Even though there are countless similar stones in the sea of life, his is always different.
"The young lord originally wanted me to use it to make you a necklace." Dion held up the box and admired the beautiful stone. "Are you still going to follow his instructions now?"
Shen Que shook his head, "I asked Pei Ji, and he said it can be done according to my preferences."
Old Dion looked at Shen Que, "What kind of jewelry do you want to make?"
Shen Que's eyes moved slightly, as if he remembered something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I want to make a single earring."
He paused and added, "The left ear."
Dion looked at Shen Que and asked, "You've never worn earrings before... have you?"
Shen Que reached out and lifted the strands of hair beside his left ear.
"No," he whispered, "this is the first time."
…
Three days later, the lord's private port.
Two starships engraved with the Pei family crest were docked one after the other.
Pei Li and Ai Fan stood side by side on the dock, followed by the majestic knights.
The nobles, who had heard the news long ago, gathered outside the port to see off the young lord to participate in the Messiah competition.
Pei Ji stood alone at the cabin door, with no one around him.
He glanced at the time, frowned, and asked Demi beside him: "We are about to set sail, where are the others?"
Demi shook her head. "I don't know. Didn't Madam leave early this morning?"
Pei Ji frowned even deeper and glanced at the time again.
Ai Fan said quietly, "Waiting is always more torturous than usual."
Pei Ji was stunned for a moment and said nothing.
Ai Fan: "Be patient."
She glanced at her son.
Pei Ji was wearing a military uniform, with the three-star badge representing his rank shining brightly on his chest, and his whole body exuded a sharp aura.
Sharp and easy to break...
Ai Fan sighed silently: "I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess has a paranoid personality and is moody. You'd better control your mouth and don't conflict with her."
Pei Ji didn't understand, but he always listened to Ai Fan's words.
Pei Ji nodded.
For some reason, he always felt that Ai Fan was too worried today, as if he was not going to Messiah to participate in the celebration day, but to go to war.
He comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom, I will take good care of Shen Que."
And Ai Fan sighed heavily again.
With half a minute left before departure, Pei Ji felt like his heart was on fire and he kept looking in the direction of the dock.
He didn't mind Shen Que being late, but he was worried that something might happen to him on the way.
Just as he was about to order a delay in departure, there was a commotion outside.
The Knights separated the crowd of onlookers, and Shen Que, dressed in a white military uniform, walked over quickly.
He was almost jogging, and even with the military cap on his head, the ends of his hair still flew up in the wind.
Shen Que saw Pei Ji standing at the cabin door.
Alpha's straight figure is wrapped in a black military uniform. His face under the military cap has clear contours and firm lines. At first glance, he looks exceptionally handsome.
Those sharp eyes brightened the moment they saw him.
Pei Ji stretched out his hand.
Shen Que ran to his side in a few steps and put his arm around his Alpha, "Sorry."
"Don't be impatient." Pei Ji spoke almost at the same time.
As Chen Jue stopped, a bright arc passed by his left ear.
Pei Ji was stunned, his eyes fell on the earrings he had never seen before.
It was a simple single-sided earring.
There was only a gem, strung on his small earlobe.
The gem was cut into a teardrop shape, seemingly using some special technique. Although it looked as smooth as a mirror, when the sun shone on it, it looked like a rainbow was flowing inside, with uncertain light and color.
Very beautiful.
Noticing Pei Ji's gaze, Shen Que's face turned pink, not sure if it was because he ran too fast or something else.
"It was just made this morning, so I went to get it first... I had my ears pierced at the last minute, so it was a bit urgent." He explained why he was late.
Pei Ji held up the earring.
When placed in the palm of your hand, it returns to its original color, with a hint of blue blending into the translucent and pure pink.
“It’s beautiful.”
He praised and reached out to tuck the hair around Chen Que's ears.
"You're wearing shooting stars in your ears."
Chen Que lowered his eyes, avoiding Pei Ji's gaze, but tightened his arm around him slightly.
Pei Ji let go of the earring and stroked Chen Que's still slightly red and swollen earlobe with his fingertips.
"I'll help you detoxify later. Don't touch water today."
Shen Que said "hmm" lightly.
The engine started quickly.
The two said goodbye to their parents and boarded the starship.
When the hatch closed, Pei Ji suddenly said, "I thought you would use it as a pendant or something."
Shen Que doesn't like wearing jewelry.
Pei Ji always thought that if it weren't for his strong request and certain traditions of Baisha Star, he would definitely not take the initiative to wear these eye-catching things.
Pendants are the least conspicuous and most acceptable of all accessories.
Or brooches, collar buttons...I use them often and they are very low-key.
He looked at the heavy earrings again.
He had always wanted to make earrings for Chen Que, but every time he would hesitate and then give up silently.
Some things with special meaning are given to the other person as if unintentionally when the other person is unaware, just like secretly putting shackles on him to satisfy one's own little desires.
The starship gradually rose.
The vortex at the jump point opens.
The white planet disappeared from sight in an instant, replaced by the boundless galaxy.
"Do you know what it means to wear the left earring on Baisha Star?" Pei Ji asked in a low voice.
Shen Que looked at his Alpha, and the gorgeous nebula flowed and stretched behind him.
He slowly raised the corners of his mouth: "It means I am yours."
