Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Jiu had never seen jade up close before. Yet, the moment she saw this jade pendant, she knew that it was a crystal clear and pure jade and it was probably an outstanding jade.
Moreover, this brocade box looks a little old as if it has been kept for many years. There might even be a story behind it.
Why did the little villain give me this?
Su Jiu looked up at him. “Big Brother, this is very expensive, right? I can’t take it.”
“It’s not expensive. It’s very cheap.”
“Liar! One look, and you can tell that this isn’t cheap. Big Brother, this gift is too expensive. I can’t accept it.” Su Jiu stuffed the box back into his hands.
Rong Si refused to accept it and stuffed it back. “I’ve already given it to you. I can’t take it back.”
“But…” Su Jiu lowered her head and looked at the jade pendant, feeling a little awkward. “What’s the background of this jade pendant? It feels very precious. Do you really want to give it to me?”
“Yes,” Rong Si concisely replied, but his eyes were firm.
“Then, Big Brother, tell me, where did this jade pendant come from?” Su Jiu felt that she had to find out. If Rong Si had given her something precious, she would feel guilty.
Rong Si paused before replying, “I bought it by the roadside.”
Su Jiu glanced at him and puffed up her cheeks. “Liar! There’s no way you bought it by the roadside!”
A hint of guilt flashed across Rong Si’s eyes. He turned his head to look elsewhere and said in a low voice, “No matter where I bought it from, it’s not something expensive. I’m giving it to you, so just accept it.”
“Is it really not expensive?”
“Really.” Rong Si felt extremely guilty when he said this. He had said that he wouldn’t lie to her, but he still wasn’t telling the truth. However, he promised that he would never lie to her when it came to matters of principle.
This time, he had no choice but to tell a lie so that Su Jiu would accept the gift without any reservations.
Su Jiu suspiciously observed him for a while and saw him pursing his lips and calmly looking at her. She could not tell what was going through his mind, so she chose to believe him for now.
Putting the jade pendant into the pocket of her coat, she said, “Alright, then… I’ll take it for now. If I find out that you’re lying to me, I’ll give it back.”
“Okay,” Rong Si casually replied.
If she wanted to return it to him, he wouldn’t accept it. And he knew that she wouldn’t throw it away.
After keeping the box, Su Jiu raised her head to look at him. Her fair face was filled with anticipation. “Big Brother, since you are here, will you spend the new year here? Let’s celebrate the new year together!”
She grabbed his wrist as she spoke as if she was afraid that he would run away.
Rong Si looked down at her hands. They were red from the cold, and so were her ears. Subconsciously, he pulled the hood on the back of her coat and lifted it over her head. Then, he held her hand and placed it in the pocket of his coat.
His actions stunned Su Jiu.
She hadn’t worn a hat or gloves when she had run out because of the excitement of seeing him. Only now did she notice that she was cold and her fingers were about to freeze. Rong Si held her hands and placed them in his coat pocket. Warmth spread between their palms, dispelling the bone-chilling coldness.
It was just a small action, but Su Jiu’s heart felt warm all of a sudden.
This uncorrupted little villain really has the potential to be gentle.
A thought suddenly popped up in Su Jiu’s mind..?He’s such a good child. I can’t bear to let other girls have him!
