Chapter 345 I didn't dream about it
The White Dew solar term is a bit unbelievable.
She turned around, grabbed the hot pearl hair clip, and held it out in front of Xiao Cheng: "Do you think the hair clip is pretty?"
Xiao Cheng didn't see any disdain in Bai Lu's eyes. He glanced down at the pearl hair clip and nodded slightly.
"It suits you."
Bai Lu realized she couldn't get the answer she wanted from that question, so she quickly changed her tune: "Was the pearl hair clip made into this shape by the jeweler on the spot, or was it your idea?"
The seven-pearl hair clip in front of me is not a typical long, straight shape, but a crescent shape.
Like a crescent moon, seven white pearls adorn the crescent shape, one by one.
When held high towards the night sky, half of the night sky is enveloped, and the darkness is illuminated by the seven pearls.
From the crescent moon held high by the girl, Xiao Cheng saw the moon that appeared in his eyes in broad daylight the day before Qixi Festival... the sun... the sun and moon shining together.
Xiao Cheng clearly remembers that at the time, he did not have that strong feeling of being unable to refuse.
But when the jeweler asked him what shape he wanted, he blurted out... a crescent moon.
The jeweler seemed to understand instantly, and without asking any further questions, he made the "crescent moon" pearl hair clip.
It was exactly as he had imagined.
Therefore, the crescent moon hair clip with seven pearls in front of you.
"That's my idea."
As soon as Xiao Cheng finished speaking, Bai Lu heard her own heart pounding again.
She held the hair clip up to him again: "Don't you think this hair clip is missing something?"
The moon on the first day of the lunar month was only half full, and Xiao Cheng saw Bai Lu's clear and bright eyes through the hollow space in the middle.
Without thinking, I blurted out, "Perhaps we could add something more in the middle."
Bai Lu tentatively asked, "White pearls?"
Xiao Cheng shook his head subconsciously.
Bai Lu took a breath, gripped the hair clip tightly, and spoke slowly and deliberately: "Bai, Yu, Zhu?"
Suddenly, Xiao Cheng's mind conjured up the image of that large house, and the circle of round, white beads made of the finest mutton-fat jade beside the hot spring pool in the annex.
If you remove one and insert it into the hollow part of a crescent-shaped hair clip, it seems to fit quite well.
"suitable."
Bai Lu grabbed Xiao Cheng's collar with both hands excitedly, "Have you been having any dreams lately?"
Xiao Cheng met her bright, expectant eyes and answered clearly with a single word: "Yes."
Bai Lu asked again, "What did you dream about?"
Xiao Cheng: "You."
Bai Lu was taken aback, then pinched his cheek: "Be serious, I'm being serious."
Xiao Cheng was already used to her audacity and ignored the little claws on her face, and he didn't lie.
"Really." ...I dreamt that you left.
Bai Lu was suddenly encircled and met his possessive gaze. She decisively released his face and covered his mouth.
"Alright, alright, I believe you. I still have other questions to ask. If what you want to say isn't particularly important, can you please wait in line? If it is very important... you can't cut in line."
Xiao Cheng: "..."
There is never a choice.
Who gave her the courage to eat bear's heart and leopard's gall?
“Acheng.”
Ignoring Xiao Cheng's murderous glare, Bai Lu thrust the pearl hair clip in front of him without a word: "Have you ever dreamed about this hair clip?"
“Or this kind of…” Bai Lu paused, “a pearl hair clip with seven stars surrounding the moon?”
Xiao Cheng didn't notice anything unusual in Bai Lu's words. He even felt that "seven stars accompanying the moon" was a more suitable definition for the seven pearl hair clip, since it was still missing a white jade bead.
But the pearl hair clip before him, from the moment he encountered the seven pearls from the oyster to the moment he bought it and made it into a hair clip, was a strong thought that always appeared in his mind, and had nothing to do with dreams.
All he could say was, "No."
"Not even once?" Bai Lu asked, her tone slightly urgent.
Xiao Cheng didn't want to lie to her: "No."
"Are there any pearl hair clips that aren't 'Seven Stars Surrounding the Moon' style, but simply made of pearls? Even a crescent moon hair clip made of a single pearl, is there?"
"No."
"Where's the crescent-shaped hair clip that's not made of pearls?"
"No."
The light in Bai Lu's eyes dimmed instantly. "Haven't you ever dreamed about any hair clips?"
Xiao Cheng sensed the slight disappointment in her tone and felt a pang of guilt, but he didn't want to lie to her.
He truthfully replied, "I've never dreamed of hair clips."
Bai Lu deflated and slumped into Xiao Cheng's arms. With only half of her eyes still shining, she carefully examined the Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon pearl hairpin in her hand, which was missing a white jade bead.
Seeing that the girl in his arms was staring blankly at the hair clip, with a normal rosy complexion and no abnormal expression, and her breathing was steady and even, Xiao Cheng did not disturb her. He quietly changed her position to make her more comfortable.
The seven pearl hair clip in Bailu's eyes gradually overlapped with the seven stars accompanying the moon hair clip from her past life's memories.
When spring arrived and flowers bloomed, she was twelve years old. She was giving a bath to a little white rabbit, but the little rabbit kicked its legs and ran away.
She chased after her parents into their room. The wet little white rabbit hopped and jumped around, knocking over the tin box on the dressing table.
Seven crystal-clear white pearls fell out.
She pinched the little white rabbit's long ears to stop it from causing trouble, while picking up the scattered white pearls.
Just then, Mom returned home from grocery shopping. Hearing the commotion, she went inside, and the two of them and the rabbit stared at each other awkwardly.
"Mom's pearls are so pretty...so beautiful...I wonder where she bought them..." She was really going all out to keep the long-eared rabbit from being put in solitary confinement.
Fortunately, Mom wasn't angry; instead, she was lost in sweet memories after hearing what she said.
As he squatted down to pick up the pearls with her, he said in a mysterious and sweet tone, "Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it lovely? This is a token of love that your father gave me."
"Wow~ Dad is so serious, but he has such a romantic side..."
“He learned it from TV, but… I also think it’s so romantic!” Mom smiled, her eyes crinkling.
"On our first date, your dad and I went to the beach. On our way back, we saw some fishermen opening pearl oysters. Guess how many pearls they found?"
"Seven?"
"Wow! Lulu is so smart! That pearl oyster not only produced seven natural pearls, but each one was also the same size, snow-white, round, and flawless. Fishermen say it's a rare miracle. Your dad and I have never seen anything like it before, and then your dad bought this miracle and gave it to me..."
Wow, Dad is so romantic!
"How romantic! That's how our token of love was born. However, because it was such a rare miracle, I wondered what I would make with the pearl. So I just kept it in a box. Now that I think about it, it seems like a bit of a waste..."
"Tomorrow is Lulu's birthday. How about Dad and I take the pearls to a jeweler to make them into hair clips as a birthday present for Lulu?"
"This...isn't this a bit inappropriate...this is a token of your love with Dad..."
"Lulu, tell me first if you like it or not?"
"I do like it... but..."
"Then it's happily decided!"
