Chapter 274 Gift
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing Zhong Nianyao fall silent, Lu Yichen spoke up, "You seem lost in thought. Did something happen to you?"
Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "No, it's just that there are some things I can't figure out. But it doesn't matter. There is fate in this world. When the time comes, the truth of many things will surface."
No matter what method Shen Yixue used to become Chu Yixue, we will know when the time comes.
However, she had already seen from Chu Xu's palm and face that the second daughter of the Chu family was still alive, but not doing well. Should she help?
Although he didn't know what Zhong Nianyao was talking about, Lu Yichen could tell that she wasn't troubled, so he didn't ask any more questions. He simply took out a box and handed it to her, "A gift for you."
"Huh?" Zhong Nianyao was a little surprised and raised her eyebrows. "Why did you suddenly think of giving me a gift?"
"I'm pursuing you!" Lu Yichen suddenly approached Zhong Nianyao and whispered, "As a pursuer, I'm giving you a gift to win your favor. Isn't it only natural? You can't refuse this gift!"
Zhong Nianyao smiled and opened the box. When she saw what was inside, she couldn't help but feel surprised, "Emerald Heart?"
That's right, the box contained the Emerald Heart that was found in Myanmar before. However, unlike the previous one, this Emerald Heart had been made into a jade bracelet.
"Yeah." Lu Yichen sat back down, but his eyes were still on Zhong Nianyao. "I gave it to you before, but you refused it. Now that you've agreed to pursue you, you can't refuse a gift from a pursuer like me."
"Also, your body was severely damaged by the hijacking. Although you've recovered now, your vitality was severely damaged. With this Emerald Heart, you'll recover faster."
"Then it seems I can't refuse." Zhong Nianyao smiled. She picked up the bracelet and looked at it. "But I'm curious, how did this Emerald Heart become a bracelet?"
The original piece of jade heart was not enough to carve into a bracelet, and it can be seen that the jade heart was not missing at all, but the shape had changed. This is a strange thing.
"You don't need to worry about this. It will be more convenient for you to wear it as a bracelet, right?"
After saying that, Lu Yichen directly picked up the Emerald Heart Bracelet and put it directly on Zhong Nianyao's hand.
The transparent jade makes Zhong Nianyao's already slender hands look even more icy and delicate.
"So where are we going next?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Lu Yichen beside her and said with a smile, "You asked me out today. You didn't just plan to sit in the car and chat with me, did you?"
"Let's go shopping!" Lu Yichen said, "I heard there's a lively food street, let's go there and join in the fun!"
Zhong Nianyao had no opinion.
Soon, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao arrived at a famous snack street in the imperial capital.
Even though it was daytime, the snack street was already bustling with activity. Especially since it was Sunday, many office workers were taking advantage of their break to hang out. So, the place was quite bustling with people.
Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao had changed into ordinary, comfortable and simple clothes, and like everyone else, they started strolling around the food street.
However, although the two of them were dressed simply, their outstanding looks and unconcealable extraordinary temperament still made them stand out from the crowd.
Many people were attracted by the two people. However, no one wanted to disturb them. After all, the two people standing together were too pleasing to the eyes. Everyone loves beauty, and ordinary people like them really couldn't bear to destroy such beauty.
Because there were so many people, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao were holding hands without realizing it.
Lu Yichen was very satisfied with this. He hadn't expected things to progress so quickly, to be able to walk hand in hand today. He felt that deciding to stroll through this food court was definitely the right decision.
Zhong Nianyao naturally noticed Lu Yichen's little move, but she didn't resist. Since she had already promised to give Lu Yichen a chance, she naturally wouldn't go back on her word.
Besides, she felt that holding Lu Yichen's hand was a good feeling, and there was no need to resist and make everyone unhappy!
The two of them were just like an ordinary couple, strolling casually in the food street, looking comfortable and relaxed.
Zhong Nianyao looked at Lu Yichen beside her and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Although the two of them had changed into simple and comfortable clothes, she still felt that Lu Yichen was somewhat out of tune with the atmosphere here. However, looking at Lu Yichen now, she felt a strange sense of harmony.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's laughter beside him, Lu Yichen turned his head and looked at Zhong Nianyao with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Is there something wrong with my face?"
"No." Zhong Nianyao shook her head gently. She tilted her head and smiled mischievously, "I just didn't expect you to be so down-to-earth. Looking at you now, you really don't look like your usual detached self!"
To be honest, from the moment she saw Lu Yichen, she had a feeling that he was otherworldly. Especially that sickly aura, whether it was real or fake, he really looked like he had no desires or ambitions!
"Confucius said, 'Food and sex are human nature!'" Lu Yichen suddenly pulled Zhong Nianyao, bringing her closer to him. He leaned close to Zhong Nianyao's ear and spoke in a low voice with a smile.
"I'm just an ordinary man, so naturally I live in the mundane world. Moreover, with a beautiful woman by my side, even the most aloof immortal would be willing to descend into the mortal world."
The warm breath coming from her ears made Zhong Nianyao feel a little itchy, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red. She gently pushed Lu Yichen and said coquettishly, "If you want to talk, talk nicely and don't touch me."
Anyway, the purpose of teasing Zhong Nianyao has been achieved. Lu Yichen followed suit and immediately stood up straight. Then he took Zhong Nianyao's hand and said with a doting tone, "Let's keep going forward! Let's see if there is anything interesting up ahead."
Zhong Nianyao naturally wouldn't continue to worry about it.
The two of them soon merged into the crowd again.
