?"
Long Wu looked at Li Si in shock, "No way? Sister, did you really go be a Lei Feng? Can’t be, Leng Er, didn’t I help you investigate? That Deng Hui was a fake!"
"Brother Long, he was fake, but someone needing a marrow transplant was real! This thing is a bit complicated; it’s hard to explain in a few words! How about it? Treat me to something delicious, to give me a little boost?"
Li Si explained that the situation was complicated and that she really couldn’t discuss it in detail with Long Wu. (To be continued.
