Chapter 433: 433: This Could Probably Be a Space
Tong Sanlang heard this and his black eyes widened, “But I’ve been wearing it for so many years and never noticed it was a space.”
“It’s because of the blood.” This space was originally a water droplet bracelet. It accidentally came into contact with her blood, the jade in the shape of a drop of water directly entered her body, leaving only a very shallow water mark on her wrist.
“Try it now.” Qiao Xiaomai placed her flashlight on the ground, took a fruit knife from the space, grasped Tong Sanlang’s hand with both hers, and was about to cut him.
Tong Sanlang quickly pulled his hand back at her words, “That’s not what I meant.”
“I brought this out to propose to you.”
He wanted to marry Qiao Xiaomai, he desired it very much.
But there was no silver in his family now, and the house was in a mess. Under such circumstances, if Qiao Xiaomai were to marry into his family, she would definitely be mistreated.
His family was not kind to Qiao Xiaomai.
Now he brought this out, wanted to give it to Qiao Xiaomai as an engagement token.
Wait until his family’s situation stabilizes, then bring up the matter of marriage.
So not bringing up about bleeding, there’s no need.
“If you really need to bleed, you can use your own blood.” Tong Sanlang stuffed the pendant into Qiao Xiaomai’s hands.
Qiao Xiaomai held the fruit knife in her right hand and the pendant in her left, and stood still, “To propose?”
Tong Sanlang uncomfortably touched his nose, “I know, this situation might be a bit beneath you…But I’m serious and sincere!”
“You’ve seen too many nice things, I don’t have anything that can measure up. Under the rush, all I could think of was this…”
“Don’t snub it, in the future, I will make money by hunting…um…I will let the old craftsman make some jewelry for you?”
Tong Sanlang’s last words came out weak.
Qiao Xiaomai loves food and crafts.
As for food, cooking was not his strong suit.
He couldn’t very well present her with a wild boar he had hunted from the mountains as an engagement gift, could he?
As for crafts, he could make little rabbits from foxtail grass… He also had some basic carpentry skills, and after seeing Qiao Xiaomais’s paper carving, he thought of crafting a wooden one for her.
But his imagination is limited and well, using wood just seems cheap.
So, making a set of jewelry might be better…
He was unsure, looking at Qiao Xiaomai, a little nervously clutching a cake on his lap, his eyes fixed on Qiao Xiaomai, waiting for her response.
Qiao Xiaomai blinked, put the fruit knife back into the space, and looked down at the pendant in her left hand.
It was like white jade, warm and detailed, just like the material of the original water droplet bracelet.
She took the pendant in her right hand, looked at it carefully in the light, and asked, “Are you really giving it to me?”
“It’s for you!” Tong Sanlang nodded vigorously.
“There might be a space hidden inside.” Qiao Xiaomai gave him a slanted glance.
“It’s for you!” Tong Sanlang nodded vigorously.
“But I already have a space, so you should still try. If you try and it doesn’t work, then give it to me as an engagement token.” Qiao Xiaomai said.
Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang’s eyes lit up, “You agreed?!”
“Of course, it’s just part of the process in our relationship.”
Qiao Xiaomai didn’t place much importance on so-called ceremonies.
What she wanted was just peaceful and pleasant days.
If it happens to be Tong Sanlang casually suggesting during a meal, “Why don’t you marry me?” she would gladly accept.
There was no need for a grandiose proposal ceremony, she didn’t care.
As long as he was sincere.
As Qiao Xiaomai was speaking, she reached out to grab Tong Sanlang’s finger, “Come on, let’s try.”
This time she didn’t use the knife. Instead, she grabbed Tong Sanlang’s index finger and gently bit it with her teeth.
Fresh blood flowed out. She hurriedly pressed the wound with the pendant.
There was fresh red blood on the pendant, distinctly contrasting the white color of the pendant.
