Chapter 34: Screening Jadeite

Xing Mo looked at Lin Luo in disbelief, “Xiao Luo, did you agree?”

Lin Luo twisted his little head shyly, grabbed his arm, and wanted to jump to the ground, but how could Xing Mo let him go? He hugged the little fur ball in his arms tighter, and said in an uneven voice, “Xiao Luo, I like you and want to be with you forever. Would you like that?”

Lin Luo’s entire Ocelot was stunned, and the cat’s pupils widened roundly.

“Xiao Luo, do you like me?” Xing Mo raised the little Ocelot with both hands, meeting his gaze and stubbornly asking for an answer.

Do I like Xing Mo? Lin Luo asked himself.

Lin Luo remembered when he was in school and everyone was young he also heard his classmates discuss love. They said that if they see someone they like and they blush and feel their heart race, and always want to be with that person, then they know they like them. That would mean…

If its like that… he should also like Xing Mo, right?

Lin Luo remembered that he had accidentally seen Xing Mo before. He must be responsible to Xing Mo, and Xing Mo still said he liked him? So he doesn’t need to worry about Xing Mo’s rejection of him?

“Woo…” Lin Luo became happier as he thought about it. He nodded his head vigorously, and told him his answer in a way that Xing Mo couldn’t misunderstand.

“Really? Do you like me too?” Xing Mo couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth, hugged Lin Luo again, and then said in a wistful tone, “If only you could change back into a human form…”

“Woo…” Lin Luo lowered his head in frustration. He also wanted to change back. He also had a lot to say to Xing Mo, but in the beast form, the two could only have simple exchanges.

Although it was a bit regretful, the feelings between the two of them finally became clear regardless. Xing Mo gave Lin Luo the space button that was transformed into a ring, but he couldn’t wear it now, so Xing Mo found a chain, strung the ring on it, and hung it around Lin Luo’s neck.

Because Xing Mo’s room was damaged, he couldn’t live in it for the time being, so he grandly embraced his new lover in his arms, returned to Lin Luo’s room, and the two shared a bed again.

Lin Luo had already gotten used to it, so there was no response. He was really exhausted. He laid in Xing Mo’s arms and fell asleep not long after. Xing Mo hugged him and fell asleep contentedly.

The two of them slept directly until noon the next day.

Xing Mo was awakened by the shock of light brain. He glanced at the screen to see that the construction team he was looking for had arrived at the door. This was not something the housekeeping robot could handle. He had to go there in person.

He looked down at his arms. The little Ocelot still slept soundly. He kissed his fluffy little head, then he got up and went to the bathroom to wash and gave instructions to the housework robot to make some food for Lin Luo according to his tastes.

Xing Mo came downstairs, took the construction crew to the back garden, and told them what the workshop he wanted built should look like. The foreman of the construction team went around in the garden to survey the location selected by Xing Mo. After confirming the construction plan, the two parties signed a contract. Xing Mo first paid a deposit of 500,000 credits and the remaining balance would be paid after the construction is completed.

This construction team had the empire’s A-level construction qualifications, so Xing Mo was at ease with them. The construction team was set to officially start construction the next day, and only during the day, so as not to make noise affecting their rest at night.

Xing Mo was very satisfied with this. After sending the construction team away, he returned to the house and saw that Lin Luo had gotten up and was sitting at the dining table for breakfast. Today’s food was mostly Lin Luo’s favorite dishes, so his mouth was already full.

Seeing Lin Luo’s cute cheeks bulging and chewing hard, Xing Mo couldn’t help his heart throbbing. He walked quickly over, bowed his head and kissed Lin Luo’s bulging cheek.

Lin Luo’s eyes widened, his face flushed quickly, and even his ears were red.

“Haha.” Xing Mo couldn’t help laughing out loud, his Xiao Luo is so cute, “Good morning, my Xiao Luo.”

However, he is still very measured. Some things should be done slowly. It won’t be good if people are scared off.

“Morning, good morning…” Lin Luo squatted.

“Let’s go to my jadeite warehouse. How about sorting the jadeite in the warehouse?” Every jadeite sent from planet Kulta is placed in a warehouse near Kipola Harbor. When there is a shortage of goods in the store on Gambling Stone Street, they go to the warehouse to replenish the stock. The business in the store had been very good lately, and as it was time to replenish the stock, Xing Mo decided to take advantage of this opportunity to pick over the ore in the warehouse first to see if there was any good jade.

“Good, sounds good.”

After the two of them had eaten, they rode in a hovercar and headed to the warehouse.

The area near Kipola Harbor is a large warehouse, and there are usually no people around. After the two got off the car, security personnel armed with energy guns came over. After Xing Mo showed his ID card, the guards put away their guns.

Xing Mo’s warehouse is warehouse No. 3078. The entire warehouse is constructed of super alloy plates and is equipped with a silent touch alarm device. You must insert an ID card and verify your biometric information before you can enter. The value of betting on jadeite is very high, but not all jadeite traders will choose to rent such a warehouse with extremely tight defenses.

Xing Mo passed the verification and entered the warehouse. The sensor lights in the warehouse automatically turned on, and the bright lights allowed them to see clearly.

Xing Mo’s warehouse was not very large, about 600 square meters. Many jadeites of different sizes and colors were placed on a row of shelves, and each piece of jadeite was affixed with a color label and code.

However, due to the accident on Kulta, the warehouse has not been replenished with new goods for a while, so half of the shelves in the warehouse were empty.

“This is it, do you want to look around?”

Lin Luo gave a little cheer and ran over quickly, and he could observe every piece of jadeite with peace of mind without onlookers or influence. It was a very rare learning opportunity for Lin Luo.

The ore veins of Kulta are secondary ore veins. Most of the jadeite has a thicker outer skin and severe weathering. The sandy matrix is mainly composed of just sand. Common sand skins include white, yellow, red, and black, but there are also lime peel, white salt, and more.

Lin Luo first tried to guess the state of the interior jade only by relying on his own observation of the outer matrix, and only then used his special ability to confirm it. He was like a sponge, desperately absorbing all knowledge about stone selecting.

Each piece of jadeite was classified by a stone gambling consultant with color labels according to its quality. Lin Luo didn’t select all the good jade so as not to make the jadeite in Xing Mo’s shop unable to produce good jade. He just selected the underestimated jadeites one by one to avoid the loss of selling good jade at a low price.

Xing Mo stayed by Lin Luo’s side the whole time, thinking that men are the most attractive when they’re serious. Serious Lin Luo is like a bright light, which attracts Xing Mo and causes him to be unable to look away.

Lin Luo selected more than 30 pieces of jadeite. He replaced some of the labels on pieces of medium-quality jadeites and put them back on the shelf. The jadeite he bought all went into the space button hung around his neck, and he prepared to take them back. After the workshop was built, he would cut all the jadeite.

Xing Mo sent a message to Wang Ze, telling him that he could come to the warehouse to restock the shop tomorrow.

By the time the two came out of the warehouse, it was already evening.
