Su Jiu was stunned again. What does he mean?
“Big Brother, why did you give it to me when you knew it was very valuable? Are you alright? Did you give this to me on impulse?”
She really could not accept such an expensive gift!
Especially when the little villain was still living without much money. How could he bear to give this gift to her?
How could she accept it so easily?
Rong Si was speechless.
“I wasn’t impulsive.”
“I don’t believe you! Unless you can give me a convincing reason, you can take this gift back. I can’t accept it. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep at night!”
Rong Si felt a little helpless when he saw the girl’s serious expression.
He knew that Little Jiu was smart and quick-witted. However, at this moment, he really hoped that she would be a little foolish and careless, that she wouldn’t realize what this jade pendant was worth and would just happily accept it.
Rong Si did not know how to answer her. He could not possibly tell her that his mother has given this to me. He could not possibly tell her that this was his grandmother’s dowry. Before her death, his grandmother had given this jade to his mother for her future granddaughter-in-law.
Rong Si was afraid that if Little Jiu knew about this, she might get frightened off.
As for this jade pendant, his mother had always kept it herself. When she saw that her son had grown up, she had allowed him to keep it. She said that when he reached adulthood if he had someone he liked and wanted to marry, he could give the jade pendant to that girl as a so-called “token of love.”
After accepting the jade pendant, Rong Si had kept it in his drawer for quite a while. He didn’t need to wait until he grew up to know who he was giving it to.
Other than Little Jiu, there was no one else.
He wasn’t interested in any other girl. He didn’t feel anything toward them.
Initially, he had not planned to give her the jade pendant this soon. However, he thought about how he would have to go far away for high school soon; he might even study overseas in the future. The number of times they would meet would be so low that it could be counted on one hand. Additionally, time passed so quickly. Both of them would grow up in a flash.
He was afraid that if he waited that long to give the jade pendant to her, it would be too late; she might already have a guy she liked by then.
If he gave it to her now, he wouldn’t regret it. Even if she did fall for another guy.
Seeing him staring at her and thinking about something, Su Jiu said again, “Big Brother, tell me quickly. If you can’t convince me, I won’t accept it. I’ll return it to you.”
Looking at the familiar yet lively face in front of him, Rong Si could not help but reach out and gently stroke her soft hair. “I just want to give it to you as a gift. There’s no reason. Can’t I?”
“No, if you have no reason, that’s the most suspicious!” Su Jiu said as she agitatedly waved in front of Rong Si. “Big Brother Rong Si, please wake up. You really shouldn’t give such an expensive thing away so casually. Even if we have been friends for so many years, it still won’t do!”
“But I have no one else to give it to but you.”
“Must you give it away?” Can’t you keep it for yourself?
“I must give it to you,” Rong Si firmly replied.
Su Jiu was speechless. No matter how she asked, she could not figure out why he wanted to give it to her. It would be his loss.
“But, no… this gift is too precious. I can’t accept it. I’ll feel really bad.”
Rong Si put down his hand that was on top of her head. The corners of his mouth seemed to curl up slightly. “Then, at least, can you help me keep it safe?”
“Keep it safe?” Su Jiu blinked.
What’s this?
