Tang Miao broke up with her boyfriend of ten years. Her boyfriend had fallen in love at first sight with the daughter of the corporation he worked for. After learning he had a girlfriend, the young...
They didn't have rings when they got married.
Later, neither of them bought it or wore it.
Tang Miao had selfish motives at that time. She was planning to divorce He Xiao after she had a showdown with Ke Yi and Ji Junlin. So she didn't think of telling anyone about their relationship. Even Yu Yaya and Qi Yuan didn't know.
Wearing a ring is a kind of identity statement to a certain extent. It means you have a lover or you are married. So Tang Miao never mentioned the ring.
Tang Miao didn't mention it, and He Xiao didn't say anything either. The two of them lived in a marriage that was like a castle in the air. The castle in the air collapsed, and they rebuilt the foundation. Now they are living the life she has always longed for.
She has lover, marriage, family, and the symbol of her having all of these: the ring on her hand.
When the ring was put on her finger, the heat from her body was soon transferred to the ring. The coolness of the ring was dispelled, and the ring seemed to merge into one with her finger and her.
Tang Miao raised her finger and looked at the gem on the ring. The gem was sky blue, opaque, with white cat's eye patterns inside, shimmering under the light, very beautiful, very gentle. It was like her, calm on the outside, and wrapped in light on the inside.
Tang Miao liked it very much. She had never seen such a stone before, but she liked it at first sight. It seemed to be carefully selected and tailor-made for her. It was her ring.
Tang Miao raised her hand and looked at it. After the temperature in the ring merged with her body temperature, it also radiated to the skin at the base of her fingers. Tang Miao's skin, which was connected to her nerves and heart, became warm and soft.
She looked for a long time, then raised her eyes to look at He Xiao who was standing beside the bed.
"You brought it here with you." Tang Miao said.
He Xiao took his eyes off the ring on her finger and looked up at her.
"Yeah." He Xiao responded, and then said: "But in fact, it was done a long time ago."
After He Xiao and Tang Miao got married, Tang Miao never mentioned the ring, and He Xiao didn't ask. But even though he didn't ask, on the day of their wedding, he picked out the stone and sent it to a friend of his, asking him to help make a ring.
The ring was made and mailed to him before they returned to South City. He had kept it at home. At the time, he thought that if Tang Miao didn't like it, then just leave it there. If Tang Miao wanted it, he could just give it to her.
After returning to South City, a series of misfortunes occurred. The two separated, and half a year later, he came to find Tang Miao. Before leaving, he also took the ring with him.
After the incident in Nancheng, he already understood Tang Miao's feelings and the reason why he didn't mention wanting the ring. This time he came to solve the problem, and after the problem was solved, he would also give the ring to Tang Miao.
Whether it is the feelings or the form, they are different from before.
This will give Tang Miao a sense of security.
After He Xiao said this, he looked at Tang Miao and asked, "Do you like it?"
When He Xiao said "it was done a long time ago", the light in Tang Miao's eyes dimmed slightly. Before his emotions collapsed along with his gaze, Tang Miao turned his gaze to the ring on his hand.
She looked at the sapphire on the ring and said, "I like it."
"It's a very beautiful stone." Tang Miao said, "What is it?"
"I don't know." He Xiao said.
After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao paused while looking at the ring. A smile appeared in her eyes and she looked at He Xiao. Seeing the smile in her eyes, He Xiao leaned over and kissed her eyes again.
"I picked it up when I went out to collect folk songs."
“I asked the locals, but they didn’t know either.”
“But I liked it so much that I stayed.”
At this point, He Xiao paused, looked at Tang Miao, and said, "My grandmother said that love doesn't necessarily care about the price, but it does care about the value. The only thing that is priceless is this stone."
The smile in Tang Miao's eyes deepened.
"You don't talk much." Tang Miao turned her body sideways, her hands on He Xiao's cheeks, a smile on her lips.
“But write so many songs.”
"I thought you must be good at saying sweet words."
"It's just that we don't talk about it very often." Tang Miao said.
After being evaluated by Tang Miao, He Xiao looked at her with a deeper look. He tilted his head and kissed her finger with the ring on it, saying.
"I'll talk more later."
"No need." Tang Miao laughed, "Let's talk about it later if you want to."
"good."
One of them stood, the other lay down, and they talked a lot about the ring. It was getting darker and darker. It seemed like dawn was coming. It was always darkest before dawn.
He Xiao didn't sleep much the whole night.
It was okay for He Xiao to stay up all night. But Tang Miao still had a fever, so she needed to rest more and not have too much emotional fluctuation. The two talked for a while, and He Xiao put her hand into the quilt and said.
"Go to sleep."
"I'll take your temperature again tomorrow."
After being reminded by He Xiao, Tang Miao snuggled in the bed, rubbing the gem on the ring on his finger, and responded with a smile.
After Tang Miao responded, he closed his eyes and really went to sleep. He Xiao looked at Tang Miao who closed his eyes, but did not lie down for a while. He stood there and watched for a long time, and finally, he withdrew his arm, sat on the lower bunk of Tang Miao, and lay down with his clothes on.
After he lay down, Tang Miao opened her eyes and took her finger out of the quilt again. She looked at the ring on her finger and touched the smooth and warm stone on it.
She felt that she was really like this stone now.
