90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 344 Pearl Hairpin

The nightmare in the morning was still frightening, and a wave of paleness rushed over the white face, forcing the redness to fade away in an instant.

 The palms of my hands were also cold.

Bai Lu's abnormal reaction was beyond Xiao Cheng's expectation. Before he could think about it, he immediately threw the gift box on the table, hugged Bai Lu tightly, and patted her back to comfort her.

"never mind."

 “Don’t be afraid, Lulu…”

 “I’m here...don’t be afraid...”

Bai Lu’s eyes were blank, her face was as pale as paper, her expression was still, her whole body was stiff, and her breathing was weak.

 The whole person is still in the first reaction after seeing the gift, such as being frightened and losing consciousness.

 There was no reaction.

Hold into Xiao Cheng's arms, the familiar crisp breath hit his mouth and nose, filling the new breath with force, followed by the weak and inaudible breath, Bai Lu fell into the brain of the whirlpool of memories, and then returned to the real world, gradually waking up.

 The stiff hands regained feeling.

 Hmm, he immediately got into Xiao Cheng's broad and solid chest, and was enveloped in the aura of safety.

 From top to bottom, from inside to outside, the body gradually relaxes and returns to normal.

Xiao Cheng was still patting her back to comfort her, the force was light and slow, and the coaxing noise was kept to a minimum.

 “Don’t be afraid, Lulu…”

"never mind…"

Bai Lu, who had recovered, raised her head in Xiao Cheng's arms and stared at him with her eyes.

 “Did you buy the gift?”

Xiao Cheng lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her face, which had lost its fear and was still slightly pale, but her clear eyes were no longer distracted. After looking at each other for a moment, he raised his eyes slightly.

  He glanced at the open gift box on the table.

 The pearl hairpin fell out.

Under the moonlight, seven crystal clear white pearls are round, translucent and flawless.

 Silently attracting the attention of everyone around you.

 It was exactly the same as when Xiao Cheng saw fishermen opening deep-sea clams for the first time in Guangdong Province.

Your eyes are instantly attracted.

His first feeling at that time was that Bai Lu would like it.

An idea suddenly appeared in his mind, asking him to buy seven pearls for Bai Lu.

A very strong thought that could not be ignored took root in Xiao Cheng's mind, reminding him like a bell.

 You must buy seven pearls before you can leave.

If he doesn’t buy it, even if he wants to walk, he can’t take a step. His feet seem to be frozen and he can’t move.

 Later... "bought."

Bai Lu asked again: "Did you buy it when you went to Guangdong Province to discuss business, or did you buy it when you came back? Who bought it from?"

Her tone was a little urgent and her eyes were urgent.

Xiao Cheng explained: "The day before the Chinese Valentine's Day, I went to a coastal city to check out the pearls and bought them from fishermen."

Bai Lu breathed heavily.

As soon as his heartbeat returned to a steady pace, he asked quickly again: "Are the seven pearls on the hairpin all produced from the same pearl clam?"

  Xiao Cheng nodded slightly: "I watched the clam opening process."

Bai Lu clenched her fingers unconsciously.

Her ears were so quiet that she could hear the pounding heartbeat: "Those seven white pearls, each one has a different shape. Are they polished into the perfect round shape on the hairpin the day after tomorrow, or... all seven are natural and perfect without being carved?" Balls?”

 Normally, natural pearls from pearl clams are available in various shapes.

 Oval, irregular round, drop-shaped, pear-shaped, flat beads, button-shaped, nearly round beads, etc.

It is almost impossible to open a clam and find a round pearl. The round pearls on the market have all been polished.

Not to mention, seven white pearls and clams, each of which is a perfect round pearl of the same size.

This is rare in the world, with a probability of one in a billion. Not to mention Xiao Cheng has never seen it, and the fishermen who have been fishing for pearl clams for decades have never seen it or heard of it.

 But accidents always come unexpectedly.       Don't give anyone a chance to prepare mentally.

A miracle that was one in a billion suddenly hit Xiao Cheng’s eyes without any warning and appeared in front of the sea people.

　　It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe the facts before your eyes. Nothing is more real than seeing it with your own eyes.

Xiao Cheng didn't know if Bai Lu had ever seen a one-in-a-billion miracle, but when he saw that in addition to urgency, there was also a faint expectation floating in her eyes, he was a little surprised and replied at the same time.

“Seven perfect round beads are like clams.”

Bai Lu's rapid heartbeat obviously stopped for a moment. She stiffened her neck and slowly turned back, looking at the hairpin on the table.

He turned back and looked at Xiao Cheng steadily.

He asked in disbelief: "You saw the fishermen opening clams with your own eyes and bought seven round pearls with your own hands, but this gift... was a hairpin. You later asked someone to process it and inlaid all seven white pearls into the hairpin. ”

Xiao Cheng looked at Bai Lu with no fear or fear in his eyes, and the rosiness on his face gradually returned.

 Him responded lightly: "Yeah."

 The big hand that did not leave her back patted her again, but was suddenly held back in front of her.

Bai Lu wrapped her two small hands around his big hand and asked him: "Why do you want to make a hairpin?"

“Why not a necklace? A pendant, or a bracelet? Or earrings? Or other decorations? Aren’t the gifts that the hero gives to the heroine on TV all necklaces? We have seen them before watching TV together.”

 There is a TV at home, and Bai Lu and Xiao Wei only like to watch martial arts dramas and on-time news broadcasts.

 Xiao Cheng has no interest in TV and never takes the remote control. He watches whatever Bai Lu watches.

The only two times the two of them watched real-life movies were on the movie channel, and once was "Wrangler".

Another time, Bai Lu turned to the movie channel when a martial arts drama was showing commercials. At that time, the reality romance movie was coming to an end, and the hero gave the heroine a gift, a necklace.

 After confessing our love together, it will be the finale.

 Xiao Cheng remembered that scene because Bai Lu said at the time, "The necklace is actually a little star."

 The eyebrows are slightly stunning, and she seems to like her.

 But the moment he got the pearl, what came to his mind was not the necklace, but a hairpin he had never seen before.

An idea that couldn't be ignored popped up again, reminding him repeatedly that he must make pearls into hairpins.

 Bai Lu likes to issue cards.

 Bai Lu doesn’t like necklaces.

Bai Lu’s favorite hairpin has always been the white pearl hairpin, which has seven perfect round beads.

 The reminder was like a bell beating in his mind. Xiao Cheng did not believe in evil and asked people to make necklaces.

 As a result, the machine broke down.

 The machine for making bracelets is also broken.

 The machine for making earrings also broke down.

 Finally, I had to follow the instructions in my mind and make the seven-pearl hairpin.

I don’t know if it’s a chance of one in a billion or a miracle, but the machine didn’t break down.

 Seven pearl hairpins can be completed in less than seven minutes. The workmanship is exquisite, the shape is unique and beautiful, and it is ingenious.

 There is only one in the world.

The jewelery craftsmen couldn't believe that it was made by him, and they praised themselves to the extreme, praising themselves as peerless geniuses.

He also said that if you give this seven-pearl hairpin to a girl, it will win her heart 200% of the time.

 Xiao Cheng also thought that Bai Lu would like it.

 Unexpectedly, her first reaction was...

"Tell me quickly, Cheng, why did you make pearls into hairpins instead of other things?" Bai Lu was very anxious and shook Xiao Cheng's arm.

Xiao Cheng glanced at the seven-pearl hairpin on the table, without any thoughts in his mind, as if everything before was an illusion, and it was just his own idea to make the hairpin.

"Because of…"

 Xiao Cheng looked at Bai Lu's bright and clear eyes and made sure that he no longer had any fear, then he spoke slowly.

 “Seven Pearl Hairpin is suitable for you.”
