26, twenty-sixth star(1/2)

After He Shichen and Chu Qianli signed the contract, the two lived peacefully at home for a period of time without telling their parents.

Yu Xin and He Zhenghe didn't know about the private contract between the two parties, nor did they know about Chu Qianli's various little tricks at school.

He Shichen usually turned a blind eye to Chu Qianli's outrageous behavior. He always felt that there was no point in complaining to his parents, so he simply turned the page lightly, but it didn't work to let him go freely, and he quickly found new things.

In the living room, He Shichen was slowly flipping through a book on the sofa when he suddenly heard the rapid ringing of the phone.

Aunt Li rushed out in a hurry. She answered the phone and responded politely: "Yes, yes, if it is express delivery, someone will deliver it...what? Okay, that's fine."

He Shichen looked up suspiciously and saw Aunt Li going out in a hurry, not knowing where she was going after answering the phone.

Not long after, noisy sounds came from the door of the villa, and a group of strangers in uniforms arrived. They carried huge, fully packed boxes and gathered at the door.

Aunt Li came back from ‌ in a hurry. She embarrassedly approached He Shichen, hoping that he could help sign for the things he had sent.

"Oops, I originally asked you to sign for it, but they had to ask someone from home to sign it, otherwise they can't deliver the goods with confidence!" Aunt Li said with a headache.

He Shichen stood up in surprise: "What is it?"

"I don't know. He looks so big."

At the door, He Shichen looked at the uniformly dressed and well-trained group of people with suspicion. He took the receipt form from the leader and hesitated: "Did you deliver it? Is it payable on delivery?"

He Shichen didn't understand why Aunt Li couldn't sign for him. He took a closer look and found that it was not an ordinary express delivery, but a high-end organization delivering the goods in person. He felt even more strange.

The delivery leader was very polite. He explained patiently: "It's either that it's paid on delivery, the payment has already been made, or you need to confirm your identity to receive the goods."

Aunt Li is not considered a member of the family, and the agency stipulates that she cannot collect on behalf of the family.

He Shichen signed casually and handed the bill back.

The leader lowered his head to look at the name. He couldn't help but look suspicious and asked: "Is your surname He?"

"right."

"Sorry, wait a moment. I'll call to check. The recipient's surname is Chu." The leader took two steps to the side and started to dial the phone to check the recipient's information.

When He Shichen heard this, he understood instantly. He hurriedly stopped him and said in a low voice: "No need to call, my surname is Chu, no problem."

The delivery leader refused to listen to the explanation. He insisted on checking the information and did not know who to call. After confirming that it was correct, he finally put the goods down.

Everyone moved the huge box into the courtyard with difficulty, and finally placed the huge thing properly.

The delivery leader said thoughtfully: "Where do you want to place the ‌? We can help you move it away."

He Shichen looked at the astonishing express delivery that had not yet been unpacked, and said blankly: "What is this? A work of art statue?"

The group of people carried the box directly to the yard. It seemed that it was not something that could be placed inside the house.

The delivery leader lowered his head to read the message and replied seriously: "Huntian Zodiac."

He Shichen: "?"

As a top student, He Shichen's history study was pretty good. He knew that the armillary sphere was an ancient astronomical observation instrument, which fit the category of Chu Qianli's nonsense.

He Shichen thought about the rigorous delivery process, frowned slightly, and asked, "Isn't this a cultural relic?"

The leader laughed and said: "Hahaha, you are really good at joking. Of course it cannot be a cultural relic."

He Shichen breathed a sigh of relief.

The leader continued: "‌We are replicating the historical relics one-to-one in gold. The ancient armillary zodiacal instrument was all copper-plated with gold. This one is made of real gold, so of course it is different!"

He Shichen suddenly felt something bad and asked tentatively: "...gold?"

The leader nodded: "Yes, it is completely made of gold, so we dare not deliver it casually."

Even if it is an armillary sphere, its essence is still gold. If it is destroyed and stolen, it will be over.

He Shichen: "???"

"Where did she get so much money to buy this!?" He Shichen said in disbelief, then lowered his voice and realized in a broken voice, "Wait, it seems I gave it to you..."

He Shichen has been learning practical skills from He Yuanyang, and he has accumulated a lot of savings over time. Even Yu Xin and He Zhenghe don't know the specific amount.

He is serious and rigid, and extremely despises the rich second generation who spend money to buy sports cars. He believes that his own strength surpasses everything. In terms of form, he is certainly not a lavish spender. In a sense, his character is closer to that of the rich generation who made their fortune from scratch, rather than being a lavish spender.

Backed by the rich second generation of the family.

He Shichen didn't think much about it when he gave the money. He was not a spender. He guessed that Chu Qianli would squander it, but he didn't expect her to buy this.

Others buy luxury sports cars and drive them out to show off their wealth, but she placed a golden armillary sphere in the courtyard to attract thieves!

After a while, Chu Qianli came home happily. She jumped up and down the stairs, but was stopped by He Shichen.

In the living room, He Shichen waved to her and said expressionlessly: "Come here, let's talk."

"Let's chat?" Chu Qianli jumped down from the stairs and walked over with curiosity on her face.

He Shichen pointed to the golden armillary sphere outside the window and said coldly: "Explain this."

"Ah, I almost forgot, he just called and said it was delivered!" Chu Qianli jumped out happily. She couldn't wait to push open the floor-to-ceiling window, wanting to run into the yard to observe the armillary sphere.

"That's not the point at all!" He Shichen stood up angrily, followed her into the courtyard, and said angrily, "Why would you buy such a thing!?"

He Shichen didn't want to be a person who was moody and angry, but her outrageous behavior frequently refreshed his understanding. He didn't know why she wanted to buy it, nor why she could buy it online. He deeply felt that the popularity of online shopping was spoiling contemporary children.

.

Chu Qianli said pitifully: "Because it is the Huntian Zodiac?"

He Shichen: "So? Why can't you buy gold-plated copper? Why do you have to buy gold?"

Chu Qianli opened her arms. She faced the armillary sphere and said vividly: "Brother, gold is the product of the collision of stars. The explosion of former stars has evolved into new stars. Only these heavy elements will remain on the earth. Use it to

Making an armillary sphere is the ultimate romantic aesthetic. How can gold-plated copper compare to gold? Gold is the remains of past stars..."

He Shichen rubbed his temples with a headache and said calmly: "So you can use gold to measure it more accurately?"

Chu Qianli: "No, gold is soft and may not be as accurate as copper plating."

He Shichen: "..." So what happened to you just now?

Chu Qianli touched his chin: "‌I wasn't sure if I had the money to buy it the day I saw it. Wow, I just paid and found out that I could actually use it. ‌I was quite surprised!"

He Shichen: "…………"

Chu Qianli's surprise was He Shichen's shock.

He Shichen now understood that Chu Qianli said that he could not keep his wealth. If he gave her ten yuan, she could spend it and live well. If he gave her one billion, she could spend it and live well.

Money is like a virtual number in Chu Qianli's head. She doesn't care what the number is. Anyway, she can live no matter what the number is. In the village, she has the village's way of life, and in the He family, she has the He family's way of life.

He Shichen turned around and went back to the house with a heavy face. He was not in the mood to scold her and said in a cold voice: "I will give you a payment once a year from now on. Normally you should spend the living expenses given by your parents."

Chu Qianli was shocked: "Why!?"

"Because you lack the correct concept of consumption now." He Shichen said sarcastically, "I'm afraid that I have to give you money every month. After a while, you buy a spaceship and then say it's convenient for watching the stars."

"You are overthinking. The money you are given now cannot buy a spaceship."

"...So are you really considering this matter?"

"..."

He Shichen made up his mind and kept his promise. As expected, he did not pay Chu Qianli monthly. He would only tell her the monthly income and indicate that he would pay it off in one lump sum during the Chinese New Year.

Chu Qianli was forced to save by the money printing machine, and she became depressed for a while.

In class, Chu Qianli complained to her classmates, and then complained: "Just say that you can't get over this matter!"

"Ah, this..." Tan Muxing hesitated. He felt guilty now and didn't know whether it was Chu Qianli or He Shichen who was separated.

Although it was pitiful that Chu Qianli was restricted from spending, the things she did were indeed amazing.

Tan Muxing heard that my brother-in-law bought a sports car to go to nightclubs, but I didn’t hear that he spent a lot of money to buy the Huntian Zodiac.

She really doesn't have bad intentions, but it's not right to say she has good intentions.

Chu Qianli lay on the table and sobbed: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah"

Tan Muxing comforted him in a good-tempered way: "No, you still have income from divination."

"No, the money is not enough. I just thought he would give it to me, so the divination fee is not high." Chu Qianli scrolled through the page on his mobile phone in distress, "I also wanted to buy a gold sundial, but he messed up my fortune like this.

Original plan!"

Chu Qianli's fees at school and online are not high, and his sales volume is not as high as that of He Shichen's stock trading. The Golden Armillary Sphere is mainly funded by the money printing press.

"..." Tan Muxing is Chu Qianli's deskmate and friend, but he doesn't know why he sympathizes with He Shichen.

Tan Muxing suggested: "Can you buy it again when you are 20 years old?"

Chu Qianli looked worried: "What if someone buys it midway?"

Tan Muxing decisively dispelled her doubts, shook his head and said, "No, normal people wouldn't buy this."

Tan Muxing had the same idea as He Shichen. He felt that buying a golden armillary sphere was useless, but he was soft-tempered and could only respect his deskmate's choice.

Chu Qianli began to whine and roll again. She turned over and over in her seat, fearing that the golden sundial would be bought.

Tan Muxing sighed: "Then what if I buy it for you?"

"No..." Chu Qianli lowered his head in frustration, and then whispered, "We have no karma and can't take your things."
