Wu Shuang asked Mi Yang to take her around and was very satisfied with the place. She was a top student herself and worked as hard as any other student in her class. In addition to the competition, she also started to run a jewelry studio named after herself. Although it was small in scale, it was all the result of her hard work. In a way, she was a workaholic.
I took a quick look in the morning, and when the museum opened in the afternoon, Wu Shuang came again.
This time she did not ask for anyone to accompany her. She went to several exhibition halls that she had liked in the morning by herself. She focused on writing and drawing there, concentrating completely and seriously.
Mi Yang was happy to have some free time. He no longer had to serve as an escort, so he continued to help his senior brothers set up the exhibition hall.
In the afternoon, Wu Shuang found a person in charge of the museum again. He wanted to see some things in the warehouse. Some cultural relics had not been sorted out yet and were only labeled. They would be exhibited in two days. Wu Shuang asked to take a look. The person in charge saw that they happened to be the batch restored by Professor Zhang and his team, so he went to find Miao Liang who stayed behind and asked him to arrange someone to take him to have a look.
Miao Liang responded to a group of reporters in the morning, and some people from the city TV station came in the afternoon to do publicity. He couldn't leave, and when he saw that it was the young lady who came in the morning, he called Mi Yang and said, "Hey, Junior Brother, you've taken the trouble to go there again, come with me and take a look!"
Mi Yang nodded, put down the wooden rack he was carrying, turned around to get the information booklet from the morning, and went to find Wu Shuang.
Wu Shuang saw him and smiled, saying, "You again? What a coincidence."
The person in charge looked at them and smiled: "Ms. Wu knows Mi Yang? That's great, this is..."
"He is Professor Zhang's favorite student, a top student from Beijing." Wu Shuang continued his words with a slight smile on her face. "I have learned from him this morning. The materials he prepared were very thorough. I thought Professor Zhang only worked on his own projects."
The person in charge said: "Mr. Zhang is very kind to us. If we don't understand the manuscripts mentioned by the cultural guides in the museum, we can ask him. The old man is kind-hearted. Seeing that our literature preparation is not very sufficient, he specially spent more than a year to let the students sort it out one by one and hand it in as homework. It really helped us a lot!"
Wu Shuang was a little surprised, "Have you sorted them all out?"
The other party smiled and said, "How can that be possible? There are more than 20,000 cultural relics in the museum. We are very happy that Professor Zhang and his team can help us sort out the first- and second-level cultural relics."
Wu Shuang turned to look at Mi Yang and said, "No matter what, this is a big project."
Mi Yang stood there smiling and nodded, still not saying a word as he did in the morning.
Seeing that they knew each other, the person in charge confidently entrusted Wu Shuang to Mi Yang and asked him to take her to the warehouse in the back.
Mi Yang first took her to the reference room and took out some documents. Wu Shuang took a look at them, then looked up at Mi Yang and asked, "Do you know that I'm looking at gold and silver wares, wood carvings, paintings, and textiles?"
Mi Yang's voice was hoarse, he could not speak, he just smiled and nodded.
Wu Shuang felt that although this big boy didn't talk, he was good at everything he did. He was gentle, with clear and bright eyes, and seemed to be non-aggressive. He was very likable. She also had a good impression of him and felt much more relaxed when getting along with him.
Wu Shuang then said to Mi Yang: "I would also like to borrow some professional books on gold and silverware. Is that convenient?"
Mi Yang nodded, put the information on the table, and took her to get a few books. He carefully wrote on the borrowing list and asked Wu Shuang to sign it.
Wu Shuang bent down to sign, but after putting down the pen, she saw the boy next to her was looking at her.
Wu Shuang was a little confused. She looked down at herself and didn't do anything rude.
Mi Yang hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to unbutton his thin coat.
Wu Shuang was a little nervous, took a step back and asked cautiously: "What are you doing?"
Mi Yang took off his coat, pointed at a place on her silk shirt, handed the shirt to her, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's unraveling." After that, he went to guard the door, leaving his back there, with no intention of turning around.
Wu Shuang was stunned for a moment, then she touched it with her backhand, and after checking, she found that her shirt was damaged somewhere. Her face turned red, and she was about to change Mi Yang's clothes, but she looked up at the back of the person standing at the door, hesitated, and put on the coat outside.
Wu Shuang tidied herself up, took the book and walked over and said, "Thank you, I will return the clothes to you after I wash them tomorrow."
Mi Yang shook his head to show that he was not in a hurry. Seeing that she had no intention of watching any further, he sent her to the door, waved goodbye with a smile, and turned back to work. He had no intention of lingering or talking.
On the contrary, Wu Shuang was a little uncomfortable with being sent out so suddenly. In the past, the people around her would have tried their best to show their courtesy to her. She could tell in their eyes whether they were courting her for her appearance or for her family's money. However, this was the first time she had seen someone like Mi Yang who was so dedicated to doing good things without asking for anything in return. She was used to being on guard outside, so now she felt a little embarrassed. She had also misunderstood Mi Yang in her mind just now.
However, it was only a slight emotional fluctuation. Wu Shuang quickly returned to her normal state and went back to the hotel.
Mi Yang put on a T-shirt and continued to work in the museum. Senior Brother Miao Liang was a man who only cared about the national treasures. He could talk about the documents and materials for a long time looking at the bones in the museum, but he couldn't remember what he wore today, let alone Mi Yang's. So he didn't notice that Mi Yang was missing a piece of clothing. He was still talking to Mi Yang happily: "Junior Brother, I have to thank you very much. If you hadn't found that the small fragment was a little different when you came to help, Master Zhang wouldn't have re-tested it, and this investigation would have unearthed another tomb!"
The last fragment of the ancient city of Gaochang had a new story. When Mi Yang was sorting out the longitude and latitude lines, he found a slight difference, but this also attracted the attention of Professor Zhang. After re-testing, it was found that this fragment was earlier than the previous thangka and was not unearthed from the same tomb.
This chamber was visited by tomb robbers, who destroyed some artifacts, but there may also be some fragments taken from other chambers.
After Professor Zhang and his team tracked the area nearby, they indeed discovered a tomb buried by sandstorms. The initial estimate was that the tomb was from the early Tang Dynasty.
Because of this newly discovered tomb, Zhang stayed in Xinjiang for another year and took his students to rescue the newly discovered tomb. Including today, Zhang took Chen Baiwei to the camp to do the finishing work for this new tomb. Many cultural relics were preserved in a rare and complete way, which surprised the old man.
But because of this, Professor Zhang and Chen Baiwei were busy there for a long time, and the closer they got to the end, the more they had to rush to finish the work. Senior Brother Chen hadn't come back for several days. Mi Yang was slightly relieved. Senior Brother Chen always liked to tease him. He was feeling guilty for doing something "bad" this time, and he really didn't dare to let Senior Brother Chen see that he was speechless.
Thinking of this, he took out another piece of throat lozenge and put it in his mouth.
Chen Baiwei hadn't come back yet, but Young Master Bai had already come over at closing time.
When Mi Yang was carrying his bag and preparing to go back to his residence, he saw a car parked downstairs flashing its lights. After it flashed several times, he realized that it was Bai Luochuan's car. As soon as he walked over, the car door opened. Bai Luochuan asked him to get in, took his backpack, and asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to eat something tonight?"
He said this extremely naturally, not at all like someone who had just come over a day ago.
Mi Yang was still looking at him.
Bai Luochuan pinched his nose and chuckled, "Why don't we go back to the hotel? There's nothing good to eat around here. I'll ask the hotel kitchen to make some light porridge for you, and the steamed fish from last time, okay?"
Mi Yang nodded and smiled with his eyes curved.
The dinner was indeed very much to Mi Yang's liking. In addition to a few light side dishes and chicken porridge, Bai Luochuan also brought him some yogurt lumps that he liked to eat last time. Seeing that he ate half a bowl more, he seemed happier than if he had eaten it himself.
When they went to bed at night, Bai Luochuan still held him tightly. Although he didn't do anything, he felt the intimacy between them even more.
Bai Luochuan kissed his forehead and said with a bit of annoyance: "What should I do? I can't stand not seeing you for a day. I might as well go back with you after a while."
Mi Yang laughed, held his fingers and kissed them.
Bai Luochuan snorted: "You want me to stay and make money, right? Which is more important, money or me?"
Mi Yang pretended to be thinking about it, but within two seconds, Master Bai pressed him on the bed and kissed him twice as if to vent his anger. "How dare you think about it? You are not obedient at all."
Mi Yang smiled and raised his hands to beg for mercy, but after a while, he looked at Bai Luochuan with moist eyes, put his hands around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss.
Bai Luochuan was being eaten alive by him, but he was willing to do it and had no intention of breaking free at all.
He is soft-hearted and does not respond to harshness, and the person in his arms is so soft that it is unbelievable.
Soft and sweet.

When Chen Baiwei and Professor Zhang came back, it was already a few days later. He looked exhausted. After returning to the hotel, he slept for a whole morning before recovering. In the afternoon, he came to the museum and sat aside to pass things to Mi Yang. Occasionally, he rubbed his waist and complained: "I was really exhausted last night."
Mi Yang blinked and looked at him, not daring to speak actively, but his expression showed that he wanted to hear the inside story.
Chen Baiwei saw what he wanted to say at a glance, and smiled and said, "Junior brother, you are so brave. You dare to look at me like this. Are you interested in me?"
Mi Yang immediately denied: "No."
Chen Baiwei touched his chin and said, "There are so many people who like me. You don't have to feel ashamed. Public aesthetics is also a way of expressing beauty. It shows that you have a good aesthetic, don't you understand?"
Mi Yang denied it again: "Really not, I have someone I like." His voice was just right, a little hoarse but it was hardly audible.
Chen Baiwei's attention was also drawn to what he said, and he immediately asked with some interest: "Do you have someone you like? Who is it?"
Mi Yang asked, "Brother, what's wrong with your waist?"
Chen Baiwei said, "Oh, I stayed up late last night to finish a paper. The table over there is too low, and my back and waist ached after lying there all night." He then said, "Don't interrupt me. Tell me, who is your crush on, little junior brother?"
Mi Yang lowered his head to work while saying: "It's someone I have liked since childhood."
Chen Bai smiled and said, "Oh, you're in love too early. I thought you were a good kid who only cared about studying when you were little."
Mi Yang laughed and said, "He is also very good. His academic performance is better than mine."
This is similar to Mi Yang's mate selection criteria. Chen Baiwei knew that this junior was a top student, and top students were generally attracted to top students. He imagined Mi Yang taking his girlfriend on a date and doing homework together in the library, and couldn't help laughing. He asked him, "How did you two meet?"
Mi Yang said: "We have known each other since we were very young."
Chen Baiwei asked, "Have you ever thought that you might fall in love with someone else in the future?"
Mi Yang was surprised and said: "I watched him grow up, he is the best."
Chen Baiwei thought it was very interesting to chat with this kid, so he asked him, "What if he doesn't like you?"
Mi Yang thought for a moment, rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly and said: "Then I'll try to grab it. In fact, I think my chances of winning are quite good."
Chen Baiwei teased him: "You still know how to snatch, not bad."
Mi Yang said seriously: "We have to give it a try."
Chen Baiwei praised: "Not bad, you look a bit manly, as expected of you who just turned 18, you are different as an adult!" He looked at Mi Yang blushing and said jokingly: "Hey, little brother, what does the person you like do?"
Mi Yang held it in for a long time before saying, "... a loan shark."
Chen Bai smiled so hard that he fell down.
Mi Yang blushed and asked again: "Brother Chen has a girlfriend too, right? Tell me about yours."
Chen Baiwei was much more generous than him, and didn't care at all. "My husband, how should I put it? Do you remember the words posted on our camp? 'Maintain authenticity, minimize intervention'. Cultural relics should be kept in their original appearance. Our restoration should also start from this point. Maybe when we meet someone who can do it in the future, we can still repair it." He laughed, "As for me, I will try to do the same. I don't know how long I can accompany him, but I'm happy to accompany him if he needs me."
Mi Yang was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him, but was tapped on the forehead by Chen Baiwei, and the other party started laughing heartlessly again.
Mi Yang wanted to say something when he heard someone walking towards him with the crisp sound of high heels. Mi Yang looked over and saw Wu Shuang, whom he hadn't seen for a few days. He immediately stood up and strode towards Wu Shuang, his eyes lighting up.
Wu Shuang came here with the old curator, and was a little surprised to see Mi Yang walking straight towards her.
Mi Yang walked up to her, stopped, and asked, "Ms. Wu, did you bring the books you borrowed two days ago? The library's internal book borrowing time is only three days, and the time limit is about to expire. Last time you signed, but you used my borrowing card." He added, "If I violate the rules once, I won't be able to borrow books for a month."
Wu Shuang: “…”
Wu Shuang looked at him and said, "That's all you came to tell me?"
Mi Yang nodded, somewhat expecting her to take out the book.
The old curator didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just as he was about to speak, Wu Shuang interrupted him and said, "I have brought the book. So, you can take me to return it first. I don't want to cause you any trouble."
Mi Yang was very happy and took her to return the book in the same information room. After checking that the book was not damaged, Mi Yang returned the book and carefully registered it again.
Wu Shuang rarely joked with him: "Do you know that the books in this reference room are all donated by the Wu Group?"
Mi Yang looked up in surprise, he really didn't know.
On the other side, Chen Baiwei, who was taking a break, was also caught.
Bai Luochuan had nothing to do during the day, so he came to the museum to "wander around". After asking two people, he found Chen Baiwei's place, but the chair that originally belonged to Mi Yang was empty. He waited for a while and asked, "Brother Chen, where is Mi Yang?"
Chen Baiwei held her chin up and slowly flipped through the printed materials. When she heard him ask, she said, "Mi Yang, Mi Yang just ran away with someone."
Bai Luochuan asked: "What do you mean?"
Chen Baiwei pointed in the direction of the first floor and said to him, "Just now a woman came over, she was pretty, and Mi Yang went to talk to her, and then they went to the first floor together. You can go over there and ask, maybe you can run into her."
Bai Luochuan knew that Chen Baiwei liked to joke, so he didn't take it seriously. After thanking him, he went to the first floor.
But just as I found the archive room, I heard laughter inside. A girl's voice asked, "No wonder you asked me if I wanted a camera that day. Did you take so many photos secretly? I haven't seen any of them. Can you send me a copy later?"
As soon as Mi Yang said "OK", Bai Luochuan rushed in. When the three of them met, they were all stunned.
Bai Luochuan looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help frowning: "Why is it you?"
Wu Shuang's momentary surprise turned into indifference when she heard his words. She raised her eyebrows and gave him the same unhappy expression, and said lightly: "Boss Bai, why are you here?"
Mi Yang blinked, looked at Bai Luochuan and then at Wu Shuang, and finally set his sights on Bai Luochuan, wondering: "You... know each other?"
The two of them were cold towards each other, but they were both enthusiastic towards Mi Yang. One of them shook his head and replied, "I'm not familiar with him," while the other one managed to maintain his decency and said, "I met him a few days ago."
Mi Yang didn't expect Bai Luochuan to be the more polite one, but seeing that Wu Shuang and he were arguing with each other after just a few words, it was already a great favor that the two of them didn't quarrel.
Bai Luochuan stood beside Mi Yang, fearing that he might misunderstand him, and he explained: "Before you came, Mr. Wu brought Miss Wu to the company for a meeting. There was a new project to discuss, but it was just business dealings." After he finished speaking, he did not forget to make his position clear, "Miss Wu, I have a partner."
Wu Shuang looked at him in confusion: "What does it have to do with me?"
She turned around and asked Mi Yang for his Penguin number, and whispered to him to send the photos over. "I have all the gold items, but I haven't seen these wood carvings yet. Thank you for your help." Perhaps because Mi Yang had a gentle attitude, she did not have the arrogance like Bai Luochuan, but instead became much more humble.
Boss Bai Luochuan looked at them adding each other as friends with displeasure, pursed his lips and said nothing.
He had promised Mi Yang not to interfere with each other's friendships, but just watching this, he still felt jealous, especially when he saw Wu Shuang looking through photos with Mi Yang's small camera. Bai Luochuan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but glance down. Fortunately, there were no photos of girls in the camera, but all the cultural relics that Mi Yang liked.
