"Okay, let's go!" Liang Mei happily took Lin Chaosheng's arm and pulled him towards the door.
"Be careful, hold onto the seat in front of me." Lin Chaosheng planned to push Liang Mei to the gold shop to get gold, since the road wasn't far and he felt he could walk there.
Liang Mei carefully sat on the back seat of the car, but seeing that Lin Chaosheng was not riding the bicycle but pushing it in front, she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why aren't you riding the bicycle?"
Lin Chaosheng turned around and smiled at her, "It's not far, I can walk there, and it'll be a good way to digest."
Seeing this, Liang Mei also planned to get out of the car and walk to the gold shop with Lin Chaosheng, but Lin Chaosheng stopped her: "Don't keep walking back and forth, I'll push you there."
Liang Mei shook her head. "The doctor also said that more exercise will help with my delivery. Just let me get down and walk around. Besides, I've been staying at home all the time and haven't gone anywhere. Let me take my time and stroll around the streets."
Seeing Liang Mei acting coquettishly towards him, Lin Chaosheng had no choice but to let her get off the bicycle and walk. He pushed the bicycle with one hand and put his other arm around Liang Mei's waist, keeping his eyes fixed on her, not daring to ignore her for a moment, for fear that something might happen.
Seeing Lin Chaosheng's nervous expression, Liang Mei laughed: "So this is your first time being a father!"
Lin Chaosheng said with a serious expression, "Even if I were a father for the second time, I would still do the same."
After hearing what Lin Chaosheng said, Liang Mei felt a warm feeling in her heart.
The two quickly pushed their bicycles to the gold shop. Lin Chaosheng parked the bicycles against the wall next to the gold shop and locked them.
"Let's go in."
"What would you two like me to do?" The old goldsmith was busy with his work when he heard someone come in. He looked up and then gave his apprentice a look, signaling him to go and entertain the two guests.
The apprentice reluctantly walked up, looked Lin Chaosheng and Liang Mei up and down, and couldn't help but feel a sense of disdain. He immediately concluded that the couple must not have much money, so he lazily handed them a price list for gold-making.
"Here's the price, take a look for yourselves." The apprentice handed it to them casually, then turned around and continued to learn how to forge gold from the old goldsmith.
Lin Chaosheng didn't seem to care much. He took the price list and looked at it with Liang Mei. "I'm planning to get you a set of three gold pieces. What style do you want? I'll have them bring out some pictures for you to see in a bit."
Liang Mei glanced at the price list and was immediately stunned by the exorbitant prices. She whispered in Lin Chaosheng's ear, "How can it cost six yuan to make a ring?"
The young apprentice next to them had sharp ears and immediately heard Liang Mei complaining about the high price of gold-making. He turned to them and said, "My master's gold-making skills are top-notch on this street, and this price is already very reasonable. If you don't believe me, go and see other places. You can't afford it, can you?"
The old goldsmith, who had just finished his work, heard his apprentice treating the customer this way and slapped him on the head: "You bastard, how dare you talk like that?"
"That's for sure. They're dressed so shabbily, they obviously don't have much money, yet they want to strike gold! This gold probably doesn't even weigh three grams, right?" The apprentice muttered, rubbing his head where he had been hit.
"Still talking!" The old goldsmith was about to hit his apprentice on the head with a stick again, but the apprentice quickly protected his head and ran away.
The old goldsmith sighed and shook his head, apologetically saying to Lin Chaosheng and Liang Mei, "I'm really sorry, my apprentice is always like this, please don't be angry."
Lin Chaosheng waved his hand, "It's alright, it's alright, this is normal, we're really dressed like this..."
"Please don't say that," the old goldsmith waved his hand, showing them the various styles of gold jewelry. "Take a look and see what styles you all want."
Liang Mei took the jewelry design drawings and looked at them carefully. "These designs are all so beautiful, I can't choose one."
Lin Chaosheng leaned over to take a look. Although she was just a grown man and didn't know anything about jewelry, every style in the pictures was indeed eye-catching.
"It's okay, buy as many as you want." Lin Chaosheng patted his chest confidently.
But how could Liang Mei really listen to him? She first carefully examined all kinds of rings and struggled with several of them that had carvings, wave-shaped designs, and a plain band.
"Chaosheng, which one do you think we should choose?" Liang Mei asked, pointing to several of her favorites.
Lin Chaosheng didn't understand these things, but he still looked at them carefully. He found that these styles were very similar to those he had seen in his previous life in modern life, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Fashion really is a cycle."
Then, he suddenly remembered that in his previous life, modern people liked to have words engraved inside their rings. The few openwork ones looked very difficult to make, and he thought the wavy ones were just so-so, so he chose a plain band. "How about this one?"
Liang Mei didn't know why Lin Chaosheng chose this one. She had only considered the plain ring as an option because it was more elegant and dignified. So she asked, "Why did you choose this one?"
Lin Chaosheng explained, "How about we each engrave one inside the ring, you one, and me one?"
"Engrave words?" Liang Mei was completely bewildered. She had no idea where Lin Chaosheng had come up with this idea. "What words should we engrave?"
"Engrave your name and the initials of my name." Lin Chaosheng chuckled.
The old goldsmith, listening nearby, was also astonished. He had never seen such a creative customer before, so he praised, "That's wonderful! In that case, your rings will be one of a kind in the world!"
Liang Mei was immediately moved. Not only were the two rings unique in the world, but they also contained evidence of their love. "That makes sense," she said.
"Can words be engraved on this wave pattern?" Liang Mei asked the old goldsmith again.
“A wavy shape is possible, but it would take a while to make thin circles, and thick circles wouldn’t be suitable for your hand,” the old goldsmith said.
Upon hearing this, Liang Mei hesitated. She didn't really want to wait long; she wanted to quickly put on the ring that could represent the proof of her love with Lin Chaosheng.
Seeing that Liang Mei was hesitating, Lin Chaosheng advised her, "Why don't you wear this plain ring? I think it looks elegant and dignified, just like you."
Liang Mei patted Lin Chaosheng sheepishly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Okay then, let's make a plain ring."
After hearing this, the old goldsmith quickly went to draw a sketch. "So, what are the initials of your two names?"
“I am LcS, and she is Lm,” Lin Chaosheng quickly said.
“Alright, then I’ll measure your fingers first and then draw a sketch for you to take a look at,” the old goldsmith began to rummage through his toolbox. “Madam, you can continue to look at other jewelry styles you might like.”
