A few thoughts flashed through his mind; Zhang Jun suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little familiar with this beautiful woman. He said, “Hey, Beauty, I feel that I have ever seen you somewhere before.”
The beautiful woman gave a faint smile and said, “It seems that you boys like to strike up a conversation with others in this way.”
While Zhang Jun shook his head with a serious look and said, “I"m sure I"ve ever seen you before.” He looked down thinking, then with a sudden pat on the head and said, “Now I remember. You graduated from Donghai University, did you?”
The beautiful woman stared blankly and said, “I did. But how do you know that?”
Zhang Jun said with a laughter, “I also know that your name is Lin Xian and you graduated in 2007, known as the most beautiful campus belle since the founding of Donghai University!”
The beautiful woman was indeed named Lin Xian. When she heard that Zhang Jun was actually one of her alumni, and he called her as the first campus belle, she was somewhat pleased. She smiled, “I didn’t expect to meet an alumnus here.”
Lin Xian was a student of Grade 2007 of Donghai University and the focus at that time. The boy students called her the first campus belle since the founding of the university. Zhang Jun was a Grade 08 student, one year later than Lin Xian. Although he had seen her only a few times, he was deeply impressed by her beautiful appearance, which was still unforgettable until now.
The two chatted a few words, then Lin Xian asked, “Where are you going, Junior?”
Zhang Jun talked about the cla.s.s reunion, and when Lin Xian heard that Zhang Jun had expressed his love to Ye Qian but was refused, she realized that he would get himself into a very awkward position in that reunion party. Then she asked, “So in this case, why do you want to take part in, Junior?”
Zhang Jun gave a dry laugh and, and not wanting others to get his inner thoughts, he shifted the topic, “So what is your purpose of the trip to Donghai this time?”
“I’m working with a jewelry company. There is a Stone Gambling Festival being held in Donghai these days; I want to go over and see if I can obtain some jadeite sources,” said Lin Xian.
The Stone Gambling Festival? Zhang Jun felt a sudden touch to the heart. He had just found himself possessing a miraculous capacity of X-ray vision. If he went to gamble on stones, wouldn’t it be a good bet?
As soon as the idea came out, his heart gave a violent thump. But suppressing his excitement, Zhang Jun said, “Senior, what if I also go to the Stone Gambling Festival with you, so as to broaden my horizon?"
Lin Xian immediately showed her hesitation. If she took this man Zhang Jun with her, there would be a lot of inconveniences. Moreover, she had very important mission during this trip, it would be no good to distract herself from it for him.

If any act against our party has taken place, the tortfeasor shall immediately stop the infringement, eliminate the negative impact, make an apology and compensate for the loss.
Seeing Lin Xian"s hesitative expression, Zhang Jun knowingly said, “If you feel inconvenient, forget it. I can go by myself.”
Hearing this, Lin Xian felt somewhat embarra.s.sed instead. So she said, “There’s nothing inconvenient about it. Now that you are interested in gambling stones, let’s go together so that we can take care of each other.” Saying that, she took out a flat leather case from behind.
The leather case opened, and one can see hundreds of soybean-sized jadeite samples of different kinds neatly arranged.
Lin Xian smiled, "These are all samples of jadeite. Since you are eager to play a part in the Stone Gambling Festival, let me help you with some lessons."
Zhang Jun took a look at Lin Xian and a sudden sense of favorable impression overwhelmed his heart. He knew exactly the value of jadeite and these samples were worth about a million yuan at least. She showed them to him without any precautions. This was a kind of most valuable trust.
Zhang Jun was originally attracted by the beauty of this woman in front of him, and now there were more preferences in his mind. Zhang Jun couldn’t help experiencing an unusual feeling in the heart.
He took the case and looked at the jadeite inside one by one. When he concentrated himself on them, his vision went deep into the interior of the jadeite samples. It was really an amazing feeling that he could see the arrangement of crystal particles inside them very clearly.
“Why did I suddenly possess this capacity?” Zhang Jun couldn"t help thinking and felt like having a dream.
Seeing that Zhang Jun was seriously watching, Lin Xian pointed to the jadeite samples and explained the quality of them to him.
“Jadeite belongs to chalchiguite. Its quality can be identified from several aspects. The first is the color. Different people like different colors: red, green, purple, blue, black and so on. Whatever the color is, the jade will be the best at the highest level of the same kind when it possesses the following five characteristics: the color being dense, bright, pure, gorgeous and well-distributed. In terms of the value of the Jadeite, what color of jadeite at the same level is more precious depends on personal preferences and the real-time market response.”
“The second thing taken into consideration is Di-shui, also called Shui-tou, (a combination of clarity and transparency), which refers to the transparency of jadeite. The better the Shui-tou is, the higher the value of jadeite will be. For example, transparent jadeite with gla.s.sy Di-shui is more valuable than translucent white Di-shui, and the latter is higher than glutinous jadeite with glutinous rice Di-shui. Di-shui and Zhong-tou, I’ll tell you what Zhou-tou is later, the two will basically determine the value of jadeite.”
“The third thing I’ll mention is Zhong-tou, which is the overall quality of jadeite which will give you the first intuitive perception. Zhong-tou can be divided into the old, the new and the new old. The jadeite can also be divided into gla.s.sy Zhong, icy Zhong, waxy Zhong and oleaceae Zhong, etc. Of course, besides all of these, the value of a jadeite also depends on the craft of the carving, polishing and inlaying, size of the jadeite.”
While explaining, Lin Xian took out the corresponding samples for Zhang Jun to watch. For each one, Zhang Jun would look deep into the inside of the sample and observe its crystal structure and the size of its particles.
As it were, through this kind of observation, he knew much more about jadeite than any other jadeite players, because no one could have the opportunity to observe one kind of jadeite in such a meticulous way as he could.
Zhang Jun looked over all samples. He felt very grateful to Lin Xian, so he said, “I really learned a lot this time from you, my senior alumna.”
Lin Xian smiled gently and said, “You are such a studious man, Junior. You will become a master in this field in the future perhaps." While she was speaking, she turned her neck lightly all of a sudden with a slight tinge of pain on her face.
Zhang Jun presently took a glance at her and his sight line went straightly into her neck muscles and found there was something abnormal on Lin Xian"s neck which showed some differences from the other parts. So he blinked his eyes for further observation, and found the flow of Qi and blood on her neck was not smooth and there were signs of stagnation.
Zhang Jun’s capacity of X-ray vision and micro vision already made him able to observe the movement of molecules, so naturally he could see the movement of Qi and blood clearly. So he immediately arrived at a judgment that there was something wrong with Lin Xian’s neck, which was the reason why she felt painful just now.
“Is there anything wrong with your neck, my senior?” Zhang Jun asked.
Lin Xian forced a bitter smile and said, “Oh yes, I just got a stiff neck during last night’s sleep, and feel uncomfortable until now.” Saying this, she kneaded the back of her neck hard and her arch eyebrows frowned slightly.
Some ideas. .h.i.t Zhang Jun. He recollected one of his uncles who specialized in Tuina (ma.s.sage) with his own very unique skills. In those years he followed this uncle and learned a few skills from him. The effect was very obvious for the treatment of minor problems such as stiff neck.
“If you trust me, my senior. I can try to relieve your pain with a ma.s.sage.” Not knowing why, a sudden longing of l.u.s.t arose in Zhang Jun’s heart. He made such a suggestion, thinking it would not be bad even if he could only have a touch on the neck of the beauty. It was not bad to touch.
Lin Xian took a glance at Zhang Jun and didn’t refuse at all. She smiled and said, “So may I be bothering you to give me a ma.s.sage now. I’m suffering a lot.”
She then sat sideways and let Zhang Jun sit behind her.
Zhang Jun felt a thrill in his heart, for he had watched this beautiful senior alumna’s body and the s.e.xual stimulation has not pa.s.sed yet. He hurried over and recalled the skills he had learned from his uncle for a while. Then he pinched her neck gently with the purlicues of both hands.
Being so close to her, Zhang Jun could smell the faint fragrance of Lin Xian’s female body, which made him bewildered and restless.
