Seventy-one:
Ji Qingzhou didn't expect that he actually prepared a New Year's gift for himself. He looked at the blue box in Chu Cheng's hand and asked in surprise, "My New Year's gift?"
"Yes." Chu Cheng took his hand and put it on top, "Open it and take a look."
Ji Qingzhou looked at the gift in his hand, raised his head to look at him guiltily, and said apologetically, "But, I didn't prepare a New Year's gift for you."
"I don't need it." Chu Cheng said, "No one stipulates that gifts must be given to each other."
Ji Qingzhou still felt a little embarrassed. He felt that he was really wrong. Chu Cheng remembered to prepare a New Year's gift for him, but he forgot to prepare a New Year's gift for Chu Cheng. This was really wrong.
"Then I'll replenish it for you later." He said.
Chu Cheng didn't care about these. He gave gifts based on his mood and didn't care about anything. He just looked at Ji Qingzhou's guilty look and said helplessly, "Okay, if you want to give it, just give it."
After hearing this, Ji Qingzhou finally felt like opening the box in his hand. The box was not big, but square. Ji Qingzhou felt like it contained some jewelry. Sure enough, there was a necklace neatly placed in the box.
It was a very simple necklace, with a black string and an intricately carved jade pendant. There was no other decoration, it was simple and plain. Ji Qingzhou picked up the necklace, looked at the slightly shaking jade pendant, and asked in confusion, "What is this? What kind of fruit does it look like? Apricot? Peach? It's definitely not an apple."
No wonder he couldn't tell that the shape of this jade pendant was indeed somewhat special. Different from the common shapes on the market, this jade pendant was carved into the shape of a branch with leaves and a fruit. The craftsman who carved it was very good. The texture of each leaf was clear, and even the veins of the leaf could be seen. The fruit was hiding under the leaves, and with the clear green color, it was very beautiful.
Chu Cheng heard him ask this, and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
"I can't tell. I think it should be apricot, green apricot?"
Chu Cheng smiled softly, took the necklace from his hand, and put it on his neck, "It's an apricot, yes, and it's indeed a green apricot. Green apricots are not yet mature, and they are green and astringent, which suits you very well."
Ji Qingzhou nodded after hearing what he said, and looked down at the jade pendant on his neck. "Did you find someone to carve it specifically?"
"yes."
"Thank you. I like it very much."
"Do you really like it?" Chu Cheng asked as he got closer.
Ji Qingzhou nodded, "It looks very nice, and very unique."
Chu Cheng laughed quietly when he heard this.
Ji Qingzhou looked at him, and the more he looked at him, the more strange it seemed to him. He always felt that Chu Cheng was not in the right state, as if he was hiding something from him. Ji Qingzhou stared at him and thought carefully for a long time before he finally realized, "You must be lying to me!"
He looked at Chu Cheng, "What green apricot? It's not ripe yet, it's still green, which suits me very well! This apricot is clearly an apricot that has cheated on her husband!"
Ji Qingzhou was so amused by him that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why don't you take a red jade sculpture? The color is perfect!"
Chu Cheng saw that he finally reacted and smiled for a while. Seeing that Ji Qingzhou looked angry, Chu Cheng comforted him in a gentle voice, "Are you angry? Don't be angry. I am an apricot that has cheated on you. I am clearly an apricot on a red apricot branch with spring in its wings. I symbolize the beauty of spring and also imply that your future will be as beautiful as the spring scenery."
Ji Qingzhou snorted coldly, "Do you think I believe it?"
Chu Cheng put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Of course I believe you. I treat you so well because I hope you will have a bright future. This is exactly what it means."
Ji Qingzhou didn't believe him and lowered his head to look at the jade pendant on his neck.
Chu Cheng followed his gaze and thought the jade pendant was quite nice. "Don't you like it?" he asked Ji Qingzhou. "I drew the design myself and hired someone to carve it."
Ji Qingzhou glanced at him sideways, and Chu Cheng kissed him, "It's still pretty cute, isn't it."
Ji Qingzhou lowered his head and took another look. He had to admit that this jade pendant was indeed carved very cutely. He smiled softly and thought Chu Cheng was quite interesting. He had called him "Axing" when he was jealous before, and now he simply carved an apricot for him. It was really... a little cute.
Ji Qingzhou turned to look at him, "Are you worried all day long that I'm having an affair?"
"Of course not, but given your criminal record, I sometimes need to remind you appropriately."
Ji Qingzhou shook his head. "If I could become a spirit, I would probably be an apricot tree. If you could become a spirit, you would probably be a wall. As for me, you are as good as me, and you are as evil as me. You should keep me firmly inside your wall."
Chu Cheng smiled and said, "That's perfect."
"Yeah, Ah Qiang." Ji Qingzhou finished and suddenly laughed. He looked at Chu Cheng and then realized, "Chu Qiang, cheating. Hahahaha, Chu Cheng, you're done. You have to press your buttons. I'm Hong Xing. The two of us together is just like Hong Xing cheating on his wife. You're too miserable."
Chu Cheng: ...
Chu Cheng looked at Ji Qingzhou who couldn't stop laughing, and thought it was a coincidence. He had never thought that there would be such a method, but Ji Qingzhou had turned the tables on him. Chu Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and thought that his surname was too unfriendly to him.
"Is it that funny?" Chu Cheng said helplessly.
Ji Qingzhou nodded, patted the back of his hand, tried to put away his smile, and made himself look more serious, "Don't worry, I will try my best not to cheat."
