Chapter 592 Happy Birthday
There was nothing special in the room, just some small items on the table.
Xiao Xixi took a closer look and found a piece of jade and some carving tools on the table.
The piece of jade was carved into a small seal the size of a thumb. On the top of the seal was a fat cat licking its paw. From its vivid expression and figure, it can be seen that its prototype should be the orange cat that came to Jingxin Garden to eat every day.
Xiao Xixi squatted beside the table, stared at the seal for a long time, and asked cautiously.
"Can I touch it?"
Luo Qinghan sat down at the table, picked up the seal and put it in her hand.
He said, "This seal has not been carved yet. I originally wanted to wait until it was finished before giving it to you, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient. Now that you have seen the seal, the surprise is gone."
Xiao Xixi looked at the seal over and over again, liking it very much.
She smiled and said, "Who said there are no surprises? I am very surprised now."
Luo Qinghan took out a piece of paper: "Since you already know everything, then choose a font you like."
Xiao Xixi looked down and saw several characters in different styles written on the paper, all of which read "Xiao Xixi".
She asked curiously, "Did you write all of this?"
Luo Qinghan: "Well, I don't know which font you would like, so I wrote down several fonts that I think are good. You can pick one."
Xiao Xixi put down the seal, picked up the paper, looked at it carefully, and finally pointed at one of them and said.
"Let's take this one. This one looks prettier."
Luo Qinghan nodded and said yes.
He picked up the seal, turned it over, revealing the smooth and flat bottom, then picked up the carving knife, gestured a few times, and began to carve.
Carving a seal is a delicate job that requires great concentration.
Xiao Xixi was afraid that he didn't have enough light, so she pushed the lamp towards him.
The dim candlelight reflected on the prince's face, and his originally cold features were coated with a layer of warm glow, making him look indescribably gentle.
Xiao Xixi leaned on the table, supporting her face with one hand, and looked at him without blinking.
She looked at Luo Qinghan, and Luo Qinghan looked at the seal in his hand.
The carving knife slid gently across the jade, making a slight sound.
The atmosphere is quiet and harmonious.
Luo Qinghan suddenly looked up at her and said, "You should go to sleep first. I still need some time here."
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "I'm not sleepy, I just want to stay here with you."
Luo Qinghan smiled.
Although it was just a very light smile, it still made Xiao Xixi feel heartbeating.
She adjusted her sitting position and continued to look at him without blinking.
Luo Qinghan stood up and got a piece of clothing for her to put on, then continued to carve the seal.
I don’t know how long it took, but a faint bell sound came from the distance.
That is the sound of the city bell.
Every midnight, the bell on the city wall would ring to remind the people in the city that the city gates were closed, the curfew had begun, and no one was allowed to walk around the city at will.
Luo Qinghan put down the carving knife and handed over the carved seal.
"I carved it just in time for midnight."
"Happy birthday, Xixi."
Xiao Xixi took the seal with both hands.
She felt as if something was swollen in her heart, and she couldn't help but lower her voice.
"Thanks."
Luo Qinghan looked into her eyes and asked slowly.
"I am the first person to say happy birthday to you today, right?"
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
"From now on, on this day every year, I will be the first one to say happy birthday to you."
Xiao Xixi felt her nose getting a little sour: "Hmm!"
Luo Qinghan lowered his head, kissed the tip of her nose, and asked softly.
"What's your birthday wish?"
Xiao Xixi's biggest wish is to live past the age of nineteen.
But she knew that this wish was destined not to be realized.
She told herself not to be too greedy. She was already very lucky to be able to travel here and meet her master, fellow disciples, Baoqin, and the prince.
She couldn't ask for more.
Xiao Xixi said with red eyes: "I want to eat wontons, white porridge, and scallion pancakes with you in the morning, and fried rice, barbecue, and crayfish at night. I want to eat all the delicious food with you."
Luo Qinghan's fingertips brushed across the corners of her eyes, taking away the slight wetness.
"Why are you still crying?"
Xiao Xixi choked up and said, "I didn't cry, my eyes just felt a little sore."
Luo Qinghan thought she was moved to tears, so he reached out and held her in his arms, his voice gentler than ever before.
"Tomorrow morning I'll take you to the city to eat wontons, white porridge and scallion pancakes."
Xiao Xixi rubbed against his collar.
He wiped away the moisture from the corners of his eyes and the random thoughts in his heart.
When she raised her head again, her face was clean.
She asked curiously, "Aren't you not allowed to leave the imperial mausoleum?"
Luo Qinghan: "Doesn't your third brother know how to disguise himself? Just ask him to change our appearance."
Xiao Xixi immediately burst into laughter: "Good idea!"
She put the kitten stamp in her purse and wanted to carry it with her, but she felt that it was not safe. What if the purse fell or was thieved?
She pointed at the seal and asked, "Can I make a small hole in it?"
Luo Qinghan: "Why do you want to pierce it?"
Xiao Xixi said a little embarrassedly: "I was afraid of losing it, so I wanted to wear it and hang it around my neck."
Luo Qinghan didn't say anything, his heart was already softened.
She was like his nemesis. With just a word or a gesture from her, she could accurately hit the softest spot in his heart, making him compromise and retreat involuntarily.
He couldn't help but feel lucky that she was not his enemy, otherwise he would have been defeated and completely defeated.
Luo Qinghan picked up the seal and looked at it, and finally decided to pierce a small hole in the cat's ear.
Xiao Xixi returned to her bedroom with the little cat seal with the hole pierced through it, and picked out a thin silver chain from the jewelry that her third senior brother had given her during the day.
She passed the chain through the seal and hung it around her neck.
Originally, there was a jade pendant in the shape of a bighead carp hanging around her neck.
That was also given to her by Luo Qinghan.
Although the texture of the jade pendant was not very good, Xiao Xixi never disliked it. She always wore it and never took it off.
Now put it together with the kitten seal. Not to mention the carving, just the texture of the jade itself is a world of difference.
The bighead carp pendant is made look terrible by the kitten seal.
Luo Qinghan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he helped her take off the bighead carp pendant.
When he gave her this thing, he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that the style looked cute and adorable and quite suitable for her. But now he feels that this thing is too inferior and not worthy of Xiao Xixi at all.
His beauty matches the best of everything in the world.
Luo Qinghan wanted to throw away the bighead carp jade pendant, but was stopped by Xiao Xixi.
