Volume 1 Chapter 2 Sheepskin Scroll

  After the basketball game, it was already time to get out of school, and classmates rushed to the school gate. Yin Qingchi was too lazy to squeeze in, so he returned to the classroom, waiting until everyone had left before picking up his bag and walking out of the classroom.

  As he passed by the West Garden, Qingchi's heart suddenly started racing wildly. He didn't know why, but he had a strong feeling that his crush, Xia Xinyue, was definitely somewhere nearby.

  Is it telepathy? Does such a mysterious thing really exist?

  Yin Qingchi covered her mouth with her hand and walked towards the small woods behind, holding back her breath.

  Good heavens, it's really her!

  She sat quietly there, leaning against a large tree. The soft orange light of the sunset filtered through the leaves and shone on her rosy little face, emitting a faint golden glow, her bright and clear eyes sparkling like jewels.

  Qingchi was deeply attracted by those eyes, and she stared blankly at them. Her eyes were so big and beautiful that they could hook people's souls away, while that red and moist mouth was small and delicate, like a budding flower bud.

  Wait... her mouth... there's something in her mouth, no, she's holding something between her lips.

  Smoke! That's right... It was actually smoke!

  My god... She's smoking!

  Oh God, why did you create Venus but then take away her arms?

  At that moment, Yin Qingchi felt a pang of loss in his heart, as if he had lost the most precious treasure.

  No, I absolutely won't let her degenerate like this! I'm going to save her!

  Qing Chi was furious and strode forward in large strides, yanking the cigarette out of Xia Xinyue's mouth and trampling it on the ground repeatedly.

  Xia Xinyue watched him with her mouth agape, her eyes wide with wonder, and a bewildered expression on her face that was at odds with her usual elegant demeanor.

  Qing Chi was very satisfied with this effect, clapped his hands and frowned: "Why smoke? From now on, I'll... whenever I see it once..."

  "Are you in cahoots with them?" Xinyue asked coldly.

  "What?" Qing Chi was shocked and turned around to see a large area on the ground, scattered all over, as if they were all friends of Pangzi.

  My god, smoking and fighting...

  Qingchi's heart sank even further.

  "Hmm, doesn't seem like they're in cahoots!"

  Qingchi turned his head, only to see a wave of warm air spray onto the back of his neck, and suddenly his whole body felt like it had been electrocuted, with a dizzy and numb feeling.

  Right before his eyes was Xiang Yue's delicate face, only a few centimeters away from him. Qing Chi was tall and sturdy, over 180 cm, while Xiang Yue stood on her tiptoes, gazing at Qing Chi with affection.

  Qingchi only felt that her heart was like a little rabbit, about to jump out, her whole body temperature rapidly rising, her mind somewhat unclear, as if falling into a five-mile fog, unable to distinguish east from west, unable to tell north from south, and she unknowingly closed her eyes.

  All I felt was a thin, cool thing slipping into my mouth, and there was still a bit of an astringent feeling. It turned out that this was the first kiss... The clear pool was refreshing, and I was immersed in that intoxicating atmosphere.

  "Pfft! Hahaha... I said, silly boy, how long are you going to hold onto that leaf?!" The evildoer next to her finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, "How could my pure and precious first kiss be given to you so easily? Dream on!"

  "Plop, plop! You... you!" Qingchi opened his eyes and quickly spat out the leaves in his mouth.

  "Haha, who am I? My name is Xia Xinyue. You should already know that, right? You're an interesting person, let's be friends! Bye!" With that, Xinyue vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving Qingchi staring blankly into space.

  Yin's Mansion

  "Master, you're back!" Chen Ma smiled and nodded.

  Yin Qingchi handed over the gift box he had prepared in his hand and said, "Chen Ma, take this to Chen Chen. Today is his birthday. This is a gift I promised him a long time ago."

  "This, this won't do, I can't accept it, can't accept it!"

  "Mrs. Chen, please help me out, I won't take no for an answer! I still have to come to your house once, and tonight I have a lot of homework, really can't go! Mrs. Chen~~, just help me out!" Qingchi forced the gift into Mrs. Chen's hands, laughing: "Hehe, Mrs. Chen, please apologize to Chenchen for me, today is really impossible! Don't blame me, okay?"

  "Brother~, you really are kind-hearted, having money to buy gifts for other kids, why not buy some for your own sister?" The speaker was none other than Yin Qingchi's 8-year-old sister, Yin Yue.

  "How would you know the hardships of others, Chen Ma's child Chen Chen got cataracts, because they couldn't afford surgery, one eye is already blind and the other eye's vision is also declining rapidly. Alas, soon to be completely blind."

  "Isn't your brother determined to become a surgeon? Can't you just go and operate on him?" Yin Yue asked casually, her eyes fixed on the TV.

  "I? Let me get into medical school first. Hey, want to know what it's like to be blind? Brother will tell you!" Qingchi said, and then went to cover his sister's eyes.

  "Ugh! Get out of the way!" Yin Yue pushed Qing Chi away and shouted: "Brother, I hate it when you do this! Can't you see I'm watching TV? I'm so thirsty, go make me a cup of coffee, no sugar."

  The clear pool went away with a sigh, thinking, alas, this sister is spoiled, and I am either her brother or her servant.

  She brought back a cup of coffee and suddenly saw a kissing scene between a man and a woman on TV. How can this be allowed for 7 or 8-year-old girls to watch?! Qingchi quickly blocked the TV with her body.

  "Bro! I'm telling you, are you annoying or what?! How old are you this year?! Haven't seen a kiss before?! Do you want me to give you a supplementary lesson on physiology and hygiene?!"

  。。。。。。

  Kids these days...

  Yin's study.

  Tall shelves stood like a forest, row after row, neat and tidy, with a sense of rhythm, making one think they had entered the university library. However, this was merely the Yin family's private study.

  Qingchi often comes here to play when he has nothing to do. He is particularly interested in medical things and aspired to be a doctor since childhood, wanting to become a renowned surgeon who saves lives.

  However, today, Yin Qingchi's mind was in a mess and he couldn't calm down to read. Xinyue's shadow kept jumping around in his mind, like a clever little deer, which seemed approachable from afar but would shake its tail and jump away as soon as you got close.

  Qingchi's heart was extremely conflicted, one voice said that Xinyue wasn't a good girl and he should stop things now, it's not too late to pull the reins. Another voice said that human nature is inherently kind, bad people are only bad because they lack proper guidance, he should help her change her bad habits of smoking and fighting.

  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, to Qingchi, smoking and fighting are just small bad habits, fortunately, Xiangyue doesn't have a habit of killing people.

  Qingchi felt annoyed and randomly pulled out a "Pathology" book, but accidentally knocked over the thick book on top of the dusty shelf.

  "Bang!" The heavy thing weighing over ten kilograms slammed onto the floor.

  Qingchi picked up the book from the clear pool, blew off the dust, and intended to casually flip through a few pages. Unexpectedly, a thick sheet of paper slipped out from within.

  Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an old and tattered sheepskin scroll.

  Qingchi's interest was piqued, heh heh, before his dad had thrown away many useless old antiques, what could this thing be? Could it be a treasure map?
