Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1150: True Proof (26)

The Blue and White Porcelain Fish-Algae Pattern Large Jar, of course, wasn’t fished out of Flying Horse Lake; Wang Chen was only making a joke.

But since he washed it using the water from Flying Horse River, which originates from Flying Horse Lake, you could say there’s a connection, even if it’s somewhat far-fetched.

By donating this piece of antique porcelain, Wang Chen also put one of his worries to rest.

As for certificates and cash rewards, those were truly inconsequential.

However, to Wang Chen’s surprise, just a week later, Tian Tian suddenly sent him a message: "Brother Wang Chen, did you fish up any antiques from Flying Horse Lake? (playful.jpg)"

Wang Chen: "???"

Ever since they added each other on WeChat, Wang Xiaomeng’s classmate and close friend often messaged Wang Chen about life and studies.

Just like Wang Xiaomeng, Tian Tian also got into the top high school in the provincial capital and remained in the same class.

This young girl evidently had a great affection for Wang Chen; although they hadn’t met many times in person, their WeChat conversations had become very friendly and intimate.

And while Wang Chen didn’t harbor any indecent thoughts towards her, he also didn’t reject this sort of communication.

Because he had a good impression of Tian Tian as well.

The girl’s innocence, cuteness, and purity easily evoke the yearnings and fantasies of youth that Wang Chen once harbored.

So, regarding their relationship, he adopted a go-with-the-flow attitude.

Each wonderful encounter should not be missed, and every act of kindness should not be let down!

After Tian Tian explained, Wang Chen then found out that recently, a piece of news had gone viral on the social media circles among the residents of the provincial city.

It said that someone had caught a Yuan Blue and White Porcelain Jar from Flying Horse Lake and donated it to the museum for free.

The museum’s official website had posted an announcement with pictures; the experts had appraised it to be worth over a hundred million!

A porcelain antiquity, valued at over a hundred million, fished up from a lake?

No wonder it caused a sensation!

Tian Tian sent this message to Wang Chen because during their last picnic, Wang Chen did catch several big fish in Flying Horse Lake.

She thought Wang Chen might have heard about this incident, so she made a little joke.

Wang Chen: "..."

The Blue and White Porcelain Jar from the Shentama era worth billions!

The Blue and White Porcelain Fish-Algae Pattern Large Jar he donated, although very precious, was just a piece of Ming dynasty antique and wasn’t the same level as the extremely rare Yuan Blue and White Porcelain Jar.

The former is a classified relic, while the latter is a national treasure!

What left Wang Chen speechless was that his offhand joke made during the donation somehow spread.

And it spread incredibly wildly at that!

He was flabbergasted.

Wang Chen immediately opened the museum’s official website and saw the official announcement.

But it clearly stated the authenticating experts’ appraisal of the artifact’s time period.

It just shows how powerful a rumor can be.

At this time, Tian Tian sent another message: "Brother Wang Chen, are you free tonight? (coy.jpg)"

Wang Chen: "I’m free, what’s up?"

Tian Tian: "I have two movie tickets, I originally planned to go with Xiaomeng, but she’s not available. Could you come with me instead?"

Even through the phone, Wang Chen could imagine the other person mustering the courage to type out this message with shyness.

He smiled: "Sure, what time is the show? I’ll cycle over to pick you up."

"7:30 in the evening."

Tian Tian’s reply came quickly: "Come to the entrance of the complex at 6:30 to pick me up, remember the place?"

Wang Chen replied with an "ok" gesture.

After dinner, Wang Chen rolled out his bicycle and set off to the city to pick up Tian Tian.

What he did not expect was that just as he left the village, he saw lines of cars and motorcycles heading towards Flying Horse Lake along the river’s side road.

Many motorcyclists brought fishing gear - it was clear they were going to fish!

But this is certainly not a normal phenomenon.

Currently, Flying Horse Lake still allows recreational fishing, and the complete fishing ban won’t take effect until the wetland park is established, with lots of fishing enthusiasts gathering around the lake on weekends.

But there has never been a fishing army this large in scale.

The most important thing is, it’s already dark now, and night fishing in the lake area is very dangerous. Have these people gone mad?

The answer, obviously, is no.

If it weren’t for the message from Tian Tian, Wang Chen would have thought the situation utterly baffling.

Now he clearly understood the reason!

How crazy!

Wang Chen shook his head and pedaled faster to hasten his journey.

As a result, on the road, he encountered even more vehicles heading towards Flying Horse Lake.

When Wang Chen arrived on time at the entrance of the neighborhood where Tian Tian lived, he spotted the young girl standing on the sidewalk.

He cycled straight over and stopped in front of her: "Tian Tian."

"Brother Chen!"

Seeing Wang Chen, Tian Tian immediately showed a sweet smile, her bright eyes filled with genuine joy.

The girl had grown up quite a bit over the past two months, becoming even more slender and charmingly cute.

Wang Chen nodded: "Get on."

"Mhm."

Tian Tian didn’t mind Wang Chen’s antique "ride" at all, swiftly climbing onto the back seat of the old-fashioned bicycle, then turned to sit securely and naturally grabbed onto the corner of Wang Chen’s clothes.

"Let’s go."

Wang Chen exerted force with his feet, and the bicycle steadily moved forward.

The city’s night was dazzling with lights, and the long streets were bustling with traffic. Carrying the girl in a white dress on the non-motorized lane, Wang Chen attracted more gazes than the luxury cars on the road.

He wasn’t particularly handsome, but the girl behind him was beautiful!

Add to that a rare sight of an old-fashioned bicycle, and unknowingly, the two became a beautiful scene in the city.

While waiting for the traffic light at an intersection, the driver of a Mercedes next to them even rolled down his window and gave Wang Chen a thumbs up.

Wang Chen smiled.

The arrival time at the movie theater was just right; they checked their tickets and entered, then watched a film in a small auditorium.

The movie was a newly released youth melodrama starring a current top-tier popular young idol, with the leading actress being a rising star and a strong supporting cast.

Although the lead actors’ performances were terrible, the plot was incredibly dramatic, which had Tian Tian almost in tears.

And then, without realizing it, she grasped Wang Chen’s hand.

When the show ended and the audience departed, Wang Chen was holding the girl’s hand as they walked out of the cinema.

"Brother Chen,"

Tian Tian said shyly, "It’s still early. Let’s walk around a bit more."

Back in the cinema, it took all her courage to take the initiative and hold Wang Chen’s hand.

That moment greatly shortened the distance between them.

If she were to return home now, it would waste most of her courage.

Wang Chen smiled and said, "Alright."

Next to the cinema was a large shopping mall, so Wang Chen took her for a stroll inside, and then in the arcade of the mall, he won Tian Tian over a dozen stuffed toys.

Whatever Tian Tian set her eyes on, Wang Chen won it in one try, without a single miss.

This made Tian Tian incredibly happy, her smile never left her face!
