Chapter 98 I feel like it was cast by you
The temple fair was held for more than ten days until the end of the Chinese Valentine's Day.
Jinli belatedly checked the calendar on his phone and found that the second day of the Chinese Valentine's Day this year happened to be August 8th in the Gregorian calendar, Xie Jiyan's birthday.
She was suddenly confused.
I don’t know if I should choose a birthday gift for him.
However, given that his mother was going to be sacrificed that day, he shouldn't be in the mood to accept gifts, right?
After walking into the Intangible Cultural Heritage Embroidery Hall, I picked out a few sachets, hand-embroidered bags, and other small objects that symbolize good fortune for my colleagues in the company.
Jinli stood in front of a glass display window and took a fancy to a mother-of-pearl cufflink with exquisite craftsmanship.
She was thinking that with a refined and outstanding temperament like Xie Jiyan's, it would be more appropriate to have flowers hidden on her sleeves and be fragrant.
Jinli decided to buy it and asked the shop owner to put it in a delicate embroidered brocade box and put it separately in her new Chinese-style cloud bag.
Waiting for an opportunity to give it to him.
At this time, the night has filled the entire sky like splashing ink, the streets and alleys are noisy with gongs and drums, fireworks and firecrackers are rising one after another, and the statues of the local gods are invited out of the temples to accept incense from the people.
Jinli pretended to be reserved: "I've come to Nicheng myself, why are you giving me souvenirs?"
I don't know what's inside.
It makes Jinli blush and make her heart beat faster than holding hands.
"Here you go." Xie Jiyan made no secret.
"Souvenir?" Jinli blinked her eyelashes lightly, "Who is it for?"
He said: "I bought lotus lanterns and souvenirs."
It's a small gift bag.
This action is both subtle and ambiguous.
Hand her the small gift bag.
When he came back, he had something in his hand.
"This is different." Without further explanation, Xie Jiyan gently pulled the corner of her sleeve and led her towards the ancient lake bridge.
While she was buying cufflinks, Xie Jiyan didn't know where to go.
Xie Ji stood tall and tall in the noisy street, his eyes as tender and tender as when he gave her the pear blossom hosta before.
Jinli was quite curious, "What did you go shopping for?"
"what is the difference?"
She followed his steps docilely and obediently. The red lanterns and colored lights on the trees on the shore elongated his figure. Every step she took was in his shadow, as if she was destined to be trapped in his world in this life.
Xie Jiyan didn't answer. He led her into the awning boat, covering it with mist and gauze.
The boatman paddled forward.
He took out a small lotus lantern, two small signatures, and a pen from the gift bag, and said, "Pray for a wish."
"You haven't answered my question yet." Jinli said persistently as she took the pen.
Xie Jiyan spread the small note on the small coffee table, obviously deliberately ignoring: "Concentrate on writing your wishes."
Jinli had to give up for now.
She carefully wrote in the small note: Lord God, please grant me money, wealth and freedom.
Name: Jinli.
The word freedom is clearly a subtext of not wanting to be bound by marriage.
Xie Jiyan's heart sank slightly while she was concentrating on folding the wishing strip and stuffing it into the base of the lotus lantern.
He wrote on his little note: God, please fulfill her wish and use all my wealth in exchange for her freedom.
Name: Xie Jiyan.
Use his wealth in exchange for her freedom?
Wouldn't that be equivalent to... marrying her with a huge fortune?
Jinli glanced at it inadvertently and frowned slightly: "Show me what wish you wrote."
"I don't have any wishes, just writing them down." Xie Jiyan casually kneaded them into small balls and stuffed them into the base of the lotus lantern.
Then, remove the yarn, put it on the lake, and let it drift with the current.
Jinli felt it was unfair: "Why can you see my wish, but I can't see yours? Get it back quickly. I don't want to stay with your wish. I feel like it has been cast by you. I Want to reapply!”
"Don't make trouble." Xie Jiyan stopped her from trying to get the lotus lantern and coaxed: "You can only make a wish once, and it won't work if you make it again."
"I don't care, you pay for my wishes, I want wealth, I want freedom!"
"Okay, I'll pay you." Xie Jiyan grabbed her hands that were beating wildly, "Don't capsize the boat, or you'll be on the headlines tomorrow."
After hearing this, Jinli calmed down a little.
She calmed down for a while, then turned her eyes to the small gift bag and said, "What souvenir do you want to give me? Open it and let me see it."
Under the gift bag, there is a rectangular gift box.
Quite big.
At least many times bigger than her little brocade box containing mother-of-pearl and pear-shaped cufflinks.
Xie Jiyan said, "I'll watch it when I get home."
