Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

The little girl was sitting at the stone table, staring at her toes with her head lowered. She had tied her hair into a simple bun on the top of her head, pinning her loose hair behind her head. The hair at the back of her head was draped over her chest like a waterfall, revealing a softness like water. He could only look at her. Her white jade-like side profile was dyed with a thin wisp of smoke.

Yin Huaixi suddenly remembered that when Uncle Sun treated his leg, Yu Youyao was always worried because the process was very painful. Every time he was given an acupuncture treatment, she had to stay by his side.

At that time, he was only wearing a single shirt and looked disheveled. The little girl had never avoided him.

It wasn’t that she didn’t know the rules, nor did she treat etiquette as nothing. It was just that her worry for him made her subconsciously ignore these things.

“Okay!” Yin Huaixi immediately took off his outerwear, picked two branches, and built a rack. He hung his outerwear beside the branches to dry.

Hearing the rustling sound, Yu Youyao quickly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him. “Have a cup of hot tea to warm your body and ward off the cold.’

Yin Huaixi took the teacup. As soon as the tea entered his mouth, it was a little hot. After swallowing it, he felt a heat flow from his throat to his stomach, and his body couldn’t help but feel warm.

After burning the wet firewood for a while, the smoke gradually subsided.

The two of them sat by the fire at a distance, warming their damp clothes.

The fire was burning, and from time to time, there would be a puffing sound from the fire, causing sparks to fly. Although there was a fire pit, Yin Huaixi would subconsciously reach out to block it for Yu Youyao every time.

The rain outside the pavilion was loud, but the atmosphere in the pavilion was a little strange.

In the incense burner, wisps of the orchid fragrance rose in spirals. The smoke gathered and did not dissipate. After staying for a moment, the smoke twisted slightly and dissipated.

Yin Huaixi was only wearing a white shirt. Yu Youyao felt a little uncomfortable and did not dare to look at him. She lowered her head to look at her fingers for a while, then stared at the fire for a long time.

The fire danced and swayed. After staring at it for a while, Yu Youyao was dizzy. She held the pouch in her hand and looked down at the patterns on it.

She suddenly remembered that she had yet to give Yin Huaixi the gift she had specially prepared for him.

Yu Youyao quickly took out a black pouch with golden patterns from her sleeve. She turned to look at Yin Huaixi beside her and was about to give him a gift.

At this moment, Yin Huaixi was also holding a long jade box in his hand. He tilted his head to look at Yu Youyao.

“Nineteenth Brother, l…

“Yao Yao, I…”

The two of them looked at the gift in each other’s hands in unison and understood each other’s intentions. The little awkvvardness in their hearts immediately disappeared.

“You first…

“Why don’t you say it first…”

The two of them, who had spoken at the same time, couldn’t help but laugh. Then, they closed their mouths at the same time. For a moment, neither of them spoke first, waiting for the other to speak first.

The two of them looked at each other. At this moment, silence was better than speaking.

For some reason, there was silence.

Yu Youyao couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Her clear laughter was like a bird flapping its wings and about to take off. It was light and pleasant to the ears, breaking the silent atmosphere.

Yin Huaixi felt relieved and couldn’t help but chuckle. He handed the box to Yu

Youyao. “This is a gift specially prepared for you.”

Yu Youyao smiled and quickly took the jade box. She carefully opened it and saw an exquisite flower hairpin in the long jade box.

She quickly picked it up and looked at it.

The entire body of the hairpin was jade-white, like suet. The body of the hairpin was carved into flowers, and there was a cluster of apricot flowers blooming on the head of the hairpin. There were about seven or eight of them. On the whole, it looked like an apricot branch that had just broken off from a tree.

The buds that were about to bloom were as red as blood and as hot as fire, as if they had been completely dyed red. The flowers that had completely bloomed were as white as jade and flawless. In addition, there were one or two light green and creamy yellow flowers mixed in. At a glance, they looked extremely dazzling and beautiful.

When apricot flowers first bloomed. they were red. Once they bloomed completely, they were white.

In the middle of the flowers, there were golden threads as stamens. Long stamens fell in an orderly manner. Red, white, green, and yellow jade beads were made into stamens that swayed and jumped lightly.

Yu Youyao’s eyes widened in surprise. “What a beautiful hairpin.”

In the past few years, Yin Huaixi had given her many gifts. He knew that she liked some exquisite things, so he often gave her carvings, but he had only given her a hairpin once.

Therefore, when she received the hairpin, she was especially surprised.

The little girl looked at the hairpin in surprise and stroked it lovingly. The carved flowers on the head of the hairpin were sparkling with joy.

Yin Huaixi subconsciously looked up and glanced at the silver hairpin on her head. For some reason, he felt a little annoyed.

Her fingers gently stroked the body of the hairpin, but she felt the uneven texture. She lowered her head and leaned closer to take a closer look. She saw a small line of words carved on it.

“Since I’ve favored someone, we will grow old with deep love.”

Yu Youyao suddenly looked up.

Yin Huaixi was looking down at her. His deep eyes reflected her red face. This charm was beautiful and faint, making her eyes move and look around gently.

“What represents our relationship? A golden hair clasp.” Yin Huaixi rubbed her pink lips gently and said in a low voice, “My feelings are sincere, and we schedule our lovers’ rendezvous.’

His voice was hoarse, low, and a little rough. It rubbed against her heart, making her soft and delicate heart tremble uncontrollably. What represents our relationship? A golden hair clasp!

It was from “Poem to Declare my Love” by Fan Qin.

The hair clasp here referred to a hairpin. The general idea was: How can one express their eternal friendship? There was only a hairpin decorated with gold leaf.

My feelings are sincere, and we schedule our lovers’ rendezvous!

The word “feelings” focused on one’s feelings. Meanwhile, the word “sincere” was on the basis of one’s “feelings” and emphasized one’s faithfulness.

The gist of it was that in one’s life, they had found someone who they had a special interest in. They wanted to make a promise with this person that they would be loyal to them for the rest of their life.

The entire poem was lingering and graceful, revealing deep love.

As if sensing something, Yu Youyao couldn’t help but hold her breath.

Indeed!

“Yu Youyao,” Yin Huaixi called out to her in a low voice. “l like you.”

His low and hoarse voice seemed to have a shocking force as it suddenly smashed into Yu Youyao’s ears, causing her mind to go blank.

She looked at Yin Huaixi in a daze.

Yin Huaixi took the jade hairpin from Yu Youyao’s hand. “I’ll help you put it on.”

Without waiting for Yu Youyao to react, he had already stood up and walked behind her. He bent down behind her and carefully inserted the jade hairpin into her hair. Then, he pulled out the silver hairpin from her hair.

Yin Huaixi fiddled with it gently twice. The stamens on the hairpin swayed lightly by her temples, making her look gentle..
