Chapter 235: Chapter 232: Celestial Sound (Fifth Update, Request for Subscription)

Lin Shiyin chuckled.

"Just admit that you’re a life-experience tycoon."

Ye Chen nodded: "You could say that."

After finishing their meal, Ye Chen accompanied Lin Shiyin for some shopping at the mall.

When passing by the Tiffany store, Lin Shiyin’s gaze fell upon a necklace inside.

Even though it was just a glance, Ye Chen could tell that Lin Shiyin really liked it.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Let’s go inside and take a look."

Lin Shiyin nodded.

The two of them entered the store, and Ye Chen walked up to the diamond necklace and asked, "Excuse me, how much does this necklace cost?"

The store clerk said, "Sir, this necklace is our Tiffany 88th-anniversary limited edition. It’s not for sale; it’s a lottery prize that you can enter with a purchase of 188,888 or more."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyin quickly said, "Forget it, Ye Chen. I just looked at it; I’m not that into it."

Ye Chen smiled lightly, "It’s okay, it’s just a lottery."

He casually pointed at a few pieces of jewelry and said, "I’ll take this, this, this, and this."

The store clerk was stunned by Ye Chen’s selection.

Each of the dozen or so pieces was worth around two hundred thousand.

Total spending was two million.

That’s enough to enter the lottery ten times, right?

The store clerk nodded, and Ye Chen smiled and said, "Shiyin, let’s see how your luck is."

Lin Shiyin never imagined that Ye Chen would purchase over two million in jewelry just to win a necklace for her.

"Ye Chen, how could I accept this?"

"There’s no need to feel bad; I’m sure we’ll win it today."

Ye Chen spent over six million before finally winning the necklace.

The store’s Tiffany’s employees were shocked.

Oh my god, this girl is so lucky.

What a lavish guy, buying over six million worth of jewelry just to win a necklace for his girlfriend.

The salespeople on site were envious.

It’s a pity that this wealthy guy isn’t their boyfriend.

Lin Shiyin was very touched.

Six million is not a small amount, even for a wealthy girl like her, but the most important thing was Ye Chen’s heart.

Ye Chen smiled as he fastened the necklace around Lin Shiyin’s neck.

"You look beautiful wearing this necklace."

Lin Shiyin’s face blushed: "Ye Chen, thank you."

If Ye Chen were a DiDi driver, Lin Shiyin definitely wouldn’t accept such an expensive gift.

But since Ye Chen had already demonstrated such capability, and Lin Shiyin had a good impression of him, she accepted it.

As the two were strolling around, they suddenly came across a guqin shop.

"Miss Shiyin, you’re here. We just got a new guqin in the shop. Would you like to try it out?"

Lin Shiyin nodded. She had often visited this store in the past and was familiar with the owner.

She glanced at Ye Chen and smiled, "Ye Chen, let me play a tune for you."

Ye Chen nodded and sat down on the side.

Lin Shiyin’s fingers strummed the strings, and a cheerful melody flowed out.

Previously, Ye Chen wouldn’t have understood, but he had just mastered the skills of the Master of the Guqin, so he could tell Lin Shiyin’s guqin skills had reached a master level.

After she finished the piece, Ye Chen and the shop owner applauded.

"Miss Shiyin, your guqin skills have improved significantly," the owner praised.

Ye Chen suddenly got interested too: "Shiyin, let me play a tune for you as well."

"Ah... you also know how to play the guqin?" Lin Shiyin was taken aback.

It’s rare for guys to know how to play the guqin, so Lin Shiyin was surprised.

Ye Chen smiled lightly, "I learned a bit in the past, just know the basics."

Lin Shiyin smiled, "Okay, play it for me. I can give you some pointers."

A tune appeared in Ye Chen’s mind, and his fingers began to strum the strings.

This piece, "High Mountain and Flowing Water," was a classic masterpiece in a previous life.

The music sounded like a spring in a mountain stream, like the ringing of a jade bell.

The ethereal sound was like the orchid in a valley, and the ancient tones seemed to ride the clouds and wind.

Lin Shiyin was immediately taken aback.

Oh my god, this tune is amazing.

Her guqin skills were already at a master level, but she could tell Ye Chen’s skills surpassed hers.

More importantly, she had never heard this piece before.

Lin Shiyin had studied guqin since she was young and had heard almost every piece.

Could it be that this piece was Ye Chen’s original creation?

Not only was Lin Shiyin captivated, but even the guqin shop’s owner and some potential customers were drawn by Ye Chen’s guqin playing.

When the music ended, there was dead silence in the guqin shop.

Everyone was still lost in the melody of the mountains and streams.

Ye Chen coughed and smiled as he asked Lin Shiyin, "How was my performance?"

Lin Shiyin snapped back to reality, "Ye Chen, you played so well; it was practically a celestial sound."

"Haha, it’s just a hobby. Please, Teacher Lin, give me some pointers."

Lin Shiyin rolled her eyes at Ye Chen, "Give you pointers? I couldn’t even begin to do so with how well you played."

"By the way, Ye Chen, may I use your composition for a competition?"

Ye Chen nodded, "Sure, if you like it, feel free to use it."

A happy smile appeared on Lin Shiyin’s face, "Playing this piece during the competition, I’m sure to win first place."

The two of them strolled for a while longer, and Ye Chen drove Lin Shiyin home.

After their first date, Lin Shiyin liked this mysterious DiDi guy even more.

At the entrance of Wanyuan Manor, Lin Shiyin got out of the car and immediately gave Ye Chen a five-star review.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a Five-Star Review, activating the 1st star of the Five-Star Review (1/5) and receiving the reward of the Master of Dushi skill.]

Just then, Ye Chen’s phone rang; it was a call from Li Rongrong.

"Ye Chen, how come you haven’t contacted me for so long? Got too many beauties around to remember me?"

"No way, I’ve just been busy with filming and managing the company lately."

"By the way, there’s a jade exhibition tomorrow. Can you come with me?"

"Jade exhibition?"

Ye Chen had just acquired the Master of Dushi skill, so it was a perfect opportunity to test it out.

"No problem."

Li Rongrong was browsing in an antique shop, and upon hearing Ye Chen’s agreement, she was immediately pleased.

Just then, a man suddenly walked by her.

Carelessly, he bumped into her.

Li Rongrong was wearing high heels, and as a result, she lost her balance and fell backwards.

Behind her was a shelf with porcelain on it.

As she fell, the shelf toppled over.

Bang!

The porcelain crashed heavily to the ground, shattering into pieces.

On the other end of the call, Ye Chen heard Li Rongrong’s gasp and the sound of breaking porcelain.

Ye Chen hurriedly asked, "Rongrong, what happened?"

Li Rongrong with a troubled expression said, "I messed up."

Ye Chen frowned, "Where are you? I’m coming over now."

"I’m on Antique Street, at Uncle San’s Antique Shop."

At this moment, an elderly man holding a porcelain pot came out and saw the shattered porcelain.

"Rongrong, how could you be so careless? This porcelain is from the Ming or Qing dynasty, worth two million!"
