In all his years of life, Ye Zhou has only ever given one person a proper gift.

He once considered that person his life.

He knew what that person liked: pink, luxury goods, bags, and clothes.

She possessed all the characteristics of a worldly woman.

That person was also very picky; she would throw away or give away things she didn't like.

However, Ye Zhou in his previous life loved her terribly, even regarding her flaws as virtues.

But now, facing An Youhe, this is the first time Ye Zhou has celebrated another girl's birthday.

And she's the girl he wants to cherish, so he wants to take her seriously.

Now, it might be hard for others to believe that Ye Zhou knew about An Youhe's family situation and personality, but didn't know what this girl actually liked.

Without thinking, Liu Tian swallowed the biscuit in his mouth and said, "Girls have a lot on their minds, you'd never guess them. But no girl can resist something valuable."

For example, Chanel and YSL—what girl wouldn't be moved by these luxury brands? It's just that we can't afford them, sigh!

Ye Zhou: "..."

In his past life, he gave women quite a few of these things, usually after the fact, and they would never contact each other again after the date was over.

But he didn't think An Youhe would like these things.

Ye Zhou patted Liu Tian on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Not all girls like these things, Xiao Tian, ​​your awareness needs improvement."

...

"Sir, who are you buying this as a gift for?" The shop assistant came over to greet him, speaking with a Guangxi accent.

Ye Zhou looked at the dazzling array of necklaces in the display case and replied:

"For a girl."

"If you're giving this to a girl, I'd recommend this necklace." As she spoke, the salesperson took a silver necklace out of the glass display case.

"This necklace is made of sterling silver, and the central Möbius strip symbolizes endless cycles. Loving you is both the beginning and the end; starting from any point, you will always return to the original position."

Furthermore, the edges of the Möbius strip are inlaid with moissanite, a gemstone that shines even brighter than diamonds!

"Okay, I'll buy it."

The shop assistant exclaimed in surprise, "Wasabi, you're so fast! I haven't even finished explaining yet!"

...

Inside the noodle shop, An Youhe ate her noodles, glancing uncertainly at Ye Zhou across from her once more.

"Are you really not going to work today?"

"It's your birthday today, so you're getting a day off."

While An Youhe was still in shock, Ye Zhou took out a gift bag that he had prepared long ago.

"Open it and take a look."

An Youhe seemed not to have reacted for a moment, and blankly followed Ye Zhou's instructions to take out the items from the gift bag.

It's a small white rabbit doll, only the size of a palm, fluffy and very cute.

There is a silver necklace where the rabbit's head and body meet.

An Youhe carefully touched the necklace with her hand.

She looked up at Ye Zhou and said, "This must be very expensive, right? I can't take it."

Ye Zhou smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Do you like it?"

The girl looked down at the necklace intently; of course she liked it. She liked anything Ye Zhou gave her.

She couldn't accept anything too expensive.

"Ye Zhou, I'll accept the rabbit, but let's return this necklace together! We'll buy another one when we have more money later."

For a moment, Ye Zhou didn't know what to say, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

An Youhe is so sensible that it's almost heartbreaking.

"Okay, but I want to give you something that will remind you of me every time you see it."

An Youhe lowered her head and remained silent.

Then, as if remembering something, she smiled again and said, "I understand."

A fair hand awkwardly took Ye Zhou's hand, and the two walked towards the street.

Ye Zhou was somewhat taken aback, after all, this was the first time An Youhe had taken his hand on her own initiative.

Last time at the street corner, An Youhe actually jumped up and kissed him; just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm melting.

There are stalls on the street selling all kinds of thin ropes twisted from red ropes, with tiny little things attached to them.

Some had a small tag attached to the red rope, with various words written on it.

A cardboard box had a sign that read: "One yuan each, pick and choose as you like."

In the sweltering summer, it's easy for two people to sweat when they hold hands. By the time the girl let go of Ye Zhou's hand, Ye Zhou's palms were already covered in fine sweat.

An Youhe's heart was pounding, and her bright almond-shaped eyes looked at Ye Zhou with expectation.

Ye Zhou glanced at the mountain of red ropes. "Are you sure you only want this?"

An Youhe nodded heavily, a shy smile on her face.

Then she lifted her trouser legs, revealing a red string adorning her fair, jade-like ankles, with a small tag threaded through the middle that read "Peace and Joy".

An Youhe explained, "My mother put this on me before, and I've worn it ever since. It's been six years now. Although it's a rope, it's of very good quality. As long as it's not untied, it won't break."

At this point, the girl's expression turned slightly sad.

After all, both of her parents died unexpectedly.

Ye Zhou fiddled with the thin red rope on the stall, searching around, while An Youhe watched with wide eyes.

After searching for a while, Ye Zhou smiled and picked up one from among the many red ropes.

It was a red string with a little white rabbit head on it.

"This is for you, do you like it?"

"I like it, I like it." An Youhe became nervous and started stammering again.

She extended her right hand and let Ye Zhou gently put the wristband on her wrist.
