Gu Luoqi decided to open it and take a look, her eyes fixed on the small box.

"It doesn't have to be that bad, does it? Qi Sheng isn't a stingy person." The system couldn't stand it anymore.

“No, you don’t understand,” she said calmly.

Although Qi Sheng is indeed not stingy, he is perfunctory.

What if he just grabs something from somewhere to fob her off?

"Of course, if it's a gift from him, I'll cherish it even if it's just a broken stone," she said after a pause.

After all, they used to dislike each other, but now he's willing to give her gifts. That's a complete 180-degree turn in attitude. What unreasonable demands could she possibly make?

Upon hearing this, the system immediately shut up. It suddenly remembered that it had only gotten a stone from its newbie gift pack. This topic couldn't continue, or it would be nagged by her for a long time.

Gu Luoqi opened the box and made no attempt to hide the surprise in her eyes when she saw what was inside.

Inside, a delicate wooden bracelet lay quietly, with a small, crystal-clear pendant in the center. The pendant wasn't large, so it didn't look out of place. It was adorned with two beads of different colors on either side, complementing each other perfectly.

She picked up the bracelet, admiring it closely, and asked, "What kind of wood is this?"

Qi Sheng had been paying attention to her expression the whole time. When he saw her surprised look, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he said, "I just picked it up on the road. I don't know anything about it."

Gu Luoxi's mind went blank upon hearing this. She just assumed he was being stubborn. Who would throw away such an exquisite bracelet for no reason?

Fortunately, the system has no physical form, otherwise it might roll its eyes in disbelief.

"Host, is it possible that Qi Sheng meant he just picked up a piece of wood on the street and made the bracelet himself?!"

It felt that it deserved much credit for easing the tension between them.

Without it, this family would fall apart sooner or later.

A slight look of surprise flashed in Gu Luoqi's eyes. "Is that what he meant?"

"Otherwise what?" For some reason, the system sometimes felt that there was a kind of clear stupidity in this guy's eyes.

"Then you can only blame him for speaking ambiguously!" Gu Luoqi retorted stubbornly.

Although she was stubborn, she turned to him and asked, "Did you make this yourself?"

Qi Sheng remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Having received his affirmation, he smiled and said, "That's amazing, I really like it, thank you."

She assured that this was the most perfect birthday gift she had ever received.

Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng's brows relaxed considerably, but his tone remained indifferent, "If you like it, that's good."

Gu Luoqi decided to forgive this guy for his hypocrisy.

"Wait a minute." With that, she immediately went out and ran back to her room; she hadn't given her gift yet.

However, because the gift Qi Sheng gave her was so amazing, she felt a little embarrassed to give it back.

Two minutes later, the gift she had prepared was successfully delivered to him, while Qi Sheng, holding the box, was somewhat at a loss.

"This is a birthday present for you. I hope you like it," she said with a smile.

She noticed his awkwardness, but didn't point it out. "It's getting late, I'm going back now. Goodnight."

After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving him standing there stunned for a long time.

After returning to her room, Gu Luoxi carefully examined a bracelet that Qi Sheng had given her.

Each bead is round and smooth, showing that the person who made it put a lot of care into it.

The small crystal pendant has not been overly decorated, retaining its natural shape.

"System, what kind of wood is this?" Although Qi Sheng didn't tell her at the time, the system should know, otherwise what use would it be?

"Based on my analysis, this should be peach wood, the blue beads are turquoise, the red ones are cinnabar, and the small pendant is natural crystal," the system replied.

"Peach wood? Did Qi Sheng give me this to attract love?" she asked, somewhat puzzled.

This doesn't seem very scientific, and she doesn't really need any romantic opportunities.

"Is it possible that this is for warding off evil spirits?" The system was once again speechless at her statement.

Actually, if she can't speak properly, she doesn't have to. Why say things that are infuriating?
