Chapter 397 Hello, Boss Xiao
Lin Lezhi intervened, and Xiao Yihuo smiled slightly, then placed the jade pendant into Lin Lezhi's hand.
Not long ago, this piece of black jade was in Xiao Yihuo's hands, and he could feel the warm and smooth texture of the jade's surface in his palm.
Lin Lezhi gently stroked the patterns on the jade pendant, her eyes tracing every inch of it, and her eyes involuntarily misted over.
It seemed that the temperature of the jade pendant was not brought about by Xiao Yihuo, but by his grandfather.
This subtle yet heart-stirring warmth made Lin Lezhi unable to say anything about wanting to return it, and her hand holding the jade pendant involuntarily tightened slightly.
"Thanks."
Fearing that Xiao Yihuo would notice her unusual emotions, Lin Lezhi only said two words briefly. However, her voice, which was slightly nasal and trembling as she tried to hold back her tears, was not so easy to hide.
Xiao Yihuo could see that Lin Lezhi had something on her mind, but he didn't point it out. He just looked at Lin Lezhi quietly, with a hint of heartache in his eyes, and said softly, "No need to be polite. Jade meets its destined owner. Since you like this jade, it should have been yours. I'm just handing it over to you."
A look of surprise flashed in Lin Lezhi's eyes, as if she couldn't believe it, then she smiled and said, "You're so good at talking, it's not like you at all."
"I've always been like this."
Xiao Yihuo's words sounded shameless. He didn't even look at himself before. He seemed to have his wariness and suspicion written all over his face. He would tease him with his words from time to time. He was sharp-tongued and had a cold and aloof attitude.
Lin Lezhi mentally listed Xiao Yihuo's crimes one by one.
However, all the little things that had happened since they met, and the experiences they had gone through together, had stirred up quite a bit of emotion in Lin Lezhi's heart.
Xiao Yihuo was not as cold and inhumane as he appeared on the surface.
On the contrary, it's because you care that you want to push people away.
But it was precisely these good intentions that made Lin Lezhi feel somewhat unreal and uneasy.
He seems to have received too much lately.
He always felt.
This kindness shouldn't belong to me.
I always feel like I'm taking something that belongs to someone else, and I have a very strong sense of unworthiness.
He gripped the jade pendant tightly again, his chest pounding, and asked tentatively, "...Why are you so good to me? We've only met a few times, we're not even close. You don't need to do all this for me."
in fact.
Lin Lezhi still had many questions. He wanted to know what had happened between this body and Xiao Yihuo that made him risk his own life to save him time and time again when his life was in danger.
He seemed very afraid of this body dying.
If it wasn't Nan Rongyi, then Xiao Yihuo must have had something happen with the original owner of this body, or have some connection with Nan Rongyi, to make Xiao Yihuo so concerned.
As she asked the question, Lin Lezhi felt as if the air around her had become stagnant, perhaps due to some psychological reason.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yihuo slowly spoke: "Didn't you say that friendship isn't judged by time? It's common for people who have known each other for a short time to become close friends at first sight?"
He did say those things.
Can……
The saying "Friends should not be judged by the passage of time" was said by him when he and Qingchuan went into the forest to look for bone lotus flowers.
Lin Lezhi smiled.
A slight soreness rose in my chest.
have to say.
Xiao Yihuo and Qingchuan had a really good relationship; they were practically inseparable.
When he went to Qingchuan to inquire about matters related to the case, asking if poisoning and hanging were similar, Qingchuan did not hide anything from Xiao Yihuo.
Just when Lin Lezhi thought Xiao Yihuo wouldn't say anything more.
Xiao Yihuo took a deep breath and slowly said, "We haven't known each other for very long, and we can't be considered close friends, but I have benefited a lot from the time I have spent with you. Although you think you haven't done anything, every moment I have spent with you is incredibly precious to me."
He paused for a moment, then said earnestly yet gently, "I bought this jade for you because I saw that you liked it. I don't expect anything in return, so you don't need to feel guilty. It's to thank you for taking care of me at the inn, and more importantly, because you are a true friend I want to be."
Listen and.
A wave of emotion surged in Lin Lezhi's eyes, and a warm current flowed through his heart.
Although he knew Xiao Yihuo was hiding something, it had happened to the previous owner of this body, and no matter what happened, he had no right to ask.
It's easier to live if you know nothing. As an outsider, why should he make things difficult for himself?
not to mention.
If we continue to investigate along the current leads, we will eventually find out the truth.
There is no rush for this moment.
It's better to live according to your own heart until then.
As for the rest, if I can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking about it.
If he's going to leave, he'll have to forge his own path.
He smiled, his usual playful demeanor returning, and carefully tucked the piece of black jade into his sleeve. He then looked at Xiao Yihuo with a smile and said, "Since you're so generous, I won't stand on ceremony. I'll accept it. Thank you, Boss Xiao."
"I'm not selling anything, why are you calling me boss?"
The words fell.
Lin Lezhi laughed even harder, looking at Xiao Yihuo's face, as if she had inexplicably stepped on some kind of funny trigger, making Xiao Yihuo's expression even more puzzled.
He couldn't understand why Lin Lezhi was suddenly laughing like that.
Xiao Yihuo appears to be cunning and suspicious, and he is also very good at making sarcastic remarks, but in some ways, he is surprisingly serious.
The more confused Xiao Yihuo was, the more seriously he responded, and the more Lin Lezhi wanted to laugh.
However, this term only emerged in his era, and it would be a miracle if Xiao Yihuo could understand it.
Lin Lezhi quickly waved his hand, unable to stop laughing, "You don't need to understand. You just know that you don't necessarily have to be a business owner to be called a boss. Someone who is generous and magnanimous can also be called a boss."
Xiao Yihuo tried to understand what Lin Lezhi was saying, but it seemed that the more confused he became, the happier Lin Lezhi became, and tears even welled up in her eyes from laughing.
Lin Lezhi always claims to have amnesia, but his behavior and thoughts are always strange and hard to understand.
Seeing Lin Lezhi laughing so happily, Xiao Yihuo was also unconsciously infected by him, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
The book was opened, and the pages rustled as the river breeze turned them.
After Lin Lezhi finished laughing, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile, saying, "I ruined your book. Once it's ruined, it can't hold its value anymore. I'll go buy you another one to make up for it."
Before Lin Lezhi could touch the book, Xiao Yihuo grabbed it first, closed it, and said, "It's precisely because it's damaged that it's the only one of its kind in the world. How do you know it won't increase in value in the future?"
Just now.
A table at a wonton stall not far away became available, and the owner called out to the two, "Gentlemen, may we come and have some wontons?"
Lin Lezhi had almost suppressed his laughter, but Xiao Yihuo's words provoked him to laugh again. He gave a thumbs up and said, "You really sound like a boss when you say that. You have such good vision and business acumen."
As she spoke, Lin Lezhi stood up, her words and expression carrying a hint of sarcasm: "Then Mr. Xiao, you just keep this book and wait for him to raise the price. I won't wait with you. I'm going to eat some hot wontons."
