Chapter 780
Chen Shishi's Surprise
After hearing this, Xu Bo'an felt that it would be most appropriate for the golden phoenix crown to be delivered at night. Firstly, this way he wouldn't have to worry about delaying the delivery of it to Li Qingshi. Secondly, buying such an expensive item would be safer at night, as there would be many people around during the day.
Xu Bo'an immediately told the store manager, "You can deliver the items tonight, or even better, deliver them directly to my home!"
The store manager said happily, "Okay, no problem, just leave us your address and phone number!"
After saying that, he handed the paper and pen to Xu Bo'an, who wrote down the address and phone number and then handed them to the store manager.
When the store manager saw that Xu Bo'an's address was actually a villa in the Central Courtyard, he immediately understood why Xu Bo'an was so extravagant.
The Central Villa is a newly built villa in recent years. The people who can live there are the most elite in Dongjiang City, all of whom are either rich or noble.
This seemingly ordinary-looking young man actually has such ability. Luckily, as the store manager, I didn't judge him by his appearance, otherwise such a large order today would have been lost!
Xu Bo'an then paid the bill and walked out of the jewelry store.
The price of this phoenix crown alone cost Xu Bo'an a full 700,000 yuan from his bank account. Combined with the gold jewelry set, the total came to nearly one million yuan, but Xu Bo'an showed no sign of feeling the pinch.
Xu Bo'an is not short of money, and these items are for Li Qingshi of the Bonsai World as a wedding gift.
In the bonsai world, Li Qingshi was his first loyal follower. The news that he was the Mountain God Grandfather spread throughout the bonsai world starting with Li Qingshi, so Li Qingshi was of great significance to him.
Moreover, his current wealth is all thanks to the Bonsai World. If Xu Bo'an doesn't contribute anything to celebrate such an important life event as his believer's wedding, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Firstly, Lao Xu isn't the kind of greedy person who only takes in and never gives out; he understands the principle that you have to give to receive. Secondly, Lao Xu isn't someone who doesn't know how to be grateful.
After Xu Bo'an left the jewelry store, there were no customers left. It was also time to close, so they lowered the store's roller shutter.
At this moment, the shop assistants, who had been suppressing their emotions for a long time, began to completely erupt in excitement. This was the first time in Dongjiang City that they had seen such an extravagant tycoon who could spend a million without batting an eye.
The people I met today were excitedly chattering and imitating each other in the jewelry store for quite a while.
At the same time, the store manager, having learned from this experience, warned the store's sales staff that they should not judge any customer by their appearance and must strictly adhere to the principle that "the customer is God." Everyone who comes to the store should be treated with a positive and enthusiastic attitude, and no customer should be neglected.
The store manager is using Xu Bo'an's purchase of gold jewelry today as an example to hold an evening meeting for everyone.
Xu Bo'an got home around nine o'clock in the evening.
Because he was waiting for the jewelry store to deliver the phoenix crown to him, Xu Bo'an didn't go to bed. Instead, he sat on the sofa and opened the Kuaiyin app to watch short videos for a while.
After scrolling for about twenty minutes, Xu Bo'an felt it wasn't very interesting, so he opened the message section, which still had 99+ messages, and saw that there were still many messages about Chen Shishi.
It has to be said that this girl's looks and dance moves are really popular. She posted the video herself for quite some time now, and the number of comments from netizens has not decreased but increased.
Surprisingly, many film and television companies still wanted to collaborate with him. Xu Bo'an had already donated the copyright of the video to Huaxia Film and Television Center free of charge, so of course he wouldn't collaborate with any other companies. He ignored them and exited the Kuaiyin APP interface.
Feeling bored all by himself, Xu Bo'an suddenly thought of Chen Shishi. Right, he wondered if Chen Shishi was asleep yet. With that thought, Xu Bo'an went upstairs to his bedroom and closed the door.
When Xu Bo'an arrived at the fish tank ecosystem that he had built for Chen Shishi, modeled after Kaoshan Village, he looked inside and saw Chen Shishi sitting on the bed, holding a small object in her hand and looking at it intently.
It seems this girl has something on her mind today. Xu Bo'an is also quite bored right now, so chatting with her wouldn't be a bad idea.
Xu Bo'an then said, "Chen Shishi, it's already very late tonight, why aren't you resting yet!"
Upon hearing that it was the Mountain God, Chen Shishi quickly knelt down and said, "Replying to the Mountain God, I feel tired today because I have many worries, so I haven't rested yet!"
After listening to Chen Shishi's words, Xu Bo'an thought about how, although Chen Shishi had no worries about her life while staying in the aquarium ecosystem he had created for her, which resembled a bonsai world, other problems were also arising.
After all, humans are social animals, and right now Chen Shishi is the only one in this fish tank ecosystem. There's no one to talk to. Although this method seems to be a way to protect her safety, in reality, a person can't stand living in such an environment for a long time. Over time, she will definitely develop illnesses such as depression.
Seeing Chen Shishi's state today, Xu Bo'an put himself in her shoes and thought that if he were in such an environment where he was all alone and had no one to talk to, he probably wouldn't have been able to last even ten days.
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an asked, "Chen Shishi, do you feel very depressed staying in this kind of environment?"
Upon hearing what the Mountain God Grandpa said, Chen Shishi hurriedly replied, "No, Mountain God Grandpa, that's not how it is. I don't feel miserable at all. You're letting me stay here for my safety, it's for my own good!"
Xu Bo'an noticed the flustered look on Chen Shishi's face when he asked the question, knowing that she was afraid to tell him her true feelings. Xu Bo'an continued, "It's alright, Chen Shishi, you are my subject. Tell me your thoughts honestly, and I will do my best to help you solve them!"
Chen Shishi said, "Replying to Grandpa Mountain God, I'm just feeling a little down, nothing serious. I'll be fine in a bit. I don't want to cause you any trouble!" Chen Shishi is a rare talent in the bonsai world that Xu Bo'an has known so far. She is his capable assistant, and Xu Bo'an must pay close attention to Chen Shishi's movements to prevent any mishaps from happening to her.
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an said to Chen Shishi, "I know you're not used to the new environment and feel quite depressed because you don't have anyone to talk to."
Hearing that the Mountain God had completely guessed her thoughts, and knowing that he was an omnipotent and powerful deity, Chen Shishi dared not hide anything any longer. She quickly knelt down before the Mountain God and said with deep remorse, "Mountain God, you are so powerful that you could guess my thoughts. You only resorted to this tactic for my safety. It was I who was ungrateful and had such an absurd idea. I am willing to accept your punishment."
Seeing Chen Shishi's anxious and fearful appearance, Xu Bo'an comforted her, saying, "Chen Shishi, you don't need to panic like this. I don't mean to blame you. On the contrary, I understand your feelings very well. After all, humans are social animals. It's inevitable to feel depressed like you when you're alone for a long time."
Chen Shishi was very happy to hear what the Mountain God Grandpa said, but she still asked him with some doubt, "Grandpa Mountain God, do you really think so?"
Xu Bo'an said, "Of course it's true! I am the Mountain God, how could I possibly lie!"
Upon hearing the Mountain God's affirmative words, Chen Shishi's previously troubled face instantly brightened. She looked as if she had found a kindred spirit to confide in, and happily said to the Mountain God, "Thank you, Mountain God! Thank you, Mountain God!"
Xu Bo'an said, "Seeing how depressed you are today, how about I take you to a new environment? Are you willing?"
Actually, the new environment Xu Bo'an was referring to was his own villa. Anyway, it was the middle of the night, and it was his own home, so even if Chen Shishi came out, she wouldn't be noticed by outsiders. He might as well let her come out for some fresh air.
Upon hearing the words of the Mountain God, Chen Shishi's eyes lit up instantly, filled with longing for the new environment. She said to the Mountain God with great joy, "Grandpa Mountain God, of course I'm willing!"
When Xu Bo'an saw that Chen Shishi had suddenly become so excited when he said he would take her to see the new environment, even though she had just lied and said that she wasn't depressed because she was feeling stifled, her excited reaction now completely revealed her true feelings.
As soon as Chen Shishi finished speaking, Xu Bo'an reached into the fish tank ecosystem and placed Chen Shishi in his palm. Then he reached out and placed her in his room, but Xu Bo'an did not make her bigger; she remained the same size as in the bonsai.
Chen Shishi felt a wave of dizziness. After regaining her balance, she stood in Xu Bo'an's palm and began to look around.
While looking around, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this place is so big and beautiful! Grandpa Mountain God, where is this?"
Xu Bo'an looked at the tiny figure, no bigger than a melon seed, standing in the palm of his hand and said, "This is where I reside!"
Hearing what the Mountain God Grandpa said, Chen Shishi happily exclaimed, "So, does that mean I've arrived at the fairyland where you, Mountain God Grandpa, reside?"
Xu Bo'an said, "Yes, you could say that!"
Chen Shishi exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, I'm so lucky to have come to a fairyland! I must take this opportunity to fully appreciate this place!"
Xu Bo'an said, "Then enjoy it to your heart's content and see how our fairyland differs from where you are!"
Chen Shishi happily said, "Okay, okay!"
After she finished speaking, she stood in Xu Bo'an's hand and looked around for a long time before saying, "Grandpa Mountain God, I feel that this place is so big and spacious, it feels like it can't be seen to the end!"
Xu Bo'an couldn't help but laugh when he heard Chen Shishi's words. This was just his bedroom, and Chen Shishi said it was huge. But that made sense. For someone as small as Chen Shishi, it was understandable that she thought her bedroom was huge.
Xu Bo'an said, "Really? Then I'll take you to see some other places!"
After saying that, he got up and led Chen Shishi around the house briefly. Then they sat down on the sofa in the living room. At this moment, Chen Shishi felt like she was floating on clouds. Because of her small size, she couldn't see the situation in Xu Bo'an's house at all. She could only see some white and colorful things.
In fact, the white and colorful things that Chen Shishi saw were all walls inside Xu Bo'an's villa. Some places were covered with wallpaper, so they looked colorful, while other places were the original color of the walls, so they looked white.
After Xu Bo'an settled down on the sofa, Chen Shishi finally steadied herself. She felt that the place she was in was very bright, even brighter than daytime in her world, and even a little dazzling. When she looked up, she saw a huge fireball that looked like the sun but was not quite the same shape hanging high in the air above her.
Could it be that the sun in this celestial realm is different from the sun in my world? And that the cycle of day and night is different?
With these questions in mind, Chen Shishi pointed to the ceiling of the living room and said to Xu Bo'an, "Grandpa Mountain God, if I may ask you something, is that huge, bright thing hanging above our heads the sun of the celestial realm? It's so beautiful!"
Xu Bo'an looked in the direction Chen Shishi pointed and realized that the sun Chen Shishi mentioned was the ceiling light in his room. Xu Bo'an chuckled and said, "That's not the sun, that's a kind of lighting device used in our immortal realm!"
Chen Shishi exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, everything in the Immortal Realm that can provide light is so beautiful! It's like a giant, unfolding flower. It's simply amazing! Oh, Grandpa Mountain God, I have another request. Could you put me down and let me walk around on the ground of the Immortal Realm? I want to experience what the ground of the Immortal Realm is like."
Xu Bo'an said, "Since you find it so novel, then I'll let you go and wander around as you please!"
Chen Shishi was overjoyed to hear that the Mountain God had granted her request, and quickly knelt down, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa Mountain God!"
After Chen Shishi finished speaking, Xu Bo'an looked at her feet and noticed that she wasn't wearing shoes; her feet were bare. Worried that she might catch a cold, he placed her on the large carpet in his living room. (End of Chapter)
