Chapter 404 Ornaments
Chapter 404 Ornaments
Bai Yuan didn't say much. He took the pendant out of the box and played with it in his hand.
The ornaments have a certain weight, but are not so heavy as to be gaudy and cumbersome.
The touch is warm and delicate, and it does not look like ordinary silver jewelry. Instead, it feels like something between jade and porcelain.
The silver chain was very long. When Bai Yuan picked it up, it fell along her fingers all the way to her wrist, making a tinkling sound as they collided with each other.
Then, in front of Wen Yiche, she tied the pendant to her violin case.
"Thank you for the gift. I like it very much." said Bai Yuan.
"As long as you like it."
Wen Yi Che watched Bai Yuan's actions, his eyes tinged with warmth. He raised his hand with a smile, gently rubbed Bai Yuan's head, a trace of attachment and reluctance flashed in his eyes.
"Let it accompany you while I'm abroad."
Since he knew that he might be replaced by someone else, Wen Yi Che was unwilling to just sit there and wait for the impending end.
He looked at the pendant that Bai Yuan had tied to the piano case, which perfectly matched the girl's clothes and temperament. The uneasy feeling in his heart was stabilized again.
Reinforce it when the marks fade.
When the position is empty, move it up again.
If it doesn't work once, just try it twice or three times...
...one day.
Wen Yi Che suppressed his thoughts and suddenly took a step forward, closing the distance between him and Bai Yuan. The hand that was rubbing her head also moved down to hold her shoulders. He held her in his arms with a heavy yet gentle strength, tightening his arms and pressing her against himself.
The girl's body is softer than the boy's, and the cold scent of pine lingers in his nostrils. Everything is so familiar that Wen Yiche can't help but be dazed for a moment, as if he has returned to the past, the days when the two of them sat in the piano room and practiced the piano together every sunny afternoon.
It's warm and cozy, giving people the illusion that it will continue like this until the end of time.
Wen Yi Che was distracted for a moment, and his originally silent heart began to waver again because of this hug.
The desire to return home sprouted in his heart, growing wildly at an unprecedented momentum, devouring his sanity, and clamoring for him to give up everything and just go back with Bai Yuan.
"Bai Yuan, I--" Wen Yi Che's lips moved, and just as he was about to say something, he felt a strong gaze that seemed to pierce through him and stab him from behind.
Wen Yi Che looked sideways in this posture, with a cold light in his eyes, but the next second, he met Pei Jin's hostile gaze, which suddenly deflated his impulses and dissipated them all, and he retreated back to the corner where the sun did not shine.
After calming down a little and regaining his senses, Wen Yiche could hear his cousin Wu Chu's words again.
I can’t cause trouble to Bai Yuan, I can’t cause her any distress, and I can’t become a burden to her.
The warnings hammered into his heart again and again like a sledgehammer, completely crushing his last bit of delusion of indulgence.
Bai Yuan already has someone she is dating, and they will have an engagement ceremony in the future... Pei Jin is the person who is most qualified to be with her and walk hand in hand with her.
And I... must also be careful to keep a distance from Bai Yuan, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings to the other party, thus affecting the relationship between Bai Yuan and Pei Jin.
Thinking of this, Wen Yiche swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and changed his words:
"You...be careful on the road, and remember to let me know when you get home."
As he spoke, he suppressed all the reluctance and unnecessary emotions in his eyes, let go of Bai Yuan, and said softly:
"Go back. I'll come back to find you when I'm done with my work here."
Half an hour later, on a plane at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Pei Jin stared at the silver feather pendant hanging on Bai Yuan's musical instrument case.
He had seen similar feather ornaments on Bai Yuan's guitar case before, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
After all, it is not uncommon to hang decorations on school bags, mobile phones and various places.
But Bai Yuan did not have a similar habit. In fact, compared with the decorations that other girls in the same school were concerned about, hers was already extremely unique.
Pei Jin had thought that she didn't like these accessories before, but after seeing the ornaments on her piano case, he gave up the idea.
Don’t you like this too?
Just don't hang it anywhere else.
As for why it was only hung on the violin case, Pei Jin guessed that it might be due to Bai Yuan’s love for the violin?
If you like something, you will naturally pay more attention to it.
But I never expected...
This pendant was actually given by Wen Yiche!!!
What does this mean?
This shows that what Bai Yuan values is probably not the violin, but the person who gave her the pendant!!!
Thinking about how they were once perfect musical partners, Pei Jin became more certain of his guess.
Isn't this just seeing things reminding you of someone? !
He automatically ignored the fact that after Bai Yuan replaced the violin given by Pei's mother, he never used the previous violin case or wore any ornaments. He stared intently at the exquisitely crafted feather inlaid with gray gems. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Wen Yi Che was deliberately asserting his sovereignty over him.
Giving Bai Yuan such a gift before leaving, isn't it just to disgust me and make me an eyesore!!!
Because Pei Jin's gaze was too strong, it was already to the point that Bai Yuan could not ignore it, which caused Bai Yuan to turn his head to look at him, following the trajectory of his gaze, which finally fell on the ornament on the piano case.
"Do you like it?" Bai Yuan asked, while reaching out to untie it and handing it to Pei Jin, "It was given to you by a friend, so I can't give it to you, but it's okay to just take a look at it."
Facing Pei Jin's slightly surprised look, Bai Yuan smiled and said, "If you really like it, I'll give you another one."
As she spoke, she curled her lips with interest, revealing a rare hint of teasing, "Why do you always like the things that others give me?"
These words seemed familiar.
This thought flashed through Pei Jin's mind, and he quickly recalled the familiar reason.
He remembered that at the birthday party held by Bai Yuan when she first came to Haiqi, he stared at her brooch for a long time, and Bai Yuan seemed to have said something similar.
And the brooch that Bai Yuan gave him later is still in his bedroom.
Great!!! It turns out that brooch was also given by Wen Yiche!!!
Finally I thought of helping him find someone!!!
Pei Jin somehow connected the two things together.
This further proves that Wen Yiche and Bai Yuan have a close relationship, and Bai Yuan also cares about Wen Yiche very much.
The person is no longer in the country, but he is still doing these shady things, trying to remind people of the people by seeing the objects.
When he returns to Haiqi, he will mobilize all the resources and connections he can to find eight or ten blind dates for Wen Yiche so that he won't have time to think about these trivial things!
Pei Jin thought with dissatisfaction.
But since Bai Yuan had already misunderstood, he was not going to explain. What was there to explain? There was no need to explain!
"But I like this one. I think the one you have is the best. Can you give it to me?"
Pei Jin pretended to be fond of the pendant and took it in his hand, then pulled it down by the chain and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.
Don't tell me...
Anyone who knows the value of things can tell that this thing took a lot of effort to make. The gray gem embedded in the end of the feather creates a perfect gradient in the color of the feather. There is no trace of connection or transition at all, which is enough to show the care and sincerity of the person who gave the gift.
From the materials to the workmanship, it is truly something you can only come across by chance.
You know what... you’re quite good at giving gifts.
After reading the details of the pendant, Pei Jin shook his wrist and grabbed the pendant by the chain in his palm.
The young man lowered his eyes slightly, tilted his face to find the right angle, lowered his head slightly, and his azure blue eyes under his long and thick eyelashes turned and glanced at Bai Yuan waterily, and a thin layer of pleading slowly filled his eyes.
"Please, Bai Yuan..."
Afraid of being heard by others when he was acting coquettish, Pei Jin deliberately lowered his voice, which was soft and flattering, like a hooked feather, gently scraping Bai Yuan's ear.
The hot air exhaled also hit Bai Yuan's ears, which startled Bai Yuan slightly and made half of his body feel numb.
Facing Pei Jin like this, Bai Yuan opened her mouth, and the words "Don't act like a spoiled child" went around in her mouth for a few times, and finally she swallowed them and changed them to:
"Play with it for a while if you like, and give it to me before you get off the plane."
Although he still didn't change his attitude easily, he had already given the maximum leniency.
After all, it was a gift given to him by someone else. No matter how much Pei Jin liked it, he couldn't just give it to him so easily. Doing so would be extremely disrespectful to Wen Yiche.
Bai Yuan's upbringing also prevented her from doing something like giving her friends' gifts to other people, as that would be too tasteless.
Since Pei Jin likes it so much, she will ask Wen Yiche where he ordered the pendant after getting off the plane, and then order one for Pei Jin.
Although he knew that his request was too unreasonable and had long known that this might be the answer, after hearing Bai Yuan's answer, Pei Jin couldn't help but reveal a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Bai Yuan saw this look of disappointment clearly. She thought Pei Jin was disappointed because she rejected his request and did not get the pendant from her.
Thinking about how Young Master Pei used to always respond to requests and get what he wanted immediately, this was indeed unfair to him.
Bai Yuan patiently comforted him in a slow voice and reasoned with him, "I will arrange it as soon as possible and won't make you wait too long, but this is really not possible. After all, you don't want me to give the gift you gave me to someone else, right?"
Then, she reached out her hand to touch his face, patted it twice, and rubbed her thumb across the red teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, scratching it with a little force.
"Be good and obey."
Hearing this, Pei Jin curled his lips, tilted his head, and fell on Bai Yuan's shoulder along Bai Yuan's palm.
"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Master, I have seen all kinds of rare things. I don't want them!"
After saying that, he angrily slapped the pendant he was holding in his palm back into Bai Yuan's hand.
The boy's palm was much bigger than Bai Yuan's, and just by fitting it in this way, it completely covered Bai Yuan's palm.
The cold pendant was held between the two people's palms. The surface texture and the hard material of the gem made it feel a little rough to the touch.
Bai Yuan clasped his five fingers together and was about to take the pendant from Pei Jin's hand when he suddenly felt the pressure and resistance from Pei Jin.
Bai Yuan raised her eyes and glanced at him, only to see that Pei Jin seemed unintentional and did not express anything. However, the five fingers that were pressing on her hand bent up little by little, and the fingertips scratched her knuckles lightly, and finally slipped into the gaps between her fingers that she had deliberately loosened.
Pei Jin held Bai Yuan's hand tightly, and with Bai Yuan's cooperation, his ten fingers were tightly interlocked.
This was the first time Pei Jin made such a teasing and suggestive gesture towards Bai Yuan. Compared to his calm appearance, his heart was already in a mess.
Not only was his heart beating violently in his chest, but heat and a blush also slowly crept up his face.
Pei Jin tightly grasped Bai Yuan's hand again. The temperature of his palm was completely different from usual, and it easily made the pendant between their hands hot.
The heat seemed to be branding his heart, crackling like frying oil, or exploding one after another like fireworks, making him feel a little dizzy.
Bai Yuan's gaze fell on Pei Jin's ears, which were red enough to seem to bleed, and he said nothing more.
During the rest of the flight, he maintained this posture of holding hands with Pei Jin, with fingers interlocked, until the plane landed smoothly at Haiqi Airport.
This can be considered as "giving it back to her before getting off the plane" in a sense.
Pei Jin's team successfully won the first prize in the Global High School Physics Competition. Teams participating in competitions in other subjects also brought back similar good news in the same month.
Looking around, even if they didn't win first place, most of them maintained a good result in the top three, and only a few got fourth place, but even so, they were very close to the third place in the same game, with a difference of only two points.
The annual "Competition Month" came to a successful conclusion with outstanding results. The principal was naturally overjoyed. Not only did he praise all the participating students at the school assembly, he also held a small celebration banquet for each team.
The banquet venue was naturally hurriedly arranged by Bai Yuan and the members of the Student Union.
After three whole days of hard work, we finally finished setting it up before the party date.
Bai Yuan:......
Fortunately, Bai Yuan is already in his third year of high school and has recently begun looking for a successor to the position of president. He has started to train new people and handle the handover of work between old and new employees.
Most of the banquets were arranged by her successor. She was only responsible for providing guidance, giving opinions and suggestions, and did not have to do anything herself, so she had relatively little time.
After the "competition month" is over, as a senior high school student, you will soon face the most important exam in your life - the college entrance examination.
The atmosphere in the class became more tense and lively.
In previous competitions, many people have received direct admission offers from prestigious universities around the world.
But even so, they did not relax at all for the College Entrance Examination.
The college entrance examination is the most valuable examination recognized nationwide so far, so the college entrance examination results are also particularly important to them.
