Chapter 370 (Bonus Chapter)
370:
Ye Qingxi stared in shock at the person in front of her, "You did this?!"
Qin Cheng nodded. "Mm."
"When did you acquire this skill?"
"It's alright," Qin Cheng said calmly. "It's just a matter of melting the silver, then imprinting the parts you want, and finally polishing them."
"That's good? You call this good?"
Qin Cheng: "It's not difficult."
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi thought he was really amazing!
That's easy!
Just thinking about it makes him feel it's too much trouble.
However, Qin Cheng had already done something for him that he found troublesome just to think about.
At this moment, Ye Qingxi felt a surge of emotion welling up inside her, like a rising tide.
He thought, Qin Cheng really is a very good older brother.
There are probably very few people in this world who can do what he did.
He is very lucky to have met him and have a brother like him.
Ye Qingxi took out the bracelet and asked Qin Cheng to put it on for her.
He looked at the little sunflower on his wrist and the X that belonged to his name, and his heart was filled with joy.
It's really beautiful.
It was made by his brother; it's really beautiful.
After arriving at school in the afternoon, Ye Qingxi showed off her bracelet to her friend, quite proudly.
He is handsome with fair skin and slender wrists, so wearing such a bracelet doesn't look out of place at all; on the contrary, it complements his temperament.
"My brother made it for me," Ye Qingxi said proudly.
Pei Liang: ? ? ?
Pei Liang felt that his good friend's brother's obsession with his younger brother seemed to be getting deeper and deeper.
"Your brother? Qin Cheng? He did it?" Zhong Yan asked in shock.
“Yes.” Ye Qingxi looked at the surprise on his face and leaned closer, saying, “It’s unbelievable, isn’t it? I thought so too at the time.”
“Then he truly loves you.” Zhong Yan looked at him. “I would never do this for my cousins.”
“I don’t know either,” Kang Cong echoed.
Ye Qingxi smiled and said, "My brother has always been very good to me."
“Yes, he loves it,” Pei Liang said. “But why did he suddenly make you a bracelet?”
"He wanted to send me flowers, but I said we have plenty in our yard and don't need any. So he said he could send me a flower that we don't have in our yard," Ye Qingxi said, laughing again.
He truly hadn't expected that the flower Qin Cheng claimed wasn't in the courtyard was actually a silver flower.
"No, why would he send you flowers?" Kang Cong asked, puzzled.
Are older cousins now expected to send flowers to their younger cousins?
“I went to pick up Huo Zinan that day, right? I was going to buy him a bouquet to take with me, but I forgot. When I placed the order later, my brother happened to be next to me, so I ordered a few for him too.”
"So you gave him a few flowers, and he gave you back a flower he made himself," Pei Liang concluded.
Ye Qingxi nodded.
Kang Cong: "...You two are so lovey-dovey."
“They just have a good relationship, what do you know?” Zhong Yan spoke up for her friend.
“Exactly, you don’t understand,” Ye Qingxi said.
“I really don’t understand.” Kang Cong looked at the two of them. “At least my cousin and I don’t think that way.”
"That's because your cousin isn't Xiaoxi," Zhong Yan argued confidently. "If Xiaoxi were my cousin, I'd send him flowers too, whatever flowers he likes!"
Kang Cong: ...Okay, then his cousin is indeed not as good-looking, good at studying, or good-natured as Ye Qingxi.
As the four were talking, the school bell rang, and Ye Qingxi turned around to prepare for class. However, as he listened, he couldn't help but look at the bracelet on his hand.
Pei Liang watched as he looked at the bracelet on his wrist at least twenty times during the entire class, and silently shook her head.
It seems his good friend is just as obsessed with his brother.
Ye Qingxi accepted Qin Cheng's bracelet and wanted to give him one in return.
Therefore, at noon the next day, he asked Qin Cheng, "Where is the shop where you make this bracelet?"
"Why are you asking this?" Qin Cheng asked, puzzled.
“Zhong Yan and the others saw it and wanted to make one for fun, so they asked me to ask you,” Ye Qingxi said.
Qin Cheng, without suspicion, told him the name and address of the shop.
Ye Qingxi quickly wrote it down and went to the store on Saturday according to the address Qin Cheng gave her.
He was wearing a mask, and the boss didn't recognize him at first. He smiled and asked him what he liked.
"We have rings, bracelets, and necklaces here."
"I want to make a bracelet," Ye Qingxi said.
"This way." The shopkeeper led him to the craft area.
What kind of product do you want? Do you have any design drawings? What kind of mold do you need?
Ye Qingxi quickly showed her her design drawings.
The boss looked down and noticed the bracelet on his hand before he saw the design drawings.
She looked at Ye Qingxi in surprise—it was him!
That handsome guy's sweetheart wasn't a girl, but a boy!
"Are you... giving this to someone you like?" the shopkeeper asked curiously.
Ye Qingxi smiled. It all depends on whether her liking is a broad or narrow kind of liking.
In a broader sense, then... "Hmm."
The boss was pleased to hear this.
Who doesn't love a couple who go their separate ways?
The taciturn, handsome man had just finished making a bracelet for his sweetheart at her place, and now his sweetheart had arrived, ready to make one for him as well.
So, when it comes to dating, it really depends on the students.
Only students can talk about such pure love.
The boss looked at the parts drawn on the design drawing, stood up, went to the workshop to get the mold, and then began to teach Ye Qingxi seriously.
Ye Qingxi has a strong learning ability. Although he had no prior experience in silver jewelry making, he learned it almost perfectly after being taught by his boss.
However, this was not his area of expertise, so he was inevitably a bit slow in doing it.
The boss watched him working quietly with his head down and thought that at this moment, he was somewhat similar to his boyfriend—both were very serious and focused.
After working on it for about five days, Ye Qingxi finally finished.
Considering that Qin Cheng doesn't usually wear many accessories, Ye Qingxi didn't make it too flashy.
He made only a slightly larger tulip, then added a small sunflower, a few leaves, and the letters CX.
Ye Qingxi looked at the bracelet, which was somewhat similar to hers but not entirely the same, and felt quite satisfied.
He asked his boss to find him a box so he could pack it up.
The shop owner looked at the finished bracelet and then at the bracelet on the man's wrist, thinking to himself: It really is a couple's bracelet.
"They're so beautiful. Both the ones you and your boyfriend made are beautiful. You two are the first couple I've made couple bracelets for since I opened the business."
Ye Qingxi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the bracelet in the box and on his wrist. To be honest, they really did look like a couple's bracelet.
He laughed and explained, "He's not my boyfriend."
"Huh?" The boss was surprised. Wasn't it someone he liked?
“He’s my brother,” Ye Qingxi said.
Brother?! The boss was incredulous.
So these aren't matching couple items, they're matching brothers' items?
Ah, this...
The boss was a little confused. Was she too old to keep up with the ideas of these kids?
elder brother?
He's just the older brother?!
No, little brother, are all brothers this close these days?
Are you that concerned about the other person?
Indeed, it's completely different from what they were like back then.
"Then you two are the first couple I've ever made brothers' bracelets for since I opened this business," the shop owner corrected himself.
Ye Qingxi laughed again. He asked the shop owner for some new molds and planned to make some pendants to give to Mu Shaowu and the others.
He made thirteen in total. After making the ones for his own relatives and elders, he was too exhausted to make any more for Pei Liang and the others, so he gave up.
The shopkeeper helped him get the chains, and Ye Qingxi carefully matched them one by one, put them in a small box, and went home with the goods like a shopping spree.
He distributed the pendants to everyone while he was eating.
"Grandpa's."
"Dad, this is for you, and also for Uncle Feng and Great-Grandpa Feng. Please pass it on to Uncle Feng for me."
"This is for you, Auntie, and this is for Uncle Li Jing. Please pass them on to me, Auntie."
"Then there's yours, Uncle, and also Brother Duan Yi's."
Mu Shaoyan was surprised, "There's one of him too?"
Of course.
Duan Yi is practically his uncle now!
Mu Shaoting looked at the box that belonged to Li Jing and snorted, "He really got off easy."
"That's still a good deal for me. Uncle Li helped me a lot with Huo Zinan's matter."
“That’s what he should do,” Mu Shaoting said matter-of-factly.
Ye Qingxi smiled and felt that she shouldn't say it that way.
There's no question of right or wrong; it's just that his future uncle-in-law loves his aunt very much.
"But why did you suddenly give us this?" Mu Shaoting asked, puzzled.
Mu Shaowu nodded, "So, you bought it?"
Ye Qingxi looked at them and said proudly, "I did it."
"You made this?!" Mu Shaoyan exclaimed in surprise. "You can do this too?"
Mu Shaowu and Mu Shaoting also looked at him in shock.
Even Mu Feng found it somewhat strange.
Ye Qingxi said proudly, "I just learned it!"
He raised his wrist, revealing the bracelet Qin Cheng had given him.
She then explained how she had given Qin Cheng flowers, and how Qin Cheng had given her a bracelet in return.
"So I wanted to make one for him too, so I went to the shop where he makes bracelets. Since I was already there, I decided to get a few more pendants made as well."
"So we were going the same way?" Mu Shaowu teased him.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Mu Shaoting curiously leaned closer to look at the bracelet on his wrist.
"I must say, Xiao Cheng did a really good job."
“I did a good job too,” Ye Qingxi said.
"Really? Let me see." Mu Shaoting's eyes sparkled.
Upon hearing her say that, Ye Qingxi went upstairs and brought down the bracelet she had made.
He opened it in front of Mu Shaoting.
Mu Shaowu and Mu Shaoyan immediately came over.
Upon seeing this, Mu Shaoyan fell silent.
no!
Why are there name abbreviations?!
The last time he saw this was on the engagement ring Duan Yi gave him!
How come his little nephew has it on his bracelet too?!
Mu Shaoyan: ...
Mu Shaoyan felt that something seemed off.
But he quickly found the difference.
The initials on his ring are the initials of Duan Yi's name.
But the bracelet on Ye Qingxi's wrist now has "CX" on it, which is clearly not an abbreviation of Ye Qingxi's name.
So, they should be different, right?
And how old are Ye Qingxi and Qin Chengcai?
We're still brothers.
It's definitely not the same as the meaning behind the abbreviation "Duan Yi".
Thinking this way, Mu Shaoyan finally felt at ease.
Otherwise, he really felt that all of this was extremely familiar!
Especially since their bracelets even look like a pair!
Mu Shaoyan: ...
Mu Shaoyan felt that he had changed.
He is no longer the simple, straight-laced Mu Shaoyan he once was.
He now seems to have a "gay perspective" on everyone!
