"That's different," she corrected. "I said she belongs to me completely, now, in the future, and even a hundred years from now."
He seemed to pause for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
Then he held the crystal core tightly in his palm, and at the same time solemnly took her hand and covered it with his palm.
There was silence all around, but this action stirred up ripples in each other's hearts.
"No matter the past or the future, I will only be with you in the same grave a hundred years from now. You will always be my most beloved wife, Duan Xiaolin."
Pei Xiqing blinked, "OK."
"OK what?"
"It's just a simple ceremony."
She still has some modern perspectives and looks forward to something as unforgettable as the peaceful era and leaving a beautiful impression.
But this is the end.
It's a problem to survive.
It was enough for her and Duan Xiaolin to have a unique agreement between them.
Pei Xiqing explained, "Actually, I wanted to grind a ring for you, but all my previous attempts failed. In the end, I had to settle for the next best thing and made this. It's a little crude, but it's a gift from me. If I improve my skills a little more, I might be able to make you something even better."
"Is the jade pendant I gave you last time still there?" he asked.
"Of course I am." It had been tied to her ankle all this time, and she hadn't moved it since he put it on.
"That jade token was actually something that belonged to my family some time ago."
Pei Xiqing's eyes widened slightly: "Really?"
"It was originally a piece of material my family used to carve amulet stones. Then the zombies appeared, and the material disappeared. They also said that I was lucky enough to find it in the wild some time ago, but it had been ravaged by wind and rain over the past five years, and there was not much left."
"Then you made this jade plaque for me."
"Um."
"That's great." She deliberately sat on the desk and shook the sign on her ankle, making a crisp sound.
She was curious: "But Brother Duan hasn't told me yet, what will you do before the end of the week?"
"It's all in the past. I can't go back no matter what. I might as well use this time of nostalgia to think about my future with you."
Pei Xiqing curled her lips.
Duan Xiaolin held the pen in his hand and asked again, "You've been planning this for so long. Now that you've given me the gift, do you have anything else to say?"
She tilted her head and said, "No more, just continue working."
Having said that, she was about to leave.
The man behind him said slowly: "I'll take you somewhere tonight."
"Where?"
"You'll know when you get there."
"Okay." Pei Xiqing thought about getting another one for Xiaobai. Although it didn't need to be carved specially, it still had to be hung around its neck, in case it was lost and someone picked it up, they wouldn't even know how to contact her.
She sat at the door and forced Xiaobai to come over to put on the collar.
Xiaobai struggled a little at first, then rubbed her palm again, sat down obediently and stopped moving.
Touching the crystal core once again, Pei Xiqing seemed to feel an... inexplicable power from this strange object.
It was as if it was sucking something out of her body.
Pei Xiqing suddenly dropped the crystal core in his hand.
The palm of his hand felt as hot as if it had touched fire, but there was nothing unusual on the surface.
She hesitated for several seconds before trying to touch it again.
There was no burning sensation this time.
The crystal core actually melted directly in her palm.
