Chapter 47 The Real Bracelet

Su Pu walked for a long time.

So long that after finishing his official business, Li Jichuan even looked up the meaning of Pavlov's dog.

Cough cough, he's not a dog!

But he was indeed happy when he thought of Su Pu.

The entire event was declared over, and the organizers had to clear the venue. Li Jichuan and Anderson had no choice but to move to the gate.

As night fell, stars lit up the sky and slowly moved overhead.

Anderson, tired of waiting, pouted and speculated.

"Do you think we've been tricked? Su Pu has already won second place in such a big competition, he can easily kick you out!"

Li Jichuan chuckled and echoed, "You never know!"

He shook his head and changed his mind, "However, Su Pu would definitely not do that."

Anderson couldn't stand him like that, and goosebumps rose all over his body. "Shut up!"

Li Jichuan stared at the bracelet on his wrist.

"Su Pu will definitely come back."

Finally, a series of footsteps echoed in the empty parking lot. Su Pu ran towards them, braving the autumn night wind.

"Slow down, why are you running?"

Li Jichuan remotely controlled the wheelchair, moving it a considerable distance to shorten the distance between the two.

Anderson found it so sour he couldn't bear to look at it.

Su Pu ran a long way, and her cheeks were flushed from the heat.

Sweat evaporated in the cool night, as if rising as wisps of white vapor.

Finally, they met in the center of the empty parking lot. Su Pu wanted to type, but his hands and feet were sore.

She simply plopped down in front of Li Jichuan's wheelchair.

When Li Jichuan saw Su Pu so exhausted for the first time, he was surprised but felt even more heartache.

She quickly reached out to wipe his sweat.

Su Pu took a long time to recover before finally starting to type.

Traffic was terrible in the city, it was impossible to get a taxi. I took the subway to a nearby location and came to pick you up.

Li Jichuan asked, puzzled, "What exactly did you go to do? Why were you in such a hurry? Couldn't you have gone home to tell me?"

Su Pu shook his head, wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, and then wiped his sweaty hands on his clothes.

Then, with reverence and solemnity, he took out a flat box from the backpack behind him.

Li Jichuan's mind raced. "This is...?"

Su Pu opened the box, and inside was a jade bracelet.

It's a very expensive jade bracelet, of excellent quality, and genuine.

Su Pu smiled, his smile brimming with youthful vigor and courage.

He grabbed the jade bracelet and, without saying a word, slipped it onto Li Jichuan's wrist.

It's as if even a second's delay is a waste.

The person he loves must possess the most authentic and best things in the world... Although Su Pu can't afford the most expensive bracelet in the store yet, this is already the limit of his ability.

“Your bonus…” Li Jichuan belatedly realized something.

After working so hard to prepare for the competition, finally winning the prize and getting the money, I went and bought him a bracelet?

How stupid is that?

"Didn't you give me a bracelet?" Li Jichuan shook the bracelet on his other hand. "Wasn't this left to you by your mother?"

Su Pu shook his head and wrote with a simple smile.

That's fake, this is real.

"Who cares if it's real or fake?" Li Jichuan was a little anxious; he didn't care about such things at all.

Importantly, Su Pu gave himself the keepsake his mother had left him.

This is its unparalleled value!

Make sure you wear it properly!

Su Pu looked serious.

My husband has to wear the best!

...Although this isn't the best either. The little mute boy grumbled indignantly.

Upon seeing the words "my husband," Li Jichuan instantly lost the urge to argue.

Well, he's someone's husband now, so he should wear the best. He'll wear whatever they give him.

Seeing that he accepted his bracelet, the little mute boy smiled with relief, then got up and went to remove the fake bracelet.

"Hey, what's up?"

Li Jichuan withdrew his hand. "You want back what you gave to someone else?"

Su Pu hurriedly denied it: 【It's fake!】

Li Jichuan looked at him, wondering why this man still didn't understand.

It never matters whether it's true or false; what you give is the truth.

“Then I’ll take it too…” Li Jichuan hid his hand behind his back, pressing it between his back and the back of the wheelchair, and Su Pu couldn’t pull it out no matter how hard she tried.

"You spent all your bonus on this?"

Li Jichuan examined the new bracelet; judging by its quality, it should be worth more than 30,000 yuan…

Su Pu nodded.

In addition to the 15,000, he took out another 50,000 from his own savings.

Before moving into Li Jichuan's apartment, the little mute endured humiliation and lived in that small single room, just wanting to save enough money as soon as possible to buy his own small house.

After moving into Li Jichuan's apartment, the little mute boy had a warm home and many family members who encouraged and cared for him. He couldn't imagine that there was a place in the world more suitable to be called "home".

So, since he already has a family, it's not unreasonable for him to take out his "family fund" to buy a bracelet for the person he likes and get a genuine smile from him, right?

With this in mind, Su Pu agreed to participate in the competition.

Actually, the participation prize was a shopping mall voucher, which could be used to get a 5% discount on bracelets. That was what he originally wanted.

He never expected to win second place, which earned him a prize that exceeded his expectations and increased his budget.

What a wonderful day!

Li Jichuan stared at the bracelet, a sudden pang of sadness rising in his heart.

Su Pu is so grateful and devoted to her husband. If her terrible father had married her off to someone else, would she have been just as good to that "husband"?

How could this be?!

Jealousy quickly engulfed Li Jichuan's chest, burning fiercely like wildfire.

He wanted to possess Su Pu entirely, including this person's loveliness, earnestness, simplicity, beauty, purity, obsession, and clumsiness.

Including this person's past and future, his lost voice, the bitterness he swallowed, the loneliness he endured, and his sleepless nights.

Li Jichuan longed to become an opaque dome, enclosing Su Pu within it, where he would give her a field of roses with gentle breezes, clear skies, and never-fading blooms…

He only asked that Su Pu never leave his side again.

Anderson walked slowly, tentatively interrupting this beautiful scene.

"Hey, can you two talk about this at home? There's no need to do it here, it's like you two don't even sleep in the same bed at night..."

Su Pu's cheeks flushed even redder. She stood up and typed a message on her phone.

"Excuse me, could I use the restroom? Sorry..."

Anderson scoffed, "What are you being so polite about? Look how scared you are. Go on, we'll wait for you here."

After receiving permission, Su Pu quickly ran to the bathroom.

"Slow down, I'm waiting for you..."

Li Jichuan's voice followed his retreating figure...

After he left, the parking lot remained quiet for a long time.

Anderson deliberately avoided speaking; he had no intention of hearing Li Jichuan open his mouth.

He opens his thin lips and utters things that are just too sweet for him to hear.

"no……"

Li Jichuan finally spoke.

"What?" Anderson didn't react.

Li Jichuan played with the new bracelet on his wrist; it fit his wrist perfectly.

This guy probably secretly measured his wrist circumference.

Li Jichuan let out a breath and spoke in a deep voice.

"You asked me if I'm serious about Su Pu? No."

Anderson asked in surprise, "Huh?"

"It's not that I was serious about him; I never intended to neglect him from the very beginning. I was serious from the start..."

"Perhaps, everything became real from the moment that fake bracelet was put on my wrist."

"I've always been very serious."

Li Jichuan finally faced his own heart.

So what if Su Pu falls in love with him? He wants Su Pu to fall in love with him; he's afraid Su Pu won't love him.

He should have realized this long ago, but he only understands it now.

Between him and Su Pu, who is the fool?

"So what's the plan? Are you going to pursue Su Pu?" Anderson asked.

Li Jichuan nodded, then added, "I'm not worthy of pursuing him yet. He's too good..."

"I need to try harder to give him enough reason to notice me and fall in love with me."

Su Pu is the best person in the world and deserves the best lover in the world.

Li Jichuan can only try his best!
