Guan Xia was holding a box in his hand, and after hearing this, he also looked over. Guan Chun was bold and lively, and had no scruples in front of Lu Xingyue. He smiled and said, "Young master, you look better today! It's better than what the storyteller said." The romantic scholar is still handsome!"
Shen Lan smiled and nodded in agreement.
Lu Xingyue raised his eyebrows, "I didn't go anywhere, I just practiced calligraphy in the house. It was hot in the study, so I just found a thin robe and put it on."
"You can wear more brightly colored clothes in the future." Shen Lansui walked in from the door, "If you don't wear fresh clothes at your age, you won't be able to wear them when you get older."
Lu Xingyue turned around with a smile and sat down beside the couch.
Shen Lansui asked again: "Have you eaten?"
Lu Xingyue shook his head, "Waiting for you."
"Then ask someone to prepare dinner." Shen Lansui gave Guanchun a look, and Guanchun left immediately.
Shan Xia stepped forward and handed the box to Shen Lansui.
Lu Xingyue's eyes fell on it and he had no intention of asking, but Shen Lansui pushed the box in front of him.
"open to take a look."
Lu Xingyue was startled, "For me?"
"Well, I took Zanghua to my jewelry shop today and gave her a hair crown. Thinking about what I haven't given you yet, I prepared a small gift for you. Although it is not expensive, it is also It’s my idea, do you like it?”
The box is only about the size of a palm, but it feels very weighty in the hand and is not light at all.
Lu Xingyue was a little curious about what was inside.
He glanced at Shen Lansui, but Shen Lansui just smiled.
He slowly opened the lid and saw a piece of smooth and delicate jade lying on the red silk cloth, shining softly under the candlelight.
It is a jade pendant with exquisite carving.
He picked up the rope buckle on it, and the tassels attached to the jade pendant hung down, swaying gently, and the blue gradually changed from shallow to deep, like sparkling ocean waves.
"You don't often wear brightly colored clothes, so I'll give you a blue tassel. If you don't like it, you can change it in the future." Shen Lansui asked with implicit expectation: "How is it?"
Lu Xingyue held the jade pendant and rubbed it carefully. There were clusters of flowers engraved on it, and there was nothing taboo about it.
He lowered his eyes and said softly: "I like it very much."
As if afraid that Shen Lansui wouldn't believe it, he raised his head and repeated, "I like it very much."
The corners of her eyes and eyebrows suddenly bloomed with joy, and the center of her eyebrows became even pinker.
Lu Xingyue's heart trembled slightly.
"That's good." Shen Lansui straightened up, just as Shan Xia and the others came in, and they were ready to eat.
They ate and slept in silence. After eating, the two sat on the couch to eat. Lu Xingyue was still playing with the jade pendant. After a long time, he said softly: "Actually, I also have something to give you."
Shen Lansui fiddled with the tea leaves for a moment, "Give it to me?"
She looked back in surprise: "What?"
Lu Xingyue put down the jade pendant and took out a smaller box from his arms, "I got it from the merchant below. It was just delivered today. I think it's very good."
"What are they - earrings?!"
Shen Lansui took it and opened it. Inside were two red agate earrings.
She picked up one and looked at the lamp. The agate was well-proportioned in color, without a trace of impurities. It was smooth and round, with tentacles like jade. It was the finest red agate bead. When placed in her white palm, the contrast was very sharp, like two drops. Fresh blood, beautiful and dangerous.
"So beautiful!" Shen Lansui said in amazement.
Lu Xingyue bent one leg, rested his arm on one hand and stared at her, an imperceptible smile flashed in his blue eyes, "Try to put it on?"
"Yeah!" Shen Lansui nodded vigorously, put down the agate beads, and turned to pick out his own earrings.
Lu Xingyue suddenly said: "I'll help you."
"Huh?" Shen Lansui was about to refuse when Lu Xingyue came closer.
She put one hand on the low table, and she couldn't help but lean back. Lu Xingyue laughed, "Why are you running? Come back."
Shen Lansui pursed her lips and said, "I didn't run away."
She didn't know why she stepped back without thinking. She couldn't explain it because of her body's instinct, but she could be tough.
Lu Xingyue saw through it without telling her, he turned his palm upward and waved lazily at her.
Shen Lansui secretly despised himself for being hopeless, why was he still being coy?
With a heartbeat, she sat directly across from Xiao Ji, leaning forward slightly, "Come on."
Lu Xingyue sat to the side and slowly approached, looking attentively and carefully to take off her previous earrings, then picked up the red agate in the box and put it on her.
This was the first time he put earrings on someone. His movements were a little clumsy and his whole body was tense. When he was looking for the holes, he didn't dare to relax or even blink.
When the ear acupuncture was about to go through, he said, "I'm going to pierce it."
Shen Lansui was originally a little uncomfortable because of his hand, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh softly, "Just prick it, it won't hurt, don't be nervous, it will make you feel like you are going to torture me."
Lu Xingyue licked his lower lip and laughed to himself, "Such delicate work is not as enjoyable as being executed."
He stared at his ears and eyes and slowly passed through, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Shen Lansui laughed, "It really doesn't hurt, it's just a little hot."
hot?
Lu Xingyue suddenly came to his senses and realized that the two people were too close. From his point of view, Shen Lansui was almost trapped in his arms.
The first time he lowered his head, he could kiss her soft earlobe.
Lu Xingyue suddenly let go of his hand. What was he thinking?
Not sure if she noticed his gaze, Shen Lansui's earlobes turned red visibly.
Lu Xingyue took a breath and looked away in panic.
"Lu Yuanzhi?" Seeing that the person behind him didn't move, Shen Lan asked suspiciously, "Why aren't you wearing it?"
"nothing."
Lu Xingyue calmed down and picked up another earring. This time he was much faster. He was familiar with it once and put it on smoothly.
When the ear plugs were put on, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xingyue looked at her from behind. He made sure that both sides were the same length. Then he looked away. When his peripheral vision glanced at the back of her neck, he paused. There was a small red mole on the left side of her neck, just above the collar. .
That point fell into his eyes like sparks, instantly destroying the reason he had built up before.
He didn't want to look, but couldn't help but look.
It happened that Shen Lansui asked unconsciously: "Does it look good?"
Lu Xingyue suddenly took a deep breath and closed his eyes. The hands hanging by his sides were clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were visible.
A little red in the snow is naturally very beautiful.
Shen Lansui didn't hear the response and was about to turn around: "You——"
"Don't move!" Lu Xingyue said almost fiercely.
Shen Lansui was startled and froze in place, "What's wrong?"
It's nothing, I just feel guilty and dare not look at her directly.
Lu Xingyue exhaled slowly and rubbed his fingertips hard over her small mole, "There are bugs."
Shen Lansui: "???"
"Did you drop it?"
Lu Xingyue tried his best to suppress his roiling emotions and said calmly: "Well, no more."
"Then can I move?" Shen Lansui asked softly.
Lu Xingyue was silent for a moment, then laughed as if he was giving up on himself, "Yes."
That’s it, that’s it.
Shen Lansui slowly turned around and smiled at him. His eyes were spotless and bright as before, reflecting his dirty and coveted heart hidden under his skin.
The two earrings swayed slightly, and I don't know which heartstring was struck. (End of chapter)
